âA new guild?â
âA new guild will join us?â
âIs that for real?â
The moment everyone heard Rozenâs declaration, they were surprised and immediately questioned whether that news was right or not. Even Agil, Klein, and Kirito were no exception. They were equally shocked as the rest of the Clearers.
âNew members? At this time?â
âNot to mention itâs a whole guild?â
âIs that even possible?â
Kirito, Klein, and Agil said in succession.
Of course, Zahad couldnât miss this opportunity.
âWith all due respect, Chairman Rozen.â Zahad said with a ridiculing face: âItâs true that we just suffered a heavy loss due to Aincrad Liberation Forceâs retirement, but that doesnât mean anyone can just join, no?â
What Zahad was trying to say was quite obvious.
âIf the guild was not up to our standard, then theyâll simply become a dead weight.â
Zahad casually said it, as if forgetting that he has just suggested to include lower-level Players in the Raid.
Of course, it was only for this Raid, and they were only invited to bolster the numbers, and that was clearly different from joining the Clearers permanently like Rozen suggested, at least that was what Zahad believed.
In response, Rozen just shrugged and said.
âI do think that strength is important, but I believe the most important is character. Even if one was strong enough, yet keeps causing trouble, the Clearers will get tired of them, and get rid of them eventually, donât you think so?â
Rozen said while smiling at Zahad.
âWhat did you sayâ¦!?â
Zahad, who realized that Rozen was referring to him, spontaneously stepped forward in anger.
But this time, Rozen didnât even let Zahad make a move.
âKnow your place!â
The smile on Rozenâs face suddenly changed into an intimidating glare toward Zahad.
âI donât want Red Wings to become a guild that will attack players even though they are criminals, but I donât have a choice if Divine Dragon Alliance is never short of Orange Players. Do you really want me to spell it out for you before you understand?â
It was as if the harsh words Rozen just said became a spike that held Zahadâs foot in place. Zahad couldnât say anything back, but his face said everything.
No matter what Zahad said, Red Wings was the strongest guild. If he decided to ignore Rozenâs warning here, Divine Dragon Alliance will definitely be in for a rough ride.
âUnderstood?â Rozen sneered and said, âsay something if you understand, you can at least do that, canât you?
Zahad clenched his fist as he could sense the harsh glares from the Players in all directions, and he could barely contained his anger.
For someone as ambitious as Zahad, being scolded by Rozen in public like this was simply humiliating.
However, it was not like Zahad could do anything to Rozen either. Rozen was the Clearersâ commander who upheld his record of having zero casualties up until now. If something happened to him, heâd have to answer to all Clearers. He may be not afraid of Red Wings, but there was nothing he could do against all Clearers.
âI understandâ¦â Zahad had no choice but to endure this humiliation and suppress anger, then mockingly said: âI sure hope that Chairman Rozenâs decision this time is not wrong.â
After that, Zahad returned to his guild members, who also had disgruntled look on their faces.
Rozen then shifted his focus back to everyone.
âI had just learned about this news yesterday. Of course, I didnât let a guild join us on a whim. Argo will explain the details to you.â
Argo cleared her throat, and everyoneâs attention shifted to her.
âThis is actually the request from my client, which is the guild that wishes to join us. So, I visited Chairman Rozen to ask for his approval, and he did.
In public, Argo refrained from calling Rozen casually and added âChairmanâ because it was a formal situation.
âThe guild that wishes to join us is a guild that was formed recently. They only have about 17 members. However, each of their membersâ level is well within the Clearersâ average, which is 40 or above. Their strength is undoubtedly top-level; their equipment is definitely on par if not better than our top players. Although theyâre not as strong as Red Wings and didnât have as many members as Divine Dragon Alliance, I can say for sure that theyâre stronger than Fuurinkazan.
Argo then added.
âThe leader and vice-leader of the guild, in particular, is definitely way stronger than most Clearers. Well, this is just my personal opinion, so I might be biased, but I believe they belong in the top 5 Players. On second thought, they may be around the top 3.
Among the top three Players!
Argoâs statement obviously shocked the Clearers as it was hard for them to believe.
âThis is reallyâ¦â
âIs that for real?â
Kirito, Agil, and Klein looked at each other in disbelief.
âTop three?â
Even Rozen frowned, because yesterday, Argo didnât tell him about it. She simply told him about the guild in general. Rozen didnât expect that Argo would value them this high.
Zahad, who was skeptical from the very beginning, asked.
âThen whatâs the name of the guild?â
That was also everyone elseâs question.
Argo then answered immediately.
âKnights of the Blood Oath.â
Argo said so.
âThe guild is called the Knights of the Blood.â
Argo then looked toward a certain direction and said.
âLook, there they come.â
Everyone instantly followed the direction that Argo looked at, and in the next second, everyone could clearly see it.
âPap pa pap pa pap paâ
They saw a group of players with rhythmical footsteps entering the area where the strategy meeting was held. These Players were dressed in red and white throughout their body, the weapons in their hands were shining. They definitely got an aura around them.
There were only about a dozen of them, but it was like a thousand horses just entered the area as the solemn atmosphere permeated the air.
Seeing this group of Players, the Clearers were shocked; some of them even gasped in surprise, but that was not simply because of this flashy entrance.
There was another reason for that, which was their leader.
âThisâ¦â¦â
Agil was dumbfounded.
ââ¦â¦No way?â
Klein was paralyzed.
âHuh?â
Kirito couldnât take his eyes off their leader.
âWaitâ¦whatâ¦!?â
Zahad was shocked.
Even Rozen was also shocked at this very moment.
âA girl?â
Yes.
The leader of the guild was a female player.
Moreover, it was a very beautiful female player.
