Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

In addition to these equipment, there are also some nice oddities, such as the "Magical Goblin Coordinate Locator" which is not high level but is extremely useful, the "Skaven Burrow Network Deployment Array" which was obtained when killing the Skaven, and several "Pig Cages" which are essentially portable prisons that only Pigmen can make.

Now that Liu Nian has divided the spoils with Devourer of the Sun, it's time for him to leave.

Whether it's the conflict with Caseyman or the matter of the Banner of Exile, Liu Nian needs to communicate with Wu Zhan.

Sun Devourer didn't plan to leave immediately. He looked into the depths of the mine: "I haven't had enough of this dungeon yet! I plan to temporarily gather my people and set up a temporary camp here. With 'Heart of Elune' here, no one will get the slightest benefit!"

Liu Nian nodded, said no more, and left after saying goodbye.

"Until we meet again." Shi Ri looked at the spot where Liu Nian had disappeared, a faint smile on his face.

Today, I fought alongside Liu Nian again. Most importantly, those birdmen will definitely cause trouble after they go back from this ordeal.

This would inevitably shake the relationship between humans and the Eagle Clan. Devourer of the Sun is indeed not afraid of the Eagle Clan, but if Liu Nian sides with the Eagle Clan, and is later coerced into attacking them, this is not what Devourer of the Sun wants to see.

The outline of Dragon City has begun to emerge on the ruins of Ascalon.

When Liu Nian arrived here via the teleportation array, many buildings had already had their main structures erected.

Even more striking is the sight of frost giants, some over ten meters tall with skin like that forged from frozen soil and ice, working together with dwarf engineers and human players to move massive stones far exceeding the load of ordinary people, or using their innate frost power to help reinforce and shape them.

"Frost Giants... they've actually formed an alliance? It seems the Dragon Abyss Guild hasn't been idle lately either," Liu Nian thought to himself.

The Frost Giants are formidable in combat, especially skilled in defense and terrain modification. With their addition, the construction progress and defensive strength of Dragon City will be greatly improved.

This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for preparing for the upgrade battle.

Liu Nian walked straight to the administrative center. The hall, built with anti-magic rocks, was basically completed, and many NPCs had already been deployed here.

However, Wu Zhan was not there. Chi Xiangyang, who was in charge of staying behind today, told Liu Nian that Wu Zhan had gone to the "Rift Canyon" advanced leveling area, which was open to human players in Eagle Descendant Wind Howl Territory, to level up.

"The boss said that in the last few days, every little bit helps. He just reached level 86 and plans to use the altar that grants a ten-level boost after reaching level 89," Chi Xiangyang said. "With the dwarf master Mekkatorque overseeing the construction of Dragon City, the Martial Arts Guild Leader is very reassured."

Liu Nian nodded, indicating his understanding.

These NPCs don't seem like real people; they won't cheat or slack off. The general direction and blueprint have already been set, so there's no need for Wu Zhan to squat here every day as a supervisor.

As one of the leaders of the human faction, Wu Zhan really needs to raise his level to the top tier as soon as possible, ideally reaching level 99 before the great battle.

He didn't linger any longer and headed straight for Riftwind Canyon.

Riftwind Canyon is located in the territory of the Eagle Clan and is a unique wind-eroded landform, with strong winds containing magical energy blowing all year round.

The monsters here are generally between level 85 and 95, and most of them are wind-attribute creatures.

When Liu Nian arrived, Wu Zhan was leading a crack team of Longyuan soldiers to hunt down a group of LV90 "Harpies".

Liu Nian spotted Wu Zhan's ghostly figure at a glance; he was directing the phantom of a ghost ship to bombard the monster.

Upon seeing Liu Nian appear, Wu Zhan's eyes flashed with surprise. He quickly ended the battle, let his team members rest for a while, and then went to greet him.

"Liu Nian? What brings you here?"

Liu Nian briefly recounted to Wu Zhan his previous actions of killing the Iron Hoof Warriors and causing chaos in the Flash Mine. Wu Zhan gasped in shock upon hearing this.

"You...did it all by yourself?" Wu Zhan couldn't help but ask.

"Shi Ri was also there, and he helped a bit. I was the one who dealt with the main target," Liu Nian said, frowning. "However, I clashed with Duke Kesi Diman of the Eagle Clan."

Liu Nian recounted what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhan simply smiled and waved his hand, "Not surprising. I was prepared for the arrogance and shortsightedness of the Eagle Clan, and I believe that Duke Yang Lawi has a deep understanding of his own people and will not waver in the alliance because of his one-sided words. Don't worry." He was clearly quite familiar with the factions and personalities within the Eagle Clan and was not worried.

Liu Nian nodded, Wu Zhan's composure reassuring him considerably. It seemed the alliance with the Eagle Clan, at least on Yang Lavie's side, was more solid than he had imagined.

"However, that's not the main reason I came here." Liu Nian changed the subject, his expression becoming serious. "I obtained something that might... change the way we deal with internal traitors."

"A traitor?" Wu Zhan's eyes narrowed. "You mean... Charles?"

"Not just him, but all the hidden traitors and moles." Liu Nian flipped his hand, and the dark silver "Banner of Exile" embroidered with twisted runes and scales appeared in his hand.

The flag was small, yet it exuded a chilling power.

Wu Zhan's gaze was instantly drawn to it.

He took the flag, his fingers brushing across its cold surface, and the flag's attributes unfolded before his eyes.

When he saw words like "ethnic referendum," "ronin," and "permanent death," his pupils suddenly contracted, and his breath caught in his throat!

"This...this...there's actually something like this!" Wu Zhan's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement and shock. "Liu Nian, where did you get this? This thing...this thing is incredibly intimidating to players!! It's practically...the Book of Life and Death!"

"I won it from King Grom the Pig," Liu Nian explained simply, then said in a deep voice, "With it, Charles, and his druid cronies hiding underground, will receive their due punishment!"

Wu Zhan gripped the flagpole tightly, his knuckles turning white, not from nervousness, but from excitement.

"That's great...that's fucking great!"

He practically spat out those words through gritted teeth.

"I've been thinking about how to make someone like Charles pay the heaviest price for his betrayal! Just imprisoning him? That's too lenient! Killing him before was pointless because he could be resurrected! But now... hahaha! Permanently delete his character! That's the fate a traitor deserves!"

His eyes gleamed with glee, as if he could already see Charles's desperate and resentful face after the referendum passed.

But soon, Wu Zhan took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.

"However, Liu Nian, we can't use it immediately." Wu Zhan handed the flag back to Liu Nian, his tone regaining its composure. "Wang Mian already has a meticulous plan. We have concrete evidence that Charles and those traitorous Druids are still in contact with the Skaven. Their plan is to coordinate with the Skaven to infiltrate Azure City through secret underground passages during the height of the Ascension War, creating chaos from within and launching a surprise attack!"

Wu Zhan sneered, "Wang Mian has already laid a trap, using a clever strategy against us. He's just waiting for the battle to begin so the ratmen can slip in… Then we'll catch them like turtles in a jar! We'll wipe out Charles and his cronies, along with those rats! Then, when we use the 'Banner of Exile,' the evidence will be irrefutable, and our actions will be perfectly justified!"

After listening, Liu Nian nodded. Wu Zhan and Wang Mian's plan was more reliable, as it could both eliminate the traitor and severely damage the enemy army, truly a brilliant strategy that killed two birds with one stone.

"Since you already have arrangements, then proceed according to plan. I'll keep this flag for now." Liu Nian put away the flag of exile.
