Chapter seven hundred and sixty-six soldiers approaching the city, where is the president?
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Early this morning, Jiang Wenliang rushed to the high-level conference room of Eternal Peak.
He originally wanted to find Cheng Qianmo, but found that the rightful owner was not there.
At this moment, only Fan Hanyu is dealing with daily affairs in the conference room.
"Lao Fan, where is the president?"
Jiang Wenliang asked with some confusion.
Fan Hanyu stopped the pen in his hand, then raised his head and said, "I don't know."
"He just told me last night that he had to go out for something."
"Is there anything important?"
After hearing the news that Cheng Qianmo was not in the city, Jiang Wenliang frowned in a "Sichuan" shape.
He never expected that at such a critical time point, Cheng Qianmo would become the hands-off shopkeeper.
"News just came from the secret whistle. Just an hour ago, they discovered the expeditionary force of the Cangqiong Guild!"
"What's even more frightening is that this expeditionary force is very high in terms of both its size and average level!"
"They must be preparing to attack the city!"
"Furthermore, the reputation of our Eternal City has taken a turn for the worse. Now there are a lot of extremely unpleasant things being said outside, which is really infuriating."
"This must be someone with ulterior motives who is secretly adding fuel to the flames."
"Let's think about countermeasures first."
The construction work of heavy firepower weapons that Jiang Wenliang was previously responsible for came to an end yesterday.
So next, he put most of his energy into monitoring the nearby area.
It doesn't matter if you don't see it, you will be shocked when you see it.
Not only were traces of a large number of enemy troops discovered, but the direction of public opinion seemed to be being manipulated in a direction that was not conducive to Eternal Peak.
So he wanted to find Cheng Qianmo as soon as possible and discuss countermeasures with him, but he didn't see anyone.
After hearing the news reported by Jiang Wenliang, Fan Hanyu didn't look very good.
To be honest, if they really wanted to fight head-on, with Eternal Peak's current strength and city defense configuration, he would really be worthy of the Sky Guild's expeditionary force.
But the issue of public opinion gave him a huge headache.
"Hey, the president released two powerful Japanese men before. Although he got incredible rewards, it also played a great role in promoting our territory construction work."
"But the negative effects are also very obvious, and I even feel that the gains outweigh the losses."
"The way Masato Shiraishi used his voice, he obviously wanted to use a knife to kill people and cause civil strife in our Xia Kingdom."
"We all fell into his trap!"
"If there are no special events at the moment, it is really difficult to change the direction of public opinion."
"It's really worrying."
After Eternal Peak lost its backbone, both Fan Hanyu and Jiang Wenliang started to worry.
It now seems very difficult to remove the label of "traitor" from Cheng Qianmo's head.
For a while, they didn't know how to deal with it.
"Hey, let's take a step and see."
"We can only pray that the president has some backup plans."
"First raise the combat readiness status to level one and have all guild members in the city on standby 24 hours a day."
"Then quickly recruit the people who have gone out and let them return quickly through the tree boundary."
"I'm afraid a war is coming soon, and we must take it seriously!"
Now that the issue of public opinion cannot be solved, Fan Hanyu can only do his part.
Even if Cheng Qianmo is not in the city, he must ensure his eternal peak and be ready to fight at his best at any time.
After all, the expeditionary force of the Cang Qiong Guild is not someone to be trifled with.
Jiang Wenliang knew that this could only be done at the moment, so he immediately turned around and left to arrange relevant orders.
Just like that, the entire Eternal City suddenly started to move.
Not only are all shops in the city closed, but any outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering from now on.
In just one hour, the city was cleared and entered a state of first-level combat readiness.
Every guild member went to the guild warehouse in an orderly manner to collect war preparation materials according to the rules previously established by Cheng Qianmo.
Since the last battle with the Dark Brotherhood, Cheng Qianmo has formulated strict wartime regulations.
Before a war begins, all guild members can receive sufficient supplies to prepare for emergencies.
Recently, Eternal Peak has recruited approximately 2,500 newly awakened people above level 60, bringing the total number of members to an astonishing 7,000 people.
Although these newcomers were quite capable, it was their first time that the guild actively distributed supplies, so they all seemed particularly excited.
After all, it is absolutely impossible for other guilds to have such terrifying financial resources as Eternal Peak.
Even if there are, their president may not be willing to distribute them according to the number of people.
So after they received sufficient amounts of various potions, portable bombs and other props, they all felt that joining Eternal Peak was a very correct decision.
And just based on this little thing, I feel that Cheng Qianmo's pattern is simply terrifying!
He is not in the same dimension as other guild leaders at all!
As time passed by, the news of martial law in the entire city of Eternal Peak spread like wildfire.
Everyone is vaguely guessing that a war is about to begin.
But the difference from before is that this time there are far fewer passers-by who hope that Eternal Peak will win.
Everyone is now looking forward to the next battle with the mentality of watching a show.
There are even some people who have secretly prayed in their hearts, hoping that Eternal Peak will be defeated.
There are two main reasons for this situation.
First, Cheng Qianmo’s monopolistic behavior really made many people unhappy. They felt that Eternal Peak was too overbearing.
As the saying goes, "If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them."
There will never be a shortage of people suffering from “red eye disease” in this world, and no one wants others to live better than themselves.
Secondly, many people believed the rumors and felt that Cheng Qianmo was "traitorous" by letting Japanese strong men go.
After all, the more powerful the Japanese nation becomes, the people of Xia will eventually suffer.
Ordinary people wished that the Japanese country's national power would be damaged, but Cheng Qianmo gave up the excellent opportunity in vain because of some "ulterior" purposes.
Therefore, the current public opinion situation is very unfavorable to Eternal Peak.
Now the expeditionary force of the Sky Guild is constantly heading towards the Dark Forest.
Based on the speed of their rapid march, it would take up to 2 hours to reach the city.
At this extremely critical moment, Cheng Qianmo was not in the city, but appeared somewhere outside the city.
What's even more surprising is that, dressed in black, he actually mingled with a group of strangers!
