Winter nights always come earlier than other seasons. At just early five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun has moved to the westernmost edge of the vast sky and begins to gradually set in the west. Compared with noon, the remaining sunlight turns into a much more subtle orange-red color.
, dyed through the clouds, and shining all over the earth.
At this point in time, as always, more than 90% of the players in "God's Domain" have returned to the city one after another, preparing to face the dark night that will come at any time.
Of course, there must be players who plan to level up all night. For players in the Ascart Territory and Carlton Territory where the war is ongoing, they can also take on a task of guarding a supply point or patrolling to make full use of the long night, but this is always
Although it is a minority, the vast majority of people will still choose to spend time in the city, and large-scale battles are even less likely to occur.
However, at a leveling point about ten minutes outside of Flanders City in the Ascart Territory, a battle scene with a disparity of nearly a thousand people against one person suddenly formed.
Seeing these Hellfire Guild players who suddenly appeared in the field of vision without any warning and formed an encirclement, Ye Shang's face immediately darkened. He could tell from the Nighthawk he just killed that the Hellfire Guild attached great importance to him.
, but never expected to act so quickly.
It was as if Hellfire believed the rumor that Ye Shang was the "Night Dire" as soon as he heard it. After all, it takes time to verify and gather players.
However, Ye Shang could see that the equipment level of these Hellfire Guild players was not very high. Basically, they only had one or two gold-level equipment, and some did not even have gold-level equipment. It was only because of such a huge gap in the number of players.
Now, it seems that individual strength is not that important.
While Ye Shang was observing the Hellfire Guild players appearing in all directions, a male player in red armor also walked out of the encirclement and came to a position no more than ten yards away from him. For a thief in his forties with good equipment,
, this distance can be crossed in one second at most.
As for the identity of the male player in red armor, there is no need to think too much. He is the president of the Hellfire Guild and the current lord of the Ascart territory, Hellfire.
"Shangji, this should be our first official meeting, right?" Looking at Ye Shang, whose appearance did not remind anyone of "Night Dire", Hellfire used a more casual tone.
He said, with piercing eyes, as if he wanted to see through the hidden thief opposite.
"Would it be better to call it this? 'Night Dire'."
Hearing Hellfire's understatement, many Hellfire Guild players around him were suddenly shocked. You must know that they didn't know what they were going to do in advance. They were just notified of a guild action at short notice and were gathered together. But they didn't expect it.
It was Ye Shang's answer.
"Now that you know, why bother asking?" Ye Shang said calmly as he met Hellfire's gaze without any unnecessary reaction.
To admit it so straightforwardly, it doesn't mean that Ye Shang has made up his mind to leave the Ascart territory. In fact, he still doesn't know how to explain it to Lan. It's just that Hellfire will send high-end rogue players to follow him and bring nearly a thousand players with him.
The siege was obviously not something he could get away with by fooling around or thinking too much.
At the very least, the fact that Ye Shang is the "Night Dire" can no longer be concealed within the Ascart territory.
However, in fact, Hellfire was not as sure as Ye Shang thought that he was the "Night Dire", but he was sure that Ye Shang, that is, the "Scar" was not among the list of citizens of the Ascart Territory, plus
Bingyu suddenly looked up the territory list before going up, which naturally made him a little more confident.
Taking a step back, even if Ye Shang is not a "Night Dire" and is not a citizen of Ascart Territory, he will not have any problem if he is treated like this by Hellfire and even killed by force. Players who enter other territories privately are inherently
There are no human rights.
"Okay, very good. It seems that you are not a person who likes to procrastinate, so I will tell you straight away." Maybe he didn't expect Ye Shang to admit it so straightforwardly. Hellfire was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly smiled.
He stood up and said loudly, "Are you interested in working for me? With your ability, you will definitely have a lot to do here!"
After saying what he wanted to say the most, Hellfire stared at Ye Shang closely, obviously waiting or expecting a response. Unfortunately -
"Not interested." Ye Shang responded with the same straightforward answer without any hesitation. The expression on his face did not change at all due to Hellfire's words and expectations, and his tone was so calm that there was no trace of fluctuation.
, making people wonder whether he really thought through his brain.
"There's no need to answer in such a hurry, I can give you time." He must be unwilling to lose the possibility of recruiting Ye Shang, Hellfire looked a little anxious as he said.
"No need." Still without hesitation, Ye Shang no longer even paid attention to Hellfire's reaction. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. This answer and behavior undoubtedly completely eliminated the solicitation.
All possibilities, in other words, mean that negotiations have broken down.
But this result has been foreseeable for a long time. Ye Shang didn't even accept Yue Ye's solicitation, let alone Hell Fire, which was much lower than it.
It is indeed more than a step lower. Not to mention anything else, Hellfire and Moonlight are incomparable in terms of just soliciting olive branches. What's more, the two people are as meticulous as heaven and earth. The former is carried out openly in public.
, the latter chose to meet alone.
An assassin hiding in the dark and not being known is obviously not the same as being exposed to the sun, and the effect he plays is hundreds of blocks away.
Of course, even if he deliberately wanted to hide it, it was still a big question whether Yu Huo dared to meet Ye Shang alone. He might not have Yue Ye's courage and strength, otherwise he wouldn't have been hiding in the lord's hall after launching the war.
Instead of taking the lead to increase popularity as much as possible.
However, Hellfire didn't know that his recruitment was already doomed to be impossible. In his opinion, Ye Shang was the kind of person who refused to drink wine as a penalty.
"Since you said so, then don't blame me." He was no longer in a relaxed and carefree state, but suddenly became serious. Hellfire said in a deep voice while retreating outside the encirclement. He only wanted to recruit Ye Shang to do this in person.
When he came here, he didn't expect to get a bad blow, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
There is no doubt that Hellfire was giving Ye Shang an ultimatum, but the latter suddenly mentioned a seemingly unrelated matter for no reason.
"It will be night soon..." Looking up, Ye Shang seemed to be talking to himself or deliberately telling everyone around him to listen. He said softly. The expression on his face was not so much calm as that of calm.
Free and easy is more appropriate, it feels like you have made a decision in your heart.
Unfortunately, it is unclear what decision Ye Shang made.
"It's getting late at night, but you don't think I'll let you go after nightfall, do you?" He sneered, and Hellfire said nonchalantly. He thought Ye Shang was talking about the problem of monsters getting stronger after nightfall.
It is true that the enhancement of monsters and the emergence of special boss-level creatures will cause a lot of trouble for the players of the Hellfire Guild led by Hellfire who do not have high equipment and level levels. However, if Ye Shang is not killed now, he will undoubtedly be killed in the future.
It's rare to find such a great opportunity.
Don’t forget, Ye Shang is also a thief, and wetlands also have a restrictive effect on stealth, which is an advantage for Hellfire. There is no need to worry about the "Night Dire" hiding too high.
Instead of refuting Hellfire or explaining, Ye Shang sighed softly. Then, a purple dagger that might look familiar to Nighthawk appeared in his hand instead of the original dagger. Finally, he said
Words that were not loud but loud enough to ring in the ears of everyone around him came out of his mouth.
