“Herz, what do you think about stopping here for a bit before going again?”
At Fiolan’s words, Herz
“Shall we? Everybody is tired and I think we’ll need some maintenance time”
Herz, as pushi+ng through the snow that was up to his waist, turned around and shouted
“We’ll rest here for one hour! Whoever needs to, should heal up and re-gear individually!”
Just like a guild that was in the top 5 in the Korean server, the Lotus guild gathered up an expedition as soon as the new update happened and was exploring the northern continent
The level range of the expedition was around lv 90
As the expedition started, they gained a lot of levels, so in Fiolan’s case, she was already lv 93
“Who’s on guard duty this time?”
“I am”
“You don’t knoill happen, so don’t loosen your guard!”
“Yes, Sub-Guild Master!”
Their levels weren’t low, but because after going over Crupia Snow Mountain, they were only going to face monsters that were over lv 90, so they needed to always be on guard and ly
In the Ice Ogre’s case, it was a monster that was close to lv 100 which appeared occasionally
“Ha”
After Fiolan checked on the guard on duty, she comfortably sat down
The reason for periodically taking a break and having some maintenance time was also for a safe exploration
Herz, whothe snoay, plopped down next to Fiolan
“The northern continent, it’s definitely tough”
At Fiolan’s words, Herz nodded
“No kidding Nonetheless, this level of difficulty was predictable, so… We gained a lot as well”
“That’s right”
At this expedition, everybody in the Lotus guild expedition overall leveled up 2-3 levels and gained quite a bit of good items
However, the biggest profit was not that part
At this expedition, the Lotus guild achieved a result that was incomparable to any item or level
“It was a good thing we cauild-owned base”
At Fiolan’s words, Herz nodded and agreed
“That’s right”
In Kailran, once a guild is over lv 50, they receive the rights to claiuild-owned territory
There were tays for a guild to obtain a territory, the first way being that they had to invade a territory that another guild or NPCs were controlling and take it froo to an undeveloped land that hadn’t been stepped on by anybody else and occupy that base
Before this update, there was no guild that owned a territory in Kailran Even the guild fauild, gained their first base after the northern continent opened this update
The reason was simple
There was noland in the southern continent
Most of the land in the southern continent, where users had been active in since the game first opened, was already the empires’ territories, and the places that weren’t an empire’s territory were owned by small or medium-sized countries or noble NPCs
But to take the territory of the NPCs, the users’ strengths were still too weak in comparison
The Lotus guild was no different with the other top-ranking guilds
Ever since they first planned the northern expedition, they were planning on occupying at least one base and they had succeeded
As the bases of the users were still barren land in the north, there was no big merit yet
However, if they grew it slowly, eventually it could becoe city, where they could collect taxes from the users and NPCs that resided there
Herz mumbled
“Nohether we can defend the base safely is crucial…”
If a base ned by a guild for the first tined for three months
It was protection received froame system
Lotus guild needed to develop the base they gained this time as fast as possible and within 3 h of a territory, so that it cannot be attacked so easily
“We need to guard it For the next 3 uildthe base”
At Fiolan’s words, Herz nodded
It wasn’t like the guild roould stop just because they only worked on the base development
Rather, in the process of developing the undeveloped land and widening the area of influence, they could level up and had a good chance of obtaining good items
“Seee-scale base, so I think we’ll be able to save on our expenses for the early stage”
Bases were, simply put, toithout owners
The bigger the discovered toas and theexpenses would be saved
“I want to occupy one ht?”
At Fiolan’s words, Herz wore a bitter smile
“I wish to do that as well, if it was forto focus on two bases at the sah in either location and could end up getting theuild Let’s just focus on one place”
“Yes, they were just words I tried saying”
Guilds that fought over ranks like the ‘Dark Luna’ guild or the ‘titan’ guild already had occupied over three to four bases in good locations
However, this was only possible as they were guilds that truly had the best power, and to the Lotus guild, that was impossible
Herz pulled out a cup of hot coffee from his inventory and sipped it
“As soon as this expedition is over, let’s call over all our guild members to the base Let’s also hunt around the base”
There were a lot of e that were a bit much, but they had to take that risk
In order to grow the base quickly, it was most important that they suppress the monsters nearby and widen the territory
“Aside from one person, most likely everybody will be able to come”
At Herz’s words, Fiolan had on a strange expression
“One person? Who?”
Herz smirked
“What do you mean who else, it’s Ian Ian needs to hunt in the southern continent a littleup”
However, Fiolan smirked and shook her head
“Herz, did you know?”
“Yes?”
“Ian should probably be here in the northern continent about now? I’ he’ll be at Crupia Snow Mountain”
The voice of Herz, as taken aback, grew louder
“Huh?”
Fiolan laughed as she continued
“A little while ago, I received a e and he asked me for some information on the northern continent”
“What kind of information?”
