Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 2045 Defensive Puppet Appears
"Just them?"
Mu Yun looked at Qiguang and the others heading straight for the main gate, her beautiful eyes full of surprise, not understanding what Shi Feng was doing.
Although she had seen the strength of Qiguang and others, individual strength was nothing in the face of a guild war. The effect of a top expert was not even as good as an ordinary Tier 2 Elementalist. After all, Tier 2 Elementalists had some mastery of group attack magic, which was quite lethal on the battlefield. If they mastered large-scale destruction magic, that would be even better.
She felt like Shi Feng was joking with her.
"Don't worry, Qiguang and the others are very strong." Shi Feng smiled faintly, then said, "This place is too remote, let's go to the main gate to see what's happening."
Mu Yun was speechless, but it was indeed necessary to take a good look at the situation.
...
On the city wall of Xiyue Town's main gate, a large number of Hundred Flowers Palace members were waiting in full battle array, anxiously waiting for the Star Ring army that was slowly approaching in formation.
Faced with this battle for the survival of Hundred Flowers Palace, even seasoned veterans could not help but feel nervous.
Just as Fei Xin was observing every move on the battlefield, Shi Feng and Mu Yun also walked onto the city wall.
"Guild Leader Ye Feng, you've arrived." Fei Xin looked at Shi Feng and the others who had walked over and said, "Judging from the current situation, Star Ring plans to attack head-on. They don't intend for the armies on all sides to attack together. It seems they plan to trap us all in Xiyue Town and wipe us out."
"Damn Star Ring, they dare to underestimate us, thinking they can easily eliminate us with just a portion of their strength?" A middle-aged executive of Hundred Flowers Palace said angrily.
Although Star Ring's formation was alarming, Xiyue Town also had some war weapons, eight goblin cannons and four catapults, all set up in key defensive positions. They were just waiting for an order to attack simultaneously with the turrets, so they were not without a chance of fighting back.
However, Mu Yun, who had walked over, did not feel any anger at Star Ring's underestimation, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.
It was true that Star Ring was underestimating them, but Star Ring did have the capital to underestimate their Hundred Flowers Palace.
Moreover, facing only sixty large heavy crossbows this time was undoubtedly much easier than facing hundreds of large heavy crossbows at the same time.
"They've deployed sixty large heavy crossbows?" Shi Feng glanced at the approaching army, not feeling surprised.
Large heavy crossbows were inherently a huge expense, because attacks would cause durability loss. This time, Star Ring was dealing with Xiyue Town mainly to make an example, to show everyone else. Since sixty large heavy crossbows could handle the job, there was naturally no need to deploy all of them.
Moreover, with the full-speed movement of large heavy crossbows, turrets were difficult to hit beyond a thousand yards. The range of large heavy crossbows was 1300 yards, so as long as they moved between 1000 yards and 1300 yards, the turrets would not pose much of a threat, while the large heavy crossbows could exert their effect.
With Xiyue Town's defense level, sixty large heavy crossbows were more than enough.
Not long after Shi Feng walked onto the city wall, a loud shout came from the turret not far away.
"Vice Guild Leader! The army has entered the turret's range!"
As the voice sounded, everyone in the Hundred Flowers Palace on the entire city wall became extremely nervous, all looking at Fei Xin standing on the edge of the city wall.
Entering the turret's range meant that the war had begun!
"Attack! Prioritize shooting at areas with concentrated crowds!" Fei Xin took a deep breath and ordered.
Suddenly, all the turrets and war weapons launched their attacks simultaneously.
The sound of explosions echoed throughout Xiyue Town.
Boom, boom, boom...
All the attacks exploded in mid-air just as they were about to hit the Star Ring army's ranks, as if blocked by an invisible wall.
"This is..." Fei Xin looked at the invisible wall above the Star Ring army and her face darkened slightly, "A defensive magic array?"
Defensive magic arrays were generally divided into two types: town defensive magic arrays and wilderness defensive magic arrays.
Wilderness defensive magic arrays were very rare because they could be used anytime, anywhere. They were like artifacts in guild wars. So far, their Hundred Flowers Palace had not obtained even one, let alone a whole set. Town defensive magic arrays were different; they could only be used inside towns, so there were more of them. It was not very difficult for first-rate guilds to obtain them.
The Star Ring Guild was currently using a wilderness defensive magic array.
"Hahaha, did you really think we, Star Ring, would let you attack us without any preparation?" Lu Xingluo, who was observing from a high slope, laughed. "Pass down the order, as long as the large heavy crossbows enter the range, give them a good beating! Let them know what the consequences are for being enemies with Star Ring!"
"Yes!" Suoluo immediately began to transmit the order.
On the battlefield, the Star Ring army moved very quickly and entered the 1300-yard range in just a short while.
"Attack!"
Suddenly, sixty large heavy crossbows attacked simultaneously, and sixty huge arrows transformed into scorching hot arrows, flying towards Xiyue Town.
Boom, boom, boom!
A series of explosions and bursts rang out in the sky above Xiyue Town. Even the defensive magic array that could withstand Tier 3 attacks showed a trace of fragmentation under such a fierce attack, obviously consuming a lot of the magic array's energy.
This made the people of Hundred Flowers Palace anxious.
Defensive magic arrays had energy limits. Once the energy was exhausted, they would naturally disappear. Normal attacks could generally be sustained for a long time, but if facing attacks that could cause the defensive barrier to shatter, it meant that the defensive magic array might not last much longer.
Without the support of the defensive magic array, they would have to face the attacks of the large heavy crossbows.
At this time, not only were the members of Hundred Flowers Palace shocked by the attacks of the large heavy crossbows, but the players in Xiyue Town were also stunned by the effect of the large heavy crossbows, especially the lurkers of various forces.
They didn't expect that large heavy crossbows had a bonus effect on the attack of defensive magic arrays, which was tantamount to a disaster for the various forces.
"As expected, it's difficult for a beginner-level defensive magic array to block the attacks of large heavy crossbows." Shi Feng looked at the cracks in the sky, then turned to Qiguang, Canyun, Silent Blade, and Mang Gu, and instructed, "It's your turn to take action. Be careful of those heavy crossbow attacks!"
"Yes!"
Qiguang and the others revealed excited expressions and jumped off the city wall, rushing towards the Star Ring army.
"What are they doing?"
"They're not crazy, are they!"
"No, they don't seem to be from Hundred Flowers Palace. Looking at their emblem, they seem to be from Zero Wing Guild."
Whether they were Star Ring players or players watching from afar, they were all shocked as they looked at the four people rushing towards the army.
"Are the people from Zero Wing scared silly and trying to escape?" Lu Xingluo looked at Qiguang and the others, and sneered, "Pass down my order, don't let them go even if they're stupid. Bomb these four people for me!"
"Yes!"
As Lu Xingluo gave the order, the four large heavy crossbows that were originally going to attack Xiyue Town directly launched an attack on Qiguang and the other three.
Suddenly, four arrows transformed into four red beams, piercing through the air's resistance and directly slamming into Qiguang and the others.
Just as the four red beams were about to arrive in front of the four, four huge figures suddenly appeared, and then the four red beams stopped an inch in front of the four huge figures.
"How could this be?"
Everyone was stunned as they looked at the four huge figures.
The four arrows, as huge as large trees, were actually caught in the hands of four huge mechanical puppets...
