Hearing Crimson Heart's words, Cleansed Rue's expression tensed.
In the Dark Night Empire, the war between the Hundred Flowers Palace and Starlink had only been minor skirmishes. Starlink had only sent a small portion of the Palace's forces to fight, yet the Palace was already in danger.
If Starlink decided to go all out, the Palace wouldn't have an easy time.
While Crimson Heart and Cleansed Rue arranged for their Guild members to stand on the town's walls and activate the town's defensive magic array, Starlink's members began to move into formation, opening up a small path for the town's players.
When Crimson Heart and Cleansed Rue saw one Large Ballista after another rolling out of the alleys, they couldn't help but stop what they were doing and freeze on the spot.
Aside from Crimson Heart and Cleansed Rue, every Hundred Flowers Palace member on the town's walls was stupefied.
After all, Starlink had sent over a hundred Large Ballistas to the market …
Although they hadn't personally witnessed the Large Ballistas' power, they could tell that their weapons weren't to be underestimated when they saw the massive iron bolts.
These iron bolts were engraved with crimson runes, which attracted the surrounding Mana. Based on the amount of Mana the bolts attracted, they could tell that they were at least Tier 3. In other words, they were no weaker than the Defense Turrets' cannonballs.
After all, Moon Creek Town only had eight Cannon Turrets.
If over a hundred Large Ballistas fired simultaneously …
"Is this why they aren't in a hurry to attack?" Crimson Heart's expression was indescribably cold as she watched the Large Ballistas.
She had assumed that the Hundred Flowers Palace would, more or less, have some resistance against superpowers, but after seeing over a hundred Large Ballistas, she found her assumption laughable.
"So, this is Starlink?"
"Is this a joke?! How are we supposed to defend the town?! "
The Hundred Flowers Palace members on the town's walls still had a trace of fighting spirit, but after seeing the Large Ballistas, their fighting spirit vanished. Only fear and despair filled their hearts.
Not only were they outnumbered, but the disparity between their war weapons was massive. How were they supposed to fight?
Against so many Large Ballistas, they wouldn't even last ten or twenty minutes, much less three hours.
Meanwhile, the players in Moon Creek Town were in an uproar after witnessing this shocking scene. The various large Guilds' spies, in particular, were frantically spreading the news of this incident throughout the town.
To any Guild, 300,000 elite and expert players were not to be underestimated. However, they were not invincible.
As long as they relied on the advantage of defending the city, they would only need a little more than a hundred thousand people to defend the city.
However, a 100-plus Large Ballistas was a different story. With the town's current defenses, it was impossible to stop the Large Ballistas. Not even the various superpowers were an exception. In other words, if Starlink wanted to destroy a town in the fields, it could do so easily. At this point, the various large Guilds would no longer be able to rely on their town's defenses to survive against Starlink.
The moment the news spread, it caused a sensation among all the forces in the Dark Night Empire.
"How could this be?" Unyielding Heart frowned as he read the report his subordinate had just sent him. "When did Starlink obtain so many Large Ballistas?"
Unyielding Soul had been paying close attention to Starlink's movements. Naturally, the news of Starlink's attack on the Hundred Flowers Palace hadn't escaped their notice.
Unyielding Soul had prepared to help the Hundred Flowers Palace in secret and disrupt Starlink's plans.
However, now, let alone disrupting Starlink's plans, even Unyielding Soul's own town was in grave danger.
"Starlink sure is scheming!" Shadow Flower gritted her teeth as she watched the video of the 100-plus Large Ballistas. "How is this an attack on Moon Creek Town? Starlink is simply trying to solidify its position as the Dark Night Empire's overlord!"
Starlink could've easily captured Moon Creek Town, yet it had chosen to take its time. Its goal was obvious; it wanted to make an example out of the town.
Starlink knew that the Dark Night Empire's various powers, including the empire's two superpowers, were paying close attention to Moon Creek Town.
Hence, it wanted to use the Hundred Flowers Palace to show the various powers just how powerful Starlink was!
"Guild Leader, are we still going to Moon Creek Town?" one of the Hundred Flowers Palace's upper echelons asked.
"Notify Crimson Heart and Cleansed Rue to abandon Moon Creek Town immediately. Send as many people as possible," Shadow Flower said helplessly after giving the matter some thought.
"Understood!"
…
Silent Canyon, Starlink Army, outside of Moon Creek Town:
"Guild Leader, the Hundred Flowers Palace's Crimson Heart has sent us a message. She's willing to hand over Moon Creek Town and hopes that we'll let them go," Dawn Flower reported when she saw a crystal scepter in her hand. She wore luxurious mage robes and wielded a crystal scepter. She could not help but smile as she read the message her subordinate had sent her.
"Are they thinking of surrendering now that they know the difference in strength?" Lu Xingluo's lips curled into a playful smile when he heard Dawn Flower's words. "I heard from Xuanyuan and Mad Tiger that Ling Yi's people are involved."
"That's right." Dawn Flower nodded.
"Ling Yi has ruined my plans several times. Since we've met again, I'll let them pay some interest first. Tell the Hundred Flowers Palace that they can leave the Silent Canyon if they want to. Kill those people from the Ling Yi Society within ten minutes, and I'll let them leave the canyon safely. If they fail, none of them will leave the canyon alive!" Lu Xingluo sneered.
"Understood! I'll notify them right away! "Dawn Flower immediately contacted her subordinates.
Meanwhile, on top of Moon Creek Town's walls …
"Big Sis Crimson, Starlink has replied. They say that they can only choose between Ling Yi and survival," Cleansed Rue reported with a grim expression as she read the message in her hands.
"Starlink really is looking down on our Guild," Crimson Heart said with a cold glint in her eyes. "Notify everyone immediately! We're going to fight Starlink to the death! Even if we get annihilated, we'll make Starlink pay a price! Also, Cleansed Rue, form a legion of experts. Once the battle begins, lead Ling Yi's people and retreat in the opposite direction. They should have a chance to escape. After all, this is the Hundred Flowers Palace's business. Ling Yi has already helped us a lot. We can't drag them into this. "
"Understood." Cleansed Rue nodded.
Following which, Cleansed Rue began to move under Crimson Heart's command. Crimson Heart also began to arrange for her subordinates to prepare for battle.
Time flew by. Ten minutes passed very quickly.
