The Land of Elves, Saint Martial Sect.
With the successful establishnt of the city, the players erupted in cheers.
Although the Blues Family disciples had logged off, they had all participated in defending the city and still received generous rewards.
"Brother-in-law, I'll leave this place to you. I need to log off now," Armstrong said to John, concerned about the safety of his family. Without wasting any ti, he logged off.
With no Blues Family disciples left in Saint Martial Sect.
Ritchie had no choice but to assign Fla Legion mbers to clean up the battlefield and assess the losses.
This ti, the losses from resisting the monster tide were minimal. John's ultimate skill had wiped out all the elite Orcs, leaving almost no casualties among the players.
Moreover, the elite Orcs were all boss-level, guaranteeing 100% equipnt drops.
The haul included over a hundred thousand pieces of elite-grade, tier-four equipnt, enough to fully arm the mbers of both Saint Martial Sect and the Fla Legion.
In addition to the equipnt, there was a massive collection of materials, skill stones, enhancent stones, and socket gems-an impressive bounty.
"Boss," Ritchie approached John and said, "The battlefield's been cleaned up. If everything's in order here, I'd like to head back."
To support the Blues Family in defending against the monster tide, only a small contingent had been left to guard Fla City, and Ritchie was concerned about its security.
John nodded and said, "Go ahead and select five thousand sets of tier-four elite equipnt. Open the portal between Fla City and Saint Martial Sect and head back."
Portals between cities could be selectively opened but required mutual consent.
Although Saint Martial Sect and Fla City were both closed to the public, opening the portal between the two would not cause any issues.
"Got it. Thanks, boss," Ritchie said gratefully. He promptly selected five thousand sets of tier-four elite equipnt and led the Fla Legion mbers through the portal back to Fla City.
As John gazed at the now empty city, he couldn't help but feel a pang of worry for Sini and the others.
The Blues Family had gone to seek revenge against the five families-what would be the outco?
"Benefactor, if everything's settled here, we're heading back to Death Land," Anna and the other girls approached John.
Though they were in The Land of Elves, there was nothing left here that held their interest. However, John had a different idea. "I'll go back with you," he said.
He rembered Toby's attempt to establish a city in a secret area.
Death Land was also a permanent secret area, aning it could be used to establish a city as well.
Furthermore, it was isolated from the rest of the world, safe from any monster tide invasions. If they waited for twelve hours, they could successfully establish a city there.
While the rewards for surviving a monster tide were tempting, John was wary of unforeseen dangers. He was already being targeted by the Dark Humans, and he didn't have another suitable location to establish a third city.
Death Land seed like an ideal choice.
John's goal in establishing cities wasn't to build up his own power but to secure the rewards for the first three city builds. In the secluded environnt of the secret area, it wouldn't cause any complications.
There's another point to consider: now that players' strength has increased, they can use sheer numbers to hunt down rare tier-three bosses and obtain City Building Orders.
John was concerned that other player factions might beat him to it.
John left a small squad of beasts to temporarily guard Saint Martial Sect and then led the elves, along with Ada and Jean, into Death Land.
Buzz...
In Death Land, the area was filled with a shimring light, and a vast life force pulsed through the air.
A group of beasts curiously gathered around The Tree of Life.
"Look, big brother, the elves are about to be born!" Jean exclaid, pulling John toward The Tree of Life.
Anna and Ada, intrigued as well, exchanged glances and quickly followed.
The beasts had already gathered, staring at the white orbs hanging from The Tree of Life, engaging in excited discussions.
"Are elves really born from trees?"
"These elves seem more powerful than Anna and the others."
"It must be because they absorbed the energy from Vein of the Earth."
"Could a dark elf be born?" one beast wondered, recalling the fear of being imprisoned and controlled by dark elves, with a worried expression.
"No, dark elves are born from the demonic energy of the Dark Sea. The energy from Vein of the Earth is pure, originating from the earth's core, so it won't produce evil dark elves."
Blood-red demon wolf noticed John's arrival and quickly greeted him, "Kid, congratulations on gaining another powerful force."
John nodded, his curiosity piqued as he observed The Tree of Life.
Crack!
At that mont, a soft cracking sound was heard. A white orb fell to the ground and split open, emitting a blinding light. From within, a figure erged a tall, naked woman with black hair and black eyes, possessing the typical features of an elf.
The light from the orb then transford into light armor that covered the woman's body. As the light faded, her face was revealed-cool, commanding, and full of confidence. Her sharp gaze swept over the surrounding beasts and the other won before she walked slowly toward John. She knelt on one knee before him, her voice respectful, "Master!"
The elf had been born from The Tree of Life, which had already ford a soul contract with John, recognizing him as its master.
Naturally, these newly born elves recognized him as their master as well.
John studied the elf before him with interest. She was ard with a spear, and her tight leather armor accentuated her perfect figure. Her long black hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her beauty was on par with the other won, though her deanor was completely different-efficient and confident.
This elf, like Anna, was also a tier-four epic-level being, and her aura was even stronger than
Anna's.
Considering that she had just been born, her potential for growth was undoubtedly higher. John helped the elf to her feet and asked, "What's your na?"
"Yuel, Queen of the Earth Elves," she replied, her tone calm as she looked at him.
"Elven Queen!" Anna gasped in surprise, her eyes wide with amazent and a hint of envy as
she looked at Yuel.
She was a Saintess of the natural elf tribe, not the elf queen.
The rank of an elf queen was higher than that of a Saintess.
After the natural elf tribe's queen was killed by Dark Humans, she beca the leader.
Unfortunately, there was still a gap between her and an elf queen.
Crack, crack...
At that mont, the sound of soft cracks continued, and one by one, Earth Elves descended
from The Tree of Life.
Blinding light flashed as a vast life force surged forth.
Over a thousand elves descended, all clad in tight-fitting soft armor, each holding a spear.
They stood in neat rows, exuding an aura of valiant strength.
Though they were all graceful won, they radiated a strong, battle-hardened energy.
These elves all possessed the strength of tier-four elite bosses.
And this was just the first batch; with the energy of Vein of the Earth, The Tree of Life could
continue to nurture more Earth Elves.
With the addition of the Beast Clan, the natural elves, and now a group of elves.
John's forces had once again seen a significant boost in power.
"Ada," he called, beckoning her over as he took out a City Building Order.
Ada approached him with a puzzled expression, Judy close behind her, watching John with a
look that was no longer filled with hostility.
John handed the City Building Order to Ada and said, "I promised to help you restore your kingdom, and this is the first step. We'll start by building a city." Although Ada wasn't a player, she could still use the City Building Order.
"Really?" Ada looked at the City Building Order in her hand, then back at John, unable to
believe it.
Anna, standing nearby, pouted with displeasure. She still harbored so resentnt toward
Ada.
In her opinion, only their master or Sister Sini should be entrusted with building a city. However, she couldn't deny Ada's skill in leadership and training, so she remained silent.
John gently patted Ada's head to reassure her. "Let's build the city here in Death Land. It's
absolutely safe."
Ada nodded vigorously and chose a spot not far from The Tree of Life, imdiately using the
City Building Order.
Death Land was John's territory, so defensive structures like walls were unnecessary; all that
was needed was a territory altar.
Buzz!
A glow appeared as the territory altar ford, and then another announcent rang out: [Announcent: Ada has established Gates City in Death Land. Successfully defend against 12 hours of monster tide attacks to complete the city's construction.]
...
Three consecutive announcents echoed throughout the world of Gods, once again causing
a significant stir.
The global chat channel was buzzing with players' discussions.
"Saint Martial Sect just got established, and now another player is building a city?"
"Probably got inspired by Saint Martial Sect."
"Do you think this Ada can pull it off?"
"Not likely. We've all seen the scale of the monster tide attacks when Fla City was being
built. I don't think anyone except Godslayer could manage to establish a city now."
"Saint Martial Sect was successfully built, what do you say about that?"
"Rumor has it that Saint Martial Sect is part of Godslayer's forces."
"That's odd, I can't find any information on this Ada or Death Land."
"Can't find it? Maybe it's an NPC from the world of Gods?"
"Can NPCs even build cities?"
Players were surprised and speculated wildly.
Toby, who had just logged in, also heard the system announcent, and his brow furrowed in
thought.
He couldn't figure out where this Ada had co from.
"Damn it, does this an the third city slot is already taken?" He gritted his teeth, filled with
frustration.
Toby had learned from Dark Humans that the first three cities established would be granted permanent city dungeons with substantial rewards.
But now, three cities had already been established.
The first was Fla City, led by Ritchie, connected to the military, and closely tied to John.
The second was Blues Family, an Ancient Martial Arts family, also linked to John.
Toby had a strong feeling that this Ada, who had established Gates City, was sohow connected to John as well.
Death Land, he suspected, was also a secret area, and he couldn't find or interfere with it. The
third city seed destined to be successfully established.
"Godslayer, this is only the beginning!" Toby muttered coldly, still unwilling to give up.
He had already leaked the information that abilities from the world of Gods could be brought
back to the real world, and that it was connected to Godslayer.
Toby was confident that in the real world, Godslayer would beco a pri target.
...
In a dense and desolate forest.
Several small, black-clad figures moved like phantoms, their weapons gleaming as they surrounded a giant serpent.
It a tier-seven elite boss, the Devouring Python.
The serpent's gaping maw was large enough to swallow several of them whole. Fortunately, the figures were agile and well-coordinated, slowly wearing down the beast.
One of the figures removed her hood, revealing a cold, breathtakingly beautiful face, with
purple hair and pointed ears. These are traits of the dark elf race.
