So, since he established the guild, he had always adhered to the principle of attaching himself to the big tree.
In simpler terms, it was like being a lapdog for the Kingdom of Bass, and in return, they received the resources and supplies the guild needed to grow.
Although this submissive behavior of theirs was looked down upon by many players and guilds, Zunong didn’t care at all.
Even Goujian was willing to bide his time and endure hardships to seek revenge for his country. Why couldn’t he swallow his pride and live a better life in this world?
Now, they had become the most trusted player guild under Marshal Russell and the most powerful guild in the Kingdom of Bass, far surpassing others in terms of strength.
As long as they continued to grow step by step, they would eventually become the most powerful player guild in the Northern Continent, and perhaps even in the entire world. They would expand their territory in this world, and maybe even establish their own kingdom!
A faint ambition flickered in Zunong’s eyes.
Upon hearing this, his trusted subordinate nodded in understanding.
“It should be just as you said, Chairman. Those native aristocrats are always too proud to get their hands dirty, so they need us to handle some of the things in the shadows.”
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and spoke with a hint of excitement in his voice.
“I heard Marshal Russell say that if we can complete this bounty, assist the Kingdom of Bass in capturing Feiguang City, and eliminate Lienhardt, he will not only grant you an honorary title of glory but also request the king to reward us with a city as our headquarters.”
Zunong’s heart rate quickened slightly.
A city with a spacious land area, complete infrastructure, and strong defenses, all belonging to the native inhabitants, was the reason he was so eager to take on this bounty.
This would be the starting point for him to achieve his ultimate ambition!
This time, he brought so many members and troops all the way here, not only for the bounty but also to prepare for cooperation with the regular army of the Kingdom of Bass in the future.
Thinking of this, his gaze became resolute.
No matter what, that player named Ji Chen must die! No one can stop him from achieving his great ambition!
Soon, the thousand-person team responsible for scouting the highlands returned with a hundred werewolves and twenty players. Faced with Zunong’s suspicion, the leader of this team pointed at them and said.
“Report to the Chairman, we found these players and werewolves on the highlands. They said they came here for the bounty as well. However, their troops have already been taken out by the target of the bounty.”
Zunong looked at the twenty players, their faces filled with unease, and a trace of hostility flashed in his eyes.
These small-time solo players still want to compete with him for the bounty? Are they tired of living or something?
But when he heard the last sentence, he suppressed his displeasure and casually asked.
“Your troops were taken out by a player named Ji Chen?”
Wu Lun wore a pleasing smile on his face as he spoke first, “Yes, but we were just about to leave.”
Zunong glanced at Wu Lun, a hint of disdain in his eyes. “Twenty people were wiped out by one person. It seems your strength isn’t much either.”
Wu Lun’s expression froze, and he could only put on an awkward yet polite smile, nodding repeatedly. “You’re right, we’re nothing special at all. But with someone like you around, that player named Ji Chen won’t be so arrogant anymore.”
On the surface, he appeared cheerful, but inside, he was cursing.
Just a little over ten minutes ago, as he was finally giving up and leading his remaining hundred-man team out of the bounty mission, they suddenly collided with a massive army as soon as they descended from the high ground.
If he hadn’t desperately explained that they were also bounty players, these few remaining werewolf units would probably have been taken down as monsters.
Seeing Wu Lun’s timid and weak appearance, Zunong lost interest and asked dryly, “Since you’ve already clashed with that Ji Chen, how many troops does he have?”
“Uh…” They exchanged glances, looking quite embarrassed, and stuttered, “Ji Chen’s hiding place is shrouded in thick fog, and we have no idea how many troops he has…”
Zunong frowned deeply, showing clear disdain in his eyes.
Indeed, they were a bunch of trash who didn’t even know the enemy’s troop strength.
He lost interest in continuing the conversation and waved his hand dismissively as if shooing away a fly.
“I’ll let all of you witness the strength of our Wasteland Guild. A player who tried to steal a few small advantages will get to witness how I crush him under my foot.”
“Lord, those players have already left… but a much larger army has arrived, with a wide variety of unit types, seemingly the player guild you mentioned.” Ji Chen nodded. “How many troops do they have?”
“There are approximately forty legions of ten thousand, including five legions of heavy cavalry and five legions of aerial units with a thousand people each. We haven’t detected any ocean units yet, but it’s highly unlikely they have any.
There’s also a group of heavy bed crossbows and siege engines behind them,” Alice added.
Forty legions of ten thousand troops.
Ji Chen clicked his tongue, truly acknowledging the power of a guild.
They easily assembled four hundred thousand troops, proving the guild’s formidable organizational strength and demonstrating the concept of strength in numbers, which was common in many online games.
Like many online games, most solo players were no match for guilds. Even if they had elite units, guilds could overwhelm them with relatively less elite forces, thanks to their sheer numbers..
