Nie Yan returned to Aokolen City and immediately began planning against the half-demon Angud. He issued a summons and decided to form an elite team.
Soon, a thousand-member team was formed. More than a thousand players gathered in the square in front of the Bull Man Tribe guild headquarters, their orderly formation and gleaming armor exuding a chilling aura of battle that could be felt from a great distance.
Each member of this thousand-strong team was an elite handpicked from countless players, seasoned veterans of countless battles!
Outside the square, some players were watching from afar.
“What is the Bull Man Tribe planning to do?”
“It probably isn’t a campaign against the Satern, since there are only around a thousand players.”
“I heard from a brother inside the Bull Man Tribe that they’re preparing to confront the half-demon Angud.”
“Confronting the half-demon Angud with just a thousand people?”
“Impossible, right?”
“Right, the half-demon Angud is an 180th-level demonic lord!”
“I’m not too sure either.”
They looked toward the distance, watching the orderly formation of over a thousand players. The solemn and deadly atmosphere was awe-inspiring. Indeed, the Bull Man Tribe’s elite team was completely different from the ragtag groups of ordinary guilds.
“I heard someone did a count. The average defense of warriors in this thousand-member team exceeds 13,000, and the average magic damage of mages exceeds 17,000.”
“Thirteen thousand and seventeen thousand! These guys are insane!”
For ordinary players, these figures were unattainable. A typical warrior at level 140 would be considered excellent with around 8,000 to 9,000 defense, while a regular mage would be lucky to reach 10,000 magic damage. Yet the Bull Man Tribe’s team had already reached such levels on average, and their top experts must be even more terrifying.
Soon, the thousand-member team had completed their formation and divided into groups.
Nie Yan and Guo Huai stood at the entrance of the guild headquarters.
“Any progress? Have you located the half-demon Angud yet?” Nie Yan asked in the team chat. Shuise Yan Tou, Cui Can Dao Guang, and others were still searching for Angud’s trail outside.
“Not yet. This guy has been missing for a while.”
“Be patient. He’ll show up eventually.” Nie Yan said. If necessary, he would personally lure Angud out.
“Our thousand-member team alone can’t possibly stand against the half-demon Angud,” several members expressed their concerns.
“I have a plan.” Nie Yan described the effect of the Stone of Kro. “Follow my orders. At the right moment, I’ll summon the War God Kro!” Nie Yan’s reason for assembling the thousand-member team was merely to support him, without requiring much effort from them.
“The War God Kro? You mean the 360th-level lord trapped in the Guilty Chasm?”
“Exactly.”
“Then we’re good to go!”
After learning that there was a way to deal with the half-demon Angud, everyone became excited. They had been harassed by Angud for so long, and now they finally had a chance to settle the score.
“Shuise, Dao, Heibai, Wufeng, Leng’ao Ying, Leisu, come back first,” Nie Yan said in the team chat.
“What’s up?”
“You’ll know when you return!” Nie Yan said.
Shuise Yan Tou, Cui Can Dao Guang, and others successively used recall scrolls to return to Aokolen City. A few minutes later, they arrived at the Bull Man Tribe headquarters.
“Here.” Nie Yan tossed a War Medal to Shuise Yan Tou.
Shuise caught it and asked in confusion, “What is this?” The War Medal looked unremarkable, no different from ordinary medals.
“A War Medal. Take this to the Barbarian Tribe for reclassing without losing levels,” Nie Yan explained and distributed the remaining five War Medals to the others who had arrived.
Hearing Nie Yan’s words, Shuise Yan Tou was deeply moved and asked, “Is this item from the War God Kro?”
“One of the quest rewards,” Nie Yan smiled.
Upon learning the purpose of the War Medal, Cui Can Dao Guang and others were astonished. For players of their level, it was difficult to decide to reclass into Barbarian Berserkers and start over. Once they reclassed, the guild would suffer a significant loss by lacking powerful tanks for a long time. However, if they didn’t reclass, they would inevitably be surpassed by future players who did reclass into Barbarian Berserkers, as their racial abilities were far superior to human warriors. But the War Medal resolved their concerns.
Cui Can Dao Guang and others couldn’t help but wonder how much a War Medal would fetch on the market. It was simply inestimable!
This War Medal was a gift from the War God Kro, and there were only six in existence! Shuise Yan Tou, Cui Can Dao Guang, and others were the pillars of the Bull Man Tribe, so naturally, they deserved them.
“Quickly go for reclassing. I’ve already checked. The reclassing quest is very simple. With your strength, you can complete it in half an hour. once you’re done, our guild will gain six more barbarian berserkers.” Nie Yan said, hearing about the powerful skills of barbarian berserkers, he couldn’t help but feel excited.
“Wait for our good news.” Shuise Yan Tou patted Nie Yan’s shoulder and said.
They left one after another. Half an hour would pass quickly, and they would be back in time.
After about ten or so minutes, finally, there was news about the half-demon Angud.
“Boss Nieyan, some brothers spotted the half-demon Angud’s trail at the edge of the Azure Lake outside Aokolen City. He might be heading toward Aokolen City!” Sha Bushi De Huaide urgently reported in the team chat.
Nie Yan’s heart tightened. Could it be that the half-demon Angud intended to attack the city? He couldn’t help but recall his previous experience fighting against the Wandering Princess Aina. If the half-demon Angud decided to attack Aokolen City, it would likely suffer another devastating assault!
“Where are you now?”
“We’re on our way back.”
Nie Yan estimated that the half-demon Angud was coming for him. That guy must have found out that he was inside Aokolen City!
“Still, we should go outside and meet that guy,” Nie Yan said. With the Bull Man Tribe and the Angel Empire preparing for an all-out war, if Aokolen City suffered significant damage, the Angel Empire might seize the opportunity to strike.
Guo Huai looked at the incoming message and his expression changed. “Nieyan, the Angel Empire’s nearly 600,000 troops are heading toward Aokolen City!”
Hearing Guo Huai’s words, Nie Yan’s eyes turned cold. It seemed the Angel Empire was planning to strike Aokolen City while they were dealing with the half-demon Angud!
“How many NPC troops do we have now?” Nie Yan asked.
“About 30,000. I’ve assigned some weaker NPCs to other tasks. These 30,000 are all elite troops at level 160 or above,” Guo Huai said. The Bull Man Tribe had invested a lot of effort into this NPC army, even spending a huge amount of money to equip them with high-tier gear, transforming them into a powerful force.
During the previous attack by the Wandering Princess Aina, Nie Yan had avoided using this NPC force to prevent losses. Fighting an 180th-level demonic lord would cause massive casualties. Now, it was finally time to put them to use. After all, a well-prepared army was meant for moments like this! Against player armies, they would be absolute killing machines!
The players in Aokolen City also began mobilizing urgently, organizing forces to defend the city and prepare for battle.
“How many catapults did they bring?” Nie Yan asked.
“Over 200.”
“That’s manageable.” Nie Yan nodded. Aokolen City had at least 100 catapults inside, and there were over 300 goblin magitech cannons on the city walls, enough to repel their attack.
Aokolen City immediately entered a state of full alert, ready for war at any moment.
The Angel Empire’s forces slowly approached Aokolen City, showing restraint and not launching an immediate attack. They were waiting. Six hundred thousand troops could be described as a sea of people. Seeing the footage from the flying mount units, everyone couldn’t help but gasp.
“This time, we’re in for a tough fight,” Guo Huai said with a slight smile. He remained calm. After serving as the acting guild leader of the Bull Man Tribe for so long, he had already developed the demeanor of a leader. “Are we still going to fight the half-demon Angud outside the city?”
“Still outside the city,” Nie Yan nodded.
“Then be careful. Watch out for the Angel Empire trying to trip us up!”
“Yea, I know what I’m doing.” Nie Yan looked at the thousand elite members and said solemnly, “The Angel Empire’s 600,000 troops are outside the city. Are you afraid?”
“No!” More than a thousand people shouted in unison, their voices like thunder, their morale high.
“Good, follow me out of the city!” Nie Yan said. According to the War God Kro’s principle, Nie Yan had to make the half-demon Angud threaten him for the War God Kro to intervene. At the same time, Nie Yan’s summoning of the War God Kro using the Stone of Kro required a certain amount of time, and this time gap would be covered by the thousand elite members.
Under Nie Yan’s leadership, the thousand-member team advanced toward the city gate of Aokolen City.
As soon as the Bull Man Tribe’s thousand-member team set out, the Angel Empire and Century Financial Group were immediately informed of the news. Angelic Wings, Cao Xu, and others were closely monitoring the situation.
About half an hour later, Nie Yan received news of Shuise Yan Tou and others successfully completing their reclassing and were on their way back. The Barbarian Berserker reclassing quest was relatively simple, involving merely finding some NPCs and having simple conversations. It took half an hour to complete. The only tricky part was resetting their levels to zero, but with the War Medal, everything was sorted.
“How are the Barbarian Berserker’s talents and skills?” Nie Yan asked in the team chat.
“Awesome!” Shuise Yan Tou couldn’t describe his current excitement and excitement. The other members were probably similar.
Hearing Shuise Yan Tou’s voice, Nie Yan knew that the rewards for reclassing into a Barbarian Berserker exceeded expectations.
“Thanks to the War Medal, we also gained two pretty good combat skills.”
“Mine are Counterattack and Howl.”
“Mine are Berserker Charge and Thunder Sword.”
The team chat was filled with excited discussions.
