Chapter 1 Defending Xiyue Town

Star Ring's 300,000 elite troops surrounded Xiyue Town completely, and more than a hundred large heavy crossbows also began to advance slowly to set up their formations at Lu Xingluo's command, tugging at the hearts of all the players in Xiyue Town.

Such a large-scale siege was definitely a first for the Dark Night Empire.

Watching the dark masses of people surging like a tidal wave, the magnificent sight made the members of Hundred Flowers Palace on the city wall tremble nervously, one by one.

Even though they were usually members of a first-rate guild, they had long experienced various PKs, and some had experienced some big battles, but compared to this one, they were simply not worth mentioning.

Qi Guang and Can Yun, who were watching on the city wall, couldn't help but feel shocked by this scene.

"So amazing! Is this what a guild war is like?"

"Although I've seen guild wars with my own eyes before, the feeling of facing it personally is really different from watching from the sidelines."

"Hundreds of large heavy crossbows, is that the foundation of a super force?"

Faced with the 300,000 elite army in front of them, even Qi Guang and the others, as experts of the Micro Realm, who could break through the blockade set up by tens of thousands of troops, would feel how insignificant their individual power was in front of this army, and they couldn't even make a ripple.

Although they faced many players during the previous breakout, it was ultimately a narrow mountain road, and it was already pretty good if a hundred people could fight at the same time. What they faced now was a plain, and they would have to face hundreds or thousands of people at the same time. The two were not on the same level at all.

Not to mention the existence of large heavy crossbows, a hundred of them firing in succession could turn even a group of top experts into slag.

"It seems that the Star Ring Guild not only wants to destroy Hundred Flowers Palace, but also wants to use Hundred Flowers Palace as a warning to others in the Dark Night Empire," Shi Feng said, glancing at the slowly approaching large heavy crossbows, with a touch of emotion in his eyes.

Large heavy crossbows!

This thing was much more useful than the town's turrets. Although the range was not as far as the turrets, the power was at the true Tier 3 level, and the cooling time was shorter. It was just that the coverage area of the shells was not as large.

Moreover, because the design was not difficult to obtain and the materials were not rare, a Novice Master could make them, so they were one of the mainstream weapons in siege battles in his previous life.

The only drawback was that they were too expensive.

The cost of a large heavy crossbow was more than 1,000 gold, and with the problem of the failure rate, it would cost about 3,000 gold for a Novice Master to make one. Right now, there were more than 100 of them, which meant that Star Ring had spent at least 300,000 gold.

It had to be said that a super force was a super force. It had money and power. He definitely wouldn't be willing to spend so much.

Although a large heavy crossbow was only half the price of a turret, the turret's defense was extremely high. It could withstand a few Tier 4 attacks, but the large heavy crossbow couldn't. Not to mention a Tier 4 attack, it couldn't withstand two or three Tier 3 attacks. Moreover, every use would cause durability loss, and the repair costs after the battle would be a considerable expense. People without money really couldn't afford to use them.

"Guild Leader Yefeng, we finally found you." At this time, Mu Yun suddenly walked over and said urgently, "The battle is about to begin. Xiyue Town is too dangerous. You should prepare quickly, and we'll find a chance to break through later."

"You're not planning to keep Xiyue Town?" Shi Feng asked strangely.

From what he had learned before, he already knew that Xiyue Town could be said to be the last hope of Hundred Flowers Palace in the Dark Night Empire. If Xiyue Town was gone, Hundred Flowers Palace would not be able to continue to develop in the Dark Night Empire and would only be able to choose to leave the Dark Night Empire.

"Xiyue Town can't be defended anymore. The strength gap is too big. All we can do now is preserve the guild's strength as much as possible." Mu Yun shook her head.

If possible, she would also like to, but the strength gap between the two sides had reached an obvious point. Even if Guild Leader Hua Yingyue led 200,000 elite troops to defend Xiyue Town now, the result would not change.

Because the town's defenses were simply useless in front of hundreds of large heavy crossbows, it was better to keep their strength and develop in a new place.

"Is that so?" Shi Feng understood the thoughts of Hundred Flowers Palace and couldn't help but smile and suggest, "What if I said there was a way to defend Xiyue Town?"

"Defend Xiyue Town?" Mu Yun couldn't help but blink her eyes, somewhat unable to react.

"Yes, Star Ring's attack is not impossible to resist, but if you want to defend Xiyue Town, it will involve the core secrets of our Zero Wing Guild," Shi Feng nodded.

"Can you really defend it?" Mu Yun couldn't help but confirm with Shi Feng again.

She already understood very well what Shi Feng meant. As long as they became allies of Zero Wing, Zero Wing would be willing to help defend Xiyue Town. There was nothing wrong with this, but she really couldn't think of any way to defend Xiyue Town now.

"I'd say I have a 70 to 80 percent chance," Shi Feng thought for a moment and said.

"70 to 80 percent?!" Mu Yun's eyes widened, and she looked at Shi Feng in disbelief.

Facing 300,000 elite troops and hundreds of large heavy crossbows, he still had a 70 to 80 percent chance of winning under such circumstances. If she hadn't been following Shi Feng all the way and had some understanding of him, she would have suspected that Shi Feng was a big liar.

"If it doesn't succeed, I can represent Zero Wing in giving up the alliance conditions. Conversely, if it succeeds, the alliance conditions discussed before will remain unchanged. What do you think?" Shi Feng asked, looking at Mu Yun.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with the Guild Leader now." Mu Yun looked at Shi Feng's confident tone and conditions, and then began to contact Guild Leader Hua Yingyue and Vice Guild Leader Fei Xin, telling them everything and letting them make the decision.

"Defend Xiyue Town? Is it possible to do it in this situation?" Fei Xin couldn't believe what Mu Yun said.

It should be known that even the super forces War Soul and Scarlet Emperor wouldn't dare to intervene at this time. One reason was that they couldn't defend it, and the other was that they were afraid of getting burned.

"But Zero Wing has already said so. Even if we fail, we won't suffer any losses. It doesn't hurt to try." Hua Yingyue pondered for a moment and finally decided to try. It was better than doing nothing and leaving the Dark Night Empire directly.

Afterwards, Mu Yun represented Hua Yingyue and signed a contract for the alliance between the two guilds with Shi Feng. As long as Xiyue Town could be defended, Hundred Flowers Palace would be willing to hand over 50% of the business rights of the shops to Zero Wing. Conversely, if it didn't succeed, the condition for the alliance would be gone.

"Guild Leader Yefeng, tell me, what does Hundred Flowers Palace need to do now?" After signing the contract, Mu Yun quickly asked Shi Feng.

"What is the total number of players from your Hundred Flowers Palace stationed in Xiyue Town now? Can you tell me about the specific combat power?" Shi Feng thought for a moment and then asked.

"The current number of members stationed in Xiyue Town is 35,000, of which more than 3,000 are expert players, and there are more than 300 Tier 2 NPCs among the 1,000 NPC guards," Mu Yun said one by one. "If necessary, we can also use 4,000 bottles of Bloodsource Potion to create 4,000 expert combatants."

Although such combat power was already quite good for guarding a small town, it seemed somewhat fragile in the face of 300,000 elite troops.

"Not bad, it should be enough." Shi Feng nodded and then looked at Qi Guang and the others next to him and said, "Okay, you guys should prepare to start working too. The target is the Star Ring Guild's large heavy crossbows!"

"Great, I thought we wouldn't have a chance to use it this time." Qi Guang and the others' eyes lit up when they heard this.
