Dark Night Empire, Dark Night City:
The bustling commercial street was bustling with activity. Players who visited the city for the first time would be amazed by the city's prosperity. Level 55-plus players in Level 50 Secret-Silver Equipment could be seen everywhere. There were even Tier 2 experts.
Starlink's Residence was even more eye-catching in the city's bustling center.
Players from other cities in the Dark Night Empire gathered here to participate in Starlink's entrance examination.
"It feels like more players are coming to Starlink for the entrance examination. I've heard that players from the empire aren't the only ones coming. Players from the neighboring kingdoms are also trying to join the Guild."
"That's only natural. I've heard that Starlink has obtained a Magic Crystal vein. Not only does the Guild have ample Magic Crystals, but it has also opened a path to the Sea of Trees."
"The Sea of Trees? Are you talking about the Dark Night Empire's legendary fantasy city, the Sea of Trees? "
"Of course. What else did you think it was? I've heard that the Sea of Trees is a wonderful place. The city is protected by the Six Great Primordial Elf Kings, and it has a special path to the Tier 2 Promotion Quest. Players don't even need to complete their Tier 2 Promotion Quests. The Tier 2 Promotion Quest is relatively easy. However, the Tier 2 Promotion Quest isn't an existing Tier 2 class, but a specific Tier 2 class. "
"A specific Tier 2 class?"
"That's right. I've heard that it's a support class that's between a melee class and a Mage class. It's not an DPS class like a Berserker or an Elementalist. It's also not a healer like a Cleric or an Oracle."
"That's still awesome! It's a Tier 2 class, after all. The promotion to Tier 2 is so difficult right now. Even if large Guilds invest everything they have into nurturing players, very few will succeed. I wonder when we'll be able to enter the Sea of Trees? If I can't complete my Tier 2 Promotion Quest, becoming a Tier 2 Bard wouldn't be a bad idea. At the very least, a Tier 2 Bard won't be much stronger than a Tier 1 Berserker like me. "
"Dream on. That's the Sea of Trees we're talking about. It's not that easy to enter the Sea of Trees. Only Starlink, which opened the path to the Sea of Trees, can bring more players in. Why else do you think experts from other kingdoms are rushing here? Aren't they trying to join Starlink and earn a chance to enter the Sea of Trees? "
…
When the independent players on the street saw Starlink's long line of players, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
Although they wished to join Starlink, the Guild was a superpower that could even contend with super-first-rate Guilds. The Guild's recruitment requirements were extraordinarily high. Not just anyone could join the Guild.
Meanwhile, inside the Guild Leader's office on the top floor of Starlink's Residence, over a dozen Tier 2 players stood silently.
"Damn that Unyielding Soul! They actually got the First Clear of a Hell Mode Dungeon before us and successfully promoted their Guild to 3-star!" Lu Xingluo frowned and glared at the crowd. "What's going on here? We've clearly been in the lead in the Instance Dungeon all this while. Why did Unyielding Soul take the First Clear in the end? "
"Guild Leader, according to the information I've received, Unyielding Soul has suddenly obtained a batch of powerful weapons and support tools, greatly increasing their team's combat power. Hence, they managed to secure the First Kill ahead of us," Dawn Web, a Level 57, Tier 2 Elementalist, explained.
"Obtained a batch of powerful weapons? How is that possible? "Lu Xingluo was confused.
After all was said and done, Unyielding Soul was a super-first-rate Guild. The equipment its main force wore was among the best in God's Domain. Even if it borrowed equipment from other Guilds, it shouldn't have increased its combat power by a large margin.
"It's true. According to our spies, these weapons are all Level 55 Dark-Gold Weapons," Dawn Web replied. He then sent the weapons' information to Lu Xingluo. "Although these Level 55 Dark-Gold Weapons aren't as good as actual Level 55 Dark-Gold Weapons in terms of Basic Attributes, they're still superior to current Level 50 Dark-Gold Weapons. Hence, Unyielding Soul's main force's DPS has increased by a large margin."
"Level 55 Dark-Gold Weapons? How did they get their hands on them? Even Super Guilds need these items. Why would they sell them so easily? "Lu Xingluo asked, surprised.
"According to our spies, we've confirmed that these weapons came from the Ling YI Society. The Ling YI Society seems to have used some special means to obtain these weapons," Dawn Web said. "I've already sent someone to investigate the Ling YI Society. However, the Ling YI Society is too secretive in this regard. Even now, we still haven't found out where these weapons came from. However, based on my guess, it's very likely that the Ling YI Society's forgers produced these weapons.
"Right now, the various large Guilds are already having a hard time raiding Level 50 Team Dungeons. Aside from completing special quests or killing Field Bosses by chance, it's impossible to obtain Level 55 Dark-Gold Weapons. Not to mention, Ling Yi can sell these weapons to Unyielding Soul in bulk. It's very likely that one of Ling Yi's forgers was lucky enough to create Level 55 Dark-Gold Weapons or obtain a Level 55 Dark-Gold Forging Design."
"The Ling YI Society, is it?" Lu Xingluo's expression darkened slightly. "I heard that Ling Yi suddenly launched an attack on Ancient Rock City. What's the result so far?"
He was already furious that the Ling YI Society had dared to defy him. Now, the Ling YI Society had even made a deal with his rival, Unyielding Soul, which had been on the verge of collapse, had revived, becoming even more troublesome to deal with. One could say that the Ling YI Society was the instigator.
"They didn't succeed," Dawn Web said softly after giving the matter some thought.
"Of course, I know that. That's Beast Emperor we're talking about. How could he possibly be so easy to deal with? Not to mention, he was extremely lucky to obtain the Evil God's Temple's Legacy, "Lu Xingluo said, nodding." I'm talking about Ling Yi's current losses. "
"None. After failing to capture Ancient Rock City, Ling Yi used a powerful Magic Scroll to stop the Evil Beast army. Afterward, he quickly retreated," Dawn Web explained. "Although the Ling YI Society failed to capture Ancient Rock City, Ling Yi managed to capture the Dark Witch's Tower, one of the Orc Empire's Dark Teleportation Points …"
"How is that possible?" Lu Xingluo's eyes widened in shock. "Wasn't Dark Soul stationed in that Dark Teleportation Point?"
Although he didn't know how powerful the Dark Witch's Tower was, it normally had NPCs guarding it. Even a superpower would have to pay an unimaginable price to capture the Dark Witch's Tower, not to mention the Ling YI Society. Moreover, the Ling YI Society had been waging war against Ancient Rock City while simultaneously attacking the Dark Witch's Tower.
"That's right. Ling Yi used a war weapon that had never been seen before in the Dark Witch's Tower. This war weapon is similar to a mobile, miniature Magic Tower. It also possesses extremely high Defense, which was why the Dark Witch's Tower was destroyed. Currently, the various major powers are investigating this new weapon in an attempt to obtain it," Dawn Web said, nodding. She then sent a battle video of the Dark Witch's Tower to Lu Xingluo.
"A Level 55 Dark-Gold Weapon and a war chariot? The Ling YI Society really has exceeded my expectations." After watching the battle video, Lu Xingluo's lips curled up into a smile. "Very good. Originally, I had only planned to destroy Ling Yi, but now, it seems that the Ling YI Society still has some value. Notify the subordinates to change their target. I want to obtain all of these things!"
"What about the Sea of Trees? I went to great lengths to obtain the eight keys in the Thorny Fortress. Are we really going to give up now? "Dawn Web asked hurriedly.
"Of course not. Let's deal with the Sea of Trees first. Afterward, we'll deal with the Ling YI Society," Lu Xingluo said, shaking his head. Lu Xingluo suppressed the greed in his eyes as he looked at the Hell Tank in the video. "Alright, you should go and prepare yourself."
"Understood!" Dawn Web nodded. She then led her subordinates out of the Guild Leader's office. …
Meanwhile, back in Silverwing Town, the triumphant return of Ling Yi's army sent the town into an uproar. Although Ling Yi's army had failed to capture Ancient Rock City, it had lost the Dark Witch's Tower. From now on, Silverwing Town would no longer be threatened by Dark Players. In addition, with Ling Yi's members garrisoned in the Secret Stone Fortress, the Ling YI Society would have full control over the entire Ore Empire's southeastern region.
With the Ore Empire's abundant leveling resources, the Ling YI Society's development speed could be easily predicted.
For a time, many independent players from other kingdoms visited Silverwing Town, hoping to join the Ling YI Society. Many of them were expert players. Previously, although they had thought highly of Ling Yi, they had thought that it would only be temporary.
However, things were different now. With the Guild's strength and the frightening Hell Chariot, the Ling YI Society had already secured a foothold in the Ore Empire. Naturally, they had no reason to hesitate.
"Guild Leader, those superpowers' representatives have left. They all congratulated us on garrisoning the Secret Stone Fortress," Shifter Shi Feng said, smiling as he watched Shi Feng collect his loot. "However, King's Return's Hell Fiend looked very reluctant. You didn't see how hilarious that was." "Oh, right.
"It seems they've given up on pressuring us." Shifeng nodded. He did not find this situation strange. After all, it was normal for them to give up. If they continued to fight, neither side would benefit.
"Right, Unyielding Heart is here. He even brought a few people with him. He says he wants to meet you and discuss a big deal with you," Shifter Shi Feng said. "They are now waiting in the VIP reception room on the second floor. Do you want to meet them?" "Yes, I'm here.
"Are you talking about a big deal? Alright, let's go take a look. "
