Chapter 262: The defending Falling Wind Town quest

Falling Wind Town was the closest town to Heavenly Stellar City, but it was still separated by a length.  With the move speed of a normal player, it would take them around an hour to reach Heavenly Stellar City.

So, there were quite a few people that came through here.  There were also many players that leveled near Falling Wind Town that chose to come here to pick up supplies.

But today, there was a kind of ”depression”.  With a single glance, he could not see the existence of any players.

What was going on?

Before Ye Tian Xie could find this out, his communication device sounded and Zuo Po Jun's voice came through, ”Second brother…..Why are you in Falling Wind Town?  Didn't you say that you were already in the southern Heavenly Sun City?”

”Of course I was transported here, it's nothing strange.  Do you not know what a teleportation scroll is?”  Ye Tian Xie said with curled lips.  The Lost Continent was even bigger than the entirety of China and there were no modern vehicles in this world.  So, to make it easier for players, the majority of towns would have town return scrolls for sale.  As long as one had a town return scroll for that city, they could immediately go there.

Otherwise, players would spit out blood over the travel time needed to go from Heavenly Stellar City to far off places.  Most of their game time would be spent on traveling.

”That's wrong, that's wrong!”  Zuo Po Jun had a strange tone to it, ”Falling Wind Town should have closed off their teleportation scroll effects.  I just tried it and I couldn't teleport to Falling Wind Town.  Second brother, did you really use a return scroll to go there?”

Ye Tian Xie was a little surprised before saying in a suspicious voice, ”Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back so quickly from Heavenly Sun City even if I flew back……Did you just say that Falling Wind Town had closed off their teleportation scroll effects?  What do you mean by that?”

Zuo Po Jun felt dizzy, not being able to understand what had just happened to Ye Tian Xie.  He had already confirmed the fact that Falling Wind Town had turned off their teleportation scroll effects personally.  He had tried to use the Falling Wind Town Return Scroll several times, but they had all failed.  However, Ye Tian Xie would not need to joke with him about this, so he seriously said, ”It's absolutely true because…..there is a defense quest in Falling Wind Town right now which the Red Leaves Guild stole.  During the defense quest, they effects of town return scrolls are turned off, this is a very fixed rule.”  After a pause, he finally couldn't help asking again, ”Second brother…..did you really, really use a town return scroll?”

”It's like this…..I did use a town return scroll to come here.  Forget it, this isn't that important, it's probably just a mistake on the system's part.  Is the defense quest hard?  Why……is there not a single player here?”  Ye Tian Xie looked around before asking.

”Because, the Red Leaves Guild met some problems.”  Zuo Po Jun replied.

”Problems?”

The so called defense quest was not as simple as just ”defending” or being a ”quest”.

If a guild wanted to develop, then they needed to expand their territory and their sphere of influence.  The Lost Continent had rulers at every cla.s.s and if one had enough strength, then they could occupy a town or city that hasn't been occupied yet…..Unless you were strong enough to fight the entirety of the Lost Continent by yourself.  To expand one's forces, it was important to defend one's city.  Guilds could defend cities and then take it over.  Low level guilds could take on low level defense quest, average level players could take on defense quests for more advanced towns, high level players could take on defense quests for cities, and even high level players could accept defense quests for Main Cities.

Completing a city defense quest could raise the level of the city…..At the same time, the more important part was that after finis.h.i.+ng a defense quest, the power finis.h.i.+ng the quest had the qualification to establish a division of their power in that town.  At the same time, a city could only have a defense quest every month, which also meant that the first influence that finished the defense quest would have a month to safely expand their forces.  A month was more than enough to build a solid foundation for their influence.

According to the rules of the online gaming world, a power that finished the defense quest first would solidify their influence in that area and that area could be considered their territory.  If another power wanted to take over after a month pa.s.sed, it would be considered a type of ”invasion” and the original force would do their best to stop them.  After an influence ”occupied” a city long enough and they had enough prestige, the citizens of the city could show favour to them and welcome them, or they could try to chase them away.
