Chapter 1381 - Town Competition
As Shi Feng's battle video spread on the forums, the news shook Star-Moon Kingdom. The battle's outcome particularly affected the various major powers based in the kingdom.
Zero Wing's position as Star-Moon Kingdom's number one Guild had been unshakable, but no one had expected Heaven's Burial to rise so quickly. Red Iron Town's development had exceeded everyone's expectations.
Although players understood that Red Iron Town would develop quickly due to its Auction House, they hadn't expected this level of speed.
In just one day, the cheap fees had lured over 300,000 players to consign and purchase items in Red Iron Town's Auction House. Many super-rare items had even been placed on auction, attracting more independent experts and members of the various large Guilds. At this point, the town's Auction House was far more popular than those in ordinary NPC cities.
If Red Iron Town's Auction House continued to develop at this rate, it wouldn't be long before it rivaled Star-Moon City's Auction House. Heaven's Burial's income from processing fees alone would be astronomical.
Heaven's Burial's financial strength might even grow to rival, or even surpass, Zero Wing.
Rather than a single party ruling over the kingdom, Star-Moon Kingdom's various powers would prefer two powerful forces vying for lordship. This way, weaker powers like themselves could thrive in secret. However, after witnessing Shi Feng exterminate so many powerful Evil Demons, they were at a loss.
"Not only is Black Flame powerful, but he even has a long-distance teleportation tool! This is ludicrous!"
"Heaven's Burial will be in trouble after losing so many Evil Demons. I've heard that these Evil Demons are incredibly difficult to nurture. Since Black Flame can also teleport over long distances, Heaven's Burial will find it much more difficult to cause trouble in Stone Forest Town."
"That's right! Some players had given up on Stone Forest Town thanks to the Evil Demons, but now that Black Flame has devastated their numbers, Heaven's Burial won't attack so casually in the future. People will start visiting Stone Forest Town again to train in the Battle Arena."
As the various major powers recovered from their shock of seeing Shi Feng's strength, Heaven's Burial's upper echelons, who were in the distant Frozen Scar, received the news.
"Guild Leader, the Ghost Shadow Legion has suffered grievous losses. Among the 600 members dispatched, less than 300 made it out alive. The Evil Demon army that Beast Emperor gave us suffered even greater losses. Of the two Grand Lords and dozen or so Great Lords we received, Black Flame killed them all…" Daybreak Fog reported, an ugly expression on her face.
The Ghost Shadow Legion was one of Heaven's Burial's trump card legions. Now that so many of its members had died, the lost weapons and equipment would burden the Guild's finances. Moreover, it would take quite some time to catch up those members' levels.
"I really underestimated Black Flame, but he won't be able to stay complacent for much longer. As long as we take down the Frost King, so what if Stone Forest Town recovers to its peak? Moreover, Beast Emperor has nearly completed his quest. Just ignore Zero Wing for now," Singular Burial said nonchalantly.
"I guess you're right. It's already too late for Zero Wing to do anything." Daybreak Fog giggled as she directed her gaze towards the giant on the frozen throne inside the shrine.
