<h4>Chapter 463: Deration of War</h4>


    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios


    If it was during the previous time, the Duke of York would think that the Victorians were crazy.


    Victoria City had only a few thousand residents, and yet it was attacking the York Territory. Previously, the Duke of York dispatched 3,000 Knights to attack Victoria City, but they were annihted. Only a few hundred Knights and themander, George, escaped. George was released voluntarily by Victoria City.


    George brought back a lot of useful information. For example, his nephew Guinevere betrayed him and defected to Victoria City!


    Also, the ruler of Victoria City was a self-proimed Queen Victoria!


    The Duke of York remembered that it was a handsome man who bought thend from him.


    None of that was important. The important fact was that the Victorians were attacking him, yet there were no capable Knights avable to the Duke of York.


    Did he have to conduct conscription in his vassal states?


    If he conducted conscription because of a small Victoria City, a lot of people wouldn’t be happy. They would even belittle him.


    He couldn’t care anymore. The Duke of York wrote letters and handed them to the guards, who rode in a hurry to the vassal states.


    He had to kill those arrogant Victorians!


    ...


    Sylvanas held her Blue Sylvanas Short Bow while she leaped nimbly on the rocks.


    She found a suitable spot and readied the Bow as she took aim at the fighting crowd, then released an arrow.


    The arrow hit a Gnome who was wielding a Pike.


    Below the Gnome’s name were the words Changan City.


    Arthur’s team was ambushed.


    Sylvanas took aim at another target. Before she released the second arrow, an arrow flew towards Sylvanas. The archer’s aim wasn’t as good as that of Sylvanas, so the arrownded on a huge rock beside her.


    Though the arrow didn’t hit Sylvanas, a Gnome and an Orc warrior charged towards her.


    “Capture Sylvanas, I want her alive!” someone in the crowd shouted loudly.


    Sylvanas was dumbstruck. She immediately understood what the gamers were trying to do to her.


    They wanted her alive so that she couldn’t revive or move around.


    They wanted to destroy her gaming experience by imprisoning her.


    Unless she died of hunger, she would have to stay in the cage prepared by them.


    This kind of gamey wasn’t prohibited, so some gamers did that. If the deeds were exposed on the discussion forum, the perpetrators would be denounced by the gamers.


    To arge Guild like Changan City, it was of no use. The chairman of Changan City didn’t care about those denouncements.


    It wasn’t a problem as long as there was money. The individual obstinate gamers were a minority. If there was money, there wouldn’t be much resistance from the gamers.


    It was only a game.


    Sylvanas didn’t want to be captured by them. Arthur, Sylvanas, and their team were ambushed by the gamers of Changan City while they were on their way to the Surface World. After a chaotic battle, Sylvanas and some gamers were separated by the Changan City Guild members. Though she could see Arthur fighting in the distance, she had no help from herrades.


    Sylvanas knew that she couldn’t allow herself to be captured. Suicide would be herst resort.


    There were tens of gamers behind her. Sylvanas couldn’t be sure she could kill all of them, but she was going to try.


    Sylvanas continued escaping while looking for a good location to hide. The Guild members of Changan City were hot on her trail.


    When Sylvanas arrived at a t teau, she stopped escaping.


    Sylvanas put away her Short Bow and took out a Longbow while chanting. It was a Mana incantation that she had just learned.


    The pursuers saw Sylvanas’ action and knew that she was going to attack soon. They weren’t afraid, theirrades would retrieve their equipment once they perished.


    Their main aim was to capture the high-ranking members of the Pioneer Alliance, such as Sylvanas.


    Sylvanaspleted her incantation, and a ball of fire appeared on the arrow.


    She released the bowstring, and the ming arrow flew towards her pursuers.


    The ming arrownded on the ground in front of the pursuers and exploded violently. The members of Changan City didn’t expect Sylvanas to have such a powerful enchanted arrow. The mes from the explosion engulfed the pursuers.


    Though the enchantment was powerful, it consumed a lot of Mana. The single ming arrow depleted all her Mana. Sylvanas used up five Mana Skills Books to learn the enchantment.


    A Mana Skills Book was very expensive, and even a rich gamer like Sylvanas took a long time to umte the five Mana Skills Books. She was willing to pay, but there was no market for it. When a Mana Skills Book appeared in an auction, it would be bought instantly. She had to make agreements with her Guild members to purchase Mana Skills Books from them when they obtained one.


    It was normal for such an expensive Mana Skill to have a powerful effect.


    Not all of the pursuers were killed by Sylvanas’ Mana attack. Only three pursuers were killed instantly, and their equipment was almost destroyed. The rest of the pursuers only had burn wounds.


    Sylvanas knew that she was unable to escape, so she took out a Dagger and wanted to end her life.


    Before she could stab her throat, a powerful Mana force restrained her. She saw a pursuer take out a tree branch Magic Wand and tear a Mana Scroll. With the power of the Mana Scroll and Magic Wand, a restraining spell was cast on Sylvanas. Her n to kill herself failed.


    The pursuers pounced on Sylvanas and buried her underneath their bodies. A gamer took out a Spider Silk rope and tied up Sylvanas before carrying her away.


    Some Guild members of the Pioneer Alliance saw Sylvanas being captured and charged over, but they were toote.


    The Guild members of Changan City ran off with the captured Sylvanas.


    The battle at Arthur’s side continued to rage on. Arthur and hisrades weren’t in danger even though they were ambushed. They persisted and counterattacked based on their strongbat power.


    When thest Guild member of Changan City was killed by the ck Longsword of Arthur, a gamer charged over and shouted, “Arthur! Sylvanas was captured by the Changan City members!”


    “Wait, can you repeat yourself?” the bloodstained NotWearingPants replied first.


    “Sylvanas was captured by the Changan City members!” the informant shouted.


    “I heard our senior Sylvanas was captured by the monsters.” Peasant was able to crack a joke even in this dire situation.


    The other gamers weren’t worried. Even if they captured Sylvanas, they would only strip her equipment and imprison her. They couldn’t ban her ount, so they weren’t worried.


    Sylvanas had Legendary Equipment, which was Soulbound. Once Sylvanas died, the equipment would return to the designated location.


    Sylvanas had only lost a few days of gamey. It was highly possible that Sylvanas might bribe the guard watching her. Perhaps she would be released soon.


    Even Arthur wasn’t worried. It was normal to be captured by opposing gamers. All online gamers understood the feeling of being captured. It wasn’t shameful. Instead, it could be fun.


    Even when Sylvanas was imprisoned in a cage, she could still crack jokes with her captors.


    It was only a game and not a life and death issue. It was important to have fun.


    NotWearingPants shouted loudly, “Won’t we be missing Sylvanas? We have to save her, she’s a high-ranking member. Our Guild’s reputation will be tarnished!”


    BurningChestHair looked surprised at NotWearingPants and patted his shoulder, saying, “Gosh Bro, I didn’t know. You’re... so concerned about our Guild. You were a good choice for the Deputy Chairman. I was indignant, but now, I’m convinced. I didn’t think of this!”


    The gamers at the side also nodded. They hadn’t considered the point that Sylvanas was a high-ranking member. If she was captured by Changan City, it would tarnish the Pioneer Alliance’s reputation. If she was being fooled by them or was forced to do something terrible, how would they resolve it?


    Previously, due to Raintea, the two Guilds were at odds. Changan City would take the opportunity to take revenge.


    The gamers wanted to rescue Sylvanas, and Arthur nodded in agreement. The original n was to explore the Surface World with the Victorians and create rapport with them. However, the Victorians were killed during the ambush by the members of Changan City. They couldn’t visit Victoria City now, but they could use the spare time to rescue Sylvanas.


    Since it was decided, Arthur had no intention to dy. He immediately dered war on Changan City!
