Chapter 306 The Price of Helping
Hearing the report from his subordinates, Blood Spear was suddenly stunned.
"Could it be that they really want a fight to the death?" Blood Spear's eyes were bloodshot, his emotions like a volcano about to erupt.
The entire area was sealed off, and the return scrolls couldn't be used, so they had no way to escape.
There were steep slopes on both sides, and only one path to take, either forward or backward, with no third option. Now, the road back to the city was blocked by the Devouring Serpents, and the road to Silverleaf Forest was blocked by the Guild of Aether Wing.
Originally, he thought breaking through the encirclement of the Guild of Aether Wing wouldn't be a problem, but after witnessing the strength of the Guild of Aether Wing, Blood Spear no longer underestimated them.
Breaking through either the Devouring Serpents or the Guild of Aether Wing was not an easy task.
The current situation put Blood Spear in a dilemma, but doing nothing would result in total annihilation.
The Supremacy Alliance came here just to hold back the Devouring Serpents to deal with the Darkstar Guild, but now, they had become the center of the battle.
"Everyone, form a defensive formation." After thinking for a few seconds, Blood Spear didn't dare to delay and immediately gave the order.
The members of the Supremacy Alliance quickly took action, forming a circle to defend against attacks from both sides and minimize losses. Blood Spear immediately sent a communication request to RogueVortex.
RogueVortex, who was still happy about finding FlameDancer and her group, suddenly saw Blood Spear's urgent contact.
"Blood Spear, I'll definitely compensate you after this is over, so please stop urging me," RogueVortex said impatiently.
"Compensation?" Hearing this, Blood Spear's anger flared up. Originally, it was the Darkstar Guild that wanted to deal with the Guild of Aether Wing, but now it had become the Supremacy Alliance against both the Guild of Aether Wing and the Devouring Serpents. Now they were in such a dangerous situation; could compensation make up for this?
"RogueVortex, I agreed to help you delay the Devouring Serpents, but I never agreed to a full-scale war with them. Now you've let the main force of the Guild of Aether Wing escape, leaving us to deal with two guilds, and you think a little compensation will suffice? RogueVortex, you're really good at scheming, really good!" The more Blood Spear thought about it, the angrier he got, feeling that RogueVortex had been scheming against the Supremacy Alliance all along.
First, they were made to fight the Devouring Serpents, then the main force of the Guild of Aether Wing was let go. The Guild of Aether Wing, in escape, would break through their position, forcing a conflict with the Supremacy Alliance.
RogueVortex's actions had caused significant losses to the three major guilds of Silvervale City, with only the Darkstar Guild benefiting in the end.
RogueVortex felt that this was an accident. The Guild of Aether Wing wasn't let go by him; they left on their own and happened to encounter the Supremacy Alliance, resulting in a pincer attack on the Supremacy Alliance.
It was all just a coincidence.
As for the Guild of Aether Wing turning to directly attack the Supremacy Alliance, no normal person would do that.
The Darkstar Guild was now in a full-scale war with the Guild of Aether Wing, with no end in sight. Black Flame had even declared that the Darkstar Guild would pay the price of three thousand members. How could they turn around and provoke a top-tier guild like the Supremacy Alliance?
Engaging in a full-scale war with two of the top six guilds in Silvervale City at once would be suicidal or insane.
But now, no matter what he said, Blood Spear wouldn't believe him.
So RogueVortex quickly said, "Blood Spear, I really didn't know about this. I'll send a large force over right now, and we can attack the Guild of Aether Wing from both sides. We can definitely wipe them out."
"Hurry up and get over here," Blood Spear said angrily. The more he listened, the more he felt that RogueVortex was too despicable, using the Supremacy Alliance as bait. But for now, escaping was the priority.
"Alright, I'll send them over immediately." RogueVortex hung up the communication and quickly contacted the large force outside Silverleaf Forest, instructing them to send 5,000 people to deal with the Guild of Aether Wing, leaving 1,000 to guard the entrance.
However, as time passed, the situation for the Supremacy Alliance became increasingly dire.
The more than 3,000 members of the Guild of Aether Wing were incredibly fierce. After several consecutive assaults, although the Guild of Aether Wing lost a few hundred people, the Supremacy Alliance had to pay three to four times that number, not to mention the relentless attacks from the Devouring Serpents behind them.
"President, if we keep fighting like this, we're all going to be wiped out. Haven't the Darkstar Guild people arrived yet?" Lone Courage, the leader of the Supremacy Alliance's elite group, asked Blood Spear quietly.
If all the elite members of the Supremacy Alliance lost two or three levels along with numerous weapons and equipment, the Supremacy Alliance would definitely be out of the running for dominance in Silvervale City.
"I know that, but it will take them more than ten minutes to get here." Blood Spear's heart was bleeding, but there was nothing he could do unless the Guild of Aether Wing or the Devouring Serpents opened a path to let them go.
Thinking of this, Blood Spear's eyes lit up. There was still a chance. It was impossible with the Devouring Serpents, as the two guilds were mortal enemies, but there was a possibility with the Guild of Aether Wing. The Supremacy Alliance and the Guild of Aether Wing had no direct conflict; the main enemy of the Guild of Aether Wing was the Darkstar Guild. The Supremacy Alliance was just here to support.
So Blood Spear immediately contacted Eric.
"Blood Spear, what can I do for you?" Eric accepted the communication request with a smile.
"Black Flame, the conflict between our two guilds is just a misunderstanding. The Supremacy Alliance and the Devouring Serpents are mortal enemies. We came here to deal with the Devouring Serpents, not to fight your guild. For the losses and inconvenience caused to your guild, I can represent the Supremacy Alliance and offer compensation. If your guild stops its actions now, I can have the finance department transfer one million credits to you as compensation."
"What do you think?"
Although Blood Spear spoke lightly, his tone was anxious because every second, elite member of the Supremacy Alliance were dying.
One million credits.
In the past virtual gaming world, a well-known large studio would take a month to earn over a million credits. Now, offering one million credits at once showed Blood Spear's sincerity.
"So it was a misunderstanding." Eric pretended to suddenly realize, giving Blood Spear hope, but then Eric's tone changed abruptly. "Blood Spear, you're so generous that I'm tempted, but I have a flaw: I'm very stubborn. Since it's a misunderstanding, let's continue this misunderstanding."
"By opposing our Supremacy Alliance like this, aren't you afraid of our revenge?" Blood Spear said angrily.
"Why get angry? We're all in this together, and one day, we'll have to pay the price. If you're not mentally prepared for that, you should go home and rest. Although in the Darkstar Guild's encirclement plan, your Supremacy Alliance was just here to support, you've provoked us, and you'll pay a heavy price." Eric chuckled. "But don't worry, the Darkstar Guild will soon join you."
After hanging up, Eric sent a message to Rosewater: [Don't hold back. Attack with everything you've got. I want everyone to know what happens when they dare to help invade our Guild of Aether Wing.]
