Chapter 1 The Border Town

Creek Town was a remote border town under the jurisdiction of White River City. The area around the town was desolate, mostly just desert. It was a completely godforsaken place.

However, this kind of town was a frequent gathering place for red-named players who roamed in the darkness.

Cities like White River City had extremely strict management, unlike the looser environment of the towns. So, the players who were used to killing players and robbing equipment in towns could only come to these places to take on quests and level up.

The areas around Creek Town were all high-level monster zones, ranging from Level 15 to Level 30, which was just right for the current players.

Red-named players were everywhere in Creek Town, and their levels were all above 15. Very few were below Level 15. As the Bloodhand Society, which managed Creek Town, was itself a dark force, they naturally would not kill these red-named players. On the contrary, these red-named players were very popular here. Based on their sin value, they could get better quests and increase their reputation with the dark forces.

"Guild Leader, there are over a thousand players here. Plus the NPCs guarding the town, I'm afraid we can't take it down." Aqua Rose had been observing Creek Town for a long time and had a general assessment of its combat power.

Putting aside the thousand or so red-named players, there were over five hundred NPC guards that she could see. The lowest level of these guards was Level 50, and there were many elite guards. There were even several first-order Level 70 guard captains. If they really fought, there would probably be even more NPCs. With just their 100 people plus 49 guards, it was simply not enough.

After all, there was still a big difference between NPCs and monsters. If they attacked the town, these NPCs would not wait for the players to approach. Instead, they would gather all the guards in the town and swarm them. Plus, the NPCs would cooperate with each other, which would be even harder to deal with than facing tens of thousands of wild monsters.

Moreover, in battle, these red-named players would definitely interfere to get a cheap advantage, which would be very unfavorable for them. And these red names were not easy to provoke. Being a red name now and having this level was enough to show that these players' combat skills were extremely good, not to mention their equipment.

Robbery and arson brought wealth. Even if they weren't wearing a full set of mithril equipment, they would at least be wearing bronze or better.

If these red-named players were in a guild, they would be elite main members. And because they fought so often, the tempering effect was extremely good, so there were many experts among these people.

To put it another way, although there were only a thousand or so people, these people were stronger than the two thousand elite members of Dark Star.

Wanting to destroy this Creek Town? It was difficult, difficult, difficult!

"A normal attack is definitely impossible, but we came with a subjugation quest," Shi Feng naturally knew these things.

Subjugation quests were not so easy to complete.

Otherwise, the system would not have given such amazing rewards and reputation.

These red-named players usually robbed others. When would it ever be their turn to be robbed?

But this time, it was time for these red-named players to bleed a little.

"Fire Dance, how is everything prepared on your side?" Shi Feng asked in the guild chat.

The 48 first-order Level 50 guards that Shi Feng had recruited this time were not just for show. These ordinary guards could not usually be used for fighting monsters in dungeons, or even for participating in guild wars in the wild. They were generally used to guard towns or private residences. However, they could be used in large-scale guild quests. Otherwise, Shi Feng would not have recruited so many first-order guards at once.

Although they were all first-order guards, they were still not enough to face the NPCs of Creek Town. Moreover, Shi Feng had recruited them not to directly withstand the town guard team.

Among these guards, there were many rangers and assassins, so Shi Feng had Fire Dance and the others each take one such guard to lure the NPCs in the town. After all, these NPC guards were much less intelligent than players. Letting them execute the plan alone would easily fail, but relying on players to execute it, the difference in attributes was too great, and they would easily be caught. So, the players would secretly direct these guards individually.

"Everything is ready. We have already mastered the basic operations of these guards, just waiting for your order, Guild Leader," Fire Dance said with a smile.

"Okay, as soon as I activate the quest, you guys move immediately. Remember not to lure these town guards too far. If they go too far, they will run straight back to the town," Shi Feng reminded them before heading towards Creek Town.

When Shi Feng reached a position a few hundred yards away from Creek Town, he stopped. He took out the subjugation order given for this subjugation quest from his bag and pointed it towards the sky.

The golden subjugation order suddenly radiated golden light, and a golden magic array instantly appeared in the sky above Creek Town. At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, and this golden magic array was exceptionally eye-catching. Many players in the town looked over.

After a while, the magic elements contained in this magic array suddenly exploded, and golden ripples spread out, enveloping the entire Creek Town area. From the outside, Creek Town looked like it had an extra golden shield.

Creek Town Announcement: Zero Wing Guild has begun subjugating Creek Town. Uninvolved parties, please leave as soon as possible!

Creek Town Announcement: Zero Wing Guild has begun subjugating Creek Town. Uninvolved parties, please leave as soon as possible!

Creek Town Announcement: Zero Wing Guild has begun subjugating Creek Town. Uninvolved parties, please leave as soon as possible!

The subjugation announcement was repeated three times. All the red-named players in Creek Town were shocked. A guild actually dared to slaughter a red-named town. They were simply courting death.

At the same time, the players belonging to the dark forces in Creek Town received a system message, but this message was sent by the Bloodhand Society. As long as they could defend the town, all players would receive generous rewards. Moreover, they would receive corresponding merits based on the number of enemies killed. After the battle ended, they could use these merits to exchange for weapons and equipment.

"Zero Wing Guild is really nice. They actually came to give us money."

"Is Zero Wing Guild amazing? Daring to come to our territory? Watch us destroy them!"

The people of Creek Town were in an uproar, filled with murderous intent. Although Zero Wing Guild was thriving in White River City, in the eyes of these red-named players, they were not worth mentioning at all. Their skills were very good, and they didn't mingle in White River City, so they weren't afraid of Zero Wing Guild's revenge. Even if Zero Wing retaliated against them, they could just hide, so what could Zero Wing do to them?

Those with bare feet are not afraid of those wearing shoes. They were all single and unattached, so how could they be afraid of Zero Wing?

Inside a bar in Creek Town, a black-clad assassin was drinking alone, giving people the feeling that he was an ice block, exuding a cold chill that made people afraid to approach. But this black-clad assassin's level and equipment were very eye-catching. He was Level 20, with a full set of mithril equipment, making him a top-notch existence in White River City.

However, the system announcement made this black-clad assassin pause, and the bottle in his hand fell to the ground.

"Zero Wing Guild, which means Nightfall might have come." The black-clad assassin's lips curved into a devilish smile. "Last time, I lost due to equipment attributes. This time, I will get everything back."

If Shi Feng saw this assassin, he would definitely recognize that this assassin was none other than Absolute Heaven, whom he had killed once.
