After leaving the Guild Residence, Shi Feng arrived on the main street. Silverwing Town had already begun to take shape, and all sorts of buildings had been erected. Even the five-story Candlelight had been completed. All he needed to do now was sell the items he needed.
Moreover, as Silverwing Town had grown to a certain size, the number of NPCs on the town's streets had also gradually increased. These NPCs were no longer just patrolling NPC adventurers and Guild members.
Perhaps due to the Magic King, Shifeng even noticed several NPCs in tattered armor heading toward Ling Yi's Residence. These NPCs looked like mercenaries.
Although these NPCs looked downtrodden, when Shi Feng used Omniscient Eyes, he discovered that they were all Level 70-plus, Tier 2 NPCs.
When Silverwing Town had first been established, it would've been fortunate to recruit Tier 1 NPCs. The majority of the NPCs recruited were Elite NPCs. Tier 2 NPCs were simply impossible to recruit.
Now, however, three Tier 2 NPCs had suddenly appeared in Ling Yi's Residence. Even now, there were only several hundred Tier 2 NPCs guarding Ling Yi City. Although the levels of these NPCs were slightly lower, they were more than enough for current players. Moreover, NPCs leveled up much faster than players.
It's no wonder why they say that a powerful Hero can raise a city to prominence. When Shifeng saw the NPC mercenaries, he could not help but recall the first-rate Guilds that had possessed powerful Heroes in the past.
Although these first-rate Guilds could not compare to super-first-rate Guilds and Super Guilds in terms of funds and resources, after obtaining powerful Heroes to protect their cities, their cities' defensive capabilities were no weaker than those of super-first-rate Guilds and Super Guilds.
Back then, even Super Guilds had struggled to capture these cities. Only after players had gotten promoted to Tier 6 did they have an easier time.
Not only were these Heroes incredibly powerful, but the NPC soldiers guarding the cities were also incredibly powerful. Some NPCs with extremely high talent and potential could even reach Tier 4, with many reaching Tier 3. In addition, NPCs were already stronger than players of the same tier. With the city's magic array's support, the combat power these NPCs could exhibit was even more frightening.
Without establishing an absolute advantage, it was almost impossible to capture such a city.
After a short moment, Shifeng arrived at Silverwing Town's outer perimeter.
In the next moment, a large number of architects were dismantling the town's walls and constructing new ones. Although the town's original walls had a certain amount of Defense, they were useless against Tier 2 attacks and above. Hence, they needed to be demolished and rebuilt. The new walls could withstand Tier 3 attacks and had high Durability. They also had the effect of preventing players from climbing over them. For a town in a neutral map, these walls were a must-have.
However, the cost of constructing these walls was not cheap. If Zero Wing wanted to surround Silverwing Town entirely, it would cost at least 10,000 Gold. This sum was no less expensive than the hotels, bars, smithy, and restaurants in Silverwing Town. However, Zero Wing only dared to act so extravagantly because Zero Wing City was a treasure trove. Not only did it receive a large influx of Coins every minute, but it also had a large number of merchant players renting Shops in Zero Wing City. After taking into account the fact that it had defeated Heaven's Burial, it had sold quite a lot of weapons and equipment.
If it were any other first-rate Guild, they'd be lucky if they could construct the town's basic structure within a short time. After all, the total cost of constructing the town's defenses was close to 120,000 Gold.
Even to super-first-rate Guilds, 120,000 Gold was no small sum, not to mention first-rate Guilds.
However, this was only the beginning of their investment in Silverwing Town. They still had to construct the Battle Arena and defensive structures. That would cost an astronomical amount of Coins.
Meanwhile, four Magic Towers stood at each of Silverwing Town's four corners. There was also a Magic Tower near the town's entrance. This way, the town's defenses would be strong enough to protect it.
"Guild Leader, several superpowers have already contacted us. They're willing to cooperate with us. As long as we hand over 50% of Silverwing Town's shares and establish a temporary Guild Residence, they'll help us deal with Beast Emperor. In addition, they'll invest 200,000 Gold to speed up the town's defensive construction," Shiuse Qiangwei reported quietly as he looked at the approaching Shifeng.
"50% of the town's shares? Are all those superpowers offering this price? "Shifeng asked curiously.
Shi Feng wasn't particularly surprised that the various superpowers were willing to cooperate with Silverwing Town. After all, such situations had occurred many times in the past. Many first-rate Guilds had been lucky enough to obtain a Town Building Order. However, they didn't have the strength to defend their town in a neutral map. Hence, they had chosen to cooperate with superpowers.
First, they could protect their town.
Second, they could use more funds to develop their Guilds. They wouldn't have to spend all of their Coins on the town's development.
"Mhm. There are some differences in their offers, but they've all stated that we must obtain 50% of Silverwing Town's shares," Shi Feng said, nodding. Nodding, Aqua Rose said, "I've spoken with them a few times already. From what I can tell, they're still adamant that Beast Emperor's side will target us. They believe that we won't be able to defend Silverwing Town in a long war of attrition. After factoring in the recent system announcement, they're even more unwilling to back down.
"We just received news that Beast Emperor has mobilized a large group of Evil Demons, Evil Beasts, and independent players from Ancient Rock City. By the looks of it, he's planning to drag this war out."
"What a bunch of old foxes." Shifeng could not help but smile. "Do they really think that without them, we won't be able to defeat Beast Emperor in Ling Yi? Ignore them for now. We just need to have Ling Yi City's elite and expert members develop in Silverwing Town. If Beast Emperor dispatches Mythic combatants to attack the town, have Ke Le and the others deal with them. "
"I'll have them come here as soon as possible," Shiuse Qiangwei said, nodding, smiling.
They might not be able to deal with Evil Demons and Evil Beasts in the fields, but with five Magic Towers protecting Silverwing Town, the town's combat power was no laughing matter. Even if they faced Mythic combatants, they still had Ke Le and other Tier 2 players with Tier 3 Mana Weapons. Including the Magic Towers' buffs, they should be able to hold their own against Mythic monsters.
After saying so, Shifeng arrived before one of the Magic Towers. He then entered the tower and began inscribing the magic runes on the tower's core.
Inscribing magic runes made up of Advanced Magic Arrays was an extremely difficult task for other players. It would take a lot of time. However, Shifeng, who had already become an Advanced Magician, had no problem inscribing Advanced Magic Arrays on his own, not to mention the high tolerance for error.
In less than five minutes, Shifeng finished inscribing the core runes on one of the Magic Towers.
In less than an hour, Shi Feng had visited all five Magic Towers and completed the engraving of the core runes, forming a complete Magic Tower.
"Good! Activate all Magic Towers simultaneously! "Shifeng commanded as he stood before one of the Magic Towers a short distance away from the town's entrance.
Immediately, Shiuse Qiangwei and the other Guild upper echelons in the other four Magic Towers promptly activated their respective Magic Towers.
Suddenly, the gigantic Magic Crystal atop each Magic Tower released a dark-blue glow that transformed into a pillar of light that shot into the sky.
In the next moment, the pillar of light expanded, forming a light-blue barrier that enveloped Silverwing Town. When the barriers of the five Magic Towers collided with each other, the barrier's color darkened slightly. When the barriers of the five Magic Towers merged, they formed a gigantic, translucent, dark-blue barrier that enveloped Silverwing Town.
Even the players at the Primordial Divine Ruin could see this spectacular scene clearly.
"What's going on?"
"What's going on in Silverwing Town?"
