Unlike the previous rough prototype, the transformed Headless Rider Doro’s cavalry crossbow had every component meticulously crafted, covered with intricate mechanisms. The front was curved in an arc, and the mechanism had two additional steel wires to enhance propulsion, making it more advanced than ordinary crossbows.
The newly crafted Headless Rider Doro’s cavalry crossbow was slightly larger than before, yet its weight had not increased. Its streamlined structure exuded a powerful aura.
At this moment, the cavalry crossbow resembled a formidable killing machine.
Nie Yan checked the attributes of the cavalry crossbow.

The attributes of the cavalry crossbow had improved significantly, especially its range, which had reached 120 yards. As levels increased, some high-level mages had ranges of seventy to eighty yards, and some demon hunters could reach around 100 yards, but a weapon with a range of approximately 120 yards was likely something few players had ever seen.
Possessing this cavalry crossbow meant Nie Yan could kill enemies from a distance of 120 yards, posing a serious threat to spellcasters.
Besides the range, the other attributes of the crossbow had also improved significantly, especially the attack power, which had increased fivefold.
Among the bows and crossbows currently used by players, the Headless Rider Doro’s cavalry crossbow was likely the best. It would be difficult for players to find a bow or crossbow with attributes as powerful as the Headless Rider Doro’s cavalry crossbow.
Nie Yan took out the Headless Rider Doro’s cavalry crossbow, pulled five arrows from the quiver in his backpack, loaded them onto the crossbow, aimed at a target, and pulled the trigger.
With a swish, five arrows shot out in a straight line, flying over a hundred yards before thudding into a distant tree.
The five arrows flew in a straight line and struck the tree one after another with heavy force. One of the arrows triggered the penetration effect, piercing through the tree trunk and continuing to fly a distance before finally falling from the air.
A 120-yard range was indeed amazing.
Nie Yan put the cavalry crossbow away. The Bull Tribe could continue consolidating its territory for now. At least after more than ten days could the Bull Tribe start annexing other cities. According to his past-life memories, if the Undead Vengeance were to begin, the undead would first occupy a fortress as a base before expanding on a large scale. Currently, there were no signs of this at all, so there was no need to worry excessively.
With the influx of countless guilds, competition in Griffin’s Land had suddenly intensified, turning it into chaos everywhere. Nie Yan decided to temporarily keep the Bull Tribe from getting involved, letting the elite members of the Bull Tribe hold off entering Griffin’s Land for now, focusing instead on leveling up and preparing to advance into top-tier professions.
With his past-life experience, a top-tier professional player was definitely more valuable than these low-level flying mounts. Currently, the Bull Tribe’s aerial forces were not weak. They could wait until they had a large number of top-tier professionals before capturing flying mounts—it wasn’t too late then.
Originally, Nie Yan had intended to go to the Sattern Empire. Angel Dominion had been developing too smoothly there, so he needed to create some obstacles for them. However, the Grailan Empire seemed far from peaceful. The Monroe Corporation was his real concern. Once the Monroe Corporation made a move, he had to stabilize the situation here. Therefore, he decided to temporarily remain in the Grailan Empire to deal with any potential unknown situations.
He checked the level leaderboard. The highest-level player was already nearly level 110. He should hurry up and level up as well. Once Xie Yao and the others had all advanced into top-tier professions, with so many powerful Archmages, Divine Clerics, and Holy Paladins among these elite classes, the Bull Tribe would be as solid as a rock.
Regarding the Abak Set, Nie Yan had collected four pieces so far, including the leather armor, gauntlets, cape, and a dagger—nearly half of the set. If he could complete this ultimate divine armor set, it would be an exciting prospect.
The system had provided four clues, and Nie Yan’s gaze fell on one of them: go to the town of Imogen in Emerald City and seek out the old blacksmith, Westcott, who might know some information.
Upon seeing this system prompt, Nie Yan raised his eyebrows. Emerald City—wasn’t that the stronghold of Divine Annihilation? At the same time, the headquarters of the War Madness Alliance was also located there, with both factions each controlling half of the city. However, there was a difference: the War Madness Alliance’s influence in Emerald City wasn’t as strong as Divine Annihilation’s. They had strongholds in nearby cities and weren’t confined solely to Emerald City. In contrast, Divine Annihilation treated Emerald City as their main base and hadn’t expanded into other cities.
Should he go to Emerald City or not?
Nie Yan weighed the options and decided to make the trip to Emerald City. On one hand, it was for the components of the Abak Set, and on the other, to scout the situation there.
After preparing some necessary consumables, Nie Yan put on his cloak and headed toward the teleportation array.
A flash of white light, and Nie Yan was teleported to Emerald City.
Nie Yan had lost count of how many times he had been teleported to Emerald City. Looking at the buildings along the street, a sense of familiarity surfaced. He had visited this place several times before, including purchasing land and completing quests. After all, with the teleportation array, it was quite convenient.
Nie Yan made his way smoothly toward the Bull Tribe’s shop set up in Emerald City to check how business was doing. Additionally, he sent a message to Love Injury, planning to meet him at a teahouse.
Upon receiving the message that Nie Yan had arrived in Emerald City, Love Injury immediately rushed over.
Compared to their first encounter, both of their statuses had shifted. Nie Yan had transformed from an obscure, idle player into the leader of the top guild in the Grailan Empire and a shareholder of the War Madness Alliance, effectively becoming Love Injury’s superior.
After the War Madness Alliance joined the Bull Tribe, the cooperation between the two parties had been quite harmonious. Nie Yan had always ensured timely financial support for the War Madness Alliance without any delays, enabling the alliance to grow to its current scale. Love Injury had also consistently adhered to the agreement, becoming a steadfast pillar of the Bull Tribe.
After inspecting the operations of various shops, Nie Yan made his way toward the teahouse. Along the journey, among the high-level players bustling through the streets, statistics showed that out of every ten players, two belonged to Divine Annihilation and one to the War Mad Alliance—a clear indication of the influence these two guilds held in Emerald City. Although the War Mad Alliance had fewer members than Divine Annihilation, their equipment quality was noticeably superior. Neither side held a definitive advantage over the other.
