Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

Liu Nian said, "Currently, my Arakshim is severely damaged and lacks a driving core, so it cannot directly participate in the battle for a short period of time. However..." Liu Nian continued, "I also control the City of Exile on the third level of the Underdark, and the Spider-Elves are my subordinates..."

Subordinates and allies are two different concepts, which means that Liu Nian is the actual controller of this force. Most players were hearing for the first time that Liu Nian controlled an NPC force, and they couldn't help but feel secretly shocked.

When they heard that Liu Nian possessed such a powerful transport platform as the Void Giant Kun, their eyes widened in astonishment.

"Furthermore, I have already subjugated a third of the troll players from the neighboring region and captured one of their capital cities, Zul'Shlag..."

"What?" Many people stood up in surprise.

Liu Nian frowned, and the people realized that they had subconsciously interrupted Liu Nian's speech, so they quickly shut up and sat down.

Liu Nian knew that these people were unintentional and not doing it on purpose, so he did not react and continued to speak slowly.

After finishing talking about the trolls, Wang Mian raised his hand, indicating that he wanted to chime in, and Liu Nian nodded in agreement.

Wang Mian said, "There is no doubt about this. Many of my players and I can confirm that we were attacked by a large number of troll players that day, and suffered heavy casualties. It was Liu Nian and Guild Leader Wu Zhan who brought a large number of players to help us. In the end, it was Liu Nian who single-handedly broke through the troll camp... After that, I had the opportunity to form a strategic alliance with the chieftain of the Centaur Wind Chaser tribe, Carol Tauros."

After Wang Mian finished speaking, he gestured for Liu Nian to continue. Liu Nian nodded and took over the conversation: "In the short term, troll players will not participate in the battle here, for the same reason as the centaurs: they need to stabilize their own region first. However, my other vassal force—the Abe Bees—can participate in the battle. There are about 3 of them, with about 1 being level 80 or above."

Everyone gasped in shock.

Guild leaders: I'm speechless. Do you have to be this arrogant?

Wu Zhan's eyes widened: Brother, I know you're awesome, but you don't have to be this awesome, do you?

What... why are we still using the turtling tactics? In his original calculations, human players could easily take on any of the chaotic factions one-on-one, and with the Demon Bear Clan and Eagle Clan keeping them occupied, Wu Zhan was confident that he could use Azure Town as bait to crush an enemy's main city.

But now, with the strong support of 3 Yabe Bee players, we are not afraid to fight head-on!

At this moment, another player couldn't help but raise their hand; it was Leon.

He said, "Lord Liu, I heard you have a good relationship with the Sun-Eating Demon Bear Clan, right? Why haven't you considered forming an alliance with them?"

Liu Nian said, "It's like this, it's not that I don't want to form an alliance, but the Demon Bear Clan and the Eagle Clan don't see eye to eye. Although they're not mortal enemies, it's common for them to fight each other when they meet. Another issue is how to divide the 'cake'..."

Liu Nian explained the situation clearly, and everyone nodded in agreement. Indeed, what's the point of forming an alliance if the benefits can't be distributed?

After Liu Nian finished speaking, the guild leaders and experts began to speak one by one, briefly explaining the trump cards they possessed and the power they could contribute. However, given Liu Nian's impressive speech, the power they possessed was naturally no match for his.

After everyone finished speaking, Wang Mian and some staff members needed to consolidate the data mentioned in their speeches, so they announced a 10-minute recess.

As everyone left the venue, almost everyone present rushed to add Liu Nian as a friend.

This guy is a real big shot; it'll definitely do us no harm to build a good relationship with him now!

Putting aside the power he wields and his astonishing combat prowess, the flag he holds alone is enough to terrify anyone.

By this time, news about the Banner of Exile had already reached the ears of the Druid players.

When they first heard the news, they didn't believe it, but Liu Nian shared the flag's attributes in the channel, and someone took a screenshot and sent it to them. After seeing it, these Druid players felt... like the sky had fallen.

"How could such a thing exist?!" Matt's face turned ashen, and Billy's black face turned ashen too!

Yale's eyes darted around as he considered a solution.

The newly joined Dakari and his group were wondering if they had been exposed and if there was any chance of escape...

Liu Nian simply released the flag, which immediately unsettled the traitorous gang.

Ten minutes had passed in the administrative hall when everyone returned to the meeting. The atmosphere of this meeting was much better than before because Liu Nian gave everyone a lot of confidence. With him backing them up, plus the combat power brought out by other guilds, everyone realized that the human players were not weak at all!

Wang Mian spoke again: "Alright, let's discuss the second topic: which guilds will serve as the defensive force, which will be the main combat force, which will be the auxiliary force, which will be the logistical force, and which will be the mobile support force..."

The second topic raised by Wang Mian, "the division of functions and allocation of power among guilds," sparked another round of discussion.

Under the silent threat of Liu Nian's banner of exile, and in an atmosphere where the basic strengths of each faction were largely transparent, the discussion, though heated, remained orderly.

Ultimately, through multi-party coordination and voting, a relatively fair preliminary plan gradually took shape.

The core of the defense will naturally be undertaken by the Azure Council forces directly under Wang Mian, as well as some medium and large guilds that are good at defending cities. They will use Azure Town and its surrounding satellite strongholds as the main battlefield to build the first solid line of defense.

The main combat force consists primarily of elite assault forces from the Dragon-based guild alliance of Wuzhan (including Dragon Abyss, Dragon Soaring, Dragon Luan, Dragon Nightmare, and Dragon Calamity), Yelnerina's War Bear Guild, and Selena's Rhythmic Sword Guild. They will serve as the main combat force, participating in large-scale frontal battles or carrying out raiding missions at crucial moments.

The functions of support, logistics, reconnaissance, and medical care were also assigned to the corresponding guilds. Several large guilds took the lead in organizing a large number of small and medium-sized guilds. For example, "Craftsman's House" was responsible for engineering and equipment maintenance, "Ranger's Eye" strengthened the reconnaissance and early warning network, and Afu's "Witch Guild" and Shen Ruhui's "Dark Star Guild" were responsible for providing support for legion-level spells (war skills) during large-scale battles and responding to special battlefield environments.

After repeated discussions, Liu Nian and his forces were designated as a mobile support force. He would operate independently of the regular command chain (but would maintain strategic coordination with the command headquarters), leading the floating city, spider elves, elite Abe bee people, and other forces that could be mobilized, as a strategic and tactical strike force capable of rapid deployment and handling a variety of complex situations.

His troops are likely to appear wherever a crisis arises, wherever a stalemate needs to be broken, or wherever there are high-value tactical targets.
