Chapter 1375: Retreat!
“What is going on at Saga City?”
Although it was just a short sentence, it was enough to make Lava Teeth feel like death.
The only reason for Lava Teeth to have such a reaction was because the person who sent the message was the boss of Black Dragon Guild, Black Dragon King.
It was known that Black Dragon Guild was a corporate style guild and they had stricter hierarchy rules. In simpler terms, Black Dragon King was the CEO and also the Chairman of Black Dragon Guild.
Lava Teeth was like a general manager.
According to the rules, if Lava Teeth faced problems, the person contacting Lava Teeth should be his direct boss and Lava Teeth should report to him, then his boss would submit the matter to the headquarters. Now that Black Dragon King skipped the procedures to ask Lava Teeth about this, it meant that the matter was serious.
Black Dragon King had no choice but to do that either.
If the general manager merely caused small losses on the company, Black Dragon King could not be bothered.
But what was Lava Teeth doing?
Losing a part of the company to another party? Black Dragon King could not sit back any longer.
Lava Teeth started reporting everything to the chairman since he already asked. Lava Teeth told Black Dragon King everything from when Quan Zhen Sect robbed Karl to them handing the seal over to Sanguine Alliance.
“Quan Zhen Sect?”
The j.a.panese were already bad at gaming and Black Dragon King was a businessman himself. Hence, he would not have heard about Quan Zhen Sect at all. Since Lava Teeth described Quan Zhen Sect to be so difficult to deal with, he asked, “How many people does that Quan Zhen Sect have?”
“This…”
Lava Teeth paused.
It was no wonder he was the boss. He immediately asked Lava Teeth the question that he wanted to avoid the most.
How should Lava Teeth answer this question?
Though Saga City was a small city and did not have as many players as the Chinese, they had fifty to sixty thousand people still, equivalent to Twilight City’s population.
Black Dragon Guild players occupied one-third of the population with an amount of 20 thousand players.
On the other hand, Quan Zhen Sect only had a little more than 10 people…
Even Lava Teeth felt unreal that a city with 20 thousand Black Dragon Guild Players could not prevent Karl from getting abducted by a few people. What would others think then?
The bosses will not care about how hard the process was as they only cared about the results.
If Lava Teeth continued lying, it would concern his moral standing. Black Dragon Guild could find out everything about Quan Zhen Sect within seconds, so there was no point lying about Quan Zhen Sect.
However, if Lava Teeth really spoke the truth, it would tell a lot about his capability.
With such a weak display, would he get fired?
Lava Teeth did not want to lie to Black Dragon King nor get fired, so he gave an answer that was a little indirect, “Quan Zhen Sect is not important. The main problem is that the Sanguine Alliance has way more people than we do!”
“Oh?” Just like what Lava Teeth expected, Black Dragon King’s subject was successfully diverted and continued asking, “How many players do they have?”
Lava Teeth was relieved and reported to Black Dragon King, “Sanguine Alliance is a guild ranked top 10 in China, the average rank of the players are level 52. Players online daily are at 30 thousand people! They are very powerful!”
“En!” Black Dragon King muttered to himself and said, “I have heard that the Chinese players are better in the game, but why didn’t you report to me when such a big thing happened?”
“This…” Lava Teeth replied, “I thought I could get it back, but I did not expect our opponents to be so hard to deal with.”
Black Dragon King said calmly, “These are just the objective reasons. No matter what, you have to take full responsibility for this. Hand me a report and wait for further instructions!”
“Y… yes.”
Lava Teeth let out a sigh of relief after seeing Black Dragon King’s message.
Waiting for further instructions meant that he still had hope… Black Dragon King could have asked him to f*ck off instead.
Regarding the report, it was pretty normal. Compared to losing his job, a severe punishment seemed much better.
Talking about work, Lava Teeth asked, “Boss, what about Saga City then?”
“You don’t have to worry about that anymore! Bring the people back first!” Black Dragon King continued, “I will send people to settle Saga City!”
…
While Lava Teeth spoke to Black Dragon King, w.a.n.g Yu went back to the game and reached the City Lord Mansion.
Seeing w.a.n.g Yu come back, Fearless asked curiously, “What happened? Why did you go offline in such a rush?”
“Aye!” w.a.n.g Yu sighed and continued, “Sanguine Warflag is in trouble!”
“In trouble?” Fearless spoke in shock, “Don’t tell me that he is in Saga City?”
Looks like Fearless knew Sanguine Warflag pretty well. After all, the only enemy that Sanguine Alliance had was Quan Zhen Sect. if Sanguine Warflag was in so much trouble that he had to call w.a.n.g Yu out of the game, he must not be in the server. Therefore, Sanguine Warflag must be in Saga City.
“That’s right!” w.a.n.g Yu said, “I will go and save him first!”
After that, he left the City Lord’s Mansion.
Sanguine Warflag and his men were in the safe zone in the teleportation formation. Looking at the surrounding players, Sanguine Warflag had an indescribable feeling.
He was still their City Lord no matter what, so why did his people attack him the moment he came? This must be the first time in history that a City Lord was treated like that.
Sanguine Asura said with a dissatisfied tone, “Boss, do you think that we got scammed by Quan Zhen Sect?”
To describe Sanguine Asura’s actions in a nice way, it was being “direct”, but to describe it in a bad way, he just does things without thinking.
Something this obvious was very clear to everyone, so there was no point in saying it out.
Moreover, all of them were still waiting for Quan Zhen Sect to come to their aid, so there were no benefits offending Quan Zhen Sect right now.
Right when Sanguine Asura finished his sentence, a familiar voice beside them said, “I didn’t expect you guys to come take over this city with just the few of you!”
“Ah?”
Sanguine Warflag and the rest looked to the side and saw w.a.n.g Yu.
Sanguine Warflag explained immediately, “Old Bull, G.o.d Bull, we never plan to do that!”
“It’s okay!” w.a.n.g Yu waved his hands, “I am not Fearless, you don’t have to be afraid!”‘
Psh, w.a.n.g Yu still thinks that he was a good guy… In actual fact, if there was no w.a.n.g Yu, Fearless could not have done anything to them either.
“Uh, you are too humble,” Sanguine Warflag paused and said.
w.a.n.g Yu smiled with embarra.s.sment and gave the teleportation authority to them. Light flashed and all of them disappeared into the teleportation formation.
Meanwhile, the Black Dragon Guild players who surrounded the resurrection point received orders from Lava Teeth to retreat.
