"Guild Leader, are you really planning to do this?" Flame Blood asked, confused. {? [
As a strategic town, Stone Forest Town was very close to the Stoneclaw Mountains. However, it was very far from the other NPC teleportation towns. It would be impossible for Stone Forest Town to provide reinforcements in time. On the other hand, Stone Forest Town could use Guild Transfer Scrolls to teleport to Stone Forest Town immediately.
Stone Forest Town was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Although Stone Forest Town's protection period had already ended, players could still spend money to recruit NPC guards. However, these NPC guards had to be 10 to 15 levels higher than players.
As one of the Ling YI Society's strategic towns, the Ling YI Society had recruited a total of 500 Level 50-plus, Tier 1 NPC guards after the town's protection period ended. In addition, there were many player guards stationed in the town. Moreover, the town was equipped with the Basic Mana Pulse Cannons, which had been used during the war against the Star Alliance's army.
The cannons' destructive power and AOE were truly indescribable. Even now, when they watched the video of the battle from back then, fear still lingered in their hearts.
It would not be easy to take down the town. It was very likely that they would have to sacrifice a ton of players to take down the town.
The others also turned to look at Singular Burial, astonishment appearing on their faces.
They had considered taking down Stone Forest Town before. However, it was too early to do so now. Now that the era of Mounts had begun, they needed to wait at the very least.
"I understand your concerns, but I've already considered them. Since we're taking action, I naturally have a certain degree of confidence," Singular Burial said, chuckling. "However, I'll have to ask Ling Ming for help."
Immediately, everyone turned to Ling Jingxuan, who sat beside Singular Burial, their gazes filled with questions.
"According to the information I've received, the Ling YI Society has been in contact with many large corporations recently. They want these corporations to invest in them. In addition, the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion has also begun to take action. They are currently suppressing the Ling Yi Branch in Lake Heart City. The Ling YI Society has sent many of its members over. As a result, the number of Ling Yi members stationed in Stone Forest Town has decreased significantly."
"However, the most important point is that the Ling YI Society is about to take action in White River City. They have even sent their strongest army, the Dark Gods Legion, back to White River City. As long as the Ling YI Society begins to encircle and annihilate the Dark Guilds' forces, the Dark Guilds will think of ways to delay Ling Yi's main force. Our two sides can then take advantage of this opportunity to attack Stone Forest Town."
Ling Jingxuan's explanation made everyone's eyes light up.
If the Ling YI Society had truly defended Stone Forest Town to the death, it would have been impossible for them to capture the town. However, the members of the Ling YI Society were currently scattered all over the town. With their strength, they could easily capture Stone Forest Town.
"I have a question!" Daybreak Fog suddenly said. "If the Ling YI Society's members use their Guild Transfer Scrolls, they can easily gather their forces. Even if we gather our forces and attack Stone Forest Town, we won't be faster than Ling Yi."
Ling Jingxuan seemed to have expected someone to say this. Immediately, she took out over a dozen shabby Magic Scrolls from her bag and showed them to everyone.
"This is …"
Everyone was confused as they looked at the Magic Scrolls' introductions. Suddenly, their jaws dropped. They could not believe what they were seeing.
A sealing magic array!
It could seal off an area for a period of time, preventing players within the area from teleporting out. At the same time, it also prevented players from teleporting in. It was practically a godly weapon for sieges!
If the Ling YI Society could not teleport players into Stone Forest Town, with the small number of players in Stone Forest Town, they could easily capture the town.
As long as Stone Forest Town fell, the Ling YI Society's main source of income would also be gone. Meanwhile, they could obtain a large amount of wealth from occupying Stone Forest Town. It was only a matter of time before the Ling YI Society was annihilated.
"I'll leave the sealing magic array to you. I hope you can finish it as soon as possible. If there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave," Ling Jingxuan said. She then left the meeting room under everyone's gazes.
"Fog, go and make the necessary preparations. I've already arranged for the Advanced Lifestyle players to construct the sealing magic array. Your task is to protect them as they complete the construction. Do not let anyone sabotage it!" Singular Burial said sternly.
"Guild Leader, rest assured!" everyone replied excitedly.
While it was true that the sealing magic array was very powerful, it also had a major flaw. It required players to construct the magic array's core at various points of the map. Moreover, due to the fluctuations in Mana, it was very easy for the surrounding monsters to become restless and attack the core. Hence, they needed to send teams to protect the core. This was also why Singular Burial had summoned them back.
If they wanted to seal off a map as large as Stone Forest Town, they needed to construct at least 14 magic array cores. In other words, they needed to guard 14 locations. If they moved too many people, they could easily attract the Ling YI Society's attention. Hence, sending a team of experts was the most suitable choice. When the time came, they only needed to send a large number of elite players to take over Stone Forest Town's defense.
…
Meanwhile, in Ling Yi's Residence in White River City, after Shifeng recalled the Dark Gods Legion, he had Fire Dance and the others organize the Guild's experts and elites. They then officially announced a crusade against all Dark Guilds in Starmoon Kingdom that had made an enemy of the Ling YI Society!
Immediately, the announcement attracted the attention of every player in Starmoon Kingdom. In just a few minutes, the declaration of war had reached the top of the list.
"Insane! They've really gone insane!"
"The Ling YI Society is too awesome! They actually dared to publicly declare war against all Dark Guilds in Starmoon Kingdom! With the tempers of Dark Guilds, they'll definitely fight to the death!"
"All hail Ling Yi!"
Ordinary players only felt that the Ling YI Society was too awesome. Not only had they declared war against Blackwater and Heaven's Burial, but they had also declared war against the Dark Guilds that everyone avoided. Only a madman would do something like this.
The various large Guilds were even more shocked by the Ling YI Society's declaration of war.
Ordinary players might not know what kind of Dark Guilds were, but these large Guilds knew very well. Although Dark Guilds only had a small number of members, they were more difficult to deal with than sticky candy. Even encircling and annihilating Dark Guilds was a common occurrence for these Dark Guilds. Even if they died, the Dark Guilds would not compensate their Guild members in any way. They could only blame themselves for being useless.
In terms of survivability, Dark Guild players were far superior to regular Guilds. Most importantly, Dark Guilds did not have Guild Residences like regular Guilds did. Dark Guilds were basically independent players with no fixed abode. A bar could be used as a Guild Residence, and players could freely move between Dark Guild towns. Hence, it was very difficult to target Dark Guilds.
As for the consumption rate, the members of regular Guilds could not compare to Dark Guilds. These Dark Guilds' members could level up by killing other players, but regular Guilds' members could not do the same. Over time, they would slowly die from exhaustion. Hence, the various large Guilds did not wish to provoke Dark Guilds, turning a blind eye to their actions.
Logically, Ling Yi should have targeted Blackwater and Heaven's Burial instead of the hired Dark Guilds. After all, the Dark Guilds were only hired to deal with the Dark Guilds. They should have dealt with the Dark Guilds normally. If the Ling Yi Society had provoked so many Dark Guilds, it would not have been a good thing for the Guild.
Yet, the Ling YI Society had ignored Blackwater and Sky Burial Society and focused on dealing with the Dark Guilds. It was a foolish decision to not differentiate between priority and priority.
