466 Yggdrasill and Dragonborn (1/2)

Sylvanas' bribe wasn't successful, as her bribe of one million Renminbi was too high to be believable.

The members of the Pioneer Alliance started attacking the Stronghold that was holding Sylvanas.

Sylvanas heard the explosions and occasional footsteps outside.

As the Stronghold was far from the Revival Point in Eternal Kingdom, the members of Changan City weren't able to replenish their dead members.

If the members were killed in battle, there was no chance of rejoining the battle since they had to pass through the Sighing Wilderness and walk through a long tunnel. If they didn't travel in a group, they could be killed by Underground Spiders and Dire Wolves.

This was advantageous to the members of the Pioneer Alliance.

At the forest Stronghold, as the Revival Point was nearby and the way to the Stronghold was relatively safe, both Changan City and the Pioneer Alliance were able to replenish their dead members quickly.

That was why the forest battle lasted for a long time.

NotWearingPants led his members in a fierce attack against the Changan City Stronghold. They used Bladder Bombs and new weapons that were designed by Hemp Rope Technology, such as the Rune Mana Bombs.

It was a Bladder Bomb that had a Rune Mana enchantment. The enchantment increased the power of the explosion and allowed delayed detonation.

The power of the new bomb was a few times stronger than the original Bladder Bomb, but the cost was much higher. A Rune Mana Formation was required, and it required Mana materials to create.

Even rich gamers like Arthur, BurningChestHair, and Sylvanas didn't have much money to create such Rune Mana Bombs.

Their only stock of Rune Mana Bombs was used to bomb the Changan City Stronghold at the Sighing Wilderness to rescue Sylvanas.

The walls of the Stronghold weren't able to withstand the bombs of the Pioneer Alliance and were destroyed within seconds.

NotWearingPants led his members into the Stronghold and killed the Changan City members.

The members of the Pioneer Alliance were all First Beta Gamers.

Their equipment and combat experience were superior to the Changan City members. The elite Pioneer Alliance members charged into the Stronghold and demolished the defenses of the Changan City members.

When NotWearingPants thought he had won, he heard battle cries coming from outside the Stronghold.

NotWearingPants didn't know what happened, but the members of the Pioneer Alliance behind took a look.

”They're from other Guilds. Changan City and the other Guilds formed an alliance!” someone yelled.

NotWearingPants was surprised that Changan City had used this tactic, but he could only brace against the incoming attack. They couldn't escape or retreat.

The battle that he was sure of winning had become a precarious situation.

”If we fail, prepare to execute Plan B!”

Plan B was to kill Sylvanas before they committed suicide. They might lose equipment, but if they weren't imprisoned, the loss of equipment wasn't a huge problem.

…

The tied Dragonborn was dragged by a Fairy. Beside him was Tomato, who was also tied up.

The Fairies didn't make things difficult for the two Forest Wolves since they weren't enemies of the Fairies. The Fairies only captured the Humans. Even the young Wyvern was released. The young Wyvern had no intention of leaving and followed Dragonborn throughout the journey. The two Forest Wolves also followed the contingent at a distance and didn't make any rash moves.

Dragonborn walked behind the Fairies for a long time. The Fairies were familiar with the forest, going left and right as they traveled in the forest.

The Fairies chatted while walking. However, Dragonborn was unable to understand their language.

He could guess that they were discussing him and Tomato, as well as the Magicians and mercenaries that they had killed.

”Mentor, where are these Fairies taking us?” Dragonborn asked Tomato, who was walking behind.

A Fairy flapped his wings and moved over to Dragonborn. He slapped Dragonborn's head and said, ”Don't talk, Human. You've broken the agreement and intruded into our territory. We're taking you to stand trial.”

Trial? It wasn't a nice word considering such trials always ended in a death sentence.

Dragonborn hoped that his Strange Encounter Mission wouldn't end this way.

It was highly possible for Dragonborn to be killed this way. If he continued and learned Tomato's assassination skill, then the other gamers had no way of surviving Dragonborn's attack. Even if Arthur had powerful equipment and combat skills, it was of no use against Tomato.

Currently, there was a balance in the game. Whether they were rich or poor, the gamers depended on their combat strength during a PK. Even though equipment could help, it was quite limited. If he learned such an assassination skill, equipment would have no effect against him. The game wouldn't allow him to obtain such a good bonus. It would be very unfair to other gamers. If there was no balance in the game and he could fight against ten gamers, the other gamers wouldn't enjoy the game, and that would be fatal for the game.

That would also mean that Tomato could die or be separated from him. Dragonborn felt sad since he hadn't learned the assassination skill.

Perhaps he would have other missions that allowed him to meet with Tomato.

Tomato pondered. He saw that Dragonborn was also deep in thought and was pleased with him. Though they hadn't been together for a long time, Dragonborn's willpower and training progress were excellent. He was happy that Dragonborn was composed, but he would never know that Dragonborn's mind was in turmoil.

Tomato also considered escaping. However, there were too many Fairies. There were even Fairies on the tree branches.

If he made any strange moves, the Fairies would spit saliva at him. His brain would be penetrated, and he wouldn't have any chance to resist. The Fairies were led to them due to the battle with the Magicians and mercenaries. He had set up a barrier around his small house, so the Fairies shouldn't have felt any Mana ripples.

After hearing about the trial, Tomato became very grave.
