Chapter 1531 - Kingdom Upheaval
After the various large Guilds and adventurer teams had retreated from Bewildering Forest Town, players heatedly discussed the Orc siege on Star-Moon Kingdom's official forums.
The uploaded recordings of the siege war shocked everyone in the kingdom.
Although the various large Guilds frequently clashed, with some even waging large-scale wars against each other, there was simply no comparing those battles with the Orc army's assault. The difference between them was like the difference between heaven and earth. The recordings were enough to showcase the Orc army's intense bloodlust.
"With so many Orcs in that army, it seems Bewildering Forest Town is doomed. I wonder if the Orcs will continue on and attack another location?"
"I doubt that. This should be some kind of system event. If the Orc army goes on to capture other towns in Star-Moon Kingdom and weakens those NPCs, Star-Moon Kingdom is doomed."
"You can't say that for sure. As soon as the Empire's Rise expansion pack took effect, the Orc Empire invaded and took over a portion of the several neighboring kingdoms and empires' land as well."
"I guess so. If that is the case, the neighboring towns are in trouble. What Guild could possibly hold off so many Orcs? I've heard that every Guild in Bewildering Forest Town has retreated. Not even a 300,000-plus elite army can stop the Orcs now."
"No, that's not entirely true. I've heard that Zero Wing is still fighting in Bewildering Forest Town right now."
"Zero Wing? Don't get your hopes up. Zero Wing's only sent a 1,000 players to the town. They're simply trying to put on an act. There aren't even enough of them to serve as a snack for the Orcs. Who knows? They might have retreated by now."
"No. Based on what I've just heard from Zero Wing's members, the team is still there. Moreover, the players Zero Wing dispatched are members of its main force."
"Maybe they're trying to grind EXP? After all, there are plenty of Orcs there. A single large-scale destruction Spell could easily damage over a hundred Orcs. Also, among those Orcs, even the weakest is a Level 40 Special Elite. From what I've heard, they seem to give a lot of EXP. The only problem is the buff they have that reduces the majority of the damage they receive."
Some players were excited about the Orc siege, while others were anxious. On the one hand, the Orc invasion meant more opportunities to earn Contribution Points. However, to the players operating around the towns close to Bewildering Forest Town, the town's fall meant that their towns could be the next target. If their towns fell to the Orcs, then all of the effort they've put into building the town's foundations would go to waste. This was especially true for Guilds that occupied these towns.
…
"Zero Wing's members are still there?" Singular Burial, who had returned to Star-Moon City, revealed a confused expression when he heard the report from his subordinate.
In his opinion, Zero Wing had been putting on an act. After all, the Orc siege simply wasn't something current players could defend against.
"Guild Leader Singular, just ignore Zero Wing. Although we didn't gain many Guild Honor Points or Guild Influence, it doesn't significantly affect our plans. Our main priority now is the recently discovered Ancient Rock City. Once we take down the Orc Empire's Ancient Rock City, Heaven's Burial will dominate the several neighboring kingdoms, let alone Star-Moon Kingdom," Lei Jingyang said, laughing. "Didn't you mention that Flame Blood's team is ready? When will we take action?"
"Flame Blood's side is ready, but we don't have enough Guild Honor Points. With the amount we have, we can only hire 5,000 mercenaries. Had we successfully defended Bewildering Forest Town, we might've been able to hire 8,000 mercenaries. It would've been enough to guarantee our success in capturing Ancient Rock City," Singular Burial said, sighing.
