Chapter 856 - Rescuing War God Kelo (1/2)

“Nie Yan, what do we do about Half-Demon Angud? He isn’t just going to sit still because we’re fighting Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group,” Bladelight asked, concerned that Nie Yan had forgotten something that definitely could not be ignored.

“Why haven’t the Righteous Faction NPCs taken any action yet? Logically speaking, they should be infuriated with an existence like Angud rampaging around on the surface,” Smoke Stub remarked.

“As long as he’s only targeting our players and not attacking any NPC settlements, the Righteous Faction won’t come out,” Nie Yan explained. These were the system’s rules.

“Then what do we do?”

“Easy. We kill Angud first before declaring war on Angel Corps!” Nie Yan replied, his eyes flashing with an icy cold killing intent.

“How though? Tell us.”

“Boss, we’ll listen to you!”

“I want all of you guys to mobilize half your forces. I’ll give each of you a mission. Sleepy Fox, your goal is the City of Fog. I won’t be able to lend any reinforcements to support you. So, be careful,” Nie Yan said.

“Understood! Leave it to me. We’ll take the City of Fog down!” Sleepy Fox said in high spirits.

Nie Yan continued on with this plan for the guilds in the alliance, “Nightbreak, you and your Radiant Sacred Flame will hit the City of Black Magic in the territory of the taurens.

“Battle Crazed Alliance, you’ll be supporting Radiant Sacred Flame.

“War God Tribe and Sapphire Shrine, your goal is going to be the Forest City in the elven territory.

“Remember this, all of you, if you encounter Angel Corps’ forces, do not engage under any circumstances and withdraw immediately. I’ll have Guo Huai support you with the latest intel.”

“Understood!” Kill Love, Fa Lan, and the others nodded.

“Now for the branch guilds: Mages United, Priests United, Warriors United, Paladins United, and Thieves United. The five of you will be in charge of attacking the six cities under the Century Financial Group’s control.

“All of Asskickers United’s troops will remain on standby and await my commands. Our target is Angel Corps’ territory.

“The other half of our forces will be in charge of defending Okoron against any countertacks by the enemy!” Nie Yan said.

“You’re only bringing our core force? Will they be enough?” Guo Huai asked worriedly.

“Yes. It’s enough,” Nie Yan said confidently.

For the sake of consolidating their rule in the Viridian Empire, Asskickers United had no choice but to rapidly expand, causing their membership to grow to over 500,000. Naturally, there were both good and bad people mixed in. Nie Yan’s true force numbered around only 100,000. They were Asskickers United’s core, having followed him through thick and thin. More importantly, their gear was a cut above the rest. Most of them were wearing twinked gear. Their average level was also around Level 130. They were true elites, any one of them could take on multiple players from other guilds.

His core of 100,000 players was enough. Increased numbers didn’t always translate to increased strength, considering the difficulty in coordinating them and issuing battle commands.

“Charging into Angel Corps’ territory with only a hundred thousand. Damn, as expected of the Mad Rogue.” Sleepy Fox clicked his tongue in admiration.

“Don’t look down on these 100,000 players. Through the course of this year, Nirvana Flame has probably invested at least a billion gold into them, and that’s not even counting all the potions, scrolls, and other consumables we provide them,” Guo Huai chimed in. Nie Yan had put in a lot of blood and sweat into nurturing these players.

“My god! A hundred thousand players and a billion gold?” Everyone was dumbstruck. In other words, that meant Nie Yan had spent at least 10,000 gold on every player.

Normally, 10,000 gold was more than enough to purchase a decent piece of Sub Legendary-grade equipment or a high quality set of Dark Gold-grade equipment!

If Guo Huai’s words were to believed, the battle prowess of the hundred thousand could not be underestimated!

Apart from his core force, Nie Yan still had many tricks up his sleeve. If Soaring Angel would vomit blood if he knew what was coming for him.

Everyone erupted with excitement. It was the dawn of war against Angel Corps! The decisive battle to determine the ruler of the Righteous Faction!

The guild chat flooded with messages discussing the eve of war. The alliance was mobilizing! They could sense the storm brewing in the air.

…

Angel Corps guild headquarters, Soaring Angel received a report from a subordinate.

“Boss, we just received word that Asskickers United is preparing to declare war!”

“Pay close attention to their movements. If there’s any information, report it immediately!” Soaring Angel roared out.

“Yes sir!” The subordinate retreated.

Soaring Angel slumped back into his throne with a brooding expression on his face. Even though he knew this day would arrive eventually, now that it had, he couldn’t describe his current emotions, be it anxiousness and fear or excitement and desire to do battle. This was the life-or-death battle for Angel Corps! If they were defeated, then all his effort up until now would go up in smoke!

War was unavoidable!

Soaring Angel clenched his fists so hard the veins on his arms bulged out. He coldly chuckled, a sinister expression on his face. “Nirvana Flame, if you’ve got the guts, come. You’ve kept me waiting long enough!” He felt confident. The final showdown was finally here, and he’d come prepared.
