Camping.

In MMORPGs, the term, “camping” referred to staying in the same place and killing a monster over and over again each time it respawned. When performed against raid monsters, camping could last up to two weeks, or sometimes even longer.

Of course, having an entire guild stay in the same place for a long time could incite tensions with other groups of people. In games where PKing was allowed, this could provoke entire wars.

In Sky World, PKing was unregulated outside of towns.

“At any rate, it’s strange,” moaned Jun, as he munched on the bread he baked himself.

After they managed to confirm that the Illusionary Brigade was camping the Phoenix, the group reconvened for lunch in the bar and shared whatever information they had learned.

It had become clear that the Illusionary Brigade was out in a frenzy collecting Phoenix Blood.

“It’s not just my shop. They’ve scoured the whole city, just to look for Phoenix Blood.” Ryuka had gotten in touch with other shopkeepers. “I heard that they, whoever they were, were buying them out at any cost. Even if they were overpriced tenfold, they’d swoop in and make the purchase without hesitating. In the auctions too. As soon as the Phoenix Bloods were placed on display, they would pay the buyout price. Now, nobody in the whole city has any Phoenix Blood. And even with all that the Illusionary Brigade has bought, they’re still camping Phoenixes…”

“It’s indisputable among everybody I know. They’re definitely camping Phoenixes,” Yukaria chimed in. “Though a few guilds have gone into negotiations with the Illusionary Brigade, they respond with, ‘We’re not in the mood to stop at this moment,’ persistently… They won’t even tell us why they’re engaging in such activities. Those guys are just stubborn, even when threatened with weapons.”

“Brute force will always reign supreme,” interjected Eri.

From the start, the Illusionary Brigade was known as a menacing force. They were famous for their coerciveness in negotiations with their incredibly large 500-person-strong guild. Though now, it seemed that they had shifted their focus to the fourth island ring…

“Hey, on just this island, it seems like there’s about a hundred Illusionary Brigade members,” continued Eri. She had amassed some information of their members from other adventurers. “Over the course of about two months, there were many newcomers to this lower island. Though my contacts heard a lot about them… there’s not much that they know in detail. The Illusionary Brigade has many strict rules and regulations. As soon as you join, you have to sever ties with any player not affiliated with the guild. You aren’t even allowed non-guild-issued communication stones, let alone ones for former friends. It’s like an army.”

“Well, that’s ‘cause raid guilds often resemble armies in nature. Disallowing communications is just a precaution against spies.”

Jun had joined raid guilds before in other MMOs. He had even been at the center of such guilds, along with Kai as the leader.
