“Professionals?” Sanguine Warflag replied in disbelief, “No way… Who could be so bored in the ring of professionals?”
“Sanguine Wolf!” Fearless stared at Sanguine Warflag as he replied.
“Ah?” Sanguine Warflag was slightly taken aback, “So it’s him… I really didn’t think he would be so bored.”
Looking at how calm Sanguine Warflag was, Fearless asked, “How? Sanguine Wolf is a member of your Sanguine Squad. Shouldn’t Boss Warflag give us an explanation?”
Sanguine Warflag looked distressed as he responded, “He is no longer part of us.”
“Oh? What happened?” Hearing Sanguine Warflag’s answer, Fearless wasn’t surprised. Instead, he was more curious.
“Sigh…” Sanguine Warflag sighed as he replied, “To be honest, the reality of my Sanguine Squad no longer lives up to the name. One month ago, our contract players all transferred to other guilds.”
Transfer of players in the competitive ring of professionals happened more often than not. Nobody would be contented with falling behind. Some want a higher salary while some want to win the championship. Either way, there were all sorts of reasons for players to transfer from one guild to another.
Even though Sanguine Squad was a renowned large guild, they were still lacking in terms of the salary they offered to pay for the competitive players as compared to other peak grade guilds. Therefore, it wasn’t surprising to see the transfer of players, especially for a top expert like Sanguine Rain. There were definitely a number of guilds trying to poach him over. This was a common occurrence.
Of course, for so many contract players to leave the Sanguine Squad at one go, something big must have happened with the alliance. Otherwise, this would not have happened.
The current Sanguine Squad would definitely have suffered a loss in morale and energy. Otherwise, an old name like the Sanguine Alliance wouldn’t be desperate to the extent that they needed to find others to help him with a competition.
Fearless and Wang Yu were only interested in Sanguine Wolf and co. so they couldn’t be too bothered about Sanguine Alliance’s family matters. After hearing Sanguine Warflag mentioned that Sanguine Wolf transferred, Wang Yu simply asked, “Which guild did he go to?”
“Void Blade!” Sanguine Warflag replied.
“Void Blade?” Wang Yu couldn’t help but repeat the name.
A surprised Fearless looked at Wang Yu as he asked, “Why? Do you know them?”
Wang Yu shook his head as he replied, “I don’t know but I just think that their name is pretty arrogant! What kind of guild is that?”
“I have no idea…” Fearless shook his head. Even after so many years of gaming experience, Fearless had never heard of such a guild.
However, Fearless was certain that this was not a well-known guild because a well-known guild’s name would be in gold. It was a kind of recognition for talented groups of people. Only stray players like Hidden Lurker would be an exception to such privilege.
However, this guild forced Sanguine Alliance to the corner before ambushing Quan Zhen Sect. Evidently, they were a bunch of unsettled fellas.
“Boss Warflag, do you know what they’re doing?” Fearless asked Sanguine Warflag.
Sanguine Warflag shook his head as he mumbled to himself, “I’ve met their leader and his ID is also new. However, I’m certain that they’re not lacking in money!”
To be able to poach four top experts from a well-known guild like Sanguine Alliance, this Void Blade must be overflowing with money.
“Since they are not lacking in money, why are they trying to snatch our items?” Wang Yu asked inquisitively.
Even though Quan Zhen Sect loved ruining things, they had no enmity with Void Blade in the past. There was simply no reason for Void Blade to offend them.
“Tsk!” Fearless grunted coldly, “They may not be lacking in money but they are lacking in reputation and talent!”
It wasn’t hard to tell what Void Blade was trying to do when they poached people from the Sanguine Squad with the money they had. Their intention was to create a powerful squad.
However, money alone wouldn’t be enough to create a powerful squad. After all, many top experts wouldn’t be lacking in that bit of money too. As compared to money, they would be thirstier for results.
A small unknown guild was definitely unable to attract a large number of talents. They could only spend money to recruit players like Sanguine Wolf, who fell short of the best but was still better than the worst, and could use the money for his retirement. They could also attract players like Sanguine Rain who had capabilities but was too proud to accept the low and wanted a change in environment.
Therefore, in order to attract more talents, they needed to spread their name. They wanted to make themselves known to their opponents that their squad had a chance to win the championship.
Even so, many years of experience was required for a newly established guild to become respected. For a new guild to become famous in one move, money was simply not enough.
Sanguine Alliance was undoubtedly a large guild. Even though Void Blade poached some top players from Sanguine Alliance, their foundations were still there. It wouldn’t be wise for them to offend tens of thousands of players. If they really got into a conflict, Void Blade would be wiped out even before they know it when faced against a guild with so many players in it.
Quan Zhen Sect was different. Their entire guild consisted of slightly more than ten people and their reputation was abnormally insane. It wasn’t limited only to Twilight City but throughout the entire forum as well.
How impressive could a guild with slightly more than ten people be? At the very most, every one of them was an elite but could they possibly match the vast number of professional experts poached by Void Blade?
Because of this, Void Blade was hoping to treat Quan Zhen Sect as a stepping stone.
“No wonder! But nobody knew that they killed us.” Wang Yu said.
Fearless laughed, “It will not be surprising that they will be showing off to the entire world very soon!”
“Isn’t this too shameless…” Wang Yu was speechless. He understood that people could kill each other in the game but showing off after killing someone was simply too childish in Wang Yu’s eyes.
Indeed, less than half a minute after the two of them ended their conversation, a public announcement was heard.
Big Bear Deng Deng An: Everyone from the Quan Zhen Sect listen up. From today onwards, we will beat you every time we see you in Twilight City! Treat this as proof!
This Big Bear Deng Deng An fella was really not lacking in money. the cost for one loudspeaker was ten gold yet he used it several times. The magnificent loudspeaker effects blocked all the players’ vision.
“It was really them. This fella called Big Bear Deng Deng An is Void Blade’s deputy leader. Their leader’s name is called “Captain Don’t Open Fire”.” After Sanguine Warflag saw the announcement, he told Fearless.
“F*ck…” Fearless and Wang Yu’s faces were beyond astonished. What kind of stupid names…
At this moment, emotions were boiling up within all the players from Twilight City.
“F*ck! Who is this Big Bear Deng Deng An? To think he is so arrogant? To think he dared to provoke and challenge the Quan Zhen Sect? Did he forget about what happened to Sanguine Alliance?”
“I know this Big Bear. I think he is the deputy leader of Void Blade. This guild is a small guild so how did they end up going against Quan Zhen Sect?”
“I’ve heard that their leader is extremely affluent who recently established a combat squad. He even managed to sign quite a number of professionals,” an informant explained.
“Professional experts? No way… They’re even meddling with this?”
