“Has there been anything unusual in the eastern part of Emerald City recently?” Nie Yan asked Love Assassin.

“I heard that skeletons attacked several villages over there. I just got the news, and I haven’t confirmed what exactly happened.” Love Assassin said. After all, it had just happened not long ago, and that area was all under the control of the Asskickers United, so his knowledge was very limited.

*Looks like I’ll have to take a trip myself,* Nie Yan thought.

Nie Yan chatted with Love Assassin, who reported on the situation of the Mad Rogue Alliance. The Mad Rogue Alliance had achieved considerable success, capturing sixteen fortresses. These fortresses were located in the west of Emerald City, the east of Flame City, and the north of Red Leaf City, forming a sphere of influence at the junction of the three cities. The surrounding guilds had all suffered losses at the hands of the Mad Rogue Alliance, so the Mad Rogue Alliance’s position was quite solid.

Nie Yan clarified the future direction of the Mad Rogue Alliance. They couldn’t be timid and shrink back from the Asskickers United anymore. For the sake of the overall strategy of Nirvana Guild, the Mad Rogue Alliance had to start fighting the Asskickers United. Nie Yan would provide the costs of the war and the funds needed for the war to the Mad Rogue Alliance.

With the funding provided by Nie Yan, Love Assassin had nothing to worry about. Once a fight broke out, the war expenses were the most troublesome thing. If Nie Yan was willing to reimburse them, then everything would be easy to handle.

After chatting with Love Assassin, Nie Yan said goodbye and left the teahouse, disappearing into the end of the street.

Seeing Love Assassin walk over, Mad Soul couldn’t help but ask, “Can I ask who that person was?”

Love Assassin smiled and said, “He is someone that others will never be able to surpass.”

Mad Soul raised an eyebrow and tentatively asked, “Crazy Thief Nie Yan?”

“There’s always someone better. The name Crazy Thief Nie Yan was earned through great achievements. From what I know about him, he is a very low-key person, sometimes even frighteningly calm. You’re still too green.” Love Assassin glanced at Mad Soul and walked straight out the door.

Mad Soul was stunned, lost in thought.

Nie Yan left Emerald City, riding the Darkwing Dragon towards the eastern part of Emerald City. According to what he learned from Love Assassin, the area near Broker Fortress in the east was the most frequent area for skeletons to appear. He guessed that there was probably something fishy going on there.

About ten minutes later, Nie Yan saw the fortress standing in the desert from a distance.

The Asskickers United’s Broker Fortress!

The Darkwing Dragon was too large. To avoid being discovered by getting too close, Nie Yan recalled the Darkwing Dragon and jumped down from its back. His body fell quickly, and with a thud, he landed on the ground, arching his body and standing firm.

Nie Yan quickly swept forward. There was still a long distance between here and Broker Fortress, and he slowly advanced towards it.

Passing through a dense jungle, Nie Yan discovered a desolate town. The town was now only ruins and rubble, but it was still possible to see the prosperity of the past. Next to the wide main road in the center, there were rows of shops, which were now severely damaged, and the air was filled with the stench of blood.

The ground was covered with solidified bloodstains, which shocked Nie Yan. He could imagine how tragic everything that happened back then was.

Suddenly, from the rubble next to him, a small skeleton pounced on Nie Yan. Its entire body was white bone, its eye sockets pulsed with frenzied red soul fire, and it held a long, hooked scythe in its hand, slashing towards Nie Yan.

It was a Level 100 skeleton, but it was just a normal monster!

It could be seen that this skeleton was a small child in life.

Nie Yan dodged its attack with a flash, and with a spinning kick, he swept the skeleton’s head with one foot, sending the skeleton flying out.

It staggered and rolled several times on the ground, and then climbed up again.

Before it could stand still, Nie Yan kicked it straight in the chest, sending it flying backwards and crashing heavily into the wall.

With a muffled bang, the skeleton bounced to the ground and rolled around in place, but it still didn’t die.

This guy actually had more than 50,000 health. Among the Level 100 creatures, it was considered to be more difficult to deal with. One could imagine what a terrifying scene it would be if a skeleton army composed of such skeletons gathered and attacked villages, towns, cities, and fortresses like a tide.

After attacking five times in a row, the skeleton finally fell to the ground and scattered into pieces.

Nie Yan was about to leave when he discovered that a team of about a hundred skeletons had gathered outside the town, and they were entering the town one after another.

Nie Yan flipped over and jumped onto the roof of a small house, avoiding the skeletons’ line of sight and hiding behind a wall.

These skeletons wandered around the village, seemingly searching for something. They left in groups without finding anything.

Confirming that these skeletons were the Level 100 skeletons that were resurrected from the Undead Scourge in his past life, Nie Yan finally confirmed that the Undead Scourge expansion pack was indeed about to begin. He was thinking about whether to tell the council of elders of the Viridian Empire about this news. Although this was not what he had predicted with the Great Prophecy, at least he knew what was about to happen. If he successfully predicted this event, then he would leap from a Great Scholar to a Great Prophet, equivalent to the status and treatment of an elder of the council of elders. In the eyes of the players, he would be at the supreme level.

Nie Yan had always been full of expectations for the Great Prophet. The status of a Great Scholar was already very remarkable in the entire Viridian Empire, and the level of a Great Prophet was even more unattainable in the eyes of ordinary players.

This Undead Scourge event gave him a glimmer of hope. The Great Prophet seemed to be right in front of him, within reach.

It was best to have accurate information and evidence so that he could have enough confidence when presenting it to the elders of the council of elders of the Viridian Empire.

These skeletons were walking towards the fortress in the distance. Their formation appeared very orderly, completely unlike ordinary, mindless skeletons.

These skeletons should be controlled by players.

Broker Fortress had always been under the control of the Asskickers United, and there had been no news of it being controlled by the undead. However, these skeletons were freely moving around Broker Fortress. This phenomenon was thought-provoking.

Could it be… An idea flashed through Nie Yan’s mind, and his heart sank. If his guess was correct, then Nirvana Guild would be in trouble. If that undead mage Bordman was resurrected by someone from the Asskickers United, then once the Undead Scourge expansion pack was launched, Nirvana Guild would bear the brunt.

He had to take a trip to Broker Fortress and find out what was going on!
