After the Star Wind Lord left, Xu Zhilei gathered the exiles from Boulder City in the open space in front of the camp.
Soon, more than a hundred people came to the open space.
Xu Zhilei tried hard to mobilize his emotions and enhance the motivation of his words. He told everyone that the Lord of Star Wind called on them to join his army and attack the rebels in the south of the wild area. If anyone wants to join the war, they can stay here and wait for registration. .
No one responded to him.
People's expressions were indifferent and numb, and soon some people slipped away.
The remaining people saw someone leaving and followed them out.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Zhilei was the only one left.
"Let me just say it," Xu Zhilei thought disheartenedly, "The Lord of Star Wind thinks everything is too simple. How can these people be willing to die after finally escaping?"
Xu Zhilei promised the Lord of Starwind that he would lead the soldiers who had just escaped to attack the rebels marching to the south of the wilderness.
But Xu Zhilei made a request, that is, all participants in the war must be voluntary, and he was unwilling to take these people back to hell with his own hands.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
The Lord of Star Wind was very satisfied with his answer and promised to provide Xu Zhilei with strong help.
But what help can this pedantic Yashan man give him? Xu Zhilei didn't have any expectations for him.
Now, he couldn't even recruit more warriors to fight south with him.
This is a terrible farce.
The open space in front of the camp was empty, and Xu Zhilei sighed.
"Confirm offline."
"System prompt: Leaving the Advent network... Turning off dimensional connection correction..."
After experiencing a more turbulent and even painful offline process than before, Xu Zhilei's consciousness returned to his body sleeping in protective fluid.
He climbed out of the immersion chamber.
The place where Xu Zhilei woke up was the headquarters of the Black Knight Guild and the training base for professional players of the once glorious DK E-Sports Club.
Opposite the president's office, rows of old game equipment and dusty motion control systems are messily placed in the training hall.
That was a holographic gaming device that was widely used before Broken Star became popular, but now it's all scrapped.
There were bursts of noise from the first floor of the training base.
"Tell Xu Zhilei to come out and see me. Why don't you pay the debt? The Black Knight Guild must pay off its debts before going bankrupt!"
Xu Zhilei pulled off the life-support tube on his body, took a hot shower, washed off the sticky protective fluid, and put on simple clothes.
He left the president's office and came to the corridor, preparing to go downstairs.
A haggard-looking vice president rushed out from the nearby office.
"President, you are back. Don't go downstairs! Those debt collectors below are very emotional and may act violently."
"If I don't go downstairs, can this mess be solved?"
The vice president's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he suddenly took a few steps forward, leaned into Xu Zhilei's ear and said, "President, you just came back and I haven't had time to tell you that there is really a way to solve it!"
He paused and continued: "The message from President Lou Feiyu of Huanhai Guild said that with his help, Hongye Capital is willing to invest 2.8 billion to completely acquire the Black Knight Guild."
Xu Zhilei calmly took a step back, distanced himself and said, "Old He, do you think if we accept these 2.8 billion, the guild will still be ours?"
The vice president showed a frank smile: "Hongye Capital has made a guarantee that after the acquisition, the guild will continue to be led by you, and the management will not need to be transferred."
Xu Zhilei said with a cold face: "Have you been in contact with Hongye Capital behind my back?"
The vice-president touched his head sarcastically: "Isn't this for the sake of the guild..."
"Old He, you think things are too simple," Xu Zhilei explained seriously, "After being acquired, we are just dogs of the American people. If we become enemies of the American country on other planets in Broken Star in the future, Hongye Capital will Will you give up and give up?"
"But," the vice president said anxiously, "the guild's cash flow has been cut off, and we have no other way to go!"
"Let me think about it again," Xu Zhilei said in a low voice, "Let me think about it again."
He returned to the president's office, walked to the window, and frowned as he looked at the people on the street who came to collect debts.
The Black Knight Guild has reached a dead end.
In fact, the guild's biggest difficulty currently is the death allowance for the 150,000 players who were massacred in Boulder City.
Although the death allowance for each player varies from a few hundred yuan to several thousand yuan depending on the level and agreement, there are too many people who need to pay compensation.
The compensation costs for more than 100,000 people suddenly soared to hundreds of millions of yuan, and the guild simply did not have such much liquidity.
But what really makes people lose confidence in the Black Knight Guild is the imminent demise of the Wolf Principality.
Jialan, Xiaoyao Sanren, and Black Knight, two of the three guild giants in the Wolf Principality have died!
After the defeat of the Wolf Principality, even if the Black Knight Guild is lucky enough to survive and go to other areas, it will lose its resident city, resource industries, and familiar development environment, and it will inevitably become a third-rate guild.
Faced with the dismal prospects, domestic investors and banks rejected Xu Zhilei's financing request.
Do we really want to accept the acquisition by Hongye Capital?
The Huanhai Group in Xin'an City and its subsidiary Huanhai Guild are wholly owned by American Hongye Capital and have a close relationship with the immersion chamber manufacturer Amber Technology.
Xu Zhilei couldn't stand the way Lou Feiyu nodded and bowed to the Americans, and Lou Feiyu also resented his hostility towards the Americans.
Time passed little by little, and Xu Zhilei made a decision.
"President," Lao He walked into the office and asked with a flattering smile, "Have you thought about it?"
Xu Zhilei sat on the chair and said word by word: "I reject this acquisition."
Lao He suppressed his anger and said tremblingly: "Do you want the Black Knight Guild to be destroyed?"
Xu Zhilei looked at the other party steadily: "Then let it be over. In short, I will never accept Hongye Capital's acquisition."
Lao He was furious. He slapped the table and yelled: "Xu Zhilei, you are a fucking waste! Brothers have been working with you for so long and got nothing. If you give up three billion today, can we still count on you?" What? I’ll tell you clearly, Lou Feiyu has invited me to join Huan Hai a long time ago!”
Old He loosened his collar, took a breath, looked down at Xu Zhilei and continued: "Now that things have happened, there is nothing left for the Black Knight Guild to stay in. I will watch you go to the grave in the office of the Huanhai Guild."
Xu Zhilei shrugged and said easily: "Please do it."
boom!
The vice president slammed the door and left.
After the vice president left, Xu Zhilei felt weak.
Huanhai Guild, Huanhai Guild again, this Lou Feiyu won’t give up until he sees the coffin!
If you reject Hongye Capital’s acquisition, what should you do next?
Xu Zhilei couldn't help but have a headache.
Suddenly, the holographic device in the office received an invitation to connect.
Xu Zhilei originally thought it was some debt collection boss, but he didn't expect it to be Lu Xiao from the Xiaoyao Sanren Guild.
What does he want from me at this juncture?
Xu Zhilei pressed the connect button in confusion.
"Lao Lu, aren't you looking for me just to see my jokes?"
In the holographic image, Lu Xiao was wearing a vest and underpants, with a very relaxed and casual expression and appearance. He was a strong man and said with a smile: "Old Xu! Do you need money very much now?"
Xu Zhilei's face darkened and he said in a low voice, "That's no need to say anything."
"I have 80 million here that I can lend to you, with interest calculated at the average market interest rate. Do you want it?"
Xu Zhilei was startled and said quickly: "Thank you so much. With this money, we can start running. Is this money provided by the Xiaoyao Sanren Guild?"
Lu Xiao said carelessly: "Of course not. You also know that our two guilds have no capital platform and are both in debt. How can Xiaoyao Sanren come up with so much money at once?"
"Then this is?"
"This is help provided by the Lord of Star Wind, and all funds will be allocated by the Star Wind Guild."
Xu Zhilei's eyes widened in surprise and he looked at Lu Xiao without saying a word for a long time.
He never expected that it would be the Lord of Star Wind who extended an olive branch and a helping hand to him at the critical moment!
This is the help he promised!
And it was in a form he had never imagined - he borrowed a huge sum of money from the NPC in the game!
However, this form is definitely better than being acquired by Hongye Capital. It is just a loan and does not interfere with the management and control of the guild at all.
"Okay, Lao Xu," Lu Xiao smiled cheerfully, "clean up the mess in your hands, the Wolf Principality is still waiting for you to come back."
Xu Zhilei said with a serious expression: "Thank you, Lu Xiao, for saying hello to the Lord of Star Wind for me."
Lu Xiao's high-fidelity holographic image gradually disappeared as it flashed.
An electronic loan contract was sent to Xu Zhilei's bracelet.
After Xu Zhilei signed his name, the Black Knight Guild's account instantly received a transfer of 80 million, and the source of the funds was Future Technology Co., Ltd.
A middle-aged lady rushed in without knocking. She was Ms. Liang, the vice president in charge of finance.
Ms. Liang said in surprise: "President, the guild account just received a transfer of 80 million yuan! Did you find this money?"
Xu Zhilei smiled and nodded.
Ms. Liang showed a pleased expression: "That's great. If the guild raises a little more money, it will be able to pay off most of the debt."
Xu Zhilei said: "Yes, although it will take a long time for the guild to regain its strength, we have passed this level."
Ms. Liang showed a hesitant look and asked uneasily: "Lao He just ran to my office and took away all the salary and allowances for the past six months. He said he was going to work in the Huanhai Guild and asked me to go with him... ..”
"You went too?"
Ms. Liang shook her head.
Xu Zhilei laughed: "Everyone has his own ambitions. I believe he will get fair treatment under Lou Feiyu."
"Indeed," Ms. Liang smiled and said, "Then you go ahead and do your work. I'm going back to deal with the debt. You've worked hard during this time, President."
"This is the hardest time for you, so take a good rest after clearing your account."
After Ms. Liang left, Xu Zhilei put away his excitement.
There is no doubt that the Black Knight Guild, like the Xiaoyao Sanren, has become more deeply tied to the Wolf Principality and the Star Wind Lord in this worrying disaster.
This chariot will rush towards enemies from all walks of life without hesitation, and the outcome of this contest will determine the future pattern of the world of Ashan.
After Xu Zhilei gradually calmed down, he publicly released a video of his speech.
"Dear Black Knight Guild players, fans and partner companies, I'm very sorry."
"The chaos in the Black Knight Guild has caused a lot of trouble for everyone during this period."
"The loss of 150,000 legions has brought severe challenges to the Black Knight Guild. We are honored that with the help of our friends, we have taken this difficult step. All players who died in Boulder City will receive immediate response. allowance.”
"The Black Knight Guild has always kept its promise. We will never give up the war in the Wolf Principality, we will never give up our ambition to enter the World Championship, and we will never give up on every Black Knight Guild player."
"So, the guild members who died in Boulder City are welcome to continue to renew their contracts with the Black Knight Guild and participate in the process of preparing for the World Championship."
"Here, what I want to say is that the tragedy in Boulder City was not caused by the Black Knight Guild's command error or man-made fault, nor was it something I, Xu, would like to see. The rebellion of the NPCs caused huge economic damage. This has never happened before in the history of gaming.”
"The Boulder City incident proves that Broken Star has a strong influence on the real world. We must not treat it as the same as ordinary games."
"The Black Knight Guild will show its courage and anger to the enemy. Jones Bourne's betrayal has brought serious disasters to the people of the Wolf Principality and hurt the core interests of the Black Knight Guild. Moreover, Marquis Luke is my friends."
"The remaining members of the Black Knight Guild will launch a full-scale counterattack against the rebels. This will be a battle of revenge."
After posting the video, Xu Zhilei no longer waited, but directly lay down in the immersion chamber and entered the world of Yashan again.
Outside the exile camp in the wilderness, Xu Zhilei slowly woke up.
The noise around him startled him.
Xu Zhilei stood on a hill and looked at the crowd, unable to control his emotions.
These people came in response to his recruitment.
The open space cannot accommodate so many people. In the surrounding mountains and forests, there are warriors who are willing to fight with less and fight more resolutely.
"President!" Liu You ran over from the side and said excitedly, "According to the statistics of the guild, there are now more than 7,800 people willing to participate in our battle south to attack the rebels, and more than 5,000 people are descendants. The remaining two thousand people are barbarian warriors from the North."
It turned out that after Xu Zhilei issued the call for battle, those who arrived first did not refuse to join the battle, but dispersed and went to the camp to inform the news.
After the recruitment news spread throughout the camp, one soldier after another came to the open space in front of the camp, waiting to sign up.
They are all willing to participate in this battle of revenge, forming a smaller assault force to launch a surprise attack from the rear of the 200,000 enemy.
Eight thousand pairs of eyes burning with revenge and anger looked at Xu Zhilei, igniting an even stronger fire in his heart.
...
At the same moment, on the platform in front of the Dragon Knight Fortress in Savage City.
Li Ran, Eureka, Hart and Yin Besi stood together.
The Dragon Knight Fortress is located halfway up the mountain, overlooking the entire Savage City at the foot of the mountain.
In the streets and squares, 40,000 God-chosen warriors gathered and were ready to go.
Commanders at all levels from the military academy, with the enthusiasm to fight for the Star Wind Leader and absolute loyalty to Li Ran, stand in front of every God's Chosen soldier regiment, combat company, and combat team. Young officers Wearing the silver Star Wind Legion standard armor, he paid his attention to the lord who was standing high up.
Hart's blue soul fire danced: "My lord, the skeleton army is ready."
Eureka said in a solemn voice: "Lord Li Ran, the Templar Corps has completed preparations for combat."
Yin Besi lowered her head and said: "Lord, the divinely chosen warriors and regular troops from Black Cliff are at your command at any time."
