230: Alliance Meeting

Newbie Main City.

Thunder Guild.

Zhao Meng and Gobu Firm sat in the main seats of the Guild’s conference room, while the other seats were filled with Guild Leaders from other Newbie Main Cities.

After the War God Guild and Menglong Guild were eliminated by Qin Tian, the Thunder Guild became the strongest Guild in the Beginner Area.

Under Qin Tian's instruction, they formed an alliance with the Goblin Clan, integrating all forces in this area into a super alliance.

This power was invincible in the Beginner Area, and the various Guilds cooperated fully, taking down many powerful BOSSes and difficult dungeons, greatly improving their strength.

Many players had even successfully leveled up to 50 and left the Beginner Area.

Such a large force could be said to be invincible in the Beginner Area, capable of easily resolving any trouble, but now, every face in the conference room was filled with deep worry.

“I'm sure everyone already knows why I invited you here this time.”

Zhao Meng looked at everyone in the conference room, his gaze mainly directed at the other Guild Leaders.

Gobu Firm had already reached a consensus with him on behalf of the Goblin Clan; this meeting was mainly to persuade the Masters of other Guilds.

“Guild Leader Zhao, does that World Barrier really exist? Is there any evidence? Suddenly asking everyone to enter the Goblin’s territory makes us feel uneasy.”

“Exactly, Guild Leader Zhao, we definitely trust you, but as an old saying goes, ‘Those who are not of our kind are sure to be of a different mind.’”

“Yes, Guild Leader Zhao, I think this matter should be reconsidered.”

...

As soon as Zhao Meng finished speaking, before he even explained what was happening, he was met with opposition from the other Guild Leaders.

Zhao Meng was not surprised by this; he had also heard about the World Barrier from Gobu Firm. If Qin Tian hadn't made him ally with Gobu Firm back then, Zhao Meng would probably have the same reaction now.

After all, the existence of a World Barrier was too advanced for players still in the Beginner Area.

That was something for super experts at the pinnacle of human players in the Ninth-Tier Area to consider.

But if it was truly as Gobu Firm said, and the World Barrier shattered, they might be the first to be invaded.

The invading enemies were simply not something they could resist. They had to quickly retreat into the Goblin Clan’s dungeon area before the World Barrier shattered.

They would then close the teleportation entrance to avoid being discovered.

“The World Barrier is about to shatter; this is a certainty. Next to us is the Third-Tier Area where Indian players are, all of whom are level 150 or above.”

“After the World Barrier shatters, they will most likely invade us. Once they invade, we will have no way to resist. Hiding inside the Goblin’s dungeon home before the World Barrier shatters is the safest approach.”

Zhao Meng patiently advised.

After all, they were all China players and allies, and he couldn't bear to see these people die in vain due to ignorance.

“Guild Leader Zhao, I think your worries are unnecessary. If it’s really as you say, and players from various areas can move freely after the World Barrier shatters, then next to us is our China’s Fifth-Tier Area. Those are all players level 250 and above, much stronger than Indian players. If they dare to invade, our players here will beat the shit out of them.”

Guild Leader Zhang, the Guild Leader of Yunlong Guild, did not agree with Zhao Meng’s statement. Even with Zhao Meng’s patient persuasion, he was still the first to stand up and object, and his attitude was very firm.

“Exactly, exactly, we don’t need to worry unnecessarily.”

Beside Guild Leader Zhang, Zhao Feng, the Guild Leader of Xingtian Guild, echoed.

Although the other Guild Leaders did not express their opinions, they all whispered and discussed among themselves.

“Guild Leader Zhao, according to my clan’s estimation, the World Barrier is already very weak and could shatter at any time. I must go back and prepare. So, those who are willing to come later, you can bring them; otherwise, forget it.”

As everyone was discussing, Gobu Firm, who was beside Zhao Meng, suddenly spoke.

The scene instantly fell silent, and all eyes turned towards Gobu Firm.

This statement was equivalent to an ultimatum, turning the discussion directly into a choice.

“Thank you for your trouble.”

Zhao Meng nodded. He also understood that it’s hard to persuade someone who is determined to die. Since the words had been said to this extent, further persuasion would be useless.

Gobu Firm stood up and left. Zhao Meng looked at the Guild Leaders: “Everyone, now I think we should put aside our prejudices. Although Gobu Firm is a Goblin, he is indeed a friend of Qin Tian, our Guild’s Vice President, and absolutely reliable. Please trust me, and trust Qin Tian.”

Upon hearing Zhao Meng mention Qin Tian, many Guild Masters’ eyes lit up.

“Qin Tian? The Qin Tian who killed the War God Guild and a group of Sakura Country players?”

“That kid certainly has some skills, but didn’t he already leave the Beginner Area?”

“A few days ago, I heard the National War ended, and it seems he was the MVP. That kid levels up really fast.”

...

Speaking of Qin Tian, most of the Guild Leaders present, although they hadn't met him, had all heard of him.

After all, the collusion between the War God Guild, Menglong Guild, and Sakura Country had caused a huge stir.

Qin Tian also went to many main cities to clear out those traitorous Guilds.

“I trust Vice President Qin’s character. Our Meteor Guild is willing to follow your arrangements.”

“Our Yunzhou Guild will also listen to you.”

“Then count our Niuniu Guild in too.”

...

Immediately, many Guild Leaders made their choice.

Among them, quite a few had been inadvertently saved by Qin Tian.

They were originally in a heated battle with the Guilds colluding with Sakura Country, but Qin Tian's appearance directly turned the tide of the battle.

At the time, they didn't know the situation, but later, these Guild Leaders also found out that it was Qin Tian’s doing.

“A bunch of cowards, willing to trust monsters but unwilling to trust the experts of my China.”

Guild Leader Zhang snorted coldly, stood up from his seat, and slammed the door shut as he left.

“Guild Leader Zhao, I will go back and discuss with the members of our Guild.”

Zhao Feng said and also got up and left.

As the two of them left, some other Guild Leaders also showed hesitation on their faces. Then, a few more Guild Leaders stood up, cupped their fists towards Zhao Meng, apologized, and followed suit.

Zhao Meng was not surprised by this; after all, everyone makes judgments based on their own understanding.

In a short time, a few brief words could not change others' minds.

For those Guild Leaders who were hesitant before and now made up their minds, it wasn't Zhao Meng who changed their minds, but rather that the matter they were hesitant about had been resolved. In their perception, Qin Tian was a reliable existence, which is why they made up their minds.

“Then everyone go back and prepare. We’ll gather at our main city gate in a bit.”

As soon as Zhao Meng finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.

A message came from the Thunder Guild members in the Goblin dungeon.

“The World Barrier has shattered.”
