Chapter 551 Building a Fortress

"Guild Leader, both the Stone Forest Town and Zero Wing City arenas are overflowing with players. If we spread the Magic Towers across several towns, the arena's revenue could increase significantly. Concentrating everything in Silverwing Town limits the number of players it can accommodate," Aqua Rose quietly suggested. "Moreover, such a concentration of resources isn't good for the Guild's overall development. If we could allocate some to our Guild towns in the Black Dragon Empire, White Marrow's progress there would be much easier."

Currently, Zero Wing Guild is the number one guild in the Star-Moon Kingdom, but the Black Dragon Empire is a different story.

Not only are there a vast number of guilds in the Black Dragon Empire, but there are also many first-rate guilds, making competition extremely fierce. Guild wars are rare, but team battles involving thousands of players are common. As the Guild aims for further development, these battles will increase, further depleting the Guild's resources.

Zero Wing Guild's reserves have been nearly exhausted after continuous battles, unlike the major guilds in other kingdoms and empires, which have abundant reserves and stable development.

Furthermore, the Black Dragon Empire is different from their side. Due to the scarcity of major battles, the guilds there are developing rapidly, with levels and equipment far exceeding those in the Star-Moon Kingdom. Many guild experts have begun advancing to Tier 2 classes, and some first-rate guilds have even started raiding level 50 super-large team dungeons.

"We don't need to do that yet. Silverwing Town is our top priority. After that, we should build as many turrets as possible, provided we have enough resources," Shi Feng shook his head. "Silverwing Town has been established, but whether our Zero Wing Guild can defend it is another matter."

The Black Dragon Empire has abundant resources, but the Ancient Shrine is far more important than the Black Dragon Empire.

If it were just an ordinary Ancient Shrine, it wouldn't matter as much, but an Ancient Shrine with a teleportation portal to the Ancient City is several times more valuable, unlike Stone Forest Town.

Previously, Stone Forest Town could attract many players because of the Stoneclaw Mountains' regional副本 (fùběn, instance dungeon), but that became useless once players reached level 50. However, the Ancient Shrine leading to the Ancient City is different, as it will never become obsolete.

In his previous life, countless major guilds fought fiercely to seize entry slots to the Ancient City. Even several super forces went all out for a teleportation channel to the Ancient City.

The reason for this was that the Ancient City helped players advance. Although this assistance diminished as players' tiers increased, it was still invaluable as long as it had an effect.

Currently, the super forces don't yet know the true value of the Ancient City and only see it as a good place to acquire combat techniques and other resources, so they are still observing. Once they find out, they will definitely fight to the death. At that time, he will have to deal with more than just Beast Emperor...

So, he naturally has to turn Silverwing Town into the best town possible.

Aqua Rose couldn't help but gape, feeling that Shi Feng was too crazy. Building five Magic Towers wasn't enough; he also planned to build a large number of turrets. This was simply turning Silverwing Town into a war fortress.

If other guilds found out, they would probably vomit blood.

This wasn't just luxury; it was simply squandering!

Afterward, Aqua Rose arranged personnel according to Shi Feng's instructions and began construction of Silverwing Town.

Because the town had just been established, apart from some basic buildings, the entire town was practically empty, with only a few scattered NPCs.

However, Aqua Rose brought a large number of builders this time, a full five to six hundred, and since they were only building some basic buildings, the construction speed was very fast.

Players watching from afar quickly noticed that the empty Silverwing Town was gradually becoming more prosperous. Bars, inns, blacksmith shops, restaurants, shops, and so on quickly appeared before their eyes.

Especially when they saw the blacksmith shop being built, the eyes of the players in the distance nearly popped out.

Fighting in neutral maps like the Orc Empire provides a lot of resources and earns merit, but the consumption of weapons and equipment is also top-notch. If weapons and equipment are not repaired for a day, it's impossible to fight.

However, to repair equipment, they have to go to a town. The Orc Empire is so vast, and there are only three or four towns, all scattered in the outer areas. To get a big haul, they need to go into the inner areas, and a round trip on a mount takes at least ten hours. If they encounter a patrolling Orc squad or battalion along the way, even if they aren't wiped out, they will suffer heavy losses.

Silverwing Town is not only next to the Ancient Shrine, but its location is also very close to the inner areas. Even if they can't enter the Ancient Shrine, they can still penetrate deep into the Orc Empire's inner areas through Silverwing Town.

On the other side, Shi Feng also went alone to the Guild Hall on the first underground floor.

Standing in the magic array engraved in the center of the hall, Shi Feng took out the Hero's Chapter for Summoning the Magic King from his backpack.

Originally, he intended to use this Hero's Chapter on Zero Wing City, but with the sudden appearance of the Ancient City, he decided to use it on Silverwing Town to ensure its safety.

As Shi Feng placed the Hero's Chapter at the core of the magic array and chanted the incantation, preparing to summon the Magic King, Katie Delan...

System: Found the designated Hero's Chapter. Does the player wish to pay 3,000 Magic Crystals to summon this hero?

"Three thousand? That's quite a rip-off!" Shi Feng clicked his tongue slightly.

Three thousand Magic Crystals are nothing to Zero Wing Guild in its current state.

However, the three thousand Magic Crystals required to summon the designated hero represent a different meaning.

The most Magic Crystals he had ever used to summon a designated hero before was only a thousand. Although this thousand Magic Crystals was only for holding the summoning ceremony, the price also represented the cost of maintaining the magic body after summoning, which required half the number of Magic Crystals.

In other words, after summoning Katie Delan, he would have to spend 1,500 Magic Crystals every day to maintain Katie Delan's existence.

This cost is quite high, equivalent to maintaining three Magic Towers!

Shi Feng gritted his teeth and chose to summon the Magic King, Katie Delan.

Instantly, the three thousand Magic Crystals stored in his backpack disappeared, and the magic power in the Guild Hall began to frantically gather towards the magic array. The magic power within the magic array visibly formed into a white mist, which then turned into a magic essence, gradually forming a human shape and emitting a dazzling golden light.

The Hero's Chapter suspended in mid-air also transformed into golden divine runes that merged into the magic essence.

As all the divine runes merged into the body, the dazzling golden light dissipated, and a middle-aged man wearing a white robe, a golden crown, and holding a purple-gold crystal staff appeared before Shi Feng.

The middle-aged man was surrounded by mist, and the magic elements in the entire hall seemed to be submitting to him. The operating trajectory of all the magic elements was moving according to the middle-aged man's will.

"Is this the Magic King, Katie Delan?" Shi Feng could feel that even though he now possessed Tier 3 attributes, he was simply not worth mentioning compared to the Tier 3 Magic King at level 66.

Before Shi Feng could check Katie Delan's attributes, a series of system announcements suddenly rang in his ears.
