Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1114 Whose Upbringing
Lan He sent out the message, but the spies from other guilds around the resurrection point would definitely not be slower than him in sending out messages. Kansas City's teleportation station quickly became lively, with major guilds sending out vanguard troops one after another. It didn't matter which guild's monster was being raised; what mattered was finding out where the monster was.
Some of those arriving were alts with no guild tag, while others were well-known guild elites famous even if they hid their guild tag. Some people met at the teleportation station, but they quickly understood each other and acted on their own. After parting ways, they didn't forget to send their alts to keep an eye on each other.
Kansas City instantly became a mixed bag of tricks. Lan He also received a message from Chun Yi Lao, telling him to gather with the Blue Brook Guild team that was coming over.
"Roger," Lan He replied, immediately moving towards the location specified by Chun Yi Lao. After taking a few steps, he noticed something was wrong and turned his view.
"What are you doing? Why are you following me?"
"Hmm? Have the people from your Herb Garden Guild arrived?" Ye Xiu asked.
"That's none of your business!" Lan He exclaimed.
"Don't you need a powerful helper like me?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Heh heh, powerful helpers are of course welcome, but as for you, forget it," Lan He sneered. Even at this point, this guy still wanted to fish in troubled waters? Did he really think everyone was an idiot?
"Is that so? That's a pity, then I'll leave." Ye Xiu said, with Lord Grim displaying a shrug emote, and turned to leave.
Lan He watched him go for a moment, but soon noticed that the spies from the other guilds at the resurrection point hadn't left. Their views were now locked on one character: Lord Grim. And then gradually, they began to walk in the same direction as Lord Grim.
Lan He suddenly realized.
Lord Grim was such a dangerous element, how could they not monitor his movements? He was the one who created the current situation, so how could he not have any follow-up plans?
Of course not!
This guy must have some other plan, so he couldn't be careless and had to keep an eye on him.
Lan He thought, hurriedly having his alt walk in the same direction, and sent a message back to Chun Yi Lao: "I'm not coming over, I'm keeping an eye on Lord Grim."
"!!!" Chun Yi Lao, who didn't like to chat, expressed his emotions with three exclamation marks.
"Yes, he's here, and even the exposure of the monster being raised here was caused by him," Lan He explained.
Chun Yi Lao immediately became even more cautious, and immediately turned back to instruct the other members of the guild: "Kansas City, send another three teams!"
"Three teams! Is it worth it!" Someone raised an objection. "Snatching the monster is to highlight one point, but it's also very important for us to acquire a large amount of event rewards. Is it too risky to transfer so many elites to focus on the monster?"
"You're right," Chun Yi Lao instantly calmed down. "We must maintain balance. Don't send three teams, just send one more team."
Ye Xiu, Lord Grim. Just the name was enough to make a club guild leader instantly lose his composure. The destructive shadow he left on these people in the Heavenly Domain was unimaginable.
What kind of conspiracy does he have here?
At this time, it wasn't just Chun Yi Lao who was thinking about this question. He wasn't the only one increasing manpower to Kansas City either.
Kansas City was the focus of their strategy at this moment. The monster being raised hadn't been found yet, but Lord Grim had already become the main object of their defense. And in this process, the situation in Kansas City attracted more attention. Guilds that hadn't yet investigated this main city quickly heard about the anomalies here, and quickly began to mobilize manpower as well. This was almost like snatching a wild boss. The guild's movements were easily detected, because if there were too few people, you couldn't win such a battle. If there were too many people, it would be difficult to act secretly.
As a result, the guilds fell into a very awkward situation.
Manpower!
How much manpower should be sent?
For wild bosses, they would naturally send out all the online elites to fight, but now, everyone had to consider balance. They didn't want to affect the guild's overall performance in the event for the sake of such a battle. However, each guild might have different standards for balance. This guild might think that sending one team was balanced, while that guild might think that sending three teams was balanced. As a result, in this battlefield, one team against three teams would be at a great disadvantage?
So the people from each guild were looking for the monster's location while also paying attention to gathering information on the strength of other guilds. Then they would make appropriate adjustments. These adjustments were almost always upwards. Because everyone didn't just want to be equal to the other party; they often wanted to be stronger, so they would be more confident. So this side would adjust, then that side would adjust again. If that side adjusted, then this side would adjust again. If this vicious cycle continued, would there be an end?
Tyrannical Ambition's Jiang You, after successively sending two groups of elites to Kansas City, couldn't sit still any longer. He jumped into the guild leader group and opened the skylight to speak frankly: "I'm going, are we planning to trap all our manpower here?"
"Which side?" Someone immediately asked.
Jiang You was about to type, but suddenly stopped.
The one who asked this was Hundred Blossoms Valley's guild leader Hua Kai Kan Zhe. Did Hundred Blossoms currently have forces entering Kansas City? If not, wouldn't his words expose them? Jiang You hurriedly reviewed the information he had received. He really forgot whether Hundred Blossoms had entered or not for a moment.
But soon someone gave him the answer. Herb Garden's Tian Nanxing replied: "Hua Kai, what are you pretending for? Where are you talking about?"
"Haha, just testing, is everyone here?" Hua Kai Kan Zhe said.
Jiang You was depressed! The communication between these guild leaders was so full of ulterior motives. But since when did they gather together to discuss matters like this? It seemed like they didn't have such a habit before. It was just straightforwardly plotting against each other! Jiang You thought blankly, until he saw someone mention a name in the group.
Lord Grim!
That's right, it was after this person appeared that they had this kind of mode. One person forced these huge guilds to unite against a common enemy. This person was really capable! And this time, was this person actually here again? Tyrannical Ambition received the news later, so they didn't know the role Ye Xiu played in Kansas City. Jiang You only now learned that this guy was actually involved.
No wonder everyone was having a small black room meeting again! Could it be that when this guy was around, everyone would have to face such a difficult situation?
All the guilds that could come to Kansas City were here, so there was really no need to be afraid to talk about this matter. But the key was to solve the problem!
"I say, everyone…" Herb Garden's Tian Nanxing spoke. "It's still during the event period, and time is precious. It's really not worth spending too much time and manpower on this. I suggest that we really be harmonious this time, and not fight each other. Let's just rely on luck, whoever finds it, it belongs to whoever, okay? That way, we don't have to keep endlessly investing manpower."
"That's good!" Someone immediately expressed agreement.
"Good my ass!" As a result, someone quickly objected. It was none other than Blue Brook Guild's Chun Yi Lao, who was so concise and to the point. It was impossible to get this guy to explain the situation clearly in writing. Fortunately, he wasn't the only one who thought the same as Chun Yi Lao at this time. Soon, Howling Heights' guild leader Ma Ta Xi Feng said: "I say, have you forgotten that this isn't a wild boss? This thing has an owner, and that owner is among us!"
Tian Nanxing was stunned. He realized that he had actually forgotten this point.
"Could it be Herb Garden's?" A guild leader immediately guessed. Although this point was actually irrelevant, Tian Nanxing had just proposed a harmonious solution, not adding people, first come first served, which was too beneficial to the protection of the one raising the monster. It immediately made people wonder if it was theirs.
"Tch…" Tian Nanxing then acted disdainfully, but was it real disdain, or was he pretending to be magnanimous? This, like whose monster it was, was unimportant, so everyone was too lazy to guess. They only realized that the target they had to deal with was actually among them. The scene was awkward. No matter what plan they discussed, the defending party could hear it and make targeted defenses! It was really difficult for this person, having to discuss with everyone how to deal with themselves, how cruel!
"This is really annoying…" Someone began to complain. This was a sign of complete cluelessness and helplessness.
"Whose is it? Anyway, it can't escape. Dare to tell us frankly!" Someone shouted.
No one would admit it, but this statement made many guild leaders aware of a problem.
Can't escape…
If the guild raising the monster also completely believed this, then what would they do?
Without a doubt, kill it directly!
"Quick, pay attention to the leaderboard, pay attention to whether there are any sudden and significant increases." A guild leader ordered.
But then he thought again, what was the purpose of raising a monster? It was to provide for the team. Even if this monster being raised in Kansas City was still relatively small, it was still better than an ordinary monster. If they were forced to kill it temporarily, they could call the team over!
"Pay attention to the teleportation station, send people to the city gates, pay attention to pro players!" New orders began to be transmitted in each guild. The guild leaders were basically consistent in their reaction speed to this matter.
Pro players!
This was a key point. If the other party was forced to kill it, at least they would have to send pro players over. Pro players, pro players…
This point was conveyed to every member of the guild currently in Kansas City. Several guilds quickly replied to the guild: "Pro players? Does Lord Grim count?"
Lord Grim?
I'm going!
Several guild leaders suddenly jumped up. Could it be that the monster being raised here was Happy's?
At the thought of this, the guild leaders actually became excited. All along, Happy had been hitting them again and again, but what about them? It seemed that they had never made a strong counterattack that made Happy feel pain. This time, the opportunity finally came. Was it really Happy who was raising the monster in Kansas City?
