81: Chapter 81 The Prelude to the WarKalis Empire, Baron Epe’s Territory.

In a conference room capable of holding dozens of people, the guild masters and executives of the four major guilds, excluding the Demonic Cult Guild, gathered together—this was the 25th hour after the deaths of Allen, Yukina, and Zeus.

The four guild masters all wore grave expressions, except for Mecca, whose expression was slightly more relaxed: he had thought he was the only unlucky person to fall into the abyss of hell, only to find that the companions who had abandoned him to ”happily ride the heaven train” had all fallen into hell as well.

”Allen, when I asked for your help back then, you stood by and did nothing, and now retribution has come, hasn’t it? But thanks to Fu Hao, I have finally shaken off the position of eternal second place. Shouldn’t I congratulate you? Hahahaha!”

Mecca, who had resurrected first and barely managed to scrape together spare equipment, was currently taunting Allen with sarcasm.

”Mecca, is now the time for infighting?” Before Allen could speak, Yukina retorted.

”Otherwise what? Do you have the ability to take revenge on Fu Hao? Don’t tell me you really think that by relying on the pressure of public opinion, he will return the equipment?”

”The pressure is definitely useful; today is his first time stopping the broadcast without a reason. Besides, we don’t want the equipment for free; we are willing to pay the corresponding price...”

”The price for legendary equipment? Do you not know how much Fu Hao can spend? Besides, he has already equipped the crimson flame katana.”

”You guy...” Yukina slammed the table and stood up, but was stopped by Allen with a wave of his hand.

”I don’t know if we can get the equipment back, but I have a method for direct revenge. It’s not an indirect method like public opinion manipulation, but taking action directly.”

”Really?” ”What method?” ”Is that why you gathered us?”

The word ”revenge” made everyone’s eyes light up. The Five Great Guilds, having lost all face because of Fu Hao, would likely suffer from eternal psychological trauma if they did not retaliate.

Just then, Tianma walked into the conference room with members of the Demonic Cult Guild.

”Everyone is here, I see.”

Seeing Tianma, Mecca immediately lunged forward: ”Return my equipment! You bastard!”

Tianma looked at Allen: ”Should I leave?”

Under Tianma’s threat, Allen shook his head. Although he also loathed this guy who was the only one to profit, he could not give up his power.

”Mecca, settle your personal business later.”

”Personal business? Stop talking nonsense! Try having your equipment stolen and see how you feel!”

Putting himself in his shoes, Mecca’s anger was not unreasonable. Allen decided to resolve the internal conflict first:

”Tianma, do you not intend to return Mecca’s equipment? You can’t use most of that equipment, right?”

Tianma held up three fingers: ”Three items. I can return three items he wants.”

Of the 8 items he obtained from Fu Hao, only 3 were truly vital to Mecca. And Tianma had never intended to completely offend Mecca from the start; he had already transferred the key Marionette Gloves to an ordinary player to prevent Mecca from returning to the top ten and threatening his own position.

An alliance was fine, but the leading role had to remain in his own hands.

”You f***ing using my stuff to negotiate?” Mecca roared.

Allen interrupted the raging Mecca: ”Calm down. If you keep making a scene, you won’t get a single item back.”

Zeus and Yukina also chimed in, and Mecca finally compromised, taking back three non-core items. Just as Tianma had expected, this did not include the ”Moon Earrings.”

After everyone was seated, Allen finally got to the point: ”A civil war is about to break out in the Rowen Kingdom, and the Second Prince has requested aid from the Empire.”

”Rowen Kingdom? Isn’t that Fu Hao’s territory?” The sharp ones had already guessed the direction.

”Everyone knows that I am under the command of Marquis Schumer, right? A week ago, I received a request from the Marquis to participate in the war. I originally intended to refuse before the deadline; after all, accepting the mission means giving up all ongoing affairs.”

Allen paused, his eyes sinister, ”But now I have changed my mind. According to investigations, Fu Hao and the Rowen Second Prince are already in a hostile relationship. Accepting the mission gives us a chance to fight Fu Hao. If we miss this opportunity, we will have no chance for revenge.”

Everyone was silent. Fu Hao’s growth rate was evident to all; if left to develop, there would be even less chance of winning in the future.

”Even if Fu Hao returns the equipment, I will still participate in the war. I cannot tolerate this humiliation. The more people who participate, the better, and the mission can be shared. I propose that all members of the Five Great Guilds participate. What do you think?”

The first to respond was still Mecca: ”The Machine Empire will participate! I want to watch with my own eyes that bastard being driven out of the Rowen Kingdom and falling into despair!”

After brief discussions with their guild executives, Zeus and Tianma also agreed to participate: ”The Roma Guild joins.” ”The Demonic Cult Guild will certainly participate; we have to play something exciting.”

Finally, only Yukina’s ”Thunder Blade Guild” remained. She did not want to be enemies with Fu Hao again; his unfathomable potential was terrifying. But if the Five Great Guilds were to participate and she was the only one absent, the Thunder Blade Guild would likely be isolated.

After weighing the options, she gritted her teeth: ”Thunder Blade... will also participate.”

When the members of the Five Great Guilds accepted the ”Rowen Kingdom War Mission,” Fu Hao was still sleeping while his broadcast was offline. And the debate about him in the community was intensifying.

”Internet reporters” who focused on game events scrambled to discuss this matter for traffic, and public opinion quickly polarized:

- Fu Hao’s character is really trash. - LMAO, if it were you, would you return it? - He’s the kind of guy who spends millions every day. - Who would dare to team up with him in the future? - To be honest, this is too fresh; it’s hard to draw a conclusion directly. - The streamer only cares about heat. - The keyboard warriors are all silent. - Take care of your own character first. - It’s still not too late to return it now.

Speaking of the event itself, it was just a common game dispute. But involving ”Fu Hao” and the ”Five Great Guilds,” coupled with the guilds’ deliberate manipulation of public opinion, the attention soared exponentially.

The internet has never lacked jealousy and blind obedience, especially towards an existence like Fu Hao who ”became popular in a short time.” The jealous took the opportunity to vent their emotions, while the Five Great Guilds fanned the flames, intensifying the conflict to a higher level.

However, on the second day of the event’s fermentation, a post completely reversed the trend—

Title: The True Face of the Five Great Guilds Author: Guild Master Jari Hello everyone, I am Guild Master Jari of the ”Wind Guild.” Recently, there has been much controversy regarding Fu Hao and the Five Great Guilds, and I would like to share a personal experience of mine. Half a year ago, when our guild was hunting at Marev Lake in the Kalis Empire, we discovered a Hero Dungeon. At that time, out of 14 members, 3 entered the dungeon, and 11 were on standby outside. Unexpectedly, members of the ”Machine Empire,” one of the Five Great Guilds, witnessed this and actually gathered their companions to threaten the 11 people outside: ”If you don’t give up the dungeon, we will kill you all, and you won’t be able to grind at Marev Lake in the future either.” Although it was a PK zone outside the dungeon and they had the right to attack waiting players, using this as a threat to force players who had already entered to give up was truly excessive. At the time, we were completing the ”Marev Lake unique monster mass killing mission,” which had been going on for over a week, and the Machine Empire’s threat left us in a dilemma. In the end, the three people inside the dungeon were forced to give up and commit suicide. But the real tragedy came later; after confirming we had given up the dungeon, members of the Machine Empire actually launched a sneak attack on the remaining 11 people to snatch equipment. Completely unprepared, we were killed unjustly just like that. At the time, I posted on the community to expose this, but the comments were all ”snatching normal dungeons is normal,” and the post quickly sank. (Attached: Recording video from that time) Later, I discovered that the bullying behavior of the Five Great Guilds went far beyond this. Perhaps some may wonder: You were bullied by the Machine Empire half a year ago, what does that have to do with Fu Hao, who has only been playing for two months, not returning equipment? It wasn’t until yesterday that I learned that a member of our guild is a real-life friend of Fu Hao and had told him about the evil deeds of the Five Great Guilds half a year ago. (Attached: Video of this member and Fu Hao together) When Fu Hao was clearing the legendary dungeon, he had cooperated with the Five Great Guilds, which shows that he did not loathe them without reason. Even if he had dissatisfaction, he alone had no power to resist. But after getting the equipment, he must have thought: Why should I return it to these scumbags? Although I haven’t asked Fu Hao directly, I think: Would someone who spends millions every day and even let go of Mecca’s equipment refuse to return equipment out of greed? What do you all think?

Guild Master Jari’s long post instantly hit the hot list, and players who had been oppressed by the Five Great Guilds rushed to bump up old posts. Community public opinion quickly turned from ”denouncing Fu Hao” to ”exposing the dark history of the guilds.”

After reading the post, Qin Zhe stuck out his tongue: ”Guild Master uncle’s writing is too good, did he write it?”

”You didn’t know? He posted last time too.”

”At that time, I was just angry thinking about that matter, so I didn’t read it carefully, and the post sank quickly.”

”Anyway, thanks to me this time, right? I made it public that I know you, and I’ve been pestered by guild members every day; they are even clamoring to see you now.”

Chaos looked at Qin Zhe proudly through the phone, her cute appearance making him freeze for a moment.

”What are you spacing out for?”

”No, nothing... Speaking of which, do the members really want to see me?”

”Yeah, they all say they must see you.”

In fact, Qin Zhe also wanted to reunite with the guild members, but he was conflicted about whether to reveal his identity.

”Let’s keep it a secret for now; if it leaks, it will be troublesome.”

”That’s true, Shana that big mouth, if she found out, she would definitely spread it to the whole server in a second. Last time we did a raid, she is still talking about how you missed your skills three times in a row.”

”...Looks like I need to have a talk with Shana.”

”Then let’s set a time.”

”Okay, when I stop broadcasting one day, I will use a teleportation gem to come find you.”

Although he felt guilty about hiding his identity, at this moment, Qin Zhe’s desire to see them was even stronger.
