Shifeng's expression darkened when he heard Shiuse Qiangwei's report.
"Guild Transfer Scrolls can't be used?" Shifeng could not help but wonder. "Did they use a sealing magic array?"
In the past, the various large Guilds had often used sealing magic arrays to siege cities.
However, sealing magic arrays were extremely rare. Normally, players would only have a chance to obtain one in Level 60-plus secret locations. With the current strength of the various large Guilds, it should be impossible for them to obtain one.
"Guild Leader, why don't I lead some experts to organize the situation? You can lead the Guild army to reinforce the town. With Stone Forest Town's defensive advantage, we should be able to hold out until the Guild army arrives," Shiuse Qiangwei suggested.
Blackwater and Pantheon's attack had been too sudden. Although they had prepared for this, they had never imagined that Blackwater would pull such a move.
Without the advantage of a teleportation array, organizing the Guild army would take a considerable amount of time. By the time the Guild army arrived, the siege would've long since begun. However, only a few of Stone Forest Town's upper echelons remained in the town. Nobody was capable of commanding a Guild war of this scale. If the Guild's command was poor, Stone Forest Town could easily fall.
Hence, they needed someone to take charge of the situation.
"Alright. Lead the members with Mounts and head over to command the defensive fortifications. However, be careful of Blackwater's ambushes. Since they've sealed off the map, they must've thought of a way to stop us from getting past them," Shifeng said, nodding.
Currently, Mounts were extremely rare in God's Domain. Even in Super Guilds, only a few experts possessed them.
Shiuse Qiangwei and the others only needed to break through the defensive line and circle around the town. Without a Mount, players would have no chance of catching up to them.
Moreover, Shiuse Qiangwei had obtained a Secret-Silver ranked Flaming Horse from a Fortuitous Quest. With the speed of a Secret-Silver Mount, not even Super Guilds' members could catch up to them. After all, Secret-Silver Mounts were simply too rare.
After the discussion, Shifeng immediately entered Candlelight's Basic Meditation Room. He then activated God's Blessing and began crafting Magic Scrolls. Meanwhile, A Melancholy Smile had already prepared the necessary materials.
Traveling from the nearest teleportation town to Stone Forest Town on foot would take at least ten hours. Moreover, running would take at least ten hours. Even if they arrived at Stone Forest Town, they would need to rest for a while before resuming the battle. Otherwise, if they sent their exhausted army to raid the town, they would collapse in a single blow.
On the other hand, Shi Feng would be able to rush to Stone Forest Town much faster.
The sealing magic array interfered with the local Mana fluctuations, causing the teleportation array's Mana fluctuations to malfunction, preventing teleportation. However, Shi Feng had the Seven Luminaries Ring. Unlike teleportation, Space Movement was not affected by the change in Mana fluctuations. Hence, he could teleport from the nearest town to Stone Forest Town. In terms of Movement Speed, not even a Dark-Gold Mount could keep up with him.
This meant that he now had more than ten hours to prepare for battle.
His priority right now was to craft Magic Scrolls. Everything else had to be set aside. As for organizing an army to reinforce Stone Forest Town, he had no intention of doing so.
In terms of direct combat strength, even if the Ling YI Society was ten times stronger, it was still no match for Blackwater. After all, Blackwater could control the one-horned humanoid monsters. No matter how many players charged at the Guild, they would only be throwing their lives away. Moreover, how could the Guild compare to Pantheon in terms of experts?
Right now, the only thing he could rely on was Magic Scrolls and Stone Forest Town's defenses.
Shortly after Blackwater sealed off the Stoneclaw Mountains, many players smelled the scent of gunpowder in the air.
When Blackwater and the Sky Burial Society's elite armies swarmed into the nearest teleportation town, the various large Guilds in the Starmoon Kingdom realized that Blackwater intended to capture Stone Forest Town.
Meanwhile, the Starmoon Kingdom's official forums exploded with activity.
"What? They're going to start fighting?"
"I wonder who will emerge victorious?"
"Is there even a need to ask? Blackwater will definitely win. You didn't see how many players are gathered there. Moreover, I've heard that even Pantheon has gotten involved."
"How could Stone Forest Town be so easy to capture? Don't forget that the Ling YI Society has recruited a lot of NPC soldiers from Stone Forest Town. In addition, the Guild members have hired ordinary guards and constructed Defense Turrets. Even if Blackwater has the advantage of numbers, capturing Stone Forest Town will be extremely difficult. Moreover, the Ling YI Society has the geographical advantage. Their members can revive in Stone Forest Town immediately after they die. On the other hand, Blackwater's members will have to wait over ten hours before they can return to the battlefield."
"You're right."
For a time, the Starmoon Kingdom's official forums became a hub for players to discuss this war. Many players rushed to Stone Forest Town after receiving news of the war, eager to witness it with their own eyes.
In reality, players weren't the only ones interested in watching the war. Every Guild in the Starmoon Kingdom paid close attention to this matter.
After all was said and done, this was the Starmoon Kingdom's first siege. In addition, the significance of this battle was extraordinary.
If the Ling YI Society failed to defend Stone Forest Town, it would lose its golden mine. In the future, the Ling YI Society would most likely fall to second-rate status. Blackwater might even slowly nibble away at its influence. In the end, the Ling YI Society would be removed from Starmoon Kingdom. On the other hand, if the Ling YI Society could defend against Blackwater's offensive, after this war, the Ling YI Society's influence in the Starmoon Kingdom would reach new heights. For a short time, the Ling YI Society would rise to a whole new level.
Previously, many players in the Starmoon Kingdom believed that with the Blackwater Consortium's support, Blackwater had great potential and would become the ruler of the Starmoon Kingdom in the future. Hence, many players and companies had been observing the situation. If the Ling YI Society defended Stone Forest Town, Blackwater wouldn't be able to organize any effective offensive in the short term. For a relatively long time, the Ling YI Society would remain the overlord of the Starmoon Kingdom.
Meanwhile, in a second-floor private room of a high-class bar in Saimu Town, the town closest to Stone Forest Town …
"Pantheon has really gone mad this time. Not only did they send their core legion to deal with the Ling YI Society, but they even sent one of their four trump card legions, the Red Jade Legion. It seems that the Ling YI Society has provoked Pantheon quite a bit last time." Yuan Tiexin was astonished as he watched the 1,000-man legion walk through the street outside the window.
Every member of the 1,000-man legion was Level 40 or above. Every one of them wore exquisite white robes with a crimson eagle embroidered on them. This crimson eagle was the symbol of the Red Rain Legion.
In addition to their uniform and high levels, the independent players on the street who had come to watch the show were shocked.
Pantheon had many core legions. However, the most famous of these core legions were the four trump card legions.
Many of the members of these four trump card legions were experts that Pantheon had nurtured internally. If outsiders wanted to join these legions, they would have to go through a series of selections. Normally, these trump card legions were used to deal with Super Guilds or super-first-rate Guilds of the same level. Even now, Pantheon had never used these trump card legions against other Guilds.
