TL Notes:
[1]Glimmering Sword:
Going by this chapters wording, it would seem that the author has forgotten that he had previously designated Glimmering Sword as Laura Craders nickname and has started to treat it as her actual ID?
(Im still not exactly sure about this. This will only be proven when her ID appears in a system announcement or something system-related.)
Black Flames level is already more than astonishing! Even someone who has grinded nonstop and without even going offline since the Miniature Ancient Worlds launch would, at best, match his level! But Level 120?! Who is this woman?!
Shock and confusion filled Liu Wusheng when he saw Glimmering Swords level.
Players would have their leveling speed plummet once they reached Level 100. Even the main force members of the various superpowers grinding in a map with abundant monsters would need two or three days to level up once.
Players leveling speed would fall by another notch once they reached Level 110 in the Miniature Ancient World. This was because monsters outside the Boundary Mountain Range would not exceed Level 120. Not to mention, the level suppression in the Miniature Ancient World was much stronger than on the main continent.
Overall, it should take at least another month of constant grinding for the various superpowers main force members to reach Level 120.
Yet, the woman with light-blue hair walking had already reached Level 120, essentially surpassing the various superpowers progress by a month.
Moreover, since Glimmering Sword had already reached Level 120, it meant that she could start exploring the core region of the Boundary Mountain Ranges underground area and challenge her Tier 4 promotion!
How many secrets is Black Flame hiding? Galaxy Past was similarly shocked when he looked at Glimmering Sword.
In the eyes of the average player, reaching Level 120 might not seem like a big deal. After all, it was only a difference of several levels.
However, as the former Guild Leader of a first-rate Guild, Galaxy Past understood the significance of reaching Level 120. Glimmering Swords appearance would definitely change the current status quo in the Miniature Ancient World.
This was because reaching Level 120 meant that Glimmering Sword could get promoted to Tier 4 before all other players.
Meanwhile, so long as Glimmering Sword reached Tier 4, the Asura Mercenary Alliance would have an overwhelming advantage over the other powers. At that time, the mercenary alliance could monopolize the various resources available in the Boundary Mountain Range, and not even the Five Great Super Guilds would dare to have an opinion about it.
Aside from Liu Wusheng and Galaxy Past, Crimson Heart from Hundred Flower Palace was similarly shocked to see Glimmering Sword. In fact, the degree of shock she experienced was even greater than Liu Wusheng and Galaxy Past.
Didnt they say that the Stratified Abyssal Realms natives couldnt leave the Stratified Abyssal Realm? Confusion filled Crimson Hearts mind as she looked at Glimmering Sword.
After living in the Stratified Abyssal Realm for ten days, Crimson Heart had already gained a good understanding of the situation there.
There was no question that the Stratified Abyssal Realms players possessed combat standards far surpassing the players of their Gods Domain. In fact, just the experts in Slumber City were more than enough to trample over the entire Miniature Ancient World.
After learning about the strength of the Stratified Abyssal Realms players, Crimson Heart had naturally thought of recruiting some of these experts and bringing them to the Miniature Ancient World.
However, after looking through all available information, she came to the conclusion that none of the Stratified Abyssal Realms native players could leave. Although there was a rumor mentioning that there might be a way to do so at the Dark Sanctuary, that was only a rumor that had never been verified.
Hence, Crimson Heart couldnt even begin to fathom what means Shi Feng had used to actually be able to bring players out of the Stratified Abyssal Realm.
Meanwhile, after being in shock for a brief moment, Crimson Heart couldnt help but shudder in excitement. This was because she could already foresee the Miniature Ancient Worlds power structure undergoing a thorough change. At the end of these changes, the Five Great Super Guilds and the transcendental powers Secret Pavilion and Flower of Seven Sins would likely become history.
These two here are Commander Glimmering Sword and Commander Echoing Judgment, Shi Feng said, briefly introducing Laura Crader and Echoing Judgment to the others in the room. They will be joining Asura from today on. Each of them will also hold an administrative seat in Asura.
Glimmering Sword and Echoing Judgment nodded and proceeded to do a brief self-introduction before taking a seat at the table.
Despite Shi Feng abruptly announcing that Glimmering Sword and Echoing Judgment would each occupy an administrative seat in Asura, nobody present objected to the decision or found it unfair. This was because the levels of Glimmering Sword and Echoing Judgment had already mentioned a lot of things. There was also a high likelihood that the two had come from the so-called Zero Wing behind Shi Feng.
At this point, it was already very obvious that the Asura Mercenary Alliance was an auxiliary power of Zero Wing. So, Zero Wing naturally had the authority to decide which power could join and hold an administrative seat in the mercenary alliance.
Not to mention, the stronger the Asura Mercenary Alliance became, the more beneficial it would be for the powers tied to Asura.
Lets start discussing our subsequent actions, then, Shi Feng said after seeing that everyone was seated. Now that we have already declared an all-out war against the Flower of Seven Sins, we naturally have to do something to show for it. To ensure that we can make the Flower of Seven Sins truly feel the effects of our declaration of war, I plan to eliminate the Flower of Seven Sins main force in the Boundary Mountain Range.
The main force of any power was the product of spending an astronomical amount of resources. A powers main force was usually responsible for raiding challenging monsters and exploring dangerous areas to secure advantages for the power they belonged to.
Meanwhile, the death of even one main force member was enough to cause a powers heart to bleed. If a powers entire main force got wiped out, it would significantly impact the powers future development.
Eliminate the Flower of Seven Sins main force?
Liu Wusheng and Galaxy Past were stunned by Shi Fengs words.
Guild Leader Black Flame, isnt this too crazy? Hurriedly, Liu Wusheng said, The Flower of Seven Sins main force is currently being led by the Sin of Gluttonys commander. In addition, the several great alliances have already monopolized the second underground level. With Asuras current strength, we probably cant even get past the second levels entrance, let alone enter the second level to target the Flower of Seven Sins main force...
Due to the Boundary Mountain Ranges unique environment, the quantity of experts had become much more important than quality.
Moreover, because the Flower of Seven Sins main force operated in the Boundary Mountain Ranges second underground level, theyd have to reach the second underground level before they could eliminate the Flower of Seven Sins main force. However, the various great alliances had already monopolized the second underground level. The average alliance couldnt even get close to it, let alone the Asura Mercenary Alliance.
I agree. After Blackwater and World Dominators withdrawal, Asura only has a few thousand Refinement Realm experts remaining. Even if we invest all of them into the Boundary Mountain Range, it still wouldnt be enough to go up against the Flower of Seven Sins several tens of thousands of Refinement Realm experts... Galaxy Past said.
If Blackwater and World Dominators hadnt withdrawn from the Asura Mercenary Alliance, Asura might have had the ability to clash against the alliance formed by the Flower of Seven Sins. However, with the situation as it was, Asura had no hope of contending against the Flower of Seven Sins. Not to mention, the bounty the Flower of Seven Sins had put on Asura was still in effect.
It might be a little crazy, but we arent without a chance, Shi Feng said as he looked at Liu Wusheng and Galaxy Past. I dont plan on mobilizing a large number of Refinement Realm experts. Instead, well be sneaking into the second underground level with only a 100-man team. So long as we are fast enough, we can enter the second level before the great alliances can react.
Sneak in with only a 100-man team? Liu Wusheng frowned when he heard Shi Fengs plan. The several great alliances might not have formed a blockade yet, and we can indeed move quickly in a 100-man team, but well have difficulty breaking through if we come across a 1,000-man team. If we get held down for too long, well only get surrounded and killed...
Galaxy Past nodded in agreement, thinking that Shi Fengs plan was too crazy. Shi Feng might be a God-ranked expert, but the several great alliances similarly had God-ranked experts guarding the entrance to the second underground level. So, the Asura Mercenary Alliance had no advantages over the great alliances.
Since Guild Leader Black Flame has already said so, Hundred Flower Palace is willing to participate in this operation, Crimson Heart suddenly said.
Mysterious Moon is also willing to send players for this operation, Zhuo Yalin said, albeit somewhat reluctantly.
Similar to Liu Wusheng and Galaxy Past, Zhuo Yalin also felt that Shi Fengs plan carried great risk. One unexpected encounter could easily result in the dispatched experts being wiped out. However, Lin Yaoyue, who stood next to her, had urged her to agree to the plan, so she decided to trust her friends judgment.
Meanwhile, Liu Wusheng and Galaxy Past couldnt help but grow confused when they saw Hundred Flower Palace and Mysterious Moon agreeing to Shi Fengs crazy plan. They couldnt understand why the two Guilds were so confident in Zero Wing. After all, the operation involved them entering a lions den filled with tens of thousands of Refinement Realm experts. This simply wasnt a force the current Asura Mercenary Alliance could go up against.
Fine. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. The Star Alliance is also willing to participate, Galaxy Past said, gritting his teeth.
Hed be lying if he said he wasnt interested in gaining access to the Boundary Mountain Ranges second underground level. After all, the second underground level held crucial information pertaining to the Tier 4 promotion. Since Zero Wing, Hundred Flower Palace, and Mysterious Moon were willing to take the risk, the Star Alliance naturally couldnt shrink back.
It seems Im going to have to work these old bones again. Witchs Sin is also willing to join, Liu Wusheng said, sighing deeply.
