The territory had finally appeared. The village did not appear as a dot on the map, which proved that the territory was still ownerless!
I was extremely excited, but the problem right now was how to take the territory. If I charged in alone, would I be surrounded and killed?
If he were to ask for help, it would be too difficult. If he wanted to reach the Ancient Battlefield, he would have to pass through the Moonlight Forest, then the Frozen Canyon and the Despair Glacier. The Moonlight Forest was still fine, but the Frozen Canyon and the Despair Glacier were enough to filter out all players below Level 75, especially the Despair Glacier. If players were below Level 75 and did not have a full set of Gold-grade equipment or above, not to mention killing monsters, even staying alive would be a problem. The Magic Attack of those Ice Charms was quite powerful!
After thinking for a moment, I decided to contact Ling Xue and the others first. Something unexpected might happen, and I couldn't handle it alone.
So I immediately sent the same message to Ling Xue, Ling Yue, and Dragon Soul: "I've found the territory's coordinates. Quickly gather all players above Level 75 at the entrance of Frozen Canyon. Ling Xue will be the party leader in an hour. I will tell Ling Xue the coordinates. Everyone, be careful!"
As a result, the three of them excitedly agreed. It didn't take long for them to report to me about the number of players they had gathered. Since the level requirement was too high, Snow Moon, Eternal World, and the other two guilds had only managed to gather 194 players. But that was enough. They were all elites, the type that could take on ten players at once!
I pulled Ling Xue, Ling Yue, and Dragon Soul into my party. Then, they created sub-parties. This way, I would be able to see their coordinates. On the map, three dots of light were approaching Frozen Canyon from different directions.
Next, I would explore the secrets of the territory. It would be convenient for us to work together.
I was overjoyed. The first territory that spawned was as valuable as I thought. This territory was located between Frozen Canyon and the Primordial Battlefield. Players below Level 120 could grind at Frozen Canyon, and players above Level 120 could head to the Primordial Battlefield, which was even scarier. If I could turn this territory into a city, then it would be no different from another White Cloud City, and I was going to be its city lord!
Haha, I'm rich, I'm rich!
As we slaughtered our way forward, Ling 'er and I increased our damage output to the max. We quickly approached the village. The first batch of NPCs that came out to scout the way had all been killed. These NPCs were only around Level 120. They were no match for the large number of strengthened monsters outside!
The moment we got close, I received a message —
Ding ~!
System Notice: You have entered Territory No. 1. This territory has yet to be occupied. Kill all the monsters in the territory and kill the territory's boss to obtain the King's Token. After that, you may apply for a countdown to occupy the territory. The holder of the King's Token must still be within the territory and has yet to be killed. The countdown will last for 10 hours.
… …
I was pleasantly surprised. So it was that easy? In that case, there shouldn't be any problems. I had already called for reinforcements, so it shouldn't be a problem to hold out for ten hours!
That was why I sent Ling Xue to scout ahead. Ling Xue's Defense was so high that no one could one-shot her, but I was different. A hundred high-level mages could one-shot me...
The entrance to the village was just a wooden fence, but there were two blade-wielding guards and two archers guarding it. When we got close, the NPCs' names turned blood-red. They had clearly been turned into monsters.
Using Star Eyes, I saw that the blade-wielding guards were Level 125 with 2200 Attack, and the archers were Level 130 with 2400 Attack. They were both elite mobs, so it would be difficult to defeat them.
"Ling Xue, hypnotize the archer first. Then, we'll focus on killing the guard on the right side of the gate!"
"Okay!"
Ling'er quickly transformed into a demonic fox and used a hypnotic technique to make the archer fall into a deep sleep. Then, Ling'er began to transform into a bear and directly pounced on the knife-wielding guard on the right!
Puchi!
Ling Xue's claws slashed down, and the blade-wielding guard's HP dropped by a large chunk. I took the opportunity to attack from behind and used Total Annihilation and Shield Break Slash. The blade-wielding guard's HP dropped sharply, and in less than half a minute, he fell to the ground with a whimper. However, he didn't drop anything.
I pointed my sword at the archer. His Attack was too high, and he was a long-range attacker. He was too much of a threat to me!
Crack crack crack!
I hit the archer three times in a row, but the archer actually dodged my last attack and quickly retreated. He was trying to increase the distance between us and fight again!
Clearly, this was a monster that gave me a headache!
I immediately threw a Shadow Trap in the archer's retreat path. At the same time, I flashed behind the archer, blocking his position while continuing to deal damage. Ling Xue attracted the firepower of the other blade-wielding guard and helped me kill the archer.
Although the archer was difficult to kill, it still fell after two minutes. During this time, I had already used 6 health potions. It really wasn't good without a priest!
After we killed the three mobs outside the gate, I couldn't help but wipe the sweat off my forehead. These Level 125 elite mobs had clearly been strengthened too much. Originally, I could have used Thousand Blade Arrow against a group of Level 125 mobs, but these were Level 125 mobs. Trying to use Thousand Blade Arrow against them was practically suicidal.
I walked up to the gate and pushed it open. Two Level 125 blade-wielding guards immediately pounced at me. I immediately lured them out and killed them one by one.
Ling Xue's Defense was super high, and her health regeneration was several times faster than mine. Therefore, she entered the territory and lured the mobs. Surprisingly, the territory was very, very small. It was about the size of White Cloud City's eastern gate plaza, which was about the size of a village...
Just like that, we killed the mobs with great difficulty. When we had cleared nearly half of the mobs inside the territory, Ling Xue's party finally arrived!
"Scholar, are you in the territory?" Ling Yue asked in the party channel.
"Mn. Clear a path and come in yourself!"
"Okay!"
There is strength in numbers. In less than ten minutes, the 200-man party had cleared out all the Rotten Infantry and entered the territory.
Ling Xue and Ling Yue were the first to enter the territory. They looked around happily and said, "Haha, we're the first to enter the territory. We just need to kill all the mobs here, right?"
Bing Cha, Qin Yun, Soundless Rain, Summer and Zi Yue were also there. Xue Yue Studio had finally reunited in the game after a few days, and everyone was very happy to see each other again.
I said, "You have to kill a boss here and get a Guardian Token. Only then can the territory countdown begin. If the boss isn't conquered in 10 hours, you'll be able to claim the territory!
Didn't you read the introduction when you entered the territory? "
Ling Xue blinked once before replying with a smile, "I was too happy just now, so I didn't notice!"
"In that case, let's kill all the mobs in the territory first!"
"En!"
Hence, everyone split up into three parties and quickly killed the Territory Guards within the territory. Everyone's levels were not low, and their equipment was also top-tier, so they were able to kill the Territory Guards very quickly.
At this time, Gui Zhi came to my side and said in a low voice, "Boss, I just received news that Arrogant Maniac and Blood Drinker the World have started to move. They know our coordinates. I don't know who leaked the news, but in two hours, Arrogant Maniac and Blood Drinker will arrive here!"
I was slightly stunned and said, "Forget it, there's no such thing as an airtight wall. We just have to force them back."
Gui Zhi nodded his head, and said: "I'm just a little worried, I keep having the feeling that Arrogant World Madman and Blood Drinker the World are plotting something. Moreover, the heaven's pride guild led by the heaven's pride child is also together with Arrogant World Madman and the others, and is currently gathering outside the Moonlight Forest."
I sucked in a deep breath and said, "Let our people gather too!
Things might be more serious than I thought. Let everyone prepare. All players above Level 60 have to join. Gather ten thousand people and enter the Ancient Battlefield. We must take this territory!
If not, Snow Moon will be in a very passive position! "
Gui Zhi agreed and said, "Okay, I will do it right away. Tell Ling Yue and Ling Xue to gather Snow Moon and Eternal's people. I don't have the guts to order them. Hehe ~ Scholar's relationship with them isn't simple!"
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Hurry up and gather our brothers in the guild. I'll talk to Ling Xue and Ling Yue.
I found Ling Xue and Ling Yue in the crowd and told them about the matter. The twins agreed and started to gather the players of the two guilds to enter the Ancient Battlefield!
At the same time, news spread in the guild channel —
"Time Like Water is moving too. D * mn!
They gathered close to twenty thousand people and have started to pass through Moonlight Forest! "
"Also, the beautiful boss of the Rain Listening Pavilion is leading 5000 people!"
"Wishing Pond, Doomsday Army, and Death Nocturne are moving too. Close to twenty thousand people have entered Moonlight Forest!"
"The 800 Riders, who have been quiet for a long time, are moving too. The general is leading twenty thousand people into Frozen Canyon from the west of White Cloud City!"
… …
The news kept coming. In a short half an hour, the coordinates of this territory had become a secret that everyone knew!
It looked like this territory war would evolve into a war between the twenty or so guilds of White Cloud City!
Arrogant Madman and Blood Drinker the World were fine. The three guilds of Snow Moon were not afraid of them at all. The boss of the Rain Listening Pavilion, Listening To The Rain From The Window, had already promised me that she would stand on my side, so there was no need to worry. As for Wishing Pond, Doomsday Army, and Death Nocturne, to be honest, they were just a mob in my eyes. There was no need to consider them at all.
However, what worried me the most was Uncle Solitary Grave's Like Water!
As the second Rank 2 guild of White Cloud City, Like Water had thirty thousand elite players. Only they could pose a huge threat to Snow Moon. I had to be careful!
Very soon, all the monsters in the territory were wiped out. Xing Tian dragged his axe and ran back while shouting, "Be careful, the boss is coming!"
Boom!
A shabby wooden house was completely destroyed. A giant red-headed centipede appeared in the territory!
Its body was like a small mountain, and it was eight feet long. Its waist was also eight feet wide, and its eyes were as large as copper tombs. Its densely packed claws were known as hundred feet, but these hundred feet were as sharp as steel blades. An Eternal Priest who was hit by the centipede's claws instantly returned to the city to be reborn.
Flying Fire held his sword and commanded, "Don't panic. Long-range attackers, keep your distance. Shield fighters, pay attention to the boss's aggro!"
Then, just as a knight with a shield stepped forward, the centipede's upper jaws clamped down on him. In the next moment, he was torn into two pieces!
Flying Fire sweated. "I can't hold on any longer. Strong fighters, please help me!"
Judging Sky raised his shield and charged forward, but he was also hit by the centipede's tail and lost all his health. His face turned ashen and he hurriedly retreated. He couldn't take this much damage.
At this moment, a beautiful figure made a semicircle around the centipede's body and created a thick layer of frost. It was Ling Xue's Frozen Slash.
Even I couldn't see the centipede's level, so it wasn't hard to imagine how sharp it was. The next moment, Ling Xue lost half of her HP to the centipede.
I immediately shouted, "Xiao Xue, come back and let my bear tank the boss!"
Ling Xue was slightly astonished. "Idiot, can your big stupid bear tank it?"
Ling Xue growled in displeasure and immediately charged forward. She raised her claws and scratched the centipede boss. The centipede lost over 3000 HP!
The enraged boss quickly swung its poisoned tail at Ling Xue. However, a shocking scene occurred. The boss's astonishing attack only dealt 2700 damage to Ling Xue!
"Wow!
This bear's Defense is so high! "Ling Xue's seductive mouth fell open in shock.
"Of course!"
I was extremely pleased. What a joke. Our Ling Xue's Defense was 4200. Who could compete with her?
"All priests, focus on healing the bear!" Ling Xue ordered.
And so, Ling Xue tanked the centipede while the others dealt damage. Although the centipede monster's level and rank were incredibly high, its HP was rapidly decreasing.
At this time, Dragon Soul's expression changed and he said, "Arrogant Madman found a hidden class player. He seems to be a spatial mage or something. Right now, he's outside Moonlight Forest and is releasing a huge magic teleportation formation. Could it be, could it be..."
At the same time, a Level 76 Warrior from Snow Moon's guild called Soul Possession suddenly took a few steps back and raised his sword to cast a spell. In an instant, a magic formation appeared with him at the center!
My heart sank and I gritted my teeth. "F * ck, a spy has appeared. Kill him!"
Obviously, this person was hiding in our guild as a guide. Without his help, the enemy's magic formation wouldn't have reached here!
But it was too late. In an instant, a large number of Arrogant players had entered the territory through the magic formation. Seven-star Lamp was the first to bear the brunt of the attack.
Dragon Soul's face paled. "It's over!
We were careless and fell for Lin Ao's trap! "
