Two massive legions clashed fiercely, each exhausting all their strength, with casualties continuing to rise.
Nie Yan, Cui Can Dao Guang (Cui Can Daoguang), and others led their respective troops in and out of the battlefield repeatedly. Soon, the Bull Player Tribe’s formation gradually gained the upper hand. The Angel Tyrant Force’s troops relied entirely on Ao Yi Tian Shi’s (Ao Yi Tianshi’s) commands for their attacks, but his battlefield knowledge was limited, requiring him to issue orders based on feedback from lower-level players. In contrast, although the Bull Player Tribe was divided into twenty-five separate units, they maintained coordination. In aerial dogfights, their combined might was astonishing. Soon, the Angel Tyrant Force’s flying mounts were fragmented into isolated groups, forced to fight separately.
The Bull Player Tribe had lost over a thousand flying mounts, while the Angel Tyrant Force suffered losses exceeding three thousand.
Ao Yi Tian Shi led a large group of flying mounts charging into battle, scattering six of the Bull Player Tribe’s flying squadrons. However, before they could eliminate those scattered mounts, they saw the Bull Player Tribe’s mounts regrouping into a single formation, with those who had lost contact with their units integrating into other groups. Meanwhile, the Angel Tyrant Force’s forces were now completely disorganized.
Ao Yi Tian Shi grew anxious watching this unfold. He barked sharply in the team chat, “First, second, and third squads, follow me! We’ll carve a bloody path through them!”
Silver Winged Dragon surged forward first, and Ao Yi Tian Shi began gathering his subordinates, more and more players rallying around him.
Nie Yan surveyed the entire battlefield. The Angel Tyrant Force had been split into over a dozen isolated pockets. Cui Can Dao Guang and others were preparing the Bull Player Tribe’s elite flying units to gradually eliminate them one by one.
“Boss Nie Yan, we can’t hold out much longer!” Ben Zhi E Mo (Ben Zhi Emo) shouted in the team chat. His unit was locked in direct combat with Ao Yi Tian Shi’s forces—the Angel Tyrant Force’s most elite troops—suffering heavy losses.
Nie Yan rapidly ascended on his Dark Winged Dragon, scanning the battlefield from above. He quickly locked onto a location: about five thousand Angel Tyrant Force flying mounts surged like a tidal wave, nearly overwhelming three Bull Player Tribe squadrons. Ao Yi Tian Shi’s Silver Winged Dragon had already eliminated three Bull Player Tribe mounts, scattering a dragon formation.
“Dao Guang, Shui Se (Shui Se), bring your units and follow my command. We’re going to deal with Ao Yi Tian Shi!” Nie Yan ordered, diving downward on his Dark Winged Dragon alongside his Ghost Dragon.
Cui Can Dao Guang and Shui Se Yan Tou (Shui Se Yantou) received Nie Yan’s message and led their two flying squadrons toward the designated location.
Inside the City of Sins, more and more players rushed in to seize the crystal cores, turning the area into a chaotic battlefield.
“Look at the sky!” someone shouted suddenly.
Many players looked up, awestruck by the spectacular sight. Lines of dragon-formed flying units twisted and turned, charging and clashing, retreating and evading. The Angel Tyrant Force’s troops were being carved into pieces, slowly devoured, leaving them at a disadvantage.
“The Angel Tyrant Force might not be a match for the Bull Player Tribe!”
“Not necessarily. Though the Angel Tyrant Force is fragmented, if they regroup and defend collectively, it might not be easy for the Bull Player Tribe to eliminate them completely.”
“Look over there! Ao Yi Tian Shi’s Silver Winged Dragon!”
They turned eastward, watching the silver-white dragon leading thousands of mounts, breaking through the Bull Player Tribe’s encirclement, gradually rallying scattered Angel Tyrant Force mounts. The Silver Winged Dragon crushed three to four Bull Player Tribe mounts.
“Ao Yi Tian Shi is truly formidable! It’s said that the Silver Winged Dragon’s growth rivals Nie Yan’s Dark Winged Dragon, but it’s only at level seven, far behind Nie Yan’s level-nine Dark Winged Dragon.”
As Ao Yi Tian Shi’s forces were about to break free, swallowing three Bull Player Tribe units, two more Bull Player Tribe squadrons arrived.
“It’s the Dark Winged Dragon!”
“Heavens, what a massive Dark Winged Dragon!”
They looked up in awe as a black dragon dove from high above toward Ao Yi Tian Shi’s Silver Winged Dragon. This black dragon was seven to eight times larger than the silver one. Compared to the Dark Winged Dragon, the Silver Winged Dragon looked like a mere child.
This stark contrast revealed the Silver Winged Dragon was in a completely different league.
As the Dark Winged Dragon dove with lightning speed, everyone held their breath. Would Nie Yan land a decisive blow? Could the Silver Winged Dragon be instantly killed?
“Brothers, charge!” Unaware of the deadly mount diving from above, Ao Yi Tian Shi led thousands of troops, breaking through encirclements, rallying scattered forces. Enraged, he had already eliminated hundreds of Bull Player Tribe mounts, seemingly poised for a counterattack.
“Leader Ao, watch out!”
Hearing this, Ao Yi Tian Shi’s heart jolted. Looking up, he saw a massive shadow descending like thunder.
Nie Yan! Seeing the terrifying size of the Dark Winged Dragon, Ao Yi Tian Shi lost all will to fight. The Dark Winged Dragon was seven to eight times larger than his own, its massive, razor-sharp claws seemingly capable of shredding the Silver Winged Dragon in one strike.
At this speed, the Silver Winged Dragon couldn’t possibly evade! Ao Yi Tian Shi felt a flash of despair.
“Leader Ao, dodge quickly!” Lie Yan (Lie Yan) shouted anxiously. Seeing the Silver Winged Dragon about to be eliminated, he roared furiously, steering his Flame Phoenix to collide with the Silver Winged Dragon.
With a loud boom, the Silver Winged Dragon was pushed back several steps.
The Dark Winged Dragon struck, its steel claws sinking into the Flame Phoenix’s back. The Flame Phoenix shrieked in agony.
Blood sprayed as the Dark Winged Dragon tore the Flame Phoenix apart, tossing its corpse aside before turning toward the Silver Winged Dragon.
“Lie Yan! Nie Yan, this grudge is unforgivable!” Ao Yi Tian Shi’s eyes burned red. Seeing the Dark Winged Dragon approaching, he immediately steered the Silver Winged Dragon to flee.
The Dark Winged Dragon’s claws slashed downward, carving a deep, bone-exposing wound into the Silver Winged Dragon’s back.
The Silver Winged Dragon’s blood splattered across the Dark Winged Dragon.
Just as the Silver Winged Dragon seemed doomed, over a dozen level-six Angel Tyrant Force mounts nearby reacted, charging toward the Dark Winged Dragon.
Though these level-six mounts posed no real threat to the Dark Winged Dragon, they formed a human wall, blocking its path. The Silver Winged Dragon escaped through the gaps.
As Nie Yan prepared to send the Ghost Dragon to pursue the Silver Winged Dragon, three level-seven mounts from the Angel Tyrant Force flanked him, blocking the Ghost Dragon.
The Angel Tyrant Force’s flying troops had been charging with high morale, preparing to eliminate over a thousand Bull Player Tribe mounts, but were caught off guard by the Dark Winged Dragon’s sudden attack. Their leading Silver Winged Dragon fled injured, losing a Flame Phoenix and several level-six mounts. Their recently regained morale was shattered. Even Ao Yi Tian Shi’s Silver Winged Dragon couldn’t withstand a single strike from the Dark Winged Dragon. Without Lie Yan’s sacrifice, the Silver Winged Dragon might have perished. Who could possibly counter the Dark Winged Dragon?
At that moment, Cui Can Dao Guang and Shui Se Yan Tou arrived with their two squadrons. Several level-seven mounts led the charge into the Angel Tyrant Force’s formation, causing chaos and forcing them into retreat.
After eliminating several level-six Angel Tyrant Force mounts nearby, Nie Yan scanned the battlefield—where was the Silver Winged Dragon? Ao Yi Tian Shi had escaped swiftly!
The Angel Tyrant Force had already lost seven to eight thousand mounts, while the Bull Player Tribe only lost over two thousand.
Though the Silver Winged Dragon escaped, it was severely wounded. It would be difficult for Ao Yi Tian Shi to regroup his forces, and he had to constantly watch for Nie Yan’s pursuit. One misstep could cost him his life at the Dark Winged Dragon’s claws.
Cao Xu (Cao Xu), a guest at the Clementsi Fortress, had been watching the live stream from Ao Yi Tian Shi’s group. After Ao Yi Tian Shi finally rallied his forces, seemingly poised for a full counterattack, Nie Yan’s Dark Winged Dragon appeared, scattering their troops.
Cao Xu sighed regretfully, recalling past events. Nie Yan seemed destined to be his nemesis, disrupting his plans in Grailand, leading to the total collapse of several guilds under his control, including the Triumph Empire, forcing him to withdraw his investments from the Grailand Empire. Yet Nie Yan still seemed unsatisfied, determined to push him to the brink.
As a major virtual industry operator, Nie Yan’s emergence caused Century Capital’s virtual business to shrink by nearly 60%, missing its best development opportunity. Cao Xu had invested heavily in Faith but had yet to recoup his losses. Withdrawing from Faith now would be catastrophic. If this news spread, it would severely damage Century Capital’s reputation. As a listed company, its market value would plummet dramatically.
In this situation, Cao Xu had no choice but to push forward. Watching Nie Yan’s cold expression on the screen, he sneered, “Don’t get too confident. Even if we lose, we won’t let you off easily. Taste the power of the latest goblin airships!” He growled in the group chat, “Deploy the goblin airships and bombard them relentlessly!”
Nie Yan sat atop the Dark Winged Dragon, clearing Angel Tyrant Force mounts while scanning for Ao Yi Tian Shi’s location. Only by eliminating Ao Yi Tian Shi could he feel secure. He had to root out the problem completely, leaving no opportunity for Ao Yi Tian Shi.
The Dark Winged Dragon tore through two more level-six mounts. Nie Yan had now eliminated seventy-six mounts in total, including six level-seven and thirty-six level-six mounts—an astonishing achievement.
With the Angel Tyrant Force’s defeat inevitable, Nie Yan prepared to deploy his forces for a full cleanup when suddenly, boom after boom echoed from the east. The sky seemed to tremble, flames roaring from the Angel Tyrant Force’s side. Nie Yan’s expression changed drastically—what had happened?
