Chapter 459 The Dust Settles

Bright Sacred Flame and Triumph Empire were locked in a chaotic battle; these former allies had ultimately parted ways.

Po Tian had originally envisioned leading the Triumph Empire's troops away from the main battlefield to conserve their strength. Once the Crypt Lord's summoning time expired, the battle outside Cripps Fortress would likely be winding down. Even though the hundreds of thousands of players from Warblade Bloodthirst, Mage Alliance, and Sacred Guardian had been annihilated, Bullsh*t Tribe, Caron Temple, and Holy Roman Empire would also have suffered significant losses, leaving them with perhaps only fifty or sixty thousand players. Among them, Bullsh*t Tribe would have around twenty thousand, while Caron Temple and Holy Roman Empire would have about thirty thousand. Moreover, the remaining players would be of varying quality, making it difficult for them to pose much of a threat.

Then, he would join forces with Bright Sacred Flame. The two guilds, with nearly one hundred thousand players, could return and wipe out Bullsh*t Tribe, Caron Temple, and Holy Roman Empire, seize Cripps Fortress, and divide the remaining fortresses with Bright Sacred Flame. The Triumph Empire could then rebuild its glory!

The ideal was beautiful, but reality was cruel.

At this crucial moment, Bright Sacred Flame had unexpectedly turned against them, catching him completely off guard. It turned out that Bullsh*t Tribe had already acquired Bright Sacred Flame. The situation had deviated too far from his expectations. Defeated just like that, Po Tian felt deeply unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

The Triumph Empire began fighting Bright Sacred Flame, and the chaotic battle would continue for some time. However, the battle outside Cripps Fortress was already in its final stages.

Nie Yan, leading the Crypt Lord, was engaged in a massive slaughter. The remaining troops of Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardian were simply no match.

Nie Yan glanced at the time. The Crypt Lord's summoning time had already used up two hours, leaving thirty-six minutes. After clearing the battlefield here, he wouldn't be able to assist Bright Sacred Flame. However, the remaining players from Bullsh*t Tribe, Caron Temple, and Holy Roman Empire would soon be free to join the fight. Together, they could eliminate the Triumph Empire. The Triumph Empire was doomed to defeat!

Victory was assured!

Nie Yan briefly assessed the losses. In the frontal battle between Warblade Bloodthirst and Bullsh*t Tribe, Warblade Bloodthirst had been completely wiped out. Bullsh*t Tribe, due to the three Ironclad Catapults, had lost nearly eighty thousand players, including fifty thousand from Bullsh*t Tribe itself and thirty thousand elites from the five branch guilds. Of the one hundred thousand defending the city, only about twenty thousand remained.

Caron Temple and Holy Roman Empire, facing off against Mage Alliance, Sacred Guardian, and Triumph Empire, had also suffered extremely heavy losses. Of the hundreds of thousands of troops that had arrived, only thirty or forty thousand remained. However, with the Crypt Lord's assistance, they had finally defeated Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardian. Only a few thousand players from Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardian were fleeing towards nearby maps.

Once the great battle between Bright Sacred Flame and Triumph Empire ended, the entire battle for Cripps Fortress would finally be settled.

Nie Yan had already dispatched two or three thousand Thieves to begin cleaning up the battlefield.

After such a massive war, the amount of equipment harvested was considerable, which could somewhat compensate for the losses incurred during the war.

After this war, Bullsh*t Tribe needed to recuperate. If another battle of this scale were to occur, Bullsh*t Tribe, even if not defeated, would be dragged down. The average level of Bullsh*t Tribe was already too low.

Nie Yan directed the Crypt Lord to continue pursuing the fleeing players from Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardian, continuing to expand their victory.

The remaining players from Bullsh*t Tribe on the battlefield began to organize themselves to assist Bright Sacred Flame and prepare to attack the Triumph Empire.

The players of Bullsh*t Tribe were very surprised to learn that Bright Sacred Flame had suddenly turned to their side. Many of them had had some conflicts with Bright Sacred Flame not long ago. How had Bright Sacred Flame suddenly become their ally? However, their morale was greatly boosted. Bright Sacred Flame's defection had suddenly secured Bullsh*t Tribe's victory. It turned out that Nie Yan had planned this long ago. Victory belonged to Bullsh*t Tribe!

Under the pincer attack, the Triumph Empire quickly descended into a massive rout. Bright Sacred Flame's defection had brought their morale to an all-time low. They were, after all, their former allies, who had ultimately stood on the opposite side.

After the defeat of Warblade Bloodthirst, Mage Alliance, and Sacred Guardian, they were surrounded in Carol City. Even if they won, what then? Would Carol City still have a place for them?

Thus, everyone in the Triumph Empire lost the will to fight.

The battle of Cripps Fortress ultimately ended with the destruction of the Triumph Empire.

The Triumph Empire's two fortresses were also captured one after another, becoming part of Bullsh*t Tribe.

The entire Carol City was now virtually the domain of Bullsh*t Tribe!

Twenty or thirty minutes later, the Crypt Lord's summoning time finally ended. Bennett's soul slowly rose from the Crypt Lord's massive body and returned to Nie Yan's bag.

Without the support of the soul, the Crypt Lord's body was like a stone statue, rapidly losing its vitality, slowly cracking, and finally collapsing into rubble. It had fulfilled its purpose.

The battle for Cripps Fortress was over.

The Priests on the battlefield could finally resurrect Shui Se Yan Tou and the others who had been killed. Some teams didn't have Priests who knew resurrection spells, so they could only resurrect at the graveyard, which would result in a greater level loss.

Nie Yan was depressed to discover that players who died in fortress battles would generally lose about five levels. This was a setting made by the main brain to prevent a guild from quickly recovering after a fortress battle. This penalty was harsh!

However, the level-loss penalty for fortress battles was mutual. The people who died from Warblade Bloodthirst and the other guilds would also lose five levels.

After a while, Nie Yan received news that Warblade Bloodthirst had disbanded. Some of Warblade Bloodthirst's elites had joined Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardian. As for the ordinary players of Warblade Bloodthirst, they would not be able to go along. Of course, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Everyone went their separate ways.

As for the Blackrock Fortress that had been taken down by Warblade Bloodthirst, with the disbandment of Warblade Bloodthirst, it was naturally reclaimed by Nie Yan.

War is always a mix of gains and penalties. Although Bullsh*t Tribe suffered heavy losses in this war, it gained two fortresses and consolidated its position in Carol City. The war dividend was quite substantial. In the future, Bullsh*t Tribe would no longer face a threat in Carol City. It stood at the same starting point as Angel Corps. Bullsh*t Tribe controlled Carol City, the capital of the Greenland Empire, while Angel Corps controlled Orc King City, the capital of the Saturn Empire.

Although the strength of Bullsh*t Tribe was still far behind that of Angel Corps, its future was bright!

Nie Yan and Guo Huai and others began to calculate the battle losses of Bullsh*t Tribe. As for the equipment that had been collected, it was all placed in the Bullsh*t Tribe guild warehouse. After counting, there were as many as two hundred fifty to sixty thousand pieces. Since Caron Temple, Holy Roman Empire, and Bright Sacred Flame had joined Bullsh*t Tribe, they shared the Bullsh*t Tribe's guild warehouse. Of course, the guild contribution points would be issued by Bullsh*t Tribe.

Nie Yan and Guo Huai and others gave the players below, especially those who had lost five levels after being killed, a lot of compensation. The higher their kill count, the more generous the reward. Among them, the one who received the most rewards was Xiao Qi, who used a magic spell to destroy an Ironclad Catapult of Warblade Bloodthirst.

After issuing the rewards, Bullsh*t Tribe spent a total of nearly six hundred thousand gold coins and a large number of guild contribution points. If Nie Yan hadn't returned from the underground, he wouldn't have been able to raise so much money.

However, after unifying Carol City, all the fortresses in Carol City were now in the bag of Bullsh*t Tribe. These six hundred thousand gold coins would soon be earned back.

The next task of Bullsh*t Tribe was to rectify the entire Carol City, clean up all the hostile forces of Bullsh*t Tribe, develop all the remaining fortresses, and then let the players of Bullsh*t Tribe improve their levels as soon as possible, so as not to be left behind by Angel Corps.

There were many things that the guild needed to arrange. The entire guild was operated by the management team. Nie Yan only needed to issue one or two instructions occasionally. It didn't require him to spend too much energy. What he had to do next was to use his more than ten years of game experience to make Bullsh*t Tribe stronger.

Now that Carol City had become a solid piece of iron, even if Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardian wanted to make trouble, they were probably powerless. Not to mention Angel Corps, which was so far away. They could only send some elites to harass them. Before the sky cavalry was opened, they could not threaten Bullsh*t Tribe.

According to his experience in his previous life, the sky cavalry would not appear until nearly a year and a half after the Sealed History was opened. This period of time was very long and crucial to Bullsh*t Tribe. If Bullsh*t Tribe still couldn't reach the level of Angel Corps in this year and a half, it would be troublesome after the sky cavalry was opened. This period of time in the future would be a relatively peaceful and comfortable period for Bullsh*t Tribe.

Since the opening of the game, Nie Yan had relied on his game experience from his previous life to obtain a powerful set of equipment, done quests to obtain the Crypt Lord, and led Bullsh*t Tribe to unify Carol City. However, even if Nie Yan was strong in the future, he would not be able to defy the heavens. It was already very good to be able to do what he had done now. After level 100, it would be an era of countless top professional players dancing together, Shadow Dancers, Grand Magisters, Holy Swordsmen, Divine Priests, Divine Warriors…

Countless top professional players would dominate this era.

Each of them was a stunning genius. With the advantages he had built up in the early stage, it would be very good if Nie Yan could rank in the top ten. It would be very difficult to imagine being as unique as he was now. Personal strength was ultimately limited. Only by making all the brothers of Bullsh*t Tribe stronger!

Bullsh*t Tribe had gathered so many elites. Nie Yan wanted to use his ten years of game experience to influence them. In the next year and a half, he wanted to make Bullsh*t Tribe shine brightly!

He wanted to transform from a top-tier player into a true guild leader, to become a leader!
