C1451 The Tide
The entire Alliance territory seems to be filled with smoke in just one night.
Within the territory of every company's super large settlements, it was as if the traces of a Rank-9 powerhouse had appeared in an instant.
At first, they had only found traces of those Rank-9 powerhouses in Ambra and Reinhardt. However, in just a few days' time, the traces of those Rank-9 powerhouses had started appearing in Bernardine and the ten large companies at the same time!
The news of these Rank-9 powerhouses was like a burning smoke signal that quickly spread to every city in the Fourteen Companies Alliance.
Only there were no Rank-9 powerhouses causing trouble in the territory of the Atville. These Rank-9 powerhouses also announced in unison that they were going to participate in the upcoming peak battle in the Atville. Therefore, they fought with the powerhouses of various companies in advance to test the strength of the powerhouses of each company.
Although this statement was suspicious, there was not much evidence that made people doubt it. Other than choosing to believe it, each company had no other reasonable countermeasures.
This explanation also explained why there were no traces of these Rank-9 powerhouses in the Atville.
Although some people would occasionally have some doubts in their hearts, wondering if these Ninth Grade powerhouses had some kind of inexplicable connection with the Atville.
However, these doubts were basically fleeting, and no one would think deeply about it.
If the Atville really had so many Ninth Grade experts, how could they possibly force Kong Xuan to such an extent in the joint conference?
If the Atville really had so many Ninth Grade experts, then even if Qin Yunyi had already died, it wouldn't have much of an impact on the Atville!
Therefore, this thought was basically killed the moment it appeared in everyone's mind.
Most of the time, the most impossible situation was usually the truth of the matter. It had to be said that it was a great irony.
These Rank-9 powerhouses acted extremely arrogantly in each company's territory, even though everyone knew that these Rank-9 powerhouses did their own things among each other. There should be a very deep connection between them. However, they had always acted alone. No two Rank-9s would work together.
It gave each company a headache when they faced these Rank-9s who were practically messing around and challenging them everywhere.
If they really sent powerhouses to fight one-on-one, almost no one would be a match for these Rank-9 powerhouses. At the same level, the exquisite techniques and deep understanding these Rank-9 powerhouses possessed made them practically invincible existences under the same level.
And even though they could defeat these Rank-9 powerhouses if they were to jump ranks, it was also extremely difficult.
Moreover, the distribution of these Rank-9 powerhouses was very reasonable. The lower and lower ranks of the Rank-9 were basically distributed within the territory of the ten major companies. As for the territory of the three giants, it was the territory of two High Level of Ninth Grade and a bunch of Rank-9 powerhouses.
This kind of distribution made it extremely difficult for the thirteen companies to deal with these bunch of Rank-9 powerhouses. Only the Donghua's situation was relatively better.
The few Rank-9s in the Donghua performed very respectfully. They practically served as training partners for the Donghua Company in the headquarters of the Donghua. Each time during the battle, they would give guidance to the warriors of the Donghua Company, which would benefit those warriors greatly.
Therefore, to the Donghua Company, these few Rank-9s were not a problem. Instead, they were like a pie falling from the sky.
Baili Wuji and Gu Yi could vaguely guess that the sudden appearance of a large number of Rank-9s must have something to do with Qin Yunyi.
However, they could not figure out where Qin Yunyi had found so many Ninth Grades.
However, in terms of words, the two of them would naturally cooperate with the Death's Scythe's team and describe the situation of the Donghua Company in an incomparably miserable manner.
Under the situation where all the companies were busy with their own affairs, no one doubted the Donghua Company's method of calling the shots.
In just a few days' time, the 12 companies felt that they could not hold on anymore. Some companies started to suggest that they should just send a large army to surround and annihilate them.
No matter how powerful these Rank-9s were, they would not have any good ideas when facing an army with an absolute numerical advantage. Even if they were to use the human wave tactic to pile up, they might as well just pile up these Rank-9s to death. Once everything was settled, they would not have to suffer such torture all the time.
However, just as this suggestion was brought up, it was fiercely opposed by Su Jing. Furthermore, the reason Su Jing said that she was against it also made everyone speechless.
After that, each and every one of them could only put on an expression as if they had given up everything and simply ignored the provocation of those Rank-9 powerhouses.
They could challenge whoever they wanted to challenge. If they could not win, then so be it. Although it would cause a considerable blow to the morale of the army, it would not cause too much of a substantial loss in the end.
That was because those Rank-9 powerhouses still had a few tricks up their sleeves. There were not many people who were really killed. Apart from those people who were overly arrogant when facing Rank-9 powerhouses, basically those Rank-9 powerhouses would not kill them.1
Such a well-controlled approach also made the various companies have the idea of pacifying them.
Moreover, this idea could not be stopped as soon as it came to it. In human nature, people would always be instinctively inclined to submit.
Resistance was never the theme of human thought.
In just a few days, various companies had started to get used to the existence of the Death's Scythe team. Many people even felt honored when they were challenged by the Death's Scythe team.
This was because the challenges of the Death's Scythe team in the entire alliance territory were not fought without thinking.
They would only choose those who were truly strong, or those who were unique in certain areas to challenge!
Rank-9 powerhouses were naturally ranked among those who were challenged by them, but that was not the case for Rank-8 powerhouses. There was a gap in strength between them. Unless they had some special skills in certain areas, the members of the Death's Scythe team would simply choose to ignore them.
As for Seventh Grade Expert, those who were selected by the members of Death's Scythe and challenged by them were even rarer!
This situation was immediately noticed by the public, and it was immediately spread across the entire city. In just a few days' time, it became a whirlwind of public opinion.
The experts of various companies also changed their views on the Death's Scythe team in an instant. Their initial fear and anger turned into anticipation. . .
All those who had been challenged by the Death's Scythe team to the eighth grade and Seventh Grade Expert felt proud of themselves. Those who hadn't been challenged by the Death's Scythe team, however, were filled with disappointment.
It was only when the Bernardine Company personally awarded Seventh Grade Expert, who had been challenged by a member of the Death's Scythe, and increased his treatment in the company, that his treatment would surpass all ordinary eighth grade experts, and would be second only to the ninth grade experts in the company.
This kind of limelight had been pushed to the peak!
