"You guys sure are fast!" Shifeng exclaimed in surprise when he saw Gentle Snow's smile.
He had only notified Gentle Snow of their return a few hours ago. He hadn't expected her to gather everyone in Dragonheart City so quickly.
The Tidal Vortex was located in the Sea of Death's central region. Even Flying Mounts would take some time to reach the Tidal Vortex, not to mention bringing a 100-man team back to Dragonheart City.
"Originally, it would've taken us a few more hours. However, before we left, we killed a Level 95 Mythic Boss. That Boss dropped a Two-headed Flying Dragon. In the end, Cola managed to snatch the Two-headed Flying Dragon, which allowed us to return much faster than before," Gentle Snow said excitedly.
She had experienced firsthand the benefits of a Flying Mount.
Now that she had an additional Flying Mount, the team's overall strength would increase significantly.
"A Two-headed Flying Dragon? Aren't you guys a little too lucky? You actually found it with a 1% drop rate? "Shifeng was surprised.
The Tidal Vortex's Mythic Bosses did indeed drop Flying Mounts, and it was one of the few ways to obtain an Extraordinary Flying Mount. However, the 1% drop rate wasn't something ordinary players could obtain.
He hadn't expected Gentle Snow's team to obtain one after a short trip to the Tidal Vortex.
"Hei Zi is lucky to have obtained a Flying Mount so quickly," Gentle Snow said, chuckling. "Guild Leader, I've heard that War Blood has declared war on Ling Yi. Should we take action?"
If they had encountered War Blood before their trip to the Tidal Vortex, she would've had a huge headache. However, now that Ke Le had a Two-headed Flying Dragon and Shifeng's Thunder Eagle, they had three Flying Mounts.
Flying Mounts already had a massive advantage at sea. If three Flying Mounts worked together, they could even hold their own against a naval fleet. After all, three Flying Mounts could carry 60 players at a time. They could easily annihilate the players aboard the three Bronze Speedboats with a single ambush.
Currently, only a few fleets of Bronze Speedboats remained in the Sea of Death. A few more trips to the Tidal Vortex could destroy a fleet's core combatant.
Ling Yi might not be able to establish herself in the Sea of Death, but War Blood wouldn't have an easy time, either.
"No, our current goal is to take down the Gravity Mountain Range's Northern Fortress first." Shifeng understood Gentle Snow's intentions. However, he shook his head and said, "You guys head to the World Tower's entrance first. I'll be right behind you."
While relying on Flying Mounts' high mobility to deal with War Blood's adventurer team would cause a lot of trouble, it would also slow down War Blood's development. Doing so wouldn't be worth it.
Battles between forces were always a competition of resources and experts. Hence, taking the Northern Fortress as a priority was the way to go.
"Capture the stronghold?" Gentle Snow was stunned for a moment before she smiled. Whether it was her, Ke Le, or the others, they could not wait to show the Shifeng their current strength. "Okay, we'll go over now."
After that, the Shifeng hung up and headed straight to the World Tower.
World Tower's first underground floor:
Due to Phoenix Rain's summons, the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's experts filled the entrance hall of the World Tower's first underground floor. This scene shocked the players visiting the Gravity Mountain Range.
"Why are there so many experts from the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion?"
"The Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion is amazing! Even the lowest-leveled player here is Level 86. Our thousand-man adventurer team has less than ten Level 86 players, yet the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion has over 8,000 players!"
"That's nothing. Look at their equipment. Every one of them is wearing Level 85 Secret-Silver Equipment. Some of them even have Level 85 Dark-Gold Equipment. I'm already considered a relatively powerful expert in my Guild, yet I only have a few pieces of Level 85 Secret-Silver Equipment on me. The rest of my equipment is Level 80. This is ridiculous."
"I wonder what the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion is trying to do with so many people? Is it a quest? "
The various major powers' experts and independent players discussed among themselves when they saw the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's experts. It was rare to see so many experts from the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, and they couldn't help but wonder what the Pavilion's experts were up to.
"Big Sis Rain, 9,000 people have arrived so far. The rest should arrive in two or three hours," Blue Phoenix said as she approached Phoenix Rain. Blue Phoenix said worriedly as she approached Phoenix Rain, who was in the midst of preparing supplies. "However, Nine Dragons Emperor already knows about this."
"So what? How could Nine Dragons Emperor's men possibly not know about something so important?" Phoenix Rain nodded. She didn't find the news particularly strange. "We just need to capture the Northern Fortress before Nine Dragons Emperor mobilizes his forces."
It was common for the various major powers to have news leaked. After all, there were simply too many players involved in the operation. It was impossible to keep the matter under wraps. The only thing they could do was race against time.
Meanwhile, in Thirteen Thrones' Guild Residence in Dragonheart City, news of Ling Yi and Phoenix Rain's plans to capture the Northern Fortress had reached the Guild Leader's desk.
"Hei Yan really does unexpected things," Melancholy said as he looked at the document in his hand. Melancholy smiled as he looked at the document in his hands. "Art, what do you think of this matter?"
Melancholy had thought highly of the Shifeng, so he had invited Ling Yi to participate in the plan to capture the Northern Fortress. Unfortunately, things had gone against his wishes.
"Ling Yi should have some confidence," Happy Art said, a little uncertain.
Capturing the Northern Fortress was an extremely difficult task, but she didn't think that the Shifeng were reckless. Since they dared to attack the Northern Fortress, they must have some degree of confidence.
"Confidence? Does he really think capturing the Northern Fortress is that easy? " The woman, whose face was shrouded in black fog, said disdainfully. "The way I see it, he's only going all out because he has no other options. After all, he provoked those madmen from War Blood."
Thirteen Thrones had gone to great lengths to secure a Small Fortress, and they had even worked with Starlink to secure it. What did Zero Wing have to do to secure the fortress?
"Guild Leader, do you plan to help Ling Yi?" Elder Wu, who sat quietly beside Melancholy, asked.
"I do. After all, Ling Yi has considerable potential. He might become a good ally in the future," Melancholy said, not bothering to hide his thoughts.
More corporations and powers were investing in God's Domain, and the competition was becoming increasingly intense. Even a Super Guild like Thirteen Thrones had to consider its allies if it wanted to have a better future.
Ling Yi's development had been progressing well, and he could be a potential ally.
Moreover, Ling Yi was currently in a difficult situation. If Melancholy helped Ling Yi, he'd definitely earn the man's gratitude.
"I understand what you're thinking. That kid is quite capable, but you need to understand that Ling Yi didn't just provoke War Blood. Starlink is also trying to kill Ling Yi. If you help Ling Yi, you'll have a hard time maintaining a good relationship with Starlink," Elder Wu said calmly. "Moreover, we've already decided to cooperate with Starlink to secure another fortress. Starlink's possession is crucial. As the Guild's Guild Leader, you should consider the gains and losses here."
Hearing Elder Wu's words, Melancholy had no choice but to dismiss the idea. Elder Wu was one of Thirteen Thrones' founders, after all. Elder Wu's words were true. Even as Melancholy's Guild Leader, he couldn't object.
While Dragonheart Island's various superpowers discussed the matter, the Shifeng's group arrived in the World Tower's first underground floor's hall.
The moment the Shifeng appeared, the hall fell into an uproar.
"Has Hei Yan lost his mind? He actually dares to come to the Gravity Mountain Range? Doesn't he know how many experts are after his life? "
"He's probably relying on the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's large crowd to deter anyone from attacking him."
"That's right. Who would dare cause trouble with so many people in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion? However, he can only rely on his numbers. If he dares to leave the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, he'll suffer. "
…
As the players in the hall watched the Shifeng enter, some admired the Shifeng, while others mocked him. They were all curious to see what he would do next. After all, the hall was still a safe zone. However, if he left the hall, many of them would likely take action. If that happened, the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's experts might not be able to suppress the Shifeng.
"President Hei Yan, we've gathered a little over 23,000 of the 30,000 players you requested. I believe we'll have everyone here in another hour or so. May I know how your preparations are coming along?" Phoenix Rain asked as she watched the Shifeng approach. "Based on the information I've received, several thousand experts have gathered outside, and they're all targeting you. Although they won't dare do anything with the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's experts around, I'm afraid that more players will gather outside the hall as time passes."
Speed was the most important factor for this operation. The various major powers' experts were keeping an eye on the Shifeng, after all. If they made a mistake, other powers might try to disrupt their operation, and all of their previous efforts would go to waste.
"Everyone's here on my side," the Shifeng said, smiling as he gestured to Gentle Snow and the others behind him.
"A 100-man team?" Phoenix Rain was momentarily stunned when she saw the cloaked figures behind the Shifeng.
Although she had known that Ling Yi wouldn't be able to gather a large number of players, she had never thought that the Shifeng would plan to capture the Northern Fortress with only 100 players. What a joke.
While Phoenix Rain fell silent, Shiuse Qiangwei, who stood behind the Shifeng, suddenly spoke up.
"Guild Leader, these people actually dare target you. If we don't teach them a lesson, they'll think that Ling Yi is a pushover," Shiuse Qiangwei said coldly as he swept a glance around the room.
"That's right. In any case, we don't have everyone yet. Let's take care of these people first and stop them from following us around," Ke Le said excitedly.
"Alright, let's take care of them first, then," Shifeng said, nodding after giving the matter some thought.
He didn't want to keep these stalkers around. Otherwise, they would continue to be a problem.
"Don't do anything rash. The people lying in ambush outside are no pushovers. Many of them are Refinement Realm experts. Even some of Dragonheart Island's top adventurer teams have dispatched their elites," Phoenix Rain hurriedly said.
For a moment, she thought that Shiuse Qiangwei and the others had lost their minds. Moreover, Shifeng had actually agreed to their demands …
She knew that Shiuse Qiangwei and the others were very strong, but even the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion would struggle to suppress so many experts. Even if they succeeded, they would suffer massive losses. Not to mention, Shiuse Qiangwei only had 100 players.
