MMORPG : Ancient WORLD

'He looks a bit troubled, but not to a level that I expected him to be, knowing he could be asked to solve the situation,' Alex thought, quite surprised by Alden calmness.

"The Organization is not interested in the City Establishment Token, nor are we interested in the students with legacies,"

"However, The Organization doesn't like the approach of threat and violence the two families have taken, so we would appreciate it if you could make them change their approach to be civilized, but if you can't do it, just find out information about the perpetrators of this situation," Alex said with a smile.

"I will handle the situation to the best of my abilities," Alden said, not making any empty promises while being relieved that there were no definitive demands.

Alex had a casual conversation with Alden while he pretended to wait for a reply from the higher-ups, and after ten or so minutes, he decided to leave as he needed to meet with Lady Rosalba in less than half an hour.

"The Organization can provide you with the fire element source crystal, but it will take a few weeks to acquire it," Alex said as he stood up, ready to leave.

"I will wait for the good news," Alden said, with a smile that vanished the moment Alex exited the room.

"Alden, I am busy right now with my legacy quest," A female voice echoed in the room.

"Anahit, Someone from your family is causing trouble to someone who is related to the Shadow Oblivion Organization,"

"Meet me at the Lunar Paradise Hotel as quickly as you can so I can fill you in on the details of the situation," Alden said.

"I will be there in an hour," Anahit said, hanging up the call.

"Thirty Minutes Later"

"I don't think there is a need for an introduction, so let's not waste time and talk business," Alex said, seated in a luxury room before two beautiful ladies.

"Sir Aeon, It would be a grave insult to not know about you after your legendary accomplishments in the Gladiator Arena," Guild leader Aster said with a smile.

Alex took the appearance of Aeon to meet with the guild master Aster and Lady Rosalba from the Frozen Flower guild to discuss the details of the upcoming War.

"I believe your guild will be choosing the Battlefield War route, so when do you plan to declare it, and what is your plan for winning the war?" Alex asked.

There were three categories of guild Wars, with the most common one being the (Unofficial War) in which both guilds kill each other members, sabotage their trades, and do anything that could harm the opposing guild.

The second option was [Champion War], in which both guilds select a number of their player who had death battles, and their battle results will determine the winner of the guild war.

This method was rarely used among guilds as every guild war had too much on the line for both parties to place their fate in the hands of a few individuals unless they had absolute trust in the capabilities to win.

The third option was [Battlefield War], which any guild could declare on any other guild, and even though the challenged party had the option to decline the war, but that rarely happened among guilds of similar strength.

The challenged guild rarely declined to go to war because of the Debuff of 30% Health, Mana, and Exp, which their guild members would receive, and it would last for one month, but more than that was the loss of opportunity.

The guild that declared war was required to set a price for the winner, which could be up to 20% of everything the opposing guild owned in the game, but in return, if they lost, they would be penalized for double the worth they selected.

This was why official guild wars rarely happened because losing the war could cripple even a big guild, and if the challenging party lost, it pretty much destroyed their guild.

"We plan to declare war in two months, and with the two weeks of preparation period, the war should fully start in two and half months,"

"As for the plan of winning the war, we plan to leave the main guild city of the Hydra Guild alone for the first few days and target their three subsidiary guild cities that circle the main city,"

The guild cities were different from normal cities as there could be no permanent residents besides the guild members, with the only exception to this restriction being NPCs and players who did business in the city.

The difference between the main guild city and subsidiary cities was not only the vastly different number of individuals both cities could house but the main city also the privilege of hiring mercenaries and adventurers in their time of need.

"We plan to destroy the three subsidiary guild cities in the first four days, which will remove the threat of ambush on our army when we attack their main city and also weaken their player base,"

"As the dying player will not be able to join the war for seven days after death, we will use the last three days to our advantage and end the war with our victory," Lady Rosalba said, giving Alex a rough idea of their plan.

'A reasonable plan knowing they would stand no chance if they attack the fully fortified main city, but this approach will fail because there are not three subsidiary cities but are four,' Alex thought, remembering the events of his previous life.

The Hydra Guild had four subsidiary cities circling their main guild city, and while the three cities were known to the public fourth one was hidden, and even the majority of guild members didn't know about its existence.

The city was located inside a mountain away from any player's eyes, and it played a major role in the defeat of the frozen flower guild in his previous life.

In the state of war, no guild member could use any teleportation scrolls except the one that could take them to one of their guild cities, and having the ability to circle an army engaged in a battle and ambush them could significantly change the results of the battle.

In Alex's previous life, the traitor in the frozen Flower guild used a Sixth Rank scroll to obliterate the camp with guild leader Aster and two more elders, including hundred of strong guild members.

This incident happened on the seventh day when the frozen flower guild had just broken through the barrier protecting the city, and victory was within their reach, but they never expected someone to bypass all their protective barriers and take out key commanders of their army.

At this time of confusion and panic, the Hydra Guild members who were waiting for the signal lunged on the frozen flower guild member army, attacking them from every side.

In the next few hours, 80% of the frozen flower guild army was slaughtered, making them lose the war.

"Your Guild will lose the war because your information is incomplete," Alex said, making both ladies stare at him in utter horror.
