Infinite Range: The Sniper Mage

Chapter 319: 319: The Battle for Pondenorlin City!

"Public Dungeon [Territorial Struggle] has been activated!"

"Players with noble titles may challenge Bibienne in a duel!"

"Difficulty:Hell-Tier"

"Victory Condition: Maintain control of the arena for seven days. The final victor will be named the Lord of Pondenorlin City!"

"Note: The new Lord will have a 365-day protection period, during which they can ignore challenges from players and NPCs."

"Major Announcement: Judicial Executor Daziel will oversee the competition in Pondenorlin City!"

The chat exploded.

Iron Cavalry: "What the hell?! My entire estate is just gone like that?!"

Someone else laughed. "Serves him right! I bet Orgod is regretting it so much his guts are turning green!"

Many players breathed a sigh of relief. Celestial Fortress was already ridiculously overpowered—if Orgod became the official lord of Pondenorlin City, life in this game would be impossible.

Money Traveler: "What's the big deal? If they won't give it to us, we'll just take it!"

Slaughter Spree: "You're the one panicking. This dungeon, this kind of 1v1 duel setup—it's a death trap for mages."

Money Traveler: "Oh? Are you saying you want to solo Orson? Or are you talking about fighting me?"

Slaughter Spree immediately changed the topic, pretending he hadn't seen the message, and instead focused on discussing the dungeon mechanics.

According to the rules, challengers faced a severe disadvantage. Even in a fair fight, the defending player had a 20% higher chance of winning due to the ability to customize battle conditions.

For example, the defender could dictate the battlefield setting, restrict the use of items, disable mounts or battle pets, and limit external buffs.

For a long-range class like Orson, this was a nightmare.

If the arena was set in an enclosed space, any melee fighter with decent durability could bulldoze through a mage's defenses before they had a chance to retaliate.
