Chapter 1 Saturn Empire

This was the first time players from Greenland had encountered players from the Saturn Empire. Their strange appearance made everyone turn their heads.

The tallest among them was a sturdy figure clad in metal armor, wielding a heavy shield and a greatsword. His skin was blue, and a metal horned helmet covered his head, revealing only a face that looked extremely fierce.

He was an Orc warrior!

Orcs were the most suitable race for warriors, their racial talent being a strength talent.

Many outstanding warriors had emerged among the Orcs.

Next to the Orc warrior was a slender player wielding two daggers, wearing leather armor, with pointed ears indicating his identity: an Elf rogue! Elves were gifted with stealth, making them perfect for the rogue class.

There were also three other players. One was a rather portly figure wearing a cloth robe, uniquely styled in a simple gray-white tone with ancient runes inscribed on it. His class was a Shaman Witch Doctor! A profession that made many shiver. They wielded healing magic and controlled various elements of nature. He looked honest, easily putting people at ease, but the fleeting glint in his eyes proved he was not as simple as he seemed.

The other two were an Elf mage and an Elf druid.

It was hard not to attract attention when five people walked together. They were all high level, the lowest being level 51, and the highest, the Elf mage, already level 55.

"This is Carol City? It doesn't seem as bustling as our Orc capital," the Orc warrior said, looking around with a hint of disdain.

The portly Shaman Witch Doctor watched the players passing by and said, "The layout of the Greenland Empire's map is different from our Orc capital. The Orc capital is well-connected, surrounded by many level 30-40 and 50-60 maps. This is the busiest time for the Orc capital. Carol City's population is divided among hundreds of small towns nearby, so naturally it doesn't seem as bustling as the Orc capital. However, Carol City's population base is actually twenty percent larger than our Orc capital." The portly Shaman Witch Doctor was quite knowledgeable.

The others understood after the portly Shaman Witch Doctor's explanation. Although they were all a bit arrogant, they were very respectful to the portly Shaman Witch Doctor. He was the implicit leader of this five-person team.

"Fei Mao, I heard you have a classmate in the Triumph Empire. Why don't you have him come and guide us? We can give him some money." The portly Shaman Witch Doctor said. They were new here and didn't know where to go in Carol City.

Fei Mao was the Elf rogue. He thought for a moment and replied, "I'll contact him immediately."

"Qing An, when will our Angel Corps Elite Knights expand recruitment?" the Orc warrior next to him asked casually, looking around and making small talk.

The Elite Knights were the Angel Corps' top warrior team, currently consisting of fifty people.

"I don't know. You'll have to ask Angel." Qing An, the portly Shaman Witch Doctor, said casually, scanning the shops on both sides.

He had come to Carol City to do a quest, but the Niuren Tribe (literally, Bullsh*t Tribe) was a potential rival of the Angel Corps, so it would be good to gather some information about them to take back.

"I wouldn't dare to ask the boss," the Orc warrior said dejectedly.

"As a veteran member of the Angel Corps, you're not doing well enough yourself. What can we do? Instead of thinking about expanding recruitment, you should improve yourself and try to get into the top fifty," Qing An said. He was also a powerful figure in the Angel Corps, holding the power of life and death.

The Orc warrior was the weakest of the group. The others were slightly better, ranking at least in the top hundred in the Angel Corps. As for him, he ranked seventh in the Angel Corps. Although he was only ranked seventh in strength, his influence was second only to Ang Yi Tian Shi (literally, Soaring Wing Angel). He had a significant network of connections. Without him, the Angel Corps would never have achieved its current glory.

"Those freaks in the top fifty, I won't even mention them. They're a bunch of beasts," the Orc warrior said glumly. How difficult it was to get into the top fifty! When the Angel Corps was dominating other virtual games, he had always been a core member of the guild, ranked in the top fifty. But after the Angel Corps entered *Faith*, they had a great opportunity for development. They took control of a large number of virtual assets in the Orc capital early on, received investment from two large fund companies, and later were favored by the Century Consortium. They became extremely popular, with a large number of new people joining every day. The other guilds in the Orc capital were undoubtedly destroyed. The Angel Corps dominated the Orc capital, filled with talent, and their momentum was unmatched. He was gradually squeezed out of the top fifty. Because he was a veteran member, he could often go to dungeons with Qing An and others, but his ranking in the Angel Corps had dropped to over six hundred.

Qing An smiled and comforted the Orc warrior, "You are veteran members of the Angel Corps, having been through thick and thin with the Angel Corps for so many years. Angel and I have seen it all. As long as the Angel Corps exists, we won't mistreat you. But you also need to step up. We veteran members must not lose to those newcomers. The Angel Corps is developing, and we will conquer the entire Saturn Empire, and even come to Greenland in the future. You must keep up! Don't fall behind."

"Qing An, I understand," the Orc warrior nodded, feeling a bit moved by Qing An's words.

Qing An and the others went to the Starry Sky Pharmacy, then visited several auction houses in Carol City and interviewed a few NPCs, methodically carrying out his mission. At the same time, he also picked up some information about the Niuren Tribe.

Cripps Fortress. The arrival of the Niuren Tribe broke the peace here.

Niuren Tribe players were everywhere on the streets, constantly cleaning up the Wraith Warriors and advancing in all directions.

Nie Yan led over five hundred players down the main street, heading towards the center of Cripps Fortress. Today, he truly understood the power of teamwork!

When encountering elites on the street, Nie Yan only needed to issue an order, and a dense rain of magic would roar through the sky, landing on the Wraith Warriors and sending them flying. There was no suspense! Although there were occasional accidents, with some Wraith Warriors rushing into the rear mage ranks and slaughtering them, they were quickly cleaned up.

With the priests having the Novice Resurrection spell, the losses were relatively small. At most, the fallen team members would lose some experience.

In a distant plaza, a behemoth appeared before Nie Yan and the others.

Dark Mammoth: Level 50 Lord, Health 230,000/230,000.

This mammoth was three or four yards tall and huge. It was difficult to fight a level 50 Lord head-on. This was a plaza, with no place to use terrain to their advantage. They could only have the shield warriors stand in front and face it head-on. There were also more than sixty Wraith Warriors around the mammoth. Before dealing with the Dark Mammoth, they had to take care of the Wraith Warriors first.

Nie Yan immediately directed the operation.

"Dao Guang, Leng Ao Ying, Yi Yan, flank from the right. On my command, charge straight for the mammoth. Qi Zai, Hua Sha, Tiantang, each of you keep an eye on one, and make sure to keep their health stable!" Nie Yan observed the distribution of the Wraith Warriors and immediately gave the order.

"Isn't this too risky?" Qi Zai asked worriedly. He was more cautious and paid more attention to safety.

Charging head-on at the mammoth while surrounded by more than sixty Wraith Warriors was indeed a risky move. If the three shield warriors were surrounded, even the most numerous priests couldn't heal them in time.

"It's okay, I know what I'm doing. Which ice mage has the Frost Rain skill?" Nie Yan looked at the group of elemental mages behind him.

"I have Frost Rain," Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun (literally, Desire Stains Youth) said, looking at his skill bar. Today was the first time he had met Nie Yan in person. He had only seen Nie Yan's videos before, and he was a bit excited.

Nie Yan glanced at Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun, a new player who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, quite young. It was surprising that someone so young could join the ranks of the Niuren Tribe's top players. In the entire Niuren Tribe, it seemed that only Sun was younger than him.

"I also have Frost Rain," Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan (literally, Undying Scoundrel) said. He also had the Frost Rain skill. Although the attack power of this skill was pathetically low, its excellent slowing effect was favored by many top players, and he was one of them.

Two Frost Rain skills were enough.

Seeing Nie Yan looking for players with the Frost Rain skill, Dai Tou Da Ge Qi Zai (literally, Big Brother Qi Zai) smiled slightly. He understood.

Nie Yan laid out all the steps of the plan, placing the players with area-of-effect spells in positions with relatively open fields of vision.

After arranging everything, Nie Yan looked at Cui Can Dao Guang (literally, Brilliant Saber Light) and the others and said, "Go ahead, be careful. I'll notify you as soon as I'm ready. Be sure to attack the mammoth first and attract its aggro."

Cui Can Dao Guang smiled, he understood what to do.

These players were all exceptionally skilled. Once they were given instructions, they immediately understood Nie Yan's intentions and offered their own insights and opinions. As for coordination, these people often went to dungeons and grouped up to level together, so there was absolutely no problem.

"Okay, let's begin," Nie Yan said to the group.

Soon, the players moved nervously, entering their designated positions. Cui Can Dao Guang, Leng Ao Ying (literally, Arrogant Shadow), and others drank a few bottles of Invisibility Potions and began to slowly circle around the edge of the plaza.

Seeing them leave, Nie Yan adjusted the team, looked around at the high ground in all directions, and saw mages with area-of-effect spells standing in wait, ready for action.
