“Has there been anything unusual in the eastern part of Emerald City recently?” Nie Yan asked Love Assassin.

“I heard that skeletons attacked several villages over there. I just got the news and haven’t confirmed what exactly happened,” Love Assassin said. After all, it had just happened recently, and that area was all under the control of the Sword of Divine Punishment, so he had very limited knowledge.

It seems I’ll have to make a trip myself, Nie Yan thought.

Nie Yan chatted with Love Assassin, who reported on the state of the Mad Rogue Alliance. The Mad Rogue Alliance had been quite successful, capturing sixteen fortresses. These fortresses were located in the west of Emerald City, the east of Flame City, and the north of Red Leaf City, forming a sphere of influence at the junction of the three cities. The surrounding guilds had all suffered losses at the hands of the Mad Rogue Alliance, so the Mad Rogue Alliance's position was quite solid.

Nie Yan clarified the future development direction of the Mad Rogue Alliance. They couldn’t continue to be timid and hesitant towards the Sword of Divine Punishment. For the sake of the overall strategy of Nirvana Guild, the Mad Rogue Alliance had to start fighting the Sword of Divine Punishment. Nie Yan would provide the war expenses and funds needed for the war.

With the funds provided by Nie Yan, Love Assassin had nothing to worry about. Once a fight broke out, war expenses were the most troublesome thing. Since Nie Yan was willing to reimburse them, everything was much easier.

After chatting with Love Assassin, Nie Yan said goodbye and walked out of the teahouse, disappearing at the end of the street.

Seeing Love Assassin walk over, Mad Rogue couldn't help but ask, "Can I ask who that person was?"

Love Assassin smiled and said, "He is a guy that no one will ever be able to surpass."

Mad Rogue raised an eyebrow and tentatively asked, "Crazy Thief Nie Yan?"

"There's always someone better. Crazy Thief Nie Yan's name was earned through glorious battles. From what I know about him, he is a very low-key person, sometimes even frighteningly calm. You're still too green," Love Assassin glanced at Mad Rogue and walked straight out the door.

Mad Rogue was stunned, lost in thought.

Nie Yan left Emerald City and rode his Darkwing Dragon towards the eastern part of Emerald City. According to what he learned from Love Assassin, the area near the Brocchi Fortress in the east was the most frequent area for skeletons to appear. He guessed that there was probably something fishy there.

About ten minutes later, Nie Yan saw the fortress standing in the desert in the distance.

The Sword of Divine Punishment's Brocchi Fortress!

The Darkwing Dragon was too large. In order to avoid being discovered by getting too close, Nie Yan recalled the Darkwing Dragon, jumped off its back, and fell rapidly. With a thump, he landed on the ground, arched his body, and stood firmly.

Nie Yan quickly swept forward. There was still a long distance between here and Brocchi Fortress. He slowly advanced towards it.

Passing through a dense jungle, Nie Yan discovered a desolate town. The town was now only ruins, but it was still possible to see its former prosperity. Next to the wide main road in the center stood rows of shops, now severely damaged. The air was filled with a bloody smell.

The ground was covered with solidified blood stains, shocking Nie Yan. He could imagine how tragic everything that happened here must have been.

Suddenly, from the rubble next to him, a small, thin skeleton pounced on Nie Yan. Its entire body was white bones, and a frenzied red soul fire flickered in its eye sockets. It held a long hooked scythe in its hand and slashed at Nie Yan.

It was a Level 100 skeleton, but just an ordinary monster!

It could be seen that this skeleton was once a small child.

Nie Yan dodged its attack with a dodge, and with a spinning kick, kicked the skeleton in the head, sending it flying.

It stumbled and rolled a few times on the ground, and then stood up again.

Before it could steady itself, Nie Yan hit it in the chest with a straight kick, sending it flying backwards and crashing heavily into a wall.

With a muffled thud, the skeleton was bounced to the ground, rolling around in place, but it still didn't die.

This guy actually had more than 50,000 health. Among Level 100 creatures, it was considered relatively difficult to deal with. One could imagine how terrifying it would be if an army of skeletons like this gathered together and attacked villages, towns, and fortresses like a tide in his previous life.

After attacking five times in a row, the skeleton finally fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Just as Nie Yan was about to leave, he noticed that a team of a hundred or so skeletons had gathered outside the town, and they were entering the town one after another.

Nie Yan flipped over and jumped onto the roof of a small house, avoiding the sight of these skeletons, and hid behind a wall.

These skeletons wandered around the village, seemingly searching for something. Finding nothing, they left in groups.

Confirming that these skeletons were the Level 100 skeletons resurrected from the Undead Revenge in his previous life, Nie Yan finally confirmed that the Undead Revenge expansion was indeed about to begin. He was wondering if he should tell the Council of Elders of the Greenland Empire about this news. Although this wasn't something he had predicted with the Great Prophecy Spell, at least he knew what was about to happen. If he successfully predicted this event, then he would leap from Great Scholar to Great Prophet, equivalent to the status and treatment of an Elder of the Council of Elders. Among the players, that would be the supreme level.

Nie Yan had always been full of expectations for the Great Prophet. The position of Great Scholar was already considered very remarkable in the entire Greenland Empire, while the level of Great Prophet was even more unattainable in the eyes of ordinary players.

This Undead Revenge event gave him a glimmer of hope. The Great Prophet seemed to be right in front of him, within reach.

It was best to have conclusive information and evidence, so that when he presented it to the Elders of the Greenland Empire, he would have enough confidence.

These skeletons walked towards the fortress in the distance. Their formation was very neat, not at all like ordinary mindless skeletons.

These skeletons should be controlled by players.

Brocchi Fortress had always been under the control of the Sword of Divine Punishment, and there had been no news of it being controlled by the undead, but these skeletons were freely active near Brocchi Fortress. This phenomenon was thought-provoking.

Could it be...? An idea flashed through Nie Yan's mind, and his heart sank. If his guess was correct, then Nirvana Guild would be in trouble. If that necromancer Bodman was resurrected by someone from the Sword of Divine Punishment, then once the Undead Revenge expansion was launched, Nirvana Guild would bear the brunt of it.

He had to make a trip to Brocchi Fortress to find out what was going on!
