Chapter 264 The Gathering Storm
And secondly, because the Order of the Shattering Light followers had committed unforgivable crimes right under their noses without them noticing, they felt ashamed before the Holy Son.
Speaking of this matter, Master PungPong and his team suddenly began discussing another famous holographic game that was currently trending online.
Spicy Flavor Fairy remarked, "It seems that only World of Eorera can produce true holographic games."
This was a sentiment Spicy Flavor Fairy expressed after watching gameplay videos of the other game.
Master PungPong nodded in agreement. "I've also watched videos of that game, and the quality is really lacking. So even though World of Eorera has its flaws, no other game can really compare to it."
Master PungPong spoke boldly, but in fact, everyone shared this view.
As a side note, their opinion about the game company was largely due to the recent storyline development where Ulon City was destroyed.
It was the first time they had encountered such a plot twist.
Overall, however, the players had long developed a strong attachment to <<God's Games Online>>.
Hearing about other companies attempting to imitate or compete with it was something they could not tolerate.
After seeing the game graphics of the <<World of Fantasy>>, their feelings were only strengthened.
Chatting all the way back to the church, the players found Father Barry and informed him of their findings from the investigation.
Father Barry, upon hearing their conclusions, nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, heroes. From the information you've gathered, I now know where these Order of the Shattering Light followers have gone."
Master PungPong and his team exchanged glances, surprised that Father Barry had found the Order of the Shattering Light followers' location so quickly.
However, they wondered why, after Father Barry's statement, there was no further information, and they had not been given a quest to locate the Order of the Shattering Light followers.
Since the information had been uncovered, they should have started taking action.
When they asked Father Barry about it, he explained, "The repair work on Ulon City is still ongoing, and we must be prepared for potential demon attacks at any time. We can't afford to have all the heroes focusing solely on this matter."
Following Father Barry's reminder, Master PungPong and his team recalled that the barrier of Ulon City had been destroyed, and there were no Royal Knights guarding the city gates.
This was the most vulnerable time for Ulon City, and they needed to be extremely cautious.
Perhaps because things had been progressing too smoothly, Master PungPong and his team had completely forgotten about the current critical situation they were in.
With the explanation given, Master PungPong understood that even though it was a main quest, it didn't require too many people to complete, and there was no need to focus on this small matter.
On their way out of the church, they encountered a weary Hanjun.
Seeing Hanjun, Master PungPong approached and asked, "Holy Son, is there anything else you need our help with?"
Hanjun was intercepted halfway, and upon seeing Master PungPong and his team, he felt it was perfect timing. "Ah, you're here. I need to speak with you."
Master PungPong and his team followed Hanjun back to the church.
They saw Father Barry, who had been frowning, and when he saw Hanjun, he started to walk quickly towards him, as if he wanted to tell Hanjun something.
However, upon seeing the crowd of followers trailing behind Hanjun, the words were caught in his throat.
Master PungPong had noticed Father Barry's troubled expression when he arrived, but Father Barry had been unresponsive when they had inquired.
It seemed that this matter was highly significant, or else Father Barry wouldn't have shown such a worried demeanor.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Hanjun noticed their gaze and revealed Master PungPong and his team, then told Father Barry, "Don't mind them; just speak directly."
Father Barry's face was tense, but since Hanjun had spoken, he no longer held back.
"Holy Son, Ulon City's resources are already depleted, and we are facing the greatest crisis yet!"
"If we can't get through this, Ulon City may not be able to survive."
Hanjun told Father Barry to calm down and not to be too agitated in front of the heroes.
In front of the heroes, Father Barry took a deep breath and said, "Holy Son, the demons have indeed caused unavoidable resource losses. Our casualties are severe. The Royal Knights are almost completely wiped out; they no longer have the capability to fight independently. The Adventurers' Guild has also suffered significant losses. As for the Church of Light..."
There was no need for Father Barry to elaborate further.
In truth, the Church of Light only had Father Barry who needed to be safeguarded.
Other players could respawn even if they died, but if Father Barry and the church were destroyed in this battle, the loss would be catastrophic.
Father Barry continued, "Because of the demons, our fields for growing grain and herbs have been destroyed, and the warehouses have been burned clean. The remaining supplies we have are insufficient. The ironworks are in relatively good shape and haven't been too affected, but..."
Hanjun understood the unspoken part of Father Barry's message.
In a battle, if they aren't fully prepared with food and medicine, they won't be able to hold out for long.
Ulon City is currently facing such a situation, and with a well-informed and vigilant enemy outside, the stakes are even higher.
Hearing this from Father Barry, Master PungPong and his team became anxious. They hadn't realized the situation was so severe.
Could Ulon City possibly not withstand a second attack from the demons?
They quickly offered, "What else is needed? We can help!"
However, Hanjun intervened, stopping them. "Your efforts cannot be focused on these smaller issues."
But!
Master PungPong and his group were quite agitated.

Knowing the dire situation Ulon City was facing, how could they stand by?
Hanjun's gaze stopped them.
At just fifteen years old, his look was incredibly firm, leaving them unable to counter his decision.
