Chapter 1 Very Many High-Level Players

It's a well-known fact that Niu Ren Tribe has a lot of high-level players. When a large group of top experts gather together, the butterfly effect they can produce isn't as simple as one plus one. There's a saying that even a genius-level player can't withstand pig-like teammates. Once a team is mixed with some players who aren't skilled, it often drags down the entire team, causing the team's overall strength to drop significantly. However, Niu Ren Tribe doesn't have to worry about this at all. Nie Yan recruited most of those amazingly talented top experts from the Greenland Empire, making the Niu Ren Tribe's top-level team strength far beyond the imagination of ordinary players. Such a team's leveling efficiency is very high, so it has already left other guilds far behind.

Although Angel Corporation is large and well-established, the group at the top of the pyramid is far behind Niu Ren Tribe. Furthermore, Angel Feather saw the power of flying mounts early on and focused most of his energy on collecting them. It wasn't until the top-tier classes of Niu Ren Tribe appeared that they suddenly realized that the most powerful thing wasn't flying mounts, but top-tier players. So, they could only start adjusting their strategy now. If only they had known earlier.

The same goes for the Moneymaker Consortium. Although they have gathered a very large force, and have roped in guilds like Zhu Shen’s Sword, Light and Darkness Empire, and Sacred Guardians, they currently have no players who have advanced to top-tier classes. This is destined to lag behind the Niu Ren Tribe.

Nie Yan has foresight, and under his guidance, it is only reasonable for Niu Ren Tribe to achieve such results.

Qin Han was extremely annoyed by Nie Yan and the others. His skeleton army was attacked from all sides and suffered heavy losses. A single bone dragon couldn't defend against the elusive Nie Yan and the others. Although the number of skeletons was expanding rapidly, the speed slowed down a lot.

In the center of the Shadow Jungle, there was a very large plain. There were very few monsters nearby, so few players came and went.

Qin Han, Shen Jian Wushuang, and his group appeared on the edge of the plain.

"Leader Qin Han, are you sure you want to do that? I'm worried that the Moneymaker Consortium will be dragged down," Shen Jian Wushuang said to Qin Han. He couldn't help but feel a deep-seated fear for what Qin Han was about to do. If Qin Han failed, Zhu Shen’s Sword would suffer a catastrophic disaster. The Moneymaker Consortium was fine. Even if they lost, they could just leave Faith. But Shen Jian Wushuang would probably only get some compensation. Zhu Shen’s Sword, which he had worked so hard to build, would be destroyed in an instant.

Shen Jian Wushuang thought about it. Anyway, the Moneymaker Consortium had acquired Zhu Shen’s Sword, and he had already profited a lot from it. Even if Qin Han wanted to destroy Zhu Shen’s Sword, there was nothing he could do.

"Success or failure, if the plan succeeds, who in the entire Greenland Empire would dare to touch our Moneymaker Consortium? If it fails, the Moneymaker Consortium will withdraw from Faith, and who can do anything to our Moneymaker Consortium?" Qin Han patted Shen Jian Wushuang on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Qin Han won't mistreat his own people."

Shen Jian Wushuang responded on the surface, but he cursed inwardly. Qin Han's personality was definitely the type who would rather betray the world than let the world betray him. Now that Qin Han needed him, he was naturally polite to him. Once he had no value, Qin Han would definitely kick him away. So, he had to get enough benefits and slowly transfer the guild's assets to his account while Qin Han wasn't paying attention. In the Moneymaker Consortium's alliance, there were quite a few people like Shen Jian Wushuang who had this idea.

Qin Han was frantically expanding his power, but he ignored the fact that a huge crisis was brewing within his forces.

They waited patiently. After about ten minutes, a team of more than 20,000 players entered the area. They were all from the Red Moon Guild, and they lined up on the plain.

"Leader Xie Wu, all the brothers have arrived."

The mage named Xie Wu, who was wearing a black robe, looked around and said, "Everyone waits here. Someone will be here in a while."

After a moment, another two or three thousand people entered the area. They were from the Breaking the Heavens Guild, led by their guild leader, Luoben De Jiaozi.

Xie Wu and Luoben De Jiaozi greeted each other, and the two discussed in low voices.

"Brother Jiaozi, who do you think will win if the Moneymaker Consortium continues to fight with Niu Ren Tribe like this?" Xie Wu asked Luoben De Jiaozi with a meaningful look.

"It's hard to say. Anyway, it's none of our business. We'll just wait and see. But the conditions offered by the Moneymaker Consortium are indeed tempting," Luoben De Jiaozi said in a low voice.

Xie Wu smiled knowingly and didn't discuss the issue any further.

Time passed bit by bit, and one guild after another entered the area. There were more than 20 guilds in total, with a staggering number of more than 500,000 people. They all had high expectations because Qin Han had promised them very good conditions, to reorganize them into a brand new guild. They felt that the Moneymaker Consortium was making a big move. A guild formed by so many guilds gathered together would be a behemoth, even in the entire Greenland Empire, and could compete with Niu Ren Tribe. In addition, the Zhu Shen’s Sword, Sacred Guardians, Light and Darkness Empire, and other guilds controlled by the Moneymaker Consortium, added up to more than three times the number of the Niu Ren Tribe alliance. Qin Han's ambition was still very reliable.

Some guild leaders received news from certain channels that the Undead Vengeance was created by the Moneymaker Consortium, targeting the Niu Ren Tribe. When the Undead Vengeance clashed with the Niu Ren Tribe, consuming their strength, and the Moneymaker Consortium then had a life-and-death battle with the Niu Ren Tribe, they felt that the Niu Ren Tribe might not be able to withstand it.

Someone calculated the cost for Qin Han. The funds required to merge so many guilds at the same time were a terrifying number. However, in their opinion, a conglomerate like the Moneymaker Consortium didn't lack money. Although some people had doubted Qin Han's intentions, their doubts were quickly dispelled. The Moneymaker Consortium was such a large consortium that it should still be trustworthy. Moreover, the Moneymaker Consortium was not merging with just one guild, but with two or thirty large guilds. The Moneymaker Consortium should not risk violating its promises. So, they came one after another.

The central plain was crowded with players. Some people from Zhu Shen’s Sword were responsible for maintaining order. The guild leaders were told that Qin Han would be over to reorganize the guilds in a while, and asked them to wait patiently.

Shen Jian Wushuang looked into the distance and saw nothing but players.

"Leader Qin Han, are you really going to kill all these players?" Shen Jian Wushuang asked Qin Han, his voice trembling slightly, and his mood difficult to calm down.

Qin Han was expressionless.

Shen Jian Wushuang felt a chill in his heart. Qin Han's silence was an admission. He could imagine what was about to happen here.

"Leader Qin Han, what about our brothers from Zhu Shen’s Sword?" Shen Jian Wushuang asked. There were at least five or six thousand brothers from Zhu Shen’s Sword maintaining order here.

"Give them some compensation. All of this was done by the necromancer Boardman, and has nothing to do with the Moneymaker Consortium or Zhu Shen’s Sword," Qin Han said indifferently, and turned to leave.

Shen Jian Wushuang watched Qin Han's departing figure, clenched his fists, and then released them. If the brothers from Zhu Shen’s Sword were also killed in this incident, he would lose all prestige in Zhu Shen’s Sword. If he couldn't even protect his own guild brothers, what kind of guild leader was he? But Qin Han was unscrupulous in his actions, and he didn't dare to go against Qin Han. If he went against this guy, the consequences would be very serious. In the end, he could only compromise.

The guild leaders of the twenty-odd guilds on the plain were wondering why Qin Han hadn't arrived yet. A giant bone dragon flew over from the sky and swooped down. On top of the bone dragon's head, a necromancer wearing a black robe stood proudly.

The necromancer Boardman waved his staff, and bone spurs instantly grew within a thousand yards, instantly killing tens of thousands of players. The ground below was a river of blood, transformed into a hellish landscape.

"Foolish humans, wail in fear and become servants of darkness! You will gain eternal life!" The necromancer Boardman let out a sharp, eerie laugh.

"It's a necromancer and a bone dragon!"

"We've been tricked!"

"Damn it, Moneymaker Consortium, I'm not done with you!" Luoben De Jiaozi cursed, "Everyone, retreat quickly!"

The players were shocked and angry. They didn't expect the Moneymaker Consortium to go back on its word and prepare to kill so many of them. They scattered and retreated, but they soon discovered that they were surrounded. Countless skeletons appeared from all directions. They were facing an endless sea of skeletons. The players who had been killed on the ground quickly revived and turned into powerful skeletons, chasing after all the ordinary players in sight.

Nie Yan, Xie Yao, and Tang Yao received intelligence from Guo Huai and rushed over, hiding on a distant hillside. After seeing this scene, they were horrified.

"Damn, that Qin Han is too ruthless. He killed four or five hundred thousand people in one go. Isn't he afraid of these guilds retaliating?" Tang Yao clicked his tongue, a little incredulous.

"Those who commit many injustices will perish. He has completely lost the hearts of the people. In a few months, he will definitely suffer the consequences," Nie Yan said. Qin Han's actions not only offended these guilds, but also made the Zhu Shen’s Sword, Sacred Guardians, Light and Darkness Empire, and other guilds feel betrayed. The forces that the Moneymaker Consortium had worked so hard to gather would eventually disintegrate from within.

Qin Han's move today was really ruthless. Killing so many players at once caused the number of undead to exceed one million in an instant. Such a powerful force was awe-inspiring.

"Nie Yan, Qin Han suddenly has so many skeletons. I'm worried he will start attacking our Niu Ren Tribe," Xie Yao said worriedly.

Nie Yan nodded and said, "What's coming will eventually come. It won't be so easy for him to destroy our Niu Ren Tribe."
