Chapter 1375 - Display of Strength

Star-Moon City region, in one of the forested valleys in the Stoneclaw Mountains…

A fleet of carriages rolled along the gravel road as it passed through the valley . From the top of a mountain, one could easily spot over 50 carriages . Among them, the most inferior carriage was an Advanced Transport Carriage pulled by two horses . Meanwhile, the carriages carried all sorts of large crates containing rare merchandise to be sold in Stone Forest Town .

Due to Stone Forest Town's Adventurer's Association, the town had attracted far more wandering merchants . Moreover, Saimu Town was no longer the only town connected to Stone Forest Town . A total of three towns now had roads leading to the Guild town . However, the two new trade routes weren't as lively as the road linked to Saimu Town since the other two towns were further away .

Regardless, due to the increase of wandering merchants traveling to Stone Forest Town, the three NPC towns began to receive more high-rank escort quests .

Although escort quests did not award a lot of EXP, they did offer plenty of Coins . To independent players, these quests offered a considerable income . Moreover, players who just so happen to plan on heading to Stone Forest Town could rake in some additional income while they were at it, killing two birds with one stone .

However, such a profitable opportunity was not available to everyone as escort quests had a minimum strength requirement . Moreover, the larger a merchant fleet was, the higher the requirements were . As for how these NPC merchants determined if a player were strong enough, said player would be required to spar with the fleet's NPC guards . The Main God System would automatically lower the guard's strength to the standard of elite players at this stage of the game . If the player defeated the NPC guards, they could accept the escort quest .

If a player wanted to become the merchant fleet's vice leader, receiving greater pay, they needed to defeat an NPC guard adjusted to the standard of current expert players .

In the Stonclaw Mountains' valley, over a hundred players accompanied this merchant fleet . Even without t the NPC guards' aid, the escort players easily defeated any monsters the fleet came across . Even monster groups led by a Level 45 Great Lord were no match for these players .

"Commander, are we really going to buy a private house in Stone Forest Town this time?" a gray-robed woman with long, crimson hair asked the man with disheveled hair seated next to her in one of the Transport Carriages .

This charming woman's question quickly attracted the attention of the other players in the carriage .





These players weren't only focused on the woman because of her beauty . Rather, it was because this woman was a Level 43 Summoner . She was also the vice commander of Firecloud Fox, a well-known adventurer team from the Black Dragon Empire, and one of the empire's top 100 Summoners .


Graceful Moon!

Many of the Black Dragon Empire's large Guilds wanted to recruit Graceful Moon . Unfortunately, none of them had ever succeeded .

As for the disheveled, cool-looking man, his identity was even more astounding . His name was Remnant Cloud, the Firecloud Fox's commander . Similarly, he was one of the top 100 Shield Warriors within the empire . It was due to such a powerful MT that Firecloud Fox had grown into a large-scale adventurer team with over 500 members and a reputation known throughout the Black Dragon Empire .

"I plan to look around first . If Stone Forest Town is as impressive as the rumors make it out to be, buying a house wouldn't be a bad idea," Remnant Cloud said, chuckling .

Stone Forest Town was considerably famous in the Black Dragon Empire . One of the main reasons for its popularity was the Battle Arena .

Recently, quite a few experts had earned themselves a spot among the top 100 on the Black Dragon Empire's various class ranking lists . After some research, many other players discovered that these newcomers shared one similarity; they all trained in Stone Forest Town's Battle Arena . Moreover, these players' ranks in the empire continued to rise .

Because of this, Stone Forest Town's Battle Arena had become quite popular in the Black Dragon Empire .

To improve his team members' strength, Remnant Cloud had decided to make the trip and investigate the town himself .

"Commander, it's fine if you just want to look around, but if you decide to purchase a private house, I suggest otherwise . I've heard that a war has recently broken out between Zero Wing and Heaven's Burial, and the latter seems to have the advantage . Furthermore, Heaven's Burial's Red Iron Town has more potential . Not only are there plenty of high-level and high-resource maps nearby, but players will also be able to use Evernight City as a transfer point between the Guild's other towns in the future . Investing in Red Iron Town will be more convenient than investing in Stone Forest Town .





"As for the Battle Arena, currently, other Guilds have already begun to construct Battle Arenas in their own towns . It is only a matter of time before they catch up with Stone Forest Town's Battle Arena . "

Graceful Moon did not view Stone Forest Town's future in a particularly positive light . In her opinion, the town only had a few minor advantages at the moment . However, as time passed, the various large Guilds' towns in the Black Dragon Empire would undoubtedly catch up . After all, the Black Dragon Empire was far more prosperous than Star-Moon Kingdom .

Even if their adventurer team wanted to purchase a private house in Star-Moon Kingdom, considering their long-term development, purchasing a house in Red Iron Town was the wiser choice .


"I guess you're right . But since we're already here, let's go take a look . " After giving the matter some thought, Remnant Cloud saw the reasoning in Graceful Moon's words . Various Guild towns were already prioritizing their Battle Arenas . As for the Mana density, these Guilds were doing their best to find solutions . They would deal with the problem sooner or later .

While Graceful Moon and Remnant Cloud conversed, they heard a commotion in the forest on both sides of the gravel road . Suddenly, easily over a thousand pitch-black figures darted out of the dense woods . Not only did these figures block the merchant fleet's path, but they had also surrounded the carriages .

Upon seeing these monsters, the escorting players prepared for battle .

These monsters were nothing like the wild monsters they had faced on the road thus far . Every one of these monsters radiated a frightening aura, their eyes containing human-like wisdom . Moreover, their levels were shockingly high .

These monsters were all Level 70, roughly 25 levels higher than the monsters the merchant fleet had previously encountered .

"How is this possible? Didn't they say that these Evil Demons only assaulted passing players? Why are they targeting the merchant fleets?"

Some escort players from Star-Moon Kingdom recognized the Evil Demons immediately . After all, they had seen these Evil Demons siege Stone Forest Town . These monsters' attacks on Stone Forest Town's players was nothing new, either .

What surprised these players was that these Evil Demons actually dared to assault an NPC fleet .





Aside from the escort players, a large number of NPC guards protected the merchant fleet . Each one of these guards was Level 80, and among them were three Tier 3 guards, over 60 Tier 2 guards, and over a hundred Tier 1 guards . They were not existences current players could easily defeat .

Before these players could recover from their shock, the Evil Demons surged forward .

"Hahaha! Go! Destroy the merchandise!" Ghost Shadow, hiding amongst the trees, laughed as he watched his legion surround the merchant fleet .

To ensure the fleet's destruction, Heaven's Burial had dispatched the Ghost Shadow Legion's elites, and Beast Emperor had sent them an Evil Demon army to assist . Two Level 70, Grand Lord ranked Evil Demons led the army . Given enough time, they could certainly eliminate the NPC merchant fleet .

Although the Evil Demons' levels were lower than the NPCs, they had the numerical advantage . Moreover, they didn't' need to kill the NPCs; their goal was simply to kill the players and destroy the cargo .

"Damn it! Why are there so many powerful monsters?!" Graceful Moon's eyebrows rose in surprise .

Not only did the Level 70 Chieftain ranked Evil Demons easily defeat her summoned creatures, but they also dodged her Spirit Bullets . If not for Remnant Cloud activating a Berserk Skill and Lifesaving Skill to hold the Evil Demons back, the monsters would've long since closed in on her .

The other players weren't as lucky . Despite the battle beginning only a brief moment ago, over a dozen players had already died…

On this kind of battlefield, these players were utterly useless . They were slaughtered like ants .

"Moon, get out of here! I'll hold them back!" Remnant Cloud barked . He could tell that only death awaited them should they stay . They couldn't win a battle of this level .

"But…" Although Graceful Moon wanted to argue, when she saw a High Lord overwhelm her commander, she took out an Instantaneous Movement Scroll and activated it .

"A futile struggle!" Ghost Shadow growled disdainfully when he noticed several players removing Instantaneous Movement Scrolls from their bags .

Before they had taken action, he had used a tool Beast Emperor had given him to seal the area, making it impossible for players to escape via Return Scrolls or Instantaneous Movement Scrolls .

"Why did it fail?" Graceful Moon's expression darkened when she realized that she was still on the battlefield even after the Instantaneous Movement Scroll had disintegrated .

As for Remnant Cloud, despite barely holding on thanks to a healer's help, it would only be a matter of minutes before he died as more Evil Demons descended on their prey .

When Remnant Cloud had less than 20% HP remaining, a Great Lord ranked Evil Demon circled the man, swinging its claws at the Shield Warrior . Remnant Cloud was already doing everything he could to block the Evil Demons' attacks from the front . He did not have any spare power to protect his back .

"Commander!" Graceful Moon gasped .

"Am I going to die, just like this?" Remnant Cloud understood that there was no escaping death when he noticed the Great Lord behind him .

Suddenly, a spatial tear appeared between Remnant Cloud and the Evil Demon, and a figure leaped onto the battlefield . However, despite the spatial tear's abrupt appearance, the Evil Demon's attack did not falter in the least .

"Be careful!" Remnant Cloud shouted . He could faintly tell that the figure behind him was a player .

Unfortunately, only three yards separated this figure and the Evil Demon . Not even an expert could react in time to block such an unexpected attack from a Great Lord with so little distance between them .

However, when the Evil Demon's claws were less than one yard away from the newcomer, a blue glow blossomed on the Evil Demon's body .

Like a cannonball, the Great Lord ranked Evil Demon shot backward, crossing a dozen yards before crashing into a large tree . A second after the impact, the towering tree fell to the ground . As for the figure that emerged from the spatial tear, he remained where he had stood, his calm composure making it seem as if nothing had happened…
