Chapter 1 The Northern Fortress Opens

As Shi Feng opened the Northern Fortress, Zero Wing and Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion quickly spread the news throughout Dragonheart City and the entire Core Mountain Range.

"The Northern Fortress opened so fast!"

"They're probably trying to seize some advantages early, but War Blood has already spoken. Even if it's open, who dares to go?"

The various adventurer teams in the Core Mountain Range shook their heads upon seeing the news. Previously, there was only one fortress belonging to the Thirteen Royal Families, which wasn't enough for the players in Dragonheart City to rest. Having another Northern Fortress was naturally a good thing, but War Blood had already declared that anyone who dared to go to the Northern Fortress would be considered an enemy of War Blood.

For the various weak adventurer teams, no one dared to provoke War Blood Adventurer Team.

In Stone Nest Fortress, Oathblood War Soul and Nine Dragons Emperor also received the news immediately.

"Guild Leader Oathblood, it seems Zero Wing is desperate. Instead of taking advantage of the fortress's three-day protection mechanism, they opened it so quickly. I bet before we even make a move, the Northern Fortress will be destroyed by the monster horde," Nine Dragons Emperor said gleefully upon seeing the news.

For the various super forces on Dragonheart Island, everyone knew that defending a fortress was more difficult than capturing one, especially the first monster horde faced when opening a fortress.

Therefore, they would strengthen the fortress's defenses as much as possible during the three-day protection period and only open the fortress after the three-day protection period was over.

But now, Zero Wing was being impatient, opening the fortress after only one day and actively canceling the fortress's protection mechanism. Doing so might attract some players during the period when Stone Nest Fortress wasn't open, but the monster horde wouldn't be merciful.

"Zero Wing's movements are indeed fast, but I won't give them even the slightest hope," Oathblood War Soul said coldly. "Heart Feather, immediately spread the news that our Stone Nest Fortress will open tomorrow, completely dispelling the thoughts of those adventurer teams and guilds!"

Nine Dragons Emperor was shocked, not expecting Oathblood War Soul to be so ruthless, giving Zero Wing absolutely no chance.

Originally, Zero Wing's actions were already a gamble. After all, there were more and more players in the entire Core Mountain Range, and the one fortress of the Thirteen Royal Families simply couldn't satisfy them. Even with the influence and deterrence of the War Blood Adventurer Team, some adventurer teams and guilds might secretly go to the Northern Fortress to rest, as traveling back and forth to the Core Mountain Range not only took time but also cost a considerable amount.

But if it was only a short day, then the various adventurer teams and guilds on Dragonheart Island would give War Blood Adventurer Team some face, which meant that no players would go to the Northern Fortress, making Zero Wing's actions meaningless.

Not long after War Blood released the news, Ku Rong of the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion's residence in Dragonheart City also received the news.

"Wind Clear, what do you think of this matter?" Ku Rong asked, looking at the news in his hand, turning to the heroic woman sitting next to him.

"I originally thought Zero Wing was quite good," Feng Qingyue Luo said leisurely, sitting on the sofa in the office. "But you can't twist your arm against your thigh. War Blood and Star Ring have too much influence, and their foundations are extraordinary. Even if Hei Yan's combat power is amazing, capable of fighting a thousand, he can't change anything in the face of the general trend. Moreover, I heard that the Thirteen Royal Families are going to join forces with Star Ring again, preparing to take down a medium-sized fortress. At that time, Zero Wing will have absolutely no advantage."

In her opinion, Feng Qianyu's choice was too naive. If Feng Qianyu had agreed when Star Ring tried to win her over, then the position of Grand Pavilion Master of the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion would have been a certainty. Unfortunately, it had all gone to Nine Dragons Emperor now.

"Alright, I understand. Go prepare yourself later," Ku Rong sighed and let Feng Qingyue Luo leave.

The current situation was already clear at a glance. If the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion wanted to maintain a good relationship with Star Ring, then Feng Qianyu, who had once been an enemy of Star Ring, was probably no longer suitable for the position of Pavilion Master.

Just as the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion was secretly preparing, the various forces in Dragonheart City were also shocked by War Blood's decisiveness, once again making the vast number of players in Dragonheart City realize the terror and methods of super forces.

Even a large guild like Zero Wing, which could capture the Northern Fortress, was just a grasshopper after autumn in the face of super forces.

On a rocky hill in the Core Mountain Range, a hundred experts above level 85, all wearing level 85 Secret-Silver equipment, were frantically besieging a level 89 High Lord.

Although this High Lord, the Six-Armed Demon Bear, had extremely high defense and destructive power, able to knock back several MTs with a single blow, the leading level 90 Tiger-Man Berserker could withstand a blow with only a step back, his strength as monstrous as the bear's.

In less than twenty minutes, the Six-Armed Demon Bear fell at the feet of this team.

"Boss is too amazing. He can fight the Six-Armed Demon Bear alone. His strength can definitely rank in the top fifty of Dragonheart Island's players," an 87th level Shield Warrior said admiringly.

"Who says otherwise? The Guild Leader of Azure Blade even looked for Boss before, wanting to invite him to be the Vice Guild Leader," an 87th level female Elf Ranger said with sparkling eyes.

Azure Blade was one of the top ten adventurer teams on Dragonheart Island, and Guild Leader Zi Wei was the idol of countless female players. Being invited by Zi Wei was an unparalleled honor on Dragonheart Island.

"Stop flattering me, or I'll fly to the sky," Long You Tianxia rolled his eyes at the team members. "Our stamina is also running low. After we recover, we'll go to the Northern Fortress to rest."

"Boss, that's the Northern Fortress! War Blood Adventurer Team has issued a strict order, and Azure Blade has also reminded us that if we go to the Northern Fortress, we will definitely be targeted by War Blood Adventurer Team. It will be difficult for us to join the eight major adventurer teams under Azure Blade's command," everyone was shocked upon hearing this and quickly tried to dissuade him.

Now their Dragon Rider Adventurer Team was thriving, and its strength was constantly expanding. They now had a chance to join the eight major adventurer teams under Azure Blade's command, which they had never even dared to imagine before.

It should be known that Azure Blade was one of the top ten adventurer teams on Dragonheart Island, and ranked fifth. There were many adventurer teams willing to belong to Azure Blade, but only eight places were available to receive Azure Blade's vigorous cultivation.

As long as they became one of these eight major adventurer teams, the status of their Dragon Rider Adventurer Team would skyrocket on Dragonheart Island, and even those first-rate guilds would not dare to offend them.

"Alright, stop talking, pack up immediately, we're going to the Northern Fortress now!" Long You Tianxia reprimanded, ignoring everyone's opinions.

He could say that his current achievements were all thanks to Shi Feng.

In the Four Gods Tower, he not only entered the Flowing Water Realm, but the completion of his Tier 2 skills had also been qualitatively improved. He had also mastered an advanced combat technique and obtained a replica of a Legendary weapon, Hurricane Wound, which was the best of the best among Epic weapons and was also suitable for his battle blade, which made his strength undergo a qualitative leap.

Now that Zero Wing was in trouble, how could he not help?

Since War Blood Adventurer Team wanted to block the north, preventing players from entering and exiting, then he would simply level up and develop in the north. Anyway, there was a fortress where they could rest at any time, and War Blood couldn't control it.

The members of the Dragon Rider Adventurer Team heard Long You Tianxia say this, and the guild leader's orders were everything. They had no choice but to follow Long You Tianxia to the Northern Fortress.

After riding their mounts for several hours and carefully avoiding the players of War Blood Adventurer Team several times, Long You Tianxia and his team finally arrived at the Northern Fortress.

However, the moment they stepped into the surroundings of the Northern Fortress, everyone was stunned.

"What's going on?"

"Why is the magic density here so high?"

"No, it's not just magic, I feel a lot lighter all over, as if the pressure I felt outside is gone..."
