Black Flame Valley
Since Qin Ruo acquired this place from the Four Great Leagues, it became the Fallen Angels favorite farming spot and they claimed it their territory. Nobody in the Mythical Continent dared to enter the place.
Even the Four Great Leagues were not brave enough to snatch back this place from the Fallen Angels, not to mention ordinary Clans or Leagues.
Additionally, the Fallen Angels had gathered around a thousand Tier 5 players in Black Flame Valley. This exceeded the number of players in a normal party. Even if a clan wanted to attack Black Flame Valley, the success rate for that would be very low.
Hence, there were many clans from the Angel Faction who considered this place already controlled by the Fallen Angels, in which the outsiders did not possess the courage to enter Black Flame Valley.
For this reason alone, the sentinels that the Fallen Angels arranged to guard Black Flame Valley’s entrance were reduced gradually. Originally, there was a group of sentinels guarding the entrance, but right now, there were only two sentinels taking turns to guard the entrance.
This was hard to blame as the job of a sentinel was a boring one…
With the Fallen Angel’s declining influence in Angel Faction and Black Flame Valley, the sentinels who were on guard became undisciplined too.
Right now, two sentinels were drinking beer lazily while guarding the entrance. After half an hour, they were able to leave this position and continue to farm their Black Flame Steeds in order to exchange their League’s Contribution Points instead of going to the Underworld to grind their levels. Since more than two thousand players had reached Demigod tier, and level grinding had become a common practice now.
“How long do we still need to stay in the Underworld? Must we hide in the Underworld until everyone reaches Level 60?”
“There is nothing we can do. Don’t you see everyone in the city is checking on our status daily? No matter how strong we are, they will not give up such a good opportunity to earn money.”
“But the problem is that I am Level 55 now. With the time that I use for grinding, I need to stay in the Underworld for at least ten days till half a month to reach Tier 6. This is just too long!”
“Uh… I have an idea since you said this. This will help you to be off the wanted list and you would be still able to grind your level…” The Elementalist replied.
“What idea you have?” The Bowmaster asked excitedly.
“Join other clans… this will prevent you from being wanted again.”
Before the Elementalist could finish his statement, the Bowmaster rolled his eyes toward the Elementalist, “What are you saying?! Don’t be ridiculous!”
The Elementalist laughed. Just when he was about to continue, they suddenly heard a stranger’s smirk coming from behind the Bowmaster. “Hmph, this is not a bad idea actually.”
“Who goes there!”
The Bowmaster had a better reaction, as he already realized that there was a Bandit in his blind spot. He immediately stood up from the ground!
However, before he could take any action, a black shadow slashed through his throat right before the Elementalist’s…
Splat!
Bright red blood then splashed out onto the ground like a fountain.
The Bowmaster collapsed to the ground with a surprised expression. He looked at the beer in front, as if to say, “The next time… I must not drink beer when on duty as a sentinel!”
After the Bowmaster died, the defenseless Elementalist attacked the Bandit instantly with three black bolts of lightning.
Immediately after that, a shadow appeared behind the Bandit and attacked the defenseless Elementalist…
The Elementalist and the Bandit who killed the Bowmaster collapsed to the ground at the same time!
“…”
“Move!”
Presently, Summoners and numerous players with wings from Robot Corps and Black Emperor suddenly appeared in the sky and headed to the valley.
There were thousands of people who were all Tier 5. Among them were about hundreds of Champions.
“…”
“Huh?”
“That is…”
The two Leagues did not get a lot of attention since they ambushed the valley from the sky.
The moment they started to comprehend the situation, they were too late to react. The enemies were already too close plus the farming spots in different locations had scattered the Fallen Angel’s members in the Black Flame Valley. Most of the groups had only ten or less players. They were all startled when they were outnumbered by their enemies.
After all, the people farming in Black Flame Valley were all players below Level 57, they were not the ones who were wanted. They had thought that Robot Corps or Black Emperor would not gain much by killing them.
Also, they did not remember that the Fallen Angels had such enemies.
Hence, when they saw these people suddenly appear right before them, they did not plan to initiate an attack. However, the enemies attacked them mercilessly instead…
“…”
“Shit!”
“The two sentinels at the entrance were killed!”
“Damnit!”
“Robot Corps and Black Emperor ambushed us!”
“What! Golden Blood Lion’s people are here too! They kill whoever they see! Help!”
“Black Flame Valley!”
“These guys… Summoners! They summon people!”
“Someone resurrect me! I want to kill them!”
When the news spread from the players to the valley’s entrance, a war suddenly broke out inside the valley. One could hear angry howling voices coming from the valley.
All of a sudden, the Fallen Angel’s League Channel became very busy!
Not only did a hundred players from the Fallen Angels die from the first attack, Blackscale Pangolin’s valley and Chimera’s dwellings were also being attacked at the same time. This indicated that the three places that the Fallen Angels controlled were at war right now!
“…”
In the Underworld’s Camp Jack that was controlled by Hall of Heroes, there were tens of thousands of people gathering there. Something big was about to happen.
Inside the camp, Judge, Homme Fatale, and Majestic Hero were discussing on how to kill the Divine Specter hiding within the Undead Horde.
“It’s good that the three Divine Specters gathered together. We can eliminate three Divine Specters at the same time. This could save us a lot of time.” Homme Fatale agreed on Majestic Hero’s suggestion in eliminating the Divine Specters early.
“Uh…”
“Are Black God and Scarlet Bauhinia prepared to kill the Divine Specters today too?
Homme Fatale nodded in Judge’s direction.
The latter then helplessly answered, “They said it would be up to us… If you decide to act today, then I will inform them.”
The two guy’s conversation was so cool that it made everyone in the Hall of Heroes come up with a wry smile.
“Judge’s in great demand, since he was able to tank Divine Bosses.”
“…”
Judge and Homme Fatale looked at each other. They then shook their heads and slightly smiled.
Tanking a Divine Miniboss was not that hard. Right now, there were at least three people in the Fallen Angels that could do this easily.
Since Majestic Hero was sensitive toward changes in expressions, he could realize the obvious changes both of their demeanor. Majestic Hero could not hold back and asked Homme Fatale a question that he wanted to ask since they met.
“Homme Fatale, how many Demigod equipment do you have with you right now?”
Demigod equipment were not difficult to recognize…
They glowed with silver light and exuded a domineering presence. Both Legendary equipment and Dark Gold equipment looked like low-tier equipment when put together with the Demigod equipment.
However, Homme Fatale had a few Demigod equipment with him!
Except for the Legendary cape, which could be obviously seen, Homme Fatale’s gauntlet, boots, and leggings were all covered with magic. This made it hard for one to guess the equipment. Nevertheless, based on Majestic Hero’s understanding of Demigod equipment, he could discover that easily.
After advancing into Tier 6, Homme Fatale only had one Demigod equipment that he got from the Grand Tournament. But now, after just a few days, he had an almost full set of Demigod equipment!
How could this possible?!
Could it be that Qin Ruo had farmed for Divine Bosses in the Underworld these few days? It couldn’t possibly be this fast even if the Fallen Angels were the strongest League in H&G.
Homme Fatale did not understand the astonished feeling Majestic Hero had within his heart. He then nodded his head and said, “Only four…”
“…”
Just when Homme Fatale finished talking, the surrounding people from Hall of Heroes looked at him, surprised…
“Are you kidding…”
“Four Demigod equipment already?!”
“Yet he said ‘only’ ?!”
Even Majestic Hero only had one Demigod equipment which he obtained from the Great Tournament…
Majestic Hero was also surprised when he knew this… He was excited that he was able to obtain so many Demigod equipment in such a short time. However, he realized a slight change in Judge and Homme Fatale’s expression.
Majestic Hero walked forward and asked, “What happened?”
Judge and Homme Fatale turned their backs around and replied, “It looks like we cannot help you people kill that specter this time…”
“Golden Blood Lions and Robot Corps work together and ambushed our farming spots, as if they knew that you were going to start Project Pioneer today.”
“Black Flame Valley?” Majestic Hero was able to guess it immediately.
The Fallen Angel’s members mostly fled to the Underworld for the four billion gold coins reward. Those new Leagues dared not cause trouble in the Underworld. Hence, the remaining vulnerable spots in the Mythical Continent were the three Pet Egg farming spots in Black Flame Valley.
“Yes, we will need to return immediately,” Homme Fatale said.
Majestic Hero nodded his head. “It looks like they had planned for some time since they picked this time to attack the Fallen Angels. I can assign some people to you guys. We got our problems to handle, but it is not an issue to allocate ten thousand people to assist.”
“Much appreciated.”
Homme Fatale suddenly turned his back and had a slight smile on his face.
“No need to trouble the Four Great Leagues first, since League Master has already led a team to handle that. He says, if those people wanted to attack, let’s not stop them.”
“…”
The people in the surroundings wondered, “It looks like the Fallen Angels has some plans… Or maybe… maybe Qin Ruo wants the Fallen Angels to fight ten Leagues alone at the same time?”
