Chapter 2024: Forced From the Guild
"Let's discuss it. The Shadow Guild is getting stronger and stronger now. How should we face them next? If their strength continues to increase, I'm afraid it will threaten our rule."
A flash of embarrassment flashed across the city lord's face. After all, he was the one who said he was supporting the Shadow Guild.
"I think they can't talk to themselves. They wanted to support them at first, but now they want to suppress them. I'm afraid it's not good." A person next to him said it immediately, which made the city lord's face even more ugly.
"Now it's not just my business, it's everyone's business. It's everyone's business. Now many civilians have turned to them. Nearly one-third of the adventurers in the city are from the Shadow Guild." , and they even have a lot of power in other cities. If it continues to develop, the status of everyone here will be in jeopardy. "
This is not an alarmist statement. After all, the controllers of many cities and city alliances are not city lords, or they are not the original city lords, but guilds that have developed one by one. This situation is very common.
Therefore, their worries are not unfounded, but are real.
Another person said: "But it hasn't been long. I believe they won't do such a thing. Otherwise, their attitude would have been shown long ago. After all, they have long been the most powerful force."
In fact, this is a shadow clone that has been controlled. Because of its relatively high status, what he says is still very influential. After the others heard this, their gradually firm attitudes began to waver again.
The city lord glanced at this guy. This guy was usually quite smart, so how could he be so confused about this kind of thing? Could it be that he took advantage of others? This is not impossible.
"I don't want to damage our reputation and image, but it is too dangerous to continue like this. I have received news about the alliance from the city lords of other cities, and we need to do something. If we don't suppress the development of the Shadow Guild, The consequences will be disastrous." The city lord simply brought other cities in, which was not a lie.
"What, City Lord, you have actually united with other cities, you are not taking their benefits, are you?"
Can this kind of thing be said openly? Is this guy an idiot? Everyone is looking at this guy.
As a result, another person jumped out and said: "Is the relationship between other cities and us good? Once the Shadow Guild is suppressed, our city's strength will not be their opponent at all, and it will be annexed."
Is this going against the city lord? The city lord felt that today's meeting was so strange, and why there were always some funny things happening. He is obviously very smart at ordinary times,
Why are you all idiots now?
Or is it that they have always been like this, but they just never noticed it.
Just when the city lord wanted to say something, a group of people suddenly entered the city lord's mansion.
"What do you want to do? Who let you in?" The city lord was very surprised because he had not received any notification from the guards. In this case, either the guards have been eliminated, or the guards have rebelled.
As for leaving one's post without permission, he didn't believe in such a thing. After all, this was a meeting, and during meetings there were always guards surrounding him. Even if a few people are AWOL, it's impossible for everyone to be like this.
"Dear City Lord, hello, I am the leader of the Shadow Guild, you can call me Shadow." This sounds like it is not a name, but a code name, and many people like to use code names.
In fact, especially for powerful beings, people rarely call them by their first names. It is more appropriate to use codenames or titles.
"People from the Shadow Guild? Who allowed you to break into the City Lord's Mansion?" The City Lord's face became even more ugly.
Don't these guys usually behave very well, otherwise they wouldn't have been indulged until now. Who would have thought that they would suddenly run up to him, acting almost like a rebel. Do they know that they are going to deal with them? Is this someone tipping them off? No, today is obviously an impromptu meeting, no one knew about it in advance.
Moreover, the news about how to deal with them was just revealed by him. There is no way he could have tipped off the news himself. Even if someone rebels, there is no signal transmission at all.
He doesn't know that these puppet clones and shadow clones are all the same person, and they don't need conventional means to communicate. Just use it directly to your soul to make spiritual contact.
"Haha, although I don't know the specific things, I seemed to have heard something just now. You are going to deal with us."
Before the city lord could say anything, Shadow continued: "Originally, we wanted to give you a surprise, city lord, that I have broken through to the seventh level. From now on, our city will be one of the upper cities. Just you, city lord I really don't like what you did." After hearing this, many people's expressions changed.
Level 7 is not an ordinary level, they know more than ordinary people. Although special powers are not allowed to be used in the native world, only some people with special contributions and special identities can use them.
But there is an exception, that is, those above the seventh level, they have special privileges. Strong men above level seven can freely use their power as long as they do not cause permanent harm to the native world.
Therefore, those seventh-level experts can kill at will here. As for causing damage, the will of the world will directly control it. For completely controlled puppets, the will of the world will not worry about what trouble they can cause.
"Well, that's really gratifying. I'll hold a banquet to congratulate you later."
The city lord's tone became stiff and dry, and a hint of bitterness flashed in his eyes. The seventh-level powerhouse was the first in this nearby city. As long as there is no problem with this person, no one can deal with them.
"No, I'll hold the banquet in person, but it's time for you, City Lord, to give up your position. This is not because we are the first to attack, but because you want to deal with us." Shadow looked at him without hesitation.
Suddenly, an official next to him stood up and said: "I firmly support all the decisions of the new city lord. The guy before was really incompetent. Look what he has done in these years."
This guy was a controlled clone, but when one person stood up to object, the others moved closer. It's true that everyone doesn't want to be the first, but everyone also doesn't want to stay and die.
