After arriving at White River City's Teleportation Hall, Shifeng chose to teleport to Bewildering Forest Town.
After a flash of white light, Shifeng opened his eyes and found himself in a crowded town's Teleportation Hall.
Not only were there a lot of players in the hall, but they were also all Level 40 or above. Many of these players wore Guild Emblems, and they all wore solemn expressions.
Aside from these Guild players, the majority of the players in the hall were adventurer teams of 20 or more. Very few players acted alone.
"Why are there so many people here?" Shifeng was confused as he looked around.
Bewildering Forest Town was a relatively remote town in Star-Moon Kingdom. There weren't many leveling maps around the town, and most of the maps were below Level 30. Although Bewildering Forest Town was the closest NPC town to the Witch's Hill, it would still take players over seven hours to reach the Witch's Hill by Mount. Moreover, the Witch's Hill wasn't a leveling map with abundant resources.
Bewildering Forest Town was also the largest forest in the Starmoon Kingdom.
The Maze Forest!
The monsters in the Maze Forest ranged from Level 40 to Level 50. Although the forest wasn't particularly dangerous, its interior was like a maze. It was common for players who weren't familiar with the terrain to get lost. The only famous monster in the forest was the Dawn Flower.
Although the Dawn Flower was rare and was the main ingredient for brewing wine and Disorientation Potions, it was useless to current players. Logically, the Maze Forest shouldn't have attracted so many players.
"Head to the Orc Fortress! Forming a 1,000-man team! Teams that wish to capture the Orc Fortress, sign up here!"
"Selling Mana Charms at a cheap price! Come find me if you want them!"
…
As soon as Shifeng left the Teleportation Hall, he noticed that the narrow street was packed with players. There were also quite a few merchants selling items. The town, which hadn't been particularly prosperous in the past, had become extraordinarily lively.
"The Orcs have already reached this place?"
Shifeng was indescribably surprised as he looked at the 1,000-man teams.
The Witch's Hill was located in the southwest region of the Starmoon Kingdom, while Bewildering Forest Town was closer to the Orc Empire. However, it definitely wasn't a border area.
Moreover, the teams participating in this operation were no longer 100-man teams, but 1,000-man teams. Such a situation was extremely rare in God's Domain. Normally, such a situation would only occur when players entered a very dangerous Regional Dungeon. Normally, a 100-man team would be more than enough.
Just as the Shifeng was about to look for a bar to investigate, a regional announcement suddenly rang in their ears.
Bewildering Forest Town Region System Announcement: An army of Orcs has broken through the defenses of the Starmoon Kingdom's Third Legion and is currently rushing towards Bewildering Forest Town. Bewildering Forest Town will enter a defensive state. Activating the Bewildering Forest Town Defense Quest. Estimated time of arrival is 10 hours.
"F * ck! The speed of these beastmen is too fast. How long has it been, and they're already here? "
"Hahaha, that's great! I can earn contribution points now!"
Along with the system announcement, the town's players cried out in surprise. Some were excited, while others were surprised. However, every one of them was eager to participate in the town's garrison quest.
Very soon, the teams that had originally formed teams began to change their targets. They formed teams to defend against the attack of the Orc army.
Moreover, the members of the various large Guilds were frantically contacting their respective Guilds.
"Boss, the Orcs are about to attack Bewildering Forest Town!"
"Guild Leader, you told me to keep an eye on the Orc Empire. The Orc Empire has already reached Bewildering Forest Town. There are still ten hours left before the attack begins."
…
The various large Guilds' members continuously reported the situation regarding the Orcs and Bewildering Forest Town to their upper echelons. After a short moment, one Guild member after another arrived at Bewildering Forest Town's Teleportation Hall. There were even members of well-known adventurer teams from the Starmoon Kingdom making their way to Bewildering Forest Town.
It was obvious that these Guilds and adventurer teams were interested in defending Bewildering Forest Town. At the same time, they had long since made preparations. They were only waiting for the Orcs to invade.
Meanwhile, as the Shifeng sat in the second-floor bar, collecting information on the Starmoon Kingdom's forums, Shiuse Qiangwei suddenly contacted him.
"Guild Leader, the Orc army has begun its assault on Starmoon Kingdom's Bewildering Forest Town. I've received news that many large Guilds have already dispatched a large force to the town. Should we organize our forces as well? I've heard that if we successfully defend the town, not only will we receive a generous amount of Contribution Points, but we can also increase our Guild's Influence in the Starmoon Kingdom."
"Increase our Guild's Influence in the Starmoon Kingdom?"
When the Shifeng heard Shiuse Qiangwei's report, he immediately understood why the various large Guilds had been so eager to defend Bewildering Forest Town.
In God's Domain, regardless of whether it was a kingdom or an empire, they were not immutable existences. They could rise and fall, and Guilds could even replace them. This was also why the various superpowers had been able to establish massive empires in God's Domain.
Establishing a kingdom or empire with player-built cities wasn't enough. Players needed to take control of NPC kingdoms and empires.
Take the maritime kingdoms for example. Although players couldn't control every NPC city as fully as Guild Cities, they could still control a considerable portion of the city.
On the continent of God's Domain, if Guilds wished to take control of NPC cities, kingdoms, and empires, they needed the Guild's influence.
Of course, taking control of Star-Moon Kingdom's NPC cities and kingdoms wasn't something that could be done just by relying on one's influence. Players also needed to fulfill some other conditions. These conditions weren't something players could accomplish at this stage of the game. After all, current players were simply too weak. They simply couldn't contend with God's Domain's NPCs.
However, it was necessary to accumulate Guild Influence in advance.
"Aqua, organize it immediately. Since the Starmoon Kingdom's various large Guilds are participating, the Ling YI Society naturally can't miss this opportunity," Shifeng said after giving the matter some thought.
Although he had several methods to increase his Guild Influence in the Starmoon Kingdom through other channels, he still had to participate in this opportunity. It would save him a lot of time.
"Guild Leader, should we have Gentle Snow and the others come over?" Shiuse Qiangwei asked.
"No. Let them complete their Promotion Quests for now," Shi Feng said, shaking his head. Shifeng was looking forward to seeing Gentle Snow and Zhao Yueru complete their Tier 2 Promotion Quests. After all, both Gentle Snow and Zhao Yueru wielded Fragmented Legendary items and had hidden classes. Once they completed their Promotion Quests, their combat power would be subpar.
Following which, Shifeng disconnected the call and left Bewildering Forest Town. After finding a secluded location, he summoned the Demonic Flame Tiger and made his way to Witch's Hill.
There were still close to ten hours until Bewildering Forest Town was captured. He had enough time to deal with the matters in the Guild City and return to command the Guild's war effort.
As a Dark-Gold Mount, the Demonic Flame Tiger's Movement Speed had increased after its Bloodline had been upgraded. Ordinary players would need at least seven hours to cross the Maze Forest to Witch's Hill, but Shifeng completed the journey in less than four hours.
After Shifeng arrived before a wide waterfall in Witch's Hill, a towering city appeared before him.
Unlike a town, Bewildering Forest Town's Hill City was surrounded by tall stone walls that were reinforced with magic runes. An invisible magic array also enveloped the city, preventing players from entering and leaving through the city's main entrance.
"The city's construction is quite good." Shifeng was quite satisfied as he observed the city from afar.
In terms of scale, Bewildering Forest Town's Hill City was much larger than the Basic Cities that had been promoted to Advanced Towns.
