The news of the World Contest was on fire, whether in Asia, Europe, or Africa. Everyone was talking about the World Contest. Even somehow, the beast kingdom and the human force ceased fire. Heroes Land stopped the war against the beast kingdom in the north of Europe. Even the beast kingdom in eastern Europe also initiated to a cease-fire with the human force.As for Africa, the situation there was a bit complicated. The force in Africa reached a stalemate. Actually, the human force there had cornered the beast kingdom. The problem was the guilds were watching each other, afraid being backstabbed by own allies.
As for America, it was unknown. Every guild in each region had their problem needed to be solved. So they did not have time to send a team to investigate America. Moreover, earlier many guilds sent their team but encountered a big problem. So until now, no guild attempted to find out what happened in America.
As for Asia, every guild in Asia was watching Happy Guild. Especially Eternal Shogunate, Dragon Dynasty, and Warlord.
Eternal Shogunate felt there was something fishy with the action of Happy Guild lately. They put their men in Happy Guild territories to watch Happy Guild movement. They had to be cautious as basically, they had offended Happy Guild with their beforehand action.
As for Dragon Dynasty, they had thoroughly offended Happy Guild because of Long Family action. Even though from Randy"s mouth that he would overlook the past matter, but they still had their guard on Happy Guild. Especially Long Family, Happy Guild held the two important people of their family member. While watching the Happy Guild movement, Long Family also wanted to inquire about the current situation of Long Hanyu and Long Zhemin.
Warlord the one with full alert. Happy Guild action which extinguished Ravendawn Empire and the six medium guilds but spared them. This was something fishy, Warlord had to keep on watch at Happy Guild.
They put their spies at every territory of Happy Guild. They afraid missed a single tiny of Happy Guild movement which could lead to their demise. Warlord sent their men to every territory of Happy Guild.
However, all of their action bore no fruit. They did not find something fishy at Happy Guild movement. Now, Happy Guild was busy reconstructing the territories they just got from extinguished Ravendawn Empire and the six medium guilds.
But there was something which puzzled Warlord, the force Happy Guild used in the war against the alliance of 12 guilds vanished. Yes, it was the same as if these forces did not exist at all. From the spies mouth, they could not find these forces in Happy Guild territories, then where were they?
Even though that force only less than five million, but it considered a ma.s.sive force. Moreover, such a ma.s.sive force, but they could not detect these forces movement at all.
At first, Subas Banstola was restless and panicking. a bit after noticing the disappeared these forces. He immediately sent his men to investigate the surrounding territories of Warlord. He afraid Happy Guild secretly moved these forces to besieged Warlord. However, later he found everything was okay.
His men did not find any force in their surrounding. Like this, one week pa.s.sed, Subas found it was just a false alarm. Of course, he became overcautious was not because of without reason. The reason was very clear, he was afraid of Happy Guild.
Despite not finding any suspicious movement in the surrounding territory, Subas still built many secret sentries around. Moreover, he did not let his guard down and vigorously sent his men to keep on the watch of Happy Guild movement.
Happy Guild itself calmed, but if you were the permanent resident of Happy Guild territories. One would find something different, the patrol. Evergreen City for example, if one was an old residence, one would find every patrol guard was a new face.
The old patrol guard completely changed. Most of the new patrol guard came from Happy Academy. Of course, only the old resident who aware of this. As for the spies sent by the other guilds, they certainly did not realize this.
If the other guilds knew about this. Maybe they could guess what Happy Guild did right now. Yes, Happy Guild was building a ma.s.sive bloodline army secretly.
Before, Randy decided to choose the people to enter the Bloodline Army carefully. However, now, after the war against the alliance of 12 guilds, Randy made a decision to increase the bloodline army ma.s.sively.
Not only Happy Guild and Garuda guild members, but Randy also chose the people from every branch of Happy Guild. There was no special requirement to enter the bloodline army, but there was a condition, Loyal.
That was why Happy Guild changed the old patrol guard to the new graduated of Happy Academy students. The older guild member had proved their loyalty to Happy Guild and they were chosen to enter the Bloodline army.
But of course, Randy did not force his people to enter the bloodline army. Even though the treatment of the bloodline army was much better than the normal Happy Guild force. However, the risk of Bloodline Army must face also huge.
Bloodline Army shouldered a big duty as the Happy Guild main force. They would become the vanguard of Happy Guild.
Happy Guild member could reject to enter the bloodline as their lives at stakes. Even though it was not a little guild member rejected to enter Bloodline army, but most of the older guild member decided to join. Not only they could get a bloodline for free, but the treatment that was given to them much better.
As for why suddenly Randy decided to build a ma.s.sive Bloodline Army, it was because of the attack of alliance 12 guilds. It was fortunate that only 12 guilds, but what happened if Asia decided to go against Happy Guild. 2 million bloodline armies were simply not enough.
For now, indeed Happy Guild had a good relation with New Korea, Black Flame, Radiance, and other bug guilds. But what happened if these guilds suddenly turned against Happy Guild? What happened when these guilds united with the guilds in Europe to face Happy Guild?
Even the possibility this to happen was small but it was not completely impossible. Dragon Dynasty and Eternal Shogunate for example. Even though the relation of these two guilds and Happy Guild was not close, but it was not bad either.
Because of Long Xinya, Happy Guild and Dragon Dynasty had not a little cooperation between them. The same for Eternal Shogunate. However, these guilds, in one night turned against Happy Guild with no clear reason.
Long Family did not hesitate to kill him rather than negotiation with him in the case of Aveline a.s.sa.s.sination. Maybe if it was another guild, the negotiation was impossible but it was different when it came to Long Family, because of Long Xinya.
At that time Long Xinya became the middleman. Despite with Long Xinya as the middleman, Long Family did not hesitate to expel the holder of the rank 3 in Level Ranking from their gate and schemed to kill Randy with the help of the golden-armored supervisor.
From this point, Randy realized his view of the current world was still too naive. Before the Battle of Ascension, he was just a normal college student from a well-off family. Even after experiencing the trial in Ascension World and knowing the true purpose of the Battle of Ascension, he still naively thought it was better if all people on Earth ascended together to Ascension World.
That was why he did not try to occupy other guild"s territories or intentionally provoked another guild. He just focused on the resource and people with Evil hidden stat. He only regarded the people with an evil hidden stat as an enemy.
But now different, not only he had to keep watch on the Beast Kingdom, Undead race, or people with evil hidden stat. Happy Guild had to be careful against the human as well, his own race.
Before, Randy thought it was wonderful to work together to against the other races. But now, he realized his thought was too naive. He thought so, but the other people thought otherwise.
Randy knew if he kept thinking like this would lead Happy Guild to precarious in the future. He had to change for his guild and he changed now.
Building a ma.s.sive bloodline army was a way to protect his guild, his territory, and his people. Not only protecting them from other races but human as well.
Just like this, another two weeks pa.s.sed. Today was the day of the World Contest started. Most of the guild registered to join the World Contest, not only aimed for the prizes but the resources in Dimensional Island.
…
In a certain room, Randy stood motionlessly while there were two men lying down weakly on the floor. These two men were Long Hanyu and Long Zhemin. During the three weeks, they stayed here, Randy had been feeding Long Zhemin and Long Hanyu a poison each day.
If one glanced to the current condition of these two, one would notice a huge chance. Especially Long Zhemin, his body thinned a lot, his eyes were unfocused, and his countenance was pale. Despair was the right word to describe Long Zhemin current condition. Long Hanyu was no better than Long Zhemin. In the last three weeks, they felt they were living in h.e.l.l.
