I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

Iron Blood Banner's expression grew increasingly grim.

He had just felt a little smug because the Myth Guild had only sent a vice president, thinking that the Myth Guild was nothing special, and that the president didn't even dare to show his face.

As a result, the person in question appeared without any warning.

Moreover, judging from his nonchalant demeanor, it was as if he wasn't the one who had just obtained legendary equipment and caused a sensation throughout the entire region.

Being ignored is more painful than being slapped.

Her beautiful eyes, which were pointing a sword at the rose, were filled with a strange and wonderful light.

"Guild Leader Li Wu." Finally, Chen Yan broke the silence first, his voice much gentler than before, "You're back just in time. We were just discussing how the various regions and guilds should coordinate their operations during this 'Burning Crusade' world event."

"Yes, I heard it from Vice President Hua." Li Wu nodded and walked directly to the main seat. Hua Zitong naturally stepped back behind him, like a most loyal adjutant.

This small gesture made everyone present realize once again the power structure within the Myth Guild.

This guild is surnamed Li.

"I have no objection to coordinated operations." After sitting down, Li Wu interlaced his fingers and placed them on the table, his gaze calmly sweeping over everyone on the screen.

"The rise and fall of a nation is the responsibility of every citizen. Since this is a server-wide invasion, our Myth Guild will naturally contribute its share."

These words were spoken so eloquently and flawlessly that Chen Yan couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"However," Li Wu changed the subject, "just like I overheard outside the door, our Myth Guild has its own rules."

Everyone's hearts were in their throats; they knew the real business was about to begin.

"First, strategically, we can obey the unified command of Dragon Shield." Li Wu held up one finger. "Wherever Dragon Shield points, we'll go. Whether it's sending us to tackle the toughest challenges or carrying out the most dangerous decapitation missions, we'll have no objections."

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Chen Yan's eyes; this was exactly what he wanted. He needed the Myth Guild, its sharpest blade, to tear through the enemy's defenses.

"Secondly," Li Wu held up a second finger, "tactically, we must have 100% autonomy. That is to say, how to fight, how to use our men, when to fight, and when to retreat must all be decided by ourselves. I only trust my own judgment regarding my men."

Upon hearing this, Iron Blood Banner couldn't hold back any longer.

"President Li Wu, what do you mean by that? Do you think our Dragon Shield commanders are less professional than you? Unified command and strict discipline are the foundation for winning a war!"

Li Wu didn't even glance at him, but stared at Chen Yan and said calmly:

"My men have gotten used to my rhythm in previous dungeons. I don't want unnecessary casualties caused by an amateur's command. The elites I've painstakingly trained aren't meant to be cannon fodder for others to farm battle points."

"You!" Iron Blood Banner slammed his fist on the table in anger. Li Wu's words were practically an insult, calling him an amateur.

"President Ironblood, please calm down." Chen Yan raised his hand to stop the Ironblood battle flag, and then said to Li Wu.

"I understand President Li Wu's concerns. I can agree to that in principle. In actual combat, Dragon Shield will only provide intelligence and strategic objectives; the specific tactical execution can be left to your Myth Guild to decide."

"Very good." Li Wu nodded, then held up his third finger.

"Third, and most importantly, is the distribution of the spoils."

Upon hearing those four words, everyone's breathing became rapid.

This is the crux of all the problems.

What are we fighting in a war?

They're after resources and profits!

"This global event is unprecedented in scale. I believe that the output of various rare materials, equipment blueprints, and even divine artifacts will be massive." Li Wu's voice was full of allure.

"My request is simple. All battles completed independently by our Mythical Guild, the bosses defeated, and the loot obtained belong to our Mythical Guild. Dragon Shield and other guilds have no right to interfere."

"If we are operating in a coordinated manner, then the distribution of spoils will be based on battlefield contributions. Whoever deals the most damage, heals the most, or takes the most damage will get the lion's share. We can provide the most accurate and impartial post-battle statistics to ensure that no one is favored."

"As for how the contribution is calculated..." Li Wu glanced at Lin Hai behind him.

Lin Hai immediately understood and stepped forward, handing out a pre-prepared document, a "Battlefield Contribution Measurement and Evaluation Model" that was over ten pages long, to everyone present.

Inside, hundreds of evaluation criteria were densely listed, covering almost all aspects from output, healing, and damage absorption to control, dispel, and tactical execution. Its complexity and detail amazed everyone present.

"This..." Chen Yan stared blankly at the document. He hadn't expected that the Myth Guild would have prepared something like this.

"This isn't fair!" the Ironblood Banner shouted again. "We, the Ironblood Alliance, have a lot of members. When we fight, we'll definitely use a mass assault, a human wave tactic. Your algorithm is so unfair to a large guild like ours!"

"Many people?" Li Wu finally looked at him properly, a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. "Many people, many more will die. One of my men can take on ten of yours. My contribution algorithm doesn't include 'number of deaths.' If you think it's a good deal to exchange the lives of ten of your members for the output of one of my members, then I have no objection."

"You...!" The Iron Blood Banner was rendered speechless by the retort.

He knew Li Wu was telling the truth. The elites of the Myth Guild were of extremely high quality. If you really counted them by headcount, their Iron Blood Alliance was simply no match.

"I agree with Chairman Li Wu's proposal."

Just as the atmosphere was tense, a clear, cold female voice rang out.

It's like a sword pointing at a rose.

She glanced at Li Wu, a smile in her eyes: "The strong deserve more. That's just how the world is. We, Sword and Rose, support the Myth Guild's distribution plan."

With Sword and Rose's statement, the other major neutral guilds also expressed their agreement.

They knew very well that following the Myth Guild would bring them benefits.

As for the Iron Blood Alliance? It's just a bunch of brutes who only know how to use sheer numbers. Who would want to follow them?

Chen Yan sighed as he looked at the almost one-sided situation on the screen.

He knew that today, he was completely outmaneuvered by this young man.

But he just couldn't bring himself to do it.

Because every point Li Wu proposed seemed domineering, but upon closer examination, they were reasonable and could even be considered the best solution at present.

"Okay." Chen Yan finally nodded, making the final decision, "Let's do it as Chairman Li Wu said. Strategic coordination, tactical autonomy, and contribution sharing."

"We hope that in the upcoming 'Burning Crusade,' our China region can unite as one to fight against the enemy and achieve final victory."

"It's a pleasure working with you." Li Wu stood up, raised his teacup towards the screen.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

The people on the screen also raised their glasses.

A meeting that would determine the future landscape of the entire District 21, and even the entire China region, came to a close in such a peculiar atmosphere.
