"Requisition?" Fithalia was momentarily stunned by Brut's words. She then asked, "Brut, have you lost your mind?"
At this moment, Fithalia wasn't the only one with such thoughts. Everyone in the fortress shared the same thoughts.
Although the Blood Alliance was a powerful superpower and had many NPC forces joining it, that was only in the various sea regions.
On the western continent, the Blood Alliance had no advantage whatsoever. Moreover, the Starlight Fortress was very far from the sea region. The Blood Alliance couldn't even send an army to the western continent, much less do anything else.
Meanwhile, even the Five Great Super Guilds would be helpless against the Starlight Fortress's defenses. After all, the fortress was protected by a Tier 4 Divine Dragon. Even Tier 5 players could only watch from afar.
This was also why the Starlight Fortress had been able to stand strong for so long. Otherwise, the surrounding NPC forces would've most likely taken action against the fortress long ago.
The only thing the Blood Alliance could do right now was seal off the Starlight Fortress's map. However, this was clearly beyond the Blood Alliance's capabilities.
"Have I lost my mind?" Brut chuckled. "I don't think so. The Starlight Fortress's defenses are indeed powerful, and it also has a Divine Dragon protecting it. Very few powers can threaten it, but if over a hundred Tier 4 NPCs seal off the Starlight Fortress's map, how long can it last?"
"Over a hundred Tier 4 NPCs?"
Upon hearing Brut's words, everyone gasped involuntarily.
Currently, not only were NPCs generally higher leveled than players, but they were also stronger than players of the same level. This was because NPCs possessed better weapons, equipment, Skills, and Spells.
Over a hundred Tier 4 NPCs!
Even a small kingdom's Tier 4 NPCs wouldn't have that many.
In other words, the Blood Alliance could actually dispatch a small kingdom's peak combatants to seal off the Starlight Fortress's map. This was simply frightening!
"Moreover, I've also heard that the eastern continent is currently engulfed in the flames of war. Many superpowers have already been annihilated. Even Ling Yi's Main City can barely protect itself. She can't move about freely in the outside world, much less obtain any resources," Brut said. "Without the Starlight Fortress's resources, the eastern continent will have a hard time holding on, right?
"That's why we're inviting Ling Yi to become a member of our Blood Alliance. This way, not only will the Starlight Fortress develop better, but our Blood Alliance will also be able to help Ling Yi fend off the Outerworld's invaders. Isn't this a win-win situation?"
Everyone present, including Fithalia, was unable to refute Brut's suggestion.
The situation in the Eastern Continent was no longer a secret.
On the first day that the World Passage had opened, it had shaken the entire God's Domain. It had even stunned countless organizations.
Suddenly, a group of players had appeared out of nowhere and annihilated several first-rate Guild Cities without hesitation. Even the superpowers' Guild Cities hadn't been spared.
Initially, these superpowers had intended to retaliate. However, after attacking the Guild Cities, they discovered that a large number of experts had gathered in the captured Guild Cities. Among these experts, there was no lack of Tier 4 players.
The result was self-evident. None of the superpowers' members were spared.
Initially, God's Domain's various powers had assumed that the Outerworld's invaders were a newly-emerged superpower. Such incidents were not uncommon in God's Domain. Superpowers could soar to the heavens through continuous accumulation. Hence, none of God's Domain's various powers had paid much attention to this matter.
However, on the second day, over a dozen superpowers had suddenly emerged. The number of Tier 4 players they possessed far surpassed that of God's Domain's native superpowers. On that very day, one of the superpowers had been annihilated.
That battle had stupefied God's Domain's various powers.
They wouldn't have minded if it were just a newly-emerged superpower, but so many superpowers had suddenly emerged. Moreover, these superpowers even had so many Tier 4 players. No matter how they thought about it, this was simply inconceivable.
After a series of frantic investigations, God's Domain's various powers discovered that these superpowers were not from the same world as them. According to their secret investigations, these superpowers had come from other God's Domains. Moreover, these superpowers didn't even live on Earth. Their population was not much smaller than God's Domain's. In fact, these superpowers' combat standards were even higher than God's Domain's.
After all, God's Domain was where these people lived!
Moreover, the foundations of these Outerworld superpowers were far stronger than God's Domain's native superpowers. The two were on completely different levels.
In less than five days, not only had the Outerworld annihilated a few superpowers, but it had also annihilated six or seven kingdoms. These kingdoms had become paradise for the Outerworld's NPCs, and the Outerworld's NPCs were frantically snatching all kinds of resources to expand their territories.
Afterward, the native kingdoms and empires of God's Domain began organizing players to resist the Outerworld's player and NPC forces. The scale of this battle was definitely the largest in God's Domain's history. Over several dozen kingdoms and empires had joined hands. After going through dozens of battles on the eastern continent, they finally managed to seal off the Outerworld's NPC forces.
However, in order to do so, they had to pay close to one-third of the continent.
Moreover, this blockade was only effective against the NPC forces' armies. The individual NPC forces and player forces were still free to move about.
In a situation where God's Domain's native players' levels and combat standards were no match for the Outerworld's players, the eastern continent's players were at an absolute disadvantage. They could only rely on the native NPCs to resist the Outerworld's players.
Meanwhile, the Outerworld's players and NPCs continued to invade God's Domain. One could easily foresee that the eastern continent's forces wouldn't last long against the Outerworld's invasion. In fact, it wouldn't be long before the Outerworld's invasion reached the western continent.
If the Starlight Fortress's map were to be sealed now, the impact on Ling Yi would be immeasurable. After all, the Outerworld's forces dominated the eastern continent's resources, and the prices of these resources had more than doubled. It was obvious how tight the eastern continent's resources were.
Meanwhile, without the Starlight Fortress's resources, Ling Yi would most likely have a hard time defending his Guild City.
Shi Feng had to admit that the Blood Alliance had accurately predicted this weakness of Ling Yi's. Hence, they had specifically come to pressure Ling Yi.
Even Fithalia was powerless. Even if Divine Tribe fully supported Ling Yi, they still wouldn't be able to hold off over a hundred Tier 4 NPCs.
In the end, Fithalia looked at Brut and said, "I understand. I'll pass on your message to Ling Yi."
"Good, then." Brut nodded. Not allowing any room for negotiation, he said, "However, our patience is limited. Tell Ling Yi that he has one day to reply. If he doesn't, we'll begin sealing the map!"
"One day?" Fithalia frowned.
That was too short a time. To put it simply, this time was only enough to pass on a message and discuss the matter with the Blood Alliance's leaders. There was no time to prepare.
"That's right. You only have one day. It's best if you let Ling Yi consider this carefully. Don't waste any time! Doing so won't benefit the Blood Alliance or Ling Yi, "Brut stated firmly. "You can even tell Ling Yi that if he refuses, the Blood Alliance might suffer a headache. However, I can guarantee that he will suffer a hundred times more than we will!"
After Brut finished speaking, the dozen or so Tier 4 NPCs behind him promptly released their frightening auras.
Even Fithalia felt immense pressure when the dozen or so NPCs released their auras simultaneously. If not for the fact that they were inside the Starlight Fortress, she would've most likely backed away.
As for the other people inside the fortress, their complexions had already turned pale. It was obvious that they felt extremely uncomfortable under this frightening aura.
However, just as Fithalia was about to speak, a deep, calm voice suddenly entered everyone's ears.
"There's no need for cooperation. Our Ling Yi does not need allies like you."
When everyone heard this rejection, they could not help but turn to look at the source of the rejection. They were all curious as to who was bold enough to make such a decision for Ling Yi.
"Who said so? Step forward! "
Brut, in particular, had a hint of displeasure and anger in his eyes. He could not figure out who was bold enough to openly challenge the Blood Alliance.
"Hei Yan?"
"Ling Yi's Guild Leader is already here?"
Everyone present looked at the black-cloaked man with two longswords hanging from his waist. His eyes were as dark as the night, and they quickly recognized him.
"President Hei Yan?"
Fithalia was momentarily stunned when she saw Shi Feng's sudden appearance.
This was because the current Shifeng was like a completely different person compared to the Shifeng she had met previously. Not only did the Mana radiating from the Shifeng's body reach a frightening level, but she could even feel the difference in their Life Ratings!
"Half-step Tier 5!"
A Level 167, Tier 4 NPC standing at the head of the Blood Alliance exclaimed when he saw the Shifeng.
"Half-step Tier 5? How is this possible? "
Everyone stared at Xiang Shifeng in astonishment when they heard the Tier 4 NPC's words.
In this era, there were plenty of Tier 4 players, so players were no longer unfamiliar with Tier 4 classes. At the same time, they also knew how difficult it was to get promoted from Tier 4 to Tier 5. They also didn't know how massive the gap between Tier 4 and Tier 5 was.
A Half-step Tier 5 player's Mana Body and Mana control had already reached the Tier 4 standard. Once a Half-step Tier 5 player created a Mana Body suitable for themselves, they would become frightening existences that could reach Tier 5. Even in an NPC kingdom, Half-step Tier 5 players would be considered one of the strongest existences.
At this stage of the game, most players had only reached Tier 3, and only a very small number of experts had reached Tier 4, yet Shifeng had already reached the Half-step Tier 5 standard.
However, since a Tier 4 NPC had said so, it shouldn't be a lie.
"I'm the one who said so. Guild Leader Brut, do you have any advice for me?" Shifeng asked calmly as he looked at Brut.
