Chapter 821: Calming Down Allies

Ouyang Shuo was still a little worried, so he asked, “If they all take out their reserves at the same time, will it affect us?”

Meng Zhida said, “It definitely will have some impact but not much. After a year of development, we have a lot of reserves and do not rely on them anymore.”

“What if hundreds of mid and large-sized guilds remove their reserves at the same time?”

Ouyang Shuo had learned about the influence of Silver Hand. Since they could influence the guilds to stand on their side, they could naturally make them take out their investments.

When Meng Zhida heard that, his face also became solemn, “If that’s the case, we will enter a shaky period. However, if we prepare for it in advance, it will not affect our foundation.”

Ouyang Shuo nodded, finally relaxing, “In the future, the Four Seas Bank will focus on scattered customers. Only by setting our roots deep in the masses can we sit in an unbeatable position.”

“Yes Monarch.”

It was time for the Four Seas Bank to change.

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, “Go prepare for it and take the necessary precautionary measures. I estimate that once the dust settles, they will start to act.”

“Understood, I’ll take my leave.” Meng Zhida turned around and left.

Ouyang Shuo continued to stay in the reading room and waited for the final results of the Satellite City battle. ************ 2nd month, 26th day, 3 PM.

Since the siege started till now, the situation slowly became clearer.

The numerous sacrifices finally awakened the mid and small-sized guilds from their dreams. Looking around, they were left with very few brothers and sisters, sending a chill down their spine.

After the players died, their dropped equipment laid all over the ground.

Many of these items were despawned by Gaia before players could even pick them up.

The only ones still fighting were the guilds in Dali, Jianye, and Xianyang. Even Yimeng Pavilion and Shadow Alliance gave up after paying a heavy price.

At 4 PM, Silver Hand finally faced a setback.

Even under heavy assaults, the Snow-War Rose Mercenary Group in Jianye and Blood Evil Mercenary Group in Xianyang stood tall and did not fall, letting Silver Hand learn of the strength of giants.

Helplessly, Silver Hand could only give up. They had no choice. Even if the guild leaders they controlled were willing to attack, their members did not want to die for nothing.

The guild leaders in the game could not decide the fate of their guild members, especially in Earth Online where the game had an effect on reality.

No one was a fool.

The only one that was barely holding on was Qingfeng Pavilion.

During the first stage, Qingfeng Pavilion had suffered heavy losses and was also betrayed by their allies. The sieging guilds all saw hope, so they grit their teeth and continued to fight.

It seemed like Qingfeng Pavilion was unable to hold on.

When Ouyang Shuo saw that, he had a depressed look. There were many things that were not under his control.

At 6 PM, an Imperial City Notification sounded out.

“Imperial City Notification: Congratulations Xiao Nianying for leading the Xiao Alliance to break through the Satellite City guarded by Qingfeng Pavilion, obtaining the rights to be the guardian. Congratulations.” … The moment the notification sounded out, the world was in an uproar.

The unassuming Xiao Alliance had jumped up and become the greatest dark horse.

At this point, Silver Hand’s goal of breaking apart the Shanhai Alliance-Guild Alliance had basically succeeded.

Only two guilds of the guild alliance had absolute control in the China region.

What about Silver Hand?

They had seven out of nine.

When night fell, the Guardian Guilds were basically set and there were no more accidents. Gaia was extremely efficient, immediately announcing the ruling details and underground world opening rules.

Based on the rules, although the Guardian Guild had the right to own the Satellite City, they could not reject players from entering. As a result, players could freely move in and out of the Satellite City.

However, Gaia would not bother about whether or not they could rent houses or shops. The guardian groups could use this to solidify its relationships with their allies to make themselves undoubted ruler in the imperial city.

The underground tunnel was an actual tunnel set in the central square. As long as one went down the steps, they could enter the mysterious underground world.

The entrance was open to all players and the guardian group had no power to stop players from entering.

This rule by Gaia was to stop the Guardian Guild from forming a monopoly and breaking the balance of the game.

The tunnel was two-sided, so the role of the Guardian Guild was to defend the entrance to prevent monsters from charging into the Satellite City. ************ 2nd month, 27th day, Shanhai City.

After receiving an invite from Ouyang Shuo, Ji Yinghu, Mengyun Tunding, as well as Moon Shines over the River who had been released all gathered in Shanhai City.

After losing the Satellite City, the three were all extremely depressed.

Ouyang Shuo invited the three of them so that he could console them, “If my guess is correct, once the Lord territory becomes a Capital City, it would release something similar to the Satellite City.”

“Really?” Their eyes lit up.

Ouyang Shuo said, “A Capital City is the same grade as the system imperial city, so Gaia cannot be unfair. Shanhai City will reach the two million upper limit and can apply to upgrade soon. If you trust me then relax and bear with it. When Shanhai City becomes a Capital City, you’ll get something. Even if the Capital City does not release a Satellite City, Shanhai City will have the power to directly take down one imperial city.”

When Moon Shines over the River heard that, his eyes shone brighter and brighter.

“That’s right, those despicable people can succeed once, but the wilderness depends on strength. If Shanhai City sends troops to take down Dali Prefecture, we can naturally get the Satellite City back.”

Thinking about that, Moon Shines over the River calmed down. He had never doubted Shanhai City’s ability to take down Dali, and it was just a matter of how much they were willing to sacrifice.

Hope rose up once more in Ji Yinghu and Mengyun Tunding’s heart. They were defeated by Jianqi Zongheng because they were not strong enough, and it had nothing to do with Shanhai City.

On the contrary, without the equipment and support given to them, they would have lost even more badly. They could not ask for anything more from this alliance leader. For him to actually make such promises under such circumstances was truly touching.

Ji Yinghu said, “Rest assured, we can wait. Although the guild is unstable, we can use this chance to clear out inferior members and deadweight.”

His words contained the respect he felt toward Ouyang Shuo.

Mengyun Tunding nodded, and they finally understood what it meant by: true self is revealed in times of crisis. ‘Following such an alliance leader, even if we lose, it is worth it.’

The four of them talked for a while before leaving.

At this point, the relationship between Shanhai City and the three guilds had gotten closer instead. If Ouyang Shuo could fulfil his promise, they would be tied to him. … Since the nine Guardian Guilds had just taken down the Satellite City, they should be extremely busy. The passion and intensity of players faded, and they thought that the wilderness would be calm for a period of time.

Who knew that after just one morning, there would be more waves?

At 2 PM, Tingyu Floor, Streamer, and Laojun Temple all announced together that they had left Shanhai Alliance-Guild Alliance and had joined the Yanhuang Alliance camp.

At the same time, the three guilds would divest their shares in the Four Seas Bank and invest in Huitong Bank instead. Naturally, they would take out the money they stored in the Four Seas Bank as well.

Following which, hundreds of mid and large-sized guilds all took out their funds from the Four Seas Bank.

The moment the news was out, it shocked the entire wilderness.

Players realized that a huge storm was coming.

At this point, the players understood that the Satellite City battles were won by the Yanhuang Alliance.

And this was something that exceeded all their expectations.

Everyone thought that after their loss at Yunnan, with their homes on fire, they would have to keep quiet and lay in silence for a while.

Who knew that their counterattack would be so quick and effective?

“If they had such strength in the guild circle, why did they just act now? Are they stupid?” Smart players saw the unusualness of the current events.

Just as everyone was confused, the Four Seas Bank published an announcement.

The statement declared that the Four Seas Bank was a mature bank and allowed divestments while welcoming new investors. Their actions would not shake the bank as the bank was rooted in the player base. As long as players trusted Shanhai City, the bank would be stable.

Shanhai City, which was about to establish the country, was the strongest shield of the Four Seas Bank.

At the end, the announcement also wished the parties who divested their shares the best of luck, and they hoped that these parties could have great returns and experience great customer service in their new bank.

Even a fool could tell what was hidden behind those words.

A year had passed and the level difference between the two banks was too obvious. Huitong Bank was already confirmed as a bad wolf, and with the help of Black Snake Guards, they would not be able to get rid of that ‘fame’.

A while ago, news broke out that in terms of investment gold, they had double standards for Yanhuang Alliance and non-Yanhuang Alliance members.

That situation nearly landed the Huitong Bank into a crisis.

Now that these guilds had suddenly transferred their money to the Huitong Bank, even a fool could tell that something funny was going on. There were definitely other factors in play, and this was not a normal investment choice.
