Chapter 329 - 310 [Demon Siege War]

Chapter 329: Chapter 310 [Demon Siege War]


System: In 42 hours, the first global [Monster Siege War] will commence. Players (especially guild presidents) are advised to prepare in advance to resist the demon invasion (all teleportation arrays will be disabled during the event and will only resume after the event ends).


System: [Main City Defense War] Rules: Players can choose and bind to one of the Four Major Cities to defend against the demon invasion alongside the city guard. Players and cities that succeed in defense will be able to exchange their demon hunting points for rewards with the event ambassador; if they fail (activating the city lord) during defense, the earned points and rewards will be halved.


System: [Stronghold Defense War] Rules: Established guilds can choose whether or not to participate. Those who choose to participate will have their strongholds included in the monster attack range and will not be protected. Successfully defending the stronghold will result in a level-up; failing will reset the stronghold to level 1, so please choose carefully.


System: Distribution/Level of Demons: Cyan Dragon City: Lv10-Lv19; Black Tortoise City: Lv20-Lv29; Vermilion Bird City: Lv30-Lv39; White Tiger City: Lv40-Lv49; demon levels attacking the stronghold are calculated as: the average level of guild members + stronghold level = actual demon level (if the actual demon level is lower than the minimum average battle zone level Lv23, it will be calculated as the battle zone average Lv23 + stronghold level = actual demon level).


Lin Yi looked at the forum information about the event, noting it was basically the same as the rules of the first [Monster Siege War] before his rebirth.


This event could actually be considered a welfare event for players from the system in disguise.


Especially for players choosing the [Main City Defense War], it’s practically a freebie.


Players can not only level up by fighting monsters but also exchange generous rewards with points earned from monster slaying at the event ambassador.


The exchangeable rewards are divided into: equipment, mounts, and pet eggs, as well as some commonly used items, all very practical things.


The highest-level equipment available for exchange during this event is the Legendary Level; mounts and pet eggs include rare levels.


However, aiming for this tier of rewards is evidently beyond the reach of ordinary players.


Not only because the points required for exchange are high, but also because this tier of rewards is limited in number, with only 20 items each.


Upon the event’s conclusion, these rewards will simultaneously be up for exchange in the form of a points auction, with the highest bidder obtaining them after a 10-minute bidding phase.


Of course, this is not the main focus; the emphasis of this event lies in the [Stronghold Defense War].


Guild players deeply understand how difficult it is to upgrade strongholds.


Since the game’s public beta, the highest-level stronghold remains just level 3.


Currently, in the Hua Country War Zone, only four guilds have strongholds that reached level 3: Proud Sanctuary, Shengshi Dynasty, Luoshen, and Famous Clan.


And to date, no level 4 stronghold has emerged.


It’s said that reaching level 4 will be a significant watershed.


When a stronghold reaches level 4, the guild member count can soar by 2,000, and the guild’s stronghold will upgrade to a small village.


Once a stronghold becomes a small village, both its defense capabilities and attribute bonuses for guild members will see substantial enhancements, and the guild president will automatically earn the title of village head.


With the title of village head, the president can request the main city for 100 NPC guards to station in the village for defense and enjoy certain benefits and privileges brought by the village head status in the major cities.


This temptation is undoubtedly fatal to major guilds.


While the title of village head might be small, it’s still an official position!


The national war system hasn’t been updated, so currently, in the game system, this is the ’only’ path for players to gain an official position.


So for reaching level 4 with their strongholds, these four guilds are pulling out all the stops.


But with their current methods, they would need at least over two months to reach level 4.


In two months, too many things can change within the game.


So with this opportunity to save more than two months of time and resources, they couldn’t help but be on high alert.


Perhaps due to Feng Hua, or maybe some agreement between them, the open struggles among the major guilds seem to have decreased significantly.


However, the underground rivalry has never ceased, especially the title of the number one guild in the Hua Country War Zone, which these four guilds are striving to claim.


As they say, outsiders watch the fun, insiders watch the intricacies.


As soon as the event was announced, players seemed to have sensed the intense atmosphere among the guilds.


Particularly in the competition for some free agents, the guilds nearly gathered for a verbal showdown.


There’s even a rumor that Shengshi Dynasty directly acquired a few competent guilds and began personnel adjustments.


Meanwhile, Luoshen and Proud Sanctuary have also undergone frequent personnel changes, seemingly ready to go all in.


Notably, when a guild chooses to participate, each is granted an additional 100 support slots.


These support slots do not count against the guild’s existing member count, and players opting for support do not have to leave their previous guild (Mercenary Corps).


Once the event begins, only guild members and support members can enter the stronghold, while others cannot.


This rule has put the spotlight on Creation Mercenary Corps’ movements.


After all, mercenary corps cannot establish strongholds, so there’s no question of them defending a stronghold.


Thus, everyone is curious about who Creation Mercenary Corps might choose to help upgrade to a level 4 stronghold (village).


Unexpectedly, the first public announcement was from Guild Phantom City, declaring they had secured the assistance of the number one Divine Shepherd, Rabbit.


Currently, Phantom City’s stronghold is at level 2, so even if they defend successfully, it would only upgrade to level 3, hence it didn’t draw much attention.


Soon after, Famous Clan announced that handsome Shuaidaozha would temporarily return and resume his position as the president until the end of the event, accompanied by Divine Thief Tianci and Red Eyes in supporting Famous Clan.


News of this announcement caused an uproar.


Combining the announcements from the two guilds, players realized that Creation Mercenary Corps seemed to have ’split up’? This might be the first instance since the game’s launch.


Given this, curiosity about the whereabouts of the remaining members grew even stronger.


Especially Feng Hua’s ultimate choice, which captivated players’ attention.


If any guild manages to secure Feng Hua’s support, beyond Feng Hua’s personal abilities, the morale boost alone would be immensely beneficial.


Official data shows that nearly a hundred guilds have chosen to participate in the siege defense.


This means nearly all guilds with strongholds in the Hua Country War Zone have chosen to participate.


For most of them, who have level 1 strongholds, participating in the event becomes a guaranteed ’business venture’ with no loss.
