After two weeks of nothing, the Stronghold War returned. The major clubs had no choice but to put aside the Instance Dungeon raids that were in full swing and put their energy into the Strongholds.
The clubs that didn't have a Stronghold were desperately trying to get one, but the clubs that already had one weren't willing to let it be taken away.
In the words of Blood Red War Flag's commander, Capoken, this was a battle for survival.
Ruling Sword had two Strongholds. Even if they were impregnable, there was no shortage of clubs that wanted to challenge them. There were even some who found Lu Li or Genhao San and used real money to buy a Stronghold.
The price was ridiculously high. Then, Lu Li shockingly found out that he was already worth hundreds of millions.
Of course, he wouldn't sell it. Even an idiot knew that he couldn't kill the goose that laid the golden eggs. As long as Dawnlight continued to develop healthily, these properties would only become more and more valuable.
Perhaps in the future, when there were more properties, he would sell some of them to improve his life in real life.
Lu Li used to be very thrifty, but that wasn't in his nature. Everyone was a hedonist. After his sister had recovered and the club was on the right track, he wanted to improve the quality of his life.
For example, he recently wanted to own a car. It would be best if it was a little more flashy.
Every man had a dream of a luxury car. Lu Li liked those retro hard off-road cars. They were more manly and safe.
If he was on a date with Water Fairy, it would be too low for him to let Water Fairy drive.
There were no new maps in this Stronghold War, so the ten old Strongholds became the targets of everyone's competition. These Strongholds were Ruling Sword's Black Sea Coast and Grey Valley, Drizzle Court's Western Wilderness, Seventh Heaven's Tanaris, The Capital of Glory's Barrenlands and Stranglethorn Vale, Blood Red War Flag's Hillsbrad Hills, Peerless City's Stonetalon Mountains, Wings of Dawn's Thousand Needles and Grand Hegemony's Un 'Goro Crater.
Among them, Ruling Sword's two Strongholds had the longest history and were also the most well-established.
Relatively speaking, the best place to attack was Grand Hegemony's Stronghold. No matter how hard they worked, the club's weak foundation would not make much progress in the short term, so it gave people the feeling that anyone could bully them.
Next were the Wings of Dawn, Seventh Heaven, and Blood Red War Flag. Their strongholds had been in the flames of war for a long time and had not had the time to develop properly.
The results of the land auction were out in the morning.
Perhaps it was because the system hadn't released a new map for a long time, but these Clubs who were waiting for a new map couldn't sit still. This time, the price of the land had increased by a few dozen percent. The lowest price had already reached 70,000 to 80,000 Gold Coins. It was only a matter of time before it broke through the 100,000 Gold Coin mark.
The higher the auction price, the better it would be for a club like Ruling Sword who owned two pieces of land.
If one didn't win the right to attack the Stronghold, the gold coins would be returned. However, only a portion of the gold coins would be returned, about 60%. As for the remaining 40%, half of it would go to the game company and the other half to the Stronghold that was won.
As such, Ruling Sword had an income of 40,000 Gold Coins from the auction alone.
If the club that won the bid for the Stronghold lost, half of the gold coins they paid would go to the game company and the other half to the Stronghold. This was another large income.
Risk and profit came hand in hand. If the Stronghold was attacked, then the club would not only receive the Stronghold, but also the income that the club originally received from the Stronghold would be counted under their name.
Lu Li had to pay attention to Stronghold battles. He wished he could have one every day.
A single Stronghold battle could make Ruling Sword, who owned two Strongholds, earn more than 200,000 gold coins. As for the potions, repair fees, equipment and other costs of defending the Stronghold, it would be settled for 50,000 gold coins at most.
150,000 gold coins, according to the current market price of 35, could be exchanged for 5 million dollars in real money.
Of course, the development of the game required gold coins. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't exchange gold coins. In order to save gold coins, sometimes the guild members who performed well would be rewarded with real money.
This time, Ruling Sword's two Strongholds were won by The Capital of Glory and the Gangnam Royals respectively.
The former number one and number two clubs in the country were now aiming for Ruling Sword's territory. In a sense, Lu Li could already be proud of himself.
Moreover, he had quite a bit of confidence.
This was also why he didn't look for Drizzle Court or Peerless City to attack his own Stronghold. Although that would be foolproof, the money that could be earned would also be gone.
Lu Li led a team to face The Capital of Glory in Grey Valley, while Wander and Sky Moon led a team to face the Gangnam Royals in the Black Sea Coast Stronghold. The confrontation between the three top clubs attracted many people's attention.
The tickets were also a large source of income.
With just the income from the Stronghold, Ruling Sword didn't need to pull in any investments to quickly obtain the funds to develop.
Lu Li and Xiao Mo could be considered old friends. Many people in the Dawnlight forum had written a lot about them. There were emotional words, the kind that were very corny. At the same time, there were also a large number of fujoshis who didn't support the pairing of Lu Li and Water Fairy. They imagined all kinds of new pairings.
Last time, Sky Moon brought people to pretend to attack Ruling Sword's Barrenlands Stronghold. Xiao Mo and he had endured to the last moment. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually still angry in his heart.
How precious was time? Wasting an opportunity could cause many things to change.
This time, the Capital of Glory gave up on the easier Stronghold and once again targeted Ruling Sword. This was completely in line with Xiao Mo's personality. He would never avoid a battle because it was difficult.
"Boss, what strategy will they have?" Fei Houzi craned his neck, waiting for the enemy to appear.
"It'll be a fierce battle. Xiao Mo actually doesn't use strategy very often. Strategy is something that the weak look for. The strong use strength to break through," Lu Li had studied Xiao Mo. This was his number one enemy.
"Tch, we're not weak either," Fei Houzi was very arrogant.
"Monkey, you can't be like this. Don't look down on any opponent, especially an opponent like Xiao Mo. Whether it's you or me, we have no right to look down on Xiao Mo," Lu Li said seriously.
Before he fought with Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo was an insurmountable battle in Fei Houzi's mind. However, after he fought with Xiao Mo, the outside world praised him and thought that he was the most likely person to inherit the title of Mage God from Xiao Mo. This kind of gap was too big, and it was inevitable that Fei Houzi would lose himself.
"I understand," Fei Houzi said after a moment of silence, then nodded.
The main force of The Capital of Glory soon appeared in their field of vision. Most of them were familiar faces. It seemed like they were serious this time. The strongest players in the club had come.
Oh, no, it wasn't just The Capital of Glory.
There were also Gaze, Cloudy Leaf, Wendelian and others. Obviously, even the big players from Gale Legion had come. With the two top clubs working together, the battle situation suddenly increased by several levels.
According to the rules of attacking Strongholds, it was easier to attack nearby Strongholds than to attack unrelated Strongholds. The main reason was that there would be fewer people to choose from, so there would be more top players to choose from.
This time, the Capital of Glory's camp was almost entirely filled with top players.
The two commentators who were broadcasting this battle were already shocked speechless. One of them directly exclaimed, "The Capital of Glory hasn't had such a neat lineup for a long time."
What advantage did Ruling Sword have?
The walls, the Ancient of Lore and their unyielding will. Lu Li only saw a strong fighting spirit on the faces of his comrades. There was no fear or cowardice.
Lu Li felt that even if they lost this battle, he wouldn't feel any regret.
"They brought ladders. I don't know how they made them," Fei Houzi said. He had been observing carefully. Lu Li said that Xiao Mo didn't have a strategy, but he didn't really believe it. As such, he had been paying attention to what trump cards they had.
"In ancient times, ladders were used to attack Strongholds. This is a virtual reality game, so it will appear sooner or later," Lu Li said, trying to comfort everyone. "The use of ladders is limited. At most, they can only send a few people up. Everyone just needs to kill them."
"Yeah, they're here to give us equipment," Weilan Haifeng said fearlessly as he waved his new Legendary weapon.
The turrets and ladders formed a series of attacking swords. Ruling Sword didn't hesitate to retaliate with cannons and skills. The battle had just begun, but it had already entered a state of unprecedented intensity.
"Someone's coming up. Kill him!" Lu Li shouted.
Along with his voice, there was an even faster figure. Moonlight directly collided with the incoming player. The opponent was a Berserker like him.
Gaze!
Gale Legion's number one Berserker. He, Gaze, Elevenless, Deadly Gold Pants and Sea Breaker were the top five Warriors in the entire game.
When the two Warriors collided, they only had eyes for each other.
Gaze also knew that he wouldn't be able to survive on the wall. His goal was to disrupt the rhythm of the defense on the wall and provide an angle for the cannons to fire.
However, he was stopped by Moonlight.
If it was Lu Li who stopped him, he could ignore it. However, this was Moonlight. There was no way he could avoid this fateful battle, even with Xiao Mo's orders.
By the same logic, the moment Moonlight saw Gaze, he pounced on it.
Warriors were hot-blooded. Glory was a barrier in their hearts that they couldn't get over.
Lu Li didn't act alone. It was as if he was constantly observing Xiao Mo and Xiao Mo was also observing his position. If there was an opportunity, the two of them wouldn't mind focusing their firepower on each other.
