However, Drinking Alone also knew what option they had to pick.
Even with the help of Ruling Sword, they didn't have a great chance of taking the Stronghold, let alone attempting it without their help.
If they helped Ruling Sword defend, they wouldn't just be asking for help anymore. This kind of reciprocal transaction would also help to improve cooperation between the two guilds. After consulting with the club executives, Drinking Alone decided to fully support Ruling Sword.
They carefully selected nearly 20 of their top players to join the defence of Grey Valley.
Lu Li had decided to focus on the Black Sea Coast. He had basically handed over Grey Valley to his allies with 20 players from Grand Hegemony and 20 players from Peerless City. The rest of the players in Grey Valley were naturally filled with Ruling Sword players.
The Black Sea Coast was to be personally defended by Lu Li, who would face whatever they were plotting.
