Upon hearing the Tier 3 Shield Warrior's words, Solid Wind looked at Xiang Shifeng in shame.
Previously, she had been so focused on the battle that she hadn't asked for Shi Feng's name or even thanked him. Fortunately, Mad Bull had taken the initiative to ask for Shi Feng's name.
"Hei Yan," Shifeng replied calmly.
"Hei Yan?" The Tier 3 Shield Warrior, Mad Bull, laughed when he heard Shi Feng's name. "Brother, isn't your name a little too awesome? I'm afraid nobody in the Starmoon Kingdom would dare to disrespect you."
The rest of the team nodded in agreement.
Who hadn't heard of the Ling YI Society's Guild Leader?
Let alone the Star Alliance, a first-rate Guild in the Starmoon Kingdom, even the various superpowers had to show him some respect. Everyone in the Starmoon Kingdom knew of Shi Feng's existence.
However, no matter how they looked at the cloaked Shifeng before them, they didn't think he was the legendary Hei Yan. After all, no Guild Leader would come to such a barren land. Not only would leveling up slow, but he would also have to deal with Faux Saint monsters.
"Alright, it's just a name. Since he doesn't want to tell us, there's no need for us to pursue the matter," Solid Wind whispered through the team chat when she saw the teasing crowd.
Everyone nodded in agreement and stopped their discussion. After all, they had only been saved thanks to Shifeng. Since Shifeng had concealed his identity and didn't reveal his real name, they naturally couldn't be so tactless.
"We haven't had the chance to thank Brother Hei Yan for your help. In the future, if Brother Hei Yan encounters any trouble in the Starmoon Kingdom or the Ore Empire, feel free to look for us. Our Blood Pact adventurer team might not be a match for those large Guilds, but we should have no problems dealing with some minor problems," Solid Wind said gratefully as she walked up to Shifeng.
"That's right. Although Blood Pact isn't a well-known top adventurer team, it ranks among the top 20 adventurer teams in the Ore Empire. If we encounter wandering Dark Players, we just need to mention our names, and those Dark Players will, more or less, show some respect," Mad Bull said confidently.
"Alright," Shifeng nodded with a bitter smile as he looked at Solid Wind and the others who didn't believe him at all.
"In that case, let's hurry up and get on the carriages. Once night falls, not only will the Faux Saint monsters become more active, but Saint's Hand's members will also ambush the players in Silverwing Town's vicinity. With just the number of people we have, we won't be able to defend these goods," Solid Wind said as she pointed at the nearby caravan.
As he spoke, everyone present also boarded their carriages, not daring to delay any further.
"Vice Commander Solid Wind, since the Faux Saint monsters are more active at night, aren't Saint's Hand's members afraid of being ambushed by the Faux Saint monsters?" Shifeng asked Solid Wind curiously.
Since Saint's Hand wanted to expand its territory, it wouldn't be surprising for it to clash with Ling Yi in the future. However, the strength of the Faux Saint monsters was no laughing matter. Attacking Silverwing Town's surroundings at night was undoubtedly a foolish decision.
"We were also curious about this before. However, Saint's Hand has developed a special tool. As long as players don't take the initiative to attack the Faux Saint monsters, the Faux Saint monsters won't attack them. Because of this, Saint's Hand's members have been cooperating with the Faux Saint monsters to attack Silverwing Town at night. Moreover, their attacks have been growing stronger recently. By the looks of it, Saint's Hand intends to capture Silverwing Town as soon as possible," Solid Wind said. "However, independent players like us don't wish to see Silverwing Town fall."
"Previously, only Saint's Hand's members were allowed to enter the towns and cities that Saint's Hand captured. Meanwhile, Silverwing Town is currently the Ore Empire's economic center. If Saint's Hand captures Silverwing Town, we'll have nowhere else to go."
"Hence, many of our adventurer teams and even some of the Starmoon Kingdom's Guilds have been assisting Ling Yi against Saint's Hand to protect the caravans that travel to and from Silverwing Town. However, due to the Faux Saint monsters' increasing strength, our side has gradually fallen into a disadvantage. I don't know how much longer we can hold on …"
In response to this situation, the other players present also secretly hated Saint's Hand.
Currently, the various kingdoms and powers were already having a hard time dealing with the Faux Saint monsters. Yet, Saint's Hand was taking advantage of the situation, making it increasingly difficult for independent players like them to survive. Even so, they were powerless against Saint's Hand. In fact, even the various superpowers could only watch from the sidelines, not daring to oppose Saint's Hand.
Meanwhile, as Shifeng chatted with Solid Wind and the others on their way to Silverwing Town, they gradually gained a better understanding of the Starmoon Kingdom's current situation.
Although close to half of the Starmoon Kingdom had fallen, not a single Main City-level NPC city had fallen yet. Even so, the situation still did not look optimistic.
Due to the Faux Saint monsters' increasing strength, a large number of players had begun fleeing the kingdom. In the past, White River City had a player population of over ten million. Now, less than four million players remained.
Meanwhile, the drastic decrease in the kingdom's player population had also caused the Starmoon Kingdom's economy to plummet. As a result, many powers had no choice but to leave the Starmoon Kingdom to develop elsewhere.
The departure of the Starmoon Kingdom's various powers also allowed the dark forces to take advantage of the situation to rise. They had even developed to the point where players would lose their lives if they were not careful.
In short, there was only one word to describe this situation.
Chaos!
Most importantly, as the Faux Saint monsters grew stronger, everyone could already foresee the Main City-level NPC cities falling. At that time, the entire Starmoon Kingdom would be finished. Only by joining Saint's Hand would they be able to avoid being devoured by the Faux Saint monsters in the Starmoon Kingdom.
While escorting the caravan, Shifeng and the others unknowingly arrived at a desert woodland not far from Silverwing Town.
As they exited the desert woodland, they could see many caravans escorted by players heading to Silverwing Town. There were as many as 30 caravans in total. One could just imagine how prosperous Silverwing Town was right now.
Moreover, aside from the adventurer teams escorting the caravans, there were also many legions from the various large Guilds patrolling the area.
"We're finally safe." Solid Wind breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the Guild legions patrolling the area.
Now that the sky had darkened, the Faux Saint monsters they had to face were no laughing matter. If Saint's Hand's experts ambushed the caravan, the caravan would definitely be annihilated.
"Today's patrol team sure is amazing. The leader is actually the Star Alliance's Vice Guild Leader Purple Eye. With this, we won't have to fear the Faux Saint monsters and Saint's Hand's members." Mad Bull's eyes glowed when he saw the beautiful woman in luxurious, crimson mage robes leading the patrol team.
The other members of the Blood Pact adventurer team nodded in agreement when they saw Purple Eye.
Although Starmoon Kingdom currently had plenty of experts, very few of them could rank among the top 1,000 on the God's Domain Experts List. After all, every player in the kingdom was growing stronger, and every new generation replaced the old. Hence, it was many times more difficult to rank among the top 1,000. Among them, Purple Eye was a great expert who could rank among the top 300. According to rumors, due to a special opportunity, her Bloodline had become as powerful as a humanoid tyrannosaurus. Her combat power could even rival legendary monsters.
Not long ago, she had even unlocked her Mana Body's full potential. Hence, Starmoon Kingdom's players guessed that Purple Eye's strength had already surpassed Ling Yi's Shiuse Qiangwei and was on par with monsters like Hei Yan.
Now that they had such an expert protecting them, how could they not feel at ease?
While everyone was quietly discussing Purple Eye, a commotion suddenly broke out in the distance. At the same time, deafening roars also reached their ears.
"Run! Run! The Faux Saint monsters are coming! "
Along with this shout, everyone present turned to look at the source of the roars. What they saw was a cloud of dust flying toward them from over a thousand yards away.
Amidst the dust cloud, everyone could vaguely see several thousand Faux Saint monsters, each of which was five to six meters tall.
"Everyone, retreat to Silverwing Town quickly! Our patrol team will cover the rear!" Purple Eye shouted when she saw the approaching Faux Saint army.
Immediately, the patrol team assumed a defensive formation.
Not only did these patrol team members move in an orderly manner, but they also showed no signs of panic when facing the several thousand Faux Saint monsters. It was obvious that they were all battle-hardened experts.
However, when the Faux Saint monsters were less than 500 yards away from the patrol team, their expressions changed abruptly.
"Crap! Mythic rank! A Mythic Faux Saint monster! "
Among the Faux Saint monsters, the Faux Saint Destroyers were only around seven meters tall, yet there was actually a 12-meter-tall Faux Saint monster among this group of Faux Saint monsters. The Faux Saint monster's aura felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, stifling the Level 112, Tier 2 experts present.
Meanwhile, Grand Lord ranked Faux Saint monsters were already very difficult for Tier 3 experts to deal with. In fact, even peak experts wouldn't lose their lives to a Grand Lord ranked Faux Saint monster. Hence, Shi Feng simply couldn't imagine how powerful a Mythic ranked Faux Saint monster would be.
The stronger a Faux Saint monster was, the higher their combat standards would be. There was a massive difference between Tier 3 and Tier 4.
Not to mention, a Tier 4 Mythic ranked Faux Saint monster was currently leading hundreds of Faux Saint Destroyers and several thousand Faux Saint Saboteurs.
"How could that be? How did a Mythic Faux Saint monster emerge so quickly?! "Solid Wind was stunned when she saw the gigantic Faux Saint monster.
"It's over! It's really over this time! "Mad Bull, who stood beside Solid Wind, also despaired.
Against the Grand Lord ranked Faux Saint army, they could still hold their ground for a while. In fact, they could even repel the Faux Saint army. However, against a Mythic ranked Faux Saint monster army, it wouldn't be long before Silverwing Town was annihilated.
After all, even now, not a single team had managed to kill a Faux Saint Destroyer, not to mention a Tier 4 Mythic ranked Faux Saint monster. Moreover, these Faux Saint monsters would only grow stronger with each passing day.
However, before anyone could react to the appearance of the Faux Saint monster, the Faux Saint army clashed with the patrolling army, and a chaotic battle ensued.
Against the Mythic ranked Faux Saint monster, the Tier 3 Mythic ranked Faux Saint monsters were no different from paper. With a single swipe of their spears, the Tier 3 Mythic ranked Faux Saint monsters were sent flying over 20 yards away.
Even when a Level 114 magical class expert like Purple Eye cast a Tier 3 Curse, not only did the Mythic ranked Faux Saint monster easily block the attack, but the Mythic ranked Faux Saint monster had also instantly appeared behind Purple Eye. If not for Purple Eye's quick reaction and activating a Lifesaving Skill, she would've died instantly.
"Brother Hei Yan, let's leave quickly. The patrolling army won't be able to hold on for long," Mad Bull urged anxiously when he saw the Shifeng disembarking from the vehicle.
Now that even Purple Eye was at an absolute disadvantage, it was only a matter of time before the Faux Saint army broke through the patrolling army's defensive line.
