Starlink's 300,000 elite and expert players had completely surrounded Moon Creek Town. Following Lu Xingluo's command, the 100-plus Large Ballistas began to slowly advance, their movements affecting the town's players.
This was definitely the first time the Dark Night Empire had witnessed such a large-scale siege.
When the Hundred Flowers Palace's members on the town's walls saw the army of players swarming toward the town, they couldn't help but tremble in fear.
As members of first-rate Guilds, they had experienced all sorts of PvP battles. Some had even participated in large-scale battles, but none of those battles were worth mentioning compared to this.
Even Seven Light and Remnant Cloud, who watched from the town's walls, were shocked by this scene.
"Amazing! So, this is a Guild war? "
"Although I've witnessed a Guild war before, it feels different to be a spectator."
"So, over a hundred Large Ballistas is a superpower's trump card?"
Even Seven Light and the others, who were Refinement Realm experts, felt insignificant in front of an army of 300,000 elite and expert players. They wouldn't even be able to cause the slightest ripple.
Although they had faced a lot of players when they tried to break out of the encirclement, they had been fighting on a narrow mountain path. They'd already be lucky to have a 100-man army. Now, however, they were fighting on a flat plain. They'd have to face hundreds or thousands of players.
Not to mention, even a group of peak experts would be blasted to smithereens if 100 Large Ballistas fired simultaneously.
"It seems that Starlink isn't just trying to annihilate the Hundred Flowers Palace. It's also trying to use the Palace as an example to the rest of the Dark Night Empire." Shifeng sighed ruefully as he watched the approaching Large Ballistas.
Large Ballistas!
These weapons were far more useful than the Defense Turrets in towns and cities. Although their range wasn't as long as the Defense Turrets', they were as powerful as bona fide Tier 3 weapons. They also had a shorter Cooldown.
Moreover, the Large Ballistas' design wasn't particularly difficult to obtain, and the materials required to produce them weren't particularly rare. Even Basic Master players could produce them. Hence, Large Ballistas had been one of the mainstream weapons used in siege battles in the past.
The Large Ballistas' only flaw was their exorbitant cost.
Each Large Ballista cost over 1,000 Gold to produce, and after factoring in the failure rate, a Basic Master ranked Ballista would cost around 3,000 Gold to produce. Since Starlink had over 100 Large Ballistas, it had spent at least 300,000 Gold to produce them.
Shi Feng had to admit that a superpower was indeed a superpower. It had both money and influence. If it were him, he would not be willing to do so.
Although the Large Ballistas cost only half as much as the Defense Turrets, the Defense Turrets provided was extremely high. They could even tank a few Tier 4 attacks. The Large Ballistas, on the other hand, couldn't even tank two or three Tier 3 attacks, much less Tier 4 attacks. Moreover, the Large Ballistas' durability would decrease as long as they were used. The cost of repairing the Large Ballistas after a battle was over.
"Commander Ye Feng, I've finally found you." At this moment, Cleansed Rue suddenly walked over and said hurriedly, "The battle is about to start. Moon Creek Town is too dangerous. Hurry up and get ready. We'll find an opportunity to break out of this encirclement."
"You don't plan on keeping Moon Creek Town anymore?" The Shifeng asked curiously.
He already knew that Moon Creek Town was the Hundred Flowers Palace's last hope in the Dark Night Empire. If they lost Moon Creek Town, the Palace wouldn't be able to continue developing in the Dark Night Empire. It would have no choice but to leave the empire.
"We can't defend Moon Creek Town anymore. The difference in strength is simply too great. All we can do now is preserve as much of our strength as possible," Cleansed Rue said, shaking her head.
She, too, wanted to leave Moon Creek Town if possible. However, the difference in strength between the two sides was obvious. Even if Shadow Flower led a team of 200,000 elite and expert players to defend Moon Creek Town, the outcome wouldn't change.
In the face of over a hundred Large Ballistas, Moon Creek Town's defenses were practically non-existent. It would be much better for the Palace to conserve its strength and develop in a new location.
"Is that so?" Shifeng understood the Hundred Flowers Palace's thoughts. Smiling, he suggested, "What if I say that I have a way to defend Moon Creek Town?"
"Defend Moon Creek Town?" Cleansed Rue blinked in confusion. "Mhm.
It's not impossible to stop Starlink's attacks. Only, if we want to defend Moon Creek Town, we'll need to know Ling YI Society's core secrets, "Shifeng said, nodding.
"Can we really defend Moon Creek Town?" Cleansed Rue asked Xiang Shifeng for confirmation.
She understood what Shifeng was trying to say. As long as she became Ling Yi's ally, Ling Yi would be willing to help her defend Moon Creek Town. However, she couldn't think of a way to defend Moon Creek Town right now.
"We have a 70% to 80% chance," Shifeng said after giving the matter some thought.
"Seventy to 80%?!" Cleansed Rue's eyes widened in shock as she stared at Shifeng.
Despite facing an army of 300,000 elite players and over a hundred Large Ballistas, Shi Feng still had a 70% to 80% chance of victory. If she hadn't followed Shifeng and gained some understanding of the Shifeng, she would've suspected Shifeng of being a liar.
"If we fail, I can represent Ling Yi in renouncing our alliance. On the other hand, if we succeed, the terms of our alliance will remain unchanged. What do you think?" Shifeng asked Cleansed Rue.
"Alright, I'll discuss this with the Guild Leader right away." When Cleansed Rue heard Shi Feng's confident tone and conditions, she immediately contacted Shadow Flower and Crimson Heart and informed them of the situation. She then asked them to make a decision for her.
"Defend Moon Creek Town? Is that even possible? "Crimson Heart couldn't believe her ears when she heard Cleansed Rue's words.
Even Unyielding Soul and Crimson Emperor, who were both superpowers, didn't dare intervene in this battle. One of the reasons was that they couldn't defend Moon Creek Town, and the other was that they didn't want to draw unnecessary attention to themselves.
"However, since Ling Yi has said so, even if we fail, we won't suffer any losses. It doesn't matter if we give it a try," Shadow Flower said. After giving the matter some thought, she decided to give it a try. It was better than doing nothing and leaving the Dark Night Empire.
Following which, Cleansed Rue signed an alliance contract with Shifeng on behalf of Shadow Flower. As long as they defended Moon Creek Town, the Hundred Flowers Palace was willing to hand over 50% of its Shops' management rights to Ling Yi. On the other hand, if they failed, the alliance would be canceled.
"Commander Ye Feng, what do you need the Hundred Flowers Palace to do?" Cleansed Rue asked after signing the contract with Xiang Shifeng.
After giving the matter some thought, Shifeng asked, "How many players does the Hundred Flowers Palace have stationed in Moon Creek Town? Can you give me a breakdown of their combat power?"
"We currently have 35,000 players stationed in Moon Creek Town. Among them, over 3,000 are expert players, and over 300 are Tier 2 NPCs," Cleansed Rue said. Cleansed Rue continued, "If necessary, we can also use 4,000 Blood Source Potions to create 4,000 experts."
Normally, such a force would be impressive enough to defend a town, but against an army of 300,000 elite and elite players, it would be a little fragile.
"Not bad. That should be enough." Shifeng nodded. He then turned to Seven Light and the others and said, "Alright, get ready to get to work. Our targets are Starlink's Large Ballistas!"
