After satisfying everyone's curiosity, the day was finally over.
On Tuesday morning, Ruling Sword's two pieces of land were the targets, especially the Grey Valley Stronghold. The eight clubs that successfully obtained the right to attack were basically all top clubs.
Yesterday's System update made a lot of changes to the Stronghold system.
The new map was usually auctioned on Monday morning and attacked in the afternoon. The player's Stronghold was auctioned on Tuesday morning and the System's Stronghold was attacked in the morning. After the results were out, the attack would officially start in the afternoon.
One of the changes was to limit the number of chariots and increase the price of the chariots from 100 to 1000. Even if the number wasn't limited, even a tycoon like Water Fairy would be willing to spend so much to buy chariots.
In addition, there were also changes to the arrow towers.
In addition to increasing the damage of the arrow towers, there was also a health sharing between the arrow towers. Unless the three arrow towers were destroyed, the last two arrow towers would maintain their last bit of HP.
Lu Li was almost smiling as he looked at the changes to the Stronghold.
These changes were generally beneficial to the defensive side. Although Lu Li had made all sorts of preparations, if he could save some effort and increase his chances of winning, he wouldn't reject it.
The construction of the Grey Valley Stronghold was already very good. The walls had withstood the test of so many chariots during the last attack and had been repaired afterwards. In addition to the fact that they were in the forest, the Keepers of the Grove and the Dryads were all helpers. Lu Li really couldn't think of anyone who could take down this Stronghold.
It was the Black Sea Coast that was more dangerous.
The seed of the Ancient Tree had already taken root and sprouted next to the Moon Well, but it was only a small sapling. It was simply unrealistic to expect it to summon an army of Treants.
Although the walls were strong, when Lu Li attacked the Black Sea Coast last time, he didn't break them down. There were many capable players in the game, and no one could guarantee that others didn't have this ability.
As such, Lu Li handed the defense of the Grey Valley Stronghold over to Wander, while he personally guarded the Black Sea Coast.
Wander didn't need to spend too much effort, and he wasn't mediocre either. His commanding ability wasn't much worse than Lu Li's. Lu Li's strong point was that he had been reborn, and the other was that he had been through all sorts of hardships since he was a child, so he had already developed an iron will.
Wander's adaptability was very strong. His reputation as a genius was not just for show. His brain could think faster than ordinary people.
Ruling Sword needed to defend two places, so they didn't participate in the auction. The same was true for Drizzle Court and Peerless City, but Ruling Sword participated in all the auctions.
The Capital of Glory and Gale Legion sat on the Barrenlands and Stranglethorn Vale, the two best lands. However, they were not satisfied at all. The other four lands were Grey Valley, Black Sea Coast, Western Wilderness and Tanaris. These four lands belonged to Drizzle Court and Ruling Sword.
Of course, it was impossible for them to attack four pieces of land at full strength.
The main attacker had to randomly select a portion of the participants, so they had to prepare more people.
If there were no surprises, in addition to defending with all their might, there must be another direction of attack. The most likely place was the Black Sea Coast. After all, Ruling Sword had to defend two areas, and it was common knowledge that Ruling Sword didn't have enough high-level players.
Lu Li didn't pay attention to the Grey Valley Stronghold. Since he had handed it over to Wander, he would trust him.
The Capital of Glory, Seventh Heaven, Wings of Dawn, Azure Guard, Blood Red War Flag, Stellar Union, Gods of Dusk and Grand Hegemony – these eight clubs won the auction. Almost all of them were top clubs.
Only Gods of Dusk and Grand Hegemony were slightly different.
The former only had Wood Fearing left. He had been struggling at death's door for the past few years, but his perseverance was very good, so he hadn't been completely eliminated.
Grand Hegemony had received a large investment some time ago, and they were frantically trying to recruit people. Although they didn't manage to recruit any particularly powerful players, they managed to poach a lot of second and third rate players. Now, for the first time, they were showing their sharp claws and aiming for Ruling Sword's Black Sea Coast Stronghold.
After the auction, they would attack the System Stronghold together.
The person who took the shortest amount of time won and officially gained the right to attack Ruling Sword's Black Sea Coast Stronghold.
When it was almost noon, the results came out. The Capital of Glory had gained the right to attack.
They took a very short amount of time, which showed that they were determined to take the Black Sea Coast Stronghold. Grey Valley Stronghold's opponent was Seventh Heaven, Peerless City's Tanaris was going to fight Wings of Dawn, Drizzle Court's Western Wilderness was going to fight Azure Guard, and Gale Legion's Barrenlands was going to fight Blood Red War Flag.
As for The Capital of Glory's Stranglethorn Vale, Gale Legion had gained the right to attack.
To be honest, Lu Li was a little confused. He realized that he had overlooked this little bug. Gale Legion fighting The Capital of Glory? This was complete nonsense. They were a family.
In the current patch, it was indeed possible to do this.
Allies could attack each other, which prevented others from taking down their own Stronghold.
In fact, Lu Li could let Drizzle Court attack the Black Sea Coast. When Drizzle Court finally gained the right to attack, they could just give up and survive this crisis.
However, there were two things that needed to be considered.
The first was that the money from the auction had to be spent. The officials wouldn't be lenient in deducting the tax. The other was that the eight clubs were competing. Whether or not they could fight for the right to attack was also a problem.
Perhaps everyone was afraid of The Capital of Glory, so no one seriously wanted to take down Stranglethorn Vale. As a result, Gale Legion easily won. This way, The Capital of Glory didn't need to defend at all, and they could focus on the Black Sea Coast Stronghold.
In the future, this little bug would be avoided through the system update. Right now, Lu Li could only brace himself and fight against the main force of The Capital of Glory.
In the afternoon, the battle for the six Strongholds began.
Lu Li sat at the top of the Black Sea Coast Stronghold and bought all 30 chariots.
Because the price of chariots had skyrocketed by ten times, the price of these 30 chariots was equivalent to the previous 300 chariots. If it was a normal guild fighting, Lu Li wouldn't have bought so many chariots.
"We need to have someone inside the stronghold to keep an eye on them, in case they learn our previous tricks." Lu Li arranged for two people to keep an eye on the stronghold. Nowadays, many Warlocks could use Summoning Gates, and there were many players who could fly or had other means of flying.
"Should we go down and stop them for a bit? Otherwise, it might be very taxing on us," the Ice Mage Sky Moon suggested.
"If we send people out, we'll inevitably suffer losses." Lu Li wasn't very willing.
"Everyone has spare equipment in their backpacks. Even if they drop it, they won't lose the ability to fight. As for losses, I'm afraid this is inevitable." Sky Moon insisted on his own view. He felt that if The Capital of Glory attacked the stronghold too early, the stronghold might not be able to withstand it.
"Fine, we'll defend under the tower. I'll observe the movements of the enemy's forces from above. If something unexpected happens, Sky Moon, you'll be in charge of temporary command." Lu Li thought about it and felt that he might be wrong.
He came from a relatively poor background, and he started his business from scratch. He wanted to split every penny in half.
So at the beginning, he subconsciously felt that Sky Moon's suggestion was "too extravagant". But after careful analysis, losing a few more pieces of equipment was much better than losing the stronghold.
