Chapter 1727 1727: Breaking Down to Smaller Units

"What the hell! Are you kidding me?"

Although Dawn's First Ray had mentally prepared himself for Fearless's unpredictability, he was still taken aback and almost hit his head against the wall when he heard Fearless's statement. He exclaimed, "What do you need so many people for? Don't you think that's enough trouble already?"

At this point, the city battles in <<Rebirth>> had been fought several times, and every main city was extremely wary of outsiders.

Not to mention having seven or eight thousand people suddenly appear in another main city; even having seven or eight hundred people show up would catch the attention of the opposing city.

Originally, the difficulty of this task was already quite significant, and now bringing so many people along was just asking for trouble, wasn't it?

"Exactly!"

To Dawn's First Ray's surprise, instead of refuting his concerns, Fearless calmly replied, "I'm just looking for more trouble."

"Damn it!" Dawn's First Ray shouted angrily, "Are you helping us or setting us up?"

Seriously, if a dozen members of the Quan Zhen Sect could take down the Son of the Holy Spirit, why on earth would they need this many people to tackle a Lord of the Demon Soul? Dawn's First Ray was beginning to doubt Fearless's intentions.

"Hehe!" Fearless chuckled, "I have no grievances with you, and you've even given us so much money. Why would I set you up?"

"I..."

Dawn's First Ray was momentarily stunned by Fearless's question, stammering, "How the hell would I know why you'd set me up?"

"I have my reasons!"

Fearless waved his hand dismissively, "If you don't trust me, I can't guarantee that we'll actually succeed in killing the target this time."

"Bullshit!"

Keenly observing, Young Master Beijing interjected angrily, "You're saying that a dozen of you can kill the Son of the Holy Spirit, but you can't take down a Lord of the Demon Soul?"

"It's not that we can't kill him!" Fearless said mysteriously, "It's just that this time is different from the last…"

"Stop acting smug!"

Seeing that Fearless still wanted to show off at this moment, Young Master Beijing became extremely irritated and shouted, "Do you think you have me all figured out? I can just refuse this mission!"

"Oh really?" Fearless narrowed his eyes and said, "You said that…"

"Boss Fearless",

Dawn's First Ray, being the more mature one, quickly intervened when he saw Fearless really about to leave, "He's still young; don't argue with him. You need people, and we'll comply with your wishes."

"Chen Shao, he—"

"Huashao, don't say anything!"

Just as Young Master Beijing was about to say something, Dawn's First Ray waved his hand, signaling him to be quiet. He then seriously said, "Boss Fearless, our two guilds have no enmity, right?"

"No!"

Fearless shook his head.

"And I can be considered friends with Iron Bull, right?" Dawn's First Ray asked again.

"He has never considered you an enemy", Fearless replied.

"Then that's good." Dawn's First Ray sighed, "Since we're friends, let's consider the last task as each relying on our own abilities. This time, let's be sincere. If we still collide in missions, we'll just have to confront it head-on. Scheming and plotting only ruins brotherhood. If this isn't a colliding mission, I'm willing to trust you unconditionally. Money is not an issue; I just want to help my brother salvage this task. I know the Quan Zhen Sect values loyalty as well, so I hope Boss Fearless won't put me in a difficult position."

"Dawn is being too serious!" Fearless smiled and waved his hand, "Our Quan Zhen Sect is quite principled; this time, we're definitely here to help. As for the money, haven't you already given it?"

"Alright, I'll trust you once more", Dawn's First Ray nodded firmly, "I'll call for people right away."

"Thank you, Dawn!" Fearless smiled slightly and cupped his hands toward Dawn's First Ray.

To be fair, Fearless didn't dislike Dawn's First Ray's character. Although he was a rich second-generation, he did tend to use money to solve problems, yet these rich kids generally handled matters with much more generosity than ordinary people.

There's no arguing with that; having money gives one confidence. Buying lessons is also affordable. If they can't buy lessons, they can still test friendships. The more friends, the more avenues, which broadens one's network. In theory, it could seem like a loss, but in reality, it's an unseen wealth.

So, generally speaking, Fearless preferred working with people who had a more generous character.

Dawn's First Ray's guild was different from regular guilds. Regular guild players were usually office workers or students who might be absent due to sudden circumstances, leading to lesser discipline and compliance.

But Dawn's First Ray's subordinates were all professional players hired by him. Therefore, Dawn's First Ray had absolute authority in the guild. When he called for a gathering, it only took a few minutes for his subordinates to arrive at the church entrance.

The scale of Dawn's First Ray's guild was quite impressive. With seven or eight thousand people standing on the street, it immediately filled an entire street, with crowds everywhere.

Television often speaks of "thousands of troops and tens of thousands of horses", but that's all just empty talk. This is merely thousands of troops, and it's already a sea of people. How large would a scene have to be to accommodate tens of thousands?

The aura of hired subordinates is different from that of wild subordinates. Seeing these players crowding the street, Fearless and the others couldn't help but be amazed.

Though these players might not match the Sanguine Alliance in terms of equipment, level, or even numbers, if a fight broke out, these seven or eight thousand could easily take on the Sanguine Alliance's tens of thousands.

Discipline is absolutely the foundation of teamwork. Most player teams in games can hardly claim any semblance of discipline.

"My brothers are all here!" Dawn's First Ray stood atop a high point, pointing at the sea of players before him, "Boss Fearless, do you have any instructions?"

"No instructions", Fearless replied with a smile, "Dismiss them on the spot."

"I…"

Hearing Fearless's words, Dawn's First Ray struggled to contain his urge to punch someone, saying, "Boss Fearless, you can't be joking, right? You called everyone here, and now you say to dismiss them? Do you think this is Sunday service?"

"What do you know?" Fearless replied, "Of course we need the people, but it depends on how to use them. If we just charge into Dark City like this, we probably won't even get through the gates."

"Then what do you want?"

Dawn's First Ray frowned and asked.

"You and Huashao should join our team first!" Fearless instructed.

"Alright!"

Receiving Fearless's order, although Dawn's First Ray and Young Master Beijing were reluctant, they still withdrew from their guild's team and sent a request to join Fearless's.

Fearless casually clicked confirm, pulling the two into the team. He then said, "We'll first scout Dark City, and the others should teleport in groups of ten, spreading out from various main cities." At this point, Fearless glanced at Dawn's First Ray and asked, "Do you understand why we're doing it this way?"

"Oh, oh, oh, understood."

Dawn's First Ray nodded repeatedly.

Dark City is so large, with a population of over a million, and it's impossible for everyone to know each other. Even throwing seven or eight thousand of Dawn's First Ray's subordinates in there wouldn't make much of a difference.

However, while seven or eight thousand people might not seem like much compared to a million, it's still not a small number, and gathered together, they would be quite conspicuous.

If they transported all these people into Dark City at once, they would surely attract attention. But if they did as Fearless suggested and broke down into smaller units, staggering the time and place of entry into the city, they would be much more discreet.

With that many people moving in and out of Dark City, adding seven or eight thousand players without anyone noticing would likely go undetected.

While this method might be a bit cumbersome, it was a very secure way of infiltrating. After all, no player would pay close attention to whether there were suddenly more strangers around them.
