Chapter 915 - Supreme Pontiff! (1/2)
The players in the City of Sin chatted about the battle and Nie Yan’s declaration of unification.
“I’m afraid Angel Corps can’t stop Asskickers United’s advance anymore. After this battle, Asskickers United’s morale must be at an all time high.”
“It looks like Asskickers United really is going to unify the Righteous Faction. If I knew this would happen, I would’ve joined them when I had the chance,” a Warrior said enviously as he gazed at the Asskickers United players in the sky.
“Aren’t you the one who always looks down on Asskickers United?”
“That was long ago! And this now! Asskickers United will rule the entire Righteous Faction. I’d be a stubborn idiot to refuse to acknowledge that.”
Those who still doubted Asskickers United’s chances of victory quickly changed their tunes. Many opportunity seekers would naturally latch onto the success of the guild. However, it was already too late for them to join. Even if they did, they would be nobodies.
This battle placed Asskickers United at the peak of glory.
News of the victory in the City of Sin quickly reached the ears of the other players from Asskickers United. Millions of guild members erupted into cheers as their morale soared. They rode the momentum from this victory to intensify their assault. Within the span of half an hour, they captured five enemy strongholds.
「Let’s head back,」Nie Yan said.
The 25,000 flying mounts set off back toward Okoron.
Guo Huai messaged Nie Yan, chuckling.「Nie Yan, Fallen Angel just sent word congratulating us on defeating Angel Corps.」
「I’m sure they’re just as happy about Angel Corps’ defeat as we are,」Nie Yan said. Angel Corps was Fallen Angel’s sworn enemy. With Soaring Angel suffering a crushing defeat, the person celebrating the most was Plenty.
「I’m afraid they won’t have much time to celebrate. Apparently, Fallen Angel and Pantheon have also entered an all-out war. Fallen Angel somehow got their hands on some brand new war machines. Last I heard, they already steamrolled through 21 of Pantheon's strongholds.」
「Oh? Really?」Nie Yan remarked in surprise.
「With those two fighting it out, we at least won’t have to worry about Pantheon trying to find trouble with us,」Guo Huai said. After this last battle, he had designated Pantheon as enemies.
「Fallen Angel have their own plans. If we unify the Righteous Faction, even though they won’t have to worry about Angel Corps anymore, they’ll have no choice but to respond to the pressure coming from us. Taking advantage of our conflict with Angel Corps to swallow up Pantheon is probably the wisest choice,」Nie Yan said.
Guo Huai pondered for a moment,「So, Fallen Angel is next?」
「Most likely, but I can’t say for sure. Even if we do find each other on opposing sides, neither one of us can threaten the other’s main base. If it does come to that, it won’t be a war between guilds, but a war between factions. So, we should prepare, but there’s no need to be too worried,」Nie Yan analyzed.
「I see.」Guo Huai nodded.
「Gather up the top Thieves in the guild, and tell them to assemble in the special conference hall in Okoron. I need about 300.」
「What are you planning?」Guo Huai asked in surprise. If Nie Yan was gathering the top 300 Thieves in the guild, it couldn’t be something simple.「Want me to call Sun, King of the World, Mistaken Smile, and the others as well?」
「Yes, have them come too. I want our most elite members. I have an important mission for them.」
Guo Huai didn’t dare to dally. He immediately passed down the order to the top 300 Thieves in the guild to assemble in the conference hall in Okoron.
About half an hour later, Nie Yan arrived in the conference hall. The 300 Thieves were already waiting inside.
“Boss!”
“Boss!”
They greeted him enthusiastically, their faces filled with joy and excitement. They were still celebrating their victory over Angel Corps.
