Chapter 1750 – Establishing an Adventurer Alliance
Inside the silent hall, the handso man’s shout imdiately made Hecate’s upper echelon tremble involuntarily.
Although they were part of the upper echelon of Hecate and possessed great individual strength, when facing the handso man before them, they instinctively felt a sense of awe towards him.
The reason for this was the identity of the male youth before them. He was none other than Carnage, the player nicknad Hell Knight, who was also one of Hecate’s Vice Guild Leaders.
Although Carnage was baby-faced, in reality, he was already over 40 years old, much older than they were. Moreover, he had worked as a rcenary and was nicknad the God of Death.
It was no exaggeration to say that a large part of Hecate’s current success was due to Carnage.
Moreover, Carnage was also the head instructor for Hecate’s internal training program, and every one of them present inside the eting hall right now had actually received his tuition. Even Vast Heaven owed the strength he had today to Carnage’s tutelage. anwhile, the training they had undergone was akin to going through hell.
Hence, they knew exactly what kind of personality Carnage had.
Normally, he didn’t lose his temper easily. When he did get angry, however, it was like hell descending on the world. And right now, they could sense that he was furious.
However, his reaction was only natural.
Of the 3,000 elite and expert mbers the Guild had sent to the Snow Rift, over 2,000 had gotten killed. Even when Hecate went to deal with the Centurion Dynasty, it had not suffered such a staggering loss. Yet, now, the Guild had sustained such casualties just because of ten players.
The Guild used tons of resources to nurture its elite and expert mbers. After opening up the path to Cold Wind City, it had sent only 1,000 expert players over. Only after arriving at Cold Wind City and annexing the entire Matchless Family did Hecate’s Guild mber count in Cold Wind City skyrocket, the number of elite and expert mbers breaching 10,000. anwhile, among the 3,000 players Vast Heaven had brought to the Snow Rift, nearly 400 were the Guild’s original expert players. And among the 2,000-plus players that were killed, 300-plus were these original experts—the equivalent to losing more than one-third of the total number of experts Hecate had in Cold Wind City. This was a massive loss.
The levels lost was one thing; the crucial point was the weapons and equipnt lost.
In the Ice Crystal World, Guild elites and experts relied mainly on Lifestyle Players for their weapons and equipnt. However, very few Lifestyle Players could produce weapons and equipnt of suitable standards for elite and expert players. Not to ntion, the materials needed to produce Level 50 Secret-Silver Weapons and Equipnt were also extrely valuable and very difficult to acquire.
anwhile, based on the post-war statistics, they had lost over 200 pieces of Level 50 Secret-Silver Equipnt. Since producing just one piece of Level 50 Secret-Silver Equipnt already required a lot of ti and resources—all the more for 200 pieces—this loss would severely impact their Guild’s raid progress of the Snow Rift.
“Vice Guild Leader, we’ve already done a thorough investigation. The people who targeted us this ti are all experts of the Asura adventurer team that had disappeared previously. From what we heard, it seems that these experts had gone with their commander on an expedition. However, the strange part is that these experts weren’t so strong before. Right now, we still don’t know how they managed to gain the combat power they have,” a Level 52 Elentalist reported in a careful tone.
“They suddenly beca stronger?” Carnage’s lips curled up slightly as he read the report his subordinate sent him. “This is interesting. They’re just a bunch of hillbillies, yet not only did they gain a massive boost in Basic Attributes after going out on an expedition, but even their combat standards have undergone a qualitative transformation? It seems this Asura adventurer team has quite a huge secret.
“Investigate this matter imdiately! Use every ans available to dig out this secret! As long as Hecate acquires it, then the day Hecate becos the number one Guild in the north will be just around the corner!
“Right, also notify the main branch to send the Twelve Heavens to Cold Wind City.”
Upon hearing Carnage’s command, everyone in the room was shocked despite themselves.
They had never thought that Carnage would actually summon the Twelve Heavens to a backwater like Cold Wind City. The Twelve Heavens were the apex combatants of Hecate. In Cold Wind City, aside from Carnage, Vast Heaven was the strongest mber of Hecate present. Even so, Vast Heaven’s level was still insufficient for him to beco one of the Twelve Heavens, only qualifying as a reserve mber, at most.
Normally, the Twelve Heavens would be split up and dispatched to Hecate’s various Branch Guilds. Nevertheless, Carnage was having all twelve of them co. Hecate’s upper echelon shuddered in fear just thinking about this matter.
These people could still rember the last ti the Twelve Heavens were all together. Back then, they were gathered to help repel the siege of a super-first-rate Guild’s army. In the end, due to the Twelve Heavens, the invading super-first-rate Guild had no choice but to give up on capturing one of Hecate’s Guild Towns. Yet, now, Carnage was actually mobilizing the Twelve Heavens just to deal with a single adventurer team. This was simply insane.
...
Elsewhere, Shi Feng and the others had already returned to Cold Wind City.
After reaching the city, the group discovered that nothing much had changed there. The player population in the city had increased only slightly, with the majority of the newcors being new players to God’s Domain, and a small portion being Hecate’s Guild mbers. Unlike on the continent of God’s Domain, players belonging to the Ice Crystal World couldn’t travel freely between different cities.
In the Ice Crystal World, travel between two different cities generally required players to unlock the gate separating the two cities first. Another thod was to use a special pathway. However, activating such special pathways was very troubleso. These pathways also had many restrictions. Hence, ordinary players couldn’t travel freely between different cities.
Currently, outside Asura’s Residence, Asura’s mbers crowded around the entrance as they welcod Shi Feng and the others’ return.
“It’s the commander! The commander is back!”
“All hail the commander!”
“Asura is invincible!”
The Asura adventurer team’s mbers were all thrilled to see Shi Feng. The shouting of thousands of players echoed throughout the streets of Cold Wind City, firing up the independent players that had co to join in on the fun.
Due to Shi Feng and the others defeating Hecate’s army, Asura’s fa in Cold Wind City had recovered to its peak. In fact, the adventurer team’s fa was even greater than before. The strength Shi Feng’s group displayed had captivated the independent players of Cold Wind City. As a result, many independent players were now hoping to join Asura.
“Commander, with this, I’m afraid the various large Guilds of Cold Wind City will target our adventurer team,” Solitary Nine said, revealing a bitter smile as he looked at the crowded street around him.
The goal of Guilds was to take control of NPC cities. anwhile, unlike in the NPC cities on the continent of God’s Domain, players could gain a small portion of control over the NPCs in the Ice Crystal World. Doing so required the support of a large number of players. At the sa ti, players also needed to complete a series of contributions to the city.
At this point, the Asura adventurer team’s strength was completely different from before.
Currently, aside from Asura’s mbers, hundreds of thousands of players crowded the street outside Asura’s Residence. One could easily imagine how high the Asura adventurer team’s prestige and reputation were in Cold Wind City right now. With so many players willing to join the adventurer team, all Asura needed to do was complete a series of contributions to the city; then, it could beco the true overlord of Cold Wind City.
With such a situation, how could the various large Guilds of Cold Wind City possibly let Asura operate unhindered?
The large Guilds would undoubtedly treat Asura as a thorn in their side and try to deal with it as soon as possible.
“Don’t mind them. If they want a fight, we’ll give them a fight,” Shi Feng said, chuckling. “Moreover, my original goal was to take control of Cold Wind City and make it the foundation of our Asura adventurer team.”
Solitary Nine and the others could not help their stupefaction at Shi Feng’s words.
They had thought that Shi Feng’s purpose behind revisiting Cold Wind City was simply a quest. Now, however, it would seem that Shi Feng’s sights were set much higher than they had imagined.
The thought of an adventurer team taking control of an entire NPC city was simply too crazy.
“Since so many people have co, I’m making an announcent in my capacity as Asura’s commander. From today onward, the Asura adventurer team will be establishing an Adventurer Alliance. We welco all adventurer teams and independent players to join this alliance! Any adventurer team and independent player that joins this alliance will enjoy a portion of the benefits offered by the Asura adventurer team!” Shi Feng declared loudly as he looked at the crowded street around him.
