The Niu Ren Tribe, with a force of 3,000 players, conquered the Infernal Fortress in just over ten minutes. That’s ruthless enough.
It’s said that after capturing the Infernal Fortress, Ya Zi rode the Ghost Phoenix and stood on the highest spire of the fortress for over ten minutes. He swooped down five times, killing more than 200 players. No one could climb up and take him down. He was just too mighty.
No wonder the Eternal Guild decided to surrender. With this dual approach, it’s no surprise the Eternal Guild had to admit defeat. If the Niu Ren Tribe really got serious, Chloe Fortress definitely wouldn’t hold up.
The Eternal Guild publicly apologized on their official forum. The Niu Ren Tribe triumphantly returned to Carol City. All guilds across the entire Granland Empire fell silent. They never expected the war to end this way.
It was only a few hours before the Eternal Guild surrendered.
The Eternal Guild’s strength was indeed far inferior to the Niu Ren Tribe, but from an outsider’s perspective, their strength shouldn’t have been this weak. At the very least, they should have been able to hold out for several days. However, the Eternal Guild, which had been so arrogant in Elemental City, turned out to be a paper tiger when faced with the Niu Ren Tribe, collapsing so easily. As a result, the Niu Ren Tribe’s reputation soared.
Although the Niu Ren Tribe used special tactics, the Eternal Guild’s defeat was an undisputed fact.
The Niu Ren Tribe’s victory over the Eternal Guild was highly intimidating.
Across the entire Granland Empire, there are currently five top-tier guilds, including the Niu Ren Tribe, Mage Alliance, Holy Guardians, Divine Slayer’s Blade, and Light-Dark Empire. There are about fifty to sixty second-tier guilds, each of which dominates its own city. Guilds like Mage Alliance and Holy Guardians usually control at least a dozen fortresses, while second-tier guilds like the Eternal Guild having three or four fortresses is considered pretty good.
The Niu Ren Tribe’s campaign against the Eternal Guild was like killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. Almost all the second-tier guilds reached a consensus: the Niu Ren Tribe is not to be messed with! In the future, upon seeing any member of the Niu Ren Tribe, they should immediately steer clear.
Though guilds like Mage Alliance and Holy Guardians are massive, the saying goes that even a mighty dragon cannot overpower a local snake. They don’t fear them at all. However, when it comes to the Niu Ren Tribe, they have to think twice. After all, the Niu Ren Tribe defeated the Eternal Guild in just a few dozen minutes, leaving them completely powerless. This is pure strength, which naturally evokes a sense of awe.
At the Niu Ren Tribe’s headquarters in Krips Fortress, everyone was gathered together, celebrating. Even they hadn’t expected the war to end so quickly. The headquarters was filled with noise and excitement.
Kuang Zei Nai Yan, the person who led them to create myth after myth.
“Never thought your strategy would be this effective. If we had attacked head-on, our casualties would have at least multiplied tenfold,” Cui Can Dao Guang patted Nie Yan on the shoulder. He deeply admired Nie Yan. Nie Yan’s mind always came up with so many strange ideas, yet they always seemed to produce miraculous results.
“Pity it can only be used once,” Nie Yan smiled.
“One time is already enough. Besides Mage Alliance and Holy Guardians, any other guild that encounters us in the future will have to think twice whether they can afford to mess with us. I heard some guilds have specifically instructed their members that no matter what, they must not provoke anyone from the Niu Ren Tribe,” Cui Can Dao Guang laughed heartily.
“How was my Ghost Phoenix? Pretty good, right?” Tang Yao chimed in from the side.
Nie Yan and the others played the video of Tang Yao at Chloe Fortress. These videos had already spread rapidly online. In the sky, a massive Ghost Phoenix hovered above, its powerful wings flapping as it circled down like a dark cloud descending.
The players at Chloe Fortress shouted in panic, falling into chaos.
Tang Yao had the Ghost Phoenix perch on the top of the central spire of Chloe Fortress. Typically, the fortress’s archery towers were placed along the edges of the walls and couldn’t reach the Ghost Phoenix. They had no experience defending against aerial mounts, so they were completely helpless against Tang Yao’s Ghost Phoenix.
The Ghost Phoenix looked down upon the Eternal Guild’s players below, its sharp gaze exuding a chilling coldness.
Tang Yao stood on the back of the Ghost Phoenix, his staff refracting dazzling beams of light in the sunlight, his dark-colored robe exuding immense pressure.
“It’s the flying mount of the Niu Ren Tribe!”
“It’s not Kuang Zei Nai Yan, it’s Ya Zi!”
Whether it was Kuang Zei Nai Yan or Ya Zi, both were gods in the hearts of ordinary players. Tang Yao had been on the level leaderboard for so long that his fame was quite high.
Just as the players at Chloe Fortress were panicking, Tang Yao drove the Ghost Phoenix into a dive from above. The sky darkened as the Ghost Phoenix swooped down, its sharp talons striking. Five or six players were instantly killed without any suspense. Dense magical attacks hit the Ghost Phoenix, but it remained unmoved, losing only a small portion of its health. Tang Yao, standing on the eagle’s back, was a smaller target and received fewer attacks. However, he was like a turret, launching spell after spell, killing dozens of players in a short time.
After this wave of attacks, Tang Yao immediately ordered the Ghost Phoenix to ascend back to the top of the spire. He threw a piece of meat to the Ghost Phoenix, which quickly recovered much of its health after eating it, soon returning to full strength before diving down again.
After several such attacks, the morale of the Eternal Guild’s players plummeted to the bottom.
All their counterattacks were in vain.
After hunting to his heart’s content, Tang Yao leisurely departed. Everyone at Chloe Fortress could only watch helplessly as Tang Yao and the Ghost Phoenix flew away.
This was the first time flying mounts appeared in the players’ view, and the overwhelming power of the flying mount left them in awe.
This is a flying mount!
From then on, flying mounts became the dream of every player, to ride atop a flying mount like Ya Zi, sweeping through all opponents, invincible and majestic!
After watching the videos, the Niu Ren Tribe players were amazed by the Ghost Phoenix’s formidable power.
“When can we also get a Ghost Phoenix to play with?” Xia Chong Yu Bing and others nearby couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Everyone should pay more attention while doing quests. The more flying mounts, the better. If we have enough flying mounts, we can attack the Angel Dominion’s home!” Cui Can Dao Guang said with great enthusiasm.
“Brother Dao Guang speaks well. We’ll definitely attack the Angel Dominion’s home one day!”
After the Eternal Guild’s submission, the Niu Ren Tribe players, having experienced their excitement, gradually calmed down. They had defeated too many enemies to count, and the Eternal Guild was just one among many. They urgently needed to enhance their strength. Their real enemies were not the Eternal Guild, but massive guilds like Mage Alliance, Holy Guardians, and Angel Dominion. Defeating the Eternal Guild was like establishing their reputation. In the future, when they went to other cities for dungeons, they would face fewer troubles.
“Have any of our old rivals shown any signs of movement?” Nie Yan asked.
“Not much significant movement, but recently there’s a very famous player in the Saturn Empire. He’s an elf mage, three levels ahead of Angel Wings, already level 75, and his level is still skyrocketing,” Guo Huai replied. Currently, there were already three players over level 70 on the leaderboard in the Saturn Empire, which was very impressive. On this side of the Granland Empire, apparently only Nie Yan’s level could steadily surpass theirs.
“Level 75 elf mage?” Nie Yan raised his eyebrows. He himself was an exception, with the support of his rebirth experience, allowing him to level up so quickly. At this point in time, reaching level 75 was quite remarkable. “What’s his name?”
“Feng Ming. It’s said he’s an elemental mage, specializing in ice and secondarily in lightning. He seems quite strong. Several guilds, including Angel Dominion, are trying to recruit him, but they can’t find him. He’s probably leveling up in high-level areas,” Guo Huai explained. These pieces of information were collected by his people from the Saturn Empire. His intelligence network had already expanded into the Saturn Empire. Previously, he had paid a high price to bribe several players from Angel Dominion’s knight groups, so his sources of information were now more diverse.
Feng Ming. When Nie Yan heard this name, his heart trembled. In the previous timeline, this was a legendary name. Feng Ming’s fame in the Saturn Empire once overshadowed Angel Wings. He was the creator of the dual-control ice and lightning mage, excelling in both leveling up and PvP, his level far ahead of others. He was unbeatable in duels. From him, many mages began to specialize in dual-control ice and lightning. Feng Ming’s name was extremely prominent in the Saturn Empire, practically commanding instant respect and obedience.
Many guilds wanted to recruit Feng Ming at that time, but they were all rejected. He didn’t create his own guild either. Later, he took a position in the Mage Guild, becoming an elder there, holding significant influence throughout the Saturn Empire. Angel Dominion tried several times to recruit Feng Ming without success. Unable to win him over, Angel Dominion gradually couldn’t tolerate such a prominent individual. They bribed one of Feng Ming’s friends to secretly report his location, sending a group of top-tier players to ambush him.
In one chase, Feng Ming was attacked by more than ten top-tier players. He killed three of his opponents before being taken down. That battle shocked everyone. Being attacked by over ten top-tier players and still managing to kill three of them was practically a divine level feat. After consecutively killing over a thousand members of Angel Dominion and being killed six times, Feng Ming discovered he had been betrayed by a close friend. Disillusioned, he never appeared again.
Such a person, Nie Yan was determined to meet.
“Can you find his location?” Nie Yan asked Guo Huai.
“This might be a bit difficult. He’s always been a ghost, rarely showing his face. Do you want to find him?” Guo Huai asked doubtfully. What did Nie Yan want with Feng Ming?
“If I ever go to the Saturn Empire, I should pay him a visit,” Nie Yan said. Feng Ming was a sworn enemy of Angel Dominion, so naturally, Nie Yan wanted to make contact. He had heard that the guy had a peculiar personality, but he wondered just how peculiar.
“I’ll have my people keep an eye out,” Guo Huai nodded.
