While everyone, including Jiang Fei, was busy with the war, they were kicked out of the server when it was time for it to shut down.
Today was not the first day that players had been killing, being killed, rushing to farm experience points, it had been five days since they were able to do so. Everyone was the same. Players logged in and started to rush into the war zone. Rinse and repeat.
This cycle of dying and reviving was boring, but from a regular player's perspective, it was all worth it. As the war dragged on, the use of magic cannons on the Light Faction fortress declined. They would only be used when players of the Shadow Faction had rushed to the drawbridge. Even so, players of the Shadow Faction were happy as they had ever been.
