Chapter 422: Right Or Wrong

When they arrived at North Point Tower, the battle had already begun . Ogre Trainers were herding Blood Fang Raptors, and were charging towards the Alliance defence .

"How come there are so little people?" Water Fairy was confused .

She had imagined hundreds and thousands of players participating in the event, similar to Meisnera Outpost .

However, she only saw 30 or so players participating .

"Only players level 30 and above received the system notification . Players under level 30 do not receive the notification and cannot participate in the event . Theramore’s Fall is very…" Lu Li explained as he gave her a look of ‘I told you so’ .

The map was very difficult to train at and the monsters were disgusting, so most players preferred to level up elsewhere . The fact that almost 30 players had turned up to the event was quite unexpected .

"What should we do?" They had arrived late and their path to the outpost was blocked off by the battle .

"Let’s loop around from the river and stay down low . We don’t want the archers at the tower to mistake us for the enemy," Lu Li reminded her as he led the way . They went all the way around and followed the nearby river .

The patrolling NPC guards saw the two Alliance players and let their guard down .

They entered the outpost and met Captain Darrell, who was ready to give out the quest . Standing next to him was Unforgettable Maple who held a long pole .

Unforgettable Maple was a star player from Majin Temple, and was also known as the most famous Mage in the game . Even though Sorrowless was considered as a top Mage player, Unforgettable Maple was still known as the Mage God .

"If it isn’t the scum… cough, cough, Lu Li and Water Fairy . "

The phrase ‘scumbag couple’ almost slipped out of Unforgettable Maple’s mouth but he quickly recovered smoothly .

"The Mage God is here as well?" Lu Li chuckled and accepted the quest .

"I’ll go ahead . You guys take your time . " Unforgettable Maple left after greeting them, not planning on joining their party . Thieves were a solo class and didn’t go well with Mages in terms of team composition .

Darrell’s Blessing: Attack +20%, Defence +20%, certain chance to ignore target defence .

This buff was probably given to balance out the level difference between the level 30 players and level 40 monsters .

By the time Lu Li and Water Fairy had left after accepting the quest, Unforgettable Maple was already outside and was busy casting Blizzard . Mages had it easy in these types of events because they could stand from afar and cast AOE skills without risking their lives .

Lu Li and Water Fairy looked at each other, then jumped down and began fighting .

Unlike Unforgettable Maple, they were both melee classes and had to get close to their targets in order to deal damage .

They chose a corner where the battle was less intense with less monsters and more players .

It was difficult to assassinate someone with so many players around . Lu Li and Water Fairy went into Stealth mode and snuck behind a Paladin .

Paladins had high defence as well as healing, so if Lu Li was alone, there would be no chance of killing him in one combo .

However, Lu Li was with another expert Thief who had comparable damage to him .

The poor Paladin didn’t even have the chance to turn around and see who had assassinated him before he was instantly turned into a corpse .

The Horde players immediately turned towards the two and began ganging up on them .

Everyone participating had to be level 30 and above, so they were all considered to be the top players in the game .

Lu Li and Water Fairy both escaped immediately without hesitation .

The horde players were too afraid to chase after them and continued attacking the Alliance defence begrudgingly .

With the two expert Thieves lurking near them, the Horde players became very intimidated . Even though they were tightly-packed and stood close to one another, they felt like they were the wildebeests being hunted by lions on the savanna . The fear drove them to become toxic and they began insulting the two Alliance Thieves .

"You guys are so shameless . You guys preach about justice and righteousness yet you lurk in the shadows and hide away!" a Tauren shouted with his deep voice . "Come out if you dare to PVP me!"

Lu Li ignored him because he knew that if he revealed himself, it would be certain death .

"You guys stole the cargo from the Dawn ship and killed off all the crewmen . You’ve even captured captain Ithania . Who knows how she’s doing now . Are you going to take the side of evildoers…?" The Tauren was very well spoken and was probably on the debating team at his school . He explained the details of the event from beginning to end .

"?" Water Fairy looked at Lu Li with a confused expression .

"!" Lu Li nodded to signal that the Tauren was telling the truth .

In reality, the Light and Evil Faction were simply the names given to the two factions . Neither factions were always right or wrong . Although the Horde had a reputation of being the savages in Dawn, Humans had committed equally ruthless things in the past . Even the Elves and High Elves had a history of mass killing of the innocent .

Water Fairy became discouraged and unhappy .

The beautiful girl had a strong sense of justice, and was very strong-willed and opinionated .

"It’s just a game . Besides, who knows where they got the cargo on the ship from? Maybe they slaughtered a town and took all their possessions with them . There are many savage Horde pirates that would kill innocent people for their money and possession," Lu Li consoled .

He consoled her because of the bond that they had formed in the past two days of training together .

"What if we secretly released Ithania or whatever her name is?" Water Fairy suggested .

"Uh…" Lu Li was speechless .

Why is it that girls always have a different mindset from guys?

His little sister would also come up with ridiculous ideas that would never cross Lu Li’s mind .

"Who cares about the reward? If you really want the reward, then I’ll pay you to help me," Water Fairy said as she stared at Lu Li expectantly .

Once she made up her mind, she would do anything to complete it, no matter how difficult it was .

"It’s just a game and this is just a quest . Look at all the players around you – none of them care about why they’re fighting," Lu Li emphasized again .

"How can you be so cold-blooded?" Water Fairy heard Lu Li’s response and felt like she had been wronged .

"Stop . Can we not fight about this stupid matter?" Lu Li was speechless again .

In reality, it wouldn’t matter to him at all whether they completed the quest or not . It was just a simple Outpost Defend quest, and the rewards would most likely be some EXP and a crappy piece of gear .
