Zaol and Gregor stood on top of sturdy branches, watching the chaos they created from the side.
"I hoped we attracted a bit more," Zaol said, sounding very regretful.
The thing was, the sight he was looking at was a small massacre of people, with quite a few people eaten whole.
Gregor looked at him, and then at the monsters rampaging below. "The war already started. We could not take too long."
"Sigh, I know."
About half a day after the declaration was posted, the two of them received new beast attraction potions to try out. They were asked to head out to attract monsters into the war zone. This was in exchange for a good amount of contribution points, of course.
The two of them were, unfortunately, way beyond the level cap of Town wars, so they couldn't do anything directly against the enemies. They were more than happy to join in this way.
The thing was, Alterra's clearing missions were quite intense, so there really were not enough monsters nearby.
To create a big enough monster mob to impact an enemy this size, interestingly, ended up being a bit of a challenge.
After some thought, the two of them sprinted to the edge of Alterra Town's area of effect.
A Town's area of effect—that was to say, where the town-level monsters stayed— was at least 10 kilometers. This was for weaker ones. Alterra's was nearly 50 kilometers.
This alone was indicative of its strength.
At the same time, because it was wide, this meant that— while there may be an overall larger amount of 'strong' monsters in the vicinity—they were more spread out compared to other places.
So the two major powerhouses decided to go around this massive area of effect, gathering strong monsters in the area. Their path was to go around the huge perimeter of the area of effect, slowly heading inwards in a giant spiral.
As they reached the edge, they wore coats that were coated with Miss Althea and Grandmaster Hoffen's improved beast-attracting potions.
They also lowered their auras, making sure their high levels didn't scare off the monsters. This wasn't completely effective, and there would be monsters that'd be scared away, which was why this gathering mission was more of a numbers game. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
The additional they gathered, the more would be left behind.
That said, because they were so strong, they could go about in a leisurely pace and not worry about the monsters damaging them at all. They also could not go too quickly, because the wind and movement could dissipate the potion faster, decreasing its efficiency.
Beast Attracting potions lasted only a few hours, after all, especially ones that could attract monsters past level 20. If they spent so many hours gathering these monsters, only to have them leave when they were near the end would've been depressing.
Interestingly, this experimental potion did last a while longer than they expected (which counted as a successful experiment)!
Even though they still lost about half of the monsters at the periphery (mostly due to the stark level differences), this was already more than they expected. They didn't know what Miss Althea and Grandmaster Hoffen did, but it was quite impressive!
Anyway, they ended up bringing in about a few thousand monsters, hundreds of which were past level 15.
This probably wouldn't obliterate an army with so many level 30s, but it should be enough to cause them trouble.
As could be seen right now…
Crunch!
BANG!
"AHHHH!"
