Although they were both guild encampments, there was a fundamental difference between a system stronghold like Ironrock Castle and an encampment that players had conquered themselves.
As the Ironrock Fortress was a quest reward, it had a complete defense system. The walls of the Ironrock Fortress's Residence were already top-tier, and there was no room for improvement. Meanwhile, the defense system of an ordinary Guild's Residence required players to continuously level up to its standard.
Therefore, Fortress encampments were naturally much stronger than ordinary encampments. Of course, in order to compensate for the balance between the two types of encampments, the two types of encampments were also guarded differently.
For example, an ordinary Guild Residence had two defensive lines: the Guild Gate and the Guild Crystal. Only by breaking through these two defensive lines could the Residence be destroyed.
The Fortress Encampment was a famous Battle Fortress with many plots in the game's background. Naturally, it couldn't be destroyed. However, the Fortress Encampment's gate didn't have any durability.
In other words, as long as a player opened the door from within Ironrock Fortress, they could enter the fortress unscathed.
This was also why Thunder God had not left a single one of his subordinates behind. After all, a large Guild had close to 10,000 members. There were all sorts of birds in the sea, and there was a chance that someone might bribe them. It was safer to leave none of them behind.
Since the two major guilds had gone all out to capture the players in the forest, there were no obstacles on the main road. Quanzhen's team quickly arrived at the entrance of Ironrock Castle.
Apart from Wang Yu's trio who had been here before, everyone else couldn't help but sigh in amazement at the sight of this legendary battle fortress.
The Iron Rock Fortress was built between two mountains and towered into the clouds, blocking off the path to the Dark Faction. The Black Crystal Rock on the walls of the fortress shone with a sturdy light. Not to mention the players attacking this fortress, even strategic weapons like the Siege Chariots and Magic Crystal Cannons would not be able to touch this fortress.
Especially the height of the city walls, it was even more frightening.
The walls of an ordinary Basic Guild Residence were only two to three meters tall. Even if a Basic Guild Residence developed to the rank of a Main City, it would only be around ten to twenty meters tall. Meanwhile, when looking up from the bottom to the top of Ironrock Castle's walls, it was impossible to see the top of the castle due to the clouds. However, a conservative estimate would place the castle at least fifty meters tall. It was double the height of the largest Main City, Light City.
As expected of the legendary fortress that kept the Dark Army at the other side of the mountain. It lived up to its reputation.
"Well, Old Cow, is there a problem?" Seeing such a magnificent building, everyone's confidence in Wang Yu's ability to jump high was gone.
Wang Yu's previous highest record was thirty meters, and this wall was fifty meters away. As for how far away it was, due to the limited field of vision, no one knew. A Mage's Feather Fall could only fly up to a height of twenty-five meters. It was indeed difficult for a Grandmaster of Combat to jump up to that height.
"Let's give it a try!" Wang Yu rubbed his palms together and looked up.
If it was before he obtained Qinggong, Wang Yu would definitely have given up. Now that Wang Yu was equipped with Qinggong, not only did he have four stages of jumping, but he also had the ability to "leap onto roofs and vault over walls". As long as he had enough Qinggong points, reaching this height shouldn't be a problem.
"Don't force yourself. I remember there's still a secret passage. Although I don't know if we can enter it, we can give it a try." Mingdu said.
Wang Yu smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, that secret passage is the entrance to the Instance Dungeon … Those three BOSSes aren't easy to deal with. Their people are not far away. Rather than taking the risk, it's better to let me try first."
As he spoke, Wang Yu ran a few steps, pushed his staff against the ground, and leaped high. He stepped on the wall and rushed up. Bursting Fist, Flash, Wang Yu used a set of skills and instantly flew up to a height of thirty meters. Then Wang Yu clasped his hands on the wall and began to climb down …
Yes, it was climbing … Just like Spiderman. The concept of "leap onto roofs and vault over walls" was completely different from Wang Yu's "leap onto roofs and vault over walls". It should be called "climb onto roofs and vault over walls". It wasn't cool at all.
Although the posture was ugly, Wang Yu's climbing speed wasn't too slow. Soon, Wang Yu had climbed over a height of fifty meters. He passed through the clouds and saw the wall above the clouds.
"Damn, why is this broken wall so high!"
When Wang Yu saw the true height of Ironrock Castle, he couldn't help but curse. The wall below the clouds was only half the height. After passing through the clouds, there was still more than half the distance.
Fortunately, he didn't use Quadruple Jump. Otherwise, with this distance, even if he had Qinggong, he probably wouldn't be able to jump up.
Wang Yu crawled up the wall with all four limbs. When climbing, his Qinggong consumption was 4 times. Although Wang Yu's consumption was halved, his climbing speed couldn't be faster than his jumping speed. Soon, his Qinggong consumption was halved.
As Wang Yu climbed, he calculated the distance to the top of the wall. When his Qinggong was less than 300 points, Wang Yu jumped up again. Quadruple Jump, he jumped over twenty meters. He was still a few meters away from the top of the wall. At this time, Wang Yu's Qinggong had already reached zero.
Wang Yu looked down from midair. It was over a hundred meters high, and he didn't have any skills. If he fell, he would die …
Ironrock Castle's wall was very sturdy. Weapons couldn't penetrate it. Even if he wanted to climb up with his two swords, he wouldn't be able to. At this time, Wang Yu's body began to sink.
At this critical moment, Wang Yu took out the Flying Dragon Rope from his bag and threw it up. The rope flew straight up, flipped over the wall, and was firmly stuck. Wang Yu's body tensed, and he stopped falling. Then, Wang Yu grabbed the rope and climbed up the wall.
After climbing up the wall, Wang Yu secretly wiped the sweat off his forehead. Fortunately, his reaction was fast. Otherwise, he would have fallen to his death. Although the Flying Dragon Rope didn't have any attributes, it was so useful as a rope. It seemed like this toy needed to be reforged in case of emergencies.
At the same time, Wang Yu's message had exploded. It was from Wuji and the others.
"F * ck, you still haven't climbed up?"
"Can't you find the switch to open the gate?"
"Why aren't you saying anything?"
… …
After scrolling to the end of the message, Wang Yu replied in the noisy channel, "I just climbed up. This wall is at least 120 meters high …"
After Wang Yu sent this message, the Quanzhen channel instantly fell silent.
After a long time, Wuji replied, "You're not joking, right …"
One hundred and twenty meters … The distance on the ground could be covered in a dozen or so seconds. If they were to climb up, it would be as high as a forty-story building … This number was obviously too shocking. It would be very difficult to defend a fortified city with a forty-story building's walls.
But on the other hand, Ironrock Castle was the most sturdy stronghold in the game. It was the pinnacle of technology and magic. Its defense system could be said to be perfect. To defend a city on a 100-meter high wall, there should be a corresponding weapon system. Berserk Sky's luck was really …
"What kind of joke is this? I almost fell to my death!"
As Wang Yu replied, he opened the gate.
