Chapter 115 Defense of Hilton Fortress

Nie Yan made a trip to the underworld. The five guilds of the Tuoba Family had been attacking the War God Tribe's fortress for a long time without success. He received news that the War God Tribe had completed the construction of two Frost Ironclad Trebuchets at their fortress. The third Ironclad Trebuchet was still under construction and would be completed soon.

Once all three Ironclad Trebuchets were completed, the War God Tribe would launch a full-scale counterattack. Previously, during the Battle of Cripps Fortress, Warblade Bloodlust had used Ironclad Trebuchets to wantonly slaughter the players of the Niu Ren Tribe. This time, they would use Frost Ironclad Trebuchets to slaughter the players of the five guilds of the Tuoba Family. If the Tuoba Family didn't have some advanced machinery or powerful summoned creatures, they would definitely suffer.

The battle situation was as Nie Yan had predicted. On the sixth day of the Battle of Nisode City, the War God Tribe had completed all three Frost Ironclad Trebuchets. The Frost Ironclad Trebuchets appeared before the world in a proud posture, madly slaughtering the players of the five guilds of the Tuoba Family. All the legions of the Tuoba Family besieging the city began a full-scale rout.

Defeat was inevitable.

The War God Tribe began to gain a certain degree of advantage. As long as they protected the three Frost Ironclad Trebuchets, everything would be fine. As for the affairs of Nisode City, he could leave them to Guo Huai to handle. The situation was already under control.

Nie Yan resold the equipment he had brought up from the underworld again. This time, the equipment he brought over only sold for 500,000 gold coins. The market for equipment that added Dark Vision or Focus was already saturated. The market's demand for this type of equipment would only increase again after a period of time.

Selling equipment like this was definitely most profitable in the beginning. Later on, it would become less and less profitable, and it might even be better for Nie Yan to do something else. Nie Yan had made an appointment with Duo Duo to continue reselling equipment after a while. The profits earned from reselling equipment during this period had indeed made both guilds a fortune.

Guo Huai sent news that Sun had received a flying mount quest and was in the process of completing it. Nie Yan also received news from Wang Zhe Tian Xia that he had just obtained two Sub-Legendary grade equipment. His movements were quite fast.

Under Guo Huai's arrangement, the Niu Ren Tribe, together with several other guilds, had taken down all the Beginner Fortresses in Carol City. They were busily upgrading the buildings and defenses of the various fortresses. They were extremely busy, and the entire Niu Ren Tribe was bustling with activity.

Nie Yan checked the progress of his various quests. There were a total of three quests in progress. The first quest, the Legend of the Ten Holy Knights, Nie Yan had received Karl's request and was searching for the truth, looking for the dragon girl, Benita. Nie Yan estimated that to complete this quest, he would need to be at least level 100, and it would be very difficult, so he put it aside for the time being. The second quest, finding the Spirit Communication Rune of the Spider Queen Fenas, was also a very high-level quest, and the difficulty was self-evident. He couldn't do this quest for the time being either. The third quest was to collect the Abak Set. Nie Yan needed to go to the City of Gold to complete this quest. He could enter the City of Gold as long as he was level 60, and he should be able to receive quest guidance when he got there.

In addition, he was also being tracked by the wandering spirit princess, Aina. However, the wandering spirit princess, Aina, had not appeared all along. Nie Yan guessed that she might suddenly appear during a certain stage of the quest, chasing after him and affecting the progress of the quest. Nie Yan had to be very careful when doing quests.

Nie Yan prepared himself, purchased a large number of consumables, and teleported to Hildelok in the Emerald City to go to the City of Gold. While he was on the way, a system prompt suddenly sounded.

System: "Molten lava erupts from the earth, disaster descends on Hilton Fortress. The warriors of the Greenland Empire defend Hilton Fortress, bravely resisting the invasion of demons. The Hilton Fortress Defense War expansion is now open. Warriors, go to Hilton Fortress and use your powerful strength to defend this heroic city of mankind!"

Nie Yan's heart skipped a beat. The demon siege of Hilton Fortress had finally begun. The demon siege would last for four or five days. The NPCs in the fortress would be killed and wounded, and then the players would enter Hilton Fortress and become the main force in defending against the demon attacks. In addition, after level 100, some underworld players would gradually arrive on the surface, and then the war between the two major factions would begin.

Seeing this system prompt, a weight lifted from Nie Yan's heart. He had successfully predicted the demon siege of Hilton Fortress. He wondered if the NPCs there had made prior preparations. Nie Yan opened his title and looked at it. He was still a Great Scholar.

Great Scholar: 25 points away from the next title level, Great Prophet.

Nie Yan had predicted the demon siege of Hilton Fortress, but had only completed three-fifths of the promotion to Great Prophet. Nie Yan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. It was too difficult to obtain this Great Prophet title. After all, he couldn't encounter the prediction of war every time.

Nie Yan searched for relevant information about the Great Prophet on the official website. To be promoted from Great Scholar to Great Prophet, the degree of completion was determined according to the size of the predicted event. Predicting an ordinary war only counted as one-fifth. Only after predicting five events could one be promoted. Nie Yan's successful prediction of the demon siege of Hilton Fortress was equivalent to three events, so he had completed three-fifths.

Nie Yan looked at the rights of the Great Prophet. The Great Prophet could have a fief of his own in his country of birth, own a city of his own, and all the tax revenue from that city would belong to the Great Prophet. He could set the laws of that city. In addition, in the Greenland Empire and the Satreen Empire, the rights of the Great Prophet were equivalent to an elder of the council, with many supreme honors. It was also said that the Great Prophet could communicate with gods and nature and possess a powerful summoned creature of his own.

Many things still needed to be explored by the players themselves. The official website did not list everything.

However, Nie Yan was still quite tempted by these benefits of the Great Prophet mentioned above. The city mentioned above was not as simple as a fortress, but a large city like Carol City or Nisode City, with many fortresses attached. However, the title of Great Prophet was a bit far away from Nie Yan. After all, the historical process of the game had already changed, and it was still very difficult for Nie Yan to predict the next event. Moreover, the Great Prophecy Technique could only be cast once every ten days, and it was not guaranteed to be effective.

Nie Yan could only give up for the time being. He wondered if there were any rewards for successfully predicting the demon siege of Hilton Fortress. The system did not prompt him. After the demon siege ended, Nie Yan would have to go to Hilton Fortress to see if there were any special rewards.

At this time, he was already on the way to the City of Gold.

The City of Gold was located to the south of Hildelok. It was rich in gold. A wealthy mine owner built such a magnificent castle there. It stood on the mountainside of Mount Bulkes. Later, the great mine owner abandoned the light and became a demon. That was the famous boss, Mine Slave Igelin. Mine Slave Igelin was a level 90 Lord. Players didn't dare to challenge it for the time being and could only go to the underground mine under the City of Gold.

Nie Yan rode the Falkner Warhorse and galloped towards it.

In the distance on the mountainside, the huge castle came into Nie Yan's sight. That was the City of Gold. The area above the City of Gold was the area where Mine Slave Igelin was active, and below was a famous dungeon, the Underground Mine of the City of Gold. Brilliant Cutlass and others had already cleared that dungeon. It was said that when they came here, they had a conflict with a guild in Hildelok. That guild had about two thousand people and blocked Brilliant Cutlass and others in the City of Gold. As a result, Brilliant Cutlass and his team killed their way out. Twenty people beat them until they had no temper at all. From then on, the Niu Ren Tribe became famous in Hildelok.

The various guilds in Hildelok were very polite to players from the Niu Ren Tribe who came to run dungeons. They understood who they could afford to offend and who they couldn't. This was already a long time ago. At that time, Nie Yan was still in the underworld. Such small frictions were common when leveling up or running dungeons. If they made a fuss over a little friction and sent the entire guild to encircle and suppress them, it would be too much of a fuss.

Now, there were still quite a lot of players above level 60, so the City of Gold was particularly lively. There were people setting up stalls selling things next to the forest path outside the City of Gold.

Nie Yan went all the way and arrived outside the City of Gold along with the crowd. He was wearing a large black cloak, completely hidden under the black cloak.

"Looking for a team for the Underground Mine of the City of Gold, Mage with 800+ spell damage..."

"Looking for a Priest and a Holy Knight for the Underground Mine of the City of Gold dungeon team, requiring the Priest to have 1000+ healing and the Holy Knight to have 500+ healing."

The outside of the City of Gold was bustling with noise, with about two or three thousand players gathered. People were constantly shouting to form teams to run dungeons. There were players from various guilds of the Greenland Empire, many of whom had come from other cities, and there were also many casual players who wanted to find a dungeon team.

Since this was not a safe area, the players were quite cautious.

Some people were scattered everywhere in groups, scrutinizing everyone. When they met a suitable team member, they would go up and ask. Their requirements for each player were very high. If there was even a slight discrepancy with the conditions they proposed, those casual players would be turned away.

However, occasionally some low-end teams would set off for the Underground Mine of the City of Gold. They were not going to clear the dungeon, but only to kill monsters and level up in the dungeon. If they were lucky, they would also get one or two pieces of good equipment.

Nie Yan walked through the crowd. The black cloak concealed his appearance, and no one recognized him. Ordinary players were already accustomed to players wearing cloaks, so they didn't pay attention to him when Nie Yan passed by. They didn't know that the person wearing the black cloak was the famous Thief Nie Yan.

Fa Biao De Wo Niu is thinking about the subsequent plot.
