With the pacification of the Southwest District, many players began to return to their respective main cities. These guilds, forged for months by the Black Dragon Cult's rebellion, were devastating to those who had reigned supreme after they left. The difference in the level of players between the two sides made these guilds that were once glorious directly fall into the dust.

The respect of the strong will always be the main theme of this world, and those middle and low-level guilds that delusionally thought that they could take advantage of the situation to rise to the top in one fell swoop, after these guilds fully returned, they disappeared without a trace in an instant. Occasionally, some people who tried to resist were also educated by these big guilds with their fists, letting them know that your uncle is still your uncle.

Overall, both warring sides benefited from the Black Dragon Cult rebellion. Even the Black Dragon Sect Power Guild, which had been defeated before, had gained a lot of growth in this big brawl. Although they don't have as high rewards as players in the main city, they have gradually found some tactical thinking that suits them after experiencing this big battle of less to many.

However, the most unjust of them is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, who concentrated on expanding their power in the early stage, which can be regarded as laying a good foundation. However, in the later period, he suddenly chose to give up the hard-earned foundation in the southwest region and moved to the northwest region to expand his territory. Although the stronghold in the northwest region did provide them with a lot of high-end materials, they did not participate in the Black Dragon Sect rebellion in the later stage, which made their points fall out of the top 100.

Qing Zijin's original decision can be described as a bad move, he not only abandoned the advantages established by Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the Black Dragon Sect, but even lost nearly half of the strongholds in the northwest region because of the beginning of the barbarian invasion in the later period. Coupled with Zephyr's venting behavior after being robbed of the third place in the standings, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon suddenly fell into an unprecedented crisis.

Seeing that other Black Dragon Sect guilds were compensated by the system, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon players felt quite uncomfortable. Although they also want to support their own president, Qing Zijin's decision this time is so bad that most people can only choose to remain silent.

Ma Xiao Xifeng, who was aggrieved in his heart, naturally would not let go of this opportunity to fall into the well, he specially selected barbarian soldiers to loot, and launched an attack on the stronghold of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but after defeating, he did not occupy it, but destroyed the basic facilities and left. This kind of bad behavior understands that it is going to disgust the players of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but they are helpless.

As time passed, the contradictions within the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Guild also began to ferment, and even Qing Zijin sensed that something was wrong. Although he also admitted that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon would become what it is now, and he had unshirkable responsibility for his decision, but in terms of overall losses, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's strength has not decreased, but has been greatly improved because of the large number of elites stationed in it.

Qing Zijin also knew more or less about this situation, but for those people who were deliberately making trouble, he didn't have time to care about it for a while. After all, the most important thing right now is to shift all the focus to the new plot in the Northwest District to ensure that you get a bigger advantage in the next events.

The opening of the Northwest is a good opportunity for many guilds, especially since the system has already released early quests and players will have their first real head-to-head confrontation with the Barbarian soldiers.

Although many people have been in contact with these powerful barbarian soldiers in the past, most players were still at the level of about forty at that time, and most of the barbarian soldiers appeared in squads of about ten people. Now, both the strength of the player and the number of these barbarian soldiers are almost incomparable.

Since many players of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Zephyr had already met with this group of barbarian soldiers earlier, their hearts were somewhat low, so when they carried out the exploration mission, they were all cautious and fully prepared before attacking to meet the battle. Although the effect is small, the loss is relatively small.

But the other guilds didn't have such a cautious arrangement, especially after they had just pacified the Black Dragon Sect battle, everyone's enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high, as if they were already invincible in the world. Before the other big guilds could act, many mid-level guilds had already begun to organize people to go to the Northwest Region to try to attack those strongholds occupied by barbarian soldiers.

This kind of reckless behavior is naturally irreparable, in front of these barbarian soldiers with predatory attributes, those defeated players not only lost experience because of death, but also stripped off the equipment they got in the plot of the Black Dragon Sect. Among them, the serious ones even had their whole bodies blown up, and they didn't even have a chance to make a comeback.

At this time, the player realizes that this time the plot is afraid to play with them, and these barbarian soldiers really seem to exist as the opposite of the player from the beginning. Not only are they different from ordinary leveling mobs in AI and combat power, but they can even use the player's equipment and items.

This discovery made many people scold the game company for being too ruthless and actually making such a deceptive setting. However, the game company has repeatedly emphasized that this is designed from the beginning, and according to the mission plot, these barbarian soldiers do not encourage players to directly confront them, but should follow the corresponding conditions for the mission prompt to open to reduce the difficulty of the mission.

As soon as the announcement came out, everyone began to look for traces of related tasks in the Mobei Corridor, after all, after the beginning of the fierce battle, everyone understood that this group of barbarian soldiers was not something they could afford to provoke.

Under the player's carpet search, I finally figured out what the system said about the pre-task.

According to the setting of the game's background, the one responsible for defending against the invasion of barbarian soldiers is Yuquan Pass, the northernmost point in the Northwest Region. However, due to the destruction of Yuquan Pass by barbarian soldiers, several passes were destroyed, so the barbarians from the north entered the northwest area.

What the player has to do is to help the NPCs in the main city establish a defensive line through the quest, and clear out all these barbarian soldiers who have invaded the northwest region. To put it simply, these barbarian soldiers that the player is facing now are not the main force, and the really strong ones are still blocked from Yuquan Pass, and they have to deal with these fish that run in.

After this exploration, the general process of the barbarian invasion was basically clarified. There is no doubt that the final decisive battle site is Yuquan Pass in the north, and the barbarian soldiers on this side of the Mobei Corridor are just for them to train their hands and accumulate capital. It is the NPCs of the main city who are really responsible for fighting these barbarian soldiers.

This is a complete reversal of the previous plot of the Black Dragon Cult Rebellion, which is transferred from the player's lead to the player as a support, and the real decision is made by the NPCs in the game.

However, many things are said to be the same thing, but when you actually do it, it becomes a different scene. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, this sentence is applicable no matter where it is, even if the plot this time is obviously in the form of cooperation between players, but it still can't stop some people from making trouble.

Naturally, the task can only be completed in the form of cooperation, but the benefits of the task are another matter, so some people with sinister intentions quickly thought of the game of grabbing the task.

As a result, the game atmosphere that finally stabilized was once again piled up into an atmosphere of fierce competition.
