When everyone in the Guild Residence saw the Shifeng dismount from Saint-rons-l'Abléc, silence fell over the Guild Residence as everyone stared at Xiang Shifeng in astonishment.
Macafre and Crimson Witch, in particular, stared at the approaching Shifeng in shock, their mouths agape.
For a moment, they felt as if the Shifeng were a bottomless monster.
Every time they thought they understood the Shifeng a little, they realized that they only understood a small part of the story.
For example, the Crimson Emperor's Crimson Emperor's Crimson Emperor's Crimson Emperor's Crimson Emperor's Crimson Emperor's Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor's Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor's Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor's Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor Crimson Emperor
Moreover, the Shifeng had successfully captured an ancient fortress that none of the various superpowers had been able to capture.
And now, the Shifeng had actually summoned a Dragon …
This was a Dragon they were talking about!
In God's Domain, Dragons represented destruction. Even the various kingdoms and empires in God's Domain had headaches over them, yet the Shifeng could actually control one.
Even if this Dragon was only a Tier 4 Infant Dragon, it was more than enough to deter the various superpowers from targeting the Starlight Fortress.
"So, this is why he's so confident?" Realization dawned on Fithalia as she glanced at Saint-rons-l'Abléc, who stood quietly behind the Shifeng.
At this moment, she, more or less, understood why the Shifeng had rejected her offer without hesitation when faced with the various superpowers and the Nether Empire.
With the Tier 4 Dragon's strength, if the various superpowers' experts tried to cause trouble in the Starlight Fortress, they'd be committing suicide. They wouldn't even have a chance of escaping.
Unless the various superpowers' experts had lost their minds and were willing to risk their lives to cause trouble.
When the Shifeng appeared in Divine Tribe's Residence on Saint-rons-l'Abléc, some of the various superpowers' members hiding in Divine Tribe's Residence immediately spread the news.
"How is this possible?! That's a Dragon we're talking about! "
"How can a player control a Dragon?!"
When the various superpowers' upper echelons saw their subordinates' replies, they wondered if their subordinates had betrayed them.
Hence, he had purposely used this fake information to fool them, causing them to fear the Starlight Fortress and not dare to cause trouble there.
However, as more and more spies came in, even if the various superpowers didn't want to believe or admit it, there was no way all of their spies had betrayed them, right?
To get a better understanding of the situation in the Starlight Fortress, Divine Tribe had secretly paid a hefty price to bribe the Divine Tribe members stationed in the fortress.
However, these bribed Divine Tribe members didn't know who they had bribed. This was to prevent these bribed players from betraying Divine Tribe and spreading false information that would benefit Divine Tribe, causing them to make mistakes in their judgment.
Now that more than ten spies had returned with the same news, it proved that this matter was indeed true.
After this news was confirmed, it was like a stone that stirred up a thousand ripples.
Some of the superpowers that had been eyeing the Starlight Fortress hesitated. They wondered if they should join the various superpowers in pressuring Xiang Shifeng and Divine Tribe to get a share of the pie.
If this had been before the appearance of a Dragon, these superpowers wouldn't have cared about the Starlight Fortress at all.
Even if they couldn't capture the Starlight Fortress for the time being, they could still wreak havoc in the fortress. Even if Divine Tribe dispatched all of its experts, it wouldn't matter.
At that time, the Starlight Fortress would become a city of slaughter. Who would dare attack it?
However, things were different now.
If they attacked a fortress guarded by a Tier 4 Dragon, they'd suffer severe losses. Tier 4 Dragons were existences they couldn't go up against at this stage of the game, after all. This had long since become common knowledge among the various superpowers. There was no need to verify this fact.
Dragons had already destroyed many of the western continent's border NPC cities. Unlike on the eastern continent, the western continent wasn't as peaceful. They'd be lucky to have a few monster sieges.
However, if they gave up on this operation, they'd most likely lose another opportunity to target the Starlight Fortress.
The Starlight Fortress had only recently been occupied. Even if they invested a ton of resources and manpower into it, it wouldn't be able to repair the fortress in three short days. The fortress's strength and management were at its weakest right now.
If they didn't take action now, the fortress would only become more difficult to deal with as time passed.
While many superpowers hesitated over whether or not to seize control of the Starlight Fortress, a team of less than 300 players attacked a small Demonic Creature stronghold in a Level 100 neutral plain a short distance away from Starlight Valley.
Not only did this stronghold have 7,000 Demonic Creatures, but every one of them was Level 110. Moreover, the leader of this army was an Eight-eyed Scorpion King.
However, the situation on the battlefield was also one-sided.
Even the Level 112 Eight-eyed Scorpion King was suppressed, not to mention the Level 110 Grand Lords. The Scorpion King couldn't deal any damage to the team as its HP continuously decreased.
By the time the Eight-eyed Scorpion King collapsed and died, the team hadn't suffered a single casualty. On the contrary, the corpses of the Demonic Creatures littered the ground around them.
"We got lucky this time. Not only did we come across a Demonic Creature stronghold, but the Eight-eyed Scorpion King also dropped a Level 100-plus Epic Battle Axe. Thunderbeast, take this battle axe," the leader of the team said. He wore pitch-black armor and radiated a dense aura of death. Without hesitation, he handed the Epic ranked Battle Axe Man to a three-meter-tall, muscular man covered in runes.
If Macafre were here, he'd definitely be shocked.
These players were none other than the Nether Empire's trump card legion. Not only was every player in this 300-man legion a Tier 3 player, but every one of them had combat power that rivaled a Grand Lord of the same level.
Moreover, the aura radiated from the leader of this legion rivaled that of Mythic monsters.
"Commander, the higher-ups have just sent word that there is a Tier 4 Infant Dragon guarding the Starlight Fortress. Many powers have given up on attacking the Starlight Fortress, so we should be careful," a Tier 3, black-clad Assassin standing beside the thin man suddenly said in a low tone.
"A Tier 4 Infant Dragon?" A rare smile appeared on the leader's cold face when he heard this. "This is interesting. It's no wonder why they were so confident in capturing the Starlight Fortress. It turns out that they have such a trump card. However, I'm afraid that this trump card isn't enough to stop us."
Other powers might be afraid of a Dragon guarding a fortress, but they weren't.
The reason was simple.
There was only one Dragon, and they had nearly 300 players.
Unlike the other superpowers, Divine Tribe's experts wouldn't be able to put up a fight inside the Starlight Fortress. Divine Tribe's experts wouldn't even need to wait for the Dragon to kill a few of them. Moreover, once the Dragon arrived, they'd be able to escape immediately. They wouldn't have to worry about dealing with the Starlight Fortress.
"Commander, I've also received an important message from Fithalia. She wants to invite you to the Starlight Fortress for a chat," the black-clad Assassin added.
"Fithalia?" The leader smiled. "Since it's an invitation from an old friend, I naturally have to give her face. Everyone, pack up. We're heading to the Starlight Fortress."
