Chapter 215 Final Preparations Before Getting Started
Everyone crowded around, heads close together, carefully examining the map, whispering among themselves, their eyes growing brighter with each glance.
This place is both rugged and resource-rich; it's practically the perfect newbie village... no, the perfect guild headquarters, tailor-made for our guild by the system!
"Alright! Looks like no one's got anything to say. So, our War Alliance's headquarters will be in Crimson Flame Valley!" Seeing no one object, Zhang Tianya waved his hand, officially making the decision. "The location's settled. Now, everyone get moving!"
He began assigning tasks, his voice firm and decisive:
"First, recruit! Take a few people with good speaking skills and write me a recruitment notice that will get people excited and eager to join the team immediately!"
Let's smash our alliance's reputation for fighting to the death in the Scourge and cooperating with Boss Lin Tian to ultimately defend Sunset City!
Then, subtly and casually let the word out that our guild leader, me, has a life-or-death friendship with Boss Lin Tian, and that the fact that he gave us the guild establishment token is the best proof of that!
No matter what method you use, get them... I mean, attract them! I'm not afraid of a lot of people, I'm just afraid you don't have the ability!
"Second, stockpile! 'Logistics Old Wang,' you're in charge! Take your logistics team and go on a shopping spree!"
Healing potions and mana potions, as many as you want!
Arrows and crossbow bolts were provided for the archers!
I'll take as many magic crystals as you can for repairing equipment!
And don't skimp on the stones, timber, and nails needed for building the walls and repairing the houses! I'm going to turn Crimson Flame Valley into an impenetrable fortress!
At the command, the entire alliance awoke like a sleeping behemoth and sprang into action.
The city of Luoxia was instantly flooded with recruitment information from the War Alliance.
The bulletin board was covered with impassioned announcements, and the guild's "internet trolls" were constantly shouting in the world chat.
"The first player guild", "A treasure trove of resources", "Close relationship with the legendary player Lin Tian"...
These keywords seem to have a magical power, making countless independent experts and small and medium-sized teams feel an itch to try them out.
The guild's temporary registration point, located in the city's central square, was almost overwhelmed by the surging crowd, and the players in charge of registration lost their voices from shouting.
On the other hand, the hoarding of supplies was carried out on a massive scale.
Cartloads of potions, bundles of arrows, shimmering repair crystals, and mountains of building materials flowed continuously from the auction house and various suppliers, then were escorted by members of the War Alliance, forming a long convoy that headed towards Crimson Flame Valley.
This time, Zhang Tianya went all out, practically emptying the guild's coffers accumulated over the years. He spent gold coins like water, and even signed numerous credit purchase agreements with several well-connected big merchants, displaying the attitude of a gambler who was determined to go all out.
Just as they were busy to the point of exhaustion, a fragrant breeze wafted in, breaking the stench of sweat and steel from the temporary headquarters of the War Alliance (which was actually just a large courtyard with a shed).
Li Weiwei arrived with a group of stunningly beautiful girls from the Crimson Romance Guild, and their appearance instantly attracted the attention of all the male creatures.
"President Zhang, I heard that the War Alliance is about to establish an everlasting foundation, so I've come to offer my congratulations." Li Weiwei said with a smile, her voice soft yet powerful. Several girls behind her carried up several large boxes.
"This is a small token of our Blood Romance's appreciation: five hundred sets of high-grade healing potions and three hundred sets of high-grade mana potions. We wish our guild a resounding victory and the successful establishment of the number one guild on the continent!"
Looking at the several large boxes of valuable medicines, a hint of emotion flashed in Zhang Tianya's tiger-like eyes. He clasped his hands in a fist salute, his voice becoming much more solemn:
"President Li! I, Lao Zhang, and hundreds of brothers in our alliance will remember this kindness! Enough with the formalities, from now on, anything related to Blood Romance will be our alliance's business!"
After seeing Li Weiwei and her group off, Zhang Tianya looked at the mountain of supplies piled up in the courtyard and the bustling crowd of people coming to register outside. He took a deep breath, feeling a surge of pride in his chest, but also a heavy weight on his shoulders.
The entire guild, from the guild leader to the new members, is working tirelessly towards a common goal—to build the first player guild on the 9527th newbie continent.
Crimson Flame Valley, a remote valley that used to be filled only with the roar of monsters and the sound of the wind, is about to undergo a huge turning point in its fate, becoming bustling with activity and fluttering battle flags.
But everyone knows that the toughest challenges and the most severe tests are yet to come.
That is, after using that [Guild Creation Token], the system will not hesitate to launch a monster siege.
That is the true test of a battle alliance's strength, a matter of life and death.
......
In Crimson Flame Valley, the members of the War Alliance have completely settled in.
The area at the mouth of the valley had become a huge construction site, with constant clanging and banging noises.
Relying on their strength, the soldiers, shirtless and chanting slogans, rammed sharpened logs into the ground to make makeshift chevaux-de-frise.
The thieves, on the other hand, dug holes in the ground and buried traps that would explode if stepped on.
The mages weren't idle either. Although they weren't doing any heavy work, they were all making the most of their time to meditate and replenish their mana, and checking their staves and scrolls, since there might be a tough battle ahead.
Zhang Tianya, hands on his hips, paced back and forth at the valley entrance like a foreman, occasionally shouting:
"Over there! Drive the barricades deeper! Don't let them collapse when the monster charges!"
"Trap! Make sure the trap is well disguised! Do you think those monsters are blind?"
"Logistics team! Have you distributed the medicine yet? Don't come back halfway through the fight saying you're out of medicine!"
He appeared calm on the outside, but inside he was as nervous as if he had a rabbit in his hand.
The establishment order is something everyone uses for the first time—like a young woman getting married.
How many monsters will come? What kind of monsters will they be? How strong will they be? All of these are unknowns.
But he can't panic. He's the backbone. If he panics, his subordinates will be thrown into chaos.
"Boss, everything has been checked. The fortifications at the valley entrance are basically complete, and more than thirty traps have been laid. The brothers' medicines and arrows have all been replenished." The deputy walked over and reported in a low voice. He also looked tired, but his eyes were still calm.
"Hmm." Zhang Tianya snorted, his gaze sweeping over his brothers who were busy but whose eyes revealed excitement and tension, before looking up at the sky. "It's about time."
He took a deep breath, a breath carrying the scent of earth and vegetation from the valley, and a hint of resolute determination. Success or failure hinged on this!
