"Damn, what is going on? Why is the Jiuzhou Empire specifically targeting our guild?"

At this moment, the leaders of the Nine Great Guilds were completely dumbfounded.

Originally, the appearance of Falling into the Human World had already annoyed them enough.

Although it had a significant impact on them, after all, it was just one person.

Even if it caused an impact, it wouldn’t force them into a dead end.

But now it was different; the Jiuzhou Empire had suddenly pulled this stunt.

This was going to dig up their very foundations!

They had a total of over ten million guild members; if they had no place to stay in the nine major cities, they would be finished.

Caleb spoke up: "Does anyone have any news? Why is the Jiuzhou Imperial City suddenly targeting us?"

However, several of them shook their heads in unison, not knowing what was going on.

They also couldn’t figure out how they had offended the Native Residents here.

To actually drive them to extinction, even though they didn’t do it personally.

But this was no different from doing it personally.

If they couldn’t even protect their own safety in the major cities, they truly didn’t know where to go.

At this time, the leader of the Years Guild, Years - Peaceful, spoke up: "I do have a slight clue. According to the system announcement, they said we charge city entry fees, monopolize training locations, and collect management fees. Could the issue stem from this?"

Hearing the words of Years - Peaceful, everyone fell into deep thought.

At this time, Dragon God - Old Eight spoke up: "It is very possible. A few days ago, when our guild was collecting city exit fees from players, we accidentally collected from a Native Resident and were directly thrown into prison by the Law Enforcement Squad that rushed over, and we were locked up for ten years."

Upon hearing this, everyone listened, and subsequently, Caleb also said: "Last time I went to level up, it seems I also accidentally offended a Native Resident."

Following that, several people discussed it heatedly, all having offended Native Residents to some extent.

Years - Peaceful said: "Since it is because we offended the Native Residents, how about we apologize to them and offer compensation?"

However, as soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately opposed by everyone in unison.

"How is that possible? We are, at the very least, the leading players of the Dragon Kingdom. Apologize to Native Residents now? Where would our face be then?"

"That’s right, I have never apologized to anyone in my life. Did we do anything wrong? Wasn’t it all for the development of our Dragon Kingdom?"

"It shouldn’t be that simple. We also have no way to apologize to them. They said we collect management fees, city entry fees, and city exit fees. Are we supposed to change that? Without this income, how is our guild supposed to develop?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"But what do we do now? This matter must be resolved, otherwise the people below will be restless, and the team will be hard to lead."

"Moreover, if we want to go out to level up, we must have various supplies. Now, the major cities have increased prices for us tenfold; the people under us have no way to go out and improve their strength."

"If our strength is insufficient, we won’t be able to manage those ordinary players at all, and then our Nine Great Guilds will still be destroyed."

They certainly didn’t want the forces they had worked so hard to build to be destroyed.

Going out to level up alone, that level progression was too slow.

They had also become accustomed to having hundreds or thousands of people helping them level up.

Moreover, with a force, they were no longer short of equipment, gold coins, or various medicines.

If they lost their force, they would have nothing left.

Aside from their talent being slightly better than ordinary players, it was also very limited in strength.

They also knew just how cruel their methods against ordinary players had been over these past few years.

They didn’t know how many people had been waiting for their forces to collapse; once they collapsed, they would have absolutely no place to stay in Battle Online.

However, it might be slightly better in reality, as no one knew their actual residences.

But they couldn’t just stay in reality forever!

If they didn’t enter Battle Online, there would be no way to improve their strength.

If they didn’t improve their strength, their own situation would become increasingly dangerous.

"There is one last method, and that is for our Nine Great Guilds to unite, find a guild founding token, and build a city ourselves."

"I heard that the Qingzhou Auction House will be auctioning a guild founding token next week. Why don’t we take down this guild founding token?"

...

At the same time, the members of the Nine Great Guilds in the various major cities were all suffering greatly.

Some bolder ordinary players launched attacks on the surrounding members of the Nine Great Guilds.

Normally speaking, there was still some gap in strength between ordinary players and the players of the Nine Great Guilds.

But the members of the Nine Great Guilds simply couldn’t fight back.

Once they fought back, they would immediately be attacked by the Law Enforcement Squad, or even directly dragged into prison.

This turn of events directly caused the members of the Nine Great Guilds to completely break down.

Many members of the Nine Great Guilds began to quit their guilds.

And at this time, the leaders of the Nine Great Guilds also came forward in unison to appease their guild members.

"Everyone, rest assured. In the future, we won’t need to go to the major cities. This time, our Nine Great Guilds are preparing to unite, and in seven days, we will establish our own city for the Dragon Kingdom."

"Once we establish our own city, you will all be heroes."

"Moreover, we will also be the first guild in all of Battle Online to establish a city; what kind of glory is this!"

"For the Dragon Kingdom, let’s go!"

With the various leaders coming forward, the wave of guild exits finally slowly subsided.

However, even so, nearly one-tenth of the guild members had quit the guilds.

Lucien, who was currently strengthening equipment at the blacksmith shop, also saw the messages on the chat channel at this time.

Everyone was discussing it heatedly.

"Holy crap, building a city? Can these Nine Great Guilds really build a city?"

"Battle Online actually allows building a city yourself? How come I’ve never heard of this?"

"Aren’t they afraid that monsters will spawn directly inside the city?"

Clearly, everyone was completely unaware that players could build cities themselves.

And it was only because of his rebirth that Lucien knew players could build cities in this game.

However, that city was wiped out by the Jiuzhou Empire not many months after it was established.

But building a city requires a guild founding token. Do these people have a guild founding token?

A guild founding token can only be dropped by Dark Gold Bosses level 50 and above and Immortal Rank BOSSES level 30 and above.

Currently, players simply cannot defeat BOSSES of this strength.

Moreover, the drop rate for a guild founding token is also very low; he certainly didn’t believe that the Nine Great Guilds had a guild founding token in their hands.

However, it looked like they weren’t lying and were indeed preparing to build a city.

After all, the Nine Great Guilds could be said to have been forced into a dead end now.

Unless they disbanded the guilds, they had no choice but to find a way to build a city.
