Chapter 547: The Mage Alliance’s Defeat

Feeling the tense atmosphere, Ke Luo, a Westerner, could no longer hold back.

“Rogue Nie Yan, face me in battle!” Ke Luo bellowed sternly as he launched his charge. Clad in golden armor, he resembled a heavily armored tank, crushing everything in his path. Arrogant and overbearing, Ke Luo had never regarded Rogue Nie Yan with any seriousness.

“War God’s Rage!” Shui Setian shouted, his muscles rapidly bulking up as he rushed forward to intercept and block Ke Luo.

War God’s Rage was a powerful combat skill, surpassing the strength of a raging bull. After activating War God’s Rage, Shui Setian’s body was covered with thick, bulging veins, exuding a savage, destructive force like a raging tyrant lizard.

“Kid, you’re not worthy to challenge Rogue Nie Yan yet. Get through me first!” Shui Setian intercepted Ke Luo. With a loud thud, both launched a charge at the same time. Ke Luo was pushed back several steps.

Ke Luo’s expression turned grim. The immense pressure emanating from Shui Setian forced him to be cautious, leaving no room for carelessness or negligence.

As soon as Ke Luo engaged in battle, others followed suit. Wu Ya and others targeted their respective opponents.

Tang Yao, Xie Yao, and others waved their staffs, unleashing streams of magic at Wu Ya and his companions.

Twelve versus seven, and with superior equipment, the Bull Tribe had no chance. Their resistance was merely futile.

Wu Ya and others experienced the most unforgettable battle since entering Faith. Initially, encountering the Bull Tribe, the elite members of the Wolf Studio held some arrogance and still clung to a bit of hope for victory. However, that hope was shattered in an instant. They realized how ridiculous their thoughts had been.

Nie Yan, King of the World, Li Li Huasha, and others stood aside without joining the fight, seemingly disdaining to gang up on fewer opponents. Only Tang Yao and a few others stepped forward to engage. Tang Yao and his companions were more than enough to handle the Wolf Studio members.

Waving his staff, Tang Yao unleashed streams of magic like a machine gun, his attack speed astonishingly fast. The intervals between his magical attacks were extremely short, and his mana seemed inexhaustible. His Arcane Spirit continuously supplied him with magic, allowing him to use high-damage, mana-intensive spells relentlessly, creating an overwhelming barrage.

A warrior from the Wolf Studio continuously suffered from Tang Yao’s intense magical bombardment, his health plummeting rapidly. He hastily drank potions while a priest behind him kept healing him, but he was still blasted away. Tang Yao’s magical damage was simply too high; even healing couldn’t save him!

That was a tank warrior with six thousand armor and eight thousand health! Despite receiving healing, he still couldn’t withstand Tang Yao’s attack. This guy, Ya Zi, was just too monstrous!

Wu Ya’s expression changed drastically. As an arcane mage himself, his magical damage was nowhere near Tang Yao’s level!

Ya Zi’s name had always remained within the top three on the level rankings, never wavering. There was definitely a reason for that.

Fighting against Wu Ya was Xie Yao. Wu Ya had been with the Wolf Studio for a while, but this was the first time he faced a real opponent, and even more so, a female opponent, making it somewhat difficult for him to accept psychologically.

Upon engaging with Tang Yao and others, the disparity between the Wolf Studio and the Bull Tribe quickly became evident. The usually arrogant and domineering Ke Luo and others suddenly became weaklings in front of the Bull Tribe players.

The Bull Tribe firmly suppressed them. They couldn’t even match them one-on-one. The main target, Rogue Nie Yan, hadn’t even lifted a finger!

Wu Ya felt disheartened. Perhaps, Rogue Nie Yan didn’t even deem them worthy opponents!

Before this, watching videos, Wu Ya and others had only a vague understanding of the Bull Tribe’s strength. But upon direct confrontation, the immense pressure of one-on-one combat overwhelmed them, leaving no room for any display of skill.

Even someone with exceptional talent, who had entered Faith from the game’s launch, would find it hard to reach the Bull Tribe players’ level. Let alone a group of such players! How had Rogue Nie Yan managed it!

Nie Yan was different from others; he was a reincarnator. Before Cui Can Daoguang and others rose to prominence, Nie Yan had already gathered them together, allowing these high-level players to spar with each other. He occasionally imparted his ten years of combat experience, accelerating their progress far beyond what ordinary players could imagine.

Shui Setian’s earlier words weren’t mere arrogance but a firm confidence in the Bull Tribe’s strength!

Boom! Another Wolf Studio member fell to the ground. They couldn’t understand how they suddenly became so utterly defeated in front of these people.

Ke Luo and Shui Setian exchanged dozens of blows. Both were powerful warriors. Although Ke Luo was hailed as a genius elsewhere, he was clearly inferior to Shui Setian in skill. The difference was evident. In terms of equipment, Ke Luo lagged far behind Shui Setian. Shui Setian’s gear was meticulously crafted by Nie Yan, consisting of level 100 reduced-requirement sets. Ke Luo’s equipment was roughly comparable to Shui Setian’s previous set, which had already been given to Leng Feng Jue Jian.

Ke Luo was constantly on the defensive, surprised by Shui Setian’s overwhelming strength, much more formidable than the Shui Setian seen in previous videos.

Over the past one or two months, Shui Setian and others had continuously improved their skills, while Ke Luo, Wu Ya, and others’ myths quietly became history.

Ke Luo’s face flushed red. Shui Setian’s attacks pressed down like a mountain, leaving him breathless.

Unwilling! Could he really be defeated by Shui Setian and others? Were his past glories and achievements merely fleeting clouds, destined to become history?

Flame Slash!

Ke Luo roared, leaping high. His greatsword ignited with roaring flames as he swung downward at Shui Setian.

“Die!” Shui Setian coldly shouted, blocking Ke Luo’s Flame Slash with a sword, then delivering an elbow strike. The thick armor on his gauntlet slammed into Ke Luo’s abdomen, making him curl up like a shrimp, the intense pain nearly incapacitating him.

Shockwave!

With a loud thud, the powerful shockwave sent Ke Luo flying. Shui Setian surged forward, delivering a killing blow that reduced Ke Luo’s health to zero.

As Wu Ya glanced back, six corpses already lay on the ground, including Ke Luo. Only he remained, feeling despair.

Nie Yan looked at Wu Ya and said, “Give your boss Cao Xu a message: The Mage Alliance is finished. Next is Holy Guardian. Tell him to withdraw from the Grinland Empire to avoid losing investments. Unless Century Financial Group has inexhaustible funds.”

Before Wu Ya could respond to Nie Yan’s words, Xie Yao’s final magical strike blasted him away.

Glancing at the corpses on the ground, Nie Yan smiled slightly. “Finally cleaned up. Gather the loot; let’s go.”

Soon, news of the Death’s Domain battle spread online. No videos from Death’s Domain had surfaced, and both the Mage Alliance and Bull Tribe remained tight-lipped. However, online reports revealed a series of data: Mage Alliance suffered 3000 casualties, while Bull Tribe lost 392.

Undoubtedly, the Bull Tribe emerged victorious, but players found the casualty figures hard to believe. How could this happen? Had the Bull Tribe only lost 392 people? This world was just too crazy!

Considering the Mage Alliance had hired numerous elite players, overall, their strength was comparable, even slightly superior to the Bull Tribe. Even if they eventually lost, shouldn’t the defeat have been less devastating? Losing 3000 while only killing nearly 400 Bull Tribe members was simply inconceivable.

Players across the Grinland Empire were abuzz with discussions about the outcome of the Death’s Domain battle. Later, someone obtained insider information from a studio—some of its members had been hired by the Mage Alliance and participated in the war. Subsequently, a video website purchased the battle footage of Death’s Domain from these individuals and released it online, finally unveiling the true course of the battle to the public.

Regarding the Bull Tribe’s tactics, all players were speechless. Some criticized Rogue Nie Yan for being cunning and underhanded, claiming that winning through such despicable means wasn’t honorable. Others supported the Bull Tribe, arguing that if winning wasn’t honorable, was sending one’s own men to die honorable?

Winners become kings, losers become bandits. The Mage Alliance lost, and there was nothing they could say in defense!

Regardless of external opinions, Bull Tribe players remained grateful to Nie Yan. His benevolence left a lasting impression. Nie Yan never recklessly sacrificed his guild members. Although Nie Yan initiated the Death’s Domain battle, during the command, he minimized losses among his comrades as much as possible. Having such a leader was undoubtedly their fortune.

Before the storm from this incident subsided, players began discussing a new topic: the Bull Tribe army had left the territory of Carol City, heading toward Moonlight City. Could the Bull Tribe be preparing to attack Moonlight City?

Moonlight City was no less turbulent.

Nie Yan selected five fortresses. These five fortresses encircled the Mage Alliance’s main fortress, Ejeton Fortress.

Although Kuang Fa was reluctant, under the Mainframe’s supervision, he could only abide by the bet’s terms, reluctantly withdrawing his troops from these five fortresses.

These five fortresses would serve as Bull Tribe’s launching points for attacking the Mage Alliance. War was inevitable!

With a one-month ban on attacking these five fortresses, could Ejeton Fortress survive the next month?
