Chapter 242: The Underdog Yanhuang
Yanhuang's gathering speed is much faster.
First, Yanhuang only has five thousand members, relatively few, and the guild has already been established with a complete command structure.
Orders can be conveyed clearly and directly.
Meanwhile, over at Qiancheng Muxue, the communication has to go layer by layer: first form squads, then Hundred-Person Teams, then assemble a Thousand-Person Team before moving.
This is one advantage of having a guild: a direct command can be issued instantly through the Guild Channel.

Player silhouettes appeared one after another in the central square of Wutong Town, all having rushed back using town warp scrolls.
Among them were players from Qiancheng Muxue, Yanhuang, and Red Spider Lily.
Yanhuang Guild members, like those from Qiancheng Muxue, are also at the level‑40 Training Spot in the outer town.
When the two sides appeared, they were almost immediately at odds.
As soon as Yanhuang Guild was founded, it listed Qiancheng Muxue and Red Spider Lily as hostile; any guild can set another guild as hostile.
But Qiancheng Muxue hasn't formed a guild, so it can't formally set a hostile target.
(Yanhuang: I don't even qualify as an enemy.)
However, the Yanhuang Guild's announcement is posted.
Moreover, aside from the elder of the Assassin Alliance, all Yanhuang members were once Solo Players from Wutong Town.
While hanging out in Wutong Town before joining Yanhuang, they were almost all bullied by Qiancheng Muxue and thus held no goodwill toward them.
Furthermore, although there are no explicit orders yet, everyone knows this gathering will definitely lead to a fight.
Qiancheng Muxue members' IDs all basically start with the two characters "Qiancheng".
On Yanhuang Guild's side, although the names are chaotic, each name is prefixed with a tiny golden divine dragon emblem.
That is Yanhuang's guild emblem!
At present, in the entire Zhu Lu Game, this is the only one of its kind.
Both sides are gathering, but not exiting through the same City Gate.
Qiancheng Muxue has only mustered a little over four thousand people, while Yanhuang already has all five thousand members in place.
Yanhuang only began gathering after the other side had already assembled three thousand people.
Thus the two sides differ in gathering speed.
"Damn, is Yanhuang preparing to go at Qiancheng Muxue?"
"Yeah, their people are all gathering!"
With such big moves from both sides, Wutong Town players were naturally drawn in immediately, starting to watch the drama!
"Why is this happening out of the blue, just ready to fight?"
"I don't know, still no reason yet, but whatever, we'll just watch."
"Who do you think will win?"
"Definitely Qiancheng Muxue!"
"Right, Yanhuang may have founded a guild, but the numbers are still too small—only five thousand, and a thousand of them are former Assassin Alliance players."
"Yes, Qiancheng Muxue has over ten thousand members, and Red Spider Lily is with them too."
"Fifteen thousand versus five thousand, it looks like Qiancheng Muxue will win no matter what."
"Also, Qiancheng Muxue's core team consists of veteran members from the Hegemons, so their battle coordination is unquestionable, whereas Yanhuang's side is just newly recruited players."
"Yeah, you could see it during the initial siege; Qiancheng Muxue's players still coordinate very well."
In Wutong Town, Yanhuang and Qiancheng Muxue's swift actions spread quickly on the forum, attracting the attention of Domestic Server players.
Everyone was puzzled; the game has been live for so long, and almost every major event originates from Wutong Town.
But like other players, most people are not optimistic about Yanhuang, given the disparity in numbers and player quality.
Give Yanhuang a bit more time to expand the advantage of being the first guild, and later Qiancheng Muxue will likely not be a match for Yanhuang.
But not now.
"Did you ask? What's the situation over at Yanhuang?"
【5】 In Qinglong City, Shen Wang looked at Shen Xiao beside him and asked.
Qinglong City, Shen Wang looked at Shen Xiao beside him and asked.
Li Xiao nodded: "I asked, it seems Mo Wen's Qian Chen has an escort mission, and Qiancheng Muxue seized the opportunity."
"During this period Qiancheng Muxue took a lot of losses at Mo Wen Qianchen's hands, so now that they've got a chance they naturally want to regain face; after all, they're one of Huaxia's top ten guilds," Shen Wang said with a smile.
"Indeed," Li Xiao nodded.
"Unless Mo Wen Qianchen abandons the mission, this time they'll have to face Qiancheng Muxue head‑on, which should be a decent challenge, since Yanhuang has just started," Li Xiao also expressed doubt about Yanhuang.
Of course, that's assuming a direct confrontation.
If they go guerrilla, Yanhuang, inheriting the Assassin Alliance, would give anyone a headache.
He paused, then Li Xiao continued: "But according to Li Wenwan, that mission seems quite important and can't be abandoned lightly."
Of course, Li Wenwan only disclosed that much; after all, the Divine Artifact... Li Wenwan still knows she's now a Yanhuang member and can't speak recklessly, even to her own cousin.
"Set out, go meet the Chairman!"
Five thousand Yanhuang members gathered, and under Chen Guan's lead they marched grandly toward the coordinates where Su Sheng was.
Of course, one person stayed behind.
Supreme Invincible Yangyang... Shen Yang!
At this moment Shen Yang was already level 39, staying invisible and watching over Qiancheng Muxue's side.
At this time Qiancheng Muxue's players had not yet finished gathering.
After 40 minutes.
Su Sheng, leading the Dwarves and Yanhuang Guild members, successfully met up!
The Dwarves' movement speed is relatively slow, and the wandering mobs around them occasionally enter their threat range; these Dwarf NPCs also become attack targets for the mobs.
Of course, so far no mob has been able to encounter this Dwarf squad.
"Brothers, good work!"
"All members who participated in this operation each receive an additional 100 contribution points."
Su Sheng, seeing that the personnel were assembled, was not stingy and spoke directly in the Guild Channel.
At the same time, he increased the contribution of all members.
The Chairman has no contribution value, but can grant contribution rewards to members and can set guild quests; members who complete them can earn rewards.
"Chairman, you are mighty!"
All members became restless.
Although it can't be exchanged for cash, the purchasing power of 100 contribution points within the Yanhuang Guild is quite extravagant, since a purple piece of equipment costs only about 1,000+ points.
The gear in the guild warehouse makes them drool.
Supreme Invincible Yangyang @ Mo Wen Qianchen: "Boss! Qiancheng Muxue's people have moved!"
"Did they come rushing here?"
"That's right; there should be their scouts nearby, heading straight for you, boss."
Su Sheng turned his head and glanced around; in the distance, there were some players watching the spectacle.
Su Sheng couldn't say much either; after all, the moves of Qiancheng Muxue and Yanhuang were so big, there must be many players gathering to watch.
"Got it, follow them all the way and report your position at any time."
Yanhuang members, thus, protected the Dwarf squad as they advanced toward Wutong Town.
It will still take a little over an hour to reach Wutong Town.
