The Bull Man Tribe boasts a significant number of elite players, a fact widely recognized. When a large group of top-tier experts (gaoshou) come together, the butterfly effect they create is far from merely additive. As the saying goes, even a genius-level player cannot compensate for teammates who perform poorly. Once players with subpar skills join a team, they often drag down the entire group, drastically diminishing its overall strength.
However, the Bull Man Tribe has no such worries. Nie Yan recruited a substantial portion of the top-tier talents from the once-glorious Greenlan Empire, elevating the elite team of the Bull Man Tribe to a level of strength that far surpasses players’ expectations. This team’s leveling efficiency is exceptionally high, allowing them to leave other guilds far behind in their wake.
Although the Angel Empire is vast and mighty, the elite players at the pinnacle of its pyramid structure lag far behind those of the Bull Man Tribe. Initially, the Angel Empire recognized the formidable power of flying mounts and devoted most of their efforts to collecting them. It wasn’t until the emergence of the Bull Man Tribe’s top-tier professional players that they realized the truth: true strength lies not in flying mounts but in elite players. Consequently, they had no choice but to recalibrate their strategy from this point onward. As the saying goes, “A thousand pieces of gold cannot buy foresight”—a perfect reflection of this predicament.
The Mone Consortium is no exception. Despite assembling a formidable force by uniting guilds like Divine Sword, Empire of Light and Darkness, and Holy Guardians, they currently lack any players who have advanced to top-tier professions. Consequently, they inevitably fall behind the Bull Man Tribe in this regard.
Nie Yan’s foresight and guidance naturally led the Bull Man Tribe to achieve such results.
Qin Han was constantly harassed by Nie Yan and others. His skeleton army was attacked from all directions, suffering heavy losses. A single bone dragon could not stop Nie Yan and others who appeared and disappeared unpredictably. Although the number of skeletons continued to grow rapidly, the growth rate had significantly slowed.
In the center of the Shadow Jungle, there is a large plain with very few monsters nearby, making it rarely visited by players.
Qin Han, Shen Jian Wu Shuang, and others appeared at the edge of the plain.
“Qin Han, are you sure you want to do this? I’m worried the Mone Consortium will be dragged down,” Shen Jian Wu Shuang said beside Qin Han. He couldn’t help feeling genuine fear for what Qin Han was about to do. If Qin Han failed, Zhu Shen Zhi Jian would suffer a catastrophic disaster. It didn’t matter for the Mone Consortium; even if they lost, they could just withdraw from Faith. As for Shen Jian Wu Shuang, he would probably only receive some compensation, and the hard-earned Zhu Shen Zhi Jian would be destroyed in an instant.
Shen Jian Wu Shuang thought about it. Since the Mone Consortium had acquired Zhu Shen Zhi Jian, he had already profited a lot. Even if Qin Han wanted to destroy Zhu Shen Zhi Jian, he couldn’t do anything about it.
“Victors are kings and losers are bandits. If the plan succeeds, who in the entire Greenlan Empire would dare to challenge us, the Mone Consortium? If it fails, the Mone Consortium will withdraw from Faith. Who could do anything to us then?” Qin Han patted Shen Jian Wu Shuang’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, I, Qin Han, will never let my people down.”
Shen Jian Wu Shuang nodded on the surface but secretly thought otherwise. Qin Han’s personality was definitely of the type who would rather betray the world than be betrayed by it. Now that Qin Han needed him, he naturally treated him politely. But once he was no longer useful, Qin Han would definitely discard him. Therefore, he had to take advantage of the situation and gradually transfer the guild’s assets to his own account when Qin Han wasn’t looking. Many people in the Mone Consortium’s alliance had similar thoughts to Shen Jian Wu Shuang.
Qin Han was frantically expanding his forces but overlooked the fact that a major crisis was brewing within his subordinates.
They patiently waited. About ten minutes later, a group of over 20,000 players entered the area. They were all members of the Red Moon Guild, forming a line on the plain.
“Xie Wu, the leader, the brothers have all arrived.”
The mage wearing a black robe, named Xie Wu, looked around and said, “Everyone wait here; someone will come soon.”
Shortly after, another two or three ten thousand players entered the area. They were from the Po Tian Guild, led by their guild leader, Lü Ben De Jiao Zi (Naked Dumpling).
Xie Wu and Lü Ben De Jiao Zi exchanged greetings and whispered to each other.
“Jiao Zi, what do you think? Between the Mone Consortium and the Bull Man Tribe, who will win?” Xie Wu looked at Lü Ben De Jiao Zi with a meaningful gaze and asked.
“It’s hard to say. Anyway, it’s not our business. We’ll just sit back and watch. However, the conditions offered by the Mone Consortium are indeed tempting,” Lü Ben De Jiao Zi whispered.
Xie Wu smiled knowingly and didn’t continue the conversation.
Time passed, and one guild after another entered the area. Eventually, there were more than twenty guilds, totaling an astonishing 500,000 players. They all had beautiful expectations in their hearts because Qin Han had promised them excellent conditions, promising to reorganize and integrate them into a new guild. They felt that the Mone Consortium’s actions were significant. With so many guilds gathering together to form a new guild, it would become a giant in the entire Greenlan Empire, capable of rivaling the Bull Man Tribe. Combined with the guilds controlled by the Mone Consortium, such as Zhu Shen Zhi Jian, Shen Sheng Shou Hu, and Guang An Empire, their total number was more than three times that of the Bull Man Tribe alliance. Therefore, Qin Han’s ambition to dominate seemed very promising.
Some guild leaders learned through certain channels that the “Undead Vengeance” was orchestrated by the Mone Consortium, targeting the Bull Man Tribe. Once the Undead Vengeance and the Bull Man Tribe exhausted each other, weakening the Bull Man Tribe’s strength, the Mone Consortium would then engage the Bull Man Tribe in a decisive battle. They felt that the Bull Man Tribe might not withstand it.
Someone did a rough calculation for Qin Han, estimating that the funds required for merging so many guilds would be an astronomically large number. However, in their view, a monopoly like the Mone Consortium had no shortage of money. Although some had suspected Qin Han’s intentions, their doubts were quickly dispelled. The Mone Consortium, being such a large financial group, should still honor its commitments. Moreover, the Mone Consortium was not acquiring just one guild but two or three dozen large guilds. It was unlikely that they would dare to break their promises and incur the wrath of the entire world. Therefore, they gradually arrived.
The central plain was bustling with players. Some members from Zhu Shen Zhi Jian were responsible for maintaining order. The guild leaders had been informed that Qin Han would soon arrive to reorganize these guilds and asked them to wait patiently.
Shen Jian Wu Shuang looked into the distance, unable to see the end of the crowd of players.
“Qin Han, are you really going to massacre all these players?” Shen Jian Wu Shuang asked Qin Han, his voice slightly trembling, his heart unable to calm.
Qin Han remained expressionless.
A chill crept into Shen Jian Wu Shuang’s heart. Qin Han’s silence was an implicit confirmation. He could already imagine what would happen here.
“What about our brothers from Zhu Shen Zhi Jian?” Shen Jian Wu Shuang asked. There were at least five or six thousand members from Zhu Shen Zhi Jian maintaining order here.
“Give them some compensation. All of this was done by the necromancer Bodeman. It has nothing to do with the Mone Consortium or Zhu Shen Zhi Jian.” Qin Han said indifferently and turned to leave.
Shen Jian Wu Shuang looked at Qin Han’s retreating figure, clenched his fists, and then relaxed. If the brothers from Zhu Shen Zhi Jian were also killed in this incident, his reputation within Zhu Shen Zhi Jian would be completely ruined. If he couldn’t even protect his own guild members, what kind of guild leader would he be? However, Qin Han was the kind of person who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He dared not oppose Qin Han. If he did oppose this guy, the consequences would be very severe. In the end, he could only compromise.
The leaders of over twenty guilds on the plains were puzzled, wondering why Qin Han hadn’t arrived yet. Suddenly, a massive bone dragon soared overhead and swooped down toward them. Standing atop the bone dragon was a black-robed necromancer, Aoran, who stood there with an air of pride.
The necromancer Bodeman waved his staff, and instantly, bone spikes sprouted within a thousand-yard radius, instantly killing tens of thousands of players. Below, blood flowed like a river, transforming into a hellish scene.
“Foolish humans, scream in terror and become servants of darkness. You will attain immortality,” the necromancer Bodeman cackled sharply.
“It’s a necromancer and a bone dragon!”
“We’ve been deceived!”
“Damn you, Mone Consortium! I won’t let this go!” Lü Ben De Jiao Zi cursed, “Everyone, quickly retreat!”
The players were both shocked and furious. They never expected the Mone Consortium to go back on their word, planning to massacre so many of them. They scattered in panic, but soon they found themselves surrounded. Skeletons emerged from all directions, and they were now facing an endless sea of skeletons. The players who had died on the ground quickly resurrected, transformed into powerful skeletons, and began hunting down every ordinary player within sight.
Nie Yan, Xie Yao, and Tang Yao received intelligence from Guo Huai and hurried over, hiding on a distant hill. After witnessing the scene, they were deeply shocked.
“Damn it, Qin Han is too ruthless. He slaughtered nearly four to five hundred thousand players in one go. Doesn’t he fear retaliation from these guilds?” Tang Yao exclaimed, finding it hard to believe.
“He who does much wrong will eventually destroy himself. He has completely lost the people’s support. In a few months, he will reap what he sows,” Nie Yan said. By doing this, Qin Han not only offended these guilds but also alienated Zhu Shen Zhi Jian, Shen Sheng Shou Hu, Guang An Empire, and other guilds. The forces painstakingly gathered by the Mone Consortium would eventually collapse from within.
Qin Han’s move today was indeed ruthless, killing so many players at once. The number of undead instantly surged past a million, creating a formidable force that inspired fear.
“Nie Yan, with Qin Han gaining so many skeletons all of a sudden, I’m worried he might start attacking our Bull Man Tribe,” Xie Yao said with concern.
Nie Yan nodded and said, “What’s coming will eventually arrive. But he wants to destroy our Bull Man Tribe? That won’t be so simple.”
