Dark Night Empire, Shadow City, Dark Soul's main headquarters:
"This Ling YI Society sure is interesting. I don't know if I should praise them for their bravery or for overestimating themselves. They've actually established so many powers that they shouldn't have provoked. Not only did they anger Lu Xingluo, but now, even Blackwater is trying to annihilate them," Tiger Breaker said, smiling faintly as he read the report he had just received.
The report he read was none other than Blackwater's official declaration of war against the Ling YI Society.
Blackwater's move this time was extremely ruthless. It was purely a competition of wealth. Not only could Blackwater destroy the Ling YI Society without expending a single soldier, but it could also gather a large number of players to the Crimson Flame Fortress. In addition, Blackwater could recruit peak experts. It was killing three birds with one stone.
Although the Ling YI Society's foundations were impressive, they were on a completely different level compared to Blackwater. It wouldn't be long before Blackwater crushed the Ling YI Society's finances.
"Alliance Master, are we still going to act according to plan?" Pathless, a Tier 2 Elementalist, asked quietly.
"Of course. Originally, only Starlink had been responsible for the war. Now that Blackwater has joined the fray, not only will we need to act according to plan, but we'll also need to dispatch more people," Tiger Breaker said, chuckling. Tiger Breaker sneered. "Previously, Zero Wing made Dark Soul suffer a little. Now, it's time to return the favor tenfold! Notify all adventurer teams immediately and have them send their elites to the Orc Empire. This time, you'll follow them personally. We must show the Ling YI Society just how powerful Dark Soul is! "
"Understood!" Pathless nodded, excitement flashing in his eyes.
Ever since Dark Soul had grown stronger, as the strongest adventurer team in Dark Soul, they had rarely taken action themselves. Instead, they had relied on adventurer teams like the Dark Hunters and Shadow Claw to take care of the Orc Empire.
White River City, Adventurer's Association:
As soon as Shifeng set foot in the hall, he discovered that the players inside were all discussing the matter regarding Blackwater and the Crimson Flame Fortress.
"Blackwater really is amazing. It captured the Crimson Flame Fortress so quickly. With this, we'll have a much easier time exploring the Orc Empire. I've heard that the Crimson Flame Fortress is similar to Ling Yi City and can teleport players to a designated location. With this, we'll be able to avoid the Orc Empire's internal checkpoints and move directly into the empire's core region."
"That's right. I've heard that the Orc Empire's core area is a treasure trove. Not only are there plenty of rare ores and herbs, but the monsters there also provide far more EXP than the core area. If we can enter the Orc Capital City Regional Dungeon, we'll be even more amazing. The monsters inside have a chance of dropping Magic Crystals."
"I've heard that as well. The Orc Capital City is an extremely rare Asura Mode Regional Dungeon. It's a Level 50 to Level 100 super-large-scale Regional Dungeon. Including the fact that it's a neutral map, the loot inside is incomparable to that of other Regional Dungeons."
"However, the Ling YI Society is in trouble now. With Blackwater's ruthless move, I'm afraid that the Ling YI Society will have a hard time surviving in the Orc Empire."
"I've heard that many well-known and top adventurer teams tried to garrison Silverwing Town, but many failed. Now, those adventurer teams must be regretting their decisions."
…
When the players in the hall talked about the Crimson Flame Fortress, their eyes glowed with excitement. As for the Ling YI Society, they couldn't help but shake their heads. They weren't optimistic about the Ling YI Society's situation. After all, the gap between the two sides was simply too massive. Previously, the Ling YI Society had relied on Silverwing Town to gain an advantage, but now that Blackwater had the Crimson Flame Fortress, that advantage was gone.
"News sure travels fast." Shifeng revealed a bitter smile as he listened to the discussions. It seems Blackwater has long since prepared for this. Was it simply waiting for this moment to arrive?
Not long after Blackwater announced the Crimson Flame Fortress, White River City's players were already talking about it. No matter how he thought about it, such a situation was unlikely.
It was normal for the various powers' upper echelons to learn of the situation immediately. After all, the various powers' intelligence agencies were scattered all over the continent. As long as something happened in a particular location, they would immediately report it. However, it was different for ordinary players. Normally, players spread the news from player to player. It would take some time for everyone to learn of the situation.
Yet, as soon as he received news about Gentle Snow, these ordinary players in the Adventurer's Association were already talking about it. This speed was a little too fast.
The only possibility was that Blackwater was deliberately spreading the news, secretly building momentum.
However, Shifeng didn't care about this matter. He then made his way to the Adventurer's Association's second-floor hall.
As Shifeng arrived at the second-floor hall and approached the VIP counter, he suddenly received a call from the system. The person who had contacted him was none other than Feng Qianyu.
"President Hei Yan, I've just received news that Blackwater has publicly declared war on the Ling YI Society. As an ally, may I know how I can help you?" Feng Qianyu asked.
The Ling YI Society was developing rapidly. Moreover, the Guild's naval forces were growing stronger. It had been of great help to her on Thunder Island. Previously, she hadn't had much time to spare. Now, however, she had a much easier time. Naturally, the Ling YI Society should reciprocate.
"Since Phoenix Pavilion Master has said so, I won't hold back. I've also received news that Blackwater has been very close to Nine Dragons Emperor recently. I'm guessing that Nine Dragons Emperor has helped us a lot in the Crimson Flame Fortress. I hope you can delay Nine Dragons Emperor," Shifeng said gratefully.
"That won't be a problem. I'll send some people to give Nine Dragons Emperor some trouble. Once that happens, he shouldn't have the time to deal with the Ore Empire," Feng Qianyu said, nodding. "However, Blackwater and Beast Emperor are still working together. Their combat power out in the fields should not be underestimated. I can have Blue Phoenix lead a group of elites to Thunder Island. Although they won't be able to contend with Blackwater and Beast Emperor, they should be able to intimidate the Dark Players and force them to restrain themselves."
"That won't be necessary. After all is said and done, Blue Phoenix is one of your trusted aides. I'm sure she has plenty of matters to attend to," Feng Qianyu said, chuckling. "As for Blackwater, Beast Emperor, and Dark Players, I've already made some preparations. They won't be able to deal with the Ling YI Society so easily."
Shi Feng knew that Feng Qianyu wasn't having an easy time. The competition on Thunder Island was far more troublesome than the competition in the Ore Empire. Every superpower had extraordinary foundations. If Feng Qianyu wasn't careful, he'd be kicked out of the competition. Feng Qianyu would be fortunate if he could help restrain Nine Dragons Emperor.
"Alright, then. If you run into a shortage of funds, you can contact me at any time." Feng Qianyu was a little surprised by Shifeng's rejection. However, since Shifeng had said so, she couldn't force the issue.
Following which, after chatting for a while about the Dark Corrosion Set, Feng Qianyu disconnected the call.
"Big Sis Rain, what's the situation with the Ling YI Society? Do you need me to lead some people over? "Blue Phoenix asked curiously.
"You shouldn't go for now. The Ling YI Society seems to have made some preparations. However, Blackwater is serious this time. I doubt the Ling YI Society can hold out for long. You should make the necessary preparations," Feng Qianyu said.
"I understand." Blue Phoenix nodded. She felt that the Ling YI Society was a little careless.
After occupying the Iron Empire, Blackwater had developed rapidly. Even the Great Pavilion Master was impressed. Currently, Blackwater had far more experts than the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion. The Guild only lacked Domain Realm experts. However, Blackwater had the means to deal with Domain Realm experts. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to oust the other super-first-rate Guilds and occupy the Iron Empire.
Meanwhile, inside the Adventurer's Association's VIP reception room …
"Esteemed Protector, is there anything I can do for you?" An NPC senior administrator asked respectfully as he entered the VIP reception room, smiling at Xiang Shifeng.
