Chapter 1577 Zero Wing's Actions

Dark Night Empire, Dark Night City.

At the top of the War Soul's Fallen guild residence, a group of War Soul's Fallen executives sat upright, a heavy silence filling the conference room.

The battle at Buried Bone Fortress had severely damaged War Soul's Fallen's main force, leaving them unable to compete with Star Ring for the Ancient Undead Kingdom. The situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable, prompting this emergency meeting to discuss their next steps.

"The Red Emperor Guild has ceased its operations in the Ancient Undead Kingdom for some time now. The Red Emperor won't even meet the people we sent to negotiate. It seems we can no longer rely on their assistance," Mu Lingsha said helplessly.

Previously, Star Ring had gained a significant advantage by occupying the fortress in the Ancient Undead Kingdom. However, through secret cooperation with the Red Emperor and the Stamina Gems provided by Zero Wing, they were barely able to contend with Star Ring within the Ancient Undead Kingdom.

Now, not only had their strength been greatly reduced, but even the Red Emperor had withdrawn, making it completely impossible for them to compete with Star Ring for the Ancient Undead Kingdom.

The resources of the Ancient Undead Kingdom were incomparable to other neutral maps. If Star Ring completely occupied it, the consequences were unimaginable. War Soul's Fallen would definitely lose its foothold in the Dark Night Empire.

"Then our only hope lies in the Stamina Gems and Stamina Potions provided by Zero Wing. If we have a large supply of them, we might still be able to compete. After all, the Ancient Undead Kingdom consumes more stamina than other neutral maps, and currently only expert players can survive there, so the number of players is still small, preventing it from forming a large scale," Bu Mie Zhanxin said after some thought.

Although the Ancient Undead Kingdom was a tempting prize, ordinary players couldn't survive there due to the environment and level requirements, easily getting killed by the monsters within. Only expert players could thrive, and while War Soul's Fallen had suffered significant losses, its elites hadn't been damaged much.

As long as they had a guarantee of stamina, they wouldn't have to worry about obtaining resources.

"Zero Wing has already provided all the Stamina Gems and Stamina Potions they could spare in order to restrain Star Ring in the Dark Night Empire. It's unlikely they can provide more..." Mu Lingsha shook her head, not optimistic about the prospect.

"Bu Mie, you've really fallen. Zero Wing is just a small guild occupying a kingdom. At this time, you still expect them to do something? Zero Wing dared to be arrogant in the Dark Night Empire before entirely because of our and the Red Emperor's presence. Now that we've suffered heavy losses, a small guild like Zero Wing would definitely want to stay as far away as possible. You still want them to contribute? Do you think that's possible?" Hun Shi, a level 67 Guardian Knight wearing golden armor, rebuked. "I said from the start that we should take advantage of Star Ring's underdeveloped wings and quickly expand to other areas. But you insisted on cooperating with Zero Wing to fight Star Ring to the end. Now look what's happened!"

Everyone present fell silent at the Guardian Knight's words.

If they had immediately moved to other kingdoms after Star Ring took control of the Dark Night City Auction House, their development speed would have been greatly reduced, and they would have been in obscurity for a while, but it would have been much better than the current situation.

"Enough!" Hun Tian Buyu, the guild leader, suddenly scolded. "What we need to discuss now is not who is responsible, but what to do next!"

Hun Tian Buyu's scolding, filled with imposing power, silenced Hun Shi, who had wanted to say more. The guild executives present nodded in agreement. The situation had already occurred, and the priority was to figure out a solution.

Just as everyone was thinking about their next move, the conference room door suddenly opened, and a level 66 Tier 2 Assassin walked in.

"What is it?" Hun Tian Buyu asked, glancing at the Assassin who had entered.

"We just received news. Just now, the Zero Wing Guild suddenly acquired forty-five shops in the ten major cities of the Dark Night Empire from various forces," the Assassin quickly reported.

"What did you say? Zero Wing acquired forty-five shops in the Dark Night Empire?"

"How is that possible?!"

Upon hearing the Assassin's report, the War Soul's Fallen executives in the hall were stunned.

"Has Zero Wing gone mad? Don't they know that Star Ring is about to occupy the Ancient Undead Kingdom and is preparing to consolidate its power and position in the Dark Night Empire?" Hun Shi's eyes were filled with disbelief.

The various forces in the Dark Night Empire were trying to avoid the situation, but Zero Wing had directly taken over, as if they didn't care about Star Ring at all.

He doubted whether Zero Wing even knew that War Soul's Fallen and the Red Emperor could no longer restrain Star Ring.

"Excellent! Zero Wing hasn't given up after all," Mu Lingsha couldn't help but exclaim with joy.

As Mu Lingsha spoke unconsciously, the guild executives couldn't help but glance at Hun Shi. Previously, Hun Shi had accused Bu Mie Zhanxin of misjudging people and dragging the guild down with him. Now, Zero Wing had stepped forward without hesitation, even openly declaring war on Star Ring in the Dark Night Empire.

"It's too early to be happy! Zero Wing's finances in Star-Moon Kingdom were already tight. This move will only make them die faster!" Hun Shi said with a sneer.

Bu Mie Zhanxin, who had been silent, agreed with Hun Shi's reminder.

"What is Zero Wing thinking?" Although Bu Mie Zhanxin was grateful that Zero Wing had stepped forward at this time, he felt that it was a foolish move.

In Star-Moon Kingdom, Zero Wing had the home-field advantage, making it difficult for Star Ring to deal with them. But Zero Wing was now in the Dark Night Empire, Star Ring's home territory. This was no different from courting death.

At this time, the various forces in the Dark Night Empire were also greatly shaken by Zero Wing's acquisition of the shops.

They didn't know whether to call it courage or stupidity!

Although the various forces in the Dark Night Empire saw this as an act of seeking death, the vast majority of free players in the Dark Night Empire didn't see it that way.

"Is Zero Wing planning to start a war with the overlord of the Dark Night Empire?"

"Didn't they say that Star Ring was suppressing Zero Wing in Star-Moon Kingdom, pushing them to the brink of collapse?"

"Amazing! I heard that even super guilds don't dare to provoke Star Ring Guild. Zero Wing first blocked Star Ring's auction house in Dark Night City, and now they've acquired forty-five shops in the Dark Night Empire. This is a rhythm of fighting Star Ring!"

"Damn! Forty-five shops in the ten major cities. Is Zero Wing preparing to become the fourth giant in the Dark Night Empire?"

For a time, the free players of the entire Dark Night Empire were in an uproar.

They had seen many battles between guilds, even battles between super forces. But this was the first time they had seen a guild without any background daring to openly challenge a super force.

Many players even became interested in Zero Wing and wanted to join, making Zero Wing Guild's reputation in the Dark Night Empire second to none.

Just as the people of the Dark Night Empire were discussing this matter, Shi Feng, carrying the synthesized Magic Crystals, used the Teleportation Hall to teleport to the border area of the Dark Night Empire. Then, using the Seven Luminaries Ring, he teleported to the neutral map closest to the Ancient Undead Kingdom, and then rode the Demonic Flame Tiger all the way to the Ancient Undead Kingdom.
