### 📢 PART 3/3 – New Event & Test Server
### 🌍 New Event: Village Defense
A brand-new cooperative event where all players must work together to defend the village.
**How it works:**
* 👹 One or more Bosses will spawn at different locations and begin marching toward the village.
* ⚔️ They will attack everything in their path.
* ❌ If a Boss reaches the village, **no one will receive rewards**.
* ✅ If the Boss is defeated before reaching the village:
* Some players will receive **rare items**.
* Everyone who participated in the fight will receive a reward.
* Rewards include the new **Hero Rune**.
* 🎁 Unlike other Bosses, rewards **are not based on the last hit**. Instead, items are randomly distributed among all players who participated in the battle.
### 🧪 Advanced Test Server
Before releasing this update to the live servers, we'll open an **Advanced Test Server**.
🐞 Players who find and report bugs related to this update will receive **Coin rewards**.
