Chapter 431 Gathering and Departure
Chapter 431 Gathering and Departure
The Blood Romance channel was also abuzz, but in a different way.
"Sister Weiwei, is that Lin Tian?"
"Oh my god, my idol!"
"Quick, quick, change your gear! I want to wear that new set!"
"Don't just focus on dressing up, check your skill list first!"
Li Weiwei put away her communicator and raised an eyebrow at Zhang Tianya: "How's it going on your end?"
Zhang Tianya gave a thumbs up: "Awesome! Everyone's waiting to show off their skills."
Li Weiwei smiled and turned to Lin Tian: "Boss Lin Tian, please wait a moment, they will be here soon."
Lin Tian nodded without saying a word.
Celia stood beside him, looking around curiously.
Little White was still wrapped around his arm, its eyes closed as if dozing, its tail occasionally flicking.
Less than ten minutes.
The front yard of the War Alliance guild headquarters was already packed with people.
On the left are the members of the guild, mostly male players, but there are also a few female warriors mixed in.
They weren't standing in perfect order—Zhang Tianya never really cared about such formalities—but everyone's eyes were shining as they stared at Lin Tian.
On the right are the members of Crimson Romance, all female players with excellent equipment, and their positions are much more orderly than those of the War Alliance.
They were also looking at Lin Tian, but their gazes were more subtle, and they only occasionally whispered and discussed among themselves.
Together, there are exactly two hundred people.
One hundred battle alliances, one hundred bloody romances.
Zhang Tianya walked to the front of the alliance's team, glanced around, and frowned slightly: "Where's Zhao Zhiyuan?"
"Present!" A young soldier squeezed out from the back of the line, shouting as he did so, "President, I'm here!"
Zhang Tianya looked at him: "What are you doing squeezing into the back row? Are you afraid of being seen?"
Zhao Zhiyuan scratched his head: "No, I... I went to the bathroom just now, I'm late..."
A low chuckle rippled through the ranks.
Zhang Tianya glared at him: "Return to the team."
Zhao Zhiyuan quickly scrambled into the ranks.
Li Weiwei's side is also counting the number of people.
Her approach was much gentler than Zhang Tianya's; she simply glanced at everyone's faces and then nodded slightly.
"Zhou Ruoyun," she suddenly spoke.
"Here." A tall female mage stepped out from the group, her voice cool and aloof.
Li Weiwei nodded and said, "Back to the team."
Zhou Ruoyun went back.
Zhang Tianya, seeing that the inventory was finished, turned to Lin Tian and grinned, "Boss Lin Tian, everyone's here. One hundred from the Battle Alliance, one hundred from Crimson Romance—all elites from both sides. How's this lineup?"
Lin Tian glanced at the two hundred people.
He didn't speak.
But wherever his gaze fell, the elite members who had been so excited just moments before suddenly fell silent.
The feeling was strange—even though the other person only glanced at them casually, they felt as if they had been seen through completely, inside and out, with nothing to hide.
Zhang Tianya sensed the change in atmosphere, but he didn't pay it any mind. He simply gestured with his chin towards Lin Tian and said, "How about it? Why don't you just pick one and let him show off his skills?"
Lin Tian shook his head.
"No need," he said. "Let's go."
Zhang Tianya chuckled, turned around, and shouted to the Zhanmeng team, "Did you all hear that? Let's go! Destination: Level 35 monster map east of Luoxia City! Keep formation on the way, don't wander off!"
Li Weiwei nodded to the blood-red, romantic group: "Sisters, let's go."
Two hundred people began to move.
The battle alliance was in complete chaos. Some people were putting their arms around each other, some were joking around, and others were arguing about whose equipment had better stats.
It was much quieter over at Blood Romance, with only occasional low laughter.
Zhang Tianya walked at the front of the group, glanced back, and said to Li Weiwei, "Look at yourselves, you're all acting like you're attending a funeral, it's too serious."
Li Weiwei rolled her eyes at him: "It's still better than your side, a bunch of rabble."
Zhang Tianya chuckled: "So what if they're a rabble? As long as they can fight, that's fine."
Lin Tian walked between the two, listening to their bickering, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Celia tugged at his sleeve, curiously looking around.
Little White remained wrapped around his arm, motionless.
Outside the gate of the War Alliance Guild headquarters.
A large crowd had already gathered around.
There were all sorts of people: casual players, members of small guilds, passersby who just wanted to join in, and people who were specifically there to stake out the area.
Their eyes lit up when they saw the two hundred men marching out of the camp in a grand procession.
"Holy crap, what's going on? Are the War Alliance and Crimson Romance launching a joint operation?"
"Two hundred people? They must all be elites! Look at their equipment, it's all top-tier!"
"Aren't those Zhang Tianya and Li Weiwei walking in front? The fact that they're both out together means they're definitely planning something big!"
"Who's that guy over there? Why is he walking in the middle?"
"I don't recognize him... Wait, isn't there a woman in that man's arms?!"
"It's a succubus!"
"A succubus?! Isn't that Lin Tian's pet?"
"Lin Tian?! Boss Lin Tian?!"
The news spread like wildfire through the crowd.
"It really is Lin Tian! I saw him at the teleportation plaza before! He looks exactly like him!"
"How come he's with people from the War Alliance and Crimson Romance?"
"Are you stupid? He, Zhang Tianya, and Li Weiwei are friends. Everyone knows that!"
"Where are they going?"
"Judging by the direction, it's heading east. What's in the east? A level 35 monster map?"
"A level 35 map? Isn't that kind of place child's play for Lin Tian?"
"What do you know? They might be there to train newcomers."
"Mentoring newbies? Two hundred elites are considered newbies?"
"Then what do you want to do?"
"......have no idea."
Several members from other guilds were also mixed in with the crowd.
A scout from the Darkwing guild hid behind the crowd, secretly took a few photos, and then sent a message to the guild leader: "Guild leader, the War Alliance and Crimson Romance have mobilized, about two hundred people, and they've headed east with Lin Tian."
Less than ten seconds later, a message came back: "Follow them and see what they're up to."
The scout swallowed hard and cautiously followed.
The spies of the [Glory] guild are doing the same thing.
Guilds of all sizes, including Ironblood Alliance, Dragon City, and Northern Territory, have sent people to keep an eye on this place.
The news that the War Alliance and Blood Romance mobilized in such a grand manner, and even joined Lin Tian, was truly shocking.
Everyone wanted to know what they were going to do.
Zhang Tianya walked at the front of the group, glanced back, and chuckled softly, "There's a string of tails following behind."
Li Weiwei also turned around and glanced back, her brows furrowing slightly: "Darkwing, Glory, Iron Blood Alliance... they're all here."
Zhang Tianya chuckled: "Let them come. We're just going to grind monsters, it's not a secret."
