MMORPG: Martial Gamer
Chapter 1681 1681: The Hearts of the People are Scattered, It's Hard to Lead the Troops

Like corporations in the real world, large guilds in games are generally divided into smaller units for easier management.

For example, the Sanguine Alliance consists of groups of five hundred people, with each hundred forming a team that is further divided into smaller groups.

Currently, the Sanguine Alliance has stationed fifteen thousand people in Twilight City, with thirty groups and one hundred fifty teams under its command.

Each team revolves around its captain, who holds the authority within that team; players only heed the captain's commands.

Over time, each team has evolved into a small community. Without the backstabbing typical of real-world workplaces, the bonds between teams have become quite close.

Sanguine Stormbringer is well aware of this dynamic, so prior to this situation, he had already conspired with the team leaders, bringing them into a group to align them with his side.

The team members naturally obey their captains.

In fact, aside from their obedience, when they received messages from their captain, everyone responded accordingly.

Initially, the players of the Sanguine Alliance decided to fight fiercely against the Quan Zhen Sect, not for anyone else, but for themselves and their own dignity.

However, after the captains reminded them, the nature of their commitment completely changed... Everyone suddenly realized that their passion was being used to serve others...

Everyone is a self-interested individual, and upon realizing this, they naturally calmed down.

If the guild leader was Sanguine Warflag, it was understandable that everyone would fight hard together after being together for so long, sharing feelings and cohesion.

But what is Sanguine Thousand Miles? This guy came to the Sanguine Alliance, first chased away the old leader, and then forced everyone to fight for him. The players of the Sanguine Alliance could be said to hate this guy to the core. At this moment, hearing that they would have to fight for Sanguine Thousand Miles, everyone naturally felt a million unwillingness.

Thus, the momentum that the Sanguine Alliance had just built up dissipated in an instant.

Of course, some players remained rational; after thinking for a moment, one couldn't help but ask, "What should we do? If we don't fight, the Sanguine Alliance will be gone."

"Don't worry!" In response to this question, the captains had long prepared their responses, replying nonchalantly, "This is Sanguine Thousand Miles' Sanguine Alliance, but our Sanguine Alliance has just begun."

Although the captains' answers were ambiguous and a bit confusing, the underlying meaning was clear upon reflection. Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to sense something, so they stopped talking, choosing to keep their distance and follow orders.

At that moment, the Quan Zhen Sect's attack on the Sanguine Alliance began.

With the orders from the leaders of various teams, the players of the Sanguine Alliance naturally did not come out to resist. However, they were not foolish enough to open the gates and welcome the attackers; they merely stood silently atop the city walls, watching as the Quan Zhen Sect unleashed their assault on their guild's base.

The criteria for victory in a deathmatch is much higher than in a regular guild war. In a typical guild war, simply breaking the main guild's base is enough to win, but in a deathmatch, one must not only breach all guild bases but also kill the enemy leader more than ten times.

If during the killing process the target goes offline, it is considered a forfeit.

The Sanguine Alliance has thirty guild bases in total, aside from the main base, there are over twenty other locations. The Quan Zhen Sect has only a little over a dozen people; breaking down thirty guild bases is no small task, and it can certainly be considered a labor-intensive job.

Fortunately, the members of the Quan Zhen Sect are not weak, their output is sufficient, and Fearless is willing to spend money, having purchased four siege ladders at high prices. Without resistance, their efficiency in attacking the city is still quite fast.

In the Sanguine Alliance's office, Sanguine Thousand Miles and others were waiting for the Quan Zhen Sect to be completely defeated by their players. However, it wasn't long before they received a system notification.

<Your guild base of the Sanguine Alliance has been breached by the Quan Zhen Sect! Remaining bases: 29/30. Please prepare for defense, and enjoy the game.>

This system is quite cheeky; even when their own base has been attacked, it wishes them a good game—how infuriating…

"Damn it!"

After receiving the system message, Sanguine Thousand Miles nearly jumped up. Without saying a word, he angrily messaged the defending team: "What's going on? What are you all doing? A bunch of useless fools!"

The captain of the team defending the Sanguine Alliance's main base is none other than Sanguine Asura. After receiving the message from Sanguine Thousand Miles, Sanguine Asura merely sneered and didn't reply, casually putting Sanguine Thousand Miles on his blacklist.

When Sanguine Thousand Miles sent another message, the system straightforwardly informed him: "The other party has refused messages from non-friends."

"????"

Seeing this notification, Sanguine Thousand Miles was furious to the point of exploding. He directly started cursing in the guild channel: "Sanguine Asura, you useless piece of trash! How dare you blacklist me? Just you wait!"

After cursing Sanguine Asura, Sanguine Thousand Miles threatened others again: "You all listen here, if the Sanguine Alliance goes down, you won't have good days either..."

Look at this, look at this, what do you call young people? What do you call being clueless? Sanguine Thousand Miles, accustomed to bossing his subordinates around like a teacher, is now trying to do the same with players in the game. Isn't he just digging his own grave?

Everyone plays games and bands together to bully others, not to be dogs for their guild leader. What the hell is Sanguine Thousand Miles to dare speak like that to his elders?

If it were someone like Sanguine Warflag, a seasoned player, in this situation, they would surely say all the right things. Even if they couldn't offer immediate benefits, they would at least paint a hopeful picture to boost everyone's spirits. Sanguine Thousand Miles' behavior is just adding fuel to the fire.

Originally, everyone disliked Sanguine Thousand Miles, but they felt a bit guilty about the idea of not resisting. However, once Sanguine Thousand Miles spoke, that guilt vanished in an instant...

What the hell is wrong with these people? Even at a time like this, they still can't get a grip on reality. Shouldn't you go be a fool somewhere else? We're not serving you anymore!

Moreover, some players even directly messaged Fearless and others: "Fearless, come to our base quickly; the doors are wide open for you. Just come and smash the crystal."

"Fearless, come here first; we have beauties as cheerleaders..."

Even Fearless, upon receiving the flood of invitations from Sanguine Alliance players, was left dumbfounded. After a long pause, he finally managed to utter, "The hearts of the people are scattered; it's hard to lead the troops. How does Sanguine Thousand Miles manage his affairs?"

With the cooperation between the players of the Sanguine Alliance and the Quan Zhen Sect, the Sanguine Alliance fell, losing three bases in quick succession...

As a series of system notifications poured in, Sanguine Thousand Miles finally panicked.
