Ethan quickly split his forces into four squads. Each squad was led by Slashblade, Skyblade, SeraphWarrior, and Meatball.
Each leader took 2,000 players, heading toward the four closest towns to Duskridge, one in each cardinal direction. Though these towns weren't as large as Duskridge, they had strategic value.
In the future, if anyone wanted to take control of Duskridge, these locations would serve as fast-travel hubs for a siege.
So, Ethan's plan?
Let Blade Syndicate waste resources rebuilding Duskridge. Once they finished fixing it up, he'd take it from them in one decisive strike.
Just imagining Marcus Skeiner's reaction made Ethan smirk.
Slashblade glanced at him. "Boss, you're carrying that Divine Ability Scroll. The system broadcasts your coordinates every ten minutes—shouldn't we leave some people with you for backup?"
Ethan chuckled. "Lyla's with me. That's all I need."
