"Many people say that such base-stealing behavior will only happen once in a game, but I would say that this may apply to all games, but it just doesn't apply to the World of Disorder."
"Given the level of freedom this game development team has, we never know what they'll come up with next. Who knows, Valhalla might face a Calamity Calamity one day, and all our assets could be wiped out!"
The players began to whisper among themselves:
Who is this person?
"He was the first person to buy a house, do you remember? Just a few months ago, there was an interview with him on the forum."
"Oh, it's him. No wonder he values his private property so much."
Ignoring the players' comments, [ Noncompliant Nickname 1214 ] continued:
"Fortunately, although the development team has absolute freedom, we players also have our own weapon, which is the ability to influence the plot!"
"In the last two versions, players have been able to influence the course of the game more and more, which is the only way to limit the development team!"
"I believe we can form a self-organized mobile response force specifically to protect Valhalla and its surrounding areas. In the event of an emergency, everyone should proactively and quickly assemble to jointly protect the city!"
Seeing that everyone remained silent, [ Noncompliant Nickname 1214 ] said seriously:
"Many of you here probably know me. I was the first player to buy a house in Valhalla. You might think I'm afraid of losing my assets, and I admit that, but I'm definitely not that superficial!"
[ Noncompliant Nickname 1214 ] scanned the crowd again and quickly spotted a familiar face:
"[ Gu Gugu ], let me ask you, if one day an enemy infiltrates this place and destroys all the fishing spots in the fishing area, would you agree to it?"
Before [ Gu Gugu ] could answer, he looked at another person:
"[ Pirates of the Horseibbean ], I ask you, if one day an enemy sets fire to your small boat dock, would you agree to it?"
[ Noncompliant Nickname 1214 ] has sharp eyes and a quick tongue, giving players no time to respond:
"[ Not Bad Tasting ], I ask you, if an enemy overturned your stall and told you to get out, would you agree?"
"[ Do Some Farm Work ], the enemy wants to trample your land, will you agree?"
"[ Good Times Don't Last ], someone wants to cut off your trade routes, will you agree?"
"Bartender! [ Gill's Cuisine ], someone wants to tear down your tavern, will you stand by and do it?"
After calling out a whole bunch of players' names in one breath, [ Noncompliant Nickname 1214 ] was a little out of breath, but he still had something to say:
"Everyone, don't laugh at me, but I really love this game. In reality, my life isn't that bad, it's just that I do the same things every day, and it feels like I'm trapped in a time loop."
"Only when I log into this game every night do I feel truly alive, in the city of Valhalla..."
He laughed at this point.
"This town, disguised as a city, was built by us all. Even its name was chosen by a vote. The lord here is the best and most human-like NPC I've ever seen. If we don't protect this place ourselves, who else will care?"
After [ Noncompliant Nickname 1214 ] finished speaking, all the players fell silent.
Most of them actually share similar feelings and are somewhat bothered by the fact that their hometown was robbed.
But Ed's timely intervention and the recapture of the entire Aduolin territory brought even more joy, causing them to forget about the matter for a time.
But only now, after listening to [ Noncompliant Nickname 1214 ]'s words, did they realize that deep down they were still very worried about Valhalla's safety. Just as he said, this respawn point that all players had been to had somehow become their old home in another world.
After a moment of silence, the bartender [ Gill's Cuisine ] was the first to break it:
"I rarely leave Valhalla. That mobile unit you mentioned... count me in."
[ Gu Gugu ] patted his chest and said:
"As long as the fish in Valhalla haven't been fished to extinction, I'll be there whenever you call."
[ On the Do Some Farm Work ] revealed a seemingly simple smile:
"How could a seasoned Old Farmer abandon his own land? He would only plant the enemy's land along with it..."
"..."
As players voiced their opinions, [ Noncompliant Nickname 1214 ], standing on the table, experienced the thrill of giving a speech in a tavern for the first time.
He suppressed his excitement and said:
"Since everyone agrees, shall we discuss the name of the mobile unit?"
Immediately someone laughed and said:
I thought you had already thought it through.
[ Noncompliant Nickname 1214 ] sincerely shook his head:
"To be honest, everyone, I was just planning to try out the in-game drinks tonight; this part wasn't originally planned."
The man nodded upon hearing this, pondered for a moment, and then asked:
"I think we can start by discussing the suffix, that is, what kind of organization are we? Should we call ourselves 'XX Alliance '? Or 'XX Army'? Or perhaps 'XX Mercenary Group'?"
The group was engrossed in a lively discussion when [ Aluode ], sitting at the bar, seemed to have thought of something and suddenly shouted:
"How about we call it the 'Imperial Guard'?"
The tavern fell silent for a moment, then erupted in enthusiastic praise:
"That's great! Just hearing the name gives me that feeling! You know what I mean..."
"That's right. If it were a contest between the mercenary groups and the Imperial Guards, and I had to vote, I'd definitely vote for the Imperial Guards!"
"No problem, bro, I've always wanted to be a member of the Imperial Guard since I was a kid!"
"..."
Amidst the commotion, the suffix for the team was decided, but the prefix was still undecided.
Some players think that calling them "Imperial Guard" is fine, but the problem is that this simple yet powerful name appears in hundreds or thousands of games and works of art, so adding a prefix to make it more distinctive is still very important.
"How about we call it the ' Second Holy See Imperial Guard '?"
One person offered a suggestion, and the other countered with a question:
"Should we change our name after we destroy the Tree Worship Church?"
After a brief silence, the man said again:
What about the ' Valhalla Imperial Guard '?
Someone else refuted him:
"The other towns have been attacked, should we go there?"
There was another moment of silence, after which the man said:
"Then I have no other ideas."
Then another player suggested:
"How about we call it ' Adrian Imperial Guard '?"
One person stroked his chin and said:
"It's catchy and easy to remember, with a subtle German style. It's really good, but who is Adrian?"
His companion slapped him on the head:
"What? Our boss's name is Ed Adrian."
