Chapter 502: You kill one of mine, I’ll slaughter your entire city!

The group including NIE Yan, CuiCanDaoGuang, and SUN was simply unstoppable. As the vanguard, they led the charge while the other players of Bull Tribe closely followed. Capturing a single archery tower rarely took more than five minutes.

Bull Tribe had clearly come well-prepared. Before the players of Eternity Guild could make any preparations, many were ambushed and killed by thieves or blown away by sudden magical attacks.

The archery towers quickly fell one after another.

On the walls of the Muyu Fortress, many Eternity Guild players were still gathered, unaware of what had happened inside the city. Most of the towers inside had already been seized by Bull Tribe. The sharp and deadly ballistae were now aimed directly at the Eternity players on the walls.

“What’s going on? Why are the towers aiming at us?”

“It’s Kuai Zei Nie Yan!”

“Bull Tribe has already broken into the city!”

Chaos erupted among the Eternity players on the walls. They were at a complete loss, unsure of what to do. With the towers captured, they had all become easy targets exposed to the concentrated firepower of the towers.

There was only one staircase leading down from the walls, wide enough for just a dozen or so people to pass side by side. Bull Tribe had already blocked it.

Thus, every single Eternity player on the fortress walls became trapped like fish in a barrel.

By this time, more than a thousand Eternity players inside the fortress had already been eliminated. Four thousand or so remained on the walls. Under normal siege conditions, with these four thousand defending the walls and supported by the towers, unless the enemy had large siege weapons like catapults, it would have been impossible for fewer than ten thousand attackers to take the fortress.

Yet no one had expected that NIE Yan would use such an unconventional strategy, sneaking everyone into the fortress and breaking out from within. Consequently, all the city defenses became useless, and the fortress towers turned into tools for Bull Tribe to slaughter the Eternity players.

With a swoosh, the first volley of ballista arrows shot across the sky. Flashing with cold light, a single arrow pierced through the bodies of three or four Eternity players, instantly killing them.

“Retake the towers!”

“No, we’re trapped on the walls!”

Chaos erupted among the Eternity players on the walls. Dense volleys of arrows rained down, mowing down rows of Eternity players like wheat. The scene was nothing short of spectacular.

NIE Yan, SUN, and others watched from one of the towers. What had been a dense crowd of players on the walls was now a field littered with corpses, each body pierced with countless arrows, like rows of standing stalks.

SUN and others were stunned. This was the most spectacular massacre they had ever seen.

Originally, there had been more than 4,000 players on the walls. After three volleys, only about 1,000 remained. After another three volleys, very few were still standing.

Bull Tribe’s players stormed onto the walls, their battle cries shaking the skies, sweeping through the remaining enemies like a tidal wave.

NIE Yan and his team captured the entire fortress in just over ten minutes. It was a swift and decisive victory.

“What do we do with the fortress?” CuiCanDaoGuang asked. Bull Tribe’s headquarters was in Carol City, too far away to maintain control over Muyu Fortress. Once they left, the fortress would inevitably return to Eternity Guild.

“Since we can’t keep it, let’s destroy it,” NIE Yan said. Eternity Guild had killed Xie Yao once, and now Bull Tribe had destroyed one of their fortresses. Yet the matter was far from over.

Following NIE Yan’s orders, Bull Tribe players began dismantling the fortress. Explosions roared as black powder planted throughout the fortress was detonated. Shockwaves swept through every building as the fortress trembled and groaned before collapsing in a thunderous crash.

The Bull Tribe players were still buzzing with excitement. This was their finest battle yet—only 109 of their players fell, while over 5,000 enemies were killed and an entire fortress destroyed. It was a battle destined to be recorded in history.

“Boss Nie Yan, let’s attack Eternity Guild’s main city!”

“Destroy Eternity Guild!”

But NIE Yan remained calm. A small punishment was enough; there was no need to pursue total annihilation. If Eternity Guild were completely destroyed, it wouldn’t benefit Bull Tribe either. With heavy losses and a fortress destroyed, Eternity Guild’s reputation would suffer greatly, making it difficult for them to maintain dominance in Elancia City. This punishment was sufficient.

Next, Eternity Guild had only two choices: seek reconciliation with Bull Tribe or ally with the Mage Alliance and Holy Guardians Alliance. After this incident, Eternity’s leadership should have realized that no alliance was reliable. Forming an alliance with the Mage Alliance or Holy Guardians would only provoke Bull Tribe further. If Bull Tribe decided to wipe them out completely, even the Mage Alliance and Holy Guardians couldn’t save them. If Eternity Guild had any sense, they would know what choice to make.

“Let’s head back,” NIE Yan said. They had destroyed a fortress; now they would wait for Eternity Guild’s response.

One by one, Bull Tribe players used recall scrolls and returned to Elancia City.

The players in Elancia were puzzled. Bull Tribe had only disappeared for a few dozen minutes before reappearing. No one could guess what they had been up to. None realized that in those few dozen minutes, Eternity Guild’s Muyu Fortress had already been reduced to ruins.

Huotian Kuanglong, Huotian Zhiyi, and others led an army of over ten thousand, teleporting to the nearest town and rushing toward Muyu Fortress. When they received news that the fortress had fallen, they were stunned. They had never imagined Bull Tribe could move so quickly. The fortress had at least 5,000 defenders—how could they not hold out for even twenty minutes?

As they approached the fortress, they looked ahead in disbelief. The once-thriving Muyu Fortress was now a wasteland of rubble and broken walls.

Muyu Fortress was gone.

They still refused to believe their eyes. Just over twenty minutes ago, this had been a fully intact fortress.

Bull Tribe was like a devil’s hand, reducing the fortress to ruins in just over ten minutes.

“Bull Tribe sure is ruthless,” Huotian Kuanglong exhaled deeply. At this moment, his mind was filled not with anger, but fear. If Bull Tribe had taken two or three days to capture the fortress with an army of ten or twenty thousand, he would have considered it normal and been willing to fight them. But Bull Tribe had taken the fortress in just over ten minutes with only 3,000 players, leaving no time for any reaction. That was truly terrifying. If Bull Tribe had targeted Kluoy Fortress instead of Muyu, the consequences were unimaginable. A chill ran down Huotian Kuanglong’s spine.

“Damn Bull Tribe! Let’s fight them!” Seeing the devastation of Muyu Fortress, Huotian Zhiyi’s anger flared.

“Fight them? With what? Are you going to sacrifice the remaining fortresses? Do you even know why they attacked Muyu instead of Kluoy?”

“Why?”

“Kuai Zei Nie Yan is warning us. If they destroy Kluoy, Eternity Guild will be finished and unable to maintain dominance in Elancia. Bull Tribe definitely has the power to do it, but they only destroyed Muyu. If we don’t know when to back down and provoke Bull Tribe further, next time it might be Kluoy. Do you think we can stop Bull Tribe?”

“Then what should we do?”

“Apologize to Bull Tribe. That’s exactly what Kuai Zei Nie Yan is waiting for.” Huotian Kuanglong said helplessly. If there were any other options, he would never choose this path, but the situation left him with no choice.

The news of Muyu Fortress’s fall spread rapidly through Elancia City, causing an uproar.

Players in Elancia had been wondering when Bull Tribe and Eternity Guild would finally clash. Many had even speculated that Bull Tribe might be afraid to fight. But suddenly, they received news that Muyu Fortress had been destroyed by Bull Tribe in just a few dozen minutes.

The entire battle was recorded online. The war had lasted only thirteen minutes—thirteen minutes to breach a fortress and reduce it to ruins. It was nothing short of legendary. Infiltration, mass teleportation, and portals were cleverly combined into a classic campaign. Of course, the sheer combat prowess of Bull Tribe’s 3,000 players was also astonishing.

The forums exploded with discussion. Players passionately debated this thirteen-minute battle. Who would have thought that wars in the world of Faith could be fought like this!

NIE Yan posted a thread on the forum titled “You Kill One of Mine, I Will Destroy Your City.” In it, he issued a formal warning to Eternity Guild. If they did not apologize for Xie Yao’s death, Bull Tribe would continue the fight. Since they had taken Muyu Fortress, they could just as easily destroy Kluoy.

The thread quickly rose to the top of the forum, with players eagerly watching Eternity Guild’s response.

Would they fight to the bitter end, or would they apologize?

Fighting would surely lead to defeat, while apologizing would mean a loss of face. For Eternity Guild, it was a difficult dilemma.

Immediately after the announcement, the Mage Alliance and Holy Guardians Alliance began courting Eternity Guild, offering joint defense and resistance against Bull Tribe. However, Eternity Guild politely declined each offer. Instead, they issued a formal apology to Bull Tribe on the forum.

Huotian Kuanglong and others were genuinely afraid. Kuai Zei Nie Yan had issued such a warning on the forum. If they continued resistance, Bull Tribe might unleash their full force, and Eternity Guild’s entire legacy could be destroyed.

After receiving Eternity Guild’s apology, Bull Tribe’s anger finally subsided. Since Eternity Guild had apologized and Bull Tribe had destroyed one of their fortresses, it was considered even.
