"What do we do now that they've gone back?" Sword Emperor's Shifu asked.
Sword Emperor, Shifu, and Jue Wushen were official members of Guild Wind and Cloud. Sword Emperor panicked when he received the notification that the battle had begun.
Shifu and Sword Emperor's mission was to keep Quanzhen's forces in Thorn City, preventing them from returning to defend the encampment. Now that Quanzhen's forces had entered the battlefield, and the last member had run away, this was a dereliction of duty. They might be scolded when they returned, but their salaries might be docked.
Shifu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back and help."
There were quite a number of Guild Wind and Cloud members in Thorn City, and they would be a great help if they returned to attack the encampment. Since Quanzhen's forces had run away, there was no point in staying here. It was better to wait for the higher-ups to blame them.
"Alright."
Sword Emperor agreed with Shifu's words and immediately ordered his guild members to return and help.
"Haha, 126 points, what a haul!"
"Damn, we've been fighting for so long, but we can't even get a single skill from you." Famous Sword Path Snow and Beiming Youyu said sourly.
No matter how good an Assassin was, he could only fight one person at a time. Mages were still the best. They could kill a whole group with a single skill. They were the most efficient at farming monsters and points.
"Eh? What's that?"
Just as Mingdu was bragging about how many points he had earned, Yang Na suddenly pointed at the opposite side of the Arrow Tower.
Everyone looked in the direction that Yang Na was pointing and saw a huge triangular wooden frame in the camp of Wind and Cloud Guild. Behind the frame was a ladle-like object. Four players from Wind and Cloud Guild were surrounding the frame and moving a huge rock into the ladle.
Wuji's expression darkened when he saw this.
"It's a catapult!"
Catapults were the best siege weapons in the cold weapon era. How could Wuji not recognize them?
"There's such a thing in a catapult game?" The others were shocked when they heard this.
Although cold weapons had faded from people's sight, they had heard about them on television and in books. However, this was the first time they had seen a real catapult.
"Yes." Wuji said, "This thing is classified as a weapon. Advanced Weaponsmiths can create it as long as they have the blueprint."
The background of his rebirth was an era of cold weapons. Catapults were similar to crossbows, so it wasn't strange for them to exist. What was strange was that Wind and Cloud Guild was able to find such a thing.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Wind and Cloud Guild was backed by Xiaobing's workshop. Workshops had always been the source of all sorts of rare equipment and skills in the game. Only such a large workshop could create something like this.
While everyone was talking, the catapult had already been loaded. At the command of the Lie Huo Warlord, the catapult was launched, and a huge rock fell from the sky.
Yin Lao Er couldn't dodge in time, so he could only raise his shield to block the attack. However, in the face of such an attack, Yin Lao Er was overestimating himself.
With a loud boom, the cannonball fell. Bao San, Yin Lao Er, and Chun Xiang's six demons were smashed into white light. They were teleported to the revival point to wait for revival.
Only Mingjian Daoxue and Beiming Youyu, who were hiding behind the mountain wall, managed to escape. However, the two of them were quite frightened by the formidable fellow.
What made Yin Lao Er want to cry was that the cannonball had emptied his shield and turned it into a useless item.
Chun Xiang, who was standing on the wall, felt his heart ache so much that his mouth twitched.
These six demons were leveled up to level 25 by Chun Xiang. It should be known that leveling up required a share of the master's experience. Otherwise, with Chun Xiang's leveling efficiency, he would have reached the top of the leaderboards long ago.
Chun Xiang had put in a lot of effort to train these six demons from level 1 to level 25. However, they were wiped out in an instant.
If this was in real life, the catapult's cannonball would have definitely blocked the entrance. However, the huge rock was a consumable, and like the arrow, it disappeared as soon as it hit the ground.
After Yin Lao Er and the demons were killed, the frontline players from Wind and Cloud Guild charged forward.
Just like before, the gorge only allowed four people to pass through. However, without the frontline blocking the way, just Spring Soar's two crowd control players and Bright City's Yang Na's damage output wouldn't be able to stop the wave upon wave of players.
Not long after, a gap appeared in the three-man blockade. Mingjian Daoxue, Youyu Beiming, and To Place One's Pride fought back bitterly. However, there were too many tanks at the frontline, and their classes countered them. No matter how skilled or well-equipped they were, they could not last more than a few rounds before they were smashed into white light.
Seeing that the players from Wind and Cloud Guild were about to reach the entrance, Yin Lao Er rushed out of the entrance with a sword and shield in one hand and Bao San's Whirlwind in the other.
Chun Xiang summoned the demons again to form a formation with the two of them. He wanted to forcefully seal the entrance, but the second cannonball landed.
Bang!
White light flashed, and the area behind the entrance was cleared again.
Not only Yin Lao Er and Bao San, even the players from Wind and Cloud Guild were crushed to death.
Such a ferocious scene stunned both sides.
"F * ck, this thing attacks indiscriminately!" Lie Huo Warlord said with his mouth agape.
This was the first time Wind and Cloud Guild had used a catapult since it was created.
Wind and Cloud Guild gave an order, "Don't just stand there, their line of defense has been breached. Charge!"
"Yeah, that's what I was thinking too!" Lie Huo Warlord added, and received a bunch of eye rolls.
The players from Wind and Cloud Guild received the order and charged forward again.
From this, one could see the benefits of having more people.
Although the entrance could only allow four people to pass through, Wind and Cloud Guild had enough players. It was not a big loss to lose four people at once. Quanzhen only had 12 people. No matter how strong they were, they could not afford to lose so many people. Even if only five people died, they would lose more than half of their strength. With this, they would not have enough backup.
Wuji sighed, "F * ck, it's only been four minutes. I didn't think they would be breached so easily."
Twelve people fighting close to 500 people, even if no one died, their supplies would not be able to keep up. Wuji did not expect to last 60 minutes. Of course, if the other side did not have a catapult, they could hold on until Blood Alliance came to support them. However, the appearance of the catapult completely turned the situation around.
The others were also disheartened. The terrain advantage of the gate of the encampment was the biggest advantage of the Quan Zhen Sect's encampment. Once it was breached, it would mean defeat. Without any obstacles, how could a dozen people fight against a hundred people?
"Go back and protect!"
Just as Wuji was about to give the order to abandon the entrance and protect the crystal, a system notification raised Wuji's confidence.
