Chapter 1371 - Kingdom Changes
Purple Thorns Kingdom, Rock Sand City:
Before Shi Feng could react, the system had teleported him here.
Hm? Why did it teleport me to this city? Shi Feng was little confused as he looked at his current location the system displayed.
In the past, he had always been transported to Star-Moon Kingdom's Dark Lake Town after leaving the Orc Palace's treasury, yet he had been sent to the Purple Thorns Kingdom this time.
The Teleportation Hall bustled with activity. Shi Feng could even hear many independent teams recruiting members in the hall.
"Recruiting a team to grind Orc Bosses in Lakefront Town for Honor Points! Level 40-plus experts only! We already have a healer!"
"Recruiting for an escort quest, delivering resources to the frontline! Need two more players! Level 38 and above! Must have in Level 35 Secret-Silver Equipment or above! We already have MTs and healers!"
…
Practically every independent team wanted elite players or better. Shi Feng found such a scene hard to imagine in a border city like Rock Sand City.
However, how fast these independent teams filled their slots was even more shocking.
What is up with this city? After glancing at the players in the Teleportation Hall, he discovered that practically every player was at the elite standard or above. There were even quite a few Level 40-plus independent experts. The activity in this city's Teleportation Hall could even rival White River City's.
Although Rock Sand City was a major NPC city in the Purple Thorns Kingdom, it was close to the kingdom's border. The region didn't have particularly abundant resources, either. Hence, finding so many players developing in Rock Sand City was unusual. Expert players should be an even rarer sight.
Yet, not only was Rock Sand City's player population surprisingly high, but the quality of its players was also stunning.
Before Shi Feng could get a grasp of the situation, one of the larger-sized Teleportation Magic Arrays lit up. A team of Level 40-plus players then emerged. Every one of these players wore a Guild Emblem belonging to none other than the first-rate Guild, Star Alliance. Upon arriving, the Star Alliance members quickly left the Teleportation Hall. They summoned their Mounts and made their way towards Rock Sand City's main entrance.
By the looks of it, they seemed to be in a rush.
Shortly after the Star Alliance's team arrived, teams from other large Guilds began to teleport in. Like the Star Alliance's teams, these teams also hurried towards the city's entrance.
After watching this, Shi Feng connected to the official forums to get a better idea of what was happening. The fact that so many large Guilds had dispatched their expert and elite teams suggested that something big was going down.
So, this is the case. Realization quickly dawned on Shi Feng after he read through the Purple Thorns Kingdom's official forums.
Due to the "Empire's Rise" expansion pack, Orcs had begun to occupy areas near the Mourning Battlefield. Although they had yet to occupy a large area, they were expanding. Meanwhile, the Mourning Battlefield was now beyond recognition. The Orcs had already claimed several neutral maps nearby. Thus far, four kingdoms had been affected by the Mourning Battlefield's expansion.
