Starmoon Kingdom, White River City:
As soon as the Shifeng stepped out of the crowded Teleportation Hall, they noticed that the city's atmosphere had changed.
The killing intent and oppressive atmosphere had vanished. Far fewer Guild members roamed White River City's streets. On the contrary, more players from adventurer teams roamed the streets.
Players could be heard discussing the Witch's Hill as they walked through the city's crowded streets.
"Zero Wing is too amazing this time! It captured two of the Starlight Alliance's towns in one go! Even superpowers aren't necessarily capable of such a feat!"
"Who would've thought that Ling Yi would have such a powerful foundation? Because of this incident, the Starlight Alliance has disbanded, and the various corporations have withdrawn their investments. It won't be long before Ling Yi purges the Alliance from Starmoon Kingdom."
"It's the Starlight Alliance's fault for being so arrogant. They actually dared to make an enemy out of Ling Yi. They should've seen how Ling Yi became Starmoon Kingdom's overlord. Now, they're probably regretting their decision."
"I know, right? I've heard that Ling Yi's Giant players were responsible for capturing the two towns. They're over four meters tall, and not only are they incredibly strong, but their Defense is also ridiculously high. They can even tank Defense Turrets' attacks. With the terrain advantage, who would dare challenge Ling Yi? I really don't know how Ling Yi managed to convert so many players into Giants. It would be great if I could convert myself into a Giant player. "
"That's simple. Just join the Ling Yi Society. Since the Ling Yi Society can convert so many players into Giants, it can naturally convert even more. Only, I wonder what kind of price it'll have to pay?"
"That's right! Because of this incident, many of the Starmoon Kingdom's independent experts have joined Ling Yi, all for the sake of obtaining a slot to become a Giant player. Although it's inconvenient for us to move around in human cities as a neutral race, our combat power is undeniable. Moreover, when we reach higher levels in the future, we'll be able to move around in larger neutral maps, so it's no longer a problem for us to travel to human cities. "
"Actually, there's no need to join Ling Yi. I've heard that not only the Guilds of the Starmoon Kingdom, but also the other major powers in the neighboring Starmoon Kingdom have begun to investigate the Giant players. They all want their own experts to become Giant players. It's only a matter of time before they discover the conditions to transform into a Giant. Independent players like us still have a chance."
…
The independent players on the street discussed the battle in the Witch's Hill. When the topic of the Giant players came up, their eyes glowed with excitement. They all wished they could transform into Giant players right now.
Whether it was independent players or the various major powers, everyone on the streets was fervently interested in Giant players. It was as if an era of Giant players had begun.
In response, Shifeng simply smiled as he made his way to Candlelight.
The Giant race was very powerful, but they also had an obvious weakness, which was the difficulty of their promotion. Without the support of a Guild, they'd struggle to reach Tier 3 even if they wanted to.
To increase Ling Yi's advantage, Shi Feng had decided to transform the 1,000 Shield Warriors and Berserkers into Giants. Normally, players had to make the decision themselves.
Of course, players could also transform back into Giants at the cost of a few levels. However, compared to the advantages they'd accumulated at Tier 2, the loss of a few levels wasn't a major issue. Moreover, he could also discover the truly outstanding players as soon as possible. After all, before transforming into a Giant, nobody knew if they were suitable or not. With the Titan Bloodline, Shi Feng could reduce the difficulty of Giant players' promotion, allowing these Giant experts to shine much sooner.
Shiuse Qiangwei and Youlan both expressed their concerns about the various large Guilds investigating the Giant transformation. However, Shifeng didn't mind at all. After all, it was only a matter of time before Thunder Axe City was discovered. After all, he had already opened a teleportation gate to the city.
It would take a lot of time for players to transform into Giants. During this time, Ling Yi would've long since secured the upper hand.
A short moment later, Shifeng arrived at Candlelight. A Melancholy Smile had already prepared the necessary materials and manpower to produce the Guardian Puppets.
After all, this was far more meaningful than increasing the number of Giant players.
In the past, the various second- and third-rate Guilds had been able to survive under the watchful eyes of first-rate and superpowers largely because of the Guardian Puppets.
Sin Realm's decision to use the Steel Puppets to surround and kill him had been foolish. After all, the Guardian Puppets weren't meant to kill individual players. Their true value lay in sieging and defending cities.
If Sin Realm had used the Steel Puppets to defend Golden Flow Town, the difficulty of capturing the town would've risen to a whole new level. If Sin Realm's Steel Puppets reached a sufficient number, he'd have no choice but to give up.
Similarly, if he could produce a sufficient number of Guardian Puppets, the various superpowers would no longer pose a threat to him. This was especially true for the Evil God's Temple.
Meanwhile, inside the spacious Special Forging Room, a small mountain of materials lay on the table before Shi Feng. These materials were only a fraction of what he needed to produce the Guardian Puppets' power source.
"Let's begin!" Shifeng took a deep breath as he looked at the materials and design before him. He then activated the Soul Fire and Philosopher's Hand's Abilities, swiftly refining the Titan Iron Ingots and Mana Stones on the table.
The most difficult part of producing the Guardian Puppets was the power source. At the very least, one needed to be an Intermediate Master Forger. Even so, the success rate was extremely low. However, with the Philosopher's Hand's buff, Shifeng could reach the Advanced Master Forger standard for a short time. This was why Shifeng had dared to try.
Time passed quickly. One and a half days after Shifeng began producing the Guardian Puppets …
Dark Night Empire, Silver Pine City:
As the Dark Night Empire's seventh-largest city, Silver Pine City was under the Hundred Flowers Palace's jurisdiction. However, the various large Guilds currently roamed the city. It didn't seem like the Palace's territory at all.
Meanwhile, the Hundred Flowers Palace's Residence, which had been the most lively in Silver Pine City, was deathly silent.
The Guild's players in the first-floor hall were surprised to see the Guild's upper echelons appear one after another. Many of these upper echelons were from other kingdoms and empires. Even the Guild's Grand Elders, whom they normally didn't get the chance to meet, were present.
"What's going on? Why are all of the Guild's upper echelons here? "
"Isn't that Crimson Heart, the First Vice Guild Leader of the Holy Hill Kingdom's Branch Guild? She's actually willing to come? "
When the Hundred Flowers Palace's players saw a valiant woman with crimson eyes and silvery-white armor walk into the hall, a commotion broke out among the players in the hall.
Although Crimson Heart was the Guild's First Vice Guild Leader, her ideals differed from the Guild Leader's. She had led a group of her own people to develop in the Holy Hill Kingdom, and her development there had been very successful. She had only ignored the Hundred Flowers Palace's affairs. Even when the Guild had been forced to leave the Dark Night Empire, she hadn't made an appearance.
They had never thought that she would actually show up now …
When the Hundred Flowers Palace's members saw the three players behind Crimson Heart, their jaws dropped. Among the three players, the highest level was actually Level 61. With that level, they could rank among the top 30 players in the Dark Night Empire. Moreover, all three players wore Level 60 equipment, with the weakest piece being Level 60 Secret-Silver rank. Even the various superpowers' top equipment was extremely rare. In addition, the three players wore several pieces of Level 60 Fine-Gold Equipment. Most importantly, all three players wore two or three pieces of Epic Equipment. Their equipment was simply extravagant.
Many of the Hundred Flowers Palace's upper echelons were astonished. They had never thought that Crimson Heart would develop so well in the Holy Hill Kingdom.
"Crimson Heart, you're finally here. I thought you were planning to give up on the Hundred Flowers Palace completely," a Level 60 Berserker said when he saw Crimson Heart. A Level 60, Tier 2 Berserker carrying a greatsword on his back said, chuckling when he saw Crimson Heart enter the meeting room.
"My thoughts differ from the Guild Leader's, but I am still a member of the Hundred Flowers Palace. Naturally, I have to come for such an important matter. Moreover, Cleansed Rue has fallen too far this time. The Hundred Flowers Palace can resolve this matter on its own. We don't need an outsider's help!" Crimson Heart said, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes.
As Crimson Heart spoke, a commotion broke out outside the meeting room.
