Chapter 1868 Private Knight Order

At this moment, NPCs of Tier 3, enough to fill a soccer field, silently watched Yuan Tiexin and Zi Qiong outside the courtyard gate, putting immense pressure on them, even to the point of wanting to turn around and run.

Although they were both Tier 3 classes now, the gap between their strength and those Tier 3 NPCs was substantial.

This was not only reflected in the difference in basic attributes but also in the vast difference in the number of Tier 3 magic skills. There was simply no comparison between them and those who had just advanced to Tier 3.

Moreover, Tier 3 class NPCs could become magistrates in small NPC cities.

Players throughout God's Domain were wary of the power of magistrates, even those who had advanced to Tier 3 now.

Being stared at by a soccer field's worth of magistrates was a feeling that could be imagined.

"Could it be that Stone Forest City has already been occupied by the forces of darkness?" Yuan Tiexin couldn't help but think this as he trembled while looking at these Tier 3 class NPCs.

It wasn't uncommon for dark forces NPCs to occupy cities in neutral maps in God's Domain, just like the chance encounters players experienced. If players could resolve the event, they could obtain generous rewards. It could be said that risk and opportunity coexisted.

Perhaps Stone Forest City was in such a situation now.

Otherwise, how could they explain the presence of so many Tier 3 NPCs and the sudden opening of Stone Forest City?

"Uncle Yuan, what should we do now? These NPCs have already locked onto our auras," Zi Qiong said anxiously as she looked at the Tier 3 NPCs filling the square.

At this time, she didn't have the slightest intention of completing this chance encounter.

Because this was no longer a chance encounter but a disaster, or rather, a calamity.

She already found it difficult enough to escape from a Level 100 Tier 3 NPC, let alone with a square full of Tier 3 NPCs staring at her. How could she escape?

"There's no other way. I'll try to hold them back for a while. You immediately use a Tier 3 Instant Transfer Scroll to leave here. You have to be quick. The reaction speed and combat level of these Tier 3 NPCs are not comparable to those Great Lords and High Great Lords. They won't give us any opportunities," Yuan Tiexin understood that they couldn't escape at this point. They could only sacrifice one person to create an opportunity for the other.

In God's Domain, the intelligence of NPCs far exceeded that of monsters, and their combat skills were more precise and experienced than those of players. The higher the tier, the higher the intelligence. Tier 3 NPCs would hardly give them a chance to use magical items.

Especially when the NPCs had the upper hand, even top-tier experts would find it difficult to retrieve magical items from their backpacks.

Because in that instant of vulnerability, Tier 3 class NPCs could instantly kill these Tier 3 players.

As a Tier 3 MT, Yuan Tiexin could withstand a little longer by activating all his life-saving skills, but Zi Qiong, as a Tier 3 Sword King, was different. She would probably be reduced to ashes in an instant, as she would be facing the attacks of not just two or three Tier 3 NPCs, but an entire square of Tier 3 NPCs, which would be devastating.

"I understand."

Zi Qiong nodded. Although she was unwilling, this was the only way. Otherwise, both of them would die. Dying once wasn't a big deal; their leveling speed at Tier 3 was still fast. The key was that players would drop their weapons and equipment when they died in the wilderness.

For experts of their level, the level was no longer the most important thing; the weapons and equipment on their bodies were the top priority. Their equipment had been painstakingly acquired by the guild. Losing one piece would be heartbreaking, and losing two would be difficult to make up for.

As Zi Qiong nodded, Yuan Tiexin immediately raised his shield, preparing to activate his life-saving skills.

Just as Yuan Tiexin was about to step onto the square of the courtyard, a familiar voice suddenly came from inside the courtyard.

"Elder Yuan, why are you here? Didn't Shuise take you to the reception room?"

After this voice came out, Yuan Tiexin and Zi Qiong were immediately dumbfounded, because this voice was too familiar. However, it seemed unlikely to hear it here, and both couldn't help but look towards the source of the voice.

They saw the Tier 3 NPCs standing in rows on the square suddenly disperse, leaving a path, each standing respectfully on both sides, as if welcoming a monarch, welcoming a man in a black cloak walking out of the inner courtyard hall.

Looking at the man slowly approaching, Yuan Tiexin and Zi Qiong were both stunned.

"Guild Leader Black Flame! You… are you really Guild Leader Black Flame?" Zi Qiong looked at Shi Feng walking over and asked in a low voice, somewhat incredulously.

One had to know that a Tier 3 NPC was an existence that made them wary, especially after reaching Tier 3, they were even more aware of how powerful Tier 3 class NPCs were.

But now, a square full of Tier 3 NPCs revered Shi Feng, and the way they looked at Shi Feng was filled with indescribable awe.

This was not a player, but the monarch of a kingdom.

"Of course, I'm Black Flame," Shi Feng said, shaking his head and smiling at Zi Qiong, who was dumbfounded. "Otherwise, who did you think I was?"

He could understand the shock caused by the scene of more than five hundred Tier 3 NPCs before him.

One had to know that even a kingdom didn't have many Tier 3 NPCs. Now, with more than five hundred gathered together, it was truly earth-shattering and irresistible.

Not to mention Tier 3 experts like Yuan Tiexin and Zi Qiong, even Tier 4 experts would turn around and flee in the face of such an army. After all, Tier 3 NPCs were not as simple as one plus one like monsters. They would cooperate with each other in battle, using combined large-scale magic and skills, and the combat power they displayed was far greater than what was seen on the surface.

This was why the Seven Legendary Knights of the Ten Saint Empire were feared by the surrounding kingdoms and empires.

When Zi Qiong and Yuan Tiexin heard Shi Feng's teasing, their solemn expressions relaxed a lot.

"Guild Leader Black Flame, who are these NPCs behind you?" Yuan Tiexin couldn't help but ask, looking at the Tier 3 NPCs standing respectfully behind Shi Feng.

Although he knew that these Tier 3 NPCs were not hostile, it was impossible for him not to care with so many Tier 3 NPCs here.

"These guys?" Shi Feng smiled as he looked at Yuan Tiexin's wary and curious gaze and pointed at all the Tier 3 NPCs present, saying, "They are my personal knights, just like the Tier 2 patrol knights you see outside, only they have all advanced to Tier 3 classes now."

"Personal knights?!"

Although Shi Feng said it casually, Yuan Tiexin and Zi Qiong were shocked beyond words.

They might not be very clear about what personal knights were, but from Shi Feng's words, they understood that these Tier 3 NPCs could be controlled by Shi Feng.

A square full of Tier 3 NPCs!

One had to know that not many of the direct guards of the various super forces could be transferred to Tier 3. Generally, only Mithril-level guards had a 100% success rate, while the success rate of other guards was too low. Mithril-level and above guards were extremely difficult to find and were considered rare in the various super forces.

But in this glance, there were at least five hundred Tier 3 NPCs on the square. If they were released, they would truly be unstoppable.

"By the way, Elder Yuan, did you come to me urgently for something?" Shi Feng asked, looking at Yuan Tiexin, who had not yet recovered.

"Originally, there was something," Yuan Tiexin said with a wry smile, looking at the square full of Tier 3 knights, "but it seems there isn't anymore."

Just kidding!

With more than five hundred Tier 3 NPCs guarding Stone Forest City, it was even more terrifying than the royal city of a kingdom. Even if the various super forces joined forces were very strong, and could even organize an army of thousands of Tier 3 class experts, it would probably still be far from enough to capture the royal city of a kingdom.

If the various super forces couldn't do anything to Stone Forest City, then it wouldn't have any fatal impact on Zero Wing. The final result was self-evident.

He even looked forward to those super forces coming over quickly.

Afterward, Shi Feng began to trade for the Twelve Elemental Pillars with Yuan Tiexin. It had to be said that Tianji Pavilion was rich, buying two hundred sets in one go to test the effect, instantly increasing Shi Feng's gold coins a lot, and he became rich again.

While Shi Feng was trading with Yuan Tiexin, the various super forces also received news that Stone Forest City was open, which surprised them. They didn't expect Zero Wing to be so crazy.

Knowing that the various super forces had already planned to join forces secretly, instead of thinking about how to protect Stone Forest City, they planned to open Stone Forest City, making it more chaotic and giving them more opportunities to take advantage.

At the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion residence in the Black Dragon Empire.

"Pavilion Master, what is Black Flame planning to do?" Long Wu looked at the intelligence he received with a puzzled expression. "Could it be that he really plans to give up everything and earn a fortune before losing Stone Forest City?"

In his opinion, this was the only possibility. After all, as long as the various super forces reached an agreement on cooperation, thousands of Tier 3 experts would invade the Cold Spring Forest.

Since the various super forces had finally joined forces once, they would definitely not be satisfied with just the Twelve Elemental Pillars. They would definitely divide Stone Forest City and the entire Zero Wing, even if Tianji Pavilion and several super forces protected Zero Wing, it would be useless.

"I don't know, but everything is over. I have already received news that those super forces have reached an agreement secretly. Now, no matter what Zero Wing does, it's too late," Nine Dragon Emperor shook his head. He was also puzzled by Shi Feng's actions, but these things were no longer important now. "How is Iron Bone doing?"

"They have all rushed to Stone Forest City. Nearly a hundred Tier 3 experts will soon be able to sneak into Stone Forest City. Then, they will just wait for the coalition forces of the various super forces to arrive, and they will be able to cooperate from the inside and outside and easily seize Stone Forest City," Long Wu said.

"Very good, you should also prepare on your side. We will go to see Lu Xingluo. It's time to talk to him about the distribution of Stone Forest City," Nine Dragon Emperor nodded.

"Yes!" Long Wu also revealed a rare smile.

While Nine Dragon Emperor and others went to see Star Ring Guild Leader Lu Xingluo, Iron Bone Remnant Heart and others who had arrived at Cold Spring Canyon earlier also came to the gate of Stone Forest City, waiting to enter the city.
