373 The Forthcoming Battle With Victoria City (1/2)
”Here! Here! Put more rocks here!”
Dragonborn stood on a City Wall and directed the Guild members to move rocks to designated locations. They were building a portion of the City Wall that was assigned to their Guild, For that night with Sherlock.
The previous wooden wall was used temporarily to defend against wild beasts. Before it was completed, the gamers weren't happy with the wooden walls. How could the grand Victoria City use wood to make its City Walls?
They had to use rocks!
The gamers started proposing this on the forum. The designer gamers came up with a simple construction method for the City Walls, and they also planned the location based on the size of the city.
This matter had to be discussed with Duchess Lilo. Otherwise, it would cost money to buy the land.
Lilo wasn't concerned about the usage of land, she was only concerned about making the gamers powerful and using the crystal ball to spy on Sherlock.
As far as the applications to use the land were concerned, Lilo approved all of them.
The gamers were passionate in their work even though there were no rewards. It wasn't a problem for the sandbox building gamers.
Victoria City only had the Ogre Fortress Instance Dungeon, the Sighing Wilderness, and the Spiders' Lair for the gamers to explore.
The requirements for the Ogre Fortress were too high. Though Dragonborn was qualified, his Reputation Level wasn't. Within a short time, none of the gamers of Victoria City would be able to enter the Ogre Fortress. The new Instance Dungeon was made for the gamers of Eternal Kingdom.
”Dragonborn! Did you see the posts on the discussion forum? Hoodlum's Weapon Level is at 10!”
A Human quickly ran over to Dragonborn and shouted, attracting the attention of other gamers.
”Impossible. Isn't Hoodlum currently captured and being kept as a slave? How can a slave train up their Weapon Level? And his Weapon Level is higher than Arthur? Is he bluffing?” TakeASpearHit commented condescendingly.
”Yes, perhaps he was online every day just to train his combat skills. Didn't he do other things? I don't believe it.”
SealHeadLingChong was skeptical, but the person who read the post shouted, ”It's real! The forum post has a screenshot of his attributes. Take a look at Hoodlum's post.”
”Let's take a look!”
TakeASpearHit intended to go offline to take a look. It was then that he heard a ”Swoosh” sound and saw blood splattering in front of him. An arrow had penetrated his chest.
”Holy cow…”
TakeASpearHit cursed and sat down slowly on a stack of rocks. Grotesque blood dripped all over the place, and he perished.
There were sounds of galloping hooves. Within the forest, Edward Scissorhand wielded a Bow as he took aim at Dragonborn, who was on the wall. With a ”Swoosh” sound, the arrow penetrated Dragonborn's throat, and he collapsed to the ground.
Edward Scissorhand noticed that Dragonborn was their leader. Him going outside the city boundary to construct the City Walls was careless!
Edward Scissorhand knew that he had to seize the opportunity, so he led his bandits and charged out while they held the upper hand. Edward Scissorhand was right, as there were no reinforcements from Victoria City.
The Guild For that night with Sherlock only had 100 members, and less than 50 members were building the City Walls. As it was at the border area, it was far from Victoria City. The forest didn't have wild beasts, so the gamers wouldn't go over there. Most of the gamers traveled to the Sighing Wilderness or the Spiders' Lair via the Teleport Portal to obtain materials, earn Reputation Points, complete missions, and increase their Weapon Levels.
Only those gamers who were allocated the mission to construct the City Walls and those interested individual gamers would be here.
Edward Scissorhand was merciless. With only tens of bandits, he killed everyone except for one prisoner.
That Human, who had green symbols above his head, laid on the ground while spitting blood. He lifted his hand with great effort, wanting to end his life with a Dagger, but he didn't have enough strength. He scolded, ”Gosh, why isn't there a self-destruct or suicide setting? Do they want me to die slowly?”
