Witch's Hill, Wildhammer Town:
As Wildhammer Town was relatively close to the Million Forest, it was much more convenient to travel to and from the Otherworld Gate. In addition, the various major corporations had invested heavily in Wildhammer Town, allowing it to grow into a Guild Town with over 600,000 players. Many Shops and virtual Shops filled the town, making it even more prosperous than a small NPC city.
In addition, the Starlight Alliance had grown stronger recently, and more merchant players and adventurer teams visited Wildhammer Town. Many players had already begun to treat Wildhammer Town as a hub for players in the Million Forest.
Although monsters occasionally attacked Wildhammer Town, the Starlight Alliance had fortified Wildhammer Town. Despite being a Basic Town, Wildhammer Town was protected by tall, sturdy walls. Over a dozen Defense Turrets and Arrow Towers covered the town's perimeter, and over 20,000 players constantly garrisoned the town. The town was like a military fortress, and even now, monsters couldn't do anything to it.
Moreover, as the Starlight Alliance had over a dozen Guilds, over a dozen of these Guilds had set up temporary Residences in Wildhammer Town. If the town truly fell, these Guilds could mobilize over 100,000 players to reinforce the town. Hence, Wildhammer Town was the safest town in the entire Starmoon Kingdom.
With the Witch's Hill's resources and security, Wildhammer Town had instantly transformed this seemingly ordinary town into a bustling one. In fact, it even showed signs of becoming an Intermediate Town.
As the sun set in the west, the Defense Turrets before the town's entrance gradually illuminated the land. The darkness in the distance had also awakened from its slumber.
A muscular man carrying a silver bow on his back walked up to the turret and gazed at the forest in the distance. Due to this man's appearance, the six men guarding the turret tensed up instead of slacking off.
Although this Tier 2 Ranger was only Level 57, which was insignificant in a Guild like Knight's Judgment. Many of the Guild's Tier 2 players were already over Level 58, the six players guarding the Defense Turret looked at this man with admiration and respect.
This man was one of the six players who had obtained an Advanced Legacy in Knight's Judgment. He was also the only expert in the Guild who had cleared the Hell Mode Tier 2 Promotion Quest.
In the Starmoon Kingdom, Eight Feathers was known as the Soul Chaser!
Every player that had challenged their Tier 2 Promotion Quest before knew just how difficult it was. Just the Normal Mode Quest alone required plenty of time for expert players to prepare. In fact, even at this stage of the game, the majority of players had yet to complete their Tier 2 Promotion Quests. Hell Mode was practically a legend, yet Eight Feathers had completed it.
He had even fought Sin Realm's Seven Great Experts. Although he hadn't won, he hadn't lost, either. Sin Realm's Seven Great Experts ranked at the very top of the Purple Thorns Kingdom. Meanwhile, Eight Feathers was only in his early twenties. He still had plenty of room for growth.
"The forest is very peaceful today. I don't think any monsters will attack the city." Eight Feathers looked a little disappointed as he gazed at the distant forest.
In response to Eight Feathers's words, the six players standing guard nodded in agreement, somewhat disappointed.
Although the monster siege was troublesome, it was also an opportunity for them to obtain treasures and train.
"The team that came to guard the city yesterday was really cool. It was the turn of the monsters to attack the city. Why didn't we have such a good opportunity?"
"I've heard that Commander Eight Feathers made a killing yesterday. He even obtained a piece of Level 55 Secret-Silver Equipment and over 20 Primordial Crystal Fragments."
"I've heard about it, too. Moreover, the brothers on the garrison duty earned two or three Primordial Crystal Fragments yesterday. It's simply amazing! As long as we collect a few Primordial Crystals, we can upgrade our Guild Mounts to Bronze rank! I wonder when I'll be able to collect enough Primordial Crystals? "
"There's no need to rush. Ling Yi is going to challenge the Starlight Alliance this time. As long as Ling Yi loses, the Witch's Hill's resources will belong to the Starlight Alliance. Won't it be easy to obtain Primordial Crystals then?"
"I guess you're right. Ling Yi Society thinks that it's Starmoon Kingdom's number one Guild, so it doesn't take the Starlight Alliance seriously. However, times have changed. Now, Tier 2 players are everywhere. How could Ling Yi Society's few Tier 2 players possibly suppress the Starlight Alliance's dozen or so Guilds?"
…
When the players standing guard on the Defense Turrets mentioned the Ling Yi Society, they couldn't help but chuckle. It was as if they were mocking Ling Yi's ignorance and pride.
As the players atop the Defense Turrets discussed where to grind for Primordial Crystal Fragments the next day, a spatial tear suddenly appeared above the city's gate, adding a hint of abnormality to the crimson sky.
As the spatial tear grew larger, it quickly formed a black hole. Once the black hole formed, one black figure after another emerged from it and appeared on Wildhammer Town's crowded streets.
"A monster siege?"
Although the players standing on the distant Defense Turrets couldn't get a clear view of the black figure, they could tell that the figure was much larger than the players on the streets. Aside from monsters, they couldn't think of any other possibility.
"Wait! That's … a player! "
Eight Feathers, who had excellent eyesight, shook his head, a grim expression appearing on his face.
No matter how Shi Feng looked at it, a four-meter-tall man who radiated a beast-like aura wouldn't be easy to deal with. Moreover, this player had actually reached Level 60, the peak of God's Domain at this stage of the game. This proved that this player's combat standards couldn't be underestimated.
As soon as the first Giant player emerged from the spatial black hole, more Giant players appeared one after another. In just a short moment, several dozen Giant players had appeared …
Most importantly, these Giant players wore the Ling Yi Society's six-winged emblem.
"Ling Yi's people dare intrude into our Wildhammer Town?! They must be tired of living! Commander, let's blast them to smithereens!"
No matter how powerful players were, they were still players. Against the Defense Turrets' attacks, it didn't matter how large their bodies were. They would only become easier targets.
"The Defense Turrets' AOE is too large. That's a crowded street! Leave this to the NPC soldiers and patrol squads!" Eight Feathers said.
The Defense Turrets' attacks didn't discriminate between friend and foe. If the Defense Turrets accidentally affected other players, it would negatively affect Wildhammer Town.
Normally, Guild Towns and Cities had several thousand players and NPC soldiers defending them, not to mention Wildhammer Town, which was an important location for the Starlight Alliance. Moreover, monsters occasionally attacked the Witch's Hill. Hence, there were usually over 20,000 players stationed in the town.
Sending several dozen players to attack Wildhammer Town was no different from sending them to their deaths. There was no need for artillery support.
