If Luoshui Town had only been a tourist city, it would not have mattered much if monsters captured it. Misty Pavilion could simply take it back later. However, the situation was different now. With many Demon Clan armies stationed nearby, Luoshui Town had become ideal for players to level up in. Moreover, Luoshui Town possessed the Tree of Life, giving it its own unique appeal. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Luoshui Town was now just as valuable as Wushuang City and Tianxia City, perhaps even more so.
Since Luoshui Town held such great value, they naturally could not treat it like an ordinary tourist city. They had to preserve it as much as possible. Raising the headquarters' level and increasing its defensive strength were therefore crucial, but doing so required more manpower, which was precisely what Misty Pavilion lacked most right now.
That was right. The higher Luoshui Town's level, the stronger its defenses would be, and the easier it would be to withstand future Monster Sieges. This required players to accept Guild Headquarters quests in Luoshui Town, which undoubtedly demanded a great deal of manpower.
It made sense when they thought about it. Tianxia City and Wushuang City both needed to be upgraded, and operating those two cities already required a great many people. Misty Pavilion was already stretched thin. How could they still have the manpower to develop Luoshui Town?
Furthermore, under normal circumstances, it would have been manageable. Misty Pavilion could focus on developing one Guild Headquarters while gradually working on the other two. However, none of them knew when the next large-scale Monster Siege would come, so strengthening Luoshui Town's defenses had to be put on the agenda.
Faced with these issues, Yan Hua Yi Leng came up with a solution: recruit
