Chapter 499: A Fit of Rage

“Boss, just tell us what to do. We six thousand brothers are waiting for your word!” a player from Niu Ren Tribe said.

“Yeah, boss, we are all waiting for your word!”

“Our enemy isn’t Eternal Guild, so there’s no need to make a big deal out of this. For this operation, three thousand brothers will suffice. The rest should continue leveling up,” Nie Yan said.

Eternal Guild probably hasn’t encountered any resistance in Elemental City, which has made them overly arrogant. The Niu Ren Tribe has dominated Carol City for so long, yet they’ve never dared to be so brazen as to clear monsters in such a domineering manner. Yet Eternal Guild dares to act so boldly in Elemental City.

The boss finally decided to take action, but only three thousand could go. Some members of Niu Ren Tribe were excited, while others sighed in disappointment.

“All members numbered within three thousand, assemble at the Carol City office,” Nie Yan commanded in the guild chat.

With Nie Yan’s order, the players in the guild chat responded enthusiastically. They all dropped their current tasks, from Fei Meng Forest, Grey Marsh, Misty Canyon, one after another activated their recall spells. Beams of white light flashed as Niu Ren Tribe players gradually returned to the city.

Beams of white light flashed across Carol City’s teleportation array as one Niu Ren Tribe player after another appeared, heading toward the Niu Ren Tribe office like rivers flowing into the sea. Each of these Niu Ren Tribe players wore a large amount of level 60 or 65 golden or dark golden equipment. Such players were very rare in other guilds, but in Niu Ren Tribe, they were everywhere.

Niu Ren Tribe’s guild warehouse was too powerful, filled with level 60 or 65 golden and dark golden gear. As long as your level was sufficient and you donated enough contribution points, you could get a full set of equipment from the Niu Ren Tribe guild warehouse. Therefore, as long as Niu Ren Tribe players’ levels were sufficient, it was rare for them to have poor equipment.

Players in Carol City saw the Niu Ren Tribe players walking past on the streets and whispered among themselves.

“These Niu Ren Tribe guys have equipment that’s just outrageously good. Grass, what kind of gear is that.”

“Just look at the pictures of the Niu Ren Tribe guild warehouse equipment posted on the official website, and you’ll understand what real top-notch gear is.”

“What are so many of them returning to Carol City for?”

“Probably another guild is about to suffer. Likely, some guild has provoked Niu Ren Tribe again.”

“Which guild in Carol City dares to provoke Niu Ren Tribe?”

“They say it’s Eternal Guild from Elemental City. Those guys were clearing monsters without looking properly and ended up surrounding and killing Niu Ren Tribe’s Yaoyao.”

“Have you seen Yaoyao’s PK video? She was ruthless, taking down over a hundred Eternal Guild members alone. Niu Ren Tribe is full of tough guys; even a female mage is this powerful.”

“Isn’t Yaoyao the girlfriend of Kuang Zei Nian Yan?”

“No wonder Niu Ren Tribe is taking action. It’s because Kuang Zei Nian Yan is furious for his lover. However, Eternal Guild is still strong. Niu Ren Tribe attacking across cities might not gain any advantage. Besides, Eternal Guild has three allied guilds!”

Players generally didn’t expect Niu Ren Tribe to win. This was an inter-city operation, on Eternal Guild’s turf. Moreover, they heard that Niu Ren Tribe only sent over three thousand people. Three thousand going against a large guild with fifty to sixty thousand members was too arrogant. And Eternal Guild had three allied guilds!

However, they had to admit that Niu Ren Tribe’s strength was still formidable. Other guilds couldn’t gather so many high-level players. Take Eternal Guild for example, they claimed to have fifty to sixty thousand members, but how many of them were just filling seats? How many were actually strong and how many were high-level players? Probably only Eternal Guild’s leader knew the truth.

Three thousand Niu Ren Tribe members gathered at the Carol City office, filling the square outside.

Nie Yan stood on the podium, looking down at the crowd. Everyone who should have arrived was already there, chatting excitedly.

Nie Yan looked at Xie Yao beside him and asked, “Have you found a replacement for the lost equipment?”

“Yeah,” Xie Yao nodded, looking apologetically at Nie Yan. “Nie Yan, you don’t have to make so much trouble for me. I’ve caused you trouble again.”

Nie Yan patted Xie Yao’s back and smiled. “This is no longer just your personal matter, but the whole Niu Ren Tribe’s issue. It was only a matter of time before Niu Ren Tribe went to Elemental City.”

Seeing that she couldn’t persuade Nie Yan, Xie Yao gave up. He must have his own reasons.

Nie Yan sent a message to Tang Yao, asking, “How is it going? Have you completed the mission?”

“I’ve paused the mission first. Let’s deal with this matter first. I’m riding my flying mount approaching Elemental City. I’ll arrive soon. Then you tell me where to attack, and I’ll attack there! Hurry up, I can’t wait,” Tang Yao replied. His Ghost Thunder Hawk hadn’t been used yet. This would be its magnificent debut.

This was the first time a flying mount was displayed in front of players.

Besides Tang Yao, the elite members of Niu Ren Tribe had also arrived. The equipment of this group was truly breathtaking.

The top group of Niu Ren Tribe consisted of about over one hundred members. They were the most talented players in Carol City, all possessing the potential to become top-tier professionals. Whether they could successfully achieve that depended on whether they had good opportunities.

However, their strength was unquestionable.

Nie Yan gathered this group together. They exchanged experiences and often helped the lower-level players, creating a significant ripple effect. Nie Yan was certain that in the future, the number of Niu Ren Tribe members successfully becoming top-tier professionals would definitely exceed one hundred.

The equipment of these over one hundred players was at least level 65 dark golden sets, with many wearing several pieces of sub-legendary gear. The clues Nie Yan provided for collecting sub-legendary equipment had been of great help to these players. Their gear had already surpassed the imagination of ordinary players. Any one of these over one hundred players could easily rank in the top ten in guilds like Mage Alliance or Sacred Guardians. In terms of the number of high-level players, even Angel Empire couldn’t match Niu Ren Tribe.

No one could estimate how much energy this group of Niu Ren Tribe members could unleash together.

Therefore, outsiders’ speculations about Niu Ren Tribe were inaccurate.

“We don’t necessarily have to destroy Eternal Guild today. Eternal Guild is a force in Elemental City, and destroying them won’t benefit us much. Our purpose today is to scare them, make them fear us, and let them know that we are not someone they can provoke. From now on, when they see us, they should retreat immediately!” Nie Yan firmly stated in the guild chat. This idea had always been well implemented by Niu Ren Tribe players.

There were many similar examples. On three occasions when Niu Ren Tribe’s elite team went out to raid instances, they clashed with other guilds, slaughtered thousands, and those guilds then fell silent, never daring to provoke Niu Ren Tribe again. In Thunder City, a few Niu Ren Tribe players had a conflict with a guild. They gathered hundreds of companions, slaughtered five or six hundred opponents, and that guild dared not utter a word, eventually letting the matter drop.

Niu Ren Tribe always followed the principle: if others don’t attack me, I won’t attack them; if others attack me, I will definitely attack them. After those incidents, except for Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians, which often clashed with Niu Ren Tribe, other guilds avoided Niu Ren Tribe as much as possible.

Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians were rampant in the Granian Empire, making many enemies. However, although Niu Ren Tribe was always strong, they surprisingly coexisted peacefully with most guilds. This was indeed a miracle. Many guilds dared not speak out against Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians, but they held Niu Ren Tribe in great respect.

This time, Eternal Guild had challenged Niu Ren Tribe’s bottom line. They killed Yaoyao. If Nie Yan still chose to endure without responding, how would all the players in the entire Granian Empire and the entire Faith game view Nie Yan?

“Move out,” Nie Yan commanded solemnly, seeing the formation was ready.

Groups of Niu Ren Tribe players, each unit of twenty, set out one after another, exuding a deadly aura.

At this time, Eternal Guild was already in chaos. In the guild headquarters, several high-level members anxiously watched videos from Niu Ren Tribe.

“Fire Tian Zhi, you’ve brought us such a huge trouble. Tell us how to resolve this,” Eternal Guild’s leader, Fire Tian Kuang Long, cursed. Niu Ren Tribe was beyond their ability to handle.

“How could I know that Kuang Zei Nian Yan’s woman would appear in Elemental City,” Fire Tian Zhi replied gloomily.

“Now cursing Fire Tian Zhi won’t help. We need to think about how to resolve this,” the shadow priest, Fire Tian Tu, beside him, advised.

“How many of them came?” Fire Tian Kuang Long asked.

“About three thousand or so.”

“Three thousand? What does Kuang Zei Nian Yan intend to do?” Fire Tian Kuang Long was stunned. Niu Ren Tribe only sent three thousand people. Did they think this was enough to defeat Eternal Guild? However, he understood that the war between them and Niu Ren Tribe was definitely unwinnable. The strength gap was too large. Even if they repelled these three thousand, more waves of Niu Ren Tribe players would engulf them.

“Let’s contact Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians. Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians seem to have conflicts with Niu Ren Tribe. The enemy of an enemy is a friend,” Fire Tian Tu pondered for a while and said.

“Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians may not be willing to step in. We have to rely on ourselves,” Fire Tian Kuang Long naturally didn’t naively believe that Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians would help him fight against Niu Ren Tribe. After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t believe three thousand of them can create such a big wave. Let’s first repel these three thousand, then negotiate terms with Niu Ren Tribe. If we can’t reach an agreement, we’ll have to turn to Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians.”
