"-Where did these people come from? New players from nearby?"
"-No idea, but they don't look like it... I used Inspect. They're players from big guilds like the Hall of Heroes, God's Love, and First Dawn."
"-What do we do?"
"-What's there to be scared of? This is our turf. It doesn't matter who comes!"
Then one of them, a male player wearing leather armor and carrying a shortsword, stepped forward. He showed no fear even facing nearly a hundred people. Instead, he spoke coldly and arrogantly:
"This is the Lost Name Guild's leveling ground. Go back where you came from!"
"Huh?!"
Dongyang and the others immediately sneered.
Dongyang and Morning Twilight were both high-ranking guild members, one the Hall of Heroes' vice president and the other First Dawn's president. Being treated so arrogantly by some small fry had irritated them.
But they knew that, despite being clearly outnumbered, the other side showed no fear. They obviously had something to rely on that gave them such confidence.
"We're not here to level, and we won't steal your monsters... We're just passing through. Keep grinding."
Dongyang spoke.

Dongyang and the others' expressions darkened.
They knew from the map that they could take a detour to the Church, but judging by the situation, the Lost Name Guild had clearly occupied the entire Town. Taking a detour would make little difference.
