Time ticked closer to the twelve-hour deadline.
In Black Earth City, the atmosphere within the Qingcheng Guild was suffocatingly tense.
This time, even the guild leader, with her mature appearance and childlike voice, couldn't sit still.
Had that guy forgotten about her?
She opened her friend list.
She saw that he was online.
Simultaneously, on the wcc live stream, Qingcheng saw Chu Tian standing atop the head of a giant dragon.
"Damn... Such a show-off!"
She couldn't help but spit out.
She had intended to click on Chu Tian's avatar to urge him on.
But then she suddenly received an anonymous chat.
"North of Black Earth City, coordinates: 58654.63593.94458! The path is paved!"
Qingcheng looked at this anonymous message.
Then she glanced at the man displayed on the wcc live stream.
She thought, "Did he arrange this?"
With that thought, she closed the live stream.
"Prepare to depart..."
The Qingcheng Guild had actually finished assembling long ago.
They had been waiting for news.
When the people below heard Qingcheng utter this sentence, their spirits immediately lifted.
"Leader, where are we going?"
Someone below asked.
"Just follow. Too many unnecessary questions!"
Qingcheng said sternly in her childlike voice.
She herself felt she sounded quite stern, but others heard it differently.
With peculiar expressions, they touched their noses and followed Qingcheng.
*Buzz...*
Qingcheng was the first to enter stealth mode.
Tens of thousands of people followed behind her.
They also entered the front lines one by one, the sound of stealth activation ringing out simultaneously.
What was originally a small sound became somewhat deafening with tens of thousands of people activating it at once.
After entering stealth, Qingcheng confirmed the direction.
She headed straight for the coordinates provided by the mysterious person.
Heading due north, a group of stealthy rogues.
They moved without a sound.
Many ordinary players without guilds, in the leveling zones, felt their scalps tingle and a chill run down their backs.
They looked around nervously.
Of course, these low-level players naturally couldn't detect anything.
Not long after Qingcheng set out.
A system prompt appeared again.
It was another global announcement.
The third advanced fortress in the world had been occupied by the Nihility Alliance.
The reward was also a guild level-up.
At this point, the Nihility Alliance Guild had reached level 11.
By now, everyone had become immune to system prompts.
Now, even if the system announced that the Nihility Alliance ruled the world, they probably wouldn't stir any significant emotions.
Although Chu Tian's bombardment had made this battle quite uninteresting.
The wcc radio station had no complaints.
After all, they had profited immensely from the viewership.
Especially during the waiting period before.
Although it was quiet here, the livestream chat was teeming with people, and the popularity was explosive.
Even without combat footage, it created more suspense.
Now that Chu Tian had revealed his trump card,
while the previous suspense was gone,
these people didn't leave the livestream.
They began to chat and praise.
Shi Zhenxiang and another competitor
also began to narrate, one by one, all the events that had happened since Chu Tian's debut.
Occasionally, they would offer analyses.
Everyone felt that everything was coming to an end.
The initial fortress conquest time was also nearing its end.
As for the guild called Slaughter, once known as the top guild in the Northern War Zone,
no one paid it any attention at this moment.
What level 8 guild?
Now the Nihility Alliance had reached level 11.
They were ranked first among all guilds globally.
Moreover, the Slaughter Guild's level
was only slightly superior within the Northern War Zone.
Each war zone had an eight-level guild.
In other war zones, eight-level guilds were also common.
Now, the Nihility Alliance had soared to an eleven-level guild, far surpassing others.
One had to know that the积分 and gold required for guild upgrades were enormous numbers.
Chu Tian estimated that he had saved at least a million gold coins in this wave.
As Zhao Lei led his men to attack the commander, and the commander's health dwindled.
Finally, with a mournful cry,
the fortress commander fell without suspense.
Another global system prompt appeared.
However, there were no rewards this time.
It seemed only the top three received rewards.
This uncontested battle for the advanced fortress, securing fourth place,
concluded perfectly.
However, just as everyone was sighing,
a system prompt suddenly appeared.
It flashed across the entire screen.
【Ding... Global Prompt: The fifth advanced fortress in the world has been occupied. Occupying Guild: [Qingcheng]. Occupied Region: Dragon Country Northern War Zone, Black Earth City Area!】
At this moment,
all players on the server exploded.
A guild that had never been heard of,
had, following the Nihility Alliance, occupied another advanced fortress.
Those watching the wcc live stream, who were about to exit the room,
suddenly became energized again.
Discussions began within the livestream.
While few people knew about the Qingcheng Guild,
it was quite well-known in Black Earth City.
After all, they were a guild built entirely of rogues.
This peculiar nature alone
was enough to make people remember them.
Soon, someone dug up information about the Qingcheng Guild.
There was also a statement from the leader of the Qingcheng Guild,
Qingcheng.
When the video first opened,
everyone was stunned... a beauty!
But when she started speaking,
several people with weaker psychological resilience shivered and rolled their eyes.
This showed the devastating impact of the childlike voice beneath the mature appearance!
...
Just a few minutes ago.
Qingcheng, leading tens of thousands of rogues from her guild,
arrived at the coordinates given by the mysterious person.
Upon approaching the vicinity,
Qingcheng couldn't believe what lay before her.
It was an advanced fortress.
Based on the distance,
those coordinates should have been at the very center of this fortress.
She thought to herself,
"Could it be that they want me to attack this advanced fortress?"
"That can't be right."
"According to the previous agreement with Chu Tian,"
Chu Tian had promised to give her a fortress as a guild base.
She had expected it to be just a basic fortress, enough to secure the guild.
What was the meaning of sending her here now?
Qingcheng couldn't figure it out.
Bewildered, she continued towards the front.
The others in her guild had naturally also seen the direction of their target.
They also began to whisper amongst themselves.
As they got closer, Qingcheng and everyone else's eyes widened.
"Leader, am I seeing things? The city gate is open?
There isn't a single guard on the city wall!"
A rogue close to Qingcheng rubbed his eyes.
If Chu Tian were here, he would recognize this rogue.
It was the same one he encountered on the snowy mountain when he first arrived in the Black Earth City area.
He was the first vice-guild leader under Qingcheng.
And the only one.
He actually served a role similar to Qi Xi in the Nihility Alliance.
Normally, Qingcheng hardly managed the guild at all.
It was all handled by him.
As for his relationship with Qingcheng,
there were many theories within the guild.
"I bet they're involved."
"You're not blind, and neither am I!
Get the brothers ready to enter the city quickly and close the gates!"
The entire team instantly picked up speed.
The ground they passed over was uneven,
as if many graves had been dug up here.
There were also huge craters from massive rocks that had been thrown down.
It was evident that a great battle had taken place here before.
Upon entering the city,
they immediately closed the fortress gates.
Qingcheng also dispatched three small teams.
They headed towards the directions of the three city gates.
But they soon received reports.
The other three city gates were all closed.
Hearing this, Qingcheng's eyes gleamed with excitement.
Even her breathing became rapid.
