Ashen Dragon Chapter 730

Chapter 730: Chapter 108 Occupation Expansion Pack: Nine Prisons! Chapter 730: Chapter 108 Occupation Expansion Pack: Nine Prisons! Stormy Ridge, Barto City.

This city was built by the Tieflings over a decade ago and was one of the earliest territories of the Ashen Empire. But as time passed, this once simple city has transformed dramatically.

Now, Barto City has expanded its area several times, with towering and orderly buildings everywhere, and the walls and eaves are adorned with fierce and lifelike carvings, showcasing the Tiefling's heritage of Purgatory style.

Outside the city lies a steam train station from the south, where the classic Purgatory aesthetics of the Tieflings blends with the industrial style of the Empire, creating a quite miraculous chemical reaction.

Inside Barto City, the streets are bustling with people. The current population of Barto City has reached fifty thousand, making it one of the larger cities within the Empire.

Approximately forty percent of the residents here are Tieflings, but there are also mixes of Humans, Great Goblins, Ogres, Half-Orcs, and many other races. Of course, there are also countless players who aren't included in the official statistics.

Due to its location on Stormy Ridge, the terrain outside the city is varied with intense elemental reactions, and many ferocious and violent monsters inhabit the area. There have also been incidents of rail destruction. Thus, it has become an excellent place for new players to take assignments and gain experience.

However, this time, more players are massively flocking towards Barto City, arriving from the ground, from the sky, crossing spaces.

Outside Barto City, at the steam train platform, accompanied by a slight ground tremble, a steel beast first appeared at the horizon, galloping across the wilderness, then slowly entered the platform, emitting a loud steam whistle.

“Woo–”
“Arriving at Bator City Station, dear passengers, please remember His Majesty's grace, line up and disembark orderly.”

The crisp voice of the conductor echoes inside the carriage, but as soon as the doors open, passengers race out, flooding out like a tide.

“Charge!”

“Quick, quick! If you're late, there'll be nothing left!”

“Old Wang, you're a warrior, strong and healthy, carve a path for me!”

“Those old players are flying and teleporting, while us newbies can only take the train, we're already far behind, every second counts!”

“Damn, it's so crowded here, I should've not minded losing experience and just killed myself to teleport here.”

“You guys keep jamming here, but I'm flying straight in!” the Mage Player sneered coldly, tearing a Flying Scroll in his hand, his body immediately becoming as light as the wind, lifting off the ground.

Suddenly, he let out a scream: “Ah, who the hell ambushed me!”

On the ground, a Thief Player threw out a rope, accurately snagging it around the legs of the player who had soared up, pulling him down harshly.

“Down you go!”

“Damn, it's a Black Beast!”

[Nocturne Psalm] drank an Accelerating Spiritual Medicine, wiped his mouth, and his steps became fleet as a phantom, darting through the crowd and running to the front in the blink of an eye.

“Hahaha, eat my dust!”

The Berserker Player tilted his head back, without hesitation, guzzled an entire bottle of Frenzy Potion, and instantly, with a “crackle” sound, exaggerated muscles tore his clothes apart.

“Aaaaah! Those blocking my way will die!”

His eyes glowing red, he pushed everything in his path, running wildly with an unstoppable momentum.

Meanwhile, a Druid Player summoned wolves, pheasants, and bears, a diverse array of animals surrounding him to clear the way.

Suddenly, near the platform, it was chaos with animals scattered everywhere, almost turning into a “battlefield” as all players tried to get into Barto City ahead of others.

Inside the steam train's VIP compartment, the former Tiefling Guard Captain, Baron Eckmon, who was returning to Barto City to visit family, looked out the window with a face full of annoyance.

He watched the crazy flood of players emerging from the carriages, his face showing a ghostly expression.

“Cassius above, what nonsense are these Starfallen causing again?”

As someone who joined the Tiefling Guards ten years ago and has been matching wits with players for many years, Eckmon is used to this but powerless, only able to sigh deeply.

“Sigh, better to avoid the fray for now, I'll go home later, a little delay won't hurt.”

According to Empire standards, under normal circumstances, this '[Long Live the Empire]' train has a capacity for six hundred people, but this train carried nearly two thousand, with the vast majority being players.

They rack their brains, using various methods, some crowding inside, some lying on the roof, some even hanging on the sides of the carriages, turning themselves into ornaments of the train.

Players riding Bipedal Wyverns flew across the sky while others riding Worgs dashed desperately on the ground, multiple spatial cracks continuously appearing outside the city…

Players from all directions of the Empire rushed forth with one very clear and straightforward goal–Occupation Expansion Pack: The Nine Layers of Hell of Barto!

Just hours ago, Empire Officials posted notices in all cities, conveying this message to players: go to Barto City, and you can gain the devil's power from Hell!

The devil's power, which might be a dangerous and detestable poison to mortals, is, for players–an incredible freebie from heaven!

For power, they would digest the toe of Frost Giants, the scalp of Witches, so what's making a Demon Contract?

Moreover, becoming a Hell Knight, a Demon Contract Warrior, growing Devil's Bat Wings, in the eyes of players, it's not only not scary but extremely cool, directly hitting their thrill-spot.
