章 68: Hit the Road, Jack!: Hit Port Town Valkyrie (2)!
The Fools' Party looked at Port Town Valkyrie. Their faces filled with crestfallen expressions. The reason was because there were no more boats and marines at the port. On another words, the NPC armada was gone - it was either sunk by the towns' defenses or fled.
It was a good thing in the sense of the four of them not needing to deal with the armada as well, but bad news in the sense that they were probably facing a way stronger town defense army than they initially thought.
- It seems the Town won. - Max stated after a while.
- Yeah. Let's end this at once. - Yrwin took his "Mass Weaponized Defense" scroll from within his Item Box. Since one's Item Box had to be created with Spatial Magic, his wasn't particularly big - so, he would store only important stuff inside.
With this, he had already opened his Item Box four times since the start of their adventure.
Once when they reached the forest, to take out a premium teleport scroll.
Again a few days later.
The day before today to take in his share of 'Cute Bunny' sets.
And now at this moment, as he reached for his part of the Scroll set the party would use.
Lillian proceeded to produce a "Mass Fly" scroll, Max took a "Mass Guided and Perfect Shot" scroll and Raphael produced a "Mass Coordinate Shooting" one.
The idea was for the four of them to level the city up, then immediately run away for Dragon Kings' Island.
- Release scroll. - Yrwin gave the command, and the four of them became enveloped by a reddish and aggressive sphere of light. Anything shot at them would be destroyed and then the defense would automatically counter-attack.
Also, since it was a Premium Item, they could feed mana crystals to the barrier in order to reduce the mana consumption.
Not only able to use a spell way over their own levels, but also to feed it with other items in order to make it last longer.
Premium players had it easy, alright.
- Release scroll, nyan! - Lillian said so, and the four of them began to float a little bit above the ground. Since she was the one to activate it, she would also be the one to control their flight patterns.
Both an offensive as a support spell. Unless the enemy had means of flying for itself, they would be at the hands of the scroll user.
- For gods' sake, are you a cat now? Release scroll. - As Max used his own scroll, the group received each a single Guided Perfect Shot - which would make it so not only could they lock-on their targets, their projectiles would also become ridiculously sturdy until they reached their target. Indeed, the projectile defense was over 9000!
Of course, this was a purely offensive scroll, and one of the most expensive ones as well - since it fused two high-level skills.
Then, Raphael silently activated his scroll as well. With an Explorer skill like "silent casting", he could do it without relying on his own voice.
As the group finished buffing up, the four of them ascended to the skies.
- Weird. Shouldn't they be monitoring us? - Max said as he saw the towns' lack of response to their approximation.
- I think it is strange as well. Raphael, can you see something? - Yrwin asked.
- Yeah. I think I can see the towns' artillery towers. They seem to be powered down!
The town wasn't attacking them. It didn't seem ware of them as well. Just as if they weren't a treat at all.
Since they hadn't shown Yrwins' authority as previous Ruler of the Furuk Empire, then that may have been expected. However, shouldn't they had been monitored?
Everyday, several times a day, they would try and cast regular town teleport scrolls in order to get to towns outside of Furuk, like Max's Town, Syndicate III.
Still, none worked - that is to say, they were under watch. If not by the town, then who?
- It could be that there's a single NPC locking on us, and he isn't a part of the towns' government anymore. Something like a coup d'état.
- *sigh*. That's why I don't get into game politics. Even the NPCs' have this kind of behavior.
Yrwin interjected and Raphael complained.
- But what if it isn't a NPC but, rather a player? Are you guys sure there aren't any players in the city? - Max asked, worried. He didn't had any skills for locating players.
- I'm sure. There's no one in range of my "Fellow Searching".
- None in range of my "supporters' rally" as well.
Raphael answered, followed suit by Yrwin. Both had skills for locating players in large environments, like tows and dungeons - an Explorer needed to be able to locate civilization while a dethroned ruler needed to seek for aid as quickly as possible.
- Fine. Locking-on. Ouuuf! - Max took a huge bundle of Holly Hand Grenades from his Item Box, around three thousand. That was the maximum amount his strength would allow him to carry, even if the Holy Hand Grenade was a premium item with almost zero weight.
As he taking the grenades out of his Item Box as the signal, Raphael, Lillian and Yrwin also took their share of Grenades out.
