Chapter 175 The Thrill of the Battle

There was actually a time limit for a siege battle in the Royal Capital of a foreign continent. A battle would last only for 4 hours. If the attackers were successful, they would be welcomed home with a grand victory celebration. However, if the attacking side failed to achieve their objective and take over the capital, the system will automatically transport the "invaders" back to their home continent.

It was 3 hours since the Western Continent players first set foot in Champion City, and they were still unable to take over the Monastery.

Of course, it was not because the lack of effort by Western Continent players, and was not due to the fact that the Monastery was too heavily guarded. Their progress was impeded by the waves of Eastern Continent players swarming at their positions. Each attack by Eastern Continent players will cause casualties to their enemy. With their spawn point surrounded by Eastern Continent players as well, the Western Continent players were completely surrounded.

Absalom knew very well that they would definitely lose if the battle continued to drag on. They were running out of supplies, while Eastern Continent could resupply literally everywhere. From the 3 hours of battle, the Western Continent players were already exhausted.

Despite sensing their imminent defeat, the Western Continent players fought on tenaciously and refused to back down. If they lose, at least they'd go off with a bang.

The Western Continent players had suffered from horrendous casualties, but it was nothing compared to the casualties of the Eastern Continent players. With their continent at stake, players of different levels from the Eastern Continent threw themselves into the battlefield in Champion City. As a result, the population cap in Champion City has reached its limit, and players were forced to queue up just to enter the map. Some were even forcibly removed from the map by the system. Hordes of players gathered at the maps adjacent to Champion City.

In such a situation, the Eastern Continent players would surely lose the momentum of their attack. As Champion City was surrounded by low level maps, many low level players swarmed into the place at the start of the battle. They refused to leave the map despite countless deaths, blocking the way for the high level players. This meant that Sir Ditty was robbed of the fighting force that he badly needed.

With the fate of the continent hanging by a thread, Sir Ditty was forced to appeal to the players through the Continent Channel, "Champion City has already reached its population limit. To ensure our victory, I would like all players that were below level 25 to leave the area."

Despite his repeated pleas, a large number of players refused to budge. The leaders of the other major guilds began speaking up in the Continent Channel as well.

[Blank Space] Good Ol' Days: "To all players that are below level 25: Please leave Champion City so that higher level players can join the battle. I know you're all fired up for the battle, but please look at the bigger picture. We're facing an invasion force of 5000 men strong. They're the elites of the Western Continent. We do not wish for players on our side to make meaningless sacrifices."

[Tang Dynasty] Night And Day: "Players that are below level 25 please stay out of the battle for now. Wait for any updates in the maps adjacent to Champion City. We'll keep you posted. But for now, please leave the Champion City map."

[World Conqueror] Flawless Reflection: "There are many more battles to come, please don't let your feelings get the better of you. Please give way to players who are above level 25 and leave the Champion City map."

[Street Assistance Guild] Corrupting Da Living: "Players who are below level 25 please leave Champion City at once."

[Blade of Abyss] Dane: "Please follow instructions and leave Champion City immediately. Don't let players of the other continent make fun of us for being undisciplined."
