The day of the start of the Plagued Lands came a little too suddenly as the players, who were trying to scout the location of the event were still in the middle of their tasks when the system suddenly announced that the event was already starting.
It was somewhat confusing since it was said that the army of the Righteous Churches was supposed to lead the players and solidify the defenses of the outposts that had been set up ahead of time.
The regional announcement came a little too sudden, making those who were still in the middle of preparations unable to react in time. Both the independent individuals and those from the elite groups and top guilds were somewhat late due to the sudden announcement.
As for the players who were still scouting the area, they had gotten a little off guard due to the sudden increase of the Plagued Monsters within the region, which made it hard for them to continue advancing.
