Chapter 197 - 'Alliance' System
"You guys go and open the castle gate,
" Mcgee said to the three adventurers who had joined before.
A few of them were their friends, so they were pleased when they opened the gate.
More people meant more power.
Just as the people gradually entered the castle gate, a special notification appeared in the system.
Over 100 players have joined Mcgee's party.
The 'Alliance' system has been activated for Mcgee.
All players' homes will appear near the Alliance.
Territory expanded to 10 times the number of players.
Originally, the interior of the castle was only the size of Mcgee's home. However, after the players entered, the interior of the castle expanded to 10 times the size of Mcgee's home!
"There's such a thing?
"
This was also the first time Mcgee had heard of the concept of 'Alliance'.
"My wooden house also came along.
"
The Beast Masters were very excited. They originally thought that they would be risking their lives if they joined Mcgee. They did not expect that the hidden function of the system would be activated.
"It seems that the system does not only encourage people to become stronger but also hopes that people can survive.
"
It was only the third season, and the number of survivors had dropped to over 300.
As the living environment and the strength of the familiars increased, the number of survivors would decrease.
After two seasons of getting used to each other, the strength of the team leader would increase, and then they would be able to get through the familiars' survival game together.
Mcgee finally understood the development of the survival game up until now.
It had been hidden quite well.
"Now is not the time to be excited. Everyone, hurry up and tidy up your homes. Then come to the meeting room in the castle. We'll have a battle meeting!
"
Mcgee interrupted the excited people's thoughts.
The Alliance had been formed. As the person in charge of the Alliance, he had also received a system notification.
"The wild beasts that were originally scattered all over the world will gather at the position of the Alliance and launch an attack.
"
Originally, with Mcgee's home defense ability and the strength of his familiars, it would not have been difficult for him to survive this round of Blood Moon attacks.
He had kindly taken in other Beast Masters, but in the end, the difficulty had increased to an unimaginable level.
"Good!
"
The people who had joined the Alliance didn't know this. They were rejoicing that they had gotten a leg up, but at the same time, they did not lose their homes.
That was why they were so excited.
"Ignorance is also a blessing,
" Mcgee interjected. He looked at the adventurers and pirates.
They were members of the team who had joined earlier. Their wooden houses had not followed them.
It was possible that when they had abandoned their wooden houses and joined Mcgee, they had been destroyed by other familiars.
They did not look regretful. After surviving in Mcgee's castle for a while, they had long gotten used to it.
...
In the castle's meeting room.
Mcgee felt a headache when he saw the dense crowd. He was a person who liked silence.
Since things had come to this point, there was no point in complaining anymore.
"Ahem, everyone, listen to me.
" Mcgee interrupted the noisy crowd.
"Originally, if the Blood Moon attacked, the subdued beasts in the nests near their homes would be strengthened and lose control of their emotions, launching an attack on the Beast Masters' homes.
"
"You guys can think about it carefully. What kind of subdued beast did you encounter last time?
"
The audience was in a heated discussion. The subdued beasts' everyone encountered were completely different.
The only thing they knew was that there were not many of them, and their strength was not much higher than their own.
The reason they were in despair was that their subdued beasts' levels had risen to level 12 in the third season.
Their levels had doubled.
"This time, I received a notification from the system.
"
"There will be a total of ten attacks.
"
"There will be three elites and a leader each time.
"
"Only after defeating the leader will the attack be considered over.
"
Mcgee's deep voice sounded very calm, but the others felt differently.
"Ten waves of beasts attacking?
"
"That's right. There are around a thousand of them each time,
" Mcgee replied.
He did not know where in the world there were so many familiars. Even the wolf pack only had a few dozen wolves, and they were able to mobilize a thousand familiars at once.
It was completely an army attack by familiars against humans.
The crowd began to discuss again. As the leader, Mcgee explained,
"Right now, I just want to know what kind of power you have that can be used.
"
Tonight, the Blood Moon would officially enter its state at twelve o'clock.
He did not have time to dawdle with everyone.
The survivors began to hand in their defensive blueprints one by one.
Arrow towers, turrets, and elemental towers...
In terms of familiars, apart from only one earth-type familiar, there were around twenty other types of familiars.
It seemed that as a model for defensive-type familiars, earth-type familiars were the most unpopular existence.
The city walls were a common facility for all homesteads. Many people did not build arrow towers because they had not upgraded their homesteads at all. They had put all their efforts into training their subdued beasts.
It was only now that they realized that arrow towers could attack automatically. It was equivalent to having an extra fighting force.
"Don't waste time. Everyone, hurry up and get moving.
"
"We have to consider all four directions.
"
Mcgee selected four more powerful beastmasters from the survivors to be their battle commanders.
...
Just as Mcgee was conversing with the four commanders, Zhao Ling Er ran toward Mcgee with the Imperial Dragon Armor in her arms and the dwarf artisan behind her.
"The armor is repaired!
"
When Zhao Ling Er handed the armor to Mcgee, the Beast Masters present widened their eyes.
Were their armor made by the girl in front of them?
And... the armor she handed to Mcgee should be the legendary Imperial Dragon armor that was obtained after killing a Dragon.
They stared at it with their eyes wide open.
That was because after Mcgee took the Imperial Dragon Armor, a flame actually ignited on his body.
"Don't tell me, Mcgee, you want to fight in person?
"
One of the Beast Masters was a professional boxer before he transmigrated to this world. He had also fought with his subdued beasts, and they were ordinary subdued beasts without elemental power.
He had been beaten to a pulp. With the armor, he could barely avoid being beaten to death by his subdued beasts.
He did not expect there to be a human who could fight with his subdued beasts.
"It shouldn't be a problem if he's not too strong.
"
Mcgee finished arranging everything and said to them.
"It's four o'clock in the afternoon. Let's hurry back to our rooms and rest for a while.
"
"We have to wake up before twelve.
"
Everyone's expressions became solemn.
Perhaps it was because they had become an Alliance that gave them great confidence but thinking about it carefully, facing the attacks of more than a thousand subdued beasts at the same time...
What kind of attack was that.
Before the battle began, the most important thing they could do was to conserve their energy.
Mcgee was an optimistic person. He fell asleep not long after he entered the room.
In the Alliance, everyone seemed to have something on their minds.
