In the end, the Players who chose to fight the zombie hordes at Sotimi at the start were unable to protect their crops, with the dragon-slaying Players all flooding them and stealing most of their kills.
But it wasn't unusual that such a thing happened—Players who had chosen to fight the Dead Red Dragon were confident about their own ability and were elites amongst the Players.
In a direct competition, the Players who chose to fight the Undead Orks naturally wouldn't win.
Not even Xi Wei imagined that the mighty dragon was actually that noob, and dropped in less than two days under the Players' onslaught.
After all, his original plan was for the dragon to last at least five days despite the Players' encirclement, and die from a single combined strike by all the Players when it approached Tunaya.
