In order to ensure a certain amount of damage, Lu Li could not arrange for too many healers to participate in the battle. It was already good enough for a small party to have one healer.
As such, everyone could only drink potions generously. If they died, they would return to the recovery point and participate in the battle again.
Finally, there was the resurrection point.
It could be bought or not. Its function was self-explanatory. It allowed players to carry the resurrection point with them, so they did not have to run all the way from the system's resurrection point after they died.
This thing looked like a statue of an angel sister, and it was priced at 200 gold coins.
The system had drawn out a map for Lullaby Forest. It was roughly located at the intersection of Treehouse, Silverwind Refuge and Broken Wood Outpost. It was next to the Faerun River and had a very large area.
If the Alliance occupied this place, they could use Astrana's flight point to communicate with the outside world before they built a teleportation point.
If it was a Horde, the Horde army at Broken Wood Outpost would also be very powerful.
In the early stages of the game, player's Stronghold would not be a thorn in the side of the NPCs. Lu Li was not worried that the Orc army at Broken Wood Outpost would attack his Stronghold. Moreover, this kind of chaotic place was more popular for players looking for excitement. The rich herbal resources in Lullaby Forest could also be a part of the financial income.
He reluctantly bought eight chariots and a resurrection point.
In fact, it was not a big problem not to buy the angel, but Lu Li did not dare to take the risk. As someone who had been reborn, he did not know the difficulty of the Stronghold at the beginning. If it was too difficult, it would be terrible. Compared to the value of a Stronghold, 200 gold coins wasn't much.
The only way to enter the Stronghold Battlefield was through the City War Administrator. After the commander submitted a list of names, everyone would be teleported to the Resurrection Point of the Stronghold Battlefield. It was a place filled with lush greenery. Ancient stone statues stood there, bearing witness to the fall of the Nightsong Forest and the fall of the Orc army.
It was drizzling, and a few Fire Mages were cursing this place in a low voice.
"Weilan Haifeng, World's Best Friend, you guys are in charge of pulling the chariots. Pair up with an Ice Mage and fire from above. Aim at the tower before you attack. Eight chariots, four on each side. We will only attack the middle." As the defenders were all monsters, there was no need to give any instructions.
From the resurrection point to the Stronghold Crystal was a small forest path.
The chariot was the most basic type. It had no power and could only be pulled by one player. The Defense Warrior, who had outstanding Stamina and Strength, became the only "livestock" available. Even if they were attacked by the Sentry Tower, they wouldn't be instantly killed.
"Protect the tank!"
Spiders crawled out from the bushes beside the path. Their target was very clear. They were heading straight for the tank. When they reached the point of attack, they began to spray venom at the tank.
The tank had both HP and durability. Regardless of whether its HP bar was empty or its durability reached zero, it would still be scrapped.
The poison would damage the chariots and corrode their durability.
The Paladin rushed into the group of monsters and used Consecration to pull the aggro of the monsters. The Mages directly cast their AoE skills towards the trees and the monsters that were close to the chariots were dispersed by the Priests and Warlocks. The chariots rumbled forward under the protection of the Ruling Sword players.
The first pair of sentry towers came into sight.
There was a Binding Tower and an Exploding Tower. There were also many monsters defending them.
"Get into formation and fire at the Exploding Tower. Take out the Exploding Tower first. Defense Paladins, focus on pulling the monsters. Don't let them get close to the tank." Lu Li could only command from here. He couldn't go up to the tower to fight the monsters. That would be too dangerous.
The 200 gold Resurrection Point could only be used once, so Lu Li didn't plan to use it here. At the very least, he wanted to place the Resurrection Point at the entrance of the Stronghold.
The cannons of the tank were aimed at the monsters on top of the Exploding Tower. The Exploding Tower also returned fire. There were also archers on top of the Exploding Tower. They were also long-range attackers. Their appearance was related to this map – Satyr.
Satyrs were fallen demons that loved to torture. Like the Naga, the first Satyr was once a Night Elf.
However, since then, other races had joined the ranks of the Satyrs. They were twisted and evil, and loved to cause blood and pain.
Because they used to be Night Elves, most of them were excellent archers and Forest Stalkers. They more or less retained some of the physical characteristics of their original race, especially their faces and torsos. The evidence that they were Satyrs included their split hooves, hairy lamb legs, long lion tails, longer limbs, claws and horns.
Thieves were the best class to deal with these archers.
A few Thieves entered the Exploding Tower in Stealth. Each of them focused on one Satyr and attacked.
They were very weak in melee combat, and they were used to taking a step back in an attempt to widen the distance between them before continuing to attack with their bows. This was a very foolish attempt. The sentry tower was only so big, and there was not enough space for them to move forward. Therefore, these Level-59 Elites were quickly wiped out.
After the Thieves completed their mission, they went to clear out the archers on the other tower, the Binding Tower.
The others were responsible for clearing out the remaining monsters. A few chariots continued to bombard the Exploding Tower. Very soon, the seemingly powerful Exploding Tower was blasted into pieces. The damage of the Exploding Tower was actually quite high. However, since every party had a healer and they could drink potions, there were not too many casualties. Only one player who did not have enough health left fell from the top of the tower and died.
After the Exploding Tower was taken care of, it was the Binding Tower's turn.
The main purpose of the Binding Tower was to reduce the speed of the players. Its damage was actually not high, so Lu Li did not need to be so focused on commanding. He jumped down from the chariot and joined the battle.
The first battle was a success. They took out two sentry towers with almost zero casualties.
Two of the chariots suffered some damage, but this could not be helped. The chariots and sentry towers had the same range. If they wanted to use chariots to attack the sentry towers, they would have to endure the counterattack of the sentry towers.
After taking out these two sentry towers, there was a clear increase in the number of monsters in the next part of the journey. However, the monsters were not too strong.
Most of the players here today were Level 59, and the monsters could only be Level 59. No matter how strong a Level 59 Elite monster was, it was still a piece of cake. Compared to the mobs they had encountered in the Molten Core, it was like heaven and earth. In the beginning, these monsters could still approach and attack the chariots. However, as the players became more proficient, they could not even touch the chariots.
The second pair of sentry towers was quickly taken out, followed by the third pair.
There were a total of 30 sentry towers outside the stronghold. There were three paths, each with ten sentry towers, five Binding Towers, and five Exploding Towers. These sentry towers were quickly cleared out.
Although Lu Li and the others had an easy time clearing these sentry towers, this did not mean they were easy to deal with.
