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

Wang Mu frowned slightly, immediately understanding Wu Zhan's intention, and replied in a deep voice:

"Guild leader, are you planning to... use this opportunity to recruit and screen ordinary players to join the guild?"

"That's right." Wu Zhan nodded. "Although we've withdrawn from Azure Town, the Dragon Kingdom players can't disband. I plan to rename the Newcomer Guild to the [Dragon Abyss] Guild, and the [Dragon Soaring] Guild will be our first secondary organization and talent pool. We'll widely recruit Dragon Kingdom players who are willing to trust us, providing guidance and protection. You need to carefully observe and select promising, virtuous, and trustworthy individuals. Once they pass the test, they will be the fresh blood of the Newcomer Guild's future!"

"Understood!" Wang Mu's eyes lit up with fighting spirit. This was not only a mission, but also a heavy responsibility.

"For now, you should set up your base in Tooth Spike City. It's an NPC city, and Sun Yao knows its exact location. We'll proceed with the next steps once our own city is established."

"Understood, Chairman, I will do my best!" Wang Mu nodded. "However, besides Sun Yao, I may need a few more people to help me."

"No problem, just name who you want, and I'll take care of the coordination..."

In truth, no one knows what Wu Zhan is thinking.

Wang Mu and the [Dragon Soaring] guild are just the beginning. He hopes that in the future, each of the 36 members of the new guild will become an independent figure and grow into the leader of a new guild.

These thirty-six individuals will lead thirty-six legions to expand their territory in the cyber hell and establish an incomparably powerful Blue Star nation!

Now that everyone had gathered, Wu Zhan stood on a rock in the abandoned mine. Standing before all the newcomer guild members, looking at these core players—though few in number, each one brimming with energy—he took a deep breath and proclaimed loudly:

"Brothers!" he spoke, his voice cutting through the noise of the cave. "Look at that so-called main city behind us! Think about our predicament! It's been six months! The city has been in the hands of the Azure Council for a full six months! Yet we're still trapped in this tiny place like rats, watching the pigmen swagger around above us, watching those idiots in the council go to all that trouble with their so-called democratic elections, arguing and fighting tooth and nail over the smallest of gains!"

His voice suddenly rose, filled with long-suppressed anger and disdain:

"They told us to be patient, to obey, and to consider the bigger picture! But what was the result? Their best team was slaughtered like pigs by the ratmen! Their most prestigious speaker lost his head before he could even see the enemy's face! And they, these losers, these cowards! Now they're blaming us, the ones who dared to go out and find a way out!"

He paused, letting the anger fester in everyone's hearts, then changed his tone, becoming incredibly firm and fervent:

"But! I'm not standing here today to argue with them! Nor am I here to beg for their charity! I'm here to tell you, and to everyone still waiting to die in that dilapidated city—we, the Newcomers' Guild, are not playing along with them anymore!"

His gaze sharpened, as if it could pierce through the rock face and see into the distant horizon:

"They laugh at us for not having our own city? Fine! Then we'll build one and show them! Not in the pig-man's pen, not in the circle drawn by the council! We'll build our own city—Dragon City—on the ancient ruins of Ascalon, on the foundation of the magic-free rock!"

"That city had no double standards, no discrimination, no blame-shifting, and no incompetent people pointing fingers! There were only our weapons, our brothers, and the territory we conquered together!"

The sound of war drums resonated in everyone's hearts:

"I hereby announce that, starting today, the Newcomers' Guild will be officially renamed the [Dragon Abyss] Guild! Now, the first step in establishing Dragon City is within reach!" He held up the metal foil map high, his voice like thunder: "I have obtained the crucial clues. Liu Nian, Zhao Xinchun, Chen Suan, and I are fully prepared. Now, we need six fearless brothers to join us in obtaining the [City Establishment Order]!"

He stared intently at the crowd: "Anyone below level 30, confident in their abilities, willing to entrust their lives to me, and willing to entrust their backs to their brothers—step forward!!"

"Me! Boss, take me there!" a burly man wielding a giant axe shouted first.

"Count me in! I've wanted to say goodbye to those cowards in the council for ages!" an archer stepped forward from the crowd.

"And me!"

"Take me with you!"

……

The crowd was excited, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight eligible players stepped forward.

The others were also excited, but unfortunately, their level exceeded the requirements.

Wu Zhan's gaze was like lightning, quickly sweeping over the group:

"Zhang Han! Li Xun! Wang Tugang! Su Wan! Zhou Ming! Han Lesheng!"

The six people whose names were called came to the rock and stood with Liu Nian and the others.

"The rest of you brothers, don't be discouraged. It's not that you're not strong enough, but I need to make choices based on class combinations, and we're just the vanguard. If we're lucky enough to get the [City Building Token], great; if not, then we'll still need to rely on you!"

"The rest of you, come with our team first. I'll take you to Toothpick City to rest and recuperate. Once we get the city-building token, I'll take you to the level 100 city—Heart of Gears!"

After speaking, Wu Zhan swiftly drew the [Citybreaker] from his waist, its blade pointing directly at the outside of the mine, towards the Rusty Water Canyon, his voice resolute:

"Set off!!"

Ten figures were the first to leave the mine, followed by the remaining twenty-four players. Under the complex gazes of Wang Mu, Sun Yao, and countless other players, they departed from Azure Town.

The high-ranking members of the Azure Council were standing on the tower, watching this scene unfold, and none of them looked too pleased.

Wang Mian escorted them for a distance outside the city, and finally watched the ten people leave.

But Wang Mian knew that next time, Wu Zhan would definitely return in triumph.

Those fools in the council will beg him to take back control of Azure Town.

---------------------

Wu Zhan and his group marched through the leveling area, crossed the edge of the ratman's territory, and finally arrived at Tooth Spikes City next to Rusty Water Canyon.

The monsters and scattered ratmen encountered along the way were easily dealt with by the other members of the team who were eager to test the power of the new equipment, without Liu Nian even having to lift a finger.

"Haha, this new axe is awesome!" Wang Tu shouted excitedly. With a single slash, the double-edged battle axe in his hand, which emitted a dark red light, cleaved a ratman scout who had sprung out of the shadows in two from head to toe, splattering foul-smelling blood and entrails all over the ground.

His wild fighting style and arrogant attitude drew laughter from the crowd, which also eased some of the tension on the road ahead.

Liu Nian silently observed the new faces in the team.

Aside from Wu Zhan, Sun Yao, Zhao Xinchun, and Chen Suan, whom he knew well, he didn't recognize the others. However, judging from their skills, none of them were mediocre. In other words, Wu Zhan had truly built a purely elite guild.

His gaze lingered for a moment longer on Yun Xiangrong, who was known as the "Number One Thunder Mage" of Azure Town.
