Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 174

Chapter 174 Hi~ We Meet Again!

Sir Ditty mumbled something under his breath, and directed a question at Ye Ci, "What do you think Fleeting Time is doing?"

Ye Ci knew that Sir Ditty would not ask such a question out of the blue. He must've already had an answer of his own. She pursed her lips and replied, "You know the answer to the question, why are you still asking?"

"I need a second opinion. I want to know if I'm right." Sir Ditty smiled. He had always been a cautious person. In a time like this, even Sir Ditty would not dare to make a decision based on his personal assumption.

"He's going to go kite the Archbishop." that was the only answer Ye Ci could think of.

After a brief pause, Sir Ditty let out a long sigh, "Be careful, that place is definitely surrounded by Western Continent players by now. Don't die in there! I need you to delay them as long as possible and buy us some time."

"I'll be on my way." Ye Ci grinned. She enjoyed talking with people with intellect. Such conversation was simple, brief, and straight to the point.

After concluding her conversation with Sir Ditty, Ye Ci jumped down from Ol' Four and dashed through the tightly packed streets to the direction of the Monastery.

Knowing that Sir Ditty would have spoken to Bai Mo, she did not worry about her cousin. Her main concern at the moment was to figure a way out to sneak past the many Western Continent players into the Monastery.

After giving the matter a long thought, Ye Ci decided to sneak into the Monastery through the rooftops. Although the Western Continent players would put the rooftops under heavy guard after her battle with Fleeting Time, but with waves after waves of Eastern Continent players rushing their positions, they would be forced to divert men to the defense on the ground. With that, Ye Ci would be able to sneak safely into the Monastery within minutes.

Despite the dangers, victory always favors those who were able to surprise their opponents. Without any shred of hesitation, Ye Ci climbed onto the rooftop and lowered herself. She the dashed towards to Monastery.

With the impending attack from invaders, the Monastery is on full alert. Before reinforcements from the Royal Army could arrive at the Monastery, the monks and priests prepared themselves for combat. There was nearly 300 monks and priests in the Monastery, with levels ranging from 40 to 50. Priests were good in attacking while monks were adept at healing. Despite the lack of thanks, such combination of NPCs were very effective in combat. Despite their level advantages, the NPCs were barely able to stem the tide against the numerical superiority of the Western Continent players. As Ye Ci entered the Monastery through its eastern entrance, the NPCs of the Monastery were barely holding the invaders back.

Only the northern roof of the Royal Monastery was the only spot without a foothold. There was also sentries lurking around the northern side, which meant that there were relatively less Western Continent players would seek to enter the Monastery from the north. Without hesitating, Ye Ci entered Stealth and approached the northern side of the Monastery. Entering Stealth would impose a 50% reduced bonus speed on Ye Ci, but it was the only way to sneak in undetected in the midst of so many enemies.

Making her best effort to avoid the staging areas of the Western Continent's Rogues and Rangers, Ye Ci arrived at the northern side of the Royal Monastery. She could see priests and monks shouting out their devotion to God with their dying breath and Western Continent players that were marching steadily forward. As expected of elite players. Only God knows how long they been training for this day. The quality of Eastern Continent players paled in comparison when compared to such an organized force. Their only solution to defeat such an enemy it seems, was the employment of human wave tactics.
