64: Chapter 63 Amo

"The Great Axe Gang?"

Mo Bai nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Although he couldn't figure out the background of that so-called messenger, facing the Great Axe Gang was something he had long expected.

Even without any other circumstances, the continuous gathering of survivors in Sheep Horn Village alone would attract the Great Axe Gang's scrutiny.

He would have to face them sooner or later.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been putting all his effort into developing armaments during this time.

Naturally, he had planned to deal with them long ago.

However, before he could say anything, Ye Qing continued speaking.

"Luo Long told us not to worry too much. The Oak Town Player Alliance is already rapidly mobilizing elite players.

They plan to completely clip the wings of the Great Axe Gang before dealing with the Oak Town Mayor.

They have currently mobilized nearly a thousand elites, preparing to seize the opportunity while the Great Axe Gang is out to completely surround and annihilate them."

Ye Qing made a fierce gesture, and Mo Bai raised his eyebrows at the news.

He had heard something about this matter.

The Oak Town Mayor holds the highest administrative power in Oak Town, even having the authority to apply for the removal of players' Revive permissions within the Empire.

But at the same time, he is restricted by administrative power; many things require a cause and must be done within the rules.

So whatever he does—whether arresting villagers or suppressing players—it's all done through the Great Axe Gang as his dirty-work proxy.

After all, the Great Axe Gang truly has no taboos whatsoever.

Therefore, the primary hunting target of the Oak Town Player Alliance recently has been the Great Axe Gang. However, they don't have a good way to deal with the two transcendents, the Big Boss and the Second-in-Command, while ordinary gang members can be recruited as easily as they want.

So this is also a precious opportunity for Luo Long and the others. Additionally...

"Luo Long said we should just focus on our research. As for fighting, we should leave that to the professionals."

Mo Bai raised an eyebrow slightly at this.

"Oh? Such bold words?"

Ye Qing also chuckled upon hearing this. Aside from Mo Bai, he and Zhou Rin were the only ones who truly understood the startling changes and formidable strength of the Association Guard after practicing the Body Tempering Method.

Regarding Luo Long's words, he couldn't help but snicker inwardly.

"Right, they were very insistent."

Mo Bai silently gave a thumbs up.

"Fine, then leave it to them."

After speaking, Mo Bai once again immersed himself in research.

By the shore of Quiet Lake, Luo Long, Li Yujian, Ming Zhan, and others had brought a large number of players.

With longbows, javelins, and crossbows, the players, coupled with various equipment, had directly fortified the shore of Quiet Lake into a heavy fortress, looking like a hedgehog.

With a large number of players coming and going, Mo Bai discovered over a thousand people within the range of his Spiritual Power coverage alone.

The total number probably already exceeded three thousand.

With this massive team backing him, Luo Long was in high spirits. When he came to see Mo Bai, he said generously,

"A'Mo, you don't need to worry at all. Just keep doing what you usually do; leave the rest to us."

"What Great Axe Gang? We'll kill them today."

Luo Long left with a beaming smile after finishing. Although he was in his glory at the moment, he was also exceptionally busy.

The mobilization and arrangement of three thousand people meant enough various matters to keep him busy twenty-four hours a day without rest.

Even so, he still found time to show off his prestige and act cool in front of Mo Bai.

One could only say... those who know, know.

“Tsk tsk.”

“But why are there so many people here for live streaming?”

Mo Bai frowned slightly as he saw a player by the lakeside trying to sneak in, only to be stopped by Zhou Rin and his men.

Seeing the resolute attitude of Zhou Rin and the others, the person left resentfully.

"Brothers, I might have to disappoint you; I didn't see Mo Bai himself.

Hopefully, I can show him to everyone in the future. For now, I'll take you to see the headquarters of the Player Alliance. Several main leaders are working over there."

The person muttered to the empty air in front of him as he left the scene.

Zhou Rin, Ye Qing, and the others continued to block those attempting to enter.

Meanwhile, Mo Bai opened the forum and immediately spotted several high-trending live-stream videos.

"Live Stream: Oak Town Players vs. NPC Transcendents."

"Live Stream: Final Battle Against the Great Axe Gang."

"Live Stream: Revealing the Mysterious Mage."

"..."

One live-stream notification after another directly occupied several high-popularity posts in Oak Town.

It seemed the eyes of all of Oak Town had gathered here, focused on the shore of Quiet Lake.

This place had become the focal point, even attracting the attention of many players from outside towns.

"This battle will determine the fate of all players in our Oak Town."

Within the range of Mo Bai's Spiritual Power, Luo Long spoke among a group of players.

It wasn't that he intended to eavesdrop, but Mo Bai's Spiritual Power normally covered a radius of a thousand meters and processed information within a two-thousand-meter range at all times.

And Luo Long's location happened to be within this range.

It couldn't be helped; it was essentially right under Mo Bai's nose.

Since they were speaking right under his nose, it was quite difficult for him to pretend he couldn't hear.

At least for now, no one had discovered his Spiritual Power abnormality.

"So we must succeed in one stroke, directly crippling the Big Boss, the Second-in-Command, and the core of the Great Axe Gang, completely breaking them apart.

That way, we players will have the final say in all of Oak Town. By then, the government troops won't even dare to step out of Oak Town."

Luo Long said with a disdainful gaze.

"Players in other places have already tested it: as long as the authorities don't know who did it,

even the Mayor won't be able to act recklessly, because he can't possibly ban all the players in the town.

He doesn't have the authority, nor does he dare."

"So, the Great Axe Gang is the key."

"This battle! We must win!"

"Now, listen to my deployment!"

Luo Long's voice continued to ring out, as players one after another used small brushes and bamboo slips to quickly record and pass on orders.

Three thousand players instantly sprang into action.

There were no ingenious tactics, no miraculous schemes.

The more clever schemes there are, the easier it is for things to go wrong.

Luo Long had only one thought.

"We are going to push through fair and square! we will fight a grand and honorable battle!"

Luo Long slammed his palm on the table, his voice decisive and resolute.

While the players here were in a fever pitch of activity, a player with jealousy in his eyes looked at Luo Long standing on a high platform giving a mobilization speech. He left immediately and turned to enter the gates of the Great Axe Gang.

As soon as he entered the gates and saw a minor leader, he immediately put on a fawning smile.

"Sir, I have the latest information and intelligence from the players' side."

"Hmm?"

The minor leader frowned slightly upon hearing this, but remembered something the next moment and immediately led him inside.

A moment later, the player ran out of the Great Axe Gang joyfully, holding some silver coins.
