Within the Hall of Loyalty.
Qin Shujian sat at the head of the table. He looked at the two people below him and asked, "How is the situation in the Stone Forest?"
"Players are wreaking havoc in the Stone Forest. The current situation is a mess."
"Players wreaking havoc?"
Qin Shujian squinted his eyes.
Zhang Tieniu nodded, "That's right. There are also player villages in the Stone Forest. The number of players isn't less than the number of players in the Novice Village 10021 that we destroyed.
Moreover, these players are increasing their strength very quickly. Originally, the three bandit groups in the Stone Forest each occupied one area. Now, under the threat of the players, they are gradually working together to resist the invasion of the players. "
At the mention of the word 'inhuman', his expression turned solemn.
Luckily, as the Cold Mountain Stronghold became a first-class faction, his cultivation also increased to the fourth stage of the martial arts.
Or else …
This time, entering the Stone Forest was a perilous situation.
Hearing this, Qin Shujian wasn't surprised.
The speed at which players increased their strength was definitely not something that these NPCs could compare to.
Moreover, with the character of the players, once their strength increased to a certain level, the bandits in the Stone Forest would definitely be uprooted.
Even if the three bandit groups were working together, they would already feel the threat of the players.
Unfortunately.
From Zhang Tieniu's words.
These bandits still didn't understand the players at all.
Players were like a centipede that didn't fall down even if it died. Moreover, their growth speed was shocking.
When the bandits chose to work together to resist, they had already lost.
To truly suppress the players.
They had to use the power of thunder and completely destroy the players before they rose up.
Otherwise, sooner or later, they would be bitten back.
If Qin Shujian was still considering making a move on the Stone Forest before, he would've thought about it.
But now, after hearing Zhang Tieniu's words, he didn't hesitate at all.
He had to attack!
Although the players were only wreaking havoc in the Stone Forest.
But the Stone Forest was only a short distance away from the Liang Mountain boundary.
With the players' adventurous spirit, it wouldn't be long before they reached their hands into the Liang Mountain boundary.
Rather than passively taking a beating at that time.
It was better to take the initiative to attack now.
The more he thought about it, the more Qin Shujian felt that it made sense.
Therefore, he immediately asked, "How strong are those three groups of bandits? Are there any experts above the sixth stage of the Basic Realm?"
"According to my understanding, the strongest of the three bandit groups was only at the fifth stage of the Basic Realm. But now that the mutants are wreaking havoc, we can't rule out the possibility that they have advanced to the next stage.
However, according to my estimation, the sixth stage of the Basic Realm should be the highest. The possibility of going any higher is next to nothing. "
Killing Inhumans to level up, but there was a limit to it.
If one wanted to advance to the 6th level of the Basic Realm, they would need to be at least at the 3rd level of the Basic Realm.
This was undoubtedly an extremely high request.
"Sixth stage of the Basic Realm?"
Hearing this, Qin Shujian pondered for a moment, then ordered, "Send a letter to the bandits in the Stone Forest."
He did not think of himself as a cruel person.
Even though they had already made preparations to attack the Stone Forest.
However, Qin Shujian still did not want to make a move on these bandits unless it was absolutely necessary.
After all —
Everyone was a member of the Forest.
Now that he had become an NPC, everyone could be considered to be of the same race.
Qin Shujian felt that he could not easily slaughter his own race.
Soon after.
Qin Shujian wrote three letters, one for each bandit group, and directly handed them to Zhang Tieniu.
He believed.
When the bandits in the Stone Forest saw these letters, they would definitely feel his strong sincerity.
After finishing this matter.
Qin Shujian immediately gathered the bandits in the Cold Mountain Stronghold.
Those bandits only had one day. Even though he thought that the probability of them refusing was not high, he still had to prepare in advance.
As long as there were any problems.
Then he would immediately lead people to sweep through the Stone Forest.
On the other side.
After receiving Qin Shujian's order, Zhang Tieniu took the three letters and headed straight for the Stone Forest.
From the Cold Mountain to the boundary of the Stone Forest, there was only a distance of twenty li. With the speed of the fourth stage of the Basic Realm, it would not take too much time.
However.
The boundary of the Stone Forest was much larger than the boundary of the Cold Mountain. It was as vast as two or three times the boundary of the Cold Mountain.
Although the forces of the three groups of bandits were not spread too far apart,
But they were not close to each other.
Therefore, Zhang Tieniu used a total of six hours to deliver the three letters.
And when these letters were delivered to the bandits, he immediately turned around and left. He did not stay for even a second.
He did not read the contents of the letters.
But his premonition made Zhang Tieniu not dare to stay for too long.
If there was any bad news in the letters.
Then with his fourth stage of the Basic Realm, if he fell into a bandit's lair, he might not have the chance to come out.
—
When Zhang Tieniu did not go far.
An angry voice came from one of the strongholds.
"You've gone too far!"
Niu Feng's face turned red. His broad hand directly crushed a white paper. His bell-like eyes were full of anger, as if they would spew out at any time.
He had naturally heard of the name of the Cold Mountain Stronghold.
After all, the two territories bordered each other. Even if he had no contact with them, he should still know about them.
In Niu Feng's opinion, the boundary of the Cold Mountain and the Stone Forest did not interfere with each other.
Therefore, when a bandit from the Cold Mountain Stronghold came to deliver the letter, he was relatively polite and did not have the intention to make things difficult for the other party.
But now —
Niu Feng only hated himself for not keeping the person who delivered the letter and then cutting him into eight pieces.
"I am the chief of the Cold Mountain Stronghold, Qin Shujian. I have heard of the name of the Stone Forest and could not help but yearn for it."
This was the beginning of the letter.
It seemed quite normal.
But what really made Niu Feng furious was the following content.
"I heard that the Stone Forest is currently being ravaged by mutants. The Cold Mountain Stronghold is willing to help wipe out the mutant disaster. However, as a reward, the Mingai Mountain must be incorporated into the Cold Mountain Stronghold.
I will give you one day to consider. If you refuse, then the Cold Mountain Stronghold will sweep away all obstacles. "
The meaning behind the words was obvious.
Niu Feng could only see a hint of provocation.
The Mingai Mountain Stronghold had dominated the Stone Forest for more than ten years. As the chief of the Mingai Mountain Stronghold, no one had ever dared to be so unscrupulous in front of him, to the point of openly threatening him.
The harassment of the mutants during this period of time made Niu Feng unwilling to divert too much of his attention.
He would now use all the strength of the mountain to directly declare war on the Cold Mountain Stronghold.
As for the time mentioned in the letter, Niu Feng did not care at all.
"This Mountain Stronghold wants to see what kind of ability a small Cold Mountain Stronghold has to dare to talk nonsense about wiping out my Mingai Mountain!"
Niu Feng's expression was ice-cold as he spoke word by word.
However —
After his anger, he also became clear-headed.
The Cold Mountain Stronghold's actions seemed to be directed at the Mingai Mountain, but if exaggerated, it was directed at the entire Stone Forest.
Before he completely understood the other party's background, Niu Feng was not prepared to shoulder everything by himself.
"The Stone Forest is not just the Mingai Mountain."
