As Shi Feng produced two rather worn-looking design blueprints, Fang Shihan had initially been unconcerned, thinking that Shi Feng was being rather impulsive to fall out with those major guilds. After all, while the top experts of those first-rate guilds might be far inferior to the superpowers, they still had at least two to three hundred thousand Tier 3 players, with some even reaching as many as four hundred thousand. For a kingdom siege battle like the one at Twin Towers Kingdom, that kind of numerical advantage was absolutely not insignificant.
After all, Zero Wing's entire Tier 3 class roster had only just surpassed 1.2 million players, which was merely at the average level compared to the current major superpowers.
However, when Fang Shihan glanced at the text on the blueprints, she froze.
"Guild Leader, you're not joking with me, are you?" Fang Shihan couldn't help but ask.
Although she had weathered all kinds of storms in Mythic Illusions and lost count of the treasures she had seen, the Black Iron Rank airship and Mythril Rank war puppet before her looked like something straight out of a dream, no matter how she looked at it…
Currently, airships were something one of the five great super guilds had already managed to obtain, but it was only a common-grade airship, far inferior to the Crimson Dragon Airship. As for war puppets, in all of Mythic Illusions as far as she knew, the strongest were only three Black Iron Rank war puppets, permanently stationed at the guild headquarters and guarded in rotation by Tier 4 NPC guards.
"Do you think I'd have any reason to?" Shi Feng looked at Fang Shihan's gaze full of disbelief and couldn't help but laugh.
He could understand Fang Shihan's skepticism. Black Iron Rank airships and Mythril Rank war puppets were indeed not items that should be obtainable at the current stage, let alone design blueprints—with the right materials, they could be mass-produced indefinitely. That kind of power, in the current era, would be absolutely world-ending.
"Alright! I'll reject those guilds right now!" Fang Shihan broke into a radiant smile, a hint of excitement gleaming in her eyes.
She was more than happy to comply.
Although she had long been accustomed to a position of power and prestige as the vice president of Mythic Illusions, her heart still couldn't help but surge with excitement and anticipation.
If such power were to be revealed, winning this Twin Towers Kingdom defense battle would be absolutely certain.
Shortly after, the five first-rate guilds and numerous second-rate guilds that had been recuperating and developing in the surrounding kingdoms received Fang Shihan's forceful response.
There was no embellishment or extra words—just a single character.
Scram!
In an instant, all five first-rate guilds and the numerous second-rate guilds were left stunned.
"Arrogant! Absolutely too arrogant!"
"Zero Wing doesn't take our five great first-rate guilds seriously at all!"
The presidents of the five first-rate guilds, gathered together in one place, flew into a rage at Fang Shihan's unified response, stomping their feet and cursing in the conference hall.
In the past, in the Divine Realm, the major superpowers had been overwhelmingly dominant, and guilds like theirs—which could only survive in the cracks—had no choice but to endure. But now, with the invasion of NPCs from the outer world and the entire Eastern Continent engulfed in flames of war, the major superpowers had no choice but to come begging to first-rate guilds like theirs who weren't facing kingdom wars, in order to hold on to the territories and foundations they had worked so hard to build.
Yet now Zero Wing, which was facing imminent catastrophe, actually dared to tell them to scram—as if they didn't even know how to write the word "death"!
"Arrogant! Let Zero Wing be arrogant while they can!" The president of the first-rate guild Holy Seal Dynasty sneered as he read Fang Shihan's response. "Once the battle at Twin Towers Kingdom begins, we'll see how arrogant Zero Wing can be when they don't have enough manpower to deal with it!"
"Exactly. Since Zero Wing looks down on us, we'll go help those superpowers instead. Then we'll see how Zero Wing regrets today's decision!" Another first-rate guild's female president nodded in agreement. "When the time comes and Zero Wing wants to ask for our help again, it won't be so easy!"
The major superpowers had all sent people to invite them, and the Star Ring Guild had even offered numerous generous and sincere terms. They had no worries about finding a new home.
When their five first-rate guilds joined forces, they could deploy a full 1.6 million Tier 3 experts, along with over sixty Tier 4 players. Excluding the gap in top-tier and peak experts compared to the superpowers, they were absolutely not inferior to an average superpower—and that was where their confidence came from.
When their five first-rate guilds went to assist Star Ring and successfully repelled the NPC army from the outer world, they didn't believe for a second that Zero Wing wouldn't regret today's decision.
When Zero Wing came crawling back to them for help, they would see just how they could manipulate them.
The other three guilds all nodded in agreement, feeling it was necessary to teach Zero Wing a lesson—that without their help, defending Twin Towers Kingdom would be extremely, extraordinarily difficult.
