Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 4)

Chapter 723 - Utterly Alone and Abandoned

Stepping out of the game capsule, Nie Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

His heart was still racing from all the tension. Tomorrow, when he logged back on, the guild headquarters would be officially moved to Okoron.

Qin Han's army was reduced to less than 2,000,000 skeletons. The biggest obstacle left was Necromancer Vorderman and the bone dragon. Nie Yan didn't know if the Royal Griffon Corps were up to the task. If those two were killed, everything would be settled.

As for the actual players on the side of the Monet Financial Group-900,000 of them in total-Nie Yan had a way to slowly whittle them away until there was no one left. By the time their forces reached Okoron, the system would've considered the siege at the Cripps Stronghold concluded, allowing all fallen players to revive.

Nie Yan had just finished breakfast, when his phone started ringing. It was Guo Huai.

「So!? Did you transfer the guild headquarters over in time!?」Guo Huai anxiously asked.

「Of course. When we get back online tomorrow, the guild headquarters will be in Okoron.」

「Phew... That's a relief. When you get back online, quickly deal with Necromancer Vorderman. He's severely injured. Don't let this opportunity slip by.」

「Alright, I won't forget.」Nie Yan nodded.「Is there anything else?」

「Just like you planned, the matter with Eternal Sin is settled. Qin Han ordered Penumbra Empire to attack Asskickers United's strongholds in the south. However, Eternal Sin is delaying his troops. I bet Qin Han is pulling his hair out right now.」Guo Huai chuckled.

「Eternal Sin, that man really is crafty. Even if he openly disobeys Qin Han's orders, he won't take any losses. He's avoided entering a conflict with us too. If we win, Penumbra Empire is already working for us. If we lose, Qin Han will still have to rely on him in the end,」Nie Yan said. He saw straight through Eternal Sin's thoughts.

「Well, we aren't taking any losses, so it doesn't matter. Since Eternal Sin is thinking this way, I bet the other guilds under the Monet Financial Group are the same. For a person like Qin Han, even if he binds all these guilds together with money, he simply doesn't have what it takes to be a leader. All he knows how to do is throw money at his problems. He was bound to be abandoned sooner or later,」Guo Huai said. In this respect, the Monet Financial Group and Asskickers United were polar opposites.

After Nie Yan finished talking with Guo Huai, he accompanied Xie Yao along Huahai. They also took the opportunity to pop into World Bloc's offices. When his mother finally met her future daughter-in-law, she was extremely happy. No matter which aspect, there was nothing to nitpick. Xie Yao far exceeded her expectations.

As for the Xie Family, ever since Mo Yuntian approached Nie Yan during the dinner party, they didn't dare to so much as let out a fart, tacitly approving of Nie Yan and Xie Yao's relationship.

Nie Yan was in high spirits. Where in the previous timeline he had nothing, this time around he had everything he yearned for. When evening arrived, he and Xie Yao entered back into the game.

As soon as the servers opened, the tense battle resumed as though nothing had happened.

Qin Han commanded his skeleton army to surround Yallop's group. Just as they were about to be completely surrounded, 3,000 Royal Griffons appeared over the horizon. They were rapidly approaching.

Seeing this scene, the players of Asskickers United boiled over with excitement.

"The boss is back!"

"He brought the Royal Griffon Corps with him!"
