When the others saw him returning the equipment to the warehouse, they immediately understood.
"You're crazy, boss! That's 40 million in liquidated damages!" Daofeng widened his eyes in dismay.
"Have you thought it through, boss?" Lan Hai couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing more than putting all the money I've earned in these years into it. There's nothing to be afraid of." Black King Caesar smiled faintly, "I've thought a lot during this period. Instead of being bound by the Skyrim Consortium, it's better to be a free player, which suits my personality better."
Everyone knows it.
Black King Caesar's character and pride will never allow him to submit to others.
Blade gritted his teeth and said, "Since you have retired, why should I stay in Storm? I will retire too."
"Oh, you and I are thinking the same thing." Bai Musen laughed, "I have saved enough for the liquidated damages over the years. A studio without the boss is nothing."
"Boss, count me in."
Lan Hai also nodded firmly.
"And I."
"Add me one!"
"Without the boss, we wouldn't be here now. It's better not to stay in this studio."
At once, a crowd of people surged, and the elite members of the guild all stood up.
Many of them were there in the early days of Storm’s founding, or have been with Storm for many years.
Out of more than a thousand people, unexpectedly five or six hundred responded at once.
Chapter 32: Against the Tide
"What are you doing? You just quit as soon as you said you would. Do you think this is a joke? You are so grown-ups, yet you still act without thinking?"
The Black King Caesar was stunned for a moment, then cursed after he realized what was happening.
These brothers have followed him for so many years, and he has seen them all suffer and work hard. Now that they have finally achieved something, how can they be dragged down because of him?
Leaving Baofeng was his own wish, he didn't want to involve other brothers.
"Boss, we have already thought about it. We decided long before you disappeared that no matter what you do when you come back, we will follow you."
Bai Musen's eyes were firm. "Besides, why can't we be willful for once? People live for themselves. If we can't even follow our own wishes, then what's the point? Besides, we are not helpless."
"Kashiwagi is right, Boss. What did you say when you founded Baofeng?"
Blade was dark and emotional. "No matter now or in the future, as long as we join Baofeng, we are all brothers. Brothers should share happiness and hardships. It was not easy for the studio back then. It was you, the boss, who worked hard and ran around, leading us to develop step by step."
"Now that everyone is blessed, can they forget their origins and forget who brought them to where they are now?"
"That's right, Brother Blade and Brother Kashiwagi are right. You are the only boss I recognize in this life!"
Lan Hai was the dumbest and didn’t know what to say, but his eyes were determined from beginning to end.
"If you hadn't helped me back then, I don't know what I would be like now."
"We survived the difficult times, didn't we? Boss, as long as you have the brothers here, we won't let you suffer alone."
Chu Ci and others were infected and shouted.
There were many people who responded later. If ordinary players saw this, they would probably be shocked. Most of these people were famous figures on the Empire Rankings, and at this moment, they would rather breach the contract and follow the Black King Caesar.
One can imagine what kind of personal charm the Black King Caesar possesses.
Looking at the scene before his eyes, even the iron-willed Black King Caesar could not help but be moved. However, these brothers could act impulsively, but he could not. "Why don't you think about your family?"
"My father taught me that the most important thing in life is not to forget your roots."
"It's just liquidated damages. At worst, I can borrow money from relatives and friends around me. If that doesn't work, I can take out a loan. Professional gamers make a lot of money anyway."
"Boss..."
Black King Caesar had to admit that he was indeed moved.
There seemed to be something choking in my throat, and my vision was a little blurry.
"Boss, the brothers only need your words."
Blade was a little anxious when he saw that Black King Caesar was silent.
"Yes, boss, just one word, the brothers will fight you to the death. This is how Baofeng was founded, and it is still like this now, and it will never change." Baimu cast a steady gaze.
Looking at the real faces in front of him, Black King Caesar was touched.
Yes, just like Ahan said, it is nothing more than an idea. It seems that these guys are more open-minded than me.
Black King Caesar took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
"One of the things I'm most thankful for in my life is having you brothers here. I won't say any nonsense. As long as you are willing to follow me, the Black King Caesar, I will never let you go hungry as long as I have a bite to eat."
"Brothers who are going to go with me, return your equipment to the studio. We will gather at the teleportation array!"
As soon as the Black King Caesar's voice fell, hundreds of people took off their equipment and gathered next to the warehouse, blocking the area around the warehouse.
Among them are veterans of Storm Studios as well as those who joined the studio later.
Other people who came from the studio were also reluctant to let go, but they were all overwhelmed by the liquidated damages in the agreement. However, some people made up their minds.
"Boss, I'm going to raise some money, you guys wait for me."
"I might be here for a while, I hope you won't mind."
Some people also offered to help.
"If there are brothers in need, I can lend it to you first."
"Ahao, if you need money, just tell me directly."
In the Iron Blood Fortress, a mid-level fortress captured by Storm, many members of Storm and other players were looking at the scene in front of them in shock.
The former guild elites, wearing spare gold or silver suits, came to the teleportation array in groups, chatting and laughing. The leader among them was the former president of Storm, Black King Caesar.
The team was huge, including some members who arrived later and, after hearing the news from their companions, took off their equipment without hesitation and followed.
From six or seven hundred people, it increased to more than a thousand people.
If we include those who make the decisions, the number could reach over two thousand.
Looking at the brothers around him, Black King Caesar felt immense pride and emerging strength in his heart. These brothers were willing to give up everything to follow him, and he must live up to their choice.
The wandering dragon should return to the sea, and the sea will not welcome me!
The news that Black King Caesar fled Storm with a large group of people caused a stir throughout the empire and sparked more than ten pages of discussion on the forum.
Listening to the news reported by his subordinates, Yuwen Hao narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although he guessed that some people might follow the Black King Caesar and leave.
But he still seemed to underestimate the meaning of the word "brother".
"This Black King Caesar is indeed extraordinary."
When I went online the next day, I also learned the news about Black King Caesar from the forum.
The uncle took away a considerable number of Storm Elites, including Dim Blade, Chu Ci, Silent Past, A King, and Jiu Tong. Almost every one of them was a well-known figure on the Empire Rankings. Dozens of secondary professional players in logistics also left.
After this, there was a wave of withdrawal from Baofeng within the organization, with nearly four to five thousand ordinary members leaving.
The overall strength of Storm was also damaged, especially in high-end combat power.
Although the position of the number one guild is still uncompromising, it is hard to tell who will win or lose if a war breaks out with the Empire Epic. After all, the strength displayed by each high-end combat force on the battlefield is far beyond the ability of ordinary players to contend with.
After Black King Caesar left Storm.
Apart from Yuwen Hao's guild alliance, many guilds have extended olive branches to Black King Caesar. After all, anyone can see the value of Black King Caesar and this group of top players.
Black King Caesar, who rejected all the generous conditions offered by Yuwen Hao, naturally could not join these guilds. He founded a guild called "Against the Tide" with his brothers who left Storm.
But when the guild was first established, it was very difficult. In addition, it is still a fortress war version. Even if there are many top players, it is still unable to display its functions due to system restrictions.
Chapter 33: The Third Floor
There are players in the empire who worship the Black King Caesar, and naturally there are also those who are waiting to see the joke, or perhaps even more.
When you stand high, they wish you could step on their shoulders, and when you lose power, they wish to step on you under their feet. This is the bad nature of human beings.
However, the Black King Caesar was destined to disappoint them.
When the guild was founded, the president of Rose Heart, Red Rose, presented two low-level fortress cores as a gift and announced that Rose Heart and Counter Tide had formed a cooperative relationship.
This move shocked many players.
After all, they have always believed that there is an irreconcilable contradiction between Black King Caesar and Red Rose. It is no wonder that this phenomenon has been revealed in various disputes from the previous online games to the early era.
However, they never thought of the deeper origins.
After Rose Heart announced the alliance, many guilds, such as Star Sand, also reached cooperative relations with Against the Tide. The presidents of these guilds were either good friends of Black King Caesar or had received favors from him.
With my approval, Maple Leaf Sister also announced an alliance, and the same was true for the Glorious Alliance where Pachinko was. Moreover, at my suggestion, Pachinko planned to propose to his father that he should inject capital into the Counter-Tide Guild while fully retaining the autonomy of Black King Caesar.
Now that the actual financial investment has been made, what Nishio lacks is the in-game resources.
Because of the agreement in the contract, all the members who followed Black King Caesar, including Black King Caesar himself, returned all their equipment, supplies, props, etc. to Storm. Even though the support provided by Rose Heart was still slightly insufficient.
This is not a problem for me.
"Auntie, use your contributions to recycle the equipment discarded by guild members. Rent 100 sets of dark gold equipment and 2000 sets of gold equipment from Nichao. The standard equipment produced by the logistics department will be provided to Nichao first."
The standard equipment obtained from the Mage Tower of Loblanche has greatly armed the ordinary and middle-level players in the guild during this period of time, helping them to grow quickly.
Now the guild has successfully opened the second underground area of the illusion of the City of Mocris and started exchanging blueprints for level 90 standard equipment, although this will take some time to accumulate.
However, a lot of standard equipment between levels 80 and 90 have been stockpiled, which can just provide equipment support for Ni Shi.
As for the issue of funds within the game, there is no need to worry.
"Sister Chang'an, sign a private cooperation agreement with the uncle and provide 10 gold coins of assistance. Let them pay the debt and interest with high-grade materials."
Although there are many high-end materials in the Xiluossel Pure Land, they cannot meet all the needs of the Star-Moon Workshop.
Most of the people in Against the Tide were former Storm elites. As long as their equipment is updated, they can return to those high-level maps and provide the workshop with the lack of high-level material sources. It can be said to be mutually beneficial.
In this way, the development of the counter-tide in a short period of time will not be a problem.
The only thing I'm worried about is whether Yuwen Hao will take action.
After hanging up the calls with my aunt and sister Chang'an, I unexpectedly received a call from Gray Flowing Years.
"What's wrong, Brother Liunian? Is there any problem with the copy?"
"No, I have already contacted those Blue Shadow brothers. You don't have to hide it from me."
Gray Liunian said directly.
I was a little surprised, and even more surprised when I heard the other party say that he planned to let the brothers of Blue Shadow secretly help Alice.
"Isn't this the guild you founded, brother?"
"That's why I don't want to leave it in the hands of such a fool."
Gray Liunian's voice was cold.
I stuck out my tongue. It seemed that he already knew Qiu Lu's identity. Although he said that, the fact that he took the initiative to contact the Blue Shadow at the beginning proved that he regarded Alice as his own.
After listening to Gray Liunian's plan, I couldn't help but be shocked.
As expected of the former Cuckoo, he is even more ruthless in his actions. His plan is to use the investment of the Sky Group to support that group of brothers, and try to avoid those who are involved with Alice and Dark Irene, or interfere with Qiu Lu's decision-making.
At the same time, provide some private information to Gray Liunian.
Keep your own brothers in the enemy's lair.
This idea is so brilliant that I am looking forward to seeing Qiu Lu's expression when he finds out that the elites he has cultivated with so much money are almost all from the Gray Age.
Naturally, I expressed my support for this and said, "If you need any help, just tell me."
The undercurrent is raging.
After I hung up the phone, this word came to my mind. What happened in the past half month has brought about earth-shaking changes in the empire.
The Skyrim Consortium moved in, the alliance of consortium capital was established, the heron was recruited by himself, the Blue Shadow attacked Alice, the Black King Caesar left Storm and established Counter Tide, etc.
Everything seems to be fueling the development of the Freedom Fight expansion pack.
