Chapter 1053 Seizing Shilin Town

"Guild Leader, are you really planning to do this?" The Priest, Yan Xue, asked, somewhat unable to comprehend.

Shilin Town, as an important town, was very close to the Stoneclaw Mountains, but very far from other NPC-teleport towns. It was impossible to provide rapid support during a major battle. The other side could use Guild Teleport Scrolls to arrive immediately, and resurrection after death could be done directly in the town.

It was a town that was easy to defend and hard to attack.

Although the protection period for Shilin Town had passed, players could spend money to recruit NPC guards. The level of these recruited NPC guards might not be comparable to the 150-level NPC guards hired during the protection period, but the level of guards that could be recruited was 10 to 15 levels higher than the players.

As an important town of the Zero Wing Guild, after the protection period ended, the Zero Wing Guild recruited a full five hundred Tier 1 NPC guards above level 50. In addition, there were many player guards stationed there, and there was also the primary magical pulse cannon, a war weapon from the last war against the Star River Alliance.

The destructive power and attack range of that thing were really beyond words. Even now, seeing the battle videos from back then, they still felt lingering fear.

It wouldn't be so easy to fight, and it would likely require the sacrifice of a massive number of players to take it down.

The others also looked at Yi Xiao Du Zang, each showing a look of surprise.

It wasn't that they hadn't considered taking Shilin Town, but it was too early. Seeing that the mount era had already begun, they had to wait at least a little longer.

"I know your concerns, but I have already considered these. Since we are going to act, I naturally have a certain degree of confidence." Yi Xiao Du Zang smiled and said, "However, please let Miss Ling explain this."

Immediately, everyone looked at Ling Jingxuan, who was sitting to the side, their eyes full of questions.

"I received news that the Zero Wing Guild has recently been in contact with many large enterprises, wanting them to invest and support them. In addition, Dragon Phoenix Pavilion has also begun to take action, constantly suppressing and dealing with the Zero Wing branch in Lakeside City. The Zero Wing Guild has sent a lot of people over there, and the number of Zero Wing members stationed in Shilin Town has decreased a lot."

"But the most important thing is that the Zero Wing Guild is about to take action in White River City. They even sent back the Zero Wing Guild's strongest Black God Legion. As long as the Zero Wing Guild begins to encircle and suppress the people from the Dark Guild, the people from the Dark Guild will find a way to delay the Zero Wing's main force, and we on both sides can take the opportunity to attack Shilin Town."

Ling Jingxuan's explanation made everyone's eyes light up.

If the Zero Wing Guild really defended Shilin Town to the death, it would really be impossible for them to take it down, but now that the Zero Wing Guild members were so scattered, with their strength, it was really possible to take Shilin Town easily.

"I have a question!" Wu Xia suddenly said, "If the Zero Wing Guild members use Guild Return Scrolls, they can easily gather together. Even if we gather our manpower to attack quickly, it is impossible to be faster than Zero Wing."

Ling Jingxuan seemed to have expected someone to say this, and took out more than a dozen ancient and dilapidated magic scrolls from her backpack, showing them to everyone.

"This is..."

Everyone looked at the text introduction of these magic scrolls, not understanding what they were for, and suddenly their mouths were wide open, completely unable to believe that this was true.

Sealed World Magic Array!

It could seal off an area for a period of time, so that the players in this area could neither teleport out, nor could the outside world teleport in. It was simply an siege artifact!

If the Zero Wing Guild had no way to teleport players into Shilin Town, with just the few people in Shilin Town, they could completely capture it.

As long as Shilin Town was gone, the Zero Wing Guild's main source of income would be gone. They could occupy Shilin Town to obtain a large amount of wealth. With one side gaining and the other losing, it would only be a matter of time before the Zero Wing Guild was completely destroyed.

"The Sealed World Magic Array will be handed over to you. I hope you can build it as soon as possible. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave." After Ling Jingxuan finished speaking, she left the conference hall under the gaze of everyone.

"Wu Xia, you all go and prepare now. The advanced lifestyle players who will build the Sealed World Magic Array have already been arranged. Your task is to protect them to complete the construction work. You must not allow others to sabotage it!" Yi Xiao Du Zang said sternly.

"Don't worry, Guild Leader!" Everyone responded excitedly.

The Sealed World Magic Array was very powerful, but it also had a big drawback. It was necessary to send people to build the core of the magic array in various parts of the map. In the middle, due to the changes in magic power, it was easy to cause the surrounding monsters to riot and attack the core frantically. Therefore, it was necessary to send a team to protect and guard it. This was the reason for summoning them back.

If they wanted to seal off such a large map as Shilin Town, they would need to build at least fourteen magic array cores, which meant that they would need to guard fourteen places. If too many of them acted, it would easily attract the attention of the Zero Wing Guild. Therefore, sending elite teams to guard was the most suitable. When they attacked Shilin Town, they only needed to send a large number of elites to replace the guarding work.

...

In the Zero Wing Residence in White River City, after Shi Feng recalled the Black God Legion, he asked Huo Wu and the others to organize the Guild's experts and elites and officially announced on the Internet that they would crusade against all Dark Guilds in the Star-Moon Kingdom that were enemies of the Zero Wing Guild!

This immediately attracted the attention of all players in the Star-Moon Kingdom. The post declaring war was pushed to the top, and it was directly pinned to the top in just a few minutes.

"Crazy, really crazy!"

"The Zero Wing Guild is too awesome. They dare to publicly crusade against all the Dark Guilds in the Star-Moon Kingdom. With the temper of the Dark Guilds, they will definitely fight to the death!"

"Zero Wing is mighty!"

Ordinary players only felt that the Zero Wing Guild was too awesome. They were not only at war with the two kingdom behemoths, Blackwater and Underworld, but now they were also at war with the Dark Guilds, which everyone avoided. Only a madman would do such a thing.

The major guilds were even more stunned by the Zero Wing Guild's declaration of war.

Ordinary players didn't know what the Dark Guilds were like, but these formal guilds knew very well. Don't look down on the small number of people in the Dark Guilds, but these people were even more difficult to deal with than sticky candy. Even if they were besieged, it was commonplace for these Dark Guilds. Even if they died, the Dark Guilds would not compensate their members in any way. They could only blame themselves for not being capable enough.

Speaking of the survival ability of the Dark Guild players, they were really much stronger than the players in the formal guilds. The most critical point was that the location of the Dark Guilds was not like that of the formal guilds, which had guild residences. They were completely like free players, living in no fixed place. A bar could be used as a residence, and they could change their residence at will in the towns of the Dark Faction, making it difficult to concentrate attacks.

As for consumption, the members of the formal guilds were even less comparable to the Dark Guilds. These Dark Guild members could level up by killing players, which the players of the formal guilds could not do. Over time, they would only be slowly worn down. Therefore, the major formal guilds did not want to provoke the Dark Guilds too much and would turn a blind eye.

Logically speaking, for the hired Dark Guilds, Zero Wing should deal with the Blackwater and Underworld Guilds even more. After all, the Dark Guilds were only taking money to eliminate disasters for others, and they could just deal with them casually. If they really fought and provoked so many Dark Guilds, it would not be a good thing for the Guild itself.

However, the Zero Wing Guild ignored the Blackwater and Underworld Guilds and focused on dealing with the Dark Guilds, which was a completely foolish act of neglecting the main issue.
