Of course, the Sector Star Monsters outside the city couldn't just surround the city and not attack. They had received orders from the church to defend Willings City, but they couldn't even make it in time. Willings City had already been lost, so of course they had to take the initiative to fight back. So as soon as they surrounded the city, they couldn't wait to attack.
The situation inside the city was really chaotic. The players didn't have a fixed organization, and they were basically members of various guilds. Now, they didn't know what was going on, and even their leader didn't know what was going on. But now, the troops outside the city had already started attacking. What should they do? They couldn't just take a beating for nothing, so no matter what, they had to attack first.
Thus, the siege war broke out. In fact, both sides weren't prepared for this battle. The church's troops didn't expect to participate in a siege battle. They thought that they would be able to arrive in time, so they just defended the city. In the end, they didn't bring any siege weapons at all. Of course, the players didn't expect the enemy's troops to arrive so quickly. They weren't prepared, especially a few parts of the city wall that had been bombarded by the spaceships just now. They were on the verge of collapse. They didn't collapse, but they were in danger.
Of course, the church's troops could see the situation of these walls, so they focused on attacking them. So after the battle broke out, the attacks on these walls were very fierce. On the players' side, the long-range troops were all shooting from the walls, while the melee troops were all blocking the walls. Not to mention relying on the terrain advantage, the defense really achieved a good result.
Although the Sechtor monsters' individual combat ability was very strong, and they had the advantage in numbers, there weren't many Sechtor monsters that could enter the city. Most of the players were stuck at the back, unable to enter. This small advantage in numbers made the players feel that they could still fight.
On the other hand, the Sechtor monsters' long-range troops and the players' long-range troops on the wall also started the process of shooting. Although the Sechtor monsters had high long-range attack power and high health, the players still had the terrain advantage, so they didn't seem to be at a disadvantage.
Most importantly, the players' supply line was very short. Now that the players were bound to the new stronghold's resurrection point, they could respawn directly in the city. If they died in the frontline, they could respawn in the city. In that case, they could just respawn at the top of the stronghold.
As the battle began, many players suddenly felt that their side still had an advantage. They really had a chance to fight. What they didn't consider was how many troops the enemy had. Yes, because of the environment, they could only see the circle of troops near the city wall. They had no idea how many people were behind them. If they knew that there were so many people behind them, they would probably lose confidence. But no one could see them now, and no one knew the exact number of the enemy's troops. Seeing that they had the upper hand in the battle, everyone felt that they could defend this stronghold. It was just this bit of hope that made the players in the United States start to send it forward wave after wave.
On the other side, the guild leaders still had no idea what was going on with their fleet. The NPCs that had landed on the island had tried to contact their fleet for a long time, but they couldn't. Logically speaking, if their fleet was attacked and retreated, shouldn't the remaining enemy forces attack them? But there was no attack from the sea, so what was going on? They didn't quite understand.
And just when they could not receive any useful information, news came from the frontline at this time, saying that their frontline could hold on, the enemy troops could not break into the city, and both sides were now in a battle of attrition.
Hearing this news, of course, all the chairmen were a little happy. It was of course great that they could hold on now. And the so-called attrition was the players using their own experience in exchange for the enemy's life. After all, players would not die. If they died, they would only lose 10% of their experience. But of course, the NPCs would not resurrect after they died. So who would gain more from this attrition? Of course, it was them.
Now that the resurrection point was so close, and the players could engage in attrition with the NPCs, of course, they would gain. Since there was no news from the fleet here, and the other side could hold on, then why should they consider the problem of retreat? After all, this was the first stronghold they had taken. If they could defend it, of course, they would be willing to defend it.
So, several chairmen also changed their attitudes. For the time being, they would not care about the fleet. The chairmen would unite to defend this stronghold first.
So, several chairmen of large guilds who were usually unknown and used to seeing the situation now temporarily joined forces and began to organize troops to resist. Due to the command system, the situation suddenly stabilized a lot. From the original chaotic resistance to a conscious defensive battle, this improvement was very huge. Even the Sektor Star monsters' troops could not fight back for a while.
However, the Sector Star Monster's troops weren't randomly attacking without orders. It was just a battle of attrition, so of course, they didn't have much of a reaction. So what if it was a battle of attrition? But seeing that the situation wasn't right, the two Army Commanders immediately gave the order to withdraw their troops and come back to adjust.
After the first round of attrition, both sides suffered losses. Of course, the Sektor Star monsters' losses were in numbers, while the players' losses were in levels and experience. This loss was acceptable for both sides. On the Sektor Star monsters' side, the reason they came back to recuperate was because they felt that such a strong attack would not be able to take down the stronghold. It was better to take it slow. So, they began to station troops to surround the stronghold. They began to deploy siege weapons to the rear or nearby cities.
The players' side defended the first wave, and everyone's morale was high. They felt that this group of Sektor Star monsters did not seem to be that great. Although they seemed to have a lot of people, after all, they were relying on the stronghold to defend, so it should not be a problem for them to defend. However, it seemed that this group of Sektor Star monsters did not intend to retreat. They should be preparing for the second wave of attack. The chairmen also realized this, so they quickly ordered the players to quickly repair the city gates and walls, prepare defensive supplies, and prepare for the second battle.
In the next few days, both sides spent their time at war. That's right, the first was the Sektor Star monsters. When the siege weapons arrived, they immediately launched another attack on the stronghold. Although the players had strengthened their defense and fortified the walls, with the support of the siege weapons, they still could not withstand so many Sektor Star monsters.
Seeing that the stronghold here was about to fall, and the players might all be beaten back to their hometown, reinforcements arrived. That's right, the reinforcements came from the sea. The American continent's fleet was under attack and had no choice but to retreat. So, of course, they retreated and reported the current situation. They heard that they had already taken down the first stronghold, but now that it was under attack, they needed reinforcements. The American NPC troops were also ready, so of course, they would be sent forward.
The NPC reinforcements arrived slightly later. This was because the fleet was more careful this time, afraid of encountering the fleet that had ambushed them last time. They had also prepared a large number of lighting equipment to defend against an ambush, but they did not encounter any. They safely arrived at the Dark Continent, but as soon as they arrived, they saw that their new stronghold was under attack, and the players could not hold on any longer. The reinforcements on the ship quickly came to help.
With the help of the reinforcements, they repelled the Sektor Star monsters' attack. Both sides suffered losses, but neither was fatal. So, another round of confrontation occurred. Seeing that the situation was not right, the church hurriedly looked for reinforcements. The established American continent's NPCs also looked for reinforcements, constantly sending troops by sea to replenish their supplies. In short, both sides continued to attack and defend on this Willings City, fighting until the sky was dark.
Even though they managed to defend against the Boss without any mishaps, the gamers couldn't feel happy about it. Because they came to the Dark Continent to snatch money, experience, and equipment. But what did they get? From the start, they were stuck in this stronghold, unable to get out. Not only did they not get any experience or equipment, but they also died and lost a lot of equipment.
After fighting for a few days, the players came back to their senses. Was there any use in defending this stronghold? They heard that the troops in the Hua Xia region continued to fight for territory and money, while the players were stuck here, unable to get out. Wasn't the difference too great?
Of course, at this time, they didn't have time to think too much. They were too busy with the war. Besides, defending this stronghold had consumed so much manpower and resources. Were they going to give up now? Wouldn't all their previous efforts be in vain? To put it simply, they were really dragged to death here. Even if they understood this mess, it was impossible to get rid of it. They now hoped to quickly exhaust the Sektor Star monsters at the door. Then, the clouds would disperse and they would see the blue sky.
Everyone thought so, but as the war of attrition continued, they received news that they simply could not accept. The troops of the Hua Xia region had begun to attack Hildears City. At the same time, they also received another piece of news. The troops that were fighting with them now were the church's main force, which was the troops of Hildears City.
In other words, they helped the Hua Xia region to attack the troops of Hildears City, and the Hua Xia region had now reaped the benefits. How could they accept this fact?
