Chapter 157: Concile Of Defense : Rescue Mission
***
Real world...One day before...
All the guild leaders who were part of the coalition's defense council received an invitation to a video conference in the real world, this kind of conference was extremely rare, because it was already necessary to have thousands of guild leaders disconnecting at the same time and reuniting in front of their computer screens on VPN-Discord, an anonymous video chat platform, because that was the second problem, the anonymity...
Unlike star players like Lucifer or Cesar, who were mediated almost all the time, guild leaders had to remain as anonymous as possible, to avoid any interference from the real world on the game, some people like Charle de Montcalm alias Link who had the means to have a significant security did not care about that, But for most guild leaders, it was an essential security rule that every guild that had a lot of turnover had to avoid being known by anyone other than the executives and shareholders of their own guild.
Emma, who had just left Alexander an hour ago, was also invited, as it was one of the conditions that had been negotiated between Gael and Apophis for peace
Emma was sitting in front of Alexander's computer, she connected to VPN-Discord and entered the login and password of the game's forum, which directly identified the name of her character and confirmed her identity, but modified her character's name anonymously under the nickname "Rogue Alpha".
Suddenly, a VPN discord page opened, it was a black page, with thousands of unknown players names, but with their guild names in red, Emma who has been playing MMORPGs for years, recognized most of the guild names, it was unbelievable for her, who had always seen this world of elite MMORPGs from a distance like most players....
All of a sudden a person named "Rogue One (Lord Of War)" started to speak and said:
"Thank you for coming to my urgent invitation...I have invited you here because of a problem that I think affects us all..."
"As you know, the war on Cronos I is over, but the main problem was that the players could not reappear on the planet itself, so the game system made them reappear in the capital of the faction, i.e. Terra, the capital of the former Federation..."
"The problem is that the planet, was very strongly impacted by the civil war between Federated and Imperials and the planet is completely closed for almost a week ... Worse according to the words of some of our players, the players on Terra are very violently persecuted, it is melting in an intense way spam kill ... "
she was suddenly interrupted by the name Rogue Squire (Hyrules):
"Yes is we know all to whom the fault! Eclipse alone has caused several million deaths!
Most of the people present confirmed this:
"Yes, because of you we have lost millions of credits!
"Eclipse's dog!"
"Shame on you!"
Rogue One spoke up again:
"That's enough, peace is now signed, I did not call you here to insult each other.... But so that together we can find a solution and save our players!
Rogue Patriot (Renovatio Imperii):
"What do you propose Rogue One?"
Rogue One (Lord of War):
"We need to mobilize our fleets and put pressure on this new state"
Rogue Omega (BlackJack):
"what about our fleets?"
Rogue One (Lord of War):
"All of our fleets from each of the guilds on the defense council.
"Separately we are too weak even for the Superguilds, but as most of the first order guilds maintain an average of 5 to 10 corvettes, if we join forces we will have enough leverage."
Rogue Best ( The Scourge):
"This is an interesting proposal, give us an hour to discuss it with our shareholders and guild leaders"
Rogue Kolios ( Vaulth ) :
"Yes I agree with Rogue best, give us a short hour so we can discuss this with our deputies and shareholders."
Most of the other guild leaders agreed, so Rogue One said:
"All right, I'll let you guys discuss it for an hour, see you later."
Emma disconnected, and thought about it, she didn't have much to send, since Apophis had already requested most of the best players and ships to go to Terra...
After an hour everyone reconnected and it was Rogue Patriot who spoke first:
"Renovatio will participate"
Rogue Best (The Scourge):
"The Scourge will also participate..."
Rogue Jupiter (Spartan) :
"Spartan will also participate"
Rogue Omega (BlackJack):
"Of course we will also participate"
Rogue Squire (Hyrules):
"We were rather neutral, but if all the SuperGuilde want to participate, we can't refuse our responsibility, we are part of it!"
Rogue One (Lord of War):
"Very well, I will launch an anonymous pool, if we get more than 90% support, we will have the means to put pressure on the imperium..."
Most of the top guilds that participate in the defense council approved this project and voted "For", after all they had all the ambition to become Superguilds, so they have to align themselves with the True Superguilds and show their power...
Rogue One (Lord of War):
"Well the vote came back 98% positive, so we're going to form a fleet in the Osir Prime system to get to Terra Prime, once we're together we'll go to Terra..."
"We need to discuss something else now..."
"Who among us will represent the coalition?"
There was a great silence, after all, revealing one's identity to the whole world was considered a definite disadvantage...so for about twenty seconds, nobody spoke...
then Rogue Squire says:
"And why not Rogue Alpha? After all, it is largely because of them and Apophis that our players died on Cronos I..."
again most of the leaders agreed on this point so rogue one said:
"Alright, I'll start a pool to see if the guild leader of Eclipse should lead the coalition fleet in this mission..."
the poll was much closer, there was 56% yes, 38% no and 6% abstention but in the end Lotus was designated to be revealed to the public and negotiate with the imperium...
Rogue One (Lord of War):
"Very well since everyone agrees, we will gather our fleet in the unpopulated solar system of Osir Prime and the guild leader of Eclipse will be assigned to lead the fleet and negotiate with the new authority of Terra..."
Emma disconnected herself from the question of what just happened...
It's fucking come from the trap! By appointing her as the leader of the expedition, she would become one of the most famous guild leaders in the game! No more anonymity, she would probably become as famous as Apophis.
She must quickly take measures to protect her private life, otherwise she risks endangering Alexander, his family but especially his guild!
