Chapter 198: “Adamant Legion”
In that way, a confrontation structure between the Archangel and the Seventh Calamity was emphasized among NPCs and players, centered around Hiers. It was possible to give the impression that the damage caused by angels was minimized, at least within the former Hiers territory.
Instead, a psychological pressure was created by periodically having giant hornets and stag beetles patrol the sky, though it was considered a trivial matter.
What became clear after several attacks was that the so-called Sky Castle’s location seemed to be undetermined. Each attack had a time difference in the assault on cities and dungeons.
“Figuring out the Sky Castle’s location after each attack and calculating its movement route from there could allow us to estimate its current position, but… it’s too troublesome.”
If more data points were available, it would be possible, for example, to find the town attacked earliest during each wave and its corresponding time, and deduce the movement route from there. While accuracy might be compromised, it would be the easiest method. However, at this stage, determining its location required a considerable amount of effort and time.
Moreover, it’s not like it was a simple object moving in a regular orbit.
In the game, the second day of the event had arrived, and players were increasingly immersing themselves in dungeons dominated by rare creatures, disregarding the angels.
This was understandable since, in Hiers, angels were mostly taken care of by my lackeys in the sky, and only the murky gems or dead insects fell to the ground.
In such a situation, players had no choice but to attack dungeons to avoid wasting time, experience point bonuses and penalty mitigation. According to social media, the proportion of top-tier players within Hiers’ territory seemed to be the highest. They would find it difficult to earn event points, and rares also provided experience points. It was a two-in-one deal. Not that they were specifically aiming for the top rankings.
