Chapter 171 Western Continent’s Objective
While Ye Ci and Fleeting Time were squaring off against each other on the rooftops, Eastern and Western Continent yers were locked inbat on the streets. Facing the endless tides of Eastern Continent yers, Absalom knew that he’d lost the initiative. The Eastern Continent wasn’t their home turf, which meant that they were unable to employ human wave tactics like the Eastern Continent yers that were swarming against them in droves, unfearing their deaths.
The Western Continent yers that were selected to join this daring assault were elites even amongst their most elite yers. They had good equipment and high levels which were more than a match for the average Northern Continent yers. With the movement of yers restricted by the narrow street, the invaders were able to hold their ground. Despite the absence of system restriction of yers travelling to another continent before the official release of the Middle Continent, yers would still suffer from some degree of penalty while travelling to a hostile continent.
When yers were on their home continent, their level would be reduced by 1 if they were killed 10 times. While invading a hostile continent, a yer would lose a level for every 5 deaths he or she suffered. Besides that, their equipment had a higher chance of dropping upon death in a hostile continent.
With his ns ruined by Ye Ci, Absalom gave up on following his original battle n. With the sudden change of the situation, it was impossible tounch another simr attack. Their initial sesses owed a lot to the element of surprise as they emerged from the tunnel and dealt a decisive blow to unsuspecting Eastern Continent yers. With more of the elite Eastern Continent forces arriving on the scene, sticking to his original n was an utterly foolish course of action.
That was why Absalom gave up on attacking the Royal Pce without hesitation.
It was a wise decision that was immediately epted by the frontlinemanders. They had a clear picture of the situation and knew that the elite yers of the Eastern Continent were already stationed within the pce. Despite the fact that Champion City wasn’t the home base of any guilds, the city had its own defence measure. The King residing in the Royal Pce would’ve definitely deployed his forces within the pce grounds. With thebined might of the Eastern Continent yers and high-level NPCbatants, an attack by Western Continent yers on the pce would be futile.
The invading Western Continent yers were some of the best the continent had to offer. They were high-level yers that were able to respond quickly tomands, were equipped with superior equipment, and had a good gaming sense. Right after receiving a confirmation that the attack on the Royal Pce was called off, they began to disperse.
“Boss, what’s the objective?” Xinhua Dictionary was nervous. If the situation continued, they would eventually be annihted.
After a moment of thought, Absalom spoke up, “Are themanders of all 4bat zones here?”
“Here!” The 4 frontlinemanders replied as one.
“Whichbat zone is the Royal Monastery located in?”
As the royal capital of a continent, Champion City was equipped with various facilities including, but not limited to; a library, an auction house, and a monastery. The same could be said for all the royal capitals in the other continents. The buildings in the capitals, however, were arranged differently and weren’t avable to yers from foreign continents. They also weren’t readily avable on Fate’s official website.
A yer could easily obtain the map of the royal capital of his or her royal continent, as a map of a yer’s home continent was already ced in the yer’s inventory once they’d finished their characterpletion. With this map, a yer could gain knowledge about their home continent. To gain knowledge about the maps of a foreign continent, a yer would need to purchase a map of a foreign continent from the continent’s NPC or physically explore the ce.
The Western Continent yers were of course not here for sightseeing; they were enemies of the Eastern Continent. As “invaders” they were unable to purchase maps from the local NPCs and the only way they could confirm their location was through word of mouth.
That was why Absalom asked out loud in themand channel before making his decision.
“It’s in the northern sector. I’m in charge of this sector,” Joyless immediately replied.
“I want a short briefing about the terrain in your sector. I’ll grant you the authority to give your report in the mainmand channel,” said Absalom, and immediately spoke out in the mainmand channel, “May I have your attention please! No matter where you are, listen up! The following will be a short briefing about the northern sector, I want you to remember it well.”
With that, Joyless gave the briefing with a slow but steady voice, providing details of the terrain in the sector to the Western Continent yers.
Every Western Continent yer, including Fleeting Time, could clearly hear Joyless’s voice. Fleeting Time immediately understood Absalom’s intention of shifting thebat area to the northern sector of the city. He was, however, locked inbat with Ye Ci, with neither of them gaining the upper hand.
“Now that I’m done exining things about the northern sector, I will begin sharing the map of thebat area to the frontlinemanders. Please pass the maps around.”
Absalom nced at the detailed map of the northern sector and immediately spotted the Monastery that was marked on the map by Joyless. He immediately barked out orders into themand channel, “I want yers in the northern sector to continue upying the main streets, while yers in the other sectors move towards the Monastery in small groups. Remember, rendezvous at the Monastery as soon as possible. There aren’t too many of the yers in that sector yet. Those people from the Eastern Continent thought that we were going tounch an attack on the Royal Pce, so they didn’t station much of their forces in the Monastery. Kill as many yers as you can on your way there, but don’t get too greedy. Our objective is the Monastery.”
After giving out his orders, Absalom again reminded the Western Continent yers to avoid hastily attacking the Monastery before the main force arrived.
Despite theck of defenders in the Monastery, Absalom knew that the monks and nuns in the Monastery were tough opponents. They had high magical attacks, as well as self-healing properties. A hasty attack on the Monastery meant high casualties for the Western Continent yers.
The yers from the Western Continent immediately carried out their orders and made their way towards the Monastery. Living up to their status as elites, the yers moved in small groups, avoiding detection by Eastern Continent yers. They retreated from the other battle zones in an orderly fashion, giving off the facade that they were trying to lure their enemies into a trap.
Eastern Continent yers were not as organized as their Western counterparts that were made up entirely of elite yers. They were mostly normal yers without an established chain ofmand and didn’t have any experience inrge-scalebat, which resulted in the streets of Champion City being filled with the corpses of Eastern Continent yers.
Wenshan stared at the streets littered with the corpses of the Eastern Continent yers. Many of them respawned right after they were killed inbat, leaving behind countless skeletons and tombstones. The city would’ve felt like a ghost town had it not been for the grandiose background music of Champion City and the glittery sun hanging in the sky. Wenshan couldn’t help but wonder if the same thing would happen if the Royal Capital of the Western Continent was invaded one day.
Other than the skeletons and tombstones, the streets were covered with a sea of equipment. Some of the equipment looked expensive, while there were also others that were worthless. At a time like this, however, who would have the time to pick up all this equipment?
As he retreated, Intoxicated spotted an Eastern Continent yer who was at least lvl25 sneaking around, picking up equipment that was dropped by other yers. Intoxicated raised his staff and cast Explosion on the yer. The yer hadn’t expected that the retreating Western Continent yers wouldunch such an attack. With his low level and inferior equipment, the yer was instantly killed, and the items and equipment he’d picked up fell to the ground.
Wenshan, who was passing by, couldn’t help but sigh, “You don’t have to kill everyone in sight you know... He’s not a threat to us.”
Intoxicated snorted, “I didn’t kill him because of any threats he might pose. The yers from their separate continents are fighting to the death on the front lines, but somebody like him is here trying to make a profit! Why should I let him live?”
Wenshan let out a chuckle. The importance of teamwork was a philosophy that was always preached by Intoxicated. With such a philosophy, he became one of the most famousmanders throughout the entire Western Continent.
“Fleeting Time, who was the one dropping the bombs?” Absalom sent a message to Fleeting Time after reorganizing his forces.
“Gongzi You.”
Absalom was momentarily stunned. Unlike Fleeting Time who would only pay attention to people who were of interest to him, Absalom who was the leader of thergest guild in the Western Continent; as well as the continent’smander in chief, knew the names of all the expert yers from all four continents. He immediately followed up with another question after hearing the name, “Wasn’t she the Huntress who had a draw with you in a PK during the Dragon Dance Competition?”
“Yup.”
After a slight pause, Absalom let out a sigh, “So it’s her... I feel vindicated now.”
