Assassin's Association.
The Assassin's Association was actually an extremely small guild and, as its name suggests, all of its members were assassin players. Moreover, the number of members that made up the Assassins Association, even at its peak, never exceeded two hundred players. However, even with such a small number of members, all players of virtual reality video games felt chills and their hearts constricted just by hearing the name of the guild.
The reason why all the players were so scared of this small guild was that whenever the members of the Assassin's Association set a target to assassinate, they never missed. No matter if they were important people and powerful guild leaders like Yao Zenyu or Nangong Lei, at the slightest carelessness, a dagger would emerge from the shadows to slit their throats and claim their lives as if it were the scythe of the god of death.
Even Xie Feng himself was almost killed once in the past because he and the temporary group he was part of were surrounded by more than a hundred elite assassins. The only reason Xie Feng managed to escape, other than his own ability, was because he was not the main target.
Xie Feng did not expect that the sexy beauty in front of him was actually the leader of the Assassin's Association, or as many players liked to call them, the Assassin's Hall.
There were many rumors circulating among the players regarding Red Snow; many said that the reason why she always covered her face was because she actually had a terrifying scorch, but this rumor was disproved when the Ranking of Beautiful Women appeared because Red Snow was proudly ranked 9th. The 9th place may not seem like much, but when you consider that she was considered the 9th most beautiful woman in all of China and factor in the fact that China had almost 2 billion people, Red Snow's beauty and sensuality was self-explanatory.
However, there was yet another rumor among the players about Red Snow.
This rumor was that in reality, Red Snow was a real assassin in the real world and that was the reason why she was so talented. In addition, the fact that Red Snow always played the assassin class in all previous virtual reality video games further fueled this rumor.
The only thing that was known about her was that at least 50% of her blood was foreign. The beautiful blonde hair color falling on Red Snow's back was the living proof; after all, except for an extremely special case like Yao Mei who was compromised by her power of fire control, Chinese people had dark colored hair.
After being introduced, Red Snow looked at Xie Feng curiously for a moment since she had also seen the war in which he fought alone against an army of ten thousand players. After a few seconds of silence, she simply nodded towards him in greeting and said nothing.
"Well, now that we all know each other, how about we start forming a plan? After all, we don't know when the monster attack on the city will start" Yao Zenyu said, to which everyone agreed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing everyone nod, Yao Zenyu pulled out the gold-grade sword from his waist and began to draw on the ground with the tip of the weapon. The drawing was extremely simple and easy to understand; a large rectangle with some points marked inside, then Yao Zenyu drew a letter N at the top, an S at the bottom, an E on the right side, and a W on the left side.
Each acronym stood for North, South, East, and West respectively.
"The big box is the city walls, the points marked inside are the NPCs of major importance, that is, those NPCs that we should definitely protect at all costs. As for each acronym, I guess there's no need to explain." Yao Zenyu pointed his sword at each place and patiently explained.
After everyone understood the basics, Yao Zenyu looked at Xie Feng and continued, "While we were on our way here, we had already discussed about the forces that each guild could mobilize. My God of Heaven guild managed to summon 1.5 million players during the previous hour, unfortunately, that's all we can do until the Alliance System officially starts as it's difficult to gather all the guild players scattered all over the place."
When Yao Zenyu said that he could gather 1.5 million players in an hour, although he said it calmly, Xie Feng noticed the pride in his voice and also a trace of provocation towards him. Regarding this, Xie Feng simply ignored it completely. He could not be bothered with childish games. What was the pride in using the strength of others? Although having the power to command was also a kind of strength, Xie Feng preferred to rely on his two fists rather than other people's fists.
"My Sacred Wings guild merged with my brother Nangong Chen's Iron Wall guild, the number of players I was able to gather during the past hour was about 2 million." Nangong Lei, who had been silent, coldly presented his forces.
Xie Feng was not surprised by the fact that both guilds under the control of the Nangong Family were merged into one. After all, Nangong Chen was turned into living trash by him, so there was nothing to do about it.
"Unfortunately, my Deep Heart is not as strong as Young Master Yao and Young Master Nangong's guilds, I only managed to gather 800,000 female players." Mu Wuying's mature but at the same time gentle voice continued the conversation.
"Don't be so modest, Wuying. Managing to gather 800,000 members in such a short time without having a guild channel is an incredible feat." Yao Zenyu looked at Mu Wuying and smiled bitterly. "Besides, will you still continue to call me like that?"
Mu Wuying neither answered nor looked at him. She began to play with her beautiful nails silently as if her nails were more entertaining than Yao Zenyu.
Mu Wuying was probably one of the extremely few women in the entire world who had the mind to ignore, reject and not care about Yao Zenyu's tireless courtship. After all, considering Yao Zenyu's status, appearance, and the personality he showed to the whole world, the number of women who dreamed of entering into his bed were countless.
"*Cough*..." The cult-like man with the silver staff, One Man Army coughed to lighten the somewhat awkward moment and continued, "My guild Stardust can cooperate with 300,000 players."
"The Golden Era guild can cooperate with another 300,000 players." Unsurpassed Defense, who had a large shield behind his back, said calmly. He seemed to be a man of few words.
"One hundred and fifty players." Red Snow said only a few words and was silent again. The difference in numbers was simply too great, so even though they already expected it, everyone couldn't help but silently smirk.
What they needed now, besides personal strength, was numerical strength!
What Xie Feng did not expect was that the voice of the woman who cold-bloodedly slaughtered hundreds and even thousands of players every time she made a public appearance actually did not sound at all cruel as he expected. On the contrary, Red Snow's voice would sound very friendly if it weren't for the fact of the coldness contained in her temperament.
Yao Zenyu looked at Xie Feng and, although he already knew, still asked, "What about your side?"
Xie Feng looked at Yao Zenyu as if he was an idiot. He looked behind his back and after a moment looked back at Yao Zenyu.
"Including me, 6 players. Not bad, no?" Xie Feng said arrogantly.
...
Everyone was silent and had different reactions towards Xie Feng's words.
Mu Wuying turned her face to the side and covered her mouth, however, anyone could see her shoulders shaking slightly. She was clearly struggling to hold back the urge to laugh.
One Man Army and Unsurpassed Defense looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Although they had somehow expected it, Shiva was really playing solo.
Red Snow had no apparent reaction. She only observed the five people behind Xie Feng for a moment before losing interest and looking away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFinally, after several seconds of silence, Yao Zenyu sighed and shook his head, "Forget it, there shouldn't be a problem."
After the strange atmosphere formed by Xie Feng's words returned to normal, Yao Zenyu finished:
"My God of Heaven guild will defend the north gate of the city, young master Nangong's Sacred Wings guild will be in charge of the security of the west gate. These two are the most difficult gates to defend if we consider the map of Adastreia Continent."
Yao Zenyu looked at Mu Wuying, One Man Army, and Unsurpassed Defense.
"Wuying, two gentlemen, you can take care of the east gate, right?"
"""No problem."""
The three nodded. With the strength of the three guilds united, the total number of players would be 1.4 million. They should be fine.
"Okay, Shiva and Red Snow's group are clearly too small. They will have to join the rest of the players participating in the event and defend the South Gate. The South Gate is the least likely to be attacked as the water monsters are unlikely to make big moves."
