History

Founding and early wars

Lu Yang founded the Iron Blood Brotherhood in St. Gall City's King's Hall under the same name he had used in his previous life. Zhuojiu Qingshang, Ku Ai Bansheng, the Bai Brothers, Sun Yu, Xia Yuwei, Mao Qiu, Lan Yu, and other core members stood behind him during its establishment. Nineteen recruiters opened the guild system immediately afterward. 187

The guild's first day drew 67,000 recruits, but Bloodlust Syndicate pressure soon drove much of its membership away. Lu Yang responded by prioritizing internal unity, dungeon leveling, and aid for lower-level members rather than open conflict. 187 220

After defeating Bloodlust Syndicate in three battles, Lu Yang publicly adopted the slogan “no brotherhood, no game” and personally invited former members to return without punishment. The guild's reputation and recruitment surged afterward. 235

Rise in the Human Race

The Brotherhood defeated Bloodlust Syndicate, pressured the Necro Black Sword guild into dissolution, and became a dominant force in St. Gall City. When eight guild leaders withdrew from Necro Black Sword under pressure from the Brotherhood's 170,000 assembled players, the organization disbanded. 343

It expanded into Sea Emperor City by presenting itself as an alternative to guild monopolies, malicious player killing, and exploitative control of leveling areas. Its public reputation was built around protecting ordinary and solo players rather than exploiting them. 415

Xia Yuwei refused to create a separate guild despite having the backing of 100,000 players, reaffirming her loyalty to the Brotherhood. Lu Yang instead sought to recruit those players into the existing organization. 289

Multi-city and international expansion

The King Conferral Token allowed Beast Race and Elf Race players to join the Brotherhood without becoming enemies of the Human Race. It also enabled members to move freely through main cities where the guild controlled all four official fortresses. 901 934

The Brotherhood assembled four million players for its war council during its struggle against Dao Jian Sha Shen and allied powers. It later organized 100,000 Blood Demon Shrine heavy-armored troops as an elite force, equipped with gems and enchantments. 719

In the New Continent, Lu Yang repeatedly used the guild's discipline, equipment advantage, and foreign alliances to defeat larger coalitions. It annihilated a multinational coalition at Tiger's Maw Fortress after feigning weakness, with Indian vice presidents playing a major role in the counterattack. 1145

The guild later launched simultaneous surprise attacks on twelve fortresses in Alfonso's territory. Its Phoenix Legion captured Bilia Stronghold's city lord's mansion and replaced its city lord token. 1318

Consolidation of New Continent territories

By the campaign against Tom and Jerz, the Brotherhood controlled territories spanning multiple former guild regions. Lu Yang publicly named conquered areas after the guild leaders who had previously controlled them, rather than simply calling them Iron Blood Brotherhood territory. 1833

When five major New Continent guilds jointly declared war, Lu Yang mobilized both core troops and affiliated guild leaders, relying on six months of territorial harvests and fortress taxation to fund the defense. 1926

The Brotherhood continued large-scale warfare in later campaigns, including the rapid capture of Black Star Stronghold and the Blackrock City annihilation battle against the Dark Spirit God legion. 1953 2836

Organization

Leadership

• Lu Yang — Founder and guild leader; directs long-term strategy, recruitment, diplomacy, equipment distribution, and major wars. 187 1122
• Tu Feng — Oversees assets, equipment, gems, enchantments, intelligence, and internal affairs; widely regarded as the guild's second-in-command despite holding no shares. 709
• Muddy Wine, Bai Shi, Zhou Tianming, and Tian Yao — Later serve among the principal vice presidents entrusted with broad operational authority. 1122
• Xia Yuwei, Zhuojiu Qingshang, Ku Ai Bansheng, the Bai Brothers, Sun Yu, Lan Yu, and Jiang Ze — Early core members who become major commanders, shareholders, or vice presidents. 187 755

Command structure

The Brotherhood eventually delegates routine management to 33 vice presidents while Lu Yang acts primarily as a strategic leader. These officers retain authority because Lu Yang increases their resources and responsibilities rather than replacing the members who helped build the guild. 1122

Its combat units are organized around adaptable small formations:

• Standard teams fight in 20-player squads. 1306
• Five 20-player groups can combine into a 100-player formation, usually advancing in Crane Wing Formation. 1139
• The guild fields at least 22 legions, with coordinated frontal charges and flanking attacks as a common doctrine. 1354
• Defense Warriors and Defense Paladins form the core of assault units, protected by healers and supported by specialized classes. 1354

Specialized forces

• Blood Wolf Legion — Light-cavalry assault force led by Haoqing Wanzong; conducts raids, flanking attacks, and pursuit operations. 1401 1642
• Immortal Legion — Elite unit equipped with Immortal Sets; broke through Dao Jian Sha Shen's army in ten minutes under Mu Feng. 708 727
• Forbidden Spell Mage Corps — Major strategic spellcasting force used to disrupt enemy formations and defend fortresses. 1396
• Phantom Image troops — Specialized troops led by Bai Lang, used for farming rare resources and combat operations. 1241
• Blood Oath Shamans and Shattered Star Archers — High-investment elite classes raised to cultivation level 10. 1303
• Young Masters Army — Force composed of children and relatives of meritorious members; created to cultivate future talent and distribute rare advancement opportunities fairly. 1863

Resources and Member Benefits

• Members who reached level 60 could receive guild-provided equipment, enchantments, and gems. 654
• Lu Yang distributed Job Change Certificates, equipment blueprints, and high-grade gear to strengthen individual legions and reward contribution. 269 428
• Squad leaders and regiment commanders can receive formal salaries, contracts, and opportunities to work in the game city. 1391
• One hundred thousand official players were granted company-funded vacations after prolonged New Continent warfare. 1148
• A three-year Shamrock Company advertising deal worth 600 million pounds was allocated to player cultivation and member support. 1267
• Families of members support the guild's logistics through material production, arrow manufacturing, farming, and other work. 2105

Reputation

The Brotherhood's early growth was tied to its opposition to guild bullying. It was publicly distinguished from other major guilds by its refusal to monopolize leveling spots, engage in malicious PK, or force unfair purchases from ordinary players. 415

Its reputation for loyalty is reinforced by core commanders rejecting lucrative recruitment offers from rival guilds. Zhuojiu Qingshang refused Chi Mu's salary offer, the Bai Brothers rejected Xiong Ba's recruitment, and Ku Ai Bansheng rejected Bloodlust Overlord's offer of a vice presidency and two legions. 286 415

By the later stages of the story, membership in the Iron Blood Brotherhood carries major social prestige. Businesses offer members discounts, schools take pride in having Brotherhood players, and the organization becomes associated with loyalty, integrity, honor, strength, and humility. 1927
