624 Two-Pronged (1/2)
Because of the shocking attack on the mountain, the residents of Atlanta City took out their weapons as they walked on the streets. Quan Zhen Sect and co. went in the direction pointed out by Reynolds and very soon, they arrived at the plaza which was at the heart of the city.
The current plaza was already filled with all sorts of people. The only similarity was that all these people were fully equipped, prepared for a battle.
Looking at all the shiny equipments on these residents, all the players were exceedingly jealous. If it was not for the fact that they were NPCs on their side, some of the players might even start attacking them.
At the centre of the plaza was a platform where an old man with a white beard spoke, ”The Church's army has arrived at our city. They want us to destroy countless years of sweat and blood of the Atlanta Tribe. My children, does anyone have anything to say?”
”We are not going to let them do that!” They had no idea who was the first to shout this, but everyone echoed the same logic. ”We're not going to agree. Even if he is God, we will not give in so easily.”
”Great! No wonder you're all people of Atlanta with unyielding determination. Foreigners, what about you guys? Do you want to fight with us?” After the Great Elder addressed the crowd, he turned to look at the players.
All the residents turned to look at them too.
”What if we say no?” a cautious Ming Du asked.
”Then you will be our enemy,” the NPCs replied in unison.
”Tsk, then what other choice do we have? Of course, we'll stand by your side.” As the leader, Ming Du made the decision on behalf of everyone.
Quest Objective: Assist the people of Atlanta to prevent the invasion of God's army. Current quest completion level 0%.
”F*ck!”
Everyone couldn't help but curse when they saw the quest notification. Originally, the monsters in the dungeon were already of much higher levels than players. Presently, these monsters could take on ten of them at once? How is this even fair?
Of course, nobody questioned Ming Du's decision. In such a situation, nobody dared to suggest any alternatives. If they chose to help, there was a high chance they would be killed by the Holy Knights. However, if they chose not to help, they would definitely be killed at that moment by the people of Atlanta City.
”Boss Fearless, what do we do now?”
At this moment, Moonless Thunder walked up to ask Fearless.
In terms of difficulty or scale, this dungeon was at a level which Moonless Thunder had yet to encounter in >. Therefore, he was completely unaware of his options. Fearless was the overall commander of this dungeon so this responsibility had to be given to Fearless.
Fearless pointed at the gap at the mountain range cleaved by Ruling Official Coulee as he shouted, ”Up the mountains!”
Coulee might be powerful, but he was still lacking in terms of IQ. The Lawrence Mountain Range cuts across the mainland horizontally and was over a few thousand metres long. After Coulee cleaved it apart, the two peaks of the mountains turned into a standard sky terrain.
This route would not be a problem for ordinary people to cross. However, if it was used for armies to fight a war, it was extremely easy to be a target for an ambush. This was not a terrain people would want to fight wars in.
”Aren't we a little too late to hide in the mountains now?” Moonless Thunder asked.
Lawrence Mountain Range was over a few thousand metres tall. By the time they could ascend the mountain, the enemies might have slaughtered everyone in Atlanta City.
Fearless sighed, ”Atlanta City even has flying devices, do they not have some sort of cable car to ascend the mountain?” After saying that, Fearless turned to ask the Great Elder, ”How do your people usually ascend the mountains?”
