Chapter 1 Saturn Empire Players

This was the first time the players of Greenland had come into contact with the players of the Saturn Empire. Their peculiar appearance made everyone turn their heads.

The tallest among them was a robust figure clad in metal armor, wielding a heavy shield in his left hand and a greatsword in his right. His skin was cyan, and a metal horned helmet covered his head, revealing only a face that looked extremely ferocious.

He was an Orc warrior!

Orcs were the most suitable race for warriors. Their racial talent was strength, making them ideal for the warrior class.

Many outstanding warriors were born among the Orcs.

Beside the Orc warrior stood a slender player wielding two daggers, clad in leather armor. A pair of pointed ears revealed his identity: an Elf rogue! Elves possessed the talent of concealment, making them perfect for stealth rogues.

There were three other players. One was slightly overweight, wearing a cloth robe. The robe was of a peculiar design, a simple, grayish-white hue, adorned with ancient runes. His class was a Shaman Witch Doctor! A chilling profession to many, they commanded healing magic and manipulated various elements of nature. He had an honest appearance, easily disarming others, 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.

The five of them walking together were hard to miss. They were all high level, the lowest being level 51, and the highest, the Elf mage, was already level 55.

"Is this Karol City? It doesn't seem as prosperous as our Orc Royal City," the Orc warrior said, looking around with a hint of disdain.

The plump Shaman Witch Doctor watched the players passing by. "The Greenland Empire's map layout is different from our Orc Royal City. The Orc Royal City is well-connected, with many level 30-40 and 50-60 maps surrounding it. This is the most prosperous time for the Orc Royal City. Karol City's population is diverted to the hundreds of small towns nearby, so it naturally doesn't seem as prosperous as the Orc Royal City. However, Karol City's population base is twenty percent larger than our Orc Royal City." The plump Shaman Witch Doctor was quite knowledgeable.

The plump Shaman Witch Doctor's explanation enlightened the others. Although they were all a bit arrogant, they were respectful towards him. Among the five, the plump Shaman Witch Doctor was the leader.

"Fei Mao, I heard you have a classmate in the Triumph Empire. Why don't you ask him to come and show us around? We can give him some money," the plump Shaman Witch Doctor said. They were newcomers and unfamiliar with Karol City, clueless about where to go.

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

"Qing An, when will our Angel Corps Elite Knights expand recruitment?" the Orc warrior beside him asked casually, glancing around while making small talk.

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

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

He came to Karol City for a task, but the Niuren Tribe (lit. Cow Herding Tribe) was a potential rival to the Angel Corps. It would be great to gather some intelligence 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, it's your own fault for not being ambitious. Instead of thinking about expanding recruitment, you should improve yourself and try to get into the top fifty," Qing An said. He held considerable power within the Angel Corps.

The Orc warrior was the weakest among them. The others were slightly better, ranking at least in the top hundred of the Angel Corps. Qing An himself ranked seventh. Despite being only seventh in strength, his influence was second only to Ang Yi Tian Shi (lit. Soaring Winged Angel). He had a vast network of connections, and without him, the Angel Corps would not have achieved its current glory.

"Those freaks in the top fifty, I won't even talk about them. A bunch of animals," the Orc warrior said glumly. Breaking into the top fifty was incredibly difficult! He had been a core member of the Angel Corps, ranking in the top fifty, when they dominated other virtual games. However, after entering Faith, the Angel Corps seized excellent development opportunities, initially controlling a large amount of virtual assets in the Orc Royal City. They then received investment from two large fund companies and later gained favor with the Century Consortium. Their popularity skyrocketed, and a large number of new players joined every day. Other guilds in the Orc Royal City were undoubtedly destroyed, and the Angel Corps reigned supreme. He had gradually been squeezed out of the top fifty. As a veteran member, he could often join Qing An and others in various dungeons, 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, and Angel and I have seen your dedication through thick and thin. As long as the Angel Corps exists, we won't treat you unfairly. But you need to be ambitious. We veteran members must not lose to those newcomers. The Angel Corps is developing. In the future, we will conquer the entire Saturn and even come to Greenland. You must keep up! Don't fall behind."

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

Qing An and the others strolled through the Starry Sky Pharmacy and visited several auction houses in Karol City, talking to several NPCs, methodically carrying out his task. Meanwhile, information related to the Niuren Tribe (lit. Cow Herding Tribe) fell into his ears.

Krypsis Fortress. The arrival of the Niuren Tribe (lit. Cow Herding Tribe) broke the peace.

The streets were filled with Niuren Tribe (lit. Cow Herding Tribe) players, continuously cleansing the Phantom Warriors and advancing in all directions.

Nie Yan led over five hundred players, advancing along the main street towards the center of Krypsis Fortress. Today, he finally understood the power of teamwork!

When they encountered elites on the street, Nie Yan only needed to issue an order, and a dense rain of magic would streak across the sky, landing on the Phantom Warriors, sending them flying without a chance! Although occasional accidents happened, with some Phantom Warriors charging into the backline mages and slaughtering them, they were quickly cleaned up.

With the priests having learned basic resurrection, losses were relatively small. At most, the fallen members lost some experience.

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

Dark Mammoth: Level 50 Lord, Health 230000/230000.

This mammoth was three or four yards tall, a massive beast. Facing a level 50 Lord head-on was difficult. This was a plaza, with no terrain to exploit, so the shield warriors had to stand in front and face it head-on. There were also over sixty Phantom Warriors around the mammoth. Before dealing with the Dark Mammoth, they had to take care of the Phantom Warriors first.

Nie Yan immediately began directing the battle.

"Dao Guang, Leng Ao Ying, Yi Yan, flank from the right. On my command, charge straight for the mammoth. Qi Zai, Hua Sha, Ti Tang, each of you cover one, and make sure to keep their health stable!" Nie Yan observed the distribution of the Phantom Warriors and immediately issued orders.

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

Charging directly at the mammoth while surrounded by over sixty Phantom Warriors was a risky move. If the three shield warriors were surrounded, even the most 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 (lit. Desire Stains Youth) said, checking his skill bar. Today was the first time he had seen Nie Yan in person, having only watched Nie Yan's videos before. He was a little excited.

Nie Yan glanced at this newcomer, Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun (lit. Desire Stains Youth), who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. It was surprising that someone so young could become a top player in the Niuren Tribe (lit. Cow Herding Tribe). It seemed that only Sun was younger than him in the entire Niuren Tribe (lit. Cow Herding Tribe).

"I also have Frost Rain," Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan (lit. Unkillable Bad Egg) said. Although its attack was pitifully low, its excellent slowing effect made it popular among 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, Da Tou Ge Qi Zai (lit. Big Brother Qi Zai) smiled slightly. He understood.

Nie Yan laid out the steps of the plan, placing the players with area-of-effect magic in areas with a wider field of vision.

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

Cui Can Dao Guang (lit. Brilliant Saber Light) smiled, already understanding what to do.

These team members were all exceptionally skilled players. Once they were given instructions, they immediately grasped Nie Yan's plan and offered their own insights and opinions. As for coordination, these people often ran dungeons and grouped up to grind, so there was no problem with that.

"Alright, let's begin," Nie Yan said to the team members.

The players quickly moved into action, tensely moving to their designated positions. Cui Can Dao Guang (lit. Brilliant Saber Light), Leng Ao Ying (lit. Cold Arrogant Shadow), and the others drank several bottles of invisibility potions and slowly circled around the edge of the plaza.

Seeing them leave, Nie Yan adjusted the team and surveyed the surroundings. On the high ground on all sides stood mages with area-of-effect magic, all ready.
