Chapter 1 A Village Devastated

After about thirty minutes, a group of about thirty top players from the Niuren Tribe arrived at the village. It was a scene of utter devastation. A large number of Greenland Empire players lay dead on the ground. One or two Greenland Empire NPCs were also killed without a doubt.

This was obviously the work of evil, lawful players, as the Greenland and Saturn Empire players would never kill NPCs.

The cold wind howled through the village, stirring up dust, making it desolate and bleak.

"Report the situation here to Guo Huai."

"Okay."

Soon, Guo Huai received the message from them. He keenly realized that this matter was not simple. To clear out an entire village, including NPCs and players, would require at least a team, and a top-tier team at that.

Such a group of people in the Abernathy Grassland was not a good thing.

Guo Huai immediately sent people to investigate this group, including finding the players killed by Blood Demon and the others, and questioning them for details.

Over the next few days, he received message after message. Fifteen villages had been attacked in succession, and at least three hundred NPCs and more than seven thousand players had died at their hands.

After clarifying the situation, Guo Huai immediately sent a message to Nie Yan through his game pod.

"What's up?" Nie Yan asked. Guo Huai knew that if he was in the dark world, he wouldn't send him a message unless it was important.

"Recently, a group of Moyi Tribe people have appeared in the Abernathy Grassland. There are sixty of them, all Silver Wings. They have raided fifteen villages and killed at least seven thousand players and three hundred NPCs," Guo Huai said, about to send all the information he had to Nie Yan.

Before Guo Huai could finish, Nie Yan immediately thought of something and asked in surprise, "Is it the Blood Demon Knights?"

Guo Huai was taken aback and asked, "How did you know?"

"Those guys are quite famous. I didn't expect them to come to the surface." In fact, Nie Yan rarely paid attention to things in the underground world, but the Blood Demon Knights were too famous in his previous life, which was why Nie Yan had such a deep impression of them.

He remembered that when the Blood Demon Knights were rampant and unbridled in his previous life, Nie Yan was only around level 130. At that time, the Greenland Empire already had many top-tier professional players, about sixty or seventy. The Silver Wings on the Moyi Tribe side were only around five or six hundred. A small Blood Demon Knights, with only sixty people, actually had sixty Silver Wings, which was truly frightening.

In addition to all being Silver Wings, their cooperation was extremely tacit, and their tactics were strange, opening the eyes of the Greenland Empire players. Many top-tier professional players in the Greenland Empire encountered them and fell into their hands.

They stayed on the border between the Greenland Empire and the Saturn Empire for more than two months, killing an astonishing number of players, reaching hundreds of thousands. Any player who accidentally encountered them was killed. Later, the Greenland Empire organized about twenty top-tier professionals, wanting to fight them to the death. In the end, they retreated after five people died, only killing two of the enemy. At the time, this was regarded as a great humiliation by the Greenland Empire players. Later, top-tier professionals on the Saturn Empire side also suffered at their hands.

The top-tier players of the Greenland Empire and the Saturn Empire besieged them for more than a month, but still achieved no results. Later, the two sides had to cooperate. Seventy top-tier professionals, supported by a large number of players from more than a dozen guilds, finally found the location of the Blood Demon Knights, and the two sides engaged in a decisive battle. The Greenland Empire and the Saturn Empire lost seven top-tier professionals, while the Blood Demon Knights lost sixteen. The Blood Demon Knights suffered some setbacks and finally retreated back to the underground.

Although the battle was won, such a victory was a bit unspeakable for the top-tier professional players who participated.

Although Silver Wings were considered top-tier professionals in the Moyi Tribe, their weight was different from that of the top-tier professional players in the Greenland Empire and the Saturn Empire. In terms of talent, the Silver Wings were not at all a match for the top-tier professional players in the Greenland Empire and the Saturn Empire. For the battle to turn out like this, the top-tier professional players in the Greenland Empire and the Saturn Empire did not consider it a victory, so they all felt very embarrassed.

After this battle, although defeated, the Blood Demon Knights became famous, known as the number one team in the world. No team could compete with them.

It was said that the Blood Demon Knights were established by a player named Blood Demon. The people who joined the team were old brothers who had played virtual games with him for decades. Their average age was over forty. They had no interest in establishing a guild, but only formed a studio to make money. Their way of making money was very aggressive, which was to hunt down master-level players, explode equipment from their bodies, and then sell it for money. It was said that many guilds had suffered at their hands. Zhong Shen, Angel Descent, and Angel Hegemony, they didn't care what guild the other party belonged to when they wanted to rob them. They killed when they wanted to kill. Although they had been besieged many times, they still escaped calmly. The guilds that besieged them were instead subjected to even more severe retaliation. After several incidents, several major guilds did not dare to provoke the Blood Demon Knights. As long as the Blood Demon Knights didn't go too far, they would turn a blind eye. After all, provoking these players was too terrible.

The Blood Demon Knights had come to the surface. Nie Yan immediately felt the pressure on his shoulders increase. His guild had a total of twenty-one top-tier professionals. It would be a bit difficult to expel the Blood Demon Knights, but he couldn't let the Blood Demon Knights be unbridled in their territory. Where would they put their faces?

But these guys were well-informed, came and went without a trace, and were difficult to catch. Moreover, they were incredibly strong and extremely difficult to deal with, completely different from those he had encountered before. The Moyi Tribe had many strange tactics that were difficult to defend against. It was easy to suffer at their hands if they were not careful. If a decisive battle occurred, it would be a loss if there were casualties.

Nie Yan frowned. They had no way to avoid it.

"What are they doing now?" Nie Yan whispered to Guo Huai.

"They are currently heading towards the Saturn Empire." Guo Huai said. He looked at the newly acquired information and breathed a sigh of relief. Nie Yan and the others were in the dark world. If such a group of people had been in the Abernathy Grassland, he would definitely have had trouble sleeping and eating. Now that the group had gone to the Saturn Empire to harm Angel Hegemony, Guo Huai couldn't help but feel a little schadenfreude. He wanted to see what Angel Hegemony would do!

"Pay attention to their movements. If they return to the Abernathy Grassland, give me a message immediately. Let the members below rush to become top-tier professionals!" Nie Yan said. Compared to the Blood Demon Knights, the Niuren Tribe didn't have enough top-tier professionals.

According to his previous life's experience, these Blood Demon Knights guys would not return to the underground if they didn't suffer some setbacks. Because they killed players from the Greenland Empire and the Saturn Empire on the surface, not only did they not have any sin value, but they also received a lot of experience and respect rewards every day. It only took two days for their red names to disappear. They could sell the equipment they obtained through various channels. In addition to these, they could also obtain extremely high military ranks. After reaching the level of Ten Thousand Man Commander, in order to prevent their military ranks from dropping, they had to maintain a certain number of kills every day. If they killed people more brutally, they would have the opportunity to advance to Warlord and High-Ranking Warlord. After reaching Warlord and High-Ranking Warlord, they could also buy a set of sub-legendary and legendary equipment for each person.

After tasting the sweetness, they became addicted to staying on the surface for a while.

If they didn't drive the Blood Demon Knights back to the underground, they would come to the Abernathy Grassland sooner or later. If the Niuren Tribe kept hiding and didn't take action, they would be considered afraid to fight. They would only become more arrogant.

"I sent some thieves to follow them from afar. If there are no accidents, they shouldn't lose their target." Guo Huai said. Of course, such dangerous elements had to be monitored as much as possible.

"Let them follow from a distance, at least one hundred and fifty yards away, otherwise it will be dangerous. The group of people they are following is not simple." Nie Yan said. He had heard many legends about the Blood Demon Knights in his previous life and had a general understanding of their strength.

He still had to stay in the dark world for a while. With the Blood Demon Knights as a hidden danger, they had to rush back as soon as possible. Without a top-tier professional player in the guild, it was easy for uncontrollable situations to occur.

"Boss, should we rush back?" Immortal Undead had also heard about the Blood Demon Knights and asked in the team chat.

"No, stay here first. There's no use in rushing now!" Nie Yan shook his head. The Blood Demon Knights were definitely the most skilled group of people at the moment. They had to improve their strength as soon as possible so that they wouldn't suffer when they encountered the Blood Demon Knights.

Everyone was a little worried about the situation in Okoron City, but when they heard Nie Yan's words, they calmed down and continued to grind monsters.

"Speed up the progress!" Nie Yan said. He was a little depressed that it seemed that he would not be able to complete this quest for a long time. He really couldn't wait that long.

For now, he could only take it one step at a time.

While Nie Yan and the others were grinding monsters in the dark world, they were also paying attention to the situation outside. The Blood Demon Knights went around the Saturn Empire, even raiding two small towns. This group of people had become addicted to killing and were becoming more and more daring.

Angel Hegemony and the Century Financial Group naturally wouldn't sit idly by and watch the Blood Demon Knights be so arrogant. They sent out a large number of troops to intercept them. However, it seemed that several encirclements were known in advance. Not only did they fail, but they were also given a heavy counterattack.

This situation reminded Nie Yan of the situation in his previous life. The Blood Demon Knights must also have internal connections in the Greenland Empire and the Saturn Empire, otherwise they wouldn't be so well-informed. Moreover, they definitely needed some channels to sell the equipment they obtained. No one would want to buy it if they sold it to players in the underground. They definitely had to sell it to players on the surface.

No wonder they dared to rampage so unscrupulously in the Greenland Empire and the Saturn Empire!
