Currently, Dawnlight had released eight pieces of land, but there were no new Strongholds this time.
These eight pieces of land were in the hands of Ruling Sword, Drizzle Court, Gale Legion, The Capital of Glory, Grand Hegemony and Peerless City. Apart from Grand Hegemony, these clubs were all relatively strong.
Ruling Sword had many successful Strongholds, and the Black Sea Coast and Grey Valley had been through several battles. They weren't invulnerable, but they wouldn't be easy to take down.
The main point of the competition was the new Strongholds.
The Hillsbrad Hills, the Stonetalon Mountains and Tanaris, which had already changed hands several times.
This time, Xiao Mo still planned to use a sky-high price to keep Tanaris, which was occupied by Gale Legion. After all, this bug in the System wasn't fixed, which meant that the game company approved of it.
However, the result this time was very unexpected.
Seventh Heaven seemed to have put in a lot more money than The Capital of Glory. They were determined to win the right to attack Tanaris.
Seventh Heaven was a classic example of the gaming industry. In the real world, there was a wealthy man who was known as the Prince of Cars who bought them for 45 million dollars. After Dawnlight's release, the gaming industry had further developed. This club was bought for 455 million dollars, so even if they were offered 400 million dollars, they probably wouldn't sell it.
With the backing of such a wealthy man, they could indeed compete with the top club in the game.
After obtaining the right to bid for the land, Seventh Heaven actually managed to take down Tanaris. Gale Legion's strength wasn't much weaker than theirs, but one of them hadn't made any preparations at all. Their main force was helping to defend the other two Strongholds of Glory Capital, while the other was coming at them aggressively.
Tanaris had already changed hands many times, and it was likely that it would still be the focus of competition in the future.
The Hillsbrad Hills was a new Stronghold map that had been released last time. It was occupied by Grand Hegemony and was also the focus of this Stronghold battle. Even Lu Li wanted to participate.
When Lu Li first entered the game, his relationship with Grand Hegemony was quite good. Grand Hegemony's Northern Tang Dream even sent an invitation to Lu Li, but Lu Li rejected it.
However, this didn't stop Lu Li from attacking Grand Hegemony. Friendship was friendship, and business was business. This was usually said by villains in movies, but in reality, it had become an iron law. If Ruling Sword had the opportunity to take down the Hillsbrad Hills, he would do it without hesitation.
Grand Hegemony had tried to take over Ruling Sword's Black Sea Coast and Grey Valley Strongholds more than once.
Unfortunately, the amount of gold that Lu Li offered was not enough to even touch the borders of their Stronghold. In the end, it was Blood Red War Flag who obtained the right to attack. In the last Stronghold battle, they had lost the Barrenlands that they had just obtained.
This time, they made a comeback and targeted the very popular Hillsbrad Hills.
After all, a veteran club was a veteran club, and they weren't a declining veteran club like the Gangnam Royals. After a fierce battle, Blood Red War Flag successfully captured the Hillsbrad Foothills Stronghold and protected their reputation as a top club.
The new map, Stonetalon Mountains, was also a place that many clubs had to fight for.
Unfortunately, Peerless City had money and people. Their allies were also at the level of Drizzle Court and Ruling Sword. How could they be willing to give up the new Stronghold that they had just obtained?
In fact, when the Stronghold was first released, no one paid much attention to it.
It wasn't until Ruling Sword developed the Grey Valley Stronghold that more and more Trade Skill players gathered in Grey Valley that it became a distribution center for Trade Skill materials. There were also some casual and combat players who wanted to create an ideal home here that only existed in their fantasies.
The Black Sea Coast had become an entertainment city in the game. As long as it wasn't forbidden, all kinds of entertainment could be found here.
This was what it was like to be drunk in a dream.
This prosperity brought Ruling Sword a lot of popularity and income, and it was likely that there would be even more in the future.
The development of Grey Valley and the Black Sea Coast allowed everyone to see the broad development prospects of this game element, which was why they began to pay attention to it. Just from the bidding prices, it could be seen that everyone had put in a lot of money.
Ruling Sword couldn't expand their territory in a short period of time.
Unless they hid the Stronghold in the future, they could take advantage of the situation when the other guilds were fighting for supremacy. At the moment, being able to hold two Strongholds was already very good. The Capital of Glory also only had two Strongholds. Drizzle Court and Peerless City, with the huge financial support of the female tycoon, only had one city each.
There were also many large clubs that were currently empty-handed.
In fact, because they had taken a lot of equipment from the Capital of Glory, if Lu Li was really determined, there was still hope that they could take down a Stronghold. For example, the Hillsbrad Hills that Grand Hegemony had previously occupied, but was now taken by Blood Red War Flag.
However, in the end, Lu Li gave up. The conclusion was that they couldn't defend it.
For example, because of the many times that Tanaris had changed owners, its defence had always been in a basic state. There were no bugs that could be exploited, so Lu Li didn't think that he could defend the Hillsbrad Hills at all.
When the time was right, he would definitely show his strength on the Stronghold map.
When the Donghua Cup entered the top 16, it was already September.
This was already the second September since Lu Li's rebirth, which meant that he had been reborn for a whole year.
Many things had happened in this year. Some of them were within his expectations and were goals that he had put in great effort to achieve, such as a healthy and lively sister. There were also some things that were outside of his control, such as Ruling Sword and Water Fairy. However, he didn't reject these changes that were outside of his control.
After experiencing so many things, his mentality had also changed.
Fortunately, everything was developing in a good direction.
Although the future was full of difficulties, once he decided to go this way, Lu Li would never look back. For his sister, for Water Fairy, and for the friends that had followed him through this journey, he could only win. He couldn't lose.
This month, there was a new event in the game – Brewfest.
Brewfest was one of the more popular events in the early days of Dawnlight. It was held to celebrate the invention of alcoholic beverages in the game.
The officials probably didn't think that Brewfest would be a major breakthrough for Dawnlight.
In the past, there were many games that set up various festivals. Most of them coincided with the festivals in real life, such as Christmas and Valentine's Day. The rewards were more generous than the last, but in the end, the game was just a game. These events weren't strange to everyone, and they didn't affect anything in real life.
