After all, Mike was a 30-year-old veteran gamer, so he naturally had the habits of a gamer.

When all the NPCs in the world suddenly received a certain piece of information, it would essentially be recognized as a version event.

In other words, it was a habit.

This situation was very much like an irresistible supreme will controlling the thoughts of the NPCs in Second World.

As mentioned before, the friendliness setting was also the same.

After Mike learned of this, he asked again,

"Then, where did you get the news that the king is coming to attack?"

"It was someone I positioned in the City of Light who told me."

This time, the shirtless bald man answered very decisively.

Mike nodded.

A situation like this was not considered a version event.

The first piece of news could be understood as something that could not be defied or changed.

The whole world would know about the appearance of the Fire Blade Gang. There was no way to stop it. It could not be hidden even if one wanted to.

The second piece of news was not a version event.

This was a consequence of the subsequent events.

That was why the bandit leader had "received information from his underlings" and not "found out about this matter out of the blue".

Just as he was thinking, the shirtless bald man spoke again.

"The king's army might arrive here soon. Do we need to discuss a countermeasure first?"

Hearing the word "countermeasure", Mike was a little surprised.

After all, the image of this guy in front of him had nothing to do with wisdom.

Look at him.

He was shirtless, bald, and had long scars on his face and body.

He also looked fierce and looked like he had been living a life of bloodshed.

What countermeasures could such a person come up with?

Mike could not help but ask,

"What do you have in mind? Please tell us and let us hear it."

The shirtless bald man said,

"I think we should strike first and attack the City of Light directly. How about this?"

Hearing this, before Mike had time to react, the bandit leaders applauded and cheered.

"This plan is not bad. I think we can do it!"

"It sounds good. If we can take down the City of Light, won't we be able to be the king?"

"It's not your turn to be the king. We must definitely let the boss of the Fire Blade Gang be the king! But we can all be nobles!"

"Hahaha, become nobles? I like it!"

The leaders of the bandits discussed among themselves, and their underlings behind them were also excited.

If their boss became a noble, then they, as underlings, would definitely gain a lot of benefits.

In the future, there would be no need to go through so much trouble to rob money. It would be more convenient to directly rob the shops in the city!

These bandits were very excited, but the members of the Fire Blade Gang were stunned.

Since the beginning, they had been in a state of confusion.

'These guys actually wanted to attack the City of Light?

'Are they crazy?

'We're just bandits!

'Moreover, why would they let the boss of our Fire Blade Gang be the king?

'Is it because our boss is God Slayer?

'If that's the case, it makes sense...'

The Fire Blade Gang thought to themselves.

Because they were now part of Mike, in theory, they were not an independent NPC organization of Second World, but an organization of players.

Therefore, they were not affected by the "version event".

The Fire Blade Gang could not understand these bandits' arrival and the many comments they made upon their arrival.

They had no idea that the Fire Blade Gang used to be the core gang of the Bandit Alliance.

They could not imagine that these bandits, who totaled up to a large number of people, actually came to rely on the Fire Blade Gang.

To them, the Fire Blade Gang was just a small gang. They usually stole a little money so they could live on.

As for the bragging of the former leader, Anderson, everyone naturally never believed it.

Now that so many bandit groups had come to rely on the Fire Blade Gang, they had understood it as the bandits coming here to rely on God Slayer.

Otherwise, it would not make sense.

Since that was how they understood it, they usually acted in a small-scaled manner.

As for attacking the City of Light, they were naturally unwilling.

The city, the rule of the royal family, the army.

These were all at a different level from them.

In their eyes, those were all high and mighty forces that could not be resisted.

So, they all looked at their new leader, God Slayer.

They hoped that God Slayer would reject this proposal.

Even though their new leader was lawless, evil, and even dared to massacre a large number of people in Victory City.

'Please don't agree, I beg you.'

They thought in their hearts.

The next moment, Mike finally raised his hand and signaled for everyone to listen to him.

Indeed, everyone quieted down and waited for Mike to speak.

"Everyone, as the new leader of the Fire Blade Gang, I will naturally think of everyone.

"However, there is one thing I want to make clear to everyone first.

"That is, we absolutely can not attack the City of Light!"

Hearing this, the members of the Fire Blade Gang let out a sigh of relief.

Thank god, their boss had not gone crazy.

The other gang members showed disappointed expressions, and some of them were even a little dissatisfied.

There were at least 10,000 bandits here, what was there to be afraid of?

If the leader of the Bandit Alliance was not Mike but someone else, they might have already started a rebellion.

However, God Slayer was a worthy villain, so they chose to accept it.

At least they could listen to the thoughts of God Slayer first.

After Mike said that, he deliberately paused for a moment, to see everyone's reaction.

Seeing that no one protested, he continued.

"Although we can't attack the City of Light, it doesn't mean that we're afraid!

"If the king wants to bring people to attack us, then we'll fight them directly!"

Hearing this, the bandits revealed excited expressions.

Good, that's right!

If he did not have this kind of courage, how could he be qualified to be the leader of the Bandit Alliance?

So what if it was the King? Fight them!

The other members of the bandit group thought so, but the members of the Fire Blade Gang were so scared that their faces turned pale.

'Didn't we agree not to fight just now?

'Why are we suddenly going to fight again?

'Is it too late to run away now?'

Everyone's mood was played by Mike's words.

If Mike wanted them to be excited, they would be excited.

If Mike wanted them to be nervous, they would be nervous.

Mike was very satisfied with this.

It seemed that these guys were a group of simple-minded bandits.

In that case, it was easy.

Mike smiled and proposed a new topic.

"What I said was, if the king wants to fight us, we will fight.

"But, what if the king wants to give us money?"

After saying this, everyone quieted down.

The king... wanted to give us money?
