Chapter 295: Chapter 294: The Four Major Guilds, Battle for White Emperor City!
Guilds like Dragon Clan, Dragon Soar, Demon God, and Wealth.
It wasn't surprising to encounter these major guilds' rising stars in the Twelfth World.
After all, their leveling resources and developmental standards far surpassed those of ordinary players and guilds.
From the moment they stepped into the Otherworld, they were equipped with top-tier gear.
Moreover, their strategy typically followed a pyramid-style advancement model.
When their guild's newcomers entered a new world, half of them served as support, assisting the other half in monster hunting, leveling up, and completing world missions.
This ensured that the supported group could advance to the next world as quickly as possible.
Then, in the next world, the same strategy would repeat, dividing and supporting the team again.
Because of this, the ones who could match Zhang Yue's progress—or even surpass him to reach the Twelfth World faster—would undoubtedly be the best of the best among these guilds' rising stars.
Looking around, there were approximately a thousand players from these guilds combined, fighting ferociously against each other.
All of them were Level 70, third-tier, fully equipped with top-tier 8-9 star gold gear. Their skills were all at least A-rank or S-rank.
It was hard to imagine: such a strong group of players fighting so intensely without a single casualty.
From the beginning to the end, not one flash of white light signaled a death.
This was because the top-tier guilds of Dragon City had all signed the War Pact.
According to the War Pact's clauses: all guilds that signed the pact were allowed to engage in PvP in the Otherworld, but killing was strictly prohibited.
PvP was allowed so that the guilds' top players could improve their combat skills by fighting against each other.
Killing was forbidden because they all shared one common identity:
They were all citizens of Dragon Nation.
Weapons should point outward, not inward.
As a result, everyone on the battlefield had activated their Blood Lock Protection Mode.
Clause Eight of the War Pact stated: In a PvP arena, if a player's health dropped to one point, they must immediately withdraw from the battle.
Violators would face expulsion from their guild.
Clearly, White Emperor City was a coveted prize, which led to this fierce competition among the four guilds.
At the moment, Dragon Clan held the upper hand, suppressing the other three guilds.
After all, as the nation's recognized number-one guild, their strength was undeniably top-notch.
Dragon Soar's guild leader, Dragon Soars Thousands of Miles, and Demon God's guild leader, Demon Emperor, began privately analyzing the situation.
"This Dragon Clan is too fierce. Are these guys even human? They're terrifying! Brother Wanli, how about we join forces and take them down first?"
"What about the deal to rely on our own strength? Teaming up isn't fair. Dragon Soar Guild will never stoop to your Demon God's level."
Demon Emperor: "Once we take White Emperor City, we'll split the energy cores 40-60. We get 40; you get 60."
Dragon Soars Thousands of Miles: "Energy cores don't matter much. I just suddenly realized Dragon Clan's recent momentum has indeed been too strong. They do need to be suppressed. Alright, may our cooperation be fruitful!"
Having said this, Dragon Soars Thousands of Miles and Demon Emperor turned their gaze toward Wealth Guild's leader, Wealth Heartthrob.
"Miss Heartthrob, care to join us?"
Level 70 epic Moonlight Mage Wealth Heartthrob glanced at Dragon Soars Thousands of Miles and Demon Emperor. "Go away! Who wants to cooperate with two shameless old rogues like you?"
"Our Wealth Guild has always upheld fairness and justice."
"We'll rely on our strength to claim White Emperor City."
Hearing this, golden-armored warrior Demon Emperor stood confidently with a sword on his shoulder and mockingly declared: "Well, in that case, White Emperor City is as good as ours. Unless Zero shows up, none of you will get a piece of the energy cores today!"
As soon as he finished speaking—
Silver-armored archer Dragon Soars Thousands of Miles suddenly pointed behind him, wide-eyed in shock. "Holy crap! Zero!"
Everyone, including Demon Emperor and Wealth Heartthrob, turned to look in the direction he was pointing. Indeed, they saw a male Beast Tamer clad in a dazzling flowing robe and holding a radiant staff, strolling leisurely toward them.
That aura, that posture.
Who else could it be but Dragon Nation's newly crowned top player, Zero?
Seeing him approach, Demon Emperor's face froze. "Damn it! Did my mouth just summon him like magic?"
Meanwhile, Wealth Heartthrob, upon seeing Zhang Yue for the first time, felt her heart skip a beat.
As Zhang Yue drew closer—
Golden-armored warrior Demon Emperor hefted his sword, sizing Zhang Yue up, and boldly said, "Bro, I admit you're a bit stronger than me, and you're better looking, but this is Dragon City. I suggest you give our Demon God Guild some face and don't push your luck!"
On the side, Dragon Soars Thousands of Miles was astonished. "Wow! Talking the toughest while acting the weakest. Impressive!"
Zhang Yue smiled faintly, holding his staff. "I'm new here. Please show me the ropes."
"Isn't the rule in Dragon City 'might makes right'?"
"Indeed!"
Dragon Soars Thousands of Miles, unlike Demon Emperor, was genuinely bold. Facing Zhang Yue directly, he declared, "But can you handle the combined forces of Dragon City's four major guilds?"
At this moment, the fighting on the battlefield ceased.
Even Dragon Clan's leader, epic Dragon Rider One Promise City, approached, standing shoulder to shoulder with Dragon Soars Thousands of Miles and Demon Emperor.
"I've heard your strength has been recognized as the best among Dragon Nation's rising stars. I've wanted to spar with you for a while."
"Are you sure about that?" Zhang Yue looked at One Promise City and said, "You're version 1.0. I'm version 10.0."
"We're not even in the same league."
"Apologies, everyone, but I'll be taking White Emperor City today!"
With that, Zhang Yue raised his staff.
Except for Wealth Guild, which stayed out of the fray, all members of Dragon Clan, Dragon Soar, and Demon God Guild drew their weapons, ready to fight.
Tensions escalated, and the battlefield was on the brink of war.
Meanwhile, nearby onlookers gathered to witness the showdown, buzzing with discussion.
"Holy crap! It's Zero, the nation's number-one player."
"Is he planning to single-handedly challenge Dragon City's four major guilds?"
"Who do you think will claim White Emperor City?"
"It's gotta be Zero! Didn't you see how he crushed Eastern Nation in the World Finals?"
"Not necessarily! Eastern Nation's players can't compare to our nation's top-tier guild members. This time, Zero's opponents are Dragon City's finest."
"Let's wait and see. This will determine the true strongest in our nation!"
On the battlefield—
"Charge!"
With Dragon Soars Thousands of Miles' command, hundreds of elite Dragon Soar Guild members surged forward.
Dragon Clan and Demon God Guild members followed closely behind.
Nearly a thousand elite players from the three major guilds charged toward Zhang Yue like a tidal wave!
Zhang Yue stood his ground, calm and unhurried.
He raised his staff and pointed forward.
The next moment—
ROAR!
A deafening dragon's roar shattered the air as a mythical Thirty-Six Winged Armageddon Black Dragon tore through space, materializing above Zhang Yue.
