ill intentions may be reported for a

the potions needed no further
elaboration a as such everyone began to
scrutinize those around them vigilantly
a total of 13 055 individuals sought
Refuge at thine counter territory nearly
all who could come had arrived apart
from the Slayers only a hand full of
particularly distrustful players
remained in their own territories guan's
announcement had been thoroughly
disseminated as the player count
dwindled the available sea area
gradually contracted providing ample
time for the most distant players to
arrive within the 24-hour window those
who did not come either had special
circumstances or simply did not wish to
such matters were beyond guan's control
the platform was vast allowing these
individuals to settle without
overcrowding as they orderly pitch tents
in their designated areas
finally they organized the positioning
for battle the primary strategy revolved
around the Watchtower with teams
distributed around it this was due to
guan's accumulation of substantial
materials which would enable her to
activate the Watchtower for
counterattacks when necessary she did
not dismantle the existing teams as they
had developed a strong Synergy through
extensive collaboration thus their
combined strength was exponentially
greater and it would be unwise to break
them apart each team was assigned a
number and would engage in battle in
sequential batches the lone wolves
without fixed teammates were grouped
based on their roles melee Fighters at
the front and ranged attackers
positioned on the Watchtower for support
with everything prepared the group
anxiously awaited the assault of the
Fallen the hour was now 8 in the evening
the previously tranquil SE suddenly
erupted into tumultuous waves the sound
resembling a roaring Dragon this Sudden
Change startled all the tense players
prepare for battle as guan's voice rang
out with authority the search lights on
the third level of the Watchtower
illuminated the night after her platform
reached level 10 the third level of the
Watchtower had automatically opened at
this moment the third level was filled
with players while the first and second
levels served as resting areas for the
reserves the third level was entirely
occupied by ranged lone wolves who were
also organized into teams rotating in
and out as needed to maintain control gu
tontion stood on the third level facing
the sea she could see countless Fallen
swiftly approach ing surrounding the
platform the Fallen stood erect their
upper bodies emerging from the depths of
the sea casting Fierce glances towards
the Watchtower each one brandishing
their claws and emitting a series of
eerie sounds judging by their physiques
it was evident that their strength
varied significantly indeed this time
the Fallen had truly come out in force
regardless of their power all were eager
to engage in battle however it remained
unclear whether this was the case solely
around her platform or if it is a
universal phenomenon near all platforms
should it be the latter their situation
would become dire the Fallen paused for
merely a few seconds before plunging
back into the water in unison utilizing
the search light guon tion could discern
the Shadows beneath the surface their
target unmistakably her platform her
platform had been reinforced several
times capable of rising to a height of
56 M yet today the sea level had
inexplicably surged to 50 m reaching the
maximum height of an ordinary level
