Chapter 636 Sanctions and Counterattack
A few days later, Avis received a series of requests for help from the top leaders of the Evergold Crown Chamber of Commerce and the Secret Rite Society.
The number of bandit groups encountered by the caravan on the road suddenly increased dramatically. They could encounter two or three robbers in each trip, and many of the robbers were high-level professionals.
If Avis had not reduced the number of caravans in advance and arranged for several high-level family guards with ninth-level disposable rare items to guard several major caravans, there would probably be heavy casualties this time.
Even so, his caravan was indeed safe, but the cost of escorting him for such a trip had already reduced the profit to a minimum. If he encountered a strong enemy and used the ninth-level disposable rare item, he would suffer a huge loss.
Moreover, the already small share of the Evergolden Crown Chamber of Commerce in the empire was also suppressed. The Ironthorn Chamber of Commerce and the Mithril Rose Chamber of Commerce suddenly inserted themselves into the business scope of the Evergolden Crown Chamber of Commerce and began to drastically reduce prices.
At the same time, some bad rumors about the Hengjin Guanmian Chamber of Commerce began to spread. Some people said that the healing potions and universal antidotes sold by the Hengjin Guanmian Chamber of Commerce were adulterated, causing companions who could have been saved to be seriously injured and died.
There were even people who went to the Chamber of Commerce to cause trouble and act like a spoiled brat. Whenever this happened, there would often be some city guards who happened to be patrolling at the door. Once the Chamber of Commerce bodyguards showed signs of taking action, they would immediately rush in to stop them and at the same time use an excuse to collect a fine from the Chamber of Commerce.
As for the Secret Society, the situation is even more complicated.
Many players from the Mystic Society camp were suddenly hunted down in large numbers by unidentified people while they were out on missions.
After being resurrected in confusion and ready to seek revenge, everyone discovered that most of their attackers were also players.
On the game forum, related posts quickly began to flood the screen. Many well-informed players came out to share the information they had, and finally pieced together the whole story.
A few days ago, several medium-sized player forces organized by indigenous peoples within the empire, such as the Whisperers and the Dawn Council, suddenly became hostile to the Conclave.
At the same time, the two also issued tasks: every time a member of the Secret Society is hunted down, they can get rich camp contribution rewards, which can be exchanged for many rare training resources, and the amount of rewards increases according to the strength of the target.
As a result, many players who were attracted by the generous bounties immediately began hunting down the members of the Secret Society who were still kept in the dark.
It's not like Avis hadn't warned them before, but the chaotic nature of the players meant that many people just skipped Avis' warning as a plot animation.
After all, as the largest player camp in the empire, they have been attacked for no reason, so they naturally have to retaliate.
Feeling humiliated, people from the Bai Guang, Xing Chen and other clubs regrouped and led their men to fight back aggressively. However, they were shocked to find that the enemy's strength was far beyond their expectations, and there were also high-level indigenous people!
At a time when mainstream players are still stuck at level 39, the high-level natives are like world bosses, and remain an insurmountable chasm.
Fortunately, the Secret Ceremony Society also had the protection of high-level professionals specially arranged by Anvis, who immediately entangled the opponent's high-level professionals, thus preventing major casualties.
However, under the joint attack of multiple forces, the isolated and powerless players of the Mystic Ceremony Club were still in a disadvantageous position.
Even though it is known as the strongest foreign force, the Secret Rite Society is not strong enough to single-handedly fight against all the forces of the Evergrande Club.
At present, the original scale of the Conclave has begun to shrink, and some players can no longer bear the pressure and have begun to change jobs. At the same time, they have begun to exchange all their accumulated contributions for resources, which has directly caused a phenomenon similar to a bank run.
There are even some players who take on tasks from their new employer before switching jobs, and then start persuading other players to do the same.
In addition, there were letters from Prince Lanno, Harvey and other people who knew the whole story, expressing their concern for him and asking him implicitly if he needed help.
After reading these messages, Avis pinched his brows helplessly and began to think about how to deal with them.
The current situation seems to be that he is in unprecedented trouble.
Due to the established rules, when the conflict is limited to the younger generations, the Olivendi family is not convenient to intervene directly.
If he doesn't give in, the "sanctions" from the Evergrande Club will cause all the forces under his name to completely collapse under a series of blows.
The attack by the Evergrande Club was indeed quite professional, and it must have been done more than once in the past.
But in fact, the Eighth Prince and others got a crucial point wrong. The Secret Ceremony Society and the Ever Gold Crown Chamber of Commerce were not actually his core forces, but only experimental organizations under him.
Not counting the [Circle of Truth] which is almost composed of him alone, the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce controlled by Raphael, the Alliance of Glory where the Man in the Mirror is located, the trial-takers in the dream world, and the secret base on the secret island are his real core forces at present.
What Anvis is thinking about now is not how to deal with the Hengjin Club, but how to deal with the attention of the imperial high-ranking officials who will be attracted by him.
From the moment he saw the direction of his future path at the heads of state meeting, his way of doing things changed.
Instead of simply moving away from the center of the vortex, one should actively intervene, making the vortex spin more violently and drawing a wider web of fate into it.
A secret list appeared in his hand. On this list, there were dozens of names of forces of different sizes and backgrounds.
Although he did not intervene in anything during these few days, he recorded all the forces that showed their fangs to him, either overtly or covertly.
After reading the list carefully, Avis folded it, put it in a magic envelope, and then mailed it.
Next, it was time for reckoning. . …..… With Avis's efforts, the situation took a 180-degree turn.
As an eighth-level prophet who has already seen the direction of his own path, he can really do whatever he wants without the interference of other ninth-level strongmen.
Everyone who was paying attention to the conflict between Avis and the Evergrande Club was surprised to find that all sorts of problems seemed to have arisen in the forces that were originally hostile to Avis.
Some forces were stalked by their former enemies and attacked at critical moments, causing heavy losses.
Some forces had internal strife and simply split and disbanded.
There were even some leaders of forces who were directly caught up in the suddenly appearing overlapping areas, where they encountered unknown entities and died inexplicably.
This situation is very similar to the work of a prophet, but the prophet who went to investigate the situation found that there was no obvious sign of interference in their fate.
If it is not a coincidence, then it must be the work of a very high-level prophet.
