Rows of Level 150 NPC soldiers stood in formation on the street filled with players.
When Xiang Shifeng, a Level 150, Tier 3 patrol captain, spoke, everyone was stunned.
"How is this possible?!"
"Why aren't the NPC soldiers arresting him?"
"Who is he?"
"Is there a bug in the system?"
Questions popped up in everyone's minds. Sin Realm's members, in particular, were stupefied.
The scene before them had turned their worldview upside down.
It was common knowledge in God's Domain that anyone who dared to attack an NPC city first would die. This was an ironclad rule.
Now, however, such a rule had been broken. Even the strict enforcers had to treat Shi Feng with respect.
"Brother! Am I dreaming? "Cool Summer tugged at Smiling Breeze's sleeve as she stared at Shifeng in disbelief.
As one of the Purple Thorns Kingdom's most important cities, Glory Town's management was second only to that of NPC cities. NPCs definitely wouldn't allow players to kill players in the city. At the very least, they would kill players on the spot and lock them up for two or three days. No matter how one looked at it, they shouldn't go unpunished.
Cool Summer wasn't the only one stunned. Even Smiling Breeze was at a loss for words. He didn't know how to answer this question.
However, Shifeng wasn't particularly surprised by the NPC soldiers' actions.
Since he was a Bronze Legatee, he enjoyed the status of a Baron in any NPC city. Although the Baron rank wasn't particularly high, being the lowest rank of nobility, the treatment one could enjoy in an NPC city was completely different from that of a non-titled Baron.
Although Sin Realm's Assassin hadn't attacked him, the Assassin had used a Tracking Skill on him. Using a Tracking Skill on an ordinary player in an NPC city wasn't a big deal, but using it on a Baron would result in a premeditated attack. Even if he killed the Assassin on the spot, the NPC soldiers wouldn't object.
Needless to say, Sin Realm's other players had attacked him. Although they hadn't hit him, he could still kill them if they tried to attack him. This was the true benefit of being a Noble.
Of course, if both of them were Nobles, if one of them only intended to attack while the other directly injured the other, the NPC would determine that the one who caused the injury was at fault and immediately arrest him.
In a high-level town like Glory Town, even nobles might not be present, much less nobles. Naturally, he didn't need to hold back. He could just kill them.
"These people attacked me. According to the rules, what's the heaviest punishment for them?" Shifeng pointed at Crocodile Breaker and the others and asked the patrol captain with a smile.
"Honorable Bronze Legatee, they attacked a Noble in the town. According to the town's rules, they can only be imprisoned for three days," the patrol captain said coldly as he glanced at Crocodile Breaker and the others.
"Alright, then lock them up for three days." The Shifeng nodded.
"Yes!"
Hearing this, the patrol captain gestured for the other NPC guards to take action and capture Crocodile Breaker and the others.
When the players on the street saw the NPC soldiers begin to arrest Sin Realm's members, they gaped in shock.
The Shifeng had clearly attacked first, yet they had to capture Sin Realm's members. Sin Realm had suffered a huge loss this time.
"Damn it! Why does he have a Noble title in Glory Town?! "Crocodile Breaker's expression darkened.
He knew that Nobles were special, but he had never thought that Shifeng would receive such treatment in Glory Town. Being imprisoned for three days was even more unacceptable than losing a level.
Time was money in God's Domain, after all. Gaining three days' worth of time wasn't a trivial matter. It wasn't just a matter of levels, but also weapons, equipment, and Skills.
"Boss, what should we do?" Sin Realm's members grew anxious as they watched the NPC soldiers approach.
They had three days!
That was the equivalent of not being able to play God's Domain for three days. To these players, who had long since grown accustomed to life in God's Domain, this was worse than death. After all, life in God's Domain had long since become a part of their lives.
"Retreat! Everyone, retreat! Retreat as much as you can! "Crocodile Breaker shouted, gritting his teeth.
Escaping from Glory Town was their only option. If they were imprisoned for three days, they'd be doomed.
At Crocodile Breaker's command, Sin Realm's members no longer held back. They took out their Lifesaving Tools and scattered. Taking on the NPC soldiers was a joke.
A Level 150, Tier 2 NPC soldier could kill them with a single hit. Fighting them head-on would be suicidal. Not only would they die, but they'd also be imprisoned for three days.
Meanwhile, Smiling Breeze and Cool Summer breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Sin Realm's members begin to retreat.
As long as Sin Realm's members retreated, they'd have a much easier time escaping. At worst, they'd just have to leave the Purple Thorns Kingdom. Although doing so would cripple their early efforts in the kingdom, it was better than being hunted down.
While Sin Realm's members were retreating, Crocodile Breaker pulled a Magic Scroll from his bag and unfurled it.
Suddenly, a pitch-black magic array appeared above the street, radiating a dense aura of death. The magic array then surged towards Shifeng and Smiling Breeze. The magic array was as fast as lightning, and it was impossible to dodge.
However, the aura of death did not deal any damage to the Shifeng and Smiling Breeze siblings. They only received a special status.
Death Mark!
No matter where a player fled to, even if they went offline, the Death Mark would reveal their location for 12 hours.
"I don't know who you are. However, there's only one consequence for making an enemy out of our Sin Domain in the Purple Thorns Kingdom, and that's death! " Crocodile Breaker glared at Shi Feng, who had been marked with a Death Mark, killing intent filling his bloodshot eyes. His voice echoed throughout the street, and the killing intent in his voice sent chills down the many expert players' spines.
Originally, Shi Feng had wanted to establish his might by killing the Shifeng. He had never imagined that he would end up being toyed with by a nameless pawn. Instead, he had damaged Sin Realm's reputation. Now, Shi Feng was determined to kill the Shifeng. As for Smiling Breeze and Cool Summer, he would not let them off the hook, either.
"It's over! This time, they're done for! "
"I knew this would happen! Making an enemy out of Sin Domain in the Purple Thorns Kingdom is suicide! Nobody can save them now!"
The many expert players and adventurer team members present could not help but sigh. They could see how important this matter was to Crocodile Breaker. He wouldn't let this matter rest so easily. At the very least, he'd kill Sin Domain back to Level 0. In the worst case scenario, he'd delete his account and start all over again …
Meanwhile, Smiling Breeze and Cool Summer wore gloomy expressions.
They could tell that even if they left the Purple Thorns Kingdom, Sin Domain would most likely hunt them down.
"Is that so? Sin Domain is welcome to try, then! "
Shifeng said, glancing at Crocodile Breaker, who was about to activate an Instantaneous Movement Scroll. He then activated Instant Strike and appeared before the Assassin, brandishing Killing Ray.
