"As one of the five major forces, you have the best resources. In this case, I believe what you said can protect the people around you!"
"But now, the west of the city has been divided into Shuguang and your other three major forces."
As Xiao Lingwei spoke, she deliberately glanced at Jiang Jinsong and changed her words when she saw Jiang Jinsong's swaying appearance.
"No, after today, there may only be two small forces, Dawn Team and you guys. The University Alliance pie is already in our Dawn bag."
"I dare to ask Captain Zhao and Hall Master Cai, what can you do to ensure that you can seize resources from me, Shuguang?!!"
Only then did Zhao Youwei and Caimi really feel the sense of oppression!
The woman in front of me is right!
Even if Hua'er Team and Rainbow Hall join forces! There is absolutely no chance of winning!
Zhao Youwei gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly!
"What is the purpose of Lord Barbarian King to annex the west of the city?!!"
Xiao Lingwei's expression was indifferent, and her voice did not contain any emotion when she spoke.
"For more people to live!"
Zhao Youwei didn’t believe this high-sounding reason!
Caimi didn’t believe it even more!
Looking at the university league, Jiang Jinsong still looks like a loser!
There was no sadness or joy on Chen Moli's face, but Luo Chi beside Chen Moli had his mouth wide open and his eyes wide open! He looked like he had been greatly shocked!
Zhao Youwei and Caimi already know that, just as Xiao Lingwei said, the leaders of the University Alliance have fallen, and they have almost no chance of winning!
What's more, they are facing the Dawn Team, known as the Barbarian King!
The Barbarian King might just send out a small team and conquer the University Alliance!
what to do?
Caimi and Zhao Youwei looked at each other from a distance, with complex emotions in their eyes...
Caimi frowned tightly!
"Rainbow Hall is an independent team! I don't want to join other teams, nor do I want to leave Chengxi!"
Xiao Lingwei listened to what she said with a smile, and then asked.
"Master Cai, may I ask if this is just your own idea? Or is it the idea of everyone in Rainbow Hall? Can you make a decision on behalf of the thousands of lives in Rainbow Hall?"
Caimi pursed her lips and said no more.
Xiao Lingwei asked a question that she had never thought about...
Although she is the leader of Rainbow Hall, Caimi doesn't know how loyal her subordinates are...
As the leader of Rainbow Hall, she certainly doesn't want to rely on other forces, she just wants to be her little leader in peace...
But, what about other people? For other people...
Is there any difference between being at Rainbow Hall and being at Dawn...?
Even more...compared to Little Rainbow Hall, Shuguang should be a better choice...
Caimi thought to herself, feeling even less confident...
Especially when I saw a few people from the Arknights team and Pozhu team, they seemed to be looking better than before.
Zhao Youwei is more confident than Caimi...
The brothers of Team Hua'er have been following me since a long time ago!
Your own decision! It’s your brothers’ decision!
Zhao Youwei didn't say anything. He Zhiyong and Li Zhiqiang, who were standing behind Zhao Youwei, expressed their opinions in unison!
"Brother! We will definitely follow you to the death!"
Xiao Lingwei answered immediately.
"Even if you join Dawn, you will not be deprived of your captain's rights! Each force is still autonomous! Just look at Team Pozhu and Team Arknights and you will know. Dawn is definitely not a violent and plundering team!"
Zhao Youwei lowered his head and was silent for a long time, then looked up at Xiao Lingwei.
"Why does the Barbarian King insist on annexing the west of the city? Your territory is in the east of the city. Isn't the east of the city no longer enough for Dawn to survive?"
Xiao Lingwei shook her head.
"Lord Barbarian King needs to keep moving up! In order to protect everyone who believes in him!"
"It is precisely because Shuguang's headquarters is developing well that we came to the west of the city to expand our team!"
"The world situation is like this...the east and west of the city are all part of Long'an City! As the only true king of Long'an, Lord Barbarian King is his mission to unify Long'an!"
"If Lord Barbarian King cannot peacefully unify Long'an City, other true kings will come here sooner or later!"
"However, not all true kings with absolute power are as unwilling to fight as the Barbarian King. They just want more people to survive!"
"You can think about it, if you meet other true kings who come to the west of the city to unify the city. How many of your so-called five major forces are powerful enough to fight against them head-on!"
"If a war breaks out, how many of you will survive?!!"
After Xiao Lingwei finished speaking, she did not forget to look at Caimi and Zhao Youwei!
Leave enough time for them to consider...
When Zhang Fan heard Xiao Lingwei's words through the screen, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth!
I never saw this girl being so capable!
He, Zhang Fan, is not doing it for the sake of public life!
Even to this day, Zhang Fan himself does not know the significance of unifying the west of the city...
Power?
Maybe!
However, when the number of subordinates reaches a certain level.
What is the difference between leading ten thousand and twenty thousand?
Crystal nucleus?
Indeed, as the Barbarian King, Zhang Fan has a steady stream of crystal core income every day!
But in the apocalypse, when food and clothing security is no longer an issue, can more crystal nuclei bring any more material pleasure?
For Zhang Fan... it's no longer possible...
The only thing that is reliable and realistic is that it can actually improve your strength!
But at the same time, when you have many superpowers under your command, as a captain, you cannot just focus on improving your own strength!
If you only insist on improving your own strength, you will become like Xu Feng sooner or later!
And everyone can see the fate of Xu Feng and his like!
Therefore, only by regularly improving everyone's strength can we ensure that the entire team develops upwards!
The consequence of this is that your own strength may often not improve as quickly as fighting alone!
Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh deeply when he thought of this!
It seems that I have indeed taken a road of no return from the very beginning!
Now it is difficult to get off the tiger, so we have to move forward step by step according to the established trajectory!
When Xiao Lingwei was meeting with the five major forces.
Huo Xiaoyu and Black Lotus King have already led their respective teams, divided into two groups, and are heading towards Xicheng Agricultural University, the base camp of the University Alliance, from different directions!
At Xicheng Agricultural University, even though Jiang Jinsong, the leader of the alliance, is not here, Qiao Ran is in charge, and everything seems to be calm...
Qiao Ran was sitting on the leader's seat where Jiang Jinsong once sat. He was closing his eyes and imagining that if he were really the leader, all the people under him would listen to him... and the university alliance would definitely be better than it is now...
While Qiao Ran was thinking about it, Ding Cheng suddenly broke into the conference room dedicated to the alliance leader in a panic!
Qiao Ran was startled by the loud sound of opening the door. After seeing Ding Cheng's panic face, he couldn't help but angrily scolded him.
"What are you doing?!! Why don't you knock on the door when you come in?!! Is there a ghost chasing you behind you?!!"
Ding Cheng didn't even have time to catch his breath, so he said in a panic.
"No...it's not good...the Barbarian King is coming!!!"
Qiao Ran rolled his eyes at Ding Cheng.
"What kind of crazy are you kid talking nonsense here! The Barbarian King is in the eastern suburbs! When did he come to the west of the city!"
Ding Cheng's anxious face was covered with sweat, and he stretched out his hand to pull Qiao Ran to the window.
"It's true! It's true! Come and see!"
Qiao Ran was forcibly pulled to the window by Ding Cheng...
The window of this office can directly see the school gate.
Qiao Ran looked outside, his eyes widened...
A group of people was standing at the school gate! The leader was holding a big flag in his hand. Qiao Ran recognized it at a glance. This was the flag of Shuguang!
Is it really dawn?!!
Or is someone pretending to be the Barbarian King?
After all, in the west of the city, there has been a case of cheating by using the name of the Barbarian King!
The flag is constantly being waved!
Qiao Ran gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go! Go down and have a look!"
Ding Cheng nodded and followed Qiao Ran downstairs to the north gate!
Many teachers and students have gathered at the school gate. Everyone is watching the people outside the school gate warily and dare not act rashly!
Seeing Qiao Ran coming, the crowd automatically separated into a path.
Qiao Ran almost reached the school gate before he confirmed that the person who came... was really someone from Shuguang...
The reason why Qiao Ran is so sure is not because of the dawn flags they hold high!
But it was a face among the crowd that almost everyone who had been to Sky City knew...
Dark and shiny skin, cold and ruthless eyes...
The most powerful general under the Barbarian King! The Black Lotus King!
Qiao Ran's breathing was a little messy, and he couldn't help but look behind the Black Lotus King.
I made a rough estimate, about 200 people.
After counting the number of people, Qiao Ran relaxed a little...
The Black Lotus King has 200 people, but there are more than 500 people with powers in the University Alliance. Although Jiang Jinsong took away nearly 100 people, there are still 400 people with powers...
Our side has the numerical advantage...and it is our own territory...
Just as Qiao Ran was thinking about it, the Black Lotus King pointed at Qiao Ran and said.
"Are you the director of the University Alliance?"
Qiao Ran was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the Black Lotus King actually spoke first without asking first.
But the Black Lotus King asked, and Qiao Ran had to answer.
So after being stunned for a moment, Qiao Ran nodded again.
He said, "Yes, the acting leader of my university alliance is Qiao Ran, a former professor at the University of Finance and Economics. May I ask why the Black Lotus King comes to our university alliance?"
The Black Lotus King raised his eyebrows.
"Since you can recognize me, you must also know that I am now a general under the Barbarian King, right?"
If other people introduce themselves and say that they are such-and-such a general, Qiao Ran will definitely spit at that person with disdain and laugh loudly at that person for bragging!
But when these words came from the mouth of the Black Lotus King, there was no sense of violation at all.
He can indeed hold up the title of general!
Qiao Ran frowned slightly and nodded slightly, indicating that he knew the relationship between the Black Lotus King and the Barbarian King!
The Black Lotus King said again.
"Since you know that I was sent here by Lord Barbarian King, you should also know the purpose of my coming here, right?"
When the Black Lotus King asked this question, Qiao Ran did not express his position again.
The Barbarian King sent the Black Lotus King to the University Alliance...
Of course Qiao Ran had some conjectures in his mind, but he didn't hope that these conjectures were true!
In particular, Jiang Jinsong is still at the five-party talks. As the acting alliance leader, there are some things that Qiao Ran can't make decisions about!
Seeing that Qiao Ran didn't speak, the Black Lotus King smiled.
"It seems that you also have the answer in your mind, so I think you can make the right choice. Just be smart and not waste everyone's time!"
Qiao Ran couldn't help but clenched his fists and slowly loosened them.
"I don't understand what the Black Lotus King said. Our University Alliance is just one of the many forces in the west of the city. I don't remember any conflicts with Lord Barbarian King's Dawn Team in the past!"
Qiao Ran paused and continued.
"So, I don't know the purpose of your visit this time. I hope Lord Black Lotus can tell you directly!"
The Black Lotus King smiled and thought to himself, this guy actually wants to act stupid!
Was it because he was sizing up the Black Lotus King and didn't dare to speak directly?
The Black Lotus King nodded angrily.
"Okay, okay. Since you said you don't understand something, I'll tell you straight away!"
The Black Lotus King raised his head slightly and stared closely into Qiao Ran's eyes.
"Our Dawn Team officially invites your university alliance. Is your university alliance willing to join our Dawn Team?"
Qiao Ran didn't expect that the Black Lotus King would actually speak out directly about this matter!
I didn’t expect that the pressure from the Black Lotus King staring at me would be so strong?!
In fact, just after the Black Lotus King finished speaking, everyone in the University Alliance was shocked!
Everyone couldn't help but started talking quietly!
Some bold students even asked again.
"This... what does joining Dawn... mean...?"
The Black Lotus King smiled, "That's the literal meaning. Sign a new follower contract with Lord Barbarian King, become Lord Barbarian King's contracted follower, and become a part of Dawn!"
The Black Lotus King thought he had made it very clear.
But those people in the university league still looked confused.
It’s like I haven’t even figured out what’s going on!
After all, the incident happened suddenly, and the university alliance has encountered so many things in the past few days!
It’s normal for everyone to be overwhelmed and shocked!
Qiao Ran was stunned for a while, but as the acting alliance leader, even though the situation was so outrageous, Qiao Ran still chose to ask tentatively.
"What will happen if our university alliance refuses?"
Qiao Ran had already restrained his emotions, but when he said these words, Qiao Ran still breathed quickly unconsciously!
The Black Lotus King spread his hands and said helplessly.
"If your university alliance rejects our invitation from Dawn, then this invitation to join the team may become a letter of challenge!"
When the Black Lotus King said this, his tone became colder, and his eyes emitted an icy cold light, which made Qiao Ran swallow his saliva nervously!
Then, the Black Lotus King changed his voice again and said with a smile again.
"However, I believe that since your university alliance can become one of the five major forces in the west of the city, it must be far-sighted. At such a critical time, it is not necessarily possible to leave the Roman Avenue and enter a dead end, right?"
Sweat was already breaking out on Qiao Ran's forehead!
