Absolute Death Game

Both of these influential figures had made their stance clear. Those who were on good terms with them weighed the pros and cons in their hearts and immediately raised their hands to join. Even those who were still somewhat indecisive joined in after seeing everyone else raise their hands.

"Good, since everyone agrees, from today on we will advance and retreat together," said Xuan Zhenzi as he took out a stack of scrolls from his hand, "It's not that I don't trust everyone, but this matter is of great importance and cannot tolerate any mistakes. These are Soul Contracts, to ensure that no one betrays the group, those who join the alliance must sign a Soul Contract. As veterans in the game, everyone naturally knows the power of the Soul Contract. They took the contracts in their hands and looked them over several times. These Soul Contracts cannot be forged—the goals of the alliance are detailed on it, and anyone who violates the contract will be disbanded soul and spirit. After triple checking for any issues, everyone then signed their names on the contract. As wisps of blue smoke disappeared from their hands, they were now aboard the proverbial pirate ship, with no chance of getting off.

Xiao Buli naturally took over and signed the contract as well. With this restriction, his subsequent plans just became more convenient to implement.

"Next, tell us about your plans," Old Luo finished signing the contract and came over to Xiao Buli with a smile, asking.

"The system's eyes are everywhere. To avoid detection by the system, my plan must be executed in three steps. Are you all interested in hearing my plan?"

While some were somewhat disdainful of Xiao Buli's secrecy, since they had joined the alliance, it seemed that they were certain to cooperate with the following matters. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Xiao Buli continued, "First, we must not reveal the fact of our alliance. Everyone should start to conquer all the cities and territories that have not been occupied by players, ensuring that besides the territories governed by the Ancestral Dragon, everything else becomes our territory. During this phase, if the Ancestral Dragon competes with us for territory, do not fight to the death. Everyone must preserve their strength; even if we have to give up some territories, it does not matter. Just expand your power as much as possible, ensuring that no territory is overlooked. That means, on this continent, aside from us and the Ancestral Dragon, there cannot be a third-party force.

We operate separately mainly to avoid startling the snake in the grass, causing the Ancestral Dragon to let down its guard. As long as our strengths are distributed, the Ancestral Dragon won't annihilate us since they also need to ensure there are other forces on the continent.

When all territories have been occupied by the Ancestral Dragon and us, that will be the second phase of the strategy. This is when the real battle begins. Then, one nation will take the lead, and we must form a united army, coming together for a decisive battle with the Ancestral Dragon. Only by this will we have a fighting chance. As for the third phase of the strategy, that will have to be disclosed after the decisive battle."

"Your plan is too vague, isn't it? And when we face off against the Ancestral Dragon, what do we rely on? A flesh pile? They have guns and cannons; do you think we're fighting the War of Resistance?" a chairman, who was already reluctant to join, suddenly said loudly after hearing Xiao Buli's plan, clearly very unsatisfied.

"Plus, there are quite a few strong NPC nations now. It's probably not that easy to conquer them, right?"

Xiao Buli heard this, but his usual good temper was not on display. These individuals reigned supreme in their own guilds, but now they were expected to follow his arrangements. Playing Mr. Nice Guy wouldn't work, so he said sternly, "First, I don't disclose all the details of the plan because the system's control over us is ubiquitous, and I will not risk being discovered. Moreover, you only need to know what you need to do. Second, I am much more aware of the Ancestral Dragon's strength than you are, so don't talk to me about resisting war. I say this because I am prepared to do so." As Xiao Buli spoke, he maintained eye contact with the man who had just spoken. Comparatively, that person's eyes lacked the same confidence and ruthlessness, and he slowly lowered his head.

Xiao Buli fell silent for a moment, then turned his head to address everyone, "As for the strength of NPC nations, don't worry about that. I will provide you with some information at that time, including the composition of these nations' troops, the abilities of high-ranking officers, troop distribution, etc. When the time comes, whoever thinks they can take it down, can go for it."

People had heard of the Qingyang Empire's intelligence system, so when they heard Xiao Buli say this, not one person objected, and everyone's hearts couldn't help but throb with excitement. It seemed they too could experience the benefits of The Undying's siege tactics. If they couldn't win even with absolute intelligence guiding them, they might as well buy a block of tofu to hit and kill themselves.

Xiao Buli saw no opposition and was satisfied, nodding, "Very well, if everyone agrees with my plan, then it's decided. Tomorrow, we will commence with a comprehensive conquest. Considering that none of the chairmen here can lead everyone, I propose Daoist Xuan Zhen to take the position of Alliance Hierarch. What do you think?"

No one objected to Xiao Buli's suggestion. Many present had been given their chance to enter the game by Xuan Zhenzi. Moreover, Luo Sen and Lei Zhengang were all well-acquainted with Xuan Zhenzi, who himself did not have his own forces, making him the most suitable candidate for the Alliance Hierarch.

Luo Sen smiled without saying anything, just looking at Lei Zhengang. Lei Zhengang hesitated for a moment then chuckled, "Okay, for the arduous task of saving the world, I'm willing to be the caboose. It's settled, let's move separately." (To be continued.
