Chapter 396: The Players Day of Rest (part Six) (1/2)

After capturing or wiping out the hill-folk who had sneaked into Valla, the tides of attacking beasts from around the nation subsided, even though some magical beasts still roamed those places. Perhaps they found that their new hunting grounds were much more convenient, but they were lacking as a wave and were not be a direct threat against Valla.

Kristina, Scepter of the Temple of Glory who led their task forces to attack the hill-folk therefore received her church’s commendations too.

While the God of War did not involve himself in Xi Wei and the Lord of the Peaks’ wager, Kristina had led the sacred corps to deal a vicious blow against the hill-folk, allowing the hierarchs of her faith to vent their grievances against the hill-folk. Indeed, that one battle alone would also prevent the hill-folk from making trouble in Valla for several years to come.

It was worth mentioning here that the hill-folk who were imprisoned in the dungeon within the Unnamed Town were released. After swearing upon their own faith that they won’t attempt revenge and working at the various Players’ bases as laborers, they were then released to the hills.

Nonetheless, only the first major tribe of hill-folk led by the Hill Shaman Kaven Mor (who was given a nutcracking) had been mostly captured. Of the two other major-tribes, one was wiped-out directly by the Temple of Glory and the other being routed by the Players, with not many of them being taken prisoners.

It was also too much of a hassle to have them convert their religion or keep them in the dungeon, and too cruel if they were all killed. The latter might also give the impression to other gods that Xi Wei’s faction was sadistic, which was why after more consideration, Xi Wei decided to have the hill-folk labor for their freedom.

And having been defeated, the Lord of the Peaks would not have much of a say against his followers being punished with menial labor.

But that was getting far from the point.

Either way, after clearing their event, the Players naturally had to organize a feast in celebration.

Moreover, the feast celebrates both the mini-event of the hill-folks’ invasion and the Elven Synchronized Intellect Nation (SIN) event.

After all, the last event was so difficult that even first-rate Players like Edward had died more than once. Almost every Player who took part in the event was beyond tired when it finally ended, which was why no feast was held, aside from the little parties that the more energetic Players organized.

And after the hill-folk event was over, Leah the Warrior Princess came to Angora, asking that he could back the Players for a major feast.

The hill-folk event had not much charm for Leah since she was a hidden-class in the first place, which was why she merely skirted around the event and had a good rest, recharging herself.

Like her, Angora was an Overlord Player and not a fighting-class. Feeling quite spirited himself, he thought that the Unnamed Town had not been particularly attractive to the Players recently and needed some new excitement, which was why he immediately agreed to Princess Leah’s request.

Xi Wei, who was in his Divine Kingdom digesting the divinity fragment from the Lord of the Peaks naturally saw that as well. When he thought about it, he did get that fragment and allowed several top Players to swap for hidden-classes, whereas the unlucky average Players had to drag along their fatigued bodies to fight the hill-folk, which got them nothing aside from EXP, game coins, and certain not-too-rare items and certainly deals a blow to their motivation.
