Chapter 1 The Imminent Battle

Under the command of Cui Can Daoguang and the others, the Niuren Tribe's flying troops rapidly split into several squadrons, like giant dragons coiling in the sky. Cui Can Daoguang, Shui Se Yantou, and others each led a squadron, each composed of thousands of flying mounts.

Dragons formed from lines of flying mounts intertwined and soared in the sky, a truly spectacular sight.

The flying mounts of Angelic Dominion, Century Financial Group, and other guilds also quickly assembled, but they dared not attack rashly before organizing their ranks.

The forces of the two factions were clearly divided.

Every player in the Niuren Tribe couldn't help but feel excited. Angelic Dominion was an old rival of the Niuren Tribe, and the two were vying for dominance of the Light Faction. This battle would be crucial in determining the outcome!

Everyone's gaze was locked on Nie Yan atop the Darkwing Dragon. Those who couldn't see Nie Yan raised their ears, listening to Nie Yan's voice in the group chat. Everyone held their breath.

The Darkwing Dragon's robust form was awe-inspiring.

The physique of a Rank 9 Darkwing Dragon was already large enough, but after being blessed by the Guardian Angel Karenna's Great Blessing Spell, its wingspan was nearly thirty or forty yards, and the terrifying aura emanating from its body made it seem like a giant dragon from ancient times.

Nie Yan stood atop the Darkwing Dragon, scanning the area below. He saw the gazes projected by the Niuren Tribe guild members, a look of fervent worship and awe, as if looking up at a god. Nie Yan's prestige in the guild was evident.

A vast and distant emotion gradually spread in his heart. Back then, he was just an unknown small figure, never imagining he would be where he was today, standing on the back of the Darkwing Dragon, overlooking the land and its people?

The Niuren Tribe had grown from an unknown small guild to its current strength. It hadn't been easy, surviving countless life-or-death situations. The contributions of many members in making the Niuren Tribe strong were undeniable, but more importantly, Nie Yan had supported the entire Niuren Tribe with his own strength.

Looking at all the guilds like Angelic Dominion, Century Financial Group, Sacred Roman Empire, War God Tribe, and so on, which one wasn't started by large consortia or studios, which one wasn't a hegemon from the beginning? Aside from the Niuren Tribe, almost none grew from scratch! The Niuren Tribe truly started from nothing. At the beginning, there were only a few people like Nie Yan, Tang Yao, and Guo Huai! Nie Yan used his advantage from rebirth to seize opportunities, allowing the Niuren Tribe to grow bit by bit in the cracks, sweeping across the Green Land Empire like a whirlwind. Without Nie Yan, the Niuren Tribe wouldn't exist. Without Nie Yan's Starlight Potion Shop, without Nie Yan's recruitment of experts, without Nie Yan's diplomatic maneuvers, every crisis would have been enough to destroy the Niuren Tribe completely! Now, the Niuren Tribe finally had the solid foundation to compete for world domination, but even after it had fully grown, Nie Yan remained the supreme spiritual leader of the Niuren Tribe. Nie Yan earned the approval of all Niuren Tribe members with his generous character and subdued everyone with his powerful strength.

Nie Yan's wisdom and strength were like the hand of God, leading the Niuren Tribe to glory, so it was no wonder the Niuren Tribe players worshiped Nie Yan so much.

Nie Yan's cloak fluttered in the wind. At this moment, his mood was difficult to calm. He moved his right hand and switched to the Zennarde Sword. The hot flames of the sword burned fiercely, like his current fighting spirit. He lowered his head to scan the Niuren Tribe players below. At this moment, he was like a majestic War God, causing the Niuren Tribe players below to hold their breath.

Nie Yan, filled with excitement, said loudly, "Since the game's launch, I, Nie Yan, have experienced no less than hundreds of battles, and dozens of major wars. Wherever I go, enemies tremble with fear, and I have never been defeated. The enemies I have fought include top experts from various professions, large teams, and even super NPCs in Faith. I single-handedly broke through Angelic Dominion's Clemency Fortress, and Angelic Dominion could do nothing to me. I once swept through the Sacred Guardian Main Fortress with Daoguang and a dozen others, killing thousands of people and finally breaking out of the city. Some well-wishers gave me the title 'Mad Thief Nie Yan.' When I first heard this nickname, I couldn't help but smile, but I didn't expect it to stick until now."

The Niuren Tribe members listened quietly to Nie Yan's narration, longing for it. Never defeated? Who in the world dared to say such arrogant words except for Nie Yan? Indeed, these were all Nie Yan's glorious achievements, and videos could still be found online, still vivid in their minds.

"From the launch of the game until now, I have created the Niuren Tribe and the Starlight Potion Shop, defeated many guilds such as the Triumph Empire, unified the Green Land Empire, and was later named Duke of Abernathy, creating Okoron City with vast and boundless territory. Until now, we are competing with Angelic Dominion for the dominance of the Light Faction. Back then, the size of Angelic Dominion once frightened us, but now we are on equal footing with them. Now will be the moment for us to witness glory, to trample Angelic Dominion under our feet and unify the entire Light Faction. This is not only my glory, Mad Thief Nie Yan's glory, but also the glory of each of you. Remember the poem about Faith that I once said: 'In the deep twilight, by the glow of the campfire, let God witness, dawn and starlight alternate, light perishes, darkness dissipates, the world changes because of our arrival, we gather together from now on, advance and retreat together, live and die together, until there is no place on earth without our traces, Glory is my life.' I don't know if there are really gods in this world, but I know that this is a real world. Beside you are brothers who live and die with you, fighting together. All of this is not a dream. One day, you may tell a friend in real life that you once followed Boss Nie Yan to conquer the battlefield, that you once fought bloody battles with those brothers of the Niuren Tribe! Let us remember today. Today, we will create our own glory here! Glory is my life!" Nie Yan's heavy and hoarse voice bombarded everyone's hearts, making everyone's blood boil.

"Glory is my life!"

"Glory is my life!"

The Niuren Tribe players roared in waves like a tsunami, sweeping across the entire City of Sin. It seemed as if the City of Sin was about to collapse in this terrifying wave.

Four hundred thousand flying troops, united as one, what a shocking force.

This earth-shattering sound swept across, alarming the flying mounts under the feet of many Angelic Dominion players, causing many low-level flying mounts to be frightened and out of control, causing a commotion in the Angelic Dominion's flying troops.

Angelic Feather, who was commanding the assembly of troops, changed his expression drastically when he saw this. How did Nie Yan do it? Why did the Niuren Tribe's troops have such a strong cohesion and high morale! Before every war, he would also say some inflammatory words and even promise all kinds of benefits, but they were not as effective as Nie Yan's few words.

Angelic Feather gradually understood that the reason was not with the Angelic Dominion players, but with himself. Did he really have to admit that he was inferior to Mad Thief Nie Yan? A sinister look flashed across his face. So what if you can incite? The final battle still depends on strength. I have prepared a backup plan. Wait and die!

"Nie Yan, Angelic Descent has taken the initiative over there. Our troops have been assembled. Let's kill them!" Cui Can Daoguang said in the team chat.

"Boss Nie Yan, let's kill them!" Xia Chong Yubing and others said.

Nie Yan glanced at Angelic Descent. The Angelic Descent players were still urging the huge Doomsday Thunderstorm to sweep through the Century Financial Group and Pantheon Tribe troops, causing them to retreat steadily, and the number of kills had already exceeded three or four thousand.

It was time to act!

"Brothers of the Niuren Tribe, kill!"

Nie Yan's voice immediately spread to every corner of the troops. All the Niuren Tribe players had already been eager to move, waiting for Nie Yan's order. As soon as Nie Yan gave the order, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Almost simultaneously, shouts of killing resounded through the sky. Twenty-five giant dragons formed from thousands of flying mounts rushed fiercely towards the direction where the Angelic Dominion flying troops were located, and the sky suddenly darkened. In front of these twenty-five dragons, Nie Yan and others' high-level flying mounts took the lead. Each dragon rotated and charged in the sky, creating a magnificent sight.

What a spectacular and shocking scene, all the players in the City of Sin held their breath.

Seeing that the Niuren Tribe had launched a fierce attack, there was a panic on the Angelic Dominion side. Their ordering of troops was far less rapid than that of the Niuren Tribe. The leaders of each team were still constantly issuing one order after another. Concentrating so many people to command them uniformly was not a simple matter.

The Niuren Tribe's instructions were concise and clear, allowing Cui Can Daoguang and others to command the troops of the Sacred Roman Empire and other guilds separately. Angelic Dominion, on the other hand, had a very complex composition of flying mounts. In addition to the flying troops of Angelic Dominion itself, there were twenty or thirty large and small affiliated guilds. Century Financial Group was even more troublesome. The joint guild was formed by more than thirty large guilds, and usually no one obeyed anyone. In addition, Century Financial Group temporarily recruited the flying troops of more than sixty studios. It was simply a mess. It was impossible to unify the formation in a short period of time.

The Niuren Tribe's flying troops were already close at hand. It was impossible to line up and charge. Angelic Feather gritted his teeth and shouted in the group chat, "As I said just now, today, anyone who kills a Niuren Tribe flying mount will be rewarded according to the rank of the killed flying mount. I, Angelic Feather, will keep my word. Brothers, full army advance, kill!"

Receiving Angelic Feather's order, thirty or forty thousand flying mounts also rushed towards the Niuren Tribe like a torrent.

In an instant, the world was filled with the sounds of weapons clashing.
