"Capture the Northern Fortress?"
Phoenix Rain's eyes widened in shock. She was at a loss for words.
There were quite a few fortresses in the Gravity Mountain Range. There were over a dozen fortresses of varying sizes scattered throughout the mountain range. The Northern Fortress was a Medium Fortress in the northern region of the Gravity Mountain Range. It was the largest fortress in the northern region.
Previously, Thirteen Thrones and Starlink had only managed to capture a Small Fortress after exhausting all of their trump cards.
Although the Northern Fortress looked like a Small Fortress, even Dragonheart Island's other Super Guilds had yet to capture one.
No matter how Phoenix Rain thought about it, it was impossible to capture a Medium Fortress. Even if the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion and Ling Yi went all-out, they had less than a 10% chance of capturing a Small Fortress.
"That's right. Ling Yi's strength is still lacking, so I hope to borrow 30,000 elites from you," Shifeng said, nodding. "Of course, I won't lend them to you for free. If you capture the Northern Fortress, I'll give you 20% of the fortress's shares."
Ling Yi's main force was currently stationed in the Bottomless Abyss and the Ore Empire. He didn't have many people in Dragonheart City. Although he could transfer some of his forces to Dragonheart City, it would take too much time. He couldn't afford to wait.
The main reason why the Gravity Mountain Range's fortresses were so difficult to raid was because they were guarded by Level 100-plus Mythic monsters. Moreover, aside from Level 100-plus Mythic monsters, there were also a large number of Level 100-plus Great Lords and Grand Lords. Although Small Fortresses had fewer Level 100-plus monsters, Medium Fortresses had far more.
In addition, the monsters in Medium Fortresses moved like an army. It was almost as if they were attacking a player's fortress. Hence, clearing these Medium Fortresses was incredibly difficult.
Ling Yi would've been impossible in the past, but things were different now.
While he had been in the Tower of Four Gods, Anna and Kite had reached Level 100 and completed their Tier 3 Promotion Quests. In addition, he now had the Bible of Darkness, which allowed him to summon Level 100-plus, Tier 3 Demons. He could now challenge a Medium Fortress.
Although it would be safer to challenge a Small Fortress now, the Northern Fortress was close to the Gravity Mountain Range's ore vein. Not only could the ore be used to craft ships, but it was also the main material for crafting Level 100-plus weapons and equipment.
Level 100 was a huge dividing line!
This was especially obvious when it came to equipment. Epic Weapons and Equipment were a clear indication of this. The majority of Epic Weapons and Equipment that players obtained below Level 100 could only be used until they reached Level 100. In other words, after Level 100, players had to start from scratch.
Level 100-plus monsters' drop-rate was even lower than Level 50-plus monsters' drop-rate. In fact, Great Lord ranked Minibosses would be lucky to drop Level 100-plus Mysterious-Iron Equipment. Lord ranked monsters' drop-rate was practically zero.
Hence, after reaching Level 100 in the past, the number of weapons and equipment players could craft had skyrocketed.
Currently, no one was paying attention to the Northern Fortress. Naturally, they had to secure it as soon as possible. If they waited until everyone started paying attention, not only would they have to deal with the monsters inside the fortress, but they would also have to deal with other players. If that happened, their chances of success would plummet.
"Are 30,000 players enough?" Phoenix Rain was a little surprised when she saw Shifeng's confident expression.
Although gathering 30,000 elite players in Dragonheart City would be very difficult, it was still doable for the current her.
Everyone knew that Thirteen Thrones and Starlink had worked together to capture the Northern Fortress. Thirteen Thrones had dispatched a total of 150,000 players to capture the fortress. In the end, they had lost over 70% of their 150,000 players. Meanwhile, the number of players on her side wasn't even a fraction of that number.
"It's enough, but we need to be fast," Shifeng said.
The most important thing when raiding a fortress was whether or not it could hold its ground. So long as the fortress could hold its ground, they could even gather 10,000 elite players, much less 30,000. Only, it would take some time.
"That won't be a problem. I'll issue the order now. We'll have 30,000 players ready in one day," Phoenix Rain said, nodding. She knew that Shifeng wasn't a brainless person. Since they had a chance of capturing the Northern Fortress, she had to take the gamble.
If they succeeded, they'd reap huge profits. Currently, only Thirteen Thrones and Starlink shared a fortress in Dragonheart City. This would give them a massive advantage in the city. If she could secure a stake in one of the fortresses, Nine Dragons Emperor would have a very difficult time shaking her position in Dragonheart City.
After saying so, Phoenix Rain and Blue Phoenix began to gather the players they had scattered across the Sea of Death and the various kingdoms and empires' elite players. Shifeng didn't intend to waste any time. Immediately, he left the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's Residence and made his way to the Wanderer's Shop.
Since Shifeng had been in the Tower of Four Gods, he hadn't been able to manage the Wanderer's Shop. He'd had no choice but to let the Wanderer's Shop operate on its own. After so many days, he should have accumulated a lot of wealth. According to Shifeng's estimates, he should have over 10,000 Ancient Gold by now. After all, as the Wanderer's Shop grew more popular, the items it sold would become better. This was especially true for the Black Market tickets.
With over 10,000 Ancient Gold, he could purchase an ordinary Guild Residence in Dragonheart City's outermost region. That way, Guild members could rest and recover in the Residence instead of in hotels.
As Shifeng left the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's Residence, the players outside the Residence clamored.
"He's out!"
"And here I thought you'd stay in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion for the rest of your life. I never thought you'd come out so soon! Keep an eye on him! The higher-ups have already said that anyone who kills Hei Yan will be rewarded with three pieces of Epic Equipment!"
"Notify the boss! Hei Yan has come out!"
News of Blood Oath's death had spread like wildfire throughout Dragonheart City. War Blood's declaration of war had also shaken Dragonheart City. Moreover, War Blood had even offered the highest bounty in Dragonheart City's history.
Three pieces of Epic Equipment!
Even ordinary players would undergo a qualitative transformation if they obtained three pieces of Epic Equipment, let alone expert players. Hence, Dragonheart City's players had gone crazy over the offer.
Previously, when players had killed Shifeng, Fragmented Legendary items weren't guaranteed to drop. Now, however, if they killed a Shifeng, they could obtain three pieces of Epic Equipment. Everyone in the Sea of Death was tempted.
Half an hour later, Shifeng arrived at the Wanderer's Shop's entrance. He ignored the various major powers' experts and War Blood's members' undisguised killing intent. After all, nobody dared to cause trouble in Dragonheart City.
When Shifeng saw the Wanderer's Shop, he wondered if he had come to the wrong place.
The dilapidated Wanderer's Shop had changed beyond recognition. Now, it was a small, four-story building with luxurious decorations. An endless stream of players walked in and out of the Shop, and none of these players were ordinary players. Every one of them was Level 85 or above, and they were definitely experts.
The Wanderer's Shop no longer resembled a Shop. Instead, it looked more like a Guild Residence.
The Shop's scale increased automatically? Shifeng could not help his surprise. Just how popular is the Wanderer's Shop right now?
It wasn't rare for independent Shops to increase their scale automatically. Only, it was very difficult to meet the requirements. Not only did the Shop need enough Popularity and traffic, but it also needed a certain amount of Coins in storage.
Following which, Shifeng entered the Wanderer's Shop. The first-floor hall had more than doubled in size, and there were over a hundred types of items for sale. Every one of these items was a rare treasure on the market.
However, Shifeng didn't pay much attention to these items. He immediately pulled up the Wanderer's Shop's current inventory of Ancient Gold.
"Are you kidding me?!" Shifeng wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him when he saw the statistics.
