Chapter 1 Ballista Catapults

The Niuren Tribe (Bull Tribe) was sharpening its knives. With the appearance of the ballista catapults, the players of the Mage Alliance were thrown into a panic. This was the first time they had seen ballista catapults. The size of the ballista catapults was even bigger than the Frost Ironclad Catapults, so their power would certainly not be weak.

The Frost Ironclad Catapults had already made many of them suffer, and now there was another ballista catapult, which made them very depressed.

In front of the huge ballista catapults, the huge Edgeton Fortress had instead become their tomb.

"Boss, everything is ready!"

"Issue the order!"

"Those idiots in the Mage Alliance have been cowering in the city ever since we arrived in Moonlit City. They think it's okay to hide in the tortoise shell of Edgeton Fortress. A bunch of idiots." A Niuren Tribe (Bull Tribe) player ridiculed.

"It's still good to follow Leader Nie Yan. Anyway, no matter what, Leader Nie Yan won't let us suffer a loss for no reason. At least not like the Mage Alliance, staying in the fortress and becoming the target of catapult bombardments." The player said with deep feeling.

Nie Yan saw that everything was ready and sent a message to Cui Can Dao Guang (Brilliant Saber Light), saying, "Let's begin."

"Okay, I've been waiting for you to say that." Cui Can Dao Guang (Brilliant Saber Light) said excitedly.

Cui Can Dao Guang (Brilliant Saber Light) roared in the guild group chat, "Brothers, the war has begun, flatten Edgeton today! Bombard them fiercely first!"

"Flatten Edgeton!" A deafening roar came from the guild group chat. Hearing that a war was about to begin, these guys were extremely excited.

Cui Can Dao Guang (Brilliant Saber Light) gave an order, and all six ballista catapults were activated. Boulders were thrown into the sky, drawing huge arcs in the sky, flying over two thousand yards, and smashing down towards the distant Edgeton Fortress.

"Damn, what's this attack range!" The Mage Alliance players cursed as they watched the boulders flying in the sky.

"Sheng Yan, what do we do?" Kuang Fa (Mad Mage) asked anxiously. Staying in Edgeton Fortress would only result in passive beatings. Rushing out of Edgeton Fortress would still result in beatings. There was only a dead end in sight.

"How would I know?" Sheng Yan (Holy Flame) said gloomily. The Niuren Tribe (Bull Tribe)'s ranged and mid-range firepower was too fierce. To break through this line of defense and kill the Niuren Tribe (Bull Tribe), at least seventy or eighty percent of them would have to be sacrificed. How could those few people fight the Niuren Tribe (Bull Tribe) after reaching them?

As soon as they finished speaking, six boulders whistled through the sky and flew into Edgeton Fortress.

Boom, boom, boom, the boulders fell into the fortress. The six huge stones rolled away, destroying countless houses along the way. Some unlucky players happened to be in front of the rolling boulders and were instantly crushed into mincemeat.

Edgeton Fortress was immediately reduced to ruins, with six deep pits extending all the way into the distance.

Next to the six ballista catapults, the Niuren Tribe (Bull Tribe) players were busy working.

"Adjust the trajectory. The power was too great just now. Reduce the pulling force by one level. Number six's trajectory should be shifted 12 degrees west." Shui Se Yan Tou (Smoky Water) directed the players from the side.

Everyone was worried that the range of the ballista catapults would not be far enough, so they all adjusted the trajectory to the highest level. They didn't expect the ballista catapults to be so powerful, and they all bombarded the inside of Edgeton Fortress at once. Their goal was the Ironclad Catapults on the city wall. As long as the Ironclad Catapults were blown away, then the Frost Ironclad Catapults could push all the way into Edgeton Fortress. Under Shui Se Yan Tou (Smoky Water)'s guidance, they adjusted the firing height of the ballista catapults.

Every three warriors formed a group to quickly move the boulders and place them on the ballista catapults.

As soon as the boulders were placed on, the lever on the ballista catapult popped up, and six boulders were thrown into the air, smashing towards Edgeton Fortress.

"Move the stones faster, three groups take turns, and those who control the ballista catapults, be careful, aim first before firing!" Shui Se Yan Tou (Smoky Water) shouted, his deep voice very majestic. Under his guidance, the players' movements were meticulous, and they dared not slack off in the slightest.

Edgeton Fortress suffered a dense bombardment, and boulders fell from the sky.

Kuang Fa (Mad Mage) looked back and saw the fortress in a mess. The Niuren Tribe (Bull Tribe)'s boulders had caused such great losses! Every building in Edgeton Fortress had been built with a huge amount of money. Seeing this tragic situation, his heart was bleeding.

"We only have two paths to take now." Sheng Yan (Holy Flame) said from the side. As soon as he finished speaking, a boulder hit an Ironclad Catapult on the city wall not far away. Under the bombardment of the boulder, the Ironclad Catapult was immediately torn apart, and debris flew everywhere, which was quite spectacular.

The Ironclad Catapult, which was invincible on the battlefield, seemed so fragile and vulnerable to the attack of the ballista catapult.

After a few rounds of bombardment, only five of the eleven Ironclad Catapults on the city wall of Edgeton Fortress remained, three of which had suffered fatal damage.

Kuang Fa (Mad Mage) ducked to avoid the flying wood chips.

"What are the two paths?" Because the attack of the ballista catapults was too fierce, and there was the sound of bombardments everywhere, Kuang Fa (Mad Mage) could only shout loudly.

"The first is to abandon Edgeton Fortress. Everyone returns to Moonlit City and makes plans for the future. As long as we have the green hills, we don't have to worry about running out of firewood." Sheng Yan (Holy Flame) said loudly.

"Impossible, I will never give up Edgeton Fortress!" Kuang Fa (Mad Mage) said firmly. Once Edgeton Fortress was destroyed, the foundation of the Mage Alliance in Moonlit City would be destroyed. The guild would be downgraded by two levels and become stray dogs. He didn't know how many players would choose to leave the Mage Alliance. At that time, whether the Mage Alliance could be preserved would be a question. Maybe Cao Xu would force them to join the Sacred Guardianship and take advantage of them. He would never want to raise his head again.

Sheng Yan (Holy Flame) was not surprised at all that Kuang Fa (Mad Mage) chose this answer.

"What's the second option?" Kuang Fa (Mad Mage) asked after a moment of silence.

"Call everyone and fight the Niuren Tribe (Bull Tribe) to the death. It's better than being beaten in Edgeton Fortress!" Sheng Yan (Holy Flame) said. This was their only choice.

Many Mage Alliance players had had enough of being beaten all the time, and the Mage Alliance's group chat had long been in an uproar.

"Damn it, are we going to fight or not? I'm going to be bombarded with artillery shells here all the time. If we don't fight, I'm leaving the guild!"

Several players left the Mage Alliance.

"Damn it! I'm going to write down the names of all those who quit the guild. Don't blame me, Kuang Fa (Mad Mage), for turning against you and not recognizing you!" Kuang Fa (Mad Mage) cursed in the guild group chat.

The chaos in the guild group chat was temporarily suppressed. Kuang Fa (Mad Mage) understood that these were all temporary. There was nothing he could do. He gritted his teeth and decided to risk it!

"Everyone in the Mage Alliance, listen to me. Now is the critical moment for the Mage Alliance's survival. If we win, I will make up for all the losses of everyone. If you get a kill, you will be rewarded with one hundred gold coins. I, Kuang Fa (Mad Mage), will never break my promise! If anyone screws up at this time, I won't be polite when I settle the score later. Everyone in the Mage Alliance, listen to my command and prepare to rush out!" Kuang Fa (Mad Mage) said in a deep voice. He learned this trick from Nie Yan. There must be brave men under a great reward. If he didn't invest heavily at this time, the Mage Alliance would not be able to keep it. Although he knew that even if he won, he would be penniless, he still bit the bullet and took the lead.

Kuang Fa (Mad Mage) had a deep prestige in the Mage Alliance. With a word, the entire Mage Alliance quickly started operating.

Sheng Yan (Holy Flame) also issued an order to the players of Sacred Guardianship to fully cooperate with the Mage Alliance. Once the Mage Alliance fell, Sacred Guardianship would not be spared. Naturally, they had to do their best.

The six ballista catapults of the Niuren Tribe (Bull Tribe) continued to throw boulders into the air. These boulders fell from the sky and smashed into various places. Some fell into Edgeton Fortress, some fell on the open space in front of Edgeton Fortress, and some were more accurate, hitting the city wall of Edgeton Fortress, causing screams.

At the beginning, the players who operated the ballista catapults were very clumsy and often missed. Later, they got much better. Even if they missed, they could still bombard the approximate location. After a round of shelling, Edgeton Fortress was in a mess.

The power of the ballista catapults made the Niuren Tribe (Bull Tribe) players speechless. Edgeton Fortress groaned in tremors under the bombardment.

The Mage Alliance's casualties had exceeded six thousand, while the Niuren Tribe (Bull Tribe) had not lost a single one.

Having a ballista catapult was indeed very refreshing. You could hit others, but others couldn't hit you.

At this time, the Mage Alliance players who had received the news from Kuang Fa (Mad Mage) from all directions were gathering towards Edgeton Fortress, and an army of 700,000 was surging in.

Cui Can Dao Guang (Brilliant Saber Light), Shui Se Yan Tou (Smoky Water) and others quickly received the news.

Cui Can Dao Guang (Brilliant Saber Light) immediately sent a message to the leadership, telling the players below to be ready to fight at any time!

This army of 300,000 was also a mixed force, with players from various guilds, including the Holy Roman Empire, Holy Light Flame, Garand Temple, War God Tribe, Mad Battle Alliance, and some troops from the five branches of the Niuren Tribe (Bull Tribe). The fighting power of the Niuren Tribe (Bull Tribe) was naturally beyond question, but the troops of these guilds were much inferior.

The enemy had a total of 700,000 troops, more than twice their number!

This would be an extremely difficult battle. Once a firefight occurred, the Niuren Tribe (Bull Tribe) could rely on the Frost Ironclad Catapults in their hands.

The people in the leadership included Ban Xing De Hu Li (Half-Awake Fox), Ye Po Shen Gun (Night Breaks God Stick), Fa Lan (Magic Blue), etc. They were very good at commanding the guild, and their fighting power was not bad.

On the surrounding mountains, countless people from the Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardianship appeared. Shouts of killing could be heard everywhere. The gates of Edgeton Fortress were also opened little by little, and Kuang Fa (Mad Mage) and Sheng Yan (Holy Flame) led tens of thousands of troops surging towards the Niuren Tribe (Bull Tribe).

"Everyone, charge! Kill all the Niuren Tribe (Bull Tribe)!" Kuang Fa (Mad Mage) shouted madly with red eyes.

Finally, they couldn't hold back and were about to start a counterattack. Cui Can Dao Guang (Brilliant Saber Light) smiled slightly. They had been waiting for this for a long time. Come on, Mage Alliance, let's fight to the death!

"The Mage Alliance is here, everyone, don't be nervous, Frost Ironclad Catapults, prepare!" Cui Can Dao Guang (Brilliant Saber Light) commanded calmly, with the demeanor of a great general. Qi Shi De Wan Ge (Knight's Elegy), Shui Se Yan Tou (Smoky Water) and others were each responsible for an area, and the entire Niuren Tribe (Bull Tribe) quickly started operating.

All thirty-seven Frost Ironclad Catapults were loaded with ammunition and ready to attack at any time.

"Steady, steady, wait for them to get closer!" Shui Se Yan Tou (Smoky Water) ordered the players near the Frost Ironclad Catapults.
