Book 10: Chapter 3 (1)
This monster invasion event created more casualties than any previous such event.
Starting with PKs disguised as town defense corps, it culminated in an invasion of monsters with much greater numbers and levels than usual.
Thanks to the efforts of many players, the assault could be dealt with in a relatively short time, but many players with production-related jobs as well as those who had chosen to stay in the city had lost their lives. Many players just stood speechless before the stores and homes that were reduced to piles of rubble.
The bad news, however, continued.
A high-ranked member of the guild that was in charge of the town’s defenses had been killed by one of the PKs that went on a killing spree during the monsters’ rampage. There were also many casualties among the members closest to the guildmaster, meaning that the clearing of the dungeons would surely go slower.
Both production-type and fighting-type jobs had suffered incommensurable damage.
And the same thing happened at the orphanage too.
Because of the barrier’s destruction thanks to Gargalla, the orphanage had lost its protection and had been severely damaged due to the battles between players and monsters.
Emil’s expression after returning from the temporary shelter was dispirited. The children, too, stopped in their tracks as they arrived on the premises.
