Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 268 War Mobilization Order Shocks All Sides
The official membership is 80, and there are three main regiments. The first main regiment directly under Su Yu has now expanded to 20 people, the second main regiment has 10 people, and the third main regiment has 8 people. The latter two main regiments combined are not even as many as the first regiment.

Of the remaining 42 people, 15 are non-combat personnel in logistics and life service occupations.

The remaining combat personnel numbered 27, divided into 54 battalions, each with 5000 men.

Apart from that, guild income is not much different from before. Most of the income from resource sites remains unchanged, except for a slight increase in taxes.

The total monthly income of the three cities was originally 137 million gold, but now it has become 157 million gold, an increase of 20 gold.

In addition, with the expansion of the guild's territory, an extra 14 gold was generated, bringing the guild's total monthly income to 222 million gold. After deducting monthly operating expenses of 80 gold, the net monthly income is 142 million gold.

The net profit is 1704 million gold in one year.

One group will receive 360 million gold, while Su Yu can use 120 million gold.

In addition, as the guild leader, he also has extra income, accounting for 10% of the total profit, which is 170 million gold, bringing the total to 290 million gold. It has been two years since the last time, totaling 580 million gold.

This money had been in the guild's account since Su Yu wasn't there, and he could withdraw it at any time.

In addition, 30% of the guild's total net income is held in the guild treasury, which contains 510 million gold coins annually. As the guild leader, he can freely dispose of these funds, but they can only be used for guild development.

Su Yu casually took back his income and then withdrew a large sum of money from the guild treasury, using it to upgrade the Heavenly Punishment Warship.

We're about to have a major battle with the Celestials, so we need to strengthen our core fighting force.

Other turrets do not need to be upgraded. All Divine Thunder Towers have already been upgraded to level four. Each level five tower requires 1500 gold to upgrade. A single Heavenly Punishment Warship has 30000 Divine Thunder Towers, and upgrading them all would require 4500 million gold, which is unaffordable.

However, the Heavenly Punishment main cannon and the four Heavenly Strike main cannons can be upgraded.

Heavenly Punishment Main Cannon (Tier 3): Draws upon the earth's ley line energy or mana to condense a powerful beam of light to attack the target.

Attributes: Charge time 15 seconds, damage 10000 million, attack range 400 kilometers, energy consumption 6000 million, attack frequency once every 15 minutes.

Upgrading the Heavenly Punishment main cannon to level 2 requires 500,000 gold, and upgrading it to level 3 requires 2,500,000 gold.

Sky Strike Main Cannon (Tier 3): Draws upon the earth's ley line energy or mana to condense a super-powerful beam of light to attack the target.

Attributes: Charge time 10 seconds, damage 2000 million, attack range 200 kilometers, energy consumption 800 million, attack frequency once every 10 minutes.

There are four Sky Strike main cannons in total. Upgrading to level 2 requires 100,000 gold, and all four cannons require 500,000 gold. Upgrading to level 3 requires 500,000 gold, and all four cannons require 2,000,000 gold.

Upgrading all items to level three requires 1300 million gold, enough to buy a level ten magic weapon with some left over.

However, considering the defensive strength of the Heavenly God Society's headquarters' protective array, Su Yu decisively spent the guild's savings of several years to upgrade the main cannons of the Heavenly Punishment Warship to the third tier. When combined with the 30000 fourth-tier Divine Thunder Towers on the ship and the burst of the Sea-Suppressing Strike, they would surely be able to break through the Heavenly God Society's headquarters' protective array.

Guilds should make the necessary preparations, mobilize those who need to be mobilized, and upgrade those that need to be upgraded.

Su Yu planned to prepare for half a month. After issuing the order, his subordinates would handle it, while he would go overseas to meet up with Cang Hai and prepare to refine the Four Symbols Star Soul Banner first.

He had no idea that his order would mobilize the entire guild and have a huge impact on the surrounding forces.

Less than an hour after the war mobilization order was issued, Gu Zhi Qiu received a message from the guild leader of a guild located more than 500,000 kilometers east of Wan Du Island:

"Brother Gu, what is the purpose of your Thousand Star Palace's war mobilization?"

"Of course, it's war."

"Who is the target?"

Gu Zhi Qiu replied with a smile:

"Brother Li, rest assured, it's not directed at your association."

"Oh, then I'm relieved."

I closed the communication, and less than a minute later someone else came to inquire:

"Brother Gu, what is the purpose of your Thousand Star Palace's war mobilization?"

"Rest assured, this has nothing to do with your association."

"Brother Gu, you..."

Gu Zhi Qiu.
Only the guild's upper echelons knew about the war against the Celestials Guild; those below the middle echelon only knew that war was about to break out, but they did not know who the target of the war was.

Before war mobilization is complete, the target will certainly not be announced, lest the gods be prepared in advance.

For this reason, all the major guilds within a two-million-kilometer radius of Wan Du Island sent inquiries, including the guilds that had been expelled from Wan Du Island before.

After some explanation, everyone realized that the Thousand Star Palace's target was not them, and they were all relieved.

But while they relaxed, the numerous guilds, large and small, located on the Flying Star Islands were on high alert. "Could we be their target?"

At the meeting, Jing Tong, the vice president and guild leader of the Flying Star Guild Alliance's number one guild, the Sea Dragon Guild, loudly proclaimed:

"I suggest the guild prepare for war to avoid being caught off guard."

Sitting at the head of the table, President Kong Luoshu pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head, saying:
"It's unlikely to be us. The Flying Star Sect won't stand idly by. They've already destroyed our Divine Boat Alliance, which is now the only one that can dominate all the resources of the Flying Star Islands. They'll be an even more terrifying behemoth than the Thousand Star Alliance. They won't do the work for someone else."

"If it's not us, then who is it?"

"Besides our two families, who else in this East China Sea region can rival the Thousand Star Palace?"

Kong Luoshu was silent for a moment, then said:
"Don't panic. Let me contact Su Yu, the president of the Thousand Stars Hall."

The same situation wasn't limited to the Hailong Society; the Shenzhou Gang, another major overlord guild in the Flying Star Sea, was also holding a meeting to discuss the matter.

The entire East Sea became tense as the Thousand Star Palace mobilized for war, and all the major guilds unanimously withdrew their forces to avoid being caught off guard.

As the strength of the Thousand Star Palace continues to grow, its influence also expands. It is now one of the top forces in the entire East China Sea. As the president, Su Yu can make all the forces in the East China Sea nervous if he stomps his foot.

When Su Yu received the inquiries from the leaders of the two major guilds, he was accompanying Cang Hai in the sea to hunt down a dragon.

"President Kong, you've come at the perfect time. I happen to have something to discuss with you."

Su Yu pressed down on the soft, flowing black hair beneath her and said with a smile:

"This operation is not targeting the Flying Star Alliance or the Divine Boat Sect, but rather an old enemy of mine. However, we will indeed have to pass through the territories of both alliances. I hope your alliance will not misunderstand."

Kong Luoshu laughed heartily:
“This East Sea does not belong to me. It is perfectly fine for your guild to be passing through. I will give the order that there will be no fools to intercept us.”

"So much the better."

Su Yu chatted with Kong Luoshu for a while with a smile, and then chatted with Zhang Bonan, the leader of the Shenzhou Gang, and also told them about it.

After closing the communication, Su Yu gently patted Yue Qing's hair:
"continue!"

He tilted his head back and exhaled softly.

"These two guild alliances are too powerful; we can't afford to offend them for now."

According to the information currently collected by the guild, these two guild alliances belong to Shenzhoumen and Feixingmen respectively. Each alliance consists of one top-level guild, two large guilds, and more than a dozen medium and small-sized guilds. The guilds have more than three million direct official members and more than ten million affiliated members.

These two guild alliances are backed by two sects, and can even mobilize Earth Immortal level experts to take action in critical moments. Their overall strength and war potential are extremely terrifying.

Although the Thousand Star Palace is powerful now, it is still no match for the alliance of these two guilds.

The reason why the two guild alliances reacted so strongly to the Thousand Star Palace's actions was mainly because they were afraid that it would get involved in the war between the two alliances.

Although the Thousand Star Palace is no match for any of the alliances, it has enough power to change the balance between the two alliances. As long as it joins either side, the other side will absolutely be unable to withstand the alliance between its mortal enemy and the Thousand Star Palace.

Therefore, both alliances have always attached great importance to and paid close attention to the Thousand Star Palace, and they will immediately know about any major developments.

It would be a lie to say that Su Yu had no thoughts about these two guild alliances.

While Wan Du Island is not bad, it is still far inferior to the Fei Xing Islands in the center of the East China Sea, both in terms of population and resources. If he could occupy the Fei Xing Islands and dominate the East China Sea, with the support of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, his power would reach an extremely exaggerated level.

Once I achieve the status of a terrestrial immortal and become the leader of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, I will be a renowned force even among all of humanity.

But while the idea is good, we don't have enough strength to support it right now.

To deal with the two guild alliances, we must also deal with the two sects behind them. At the very least, we will have to wait until Su Yu himself reaches the Earth Immortal realm before we have that ability.

"It's still early, no rush. We'll have to wait at least twenty or thirty years."

He's young now, he can afford to wait.

Thinking of this, Su Yu withdrew her thoughts and suppressed the idea, pressing down gently on her head, which was bobbing up and down in front of her.

After a short while, he exhaled softly and closed his eyes to rest.

Yue Qingsi looked up and leaned against him, her small tongue curling up at the corner of her lips as she swallowed a smear of white liquid.

After resting for a while and catching their breath, Su Yu led Yue Qingsi out of the Zhenhai Gate. Outside was the deep sea, the water was clear. Su Yu looked into the distance and saw a water god's true form, thousands of meters tall with a human body and a snake tail, standing in the sea. Layers of colorful light slowly rippled out from the water god's true form.

Su Yu looked up at the true form of the water god, which was sacred, majestic, and worshipped by all the waters, just like a deity.

"It's so beautiful!"
