Witch's Hill, Barbarian Hammer Town.
Because it was relatively close to the Otherworld Gate leading to Ten Thousand Trees Woodland, travel to and from the woodland was much more convenient. With the heavy investment from the major corporations, Barbarian Hammer Town had developed into a guild town with over 600,000 players. Its streets were lined with shops, including many virtual storefronts. Its prosperity surpassed even that of small NPC cities.
Moreover, as the Starlight Alliance had grown increasingly powerful recently, more and more merchant players and adventurer groups traveled through Barbarian Hammer Town. It had gradually become the gathering place for players in Ten Thousand Trees Woodland.
Although monsters occasionally attacked the town, the Starlight Alliance had built Barbarian Hammer Town to be exceptionally sturdy. Despite being only a basic town, it had towering walls, more than ten cannon towers and over ten arrow towers covering its entire perimeter. More than 20,000 players were stationed there permanently, making it resemble a military fortress that the monsters had been unable to do anything against.
Furthermore, because the Starlight Alliance contained more than ten guilds, Barbarian Hammer Town also had temporary residences for more than ten guilds. If the town truly could not hold out, they could immediately mobilize over 100,000 players from those guilds for support. It could be called the safest town in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom.
Witch's Hill's resources, coupled with its security, had instantly transformed this seemingly ordinary town into its current prosperous state. It even showed faint signs of being promoted to an intermediate town.
As the sun set, the lingering glow of dusk gradually blanketed the land from the cannon towers by the town gate, while the distant darkness awoke from its slumber.
