Like an ocean, the Evil Beast army surrounded Stone Forest Town.
At a glance, aside from monsters, there were more monsters.
Meanwhile, the Sky Burial Society's hidden members in Stone Forest Town had uploaded the battle to the official forums, allowing every player in the Starmoon Kingdom to view it.
"Aren't there too many monsters? This is the first time I've seen so many powerful monsters. Can the Ling YI Society really defend Stone Forest Town with so few members?"
"Zero Wing should've given up on putting up a show. After all, these monsters are simply too powerful in terms of both levels and strength. The current Guild Towns have no hope of stopping them. Only, the people who have applied for membership to Stone Forest Town's Battle Arena and private houses are doomed."
"How can the Ling YI Society possibly give up on such a large town without putting up a fight? How do they know that they can't? If they give up so quickly, who would dare to set up a town in the future? "
"You're right. In any case, I definitely won't be buying a private house in Ling YI Society's town. There's no guarantee!"
…
The players watching the battle were shocked by the majestic sight of the Evil Beast army. At the same time, they began to criticize the Ling YI Society's decision to give up. They ridiculed the Ling YI Society, the number one Guild in Starmoon Kingdom, for not even having the courage to face the monster army. What was the point of being strong?
This situation made the players who had wanted to join the Ling YI Society hesitate.
Some of the Ling YI Society's members even began to withdraw from the Guild.
"Trying to reduce your losses by giving up on Stone Forest Town? Do you think it's that easy?" Singular Burial sneered as he looked at the official forums. "I want to see just how long you can endure."
The Ling YI Society's decisive decision had indeed caught him off guard. However, by uploading the battle's livestream to the official forums, the Ling YI Society had no choice but to face a choice.
Either preserve the Guild's strength and give up on Stone Forest Town, or defend the town with all its strength and suffer a huge loss.
The former was a good choice, but the reputation that the Ling YI Society had worked so hard to accumulate would be gone. It was unlikely that they would be able to develop in the future.
If Ling YI Society wanted to continue to develop, they had to defend the city with all their might!
He also did not need the Ling YI Society to send all of its members to Stone Forest Town. He only needed the Ling YI Society to transfer a portion of its members to Stone Forest Town. At that time, not only would the Ling YI Society lose Stone Forest Town, but it would also lose the Stable. At that time, the Ling YI Society would no longer be the number one Guild in Starmoon Kingdom.
Then, the Sky Burial Society could replace them and become the new ruler of the Starmoon Kingdom.
Just as the players watching the video on the official website were discussing, the Evil Beast army suddenly launched an attack.
In the next moment, these Evil Beasts swarmed towards Stone Forest Town, causing the earth to tremble.
"How spectacular!"
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned by this wave-like attack.
At this moment, everyone had a deep understanding of what a human wave tactic was.
Against so many monsters, even with the town's Defense Turrets and Magic Towers, their attacks were only a drop in the bucket …
It was no wonder why the Ling YI Society had taken the initiative to give up. They had probably predicted this outcome.
"Huh? Look, the Ling YI Society seems to have taken out something?"
"Aren't those Miniature Ballistas?"
"It seems that the Ling YI Society has made some preparations."
"So what? The Defense Turrets and Magic Towers aren't enough. What can the Miniature Ballistas do?"
When these monsters were less than 3,000 yards away from Stone Forest Town, some of the spectating players suddenly noticed the Miniature Ballistas on the town's walls. They could not help but laugh.
Although the Miniature Ballistas were convenient for movement, their power was only average. Moreover, they did not have as large an AOE as the Defense Turrets. They might be useful against players, but against a large number of monsters with high HP, they were a joke.
However, some people did not finish their words.
The scene on the town's walls stunned everyone.
There were nearly 20 Miniature Ballistas on a single wall. Adding all four walls together, there were nearly 80 Miniature Ballistas …
"How is this possible? Those are Miniature Ballistas! "
Everyone was stupefied. Even the various large Guilds that had watched the battle through the livestream were shocked beyond belief.
Ordinary players might not understand the preciousness of war weapons, but the various major powers did. Although the Miniature Ballistas were not as powerful as the Gnome Cannons, they were not easy to obtain.
Even Super Guilds could not bring out nearly 80 Miniature Ballistas at once, yet Ling Yi had done so. It was simply unbelievable.
Before anyone could recover from their shock, the Miniature Ballistas were loaded with two-meter-long bolts. Crimson runes were carved into the bolts. It was obvious that the bolts weren't special bolts that could be purchased from NPC merchants.
Along with the sound of something tearing through the air, crimson flames shot out from all sides of Stone Forest Town to greet the Evil Beast army.
Boom … Boom … Boom …
Suddenly, towering flames erupted from the Evil Beast army, covering a 15-yard radius. These flames were not much weaker than the Defense Turrets' cannonballs.
Meanwhile, the Evil Beasts at the forefront of the Evil Beast army were forced back, suffering significant injuries. For example, the Elite ranked Evil Beasts lost more than one-third of their HP on the spot.
As soon as the first volley of arrows ended, the Defense Turrets and Magic Towers launched their own attacks. Spells and artillery shells bombarded the Evil Beast army, one after another. The Magic Towers' attacks, in particular, sent a beam of rainbow light towards the center of the Evil Beast army. The power of these attacks rivaled that of a Tier 4 large-scale destruction Spell. Practically all monsters below the Lord rank died upon contact with this attack.
Three streaks of rainbow light swept across the Evil Beast army, instantly killing over 8,000 Evil Beasts and emptying a large part of the Evil Beast army.
Due to the Miniature Ballistas' short Cooldown, another volley of arrows fell, repelling the Evil Beasts once more.
Under the barrage of arrows, the Elite Evil Beasts at the forefront were practically annihilated.
Meanwhile, before the Evil Beast army reached 2,500 yards from Stone Forest Town, it had already lost over 30,000 Evil Beasts. Stone Forest Town's frightening Defense stupefied every player.
"Too strong! So, this is Stone Forest Town's defense?"
"The Ling YI Society is too heaven-defying! They actually have so many Miniature Ballistas! If not for the monsters' numbers and strength, they would've died before they even reached Stone Forest Town's walls! "
The spectators were stunned. Their previous opinions of the Ling Yi Society also vanished.
"How is this possible? Why does the Ling YI Society have so many Miniature Ballistas? " Singular Burial clenched his fists as he watched the livestream. Stone Forest Town's consecutive attacks were for mopping up the Evil Beasts, not defending. Although Singular Burial was very surprised and confused, he quickly regained his composure. "Good! Very good! So, you still have such a powerful trump card. Unfortunately, the Evil Beast army you face this time is different. "
Although the large number of Miniature Ballistas had frightening Defense and had killed many Evil Beasts below Lord rank, as long as the monsters got close to the Miniature Ballistas, the battle would be over.
"Interesting! And here I thought Ling Yi had given up. Since that's the case, how are you going to deal with this move? "
Abandoned Wave, who stood at the rear of the Evil Beast army, sneered. He then waved his hand, and another large wave of Evil Beasts charged forward. Compared to the previous wave, there were far fewer Evil Beasts this time. However, the quality of the Evil Beasts was much higher. Most of the Evil Beasts were Chieftain rank or above. There were even Grand Lords among them.
Previously, due to the crowded positions, the Evil Beasts had been easy to hit. However, now that there were far fewer Evil Beasts and more space to dodge, the Miniature Ballistas would have a much harder time hitting them.
As the Chieftain rank and above Evil Beasts approached Stone Forest Town …
Meanwhile, two Mana Pulse Cannons had appeared atop Stone Forest Town's Magic Tower. They were clearly much larger than the Basic Mana Pulse Cannons. Moreover, there were two of them. These were none other than the Intermediate Mana Pulse Cannons the Shifeng had obtained from the Fallen Ark.
