Chapter 614 Threat (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Aside from Brilliant Knife Light, no one else had informed Nie Yan of any news. Had the other members of the Powerful Bull Clan contacted the Century Financial Group like Brilliant Knife Light? Had anyone reached an agreement with the Century Financial Group?
It was unlikely that the Century Financial Group only approached Brilliant Knife Light without contacting anyone else; that defied common sense.
Many members of the Powerful Bull Clan might have already been bought off by the Century Financial Group.
Not knowing how severe the situation was, or how successful the Century Financial Group had been, this had become a hidden danger lurking within the Powerful Bull Clan.
At this critical moment when they were about to attack the Mage Union, if something went wrong with the Powerful Bull Clan, the foundation they had worked so hard to build might be destroyed in an instant.
"Has anyone reported to you that the Century Financial Group is trying to recruit them?" Nie Yan asked, needing to know more.
"Shui Se mentioned it, and so did Sun. No one else has," Guo Huai said. From Nie Yan's question, Guo Huai understood Nie Yan's concerns. Nie Yan was worried that, besides Brilliant Knife Light and the others, there were more people who had been contacted by the Century Financial Group but were keeping silent, either observing the situation or quietly defecting to the Century Financial Group.
Shui Se Yan Tou and Sun had also been contacted by people from the Century Financial Group. Who exactly had the Century Financial Group sent invitations to? Nie Yan was deeply troubled by this question.
He couldn't let go of this worry. How glorious was the Tribe of War God in his past life? It had once surpassed the Triumphant Empire, but in the end, it still collapsed under the Century Financial Group's capitalistic devouring. Nie Yan was worried that everything would repeat itself.
Thinking about these problems, Nie Yan felt a little agitated. He found that he couldn't help but suspect some people at this moment. This was only natural because Nie Yan was certain that those people must have also received invitations from the Century Financial Group.
"There's nothing we can do at this time. The Century Financial Group's activities won't stop. What we should do is unconditionally trust the brothers of our Powerful Bull Clan," Guo Huai comforted Nie Yan, saying that suspicion would only further alienate the brothers below.
Nie Yan was silent for a moment. Guo Huai's words made a lot of sense. The Century Financial Group was offering high prices to recruit, and some people in the Powerful Bull Clan would definitely leave. This was unavoidable. What could he do at this moment? That was to ensure that every brother in the Powerful Bull Clan was not ostracized and to trust them as much as possible so that they would develop a sense of belonging to the Powerful Bull Clan.
Wasn't the lesson of the Tribe of War God in his previous life profound enough? As more and more people left, the Tribe of War God fell into disarray from within. Mutual suspicion alienated each other, and this sense of alienation accelerated the collapse of the Tribe of War God. In addition, the Tribe of War God itself was composed of different studios, and the members were not as united. There were often small groups, which easily led to conflicts. Moreover, the studios themselves were profit-driven, so it was normal for them to fall into the trap of the Century Financial Group. However, the Powerful Bull Clan was different. The Powerful Bull Clan was much more united than the Tribe of War God in his previous life. Even if some people left, as long as Nie Yan didn't make any mistakes, it wouldn't be so easy for the Century Financial Group to break up the Powerful Bull Clan.
Nie Yan immediately came up with some countermeasures, including increasing the benefits for the Powerful Bull Clan players. Increasing benefits could stabilize people's hearts. At the same time, if the Century Financial Group wanted to recruit Powerful Bull Clan players, they would have to consider the Powerful Bull Clan's benefits and increase their prices accordingly. After examining the Powerful Bull Clan's profitability, Nie Yan increased the benefits for each player by 30%. If the Century Financial Group wanted to recruit players from the Powerful Bull Clan, they would have to offer at least three times the price before some Powerful Bull Clan players would consider transferring, which meant the Century Financial Group would have to pay more costs.
Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Nie Yan did everything he could. The Century Financial Group was something Nie Yan had to face. Previously, the Century Financial Group's methods against the Powerful Bull Clan were limited to organizing its affiliated forces to encircle and suppress them. But now, they had begun to use unscrupulous means, and Nie Yan had to guard against them.
"Pay more attention to the Century Financial Group's movements, and send me any news immediately," Nie Yan said. He attached great importance to this matter and had to pay attention to it at all times, without the slightest mistake!
"Don't worry, I'll notify you as soon as there's any movement from the Century Financial Group," Guo Huai said.
After arranging everything, Nie Yan sneaked into the Mage Union's main hall.
A large group of people had gathered in front of the main hall, about twenty or so. Nie Yan counted them and found there were twenty-six in total. Both Kuang Fa and Saint Flame were there, and besides them, there were six Thieves, five Holy Knights, seven Mages, three Priests, and three Warriors. These people all had good equipment, and their levels were around seventy. They were the top group of people in the Mage Union.
"The Century Financial Group has made a move against the Powerful Bull Clan. I estimate there will be good news soon," Kuang Fa said, this being news he had just received.
"The Powerful Bull Clan's five Icefrost Armored Catapults have already entered the range of the City of Flames. I estimate they can reach Moonlight City in eight hours at most. You should think about how to deal with that," Saint Flame said from the side, adding that whether the Century Financial Group's methods would work remained to be seen.
"How did they get here so fast?" Kuang Fa frowned. The Powerful Bull Clan's speed of advance exceeded his imagination.
"The Powerful Bull Clan installed carriages on the Icefrost Armored Catapults, which can increase their movement speed considerably."
"Carriages?" Kuang Fa suddenly remembered this item. Carriages could indeed increase the movement speed of war machines. He remembered that researching carriage technology required at least five to six hundred thousand gold coins, not to mention labor and material costs. The Powerful Bull Clan was spending money recklessly. Kuang Fa was really depressed. He didn't know where the Powerful Bull Clan got its money, how it could have so much. They were simply spending money like water. The Powerful Bull Clan's assets were unimaginable to him.
The Powerful Bull Clan was about to arrive at the city walls, and Kuang Fa immediately felt great pressure.
What Kuang Fa and the others didn't know was that as they were discussing these things, several pairs of eyes were staring at them.
"Report your positions."
"I'm at 23.85.28," Wang Zhe Tian Xia said, which was a coordinate inside the hall.
After seeing this coordinate, Nie Yan looked towards the corner on the east side of the hall. There was a pillar there, and Wang Zhe Tian Xia was hiding behind it.
"I'm at 32.28.29," Sun replied.
Soon, Nie Yan confirmed the positions of the others. He looked at the twenty-six people in front of him and saw several faces that were somewhat familiar. Among them were three people who were relatively famous in his previous life, named Su Da Shui, Suan Wei Nai Lao, and Xiao Yao Feng Tian. The three of them were Warrior, Holy Knight, and Priest, respectively. In his previous life, they were all top-tier players and could be considered important figures in the Mage Union.
Five people to deal with so many people, it was estimated that it would be somewhat difficult.
"Nie Yan, Big Brother, are we going to attack?" Sun asked in the team chat.
If the five of them cooperated to assassinate Kuang Fa and Saint Flame, they would definitely succeed. Even if Nie Yan didn't attack, the four of them would be more than enough. However, they had to have a complete plan beforehand.
Nie Yan was silent for a moment and said coldly, "We're going to kill them all!"
So what if there were twenty-six people!
Nie Yan's killing intent was awe-inspiring. Wang Zhe Tian Xia, Sun, and the others were shocked. To slaughter all twenty-six of them here?
Sun pondered for a moment and said, "Nie Yan, Big Brother, you arrange it."
"What are you planning to do?" Wang Zhe Tian Xia asked.
"Sun and Yi Chui Ding Qing, you deal with Kuang Fa. Wang Zhe Tian Xia and Qing Wa, you deal with Saint Flame. Leave the rest to me. I'll make the first move and create opportunities for you." Nie Yan made the arrangements. He decided to use the Golden Earth Dragon!
Nie Yan explained his plan. Sun and the others thought this method was feasible. Of course, the premise was that Nie Yan was strong enough to hold everyone back, but there shouldn't be any problem with the Golden Earth Dragon.
"Alright, let's do it this way," Nie Yan said. He walked towards the corner of the hall and hid behind a pillar next to the hall.
At this time, Sun, Wang Zhe Tian Xia, and the others had slowly approached the location of Kuang Fa and Saint Flame. If they were in the wild, they could easily kill Kuang Fa and Saint Flame. With their strength, two people dealing with one would definitely be very easy. As long as there was no interference from others, they could complete their task smoothly.
After receiving the ready messages from Sun and Wang Zhe Tian Xia, Nie Yan said in the team chat, "Begin!"
After hearing Nie Yan's words, Sun, Wang Zhe Tian Xia, and the others were alert, their bodies slightly bent, ready to pounce at any moment.
Nie Yan chanted a spell, and a golden light flashed. The huge body of the Golden Earth Dragon appeared in the center of the hall.
Kuang Fa, Saint Flame, and the others were chatting when suddenly someone shouted, "It's Crazy Thief Nie Yan's Golden Earth Dragon! Everyone be careful!"
Kuang Fa and Saint Flame turned around and saw the huge Golden Earth Dragon in the center of the hall.
How could Crazy Thief Nie Yan be here!
"Be careful of Crazy Thief Nie Yan's ambush!" Kuang Fa said in a deep voice. His first reaction was that Crazy Thief Nie Yan must be coming for him.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Golden Earth Dragon spewed a mouthful of dragon breath, and scorching flames swept over.
Flicker!
Leap!
Charge!
The top-tier players of the Mage Union immediately displayed their skills, dodging and flashing.
With a loud bang, the dragon breath hit the ground, and gravel flew around.
The Warrior named Su Da Shui rushed to the Golden Earth Dragon and launched a charge. With a muffled thud, the Golden Earth Dragon staggered back a step. Counter Storm! Two damage values floated above Su Da Shui's head, almost instantly killing him.
Healing Spell!
A Healing Spell landed on Su Da Shui's body, healing him back to full health.
Almost all the players turned their attention to the Golden Earth Dragon.
Nie Yan flashed past and killed a Mage with a single sword strike, then ran away using Gale Steps.
"It's Crazy Thief Nie Yan, he's over there!"
"Intercept him!"
Xiao Yao Feng Tian waved his staff, and a Light Spell flew into the sky.
The Mage Union players' attention was focused on Nie Yan's side. For safety, Kuang Fa and Saint Flame stood behind the group of Mage Union players. At this moment, only a few steps away from them, four figures suddenly erupted and pounced on them.
