Reigning Four Seas' probing attack only lasted a few seconds before they were crushed by the system's pincer attack. Thinking about the 800 guild players behind them, Unsworn Sword did not give the order to retreat. They would not suffer any losses even if they died, so they might as well fight to the last man.
Reigning Four Seas no longer had the chance to take a step forward. The sudden appearance of the assassins was more than enough to deal with. In addition to the ranged attacks from the top of the wall, the two rows of infantry at the base of the wall did not even have to move before Reigning Four Seas' army was completely annihilated.
When Unsworn Sword came out of the resurrection point, he saw that Feng Xing was already there waiting for him. After a short pause, he suddenly complained, "You saw that we were ambushed by assassins, why didn't you bring anyone to help us?"
Reigning Four Seas did not go all out in this battle. He only sent out the Archers and Priests, while the other melee players stayed behind to watch the battle.
Feng Xing was also stunned for a moment, "You didn't say anything!"
"I can't see clearly because I'm closely involved. You should've seen the situation better from the outside. You should've made a decision at a time like this! Even if you're not confident, you should've reminded me! "Unsworn Sword said.
Feng Xing did not say anything. He felt that Unsworn Sword's words made sense. They might've been too focused on the enemy to think too much when they were charging in. He was supervising the battle from the back and should've sent reinforcements at that time. The enemy's assassins were not many. If Reigning Four Seas' melee players could've helped at that time, they wouldn't have been defeated in this wave of attacks.
Unsworn Sword sighed, feeling that it was a great pity. At that moment, Countercurrent's voice rang in his ears, "Guild Leader Unsworn, you've worked hard!"
Countercurrent estimated that Unsworn Sword was about to die and hurried over to the resurrection point, just in time to greet him. As for whether he was here to console him or to watch him make a fool of himself, only he knew. Unsworn Sword was vexed, but he would not show his dejection in front of his competitors. When he heard Countercurrent's voice, he immediately straightened his chest and adjusted his equipment. He turned his head with a solemn expression and said, "Guild Leader Countercurrent, the system is not easy to deal with this time."
"Yes, we all saw it." Following Countercurrent were a few other presidents of the convention, and all of them had solemn expressions on their faces.
"Unhindered's trip to the Four Seas wasn't for nothing. The catapults can still attack like this, and they even have assassins hiding in ambush. This is something we've never seen in our previous battles," Unchung Mutsu, the guild leader of the Cloud Shepherds, said.
Unsworn Sword sent a heartfelt gaze of gratitude to their Guild Leader, who had spoken up for them. He wasn't the kind of person who only knew how to go against the flow. He was now seriously analyzing the pitiful information that he had obtained by sacrificing himself. "If the catapults' attacks are like the ones that appeared just now, I don't think there's much to worry about. With the support of the priests, they should be able to hold on for a while. After they come into contact with the enemy's soldiers, the catapults' attacks will definitely stop. Otherwise, no matter what kind of stones they use, they will hurt their own people."
"Yes!" Everyone nodded.
"Although we have 170,000 people, it's too much of a waste to charge like a swarm of bees. Perhaps the system predicted the number of players in each main city, so it set up a strategy that would be targeted at them. I suggest that we arrange our players according to the size of the area, and try to widen the formation as much as possible. Our brothers who come out can be substitutes at the back! When the brothers who charge first fall, the substitutes will follow, and the brothers who fall will rush back from the resurrection point as soon as possible. I don't believe that we can't break through this cycle. " As Unsworn Sword spoke, he actually managed to make some sense out of it. When he looked back, he was quite impressed with himself. Originally, he just wanted to casually analyze the situation to prove that although he died quickly, his death wasn't in vain. However, the more he spoke, the more ideas he had. After explaining the rotation system of the main force and substitutes, Unsworn Sword felt that it was really amazing.
Black Index Finger, who had been quiet all this while, as if he wasn't used to being a guild leader, suddenly sighed and said, "Everyone, the 170,000 we have is actually just a theoretical number. As for the actual situation, I've asked people to look around. We have more than 800 guilds, and more than half of them are beginner guilds. Some of them don't even have 50 people. Many of them are around Level 30, and some are even wearing white equipment. Of these 170,000 people, not all of them are as elite as the members of Unhindered and Singing To Wine. It's hard to say whether or not a portion of them can be counted as combat power in this battle. I'm sure everyone has a rough idea of the strength of the system guards. They are quite strong. If we were to fight them one on one, I'm afraid that no one here would dare to say that they would definitely win, right? "
"Yes!" Everyone nodded. Unsworn Sword didn't say anything. He had really fought one on one just now, and if it wasn't for the support of a few Clerics, he would have really lost.
"However, I think that Brother Unsworn's suggestion is very good. I think we should seriously investigate the members. If they aren't strong enough, we might as well not let them participate in the battle. Otherwise, it might cause problems in our coordination." Black Index Finger said.
"That's true, but I don't know if these people are willing!" Unsworn Sword said.
As soon as he said this, the other guild leaders all sighed. They were all guild leaders, so they understood the difficulty. Their levels were low, and they were weak, but they were still players. To put it bluntly, they were on the same level as the Five Roaches. If they were willing to follow the arrangement and not cause trouble, it was considered reasonable. However, if they refused to comply and wanted to play in this city war, there was really no reason to stop them.
Black Index Finger laughed and said, "There are a total of four gates in the main city. We'll focus on one gate, and the other three gates are empty. Those who are not willing to cooperate with us can go play in the other gates. Even now, there are still many guilds who are not willing to cooperate with us, and are trying to find their own way in the other gates, right? "
Both Sword of Unsworn and Against the Current felt their hearts skip a beat. Black Index Finger's meaning was clear. On the surface, it was to reduce the number of members and get rid of all the slackers. However, it seemed like it was trying to concentrate as many points as possible in the hands of these people! Anyone with a bit of knowledge could see that in order to take down this city, everyone had to work together. A guild with only a thousand or so people would not be able to do much on their own. Moreover, other than these five guilds, there were no guilds with thousands of people in Cloud City.
"Everyone, don't worry. You can leave this task to us. We, Black Hand, came from a mercenary group, so we know quite a lot of people, "Black Index Finger said.
"What do you think?" Against the Current looked at the others.
Only then did Unsworn Sword realize why Countercurrent had gathered so many people to the resurrection point to pick him up. Actually, it was because they did not want too many people to talk. Right now, the ones who had come were all the guild leaders of the conference, so they avoided the guild leaders of the smaller guilds. They just needed to decide on the plan, and then those people would follow along.
"I have no objections." Unchung Mutsu was the first to express his opinion. Following that, quite a few other guild leaders agreed with Black Index Finger. In the end, Unsworn Sword and Against the Current also nodded in agreement. With that, the matter was settled. Black Index Finger immediately left to gather manpower and conduct a detailed selection of the people before him.
"Guild leader Unsworn." At this time, Unchung Mutsu came to Unsworn Sword's side and pulled him.
Unsworn Sword saw that he had something to say, so he did not reply. Instead, he sent a message to him, "What is it?"
"Don't you think that Black Index Finger came prepared?" Unchung Mutsu said.
"What do you mean?"
"There are thousands of guilds in Cloud City, and we have 820 here. Out of the 820 guild leaders, how many names have you called? "Unchung Mutsu asked.
"This … there are probably only a few dozen of them!" Unsworn Sword reacted after answering the question. Previously, when Against the Current discussed with him, he said that he wanted to contact all the guilds in Cloud City, and Unsworn Sword did his best. However, the guild leaders that he knew were at least level 4 or 5 guilds. How could he know those newly formed, beginner guilds? But now that more than half of the 800 guilds were small guilds, how did he contact them? Who knew so many small guild leaders? Against the Current, or was it Black Index Finger? No matter who it was, to be able to gather so many small guilds in an instant, this person must have prepared beforehand. At the very least, they must have gone to the guild building to prepare for class and memorized the information of all the guilds and guild leaders in Cloud City. To be willing to put in so much effort, they must be planning something big in this city war.
"For this Black Index Finger to dare to take on this task, he must know at least a few hundred guild leaders, right? Even if he came from a mercenary group, his connections shouldn't reach this level, right? Actually, his so-called connections are similar to ours, just a bit more famous, and more people know us. But on the other hand, we don't really know much, "Unchung Mutsu said.
"Yes, what you said makes sense. This guy, it seems like he wants to do something big, "Unsworn Sword said.
"We need to be more careful," Unchung Mutsu said.
"Yes, I wonder if that Against the Current kid knows about it," Unsworn Sword said.
"Hard to say, maybe they've been working together for a long time. Otherwise, who would call so many small guilds in the first place? You only know a few dozen guilds, and so do I. Especially these small guilds, I can't call them. "Unchung Mutsu said.
"Yes, I really didn't notice this at first," Unsworn Sword nodded his head. He realized that after winning the competition and completing the chain quest, Reigning The Four Seas seemed to be a bit too arrogant. They didn't put anyone else in their eyes, and they thought that the championship was already in their bag. When he thought about how Against the Current, Black Index Finger, or all of them had made such detailed preparations for this city war, Unsworn Sword felt very uneasy. He really wondered if he had fallen into a trap. When he thought of a trap, Unsworn Sword subconsciously wanted to look for Han Family Young Master, but this time, Han Family Young Master didn't appear with Against the Current.
He didn't appear, but the message still arrived … Unsworn Sword thought. It was the same to think positively or negatively of this matter. As long as he was willing, he could create a bunch of illusions to comfort himself or scare himself.
The attack at the North Gate temporarily came to a halt, and Against the Current shut his mouth about the wave of probing that his guild should have. Unsworn Sword wanted to see what this guy was planning, so he didn't say anything and pretended to disappear. At the same time, he kept in touch with Time's Reflection to see if there were any discoveries. At the same time, he was also thinking about the details of what happened here.
The player army didn't move, and Gu Fei and Sword Demon were so lonely that they stood under the city gate and yawned. They didn't make it in time to catch White and Black, and the second wave of attack was all from Against the Four Seas. They were waiting for the third wave, but the players still didn't move.
"They're probably thinking about how to deal with it. I don't think this city is going to be easy," Sword Demon said, "The wave of stone attacks just now was really dense. There was no way to dodge."
"It's just too fake. A stone as big as a head, falling from such a high wall and hitting your head, won't you die?" Gu Fei said.
"You can't say that. Everyone in the game isn't an ordinary person. They're all strong warriors. Anyone who gets smashed to death is an ordinary person," Sword Demon said.
"Hmm, that's true. If it was me, I wouldn't die either." Gu Fei didn't think he was an ordinary person.
The players did not move for a long time. The two of them were thinking if they should find a way to sneak into the crowd of players. In any case, the players would definitely not be able to guess that they were actually spies from the system. While they were discussing, they suddenly heard a creaking sound coming from the entrance beside them. The two of them turned around and looked at the entrance. They saw a person pushing a two-wheeled wooden cart laboriously towards the entrance. The closer they got, the more the two of them could see each other's faces, and they were both shocked.
"Little Ray!!!!" Gu Fei and Sword Demon said in unison.
In front of the two of them was the first celebrity in Cloud City to become famous throughout the parallel world, the owner of Little Ray's Bar, Comrade Little Ray. And Little Ray also recognized the two great generals of Childe Elite Group who had been occupying his bar all year round.
"Qianli? Sword Ghost? "There was a look of surprise on Xiaolei's face as he called out their names.
Sword Demon reacted quickly to things related to the game and immediately asked, "You also have a camp?"
After hearing this, Little Ray was startled, "How did you know?" But then a look of realization appeared on his face, "You two also have a camp, so this city war was left in the city??"
"Yes! Which camp are you in? "Sword Demon quickly asked.
"The Commercial Trade Alliance. What about the two of you? "Little Ray asked.
"I'm in the Assassin Alliance, he … doesn't know," Sword Demon said.
"Doesn't know?" Little Ray was puzzled.
Gu Fei was embarrassed, "I joined in muddleheadedly, no one told me this was a camp in advance! I didn't know who to ask afterwards. "
"Little Ray, how did you join this camp?" Sword Demon asked. Although Sword Demon wasn't Brother You, he would also study the game settings, just not as crazy as Brother You.
"I'm also confused. Once I went to the Commercial Association to accept a mission, and suddenly they sent me a document saying that I'm a member of the Commercial Trade Alliance," Little Ray said.
"Huh? You also do missions? "Gu Fei interrupted. He was quite surprised, he thought that Little Ray was stationed in Little Ray's Bar 24 hours a day.
"Once in a while," Little Ray said.
"What's the reward for the camp?" Sword Demon asked.
"The tax paid by the tavern is 20% lower than before," Little Ray said.
"This …" In the eyes of Sword Demon, such a reward was even worse than garbage, then he asked, "Is there no skill type?"
"Skill? I chose a bartending recipe. Where's Gongzi? I haven't seen him for a long time. "This was the most extraordinary thing about Little Ray. Compared to everyone who hated the Han Family Young Master, he really liked this person. Most tavern owners loved drunkards.
"He … is outside the city now!" Sword Demon said.
"Come to my place when you have time! I'm the only one in the city who has this new wine, even the system tavern doesn't have it, "Little Ray said excitedly.
"Is that so?" Gu Fei responded, then patted the big barrel on Little Ray's wooden cart and said, "What's this?"
Little Ray said, "Isn't this city war to divide the sphere of influence? My friends and I, who were also opening shops in the city, came to the conclusion that the area of influence was closely related to our shop, so we formed a temporary guild to participate in the city war. As a result, I was thrown into the city by myself as soon as I came online. I looked everywhere but couldn't find anyone. I sent a message to my friends saying that they were enemies, so I couldn't send it. Later, I ran to the business association, and they sent me a mission to transport military supplies to the front. "
"Military supplies? What is it? "Gu Fei patted the barrel again, and as he patted, he put his head on it to listen," It sounds like water. "
"There's a cover." Sword Demon pointed to the barrel.
Gu Fei immediately wanted to take a look, and Little Ray was anxious, "Hey, hey, the quest item, don't break it."
"I'm just looking, how can it break?" Gu Fei said as he lifted it, and his face turned red. He loosened his hand and said, "I can't lift it."
Little Ray let out a sigh of relief. He was afraid that these two guys would do something again, so he pushed the cart around them and said, "I'll send it to the quest location first, and then I'll talk to you guys when I come back."
"Go ahead!" Gu Fei waved his hand to let them go.
Little Ray pushed his wooden cart away, and Sword Demon suddenly said to Gu Fei, "I have a quest, Little Ray also has a quest, and maybe your camp also has a quest."
"Well, that's right. I don't know what's going on here, and there's no movement for a long time. I'll go to the city to see if there's a quest." Gu Fei said.
"Okay!"
Gu Fei said as he entered the city again. His wanted license was issued by the Wanted Quest Office, so his camp should be related to this organization. Gu Fei's heart was a little cold. His camp couldn't be a jailer or a catcher, right? What kind of camp was this? It didn't have any spirit at all. Six Fan School? It couldn't be called that in the game!
As Gu Fei thought about it, he arrived at the Wanted Quest Office. Pushing open the door, he was greeted by a familiar scene. However, as soon as he spoke to the NPC, the latter informed him that this was a matter of life and death for the city. He no longer had the energy to pay attention to such petty crimes. He needed to find something more meaningful.
Besides this place, Gu Fei thought about it, and the only place that had an intersection with his quest was the main city's council hall, so he walked towards the council hall. This was a place that ordinary players had no right to enter, and Gu Fei was easily let go after showing his wanted license. Gu Fei walked around the hall twice, and remembered the incident in Xiayu City. That person seemed to be from the Guard? After thinking of this, Gu Fei grabbed a guard, asked where the Guard was, and walked over there.

[Butterfly Knot: Some students have reported that there was a calculation error before, and the guild was written as 82. Butterfly looked at his own Word document, there were 820 guilds, and I don't know why a 0 disappeared. Here's a statement, 170,000 people, 820 guilds, 82 is impossible. On average, each guild needs 2000 people, and the highest level 6 guild is 1050 people. Even if all 82 guilds are level 6, there are only 80,000 people, not to mention there are only five level 6 guilds in Cloud City.]
