Chapter 1 Demonic Prison Fortress

Nie Yan was standing on a vacant lot in the Demonic Prison Fortress when dozens of arcane mages suddenly appeared before him, having teleported to his coordinates.

These arcane mages greeted Nie Yan one after another.

"Boss Nie Yan, we're here."

"Boss Nie Yan."

Each of the twenty-odd arcane mages wore an excited expression. Nie Yan had kept his plans a secret, with only a few core members knowing about them. Many of the arcane mages were completely in the dark, and it wasn't until they teleported over that they understood what was happening.

So, Nie Yan was using this trick!

Nie Yan's plan was for Nie Yan, Sun, and King of the World to sneak into the Demonic Prison Fortress first. Then, this group of arcane mages would use a mass teleport scroll to enter, followed by opening teleportation gates to bring over their teammates from the City of Elements. This way, more than three thousand members of the Niu Ren Tribe could be silently teleported into the Demonic Prison Fortress without anyone noticing.

They would completely destroy the Demonic Prison Fortress from the inside out!

Meanwhile, the Niu Ren Tribe players who remained in the City of Elements were also making moves. They entered the city's taverns one after another, disappearing from the sight of the Eternal Kingdom's players. After entering the taverns, they never came out.

The tavern's guest rooms were private, and even the cheapest ones cost around one gold coin. No other players were allowed to enter without the owner's permission. Therefore, no matter how closely the Eternal Kingdom's players watched, they couldn't see what the Niu Ren Tribe players were doing in the tavern rooms. As long as there were no spies within the Niu Ren Tribe leaking information, this plan would never be exposed.

In the eyes of the Eternal Kingdom's players, the Niu Ren Tribe members had vanished into thin air, nowhere to be found.

The news of the sudden disappearance of the Niu Ren Tribe players was truthfully reported to the higher-ups of the Eternal Kingdom.

"Can anyone tell me what the hell the Niu Ren Tribe is up to!" Huo Tian Kuanglong questioned, looking at everyone in the meeting hall.

The players below looked at each other, not knowing where the Niu Ren Tribe had gone. Their actions were just too bizarre.

Huo Tianshi Tu, one of the Eternal Kingdom's strategists, was thinking silently. He had a vague idea, but his mind was still in a muddle.

The strength of the Eternal Kingdom could only be considered mid-to-upper tier among all the guilds. Therefore, they didn't have much money to run their own intelligence network, let alone bribe the top players of the Niu Ren Tribe. So, they hadn't received any news so far.

However, the Mage Alliance collected information first.

"Boss Kuang Fa, we have a brother from the Niu Ren Tribe who sent a message saying that more than three thousand members of the Niu Ren Tribe are already inside the Demonic Prison Fortress," an arcane mage reported to Kuang Fa, the leader of the Mage Alliance.

Kuang Fa's expression turned astonished, and he asked in disbelief, "The Niu Ren Tribe is moving so fast. How did they do it?"

To transport more than three thousand people into a heavily guarded fortress silently, without causing any fighting, was an extremely difficult task!

"They first had Mad Rogue Nie Yan and two other thieves sneak into the Demonic Prison Fortress, then had a group of arcane mages use mass teleport scrolls to teleport to Mad Rogue Nie Yan's side, and then had the arcane mages open teleportation gates to bring their teammates over. That's how everyone got inside the Demonic Prison Fortress," the arcane mage explained. This was what their people had seen with their own eyes.

Kuang Fa paused with his teacup in hand, thinking that this Mad Rogue Nie Yan really had some tricks up his sleeve, even coming up with such a method. To achieve such an effect, several conditions had to be met. First, the guild had to have at least one top-tier thief who could sneak into a fortress without being discovered. Second, they had to have several mass teleport scrolls. Mass teleport scrolls were very rare. There was an expert-level level 50 dungeon that dropped them, but clearing that dungeon was extremely difficult. It seemed that only the Niu Ren Tribe had ever completed it.

This moving trick was not something that could be easily replicated. It would be difficult for other guilds to copy this method. Of course, it could be done if a lot of time was spent structuring it, but the same tactic would only be effective once. The second time, everyone would be prepared.

Mad Rogue Nie Yan actually used such a method, taking advantage of their unpreparedness. Such a surprise attack was difficult to defend against. It seemed that the Demonic Prison Guild was finished this time.

"Why are you only getting this information now?" Kuang Fa frowned, very dissatisfied with the intelligence department. If he had received the news earlier, he might have been able to remind the Eternal Kingdom and curry some favor.

"Mad Rogue Nie Yan arranged it too meticulously. Before the plan was implemented, only a little more than ten people among those three thousand knew his entire plan. They were all his confidants. Many of them didn't know until after they teleported over. I just got the news and came to report to you," the arcane mage explained, nervously looking at Kuang Fa. If Kuang Fa was in a bad mood, he would be done for.

"Forget it," Kuang Fa waved his hand, knowing that Mad Rogue Nie Yan must also be on guard and wouldn't let them get the news so easily.

"Should we notify the Eternal Kingdom?" the arcane mage asked, looking at Kuang Fa cautiously.

"Notify the Eternal Kingdom? What's the point of notifying them? Mad Rogue Nie Yan already has three thousand people inside the Demonic Prison Guild. As long as they release mass attack spells like crazy at the teleportation array, who would dare to come out of it? Since Mad Rogue Nie Yan had planned in advance, he must have guessed that there were spies from other guilds among the Niu Ren Tribe's three thousand members, and the news would leak out quickly, not giving the Eternal Kingdom time to react. By the time we notify the Eternal Kingdom, the teleportation array of the Demonic Prison Fortress will definitely have been occupied by the Niu Ren Tribe. It will take at least twenty minutes for the Eternal Kingdom's main force to reach the Demonic Prison Fortress. I estimate that the battle of the Demonic Prison Fortress will be over by then. How can the Demonic Prison Fortress's shrimp soldiers and crab generals withstand the Niu Ren Tribe's wolfish fellows!" Kuang Fa said. He could easily imagine the Eternal Kingdom's fate. It was useless for the Niu Ren Tribe to occupy the Demonic Prison Fortress. Instead of returning it to the Eternal Kingdom, it would be better to destroy it. After the Niu Ren Tribe retreated, the Demonic Prison Fortress would become a ruin.

In the Eternal Kingdom's meeting hall, the Eternal Kingdom's giants gathered together, anxiously discussing the current situation and guessing what actions the Niu Ren Tribe would take next. Given the Niu Ren Tribe's consistent style, once they decided to attack the Eternal Kingdom, they would definitely move like thunder.

But so far, the Niu Ren Tribe had not made any moves.

"Could the Niu Ren Tribe's people have suddenly disappeared and already be outside one of our fortresses?" Huo Tianzhi Yi said casually, guessing randomly.

Huo Tianzhi Yi's words startled everyone present.

Huo Tianshi Tu stood up abruptly, his expression changing, "Not good! Immediately put all three fortresses on full alert and search for any other players who have entered!"

"You mean..." Huo Tian Kuanglong was shocked. Just then, news from the players below made his heart sink to the bottom!

Niu Ren Tribe players had been discovered inside the Demonic Prison Fortress!

Adding that to the fact that three thousand members of the Niu Ren Tribe had disappeared into thin air, even an idiot would know what had happened!

The Niu Ren Tribe's three thousand players were already inside the Demonic Prison Fortress!

At this moment, the Niu Ren Tribe had already sounded the horn of attack. More than three thousand players split up and rushed to various strategic locations. Thieves had already sneaked into the various arrow towers, ambushing the players inside. The fortress was in complete chaos and could not function at all. The other Niu Ren Tribe players followed closely behind the thieves and swarmed into the arrow towers. The dense firepower suppressed the Eternal Kingdom's players inside the arrow towers, preventing them from raising their heads.

For a time, the entire Demonic Prison Fortress was filled with the sounds of battle.

Tang Yao led twenty-odd mages to occupy the Demonic Prison Fortress's teleportation array.

The teleportation array here was a bit simple, occupying about 3x3 yards. Beams of white light flashed through the teleportation array, and the first batch of Eternal Kingdom players to support the Demonic Prison Fortress had already appeared in the teleportation array, about twenty or thirty of them.

They had just recovered from the spatial transfer and looked up, only to see the teasing smiles of more than twenty mages from the Niu Ren Tribe.

"Eternal Kingdom bastards, we've been waiting for you for a long time!" Tang Yao cursed with a smile.

The Eternal Kingdom players were about to make a move when they felt violent magical fluctuations. Beams of flames descended from the sky, crashing down and engulfing them. Cries of agony came from within the flames, and the Eternal Kingdom players turned into beams of white light.

More than twenty mages took turns releasing mass attack spells in the direction of the teleportation array. The Eternal Kingdom had no chance. They died as soon as they teleported over. After a hundred or two died, no one came over. They understood that no matter how many people teleported over, it would be useless, just adding to Tang Yao's meal.

The teleportation array was cut off, and the Demonic Prison Fortress became an isolated city.

Inside the fortress, the ratio of the Niu Ren Tribe's numbers to the Eternal Kingdom's numbers was 3:5, but the strength of the Niu Ren Tribe was dozens of times that of the Eternal Kingdom. Wherever the Niu Ren Tribe players went, they were invincible, and the Eternal Kingdom players fled in terror.

Nie Yan, Sun, and King of the World took the lead and sneaked into the arrow towers one by one.

The eerie black flames of Nie Yan's Zennarde's Sword devoured countless people. All Nie Yan knew was that no one could resist his Zennarde's Sword. There were no survivors under his sword. Cloth armor and leather armor were basically one-hit kills. Some plate armor could withstand two blows, but the level difference between them and Nie Yan was too great, and the speed difference was too great. Basically, once they encountered Nie Yan, they couldn't escape!

The Demonic Prison Fortress had become a Shura slaughterhouse. After the arrow towers were occupied by the Niu Ren Tribe's thieves, the crossbows mounted on them slowly turned their direction, aiming at the Eternal Kingdom's players.
