"Not give them a chance?" Bai Qingxue grew curious.
Over three hundred thousand elite guild members were gathered near Stone Forest Town. Among them, the Star River Alliance had seventy thousand, and Snake of the Body was a step behind with only fifty thousand elites. Even if their two guilds joined forces, there was nothing they could do about the remaining guilds. That was why a fragile peace had settled over the area—no one dared provoke anyone else.
But the moment one guild launched an attack on Stone Forest Town, the commotion would be too enormous to ignore. Nobody would just stand by and let someone else seize the town. They would band together to wipe out the aggressor first. That was precisely why even the mighty Star River Alliance, with all its numbers, didn't dare make a move.
Now Shi Feng was telling him they could deny every other guild a chance and take Stone Forest Town directly.
How was that possible?
The NPCs inside were level fifty-five and sixty, including many Tier 2 NPCs. A level sixty Tier 2 NPC was far more powerful than a level thirty Great Lord, and there was more than one of them. On top of that, there was Sereya, the Great Chief who commanded massive destructive magic.
Fifty thousand elites from Snake of the Body charging in would face a brutal fight, and it was far from certain they could even capture the town in the end.
"That's right—no chances for them." Shi Feng nodded. "When the time comes, everyone just needs to clear the NPCs in the town as fast as possible. Leave the rest to me."
In his previous life, Shi Feng had captured many towns and knew the process inside and out.
For a guild to fully take control of a town was no easy task.
First, every single NPC in the town had to be eliminated. Not one could remain.
Second, you had to obtain the token of the NPC that guarded the town.
Only after completing both steps did you truly gain the right to claim the town. That was why it was incredibly difficult to seize a town when you had a multitude of competitors.
Even in Shi Feng's previous life, after the allocation of interests around Stone Fang Mountains had been decided, no guild had managed to capture Stone Forest Town.
But this life was a little different. Right now, the top players and level thirty members of every major guild were concentrated at Stone Fang Mountains, which created a sliver of opportunity. And time was extremely tight—only one hour, because running from Stone Fang Mountains to Stone Forest Town took over an hour on foot. With a mount it would only take half an hour. Fortunately, none of them had reached level forty yet, which bought them a bit more time.
"Are you planning to hold off every single guild by yourself?" Bai Qingxue was stunned, completely unable to believe Shi Feng could pull that off. That was over two hundred and fifty thousand elite guild members. How could one person possibly stop them?
Everyone inside the tent was equally shocked by what Shi Feng had said.
They had long known he was crazy. But they hadn't expected him to be this crazy.
Nearby, Huo Wu and Shuise Qiangwei were visibly shaken as well, though they quickly exchanged bitter smiles. While they didn't doubt Shi Feng could escape from two hundred and fifty thousand elite players, the idea of him holding off that many elites to keep them from interfering with their assault on Stone Forest Town seemed utterly impossible. Yet Shi Feng had a track record of delivering on his word up to this point—otherwise he wouldn't have said it.
One person holding off two hundred and fifty thousand elite guild members.
Just thinking about it sent chills down the spine.
"Don't worry—it's perfectly safe. But whether we succeed depends on how fast you can clear the NPCs," Shi Feng said with conviction.
He then issued orders to Huo Wu and Shuise Qiangwei. Huo Wu would command the main raid team, while Shuise Qiangwei would lead the Black God Legion. As for Bai Qingxue and her people, they were still hesitating.
"Qingxue, are you really going to go crazy alongside Guild Leader Black Flame?" Zhao Yueru whispered privately.
Bai Qingxue drew a deep breath, and a resolute, cold light flashed in her eyes. "We have no choice. The Star River Alliance grows stronger by the day, while we keep getting entangled with other guilds. If this goes on, they'll leave us behind sooner or later. When that happens, Snake of the Body will be in an even worse position."
After that, Bai Qingxue began organizing her guild members and preparing them for battle.
Shi Feng did not rush into action. His first step was to gather intelligence on every major guild, especially their main raid teams.
Just before the operation began, Shi Feng used the Dark Bible to summon a Tier 2 demon. He then waited another three hours to summon a second Tier 2 demon.
Two level thirty-five Tier 2 demons stood side by side like a pair of mountains.
Tier 2 demons were equivalent to Lord-tier monsters. Having two level thirty-five Lord-tier monsters as backup was a tremendous morale boost.
"So Black Flame had this kind of trump card too. No wonder he dared say he could hold off the other guilds by himself." Bai Qingxue looked at the two powerful Tier 2 demons and suddenly understood.
An ordinary Tier 2 demon would already pose a serious headache for a hundred-man elite squad. But a Tier 2 demon controlled by a player? That was far more terrifying. Forget a hundred-man squad—even a thousand-man squad could be wiped out. Two of them working together would multiply the effect, and they could certainly create a meaningful obstacle for the other guilds.
