Chapter 273: Announcement

Nieyan and others pushed to the entrance of the canyon.

Baihe, Leng Aoying, Wufeng, and others looked ahead. The hills and fields were filled with players from Triumph Empire and Holy Flame, as endless as the sea. They inhaled sharply. More than one hundred thousand people gathered together, what a spectacular scene it was!

If they rushed out, even if they were as fierce as Golden Earth Dragons, they would only be signing their death warrants. They retreated into the narrowest part of the canyon, about seven or eight yards from the entrance, and stood ready with swords drawn and horses poised.

The ground inside the narrow canyon was littered with the corpses of players from Triumph Empire and Holy Flame.

The players from Triumph Empire and Holy Flame launched wave after wave of attacks, attempting to eliminate Nieyan and his group, but soon realized all their efforts were in vain. Nieyan’s group totaled twenty-five people: in front were warriors and paladins like Cui Can Daoguang, Yiyan, Leng Aoying, Baihe, and Wufeng. Behind them stood a line of powerful mages, followed by priests led by Daotou Ge Qi Zai, Shili Huasha, Heise Tiantang, Yue’er A, and others.

This formation was invincible. In such a narrow passage, no one could defeat such a powerful team!

Looking forward, the sea of players from Triumph Empire and Holy Flame stretched endlessly, a mass of heads as far as the eye could see. Yet their more than one hundred thousand troops were completely blocked here, unable to advance even an inch!

Nieyan felt a surge of pride, and so did his teammates.

To halt over one hundred thousand players with just twenty-five people—what an extraordinary feat!

Any player from Triumph Empire or Holy Flame who entered this narrow canyon would have to lie down and die!

Baihe laughed loudly toward the vast ocean of players from Triumph Empire and Holy Flame, taunting them, “Come on, you brats from Triumph Empire and Holy Flame! If you’ve got the guts, come in and face my blade!”

“Little brats, come on! No courage left? You Triumph Empire and Holy Flame guys were so arrogant before! Show some of that bravery you used to clear monsters alone! Let me tell you, I’m from the Bull Men Tribe! From now on, whenever you see anyone from the Bull Men Tribe, you better behave and act like my grandsons!”

Under Nieyan’s influence, these team members spoke with equal audacity, showing no restraint in their words.

The voices of Baihe and others echoed through the narrow canyon, rolling out like thunder, and were heard by the vast majority of players from Triumph Empire and Holy Flame.

The players from Triumph Empire and Holy Flame were furious. They launched several attacks, but each time they were driven back, losing five or six hundred men. Being blocked here by just twenty-five players from the Bull Men Tribe, unable to advance even half a step forward, how could they face others? Could they really ask those twenty-five to come out and be beaten by their hundred thousand?

Even the most arrogant individuals had no spirit left now.

What else could they say? They had completely lost face! Some disgruntled players gathered a group of five or six hundred to attack Nie Yan and the others, but were undoubtedly repelled. The defensive line formed by these twenty-five individuals was like an impenetrable fortress, withstanding wave after wave of fierce assaults without faltering.

Nieyan walked to the canyon entrance, gazing at the endless sea of players from Triumph Empire and Holy Flame outside, and spoke in a low voice: “I am Nieyan, leader of the Bull Men Tribe…”

Nieyan’s deep voice rolled like thunder to the distance. Upon hearing the name “Nieyan,” the players from Triumph Empire immediately quieted down, listening to what he would say. They looked toward the canyon entrance, but many could only see a faint figure.

Nieyan swept a sharp gaze over a group of nearby Triumph Empire players, who immediately retreated.

At this moment, Nieyan was like an invincible deity, exuding an aura that looked down upon all beings.

“Now, in the name of the Bull Men Tribe, I issue a declaration to Triumph Empire and Holy Flame: cease hostilities immediately and retreat, and go back quietly. If Triumph Empire and Holy Flame insist on continuing the war, the Bull Men Tribe will surely destroy Triumph Empire and Holy Flame!” Nieyan’s voice was calm and steady, embodying the immense strength of the Bull Men Tribe, giving him full confidence.

Nieyan’s words struck the hearts of every player from Triumph Empire and Holy Flame. Only Nieyan dared to issue such a declaration, vowing in the name of the Bull Men Tribe to destroy Triumph Empire and Holy Flame!

This was the declaration of the entire Bull Men Tribe!

Complete contempt for Triumph Empire and Holy Flame!

Blocked outside the Crime Gorge by just twenty-five people, what could Triumph Empire and Holy Flame possibly argue?

In the Carol City prison, rows of cells were filled not only with NPC prisoners but also numerous players from Triumph Empire, all sent here by Nieyan.

The environment here wasn’t too bad, but the spirits of these Triumph Empire players were somewhat low. They couldn’t do anything here, and without logging into Faith, they felt empty inside, as if something were missing—a habit they had developed.

In one of the cells, Potian was watching a video sent by his team members, his face dark. Upon hearing Nieyan’s words, he slammed the table and stood up: “Damn Nieyan, who the hell does he think he is, threatening to destroy Triumph Empire and Holy Flame! Damn it!”

His heart burned with rage as he punched the cage hard. If it weren’t for being locked up here, he would personally lead a team to wipe out Nieyan’s group!

Fueled by his raging anger, he began directing the Triumph Empire players inside the Crime Gorge to launch a sweeping attack against players from the Bull Men Tribe, Holy Roman Empire, and Kalan Temple. This was a furious strike from Triumph Empire!

Soon, the five or six ten thousand players from Triumph Empire and Holy Flame inside the Crime Gorge wiped out the players from the Bull Men Tribe, Holy Roman Empire, and Kalan Temple, leaving only a few escapees whose whereabouts were unknown. However, Triumph Empire and Holy Flame also suffered heavy losses, with more than three thousand players killed. As many as ten thousand players fell to the hands of just over a thousand from the Bull Men Tribe!

The might of the Bull Men Tribe was truly awe-inspiring!

“Boss, what should we do about the people outside the Crime Gorge?” a Triumph Empire player beside Potian asked.

“Let them retreat,” Potian said dejectedly. After this battle, although Triumph Empire and Holy Flame had inflicted significant losses on the Bull Men Tribe, Holy Roman Empire, and Kalan Temple, such heavy losses also left Triumph Empire and Holy Flame struggling to recover.

But Potian had no choice but to fight. The more they could eliminate from the Bull Men Tribe, Holy Roman Empire, and Kalan Temple, the more financial compensation they would receive from Century Financial Group. Century Financial Group had secretly acquired War Blade Bloodthirsty, Mage Alliance, and Holy Guardians, and their biggest threat came from the Bull Men Tribe, Holy Roman Empire, and Kalan Temple. Triumph Empire and Holy Flame were merely tools for Century Financial Group to weaken the Bull Men Tribe, Holy Roman Empire, and Kalan Temple. Although they knew they were being used, both Potian and Yeshen Rugen had no choice but to comply. Better to fight than to be swallowed up by the Bull Men Tribe, Holy Roman Empire, and Kalan Temple.

The war in the Crime Gorge gradually subsided, ending with the retreat of Triumph Empire and Holy Flame. The twenty-five people defending the narrow canyon, including Nieyan, became an insurmountable barrier for the players of Triumph Empire and Holy Flame forever!

After a day of chaos, the Crime Gorge finally quieted down.

The heroic feat of Nieyan and his twenty-four companions quickly spread throughout the Bull Men Tribe like wildfire, rapidly reaching the entire Carol City.

Nieyan’s declaration at the exit of the Crime Gorge—”The Bull Men Tribe will surely destroy Triumph Empire and Holy Flame”—shook the hearts of countless players. Once a very weak guild, the Bull Men Tribe, after rapid expansion and rise, had begun its campaign to unify Carol City!

Nieyan and his twenty-four teammates who had not incurred red names returned to Carol City, receiving countless heroic gazes from other players. Those twenty-five figures would be forever etched in the hearts of these players.

Molten Fire Forest, Twilight Forest, Crime Gorge—the Bull Men Tribe turned over page after page, each leaving behind glorious battle records.

The glorious Bull Men Tribe!

The Bull Men Tribe once again became the center of attention for thousands, a grand guild destined to rise and dominate the world, a holy land in the hearts of countless elite players!

Even players who couldn’t join the Bull Men Tribe would be satisfied to join the Mage Tribe, Warrior Tribe, Priest Tribe, Paladin Tribe, or Rogue Tribe.

All players reached a consensus: the future of Carol City would surely belong to the Bull Men Tribe!

When Nieyan and others entered the headquarters of the Bull Men Tribe, wave after wave of cheers erupted inside. After upgrading to a level-four guild, the area outside the guild hall could already accommodate thousands of people.

“Long live Leader Nieyan! What you said just now was so awesome!”

“Invincible Leader Nieyan! Destroy Triumph Empire and Holy Flame!”

The players of the Bull Men Tribe roared in excitement, still exhilarated by Nieyan’s words. Under Nieyan’s leadership, the Bull Men Tribe had created one glory after another. The twenty-five figures standing at the canyon entrance would be forever remembered by all members of the Bull Men Tribe!

Looking at these passionate players of the Bull Men Tribe, Nieyan revealed a slight smile of satisfaction. How could he have imagined, back when he and Tang Yao, Guo Huai, Zhao Li, and Hao Cheng gathered together to establish the Bull Men Tribe, that it would reach such glory today? From the initial few hundred members, the guild had now risen to become a massive organization of fifty or sixty thousand members, possessing the most elite forces in the entire Carol City!

Just moments ago, he had issued a powerful declaration on behalf of the Bull Men Tribe, announcing the future plan to destroy Triumph Empire and Holy Flame!

This was the strongest declaration ever made by the Bull Men Tribe, declaring war on Triumph Empire and Holy Flame, two established dominant powers!

All players in Carol City turned their eyes in awe.

The rise and dominance of the Bull Men Tribe was unstoppable! The imperial hegemony was within reach!
