Chapter 1 Dark Night Empire

Dark Night Empire, Headquarters of Dark Soul in the City of Light and Shadow.

"This Zero Wing Guild is truly interesting. I don't know whether to call them courageous and enterprising, or to say they overestimate themselves. They're actually antagonizing so many powers they shouldn't provoke. It was one thing to anger Lu Xingluo before, but now the Blackwater Guild is also trying to wipe them out." Duan Tianhu, sitting at his desk, looked at the information he had just received and smiled faintly.

The information in his hand was the report of the Blackwater Guild formally announcing a full-scale war against the Zero Wing Guild.

It could be said that Blackwater's move was very ruthless, a pure competition of financial resources. It could not only strike and destroy the Zero Wing Guild without spending a single soldier, but also gather a large number of players to bring economic benefits to Scarlet Flame Fortress. In addition, it could also recruit top experts. It was completely killing three birds with one stone.

Although the Zero Wing Guild had a good foundation, compared with the Blackwater Guild, the two were not on the same level at all. It was likely that it would not take long to financially cripple the Zero Wing Guild.

"Then, Guild Leader, are we still going to act according to the original plan?" Mo Wudao, a Tier 2 Elementalist standing aside, asked in a low voice.

"Of course, we have to act. Originally, only the Star Ring Guild was paying the bill, but now there is one more Blackwater Guild. Not only do we have to act according to the original plan, but we also have to send more people over there." Duan Tianhu sneered softly. "Zero Wing Guild made our Dark Soul suffer a little before. Now it's time to repay it tenfold! Immediately notify all adventure teams and let them send all their elites to the Orc Empire. This time, you will also go with them in person. Be sure to let Zero Wing Guild know how powerful our Dark Soul is!"

"Yes!" Mo Wudao nodded slightly, a trace of excitement flashing in his eyes.

Since Dark Soul had grown stronger, they, as Dark Soul's strongest adventure team, had rarely taken action personally. It was all left to adventure teams like Dark Hunters and Shadow Claws. It was difficult to even move their bodies.

White River City, Adventurer's Association.

As soon as Shi Feng stepped into the hall, he found that the players in the crowded hall were discussing the Blackwater Guild and Scarlet Flame Fortress, and they were all talking very excitedly.

"The Blackwater Guild is really powerful. They took down Scarlet Flame Fortress so quickly. It will be much easier to explore the Orc Empire now. I heard that this Scarlet Flame Fortress, like Zero Wing City, can directly teleport players to designated coordinates nearby, so even we can avoid the checkpoints blocking the interior of the Orc Empire and directly operate in the core area of the Orc Empire."

"Yes, I heard that the core area of the Orc Empire is a treasure trove. Not only are there many rare ores and herbs, but the experience points for killing monsters there are also much higher than in the interior area. If we can enter the Orc King City regional dungeon, it will be even more awesome. The monsters inside have a chance to drop Magic Crystals."

"I also heard that the Orc King City is a very rare Shura-ranked regional dungeon, a super-large regional dungeon with a level range of 50 to 100. Plus, it's a neutral map, so the drops inside are simply incomparable to other regional dungeons."

"But Zero Wing Guild is miserable this time. Blackwater Guild has made such a ruthless move. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Zero Wing Guild to survive in the Orc Empire in the future."

"I heard that many well-known adventure teams and top adventure teams wanted to enter Silverwing Town before. Many adventure teams couldn't even get a spot. Now, those adventure teams must be regretting it."

…

The players in the hall were glowing with excitement when they talked about Scarlet Flame Fortress, but when they talked about Zero Wing Guild, they couldn't help but shake their heads. They were not optimistic about Zero Wing Guild's situation. After all, the gap between the two sides was too big. Zero Wing Guild could still rely on the advantage of Silverwing Town before, but now that Blackwater Guild has Scarlet Flame Fortress, this advantage is gone.

"The news spreads really fast." Shi Feng smiled wryly as he listened to the crowd's discussion. "It seems that the Blackwater Guild has already prepared the publicity, and is just waiting for this moment to arrive?"

Blackwater Guild had just announced the news of Scarlet Flame Fortress, and the players in White River City began to discuss it. It was unlikely that this would happen.

It was normal for the high-level members of the major forces to know immediately, because the intelligence members of the major forces were scattered everywhere. As long as something happened in that place, they would report it immediately. However, ordinary players were different. Generally, it was players spreading the news to other players, which took some time for everyone to know.

But he had just received Bai Qingshuang's message, and then these ordinary players in the Adventurer's Association began to discuss it. This speed was a bit too fast.

The only possibility was that the Blackwater Guild was deliberately promoting it from within, secretly building momentum.

However, Shi Feng didn't care about it. He then walked towards the second-floor hall of the Adventurer's Association.

Just as Shi Feng arrived at the second-floor hall and walked towards the VIP counter, he suddenly heard a system friend communication request. The person contacting him was none other than Feng Qianyu.

"Guild Leader Black Flame, I just received news that the Blackwater Guild has openly announced a full-scale war against the Zero Wing Guild. As an ally, I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you?" Feng Qianyu said.

The Zero Wing Guild was developing better and better, and its maritime power was also growing, which was of great help to her on Thunder Island. She didn't have much spare capacity before, but now she was much more relaxed, and the Zero Wing Guild should naturally return the favor in the face of such a situation.

"Since Pavilion Master Feng has said so, then I won't be pretentious. I have received news that the Blackwater Guild and Jiulong Huang have been working very closely recently. I estimate that Jiulong Huang should have helped a lot with Scarlet Flame Fortress. I hope you can hold Jiulong Huang back." Shi Feng thanked her.

"There is no problem with that. I will send someone to cause some trouble for Jiulong Huang. At that time, Jiulong Huang should not have time to take care of the Orc Empire." Feng Qianyu nodded. "However, the Blackwater Guild and the Beast Emperor are also working together, and their combat power in the wild should not be underestimated. I can let Qing Huang take a group of elites over there. Although they can't compete with the Blackwater Guild and the Beast Emperor, they can make those dark players fear them, and they will restrain themselves a bit."

"There's no need for that. Qing Huang is your capable confidant, and she definitely has a lot of other things to do." Shi Feng smiled and directly refused. "As for the Blackwater Guild, the Beast Emperor, and the dark players, I also have some preparations. It won't be so easy to deal with our Zero Wing Guild."

He knew very well that Feng Qianyu's life was not so easy either. The battle for Thunder Island was much more troublesome than the Orc Empire. Each one was a super force with extraordinary foundations, and they could be kicked out of the game if they were not careful. It was already good enough to be able to restrain Jiulong Huang from acting rashly.

"Okay, if you have a shortage of funds, you can contact me at any time." Feng Qianyu looked at Shi Feng, who directly rejected her kindness, and felt a little surprised, but since Shi Feng had said so, she couldn't force her support.

After that, Feng Qianyu hung up the communication after talking about some issues related to the Dark Erosion Set.

"Sister Qianyu, how is the Zero Wing Guild? Do you need me to take people over there?" Qing Huang asked curiously.

"You don't have to go for the time being. The Zero Wing Guild seems to have some preparations, but this time the Blackwater Guild is serious. I estimate that even if the Zero Wing Guild has preparations, they won't be able to last long. You should prepare yourself." Feng Qianyu said.

"I understand." Qing Huang nodded, feeling that the Zero Wing Guild was a bit overconfident.

The Blackwater Guild occupied the Steel Empire, and its development speed was so rapid that even the Grand Pavilion Master admired it. The current Blackwater Guild had more experts than their Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, but they lacked some monsters that controlled the domain to guard the place. However, the Blackwater Guild also had means to deal with old monsters that controlled the domain. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to drive out other super-first-rate guilds and occupy the Steel Empire.

Meanwhile, in the VIP reception room of the Adventurer's Association on the other side.

"Respected Guardian, what can I do for you?" a high-level NPC supervisor walked into the VIP reception room, looking at Shi Feng with a smile and asking respectfully.

"I want to promote the Zero Wing Guild to a four-star guild. This is the promotion order." Shi Feng then took out the four-star guild promotion order from his backpack and placed it directly on the table, allowing the high-level NPC supervisor to check it.
