There was indeed a small trap here.
It wasn't a secret that Ruling Sword's Grey Valley Stronghold had an Ancient of Lore. Previously, when Lu Li was defending the Black Sea Coast, he handed Grey Valley over to Wandering. Apart from the sturdy walls of the Grey Valley Stronghold, he also relied on the Ancient of Lore, which was gradually beginning to show its power.
However, before this, the tree was always inside the Stronghold, but its skills were released outside the Stronghold.
As such, everyone came to the conclusion that the Ancient of Lore's casting range was very wide, and it was very likely that a large amount of vegetation was needed to provide casting materials. Only when the vegetation was lush would it be possible to summon as many Treants as possible.
The first inference was very correct. As the Ancient of Lore grew, this range could be further strengthened, and its casting range could eventually cover the entire Stronghold map.
The second conclusion was a bit of an assumption.
In fact, even if it was only a small sapling, under the effect of the Ancient of Lore, it could still summon an overwhelming army of Treants. There was no need to talk logic with the game; the game itself was not a logical thing.
After breaking through the Stronghold walls, Dream 13 subconsciously ignored the threat of the Ancient of Lore.
Who would have thought that the Ancient of Lore would become the third trap?
"Retreat!" This was their third strategic shift. Perhaps it was because practice made perfect, but they were much more agile than the previous two times. Or perhaps it was because the members of the Wings of Dawn were all ready to escape at any time. As soon as they heard the order, they immediately turned around and ran.
"Wow, that's way too fast!" Ruling Sword's players were dumbfounded.
There were only a dozen or so people left, and the rest all ran. The densely packed Treants chased after them, and it looked very spectacular.
The Treants quickly turned into rotten wood. They looked very strong, but in reality, they had low Defence and low HP. Their attack was also very pitiful, and they only existed for a very short time. They could only be used as a trump card at the right time.
The dozen or so people only dropped a few pieces of equipment.
However, this was still better than nothing. Moreover, they had defeated the Wings of Dawn this way, so they had no chance of making a comeback.
After the battle ended, they were teleported out of the Stronghold battlefield.
The two sides just happened to meet at the City War Manager. If it wasn't for the fact that this was a safe zone, it was likely that everyone would have continued to fight. After all, the Wings of Dawn had suffered a great loss this time.
"Liu Jinzhu, you're too cunning." Elevenless glared at Wander. The last time they drank together, they even called each other brothers.
"You're still calling me by my real name. It seems that you haven't been taught a lesson enough." Wander smacked his lips and decided not to take the blame for someone. "Besides, I'm not the one who set you up. How could I think of such a sinister trick? Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. If you want revenge, look for the one over there."
"I'm sorry," Lu Li apologized as he smiled insincerely.
He didn't deny that he was commanding this battle. The Wander's role was to attract aggro and distract the enemy's attention.
"What's going on? I don't remember offending him!" Elevenless was very puzzled. The Wings of Dawn and himself had dealt with Lu Li several times before, and they had always been the ones to suffer losses. Lu Li had no reason to be so ruthless.
"Tsk tsk, you don't even know why you died." Wander looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot and complained, "Have you forgotten that you worked with Soul Eater to set up the Drizzle Court?"
"What does setting up the Drizzle Court have to do with Lu Li?" Elevenless still didn't understand.
"Let's go. Don't embarrass yourself here." Dream 13 reached out and patted the back of Elevenless' head. He muttered gloomily, "Cheating couple."
Elevenless suddenly understood.
They and Soul Eater set up Peerless City, and naturally set up Water Fairy. Lu Li was now taking revenge for his girlfriend.
They had nothing to say. Only the cheating couple could express their feelings.
Lu Li shrugged. He didn't deny that the reason he was working so hard was to help his ally get revenge. Peerless City's loss of their Stronghold was not small, so it was reasonable for him to set up the Wings of Dawn.
Drizzle Court also successfully defended their Stronghold in the Western Wilderness. The Gangnam Royals' Tanaris was taken by Gale Legion. Blood Red War Flag's Barrenlands was taken by The Capital of Glory, while The Capital of Glory defended their Stranglethorn Vale.
At this point, Ruling Sword sat on the Black Sea Coast and Grey Valley. The Capital of Glory occupied Stranglethorn Vale and the Barrenlands. Gale Legion occupied Tanaris, while Drizzle Court was still in the Western Wilderness. The two new victors were Grand Hegemony, who occupied the Hillsbrad Hills, and Peerless City, who occupied the Stonetalon Mountains.
The Gangnam Royals lost Tanaris, which they had just taken.
Although Tanaris was a barren land with yellow sand everywhere, the competition for it was very fierce. Peerless City, Wings of Dawn, Gangnam Royals and Gale Legion had each had four owners. As for the next time, it was unknown whether Gale Legion would be able to defend it.
Blood Red War Flag occupied the Barrenlands for two weeks, but in the end, it was still taken by The Capital of Glory.
The Capital of Glory was indeed very strong. They played the role of the attackers and forcefully took down Blood Red War Flag. If it was Ruling Sword that attacked, Lu Li wouldn't have any confidence at all. As such, it was completely a fluke that they were able to defend it last week. It was also because of this that Lu Li wanted to cheat at the Black Sea Coast Stronghold.
The next battle would probably be even more tragic. Moreover, the System also happened to be updated, so it would be even more difficult to defend the Stronghold.
However, the frequency of Stronghold battles would be further reduced in the future. At the very least, they wouldn't have to fight once a week. This way, everyone would have more time to focus on other things.
For example, competitions.
The fatigue of the first season of the league had quietly passed.
The most important thing in the professional circle was competitions. Even the Donghua Cup, which originally didn't have much attention, was now going crazy because of the popularity of the game Dawnlight.
The biggest feature of this year's Donghua Cup wasn't the training of new players by the clubs.
Instead, it was the participation of countless unknown teams in the competition.
According to official statistics, there were already more than 1.6 million teams that had signed up to participate in the competition. In the last Donghua Cup, there were more than 30,000 teams that had participated. Even Lu Li couldn't imagine how these 1.6 million teams had appeared.
In fact, the reason why so many people had appeared was because of the existence of Lu Li.
In the history of his previous life, there were indeed more people who survived the Donghua Cup, but that was only a team of about 100,000 people.
The butterfly effect caused the number of teams participating in the Donghua Cup to skyrocket.
This was mainly because of the rise of Lu Li and Ruling Sword. For many players, they had created a legend of a loser making a comeback.
A few people gathered together to win a competition, then established a club and walked to the peak of life. Wasn't this the dream of countless ordinary players?
As such, 1.6 million registered teams had set a world record in the gaming circle.
The Donghua Cup was similar to the previous competitions, but there were also differences.
Ruling Sword wasn't the first team to participate in the Shadow Cup. They didn't have to participate in the qualifiers, but Lu Li didn't plan on using that. He felt that the Donghua Cup existed to train the club's new players, so he wanted to let the new players participate in a complete competition.
Ruling Sword didn't have many decent new players, so this time, there were still some old players participating in the competition.
Lu Li couldn't participate. He wouldn't even be responsible for leading the team.
