Chapter 1404: Chapter 1404: Guild Headquarters Expansion

Li Yao came to realize in this life that sharing benefits equitably was key to strengthening relationships.

Moreover, Li Yao harbored greater ambitions; most of the Gryphon race in this world was controlled by the people of the Light Faction. Gryphons are a valiant and warlike race.

Even in the face of the Dragon Clan, the Sky Tyrant, they are not the least bit afraid to fight. The Griffin Legion truly made a name for itself during the war when the Dragon Throat Orcs controlled the Red Dragon Queen, unleashing the Red Dragon Legion. The Griffin Legion fought bravely, one after another, ultimately defending their homeland.

This battle shook the world and marked the turning point in the earlier Light Faction wars against the ancient Orc Tribes. Because of this battle, the Gryphons were also hailed as the Sky Tyrant.

Of course, this is not to say that the Gryphons could truly contend with the real Five-Color Dragon Legion, but rather it’s about their spirit of combat, their fearless attitude, and their willingness to fight against the Kings of the Sky without retreat.

Moreover, in the skies, there are indeed races and legions stronger than Gryphons, but although they are strong, they lack the domineering presence and courage of the Gryphon race.

For Li Yao to seek out the Griffin Legion, trying to find normal Gryphons is nearly impossible.

With the evolution of the war model, the forces in the Sub-dimensions that have merged into the main dimension also understood the current state of the world.

The attitudes of the Gryphons everywhere had become clear; they have already declined recruitment from any faction other than the Light Faction players.

These Gryphons, although belonging to different forces, do not wish to belong to different factions and engage in mutual slaughter.

Moreover, Gryphon Cliff is the Holy Land of all Gryphons, and their stance is of great importance.

This has resulted in Gryphons becoming a unique aerial military unit exclusive to the Light Faction. Although recruitment is difficult, the Light Faction can still obtain some. Especially as players no longer blindly breed more Legions and begin to plan according to their finances, the better military units become even more popular.

As the heir to the Queen and the first in line to inherit Undercity, Li Yao’s status is clear. He has been recognized among the second generation of the Dark Camp. Not to mention a regular Griffin Legion, even Gnomes and Dwarves know that he excels in engineering, almost completely cutting off Li Yao’s channels to obtain blueprints from the Light Faction.

Though there has been no deployment of troops to attack the plains, the Steel Alliance has basically joined the Light Faction, and the situation has become a foregone conclusion, leading to a complete blockade of the plains.

Li Yao could only turn to the exiled Gryphons of the plains to obtain Gryphons; not only for the sake of the military units, but also to ensure the stable and unbreakable internal security, Li Yao must also get the Gryphon King onto his chariot.

The plains could only slowly develop their own technology tree and wait for the growth of Titan’s Heart.

The resolution with the Red Crystal Ants had finally come to a close, and it would take at least half a month before the first batch of red crystal could be produced.

The next focus would be on the guild’s affairs. Several of the guild’s activities had become increasingly popular after nearly a month of operation, causing Starfire’s base to be bustling with visitors.

However, Starfire’s base was constructed like a standard city with a grand layout, which greatly differed from the construction patterns of other guilds’ functional buildings. And with Li Jie bringing in professionals for design and planning, as well as repeated deliberations, the layout was very logically arranged. Thus, it did not feel overcrowded.

Each district of the city had a clear purpose and did not impede the operations of the guild.

What Li Yao had to busy himself with was the overall planning for the further expansion of Starfire. Of course, all he needed to do was come up with ideas and requirements; the specific operations would still rely on Li Jie and Qin Feng Yi.

Li Jie looked over the simple expansion blueprint provided by Li Yao for a while before saying, “You once said that you wanted to develop Sandy Harbor into a big city on the level of a main city, which I thought was a pipe dream back then. But looking at the next step of the plan, although the road is still long from becoming a main city, there is already an air of one.”

“There is indeed an air of one, but this expansion will likely consume a large amount of funds. I wonder if our guild can bear it,” Li Yao said worriedly. He wasn’t in a rush, but the main instance was about to start, and Starfire would become an important transit point.

Although Sandy Harbor was not small, it had become saturated with visitors due to entertainment operations. If it were to become a transit point, it would seem excessively crowded. Moreover, being too provincial was not conducive to the future development of Starfire, which was why he proposed to expand it ahead of time.

“The construction capability is beyond doubt; one week is enough, after all, this is a magical world. Plus, with the abilities of your pets to cleave through rock and stone, sourcing materials is much simpler. Therefore, it’s not difficult to construct new secondary-profession and adventurer-functional districts. The difficulty lies in two aspects, one is the recruitment problem for these functional NPCs, which is very tricky. The human NPCs we recruited last time from the Dusty Marshes have all been allocated to their respective posts, and we can barely spare any manpower now,” Li Jie said worriedly.

Li Yao nodded and replied, “I have already taken care of that. Yesterday, I went to Undercity to meet the Queen and explained the problem to her. Using the Queen’s name, I visited various secondary-profession shops and professional trainers in Undercity and hired the masters’ students with high salaries. As for our city, those people are already high-quality. I also visited the Adventurers’ Guild; they said we must wait until our expansion is completed and becomes a real city before they will send people to evaluate. Once we meet their standards, they will establish a branch.”

“If that’s the case, I’m relieved. Money is not an issue; our guild has a lot of savings, and you’ve never sold it for credit points, so we were actually wondering how to spend it. Moreover, with future red crystal and entertainment competition profits, it won’t cause any significant economic impact on our guild.”

“The second issue, if you plan to open a channel from the sandbar river and construct artificial rivers surrounding the various districts of Starfire, it might pose a safety hazard. If this issue cannot be resolved, I advise against digging. Moreover, the Frogman Prince seems to be leaving to return to his tribe to succeed the throne, and the majority of the Frogmen might leave. As for the Murlocs and naga, they are not suitable to live directly in our territory, especially the naga; without the hydra, they will become violent.”

“I have thought about this problem too. Most coastal nagas indeed have lower intelligence and are heavily influenced by the Old Gods, which affects their minds. However, I have this time replenished the source, and both the hydra and the sea monsters have regained some of their dominance in the sea. The hydra can recruit more hydras, and the sea monster can recruit some sea creatures.”

Li Yao pointed out a few locations and continued: “The sea monster recruited by the sea creatures can establish defense at the entry of the canal to the sea and several wider nodes. As for the river side, it’s freshwater, and the two-headed snakes have strong adaptability and can occupy our excavated canal entrance on the sandbar river to establish a Water Fortress, and proliferate there. After the main storyline instance is over, I will find a way to get more two-headed snakes, hopefully forming a substantial force, both to defend the river entrance and serve as a recruitment point for a magical troop type; this will be a guild benefit, and I believe other players in the guild will also take it to heart.”

“And how about internal defenses?” …
