Chapter 1 A Meathook Grinder

The two flying forces were like a massive meathook grinder, raining down blood.

Both Angel Corps and the Mad Rogue Tribe were seeing red, locked in a battle to the death.

Inside the City of Sin, many factions began snatching up magic crystals. In such a massive aerial battle, countless corpses fell. Every flying mount corpse contained a magic crystal that everyone coveted. It would be strange if it didn’t spark conflict.

This battle was destined to become the focus of everyone's attention.

"Nirvana Flame, we've lost over three hundred flying mounts!" Knight's Elegy said anxiously in the team chat. They had only brought a little over a thousand flying mounts in total, and in just a short while, they had lost nearly three hundred.

"Angel Corps isn't doing much better. They've lost at least five hundred flying mounts!" Brilliant Knife Light said. In terms of losses, Angel Corps wasn't losing any less than the Mad Rogue Tribe. However, Angel Corps had a certain advantage in terms of the number of flying mounts, making it difficult to predict the course of the battle.

The sky was in chaos. Nie Yan summoned his Ghost Dragon as well, manipulating Darkwing and Ghost Dragon to constantly tear apart the nearby flying mounts. He searched for the Angel of Pride's trail, almost catching the Silverwing Dragon several times, but it was always able to escape under the cover of Angel Corps' flying mounts.

The battle entered a fever pitch. Then a cry of surprise rang out in the team chat.

"Look east!"

"It's the reinforcements from Fallen Angel! They're here!"

Hearing the shout in the team chat, Nie Yan looked to the east. He saw a large group of flying mounts moving towards them like a giant dark cloud. He smiled slightly. Fallen Angel had finally arrived! Judging from the scene, there were at least three to four thousand flying mounts!

Piles of white bones, all Undead-type flying mounts, were a magnificent sight!

The leader rode on the back of a giant Blood Dragon, an Rank 8 Blood Dragon. This person was none other than Arrogant Warblade, whom Nie Yan had met a few times. Duoduo himself didn’t come; he still had to oversee things in the underground.

Fallen Angel was the overlord of the Undead Cemetery. They had been operating in the Undead Empire for a long time, their position was stable, and their strength was extraordinary!

The appearance of Fallen Angel caused a commotion among the players in the City of Sin.

"It's the Undead Empire's army!"

"It seems to be Fallen Angel. What's going on? Could it be that the Undead Empire is going to attack the Light Faction?"

Many players who didn't know the situation thought that Fallen Angel was going to take advantage of the battle between Angel Corps and the Mad Rogue Tribe. Only a small number of players who knew about the cooperative relationship between Fallen Angel and the Mad Rogue Tribe knew that Fallen Angel wasn't there to take advantage of the situation, but rather as reinforcements for the Mad Rogue Tribe.

A full three to four thousand flying mounts, of which over two thousand were Rank 6 or higher, was a force powerful enough to turn the tide of battle!

The appearance of Fallen Angel caused some chaos in Angel Corps' forces. All Angel Corps players knew that Fallen Angel was their enemy. Once such a force entered the battle to help the Mad Rogue Tribe, it would be a devastating blow to Angel Corps!

"Angel, Fallen Angel's flying forces are encircling us!"

"They have so many flying mounts!"

"Angel, the Rank 9 Darkwing Dragon's attacks are too fierce! We can't hold on!"

Hearing the anxious shouts below, the Angel of Pride roared in a deep voice in the team chat, "Retreat two thousand yards, adjust the formation, and prepare for the second wave of attacks. The Century Financial Group's forces and the Gods of Twilight's forces are on their way and will be here soon. We are not alone!"

Receiving the Angel of Pride's orders, Angel Corps' flying forces quickly retreated and adjusted their formation in the air. The two forces were like two dragons coiling and merging together in the sky. Although they retreated, they had both offense and defense, not allowing the Mad Rogue Tribe to gain much advantage. Only Nie Yan's Rank 9 Darkwing Dragon was impossible to defend against, biting off a large chunk of their forces. Fifteen flying mounts were tragically killed under the claws of the Darkwing Dragon.

Nie Yan pulled out a handful of Dark-type magic crystals and stuffed them into Darkwing's mouth. While Darkwing was fighting, he didn't give up collecting magic crystals. Spider Silk frequently made moves, pulling the heads of the flying mounts torn apart by Darkwing, taking out the magic crystals, and then throwing them away, managing to collect more than a dozen magic crystals.

Darkwing was covered in blood, looking like a demon god. Wherever it went, Angel Corps' flying mounts were terrified and retreated one after another.

The Angel of Pride issued an order to avoid Darkwing as much as possible until they had a way to deal with it, and focus on taking down the other flying mounts of the Mad Rogue Tribe first. Once they cleared out the Mad Rogue Tribe's other flying mounts, they could free up their hands to deal with Darkwing without worrying about being disturbed.

"Nirvana Flame, a large number of flying mounts are coming from the north of the City of Sin, at least twenty thousand! They seem to be heading towards Fallen Angel!" Knight's Elegy said. This was the latest information they had gathered.

Hearing Knight's Elegy's words, Nie Yan frowned. How did Angel Corps gather such a large force of flying mounts? Could it be that Angel Corps had some hidden strength? No, if they had such a large force, Guo Huai would have no reason not to receive any information. "Find out exactly where these forces are from!"

A moment later, Knight's Elegy said in the team chat, "The executive president has news. That force is a joint force from the Gods of Twilight and the Century Financial Group. The Gods of Twilight's flying forces are about three thousand, and the rest are from the Century Financial Group, nearly twenty thousand flying mounts. However, there seem to be fewer than two thousand flying mounts above Rank 6. Most of them are made up of Rank 4, 5, or even Rank 2 or 3 flying mounts."

Hearing Knight's Elegy's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder the number was so terrifying. It turned out that they were using low-rank flying mounts to make up the numbers. If the twenty thousand flying mount force were all Rank 5 or higher, it would be a devastating blow to the Mad Rogue Tribe and Fallen Angel. Twenty thousand Rank 5 or higher flying mounts passing through would truly be like locusts devouring everything in their path!

"It seems they've sent all their flying mounts. It looks like they want to fight us to the death!"

Nie Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Have all the flying mounts from all the Mad Rogue Tribe's branches, the Holy Roman Empire, Holy Light Flame, Jialan Shrine, Crazy Battle Alliance, and War God Tribe gather here. I want to see if they have more flying mounts than we do! Since they want to fight to the death, we'll play along to the end!"

Hearing Nie Yan's words, everyone saw Nie Yan's determination and their blood also surged. Nirvana Flame had decided to go all out, even if it meant using up all their resources, they would defeat Angel Corps!

"Brothers, let's fight to the death and leave them without a single piece of armor!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

The Mad Rogue Tribe erupted in shouts, the sound shaking the sky.

After receiving Nie Yan's order for a decisive battle, more than thirty cities in the Greenlund Empire, more than two hundred fortresses under the Mad Rogue Tribe, and more than thirty fortresses of the Mad Rogue Tribe on the Abenasi grasslands, the Holy Roman Empire, the War God Tribe and other guilds controlled more than one hundred and thirty fortresses. Countless flying mounts took to the sky and surged towards the World Barrier. Like rivers converging, they became more and more numerous, a mighty and magnificent sight.

The Mad Rogue Tribe and its five branches only had fifteen to sixteen thousand flying mounts, because the Mad Rogue Tribe hadn't invested enough energy in flying mounts. However, the Holy Roman Empire, the War God Tribe, and other guilds were also overlords in their own right and had accumulated more than thirty thousand flying mounts, and all of these flying mounts were also dispatched.

The Mad Rogue Tribe's actions shocked the entire server. On such a large scale, it seemed that Mad Rogue Nirvana Flame really wanted to fight to the death!

Almost at the same time as the Mad Rogue Tribe and other guilds took action, Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group also began to mobilize their flying mount forces. Cao Xu even spent a lot of money to invite more than sixty large studios to send flying mount support, and the number of flying mounts reached a staggering thirty thousand, plus the twenty thousand in the sky above the City of Sin, a total of fifty thousand.

In the previous few wars, both sides were just skirmishing, the kind that was neither here nor there, but after this fight in the City of Sin started, they were a little out of control, so they completely went all out.

Nie Yan knew that this battle would be a life-and-death battle for both sides, and they absolutely could not lose. While he was tearing apart the Angel Corps' flying mounts he encountered, he was also directing the battles in various locations.

"Nie Yan, the flying mount forces of Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group have come out in full force. I didn't expect the Century Financial Group's thirty-plus guilds to have so many flying mounts. You guys be careful."

"How are the self-destructing wind dragons? How many are there now?" Nie Yan asked. The self-destructing wind dragon plan was proposed by Zi Yan and had always been Guo Huai's responsibility. Nie Yan's investment in the self-destructing wind dragon plan was as high as more than twenty million gold coins, making it one of the Mad Rogue Tribe's trump cards.

Self-destructing wind dragons weren't flying mounts, but rather alchemical products. Their method of creation came from the legendary item, Dra's Magical Device Book. As Zi Yan's alchemy level increased, she could create very advanced items, including these self-destructing wind dragons.

The self-destructing wind dragons were about the same size as ordinary Rank 5 flying mounts. The materials used included a large amount of magical camphor wood, mithril, black gold, and various gems. They flew extremely fast, much faster than Rank 6 flying mounts, and required a fire-type mage above level 120 to control. When flying, they carried five kilograms of black powder with them. When they encountered an enemy, they would lock onto the target and crash into it, directly perishing together.

Five kilograms of black powder had a considerable explosive power, and was one of Nie Yan's major trump cards!

"There are currently three hundred, and they are already on their way to the City of Sin. There are still twenty in the completion stage. I am having Zi Yan speed up the production," Guo Huai said.
