Inside the silent hall, Hecate's upper echelons couldn't help but shudder at the handsome man's cold shout.
Although they were Hekati's upper echelons and were very strong themselves, they instinctively feared the handsome man before them.
After all, this handsome man was none other than Hekati's Vice Guild Leader, Carnage, who was also known as the Hell Knight.
Although Carnage looked young, he was already in his 40s. He was much older than any of the upper echelons present. Moreover, he had been a mercenary on the battlefield and was known as the Grim Reaper.
Carnage had played a large part in Hekati's current achievements.
Among them, Carnage had been Hekati's Head Instructor for internal training. Carnage was the one who had taught the upper echelons of the upper echelons present. That painful experience had been hell for them. Xuan Cang, for example, was also a result of Carnage's guidance.
They were very familiar with Carnage's personality.
Carnage rarely lost his temper, but when he did, it was as if hell had descended upon them. At this moment, they could already feel Carnage's rage.
However, after giving the matter some thought, they found it reasonable.
Of the 3,000 elite and expert players the Guild had sent, over 2,000 had died. Not even the Centurion Dynasty had suffered such a loss, yet ten Asura Adventurers players had annihilated the Guild.
The Guild had spent an astronomical amount of resources to nurture its elite and expert players. This time, Asura Adventurers had only brought a total of 1,000 experts to Cold Wind City. After arriving in Cold Wind City and absorbing Matchless Family's strength, Asura Adventurers had grown to over 10,000 elite and expert players. Meanwhile, of the 3,000 players Xuan Cang had brought with him, nearly 400 were original Guild experts. Now, Asura Adventurers had lost over 2,000 players, and over 300 of their original Guild experts had died. That was more than one-third of Asura Adventurers' total combat power in Cold Wind City. This was a heavy loss.
The loss of levels wasn't the main concern, but the loss of weapons and equipment.
In the Ice Crystal World, the weapons and equipment of Guild elites and experts were mainly produced by Lifestyle players. However, there were very few Lifestyle players capable of producing such high-quality equipment. The materials required to produce Secret-Silver Weapons and Equipment were especially precious and difficult to obtain.
However, according to the post-war statistics, they had lost over 200 pieces of Level 50 Secret-Silver Equipment. At this stage of the game, it took a lot of time to obtain even one piece of Level 50 Secret-Silver Equipment, not to mention over 200 pieces. This would severely affect their exploration progress in the Snow Rift.
"Vice Guild Leader, we've already investigated the matter thoroughly. The people targeting us this time are all experts from the Asura Adventurers. I've heard that these experts were recruited by their commander to complete a quest. However, what's strange is that they weren't originally this strong. We don't know how they gained their current combat power," a Level 52 Elementalist reported.
"Did he suddenly become stronger?" Carnage's lips curled into a smile as he read the report. "This is interesting. Not only did a group of boorish mountain barbarians gain a significant boost to their Basic Attributes, but their combat standards have also improved. It seems that the Asura Adventurers have quite a big secret.
"Investigate this matter immediately! Do whatever it takes to uncover the secret of the Asura Adventurers! As long as Hekati obtains this secret, it won't be long before Hekati becomes the number one Guild in the north!
"Right, notify the headquarters and have the Twelve Heavens make a trip to Cold Wind City."
Upon hearing Carnage's command, everyone was stunned.
They never thought that Carnage would summon the Twelve Heavens. The Twelve Heavens were Hekati's apex combatants. Aside from Carnage, Xuan Cang was the strongest player in Cold Wind City. Even so, Xuan Cang wasn't qualified to join the Twelve Heavens. At most, he could only be considered a reserve member.
Normally, these twelve experts were scattered throughout Hekati's various Branch Guilds, but now, all of them had gathered together. Just thinking about it was frightening.
The last time they had gathered together, they had faced a super-first-rate Guild's army. In the end, the super-first-rate Guild had no choice but to abandon the town Hekati had occupied. Now, however, the Twelve Heavens had mobilized all twelve to deal with a single adventurer team. This was simply insane …
Elsewhere, Shifeng had already returned to Cold Wind City with Lifeless Thorn and the others.
After returning to Cold Wind City, Shi Feng discovered that the city looked the same as before. The city's player population hadn't increased by much. Most of the city's players were new to God's Domain, while the rest were Hekati's Guild members. Unlike on the continent of God's Domain, players could freely travel between cities.
In the Ice Crystal World, players had to open a gate between two regions to travel between cities. Similarly, there were also special passageways that allowed players to travel between two regions. However, these passageways were very troublesome to activate and had many restrictions. Hence, ordinary players couldn't freely travel between cities.
At this moment, Asura Adventurers's Residence was surrounded by Asura Adventurers members, all of whom were welcoming the return of Shifeng and the others.
"It's the commander! The commander is back! "
"All hail the commander!"
"Asura is invincible!"
The Asura Adventurers members were incomparably excited when they saw Shifeng. Their shouts echoed throughout Cold Wind City's streets, and the independent players who had come to join in the fun felt their blood boil.
Due to the battle between Shifeng and Hekati, the Asura Adventurers' fame in Cold Wind City had returned to its peak. In fact, it had even surpassed its peak. The strength that Shifeng and the others had displayed had deeply attracted the attention of Cold Wind City's independent players, and every one of them wanted to join the Asura Adventurers.
"Commander, I'm afraid that the Asura Adventurers will become a target of Cold Wind City's various large Guilds now," Solitary Nine said, smiling bitterly as he looked at the street full of players.
Guilds' targets were NPC cities. However, NPC cities in the Ice Crystal World were slightly different from those on the continent of God's Domain. Players could only control a small portion of the city, and doing so required a large number of player support and a series of contributions to the city.
The strength of the Asura Adventurers this time was completely different from before.
Currently, aside from the Asura Adventurers, there were hundreds of thousands of independent players on the streets. One could easily imagine how powerful and influential the Asura Adventurers were in Cold Wind City right now. With such a standard, the Asura Adventurers only needed to complete a series of contributions to the city to take control of Cold Wind City and become the city's true overlord.
Hence, how could Cold Wind City's various large Guilds possibly let the Asura Adventurers off the hook?
They would definitely treat the Asura Adventurers as a thorn in their side, and they would be happy to uproot them.
"It doesn't matter. If they want to fight, we'll gladly oblige," Shifeng said, chuckling. "Moreover, my original goal was to take control of Cold Wind City and make it the Asura Adventurers' foundation."
Solitary Nine and the others were stunned when they heard Shi Feng's words.
Originally, they had thought that the Shifeng's goal was to complete a quest. Now, however, it would seem that the Shifeng's goal was much greater than they had imagined.
An adventurer team wanting to take control of an NPC city was simply insane.
