Chapter 1 The Brogie Fortress of Zhushen's Sword

The Brogie Fortress of Zhushen's Sword was located on the edge of the Emerald City. It was a dilapidated place, surrounded by endless deserts. Few players usually came here, leaving the fortress standing there all alone.

Only a few scattered players wandered the streets of the fortress.

Several hours ago, Zhushen's Sword had completely sealed off the fortress, not allowing any players other than those from Zhushen's Sword to enter. Anyone who wanted to enter the Brogie Fortress had to undergo strict screening.

In the conference hall of the guild headquarters in the center of the fortress, a group of hundreds of players were trembling as they looked at Qin Han and the men in black beside him at the front of the hall.

They had all come here after receiving orders from Shenjian Wushuang, the leader of Zhushen's Sword. They were all loyal to Zhushen's Sword and obeyed Shenjian Wushuang. They took the salary of Zhushen's Sword, and they would carry out his orders without hesitation.

Qin Han glanced at the people below, his eyes filled with a coldness devoid of any emotion.

Shenjian Wushuang looked at Qin Han next to him and asked, "Leader Qin Han, there are a total of five hundred people here, all Zhushen's Sword's deathsworn."

For some reason, Shenjian Wushuang always felt a sense of fear when he looked at Qin Han. The coldness in Qin Han's eyes was frightening. After spending some time together, Shenjian Wushuang gradually understood Qin Han's character. Although Qin Han usually seemed gentle and refined, he could immediately become a murderous demon without hesitation when he needed to.

It was said that the Monet Consortium was a powerful force in South America, and their competitors had basically been eliminated by various means. Qin Han's hands must have been stained with a lot of blood.

It was out of this fear that Shenjian Wushuang dared not disobey Qin Han even more. If he angered Qin Han, he could imagine what his end would be like.

"Alright, let's begin!" Qin Han said indifferently.

As soon as Qin Han finished speaking, the guy in the black cloak beside Qin Han let out a burst of eerie laughter, his voice sharp and piercing, making people shudder and feel uncomfortable all over.

The players below could not see the guy's face, as it was hidden under the cloak. The only thing they could see was his right hand, which was completely a pile of white bones, covered with some rotten flesh. He held a black bone staff in his hand, with a small skull at the top, burning with red flames.

With a wave of his staff, bone spurs as high as two or three yards suddenly grew from the places where the players were standing, instantly piercing all of their bodies. They were suspended in mid-air, and the players let out shrill screams. Blood splattered everywhere, and the entire hall was like a scene from Senluo Hell.

Shenjian Wushuang's face changed when he saw this scene, and his heart felt a chill. When he looked at Qin Han, he found that Qin Han's face was as usual, as if all of this was just commonplace to him.

"A terrifying guy!" Shenjian Wushuang silently retracted his gaze.

The corpses of the five hundred players were pierced by white bone spurs and suspended in the air, and streams of crimson blood flowed down the bone spurs.

Immediately afterwards, each player's corpse underwent a transformation. One after another, skeletons stood up from the corpses of these players. These skeletons were snow-white, holding various weapons, including staffs, axes, and greatswords. Their classes were also different. They were all level 100 monsters, and among the five hundred skeletons, one was a level 100 elite.

Over the next period of time, batches of players from Zhushen's Sword, the Guang'an Empire, and various other guilds were sent to the Brogie Fortress. They were all killed and turned into skeletons.

If a player turned into a skeleton, they would only have a chance to resurrect after the skeleton was killed. Otherwise, they would remain in a skeleton state, bound by the necromancer, until death. Generally, players would drop two to five levels and be weakened for a long time after being turned into skeletons and resurrected. Under normal circumstances, players would not be willing to do such a thing, but with Qin Han's financial resources and power, most people had no choice but to obey Qin Han's orders.

More and more skeletons gathered in the Brogie Fortress. Gradually, the number reached as many as thirty thousand. Their range of activity was no longer limited to the Brogie Fortress, and they began to expand to the surrounding areas.

Under Qin Han's command, these skeletons captured three NPC villages, turning the NPCs inside into skeletons as well.

The skeleton army grew larger and larger. Because Qin Han was very cautious, the news had not spread yet. Many players knew that there were skeletons active near the Brogie Fortress, but they thought it was just a normal monster spawn and would never have imagined that all of this was done by players. Some players who ran slowly were killed by the skeletons and became members of the skeleton army. After becoming skeletons, they were ignorant and didn't know what was happening in the game.

Everything was very calm, and there were no signs of any imagined disaster coming.

Nie Yan had Guo Huai pay close attention to the movements in various places, especially undead creatures. If any abnormal situation occurred, they should report it immediately.

The next day, the catapults of the Niu Ren Tribe continued to bombard the various fortresses of Korte City. More and more guilds surrendered to the Niu Ren Tribe, and the remaining guilds were unable to turn the tide. They could only struggle to their death. Many guilds received a death order issued by Qin Han, stating that they had to fight to the end even if only one person was left. They had no choice but to join the battle. However, their strength was not at the same level as the Niu Ren Tribe at all. All of their fortresses were turned into rubble by the catapults' crazy bombardment.

Korte City was reduced to ruins, and more than a dozen guilds took their people to the Emerald City to seek refuge with Zhushen's Sword.

The Niu Ren Tribe built fortresses on the basis of Korte City. At this point, Nisode City, Korte City, and Carol City were connected together. Nie Yan built a very perfect defense on this land. There were many vacant fortresses in Korte City that could have been given to the War God Tribe and the Long Yue Financial Group for development, but Nie Yan realized that there might be some unsafe factors in the future, so he did not give these fortresses to the Long Yue Financial Group and the Tianxia Group to develop credit point commercial districts.

After taking Korte City without any suspense, the Niu Ren Tribe entered a new round of rest and reorganization, first consolidating the current results.

The Monet Consortium had not made any counterattacks, which always made Nie Yan feel uneasy.

What excited Nie Yan was that after such a long time, and after using a large number of rare metal raw materials, he finally completed the transformation of the Headless Horseman Doro's Horseback Crossbow. A brand new horseback crossbow appeared before his eyes.
