Chapter 1 Blue Bay City

A burst of light flashed from the teleportation magic array in the Teleportation Hall, and Shi Feng arrived at Blue Bay City, a port city of the Apocalyptic Empire. Although Blue Bay City was just a small NPC city, the flow of players was unusually high.

Just standing in the Teleportation Hall, one could see a constant stream of players coming and going to Blue Bay City. Among these players, there were many who wore luxurious clothing and carried two-star or even three-star Merchant Badges.

The Merchant Badge served as proof of a merchant player's status, and the higher the star rating, the stronger their abilities. Generally, merchant players who reached three stars were honored guests of the major guilds, managing considerable channel resources and known as Great Merchants. Even in the imperial capital of the empire, they were rarely seen.

But now, many of these Great Merchants had gathered in Blue Bay City, which was no surprise to the players of Blue Bay City. All of this was due to Blue Bay City being a trading port. Every day, a large number of maritime players brought resources from various neutral forces in the sea area, allowing these player merchants to profit.

"The speed of development here is really fast. I'm afraid it won't be long before it can be promoted to a large city, governed by a Tier 4 NPC," Shi Feng said, looking at the carriages and trucks on the street, and couldn't help but admire Dark Sin.

At the time when Dark Sin led Undying Light to transfer, my suggestion was to develop on the sea, after all, the major first-rate guilds at that time did not pay much attention to the sea.

However, Dark Sin, relying only on some resources given by Zero Wing, forcibly developed from a port town in the Apocalyptic Empire to occupy the entire Blue Bay City. Now, Blue Bay City is about to be promoted to a large NPC city, and its maritime strength is not afraid of some first-rate guilds. His abilities are even better than Bai Qingsnow and Water Rose.

When Blue Bay City is promoted to a large NPC city, the city area and town functions will also be further increased, and the player population will increase significantly. At that time, Undying Light will have the confidence to compete with those first-rate guilds in the Apocalyptic Empire.

Just as Shi Feng arrived in front of an advanced restaurant not far from the Teleportation Hall, a man who had reached level 96, with as many as five pieces of Epic equipment and other equipment of at least level 95 Dark-Gold grade, took the initiative to greet him.

Following behind this level 96 Elementalist were two Priests and Berserkers who had also reached level 96 and possessed two or three pieces of Epic equipment.

The fact that these three took the initiative to come out to greet Shi Feng immediately surprised the players around the restaurant.

"Who is that person? The president of Undying Light and two top experts are actually welcoming him personally?"

"Could it be some big shot from somewhere?"

In Blue Bay City, everyone knew the president of Undying Light, Dark Sin. As for the two top experts of Undying Light, there was no need to say more. After all, in order to capture Blue Bay City, Undying Light defeated many major guilds in Blue Bay City, and even destroyed a fleet of a first-rate guild, making a big splash in the Apocalyptic Empire.

Moreover, Dark Sin was one of the top ten Elementalists in the Apocalyptic Empire, and even the president of a first-rate guild would have to give him some face.

But now, he was taking the initiative to welcome a player who looked very ordinary in terms of equipment, but whose level could not be displayed, which surprised everyone.

Just as everyone was talking about it, Dark Sin ordered the members of Undying Light to clear the area. The players present did not dare to say anything and could only obediently disperse.

"I really didn't expect Brother Ye Feng to come in person. Now we have more confidence in going to the End Sea," Dark Sin said, looking at Shi Feng and taking the initiative to greet him.

"Brother Dark Sin is joking. I wonder what happened with the Freedom Alliance that you had to specifically invite so many cooperating forces to go there?" Shi Feng didn't have too much small talk and asked straight to the point.

"I just got some news. Let's go inside and talk." When Dark Sin mentioned the Freedom Alliance, his expression also became serious, and then he led Shi Feng into the reserved advanced restaurant.

As Shi Feng followed Dark Sin into the restaurant, the two experts behind Dark Sin looked at Shi Feng's back and their expressions became somewhat displeased.

"This guy really doesn't take our Undying Light seriously, asking the boss as soon as he comes up."

"The boss has a good temper. If it were me, I would definitely give this guy a show of strength, otherwise he would really think that our Undying Light is still the small guild it used to be."

"Forget it, when we get to the End Sea, he will naturally know how powerful our Undying Light is."

The Priest and Berserker behind Dark Sin were very dissatisfied with Shi Feng's attitude.

Although Shi Feng was a high-level member of Zero Wing, and Undying Light had received a lot of resources from Zero Wing, owning 50% of the shares of Undying Light, Undying Light was not what it used to be. It was a large guild that was not much inferior to those first-rate guilds in the Apocalyptic Empire, and its maritime strength was even among the top among the first-rate guilds.

Especially their president, Dark Sin, had secretly repelled many top experts sent by Kings Return. His strength at sea was not to be underestimated even by those Super Guilds, but Shi Feng's attitude was so casual.

Just as the two were waiting outside the restaurant, Dark Sin inside the restaurant told Shi Feng the details.

The reason why there was a problem this time was entirely because a force suddenly joined the Freedom Alliance, making the Freedom Alliance a maritime force with twelve powerful fleets.

And this newly joined force was very strong. The twelfth fleet, which was originally ranked at the bottom, had now become the first fleet in the Freedom Alliance.

The addition of this powerful new force also made the Freedom Alliance stronger.

The Freedom Alliance, which originally only controlled three of the twelve main cities in the End Sea, had now become a giant controlling five main cities, and the resources harvested were completely incomparable to before.

Normally, all of this was pretty good, but the current First Fleet wanted to reorganize the various forces cooperating with the Freedom Alliance, wanting to eliminate some cooperators, so now they are inviting the major cooperating forces to go to Starfall Island, which was newly occupied by the Freedom Alliance, for a meeting.

Starfall Island was a very dangerous place in the End Sea. Ordinary boats could not set foot in that sea area at all, and would be directly torn apart by sea beasts. Generally, a fleet was needed to dare to enter.

"A newly joined force in the Freedom Alliance?" Shi Feng was a little dazed when he heard Dark Sin say this.

In the previous life, a major change did occur in the Freedom Alliance, but it was suppressed by Shang Buyan, the团长(tuánzhǎng, regiment commander/leader) of the original First Fleet. Shang Buyan's previous actions in the End Sea had caused a considerable impact, so this time the big change was not suppressed by Shang Buyan, but instead allowed this new force to control the Freedom Alliance.

"Because of the growth of the Freedom Alliance, this time they want to see if we cooperators are qualified to cooperate with them. I can understand this kind of thing, but I didn't expect it to be so sudden." Dark Sin smiled bitterly, "Now I am gathering the elite ships of Undying Light, and it will take three or four hours to gather. We estimate that we will be a little late for the time required by the Freedom Alliance."

The sea area near Starfall Island was extremely dangerous, and a small fleet consisting of at least Bronze-grade speedboats had to be organized to pass through, otherwise it would be suicide.

"Brother Dark Sin, how many Bronze-grade or higher ships have you gathered now?" Shi Feng asked.

"There are currently eight Bronze speedboats and one Mysterious-Iron speedboat." Dark Sin shook his head, "And to enter Starfall Island, these ships are not enough, at least twenty Bronze speedboats plus one sailboat are needed."

"Eight Bronze and one Mysterious-Iron? That's enough, let's set off now," Shi Feng said.
