Shengjing City region.
Zhao Lei, Gao Kai, and many others.
Leading all members of the Reverse God Alliance's elite corps.
Assembled at the coordinates provided by Chu Tian.
They proceeded towards a towering city wall a thousand meters away.
That fortress was the first one Chu Tian intended to capture.
It was also the base Chu Tian planned to relocate the guild's headquarters to.
This fortress was located south of Shengjing City.
It was the closest fortress to the combat zone boundary.
And it was one of the four high-level fortresses in the Shengjing City region.
It would be more accurate to say that three of the four high-level fortresses belonged to Shengjing City, while one was half within Shengjing City's territory and the other half in Four Seasons City.
"What is boss doing? Isn't he commanding this battle?" Zhao Lei gazed into the distance.
The fortress had indeed sprung up from the ground,
but it was still covered by a layer of golden light.
That color symbolized an invincibility shield.
The system countdown refreshed continuously.
With three minutes left, the Fortress Domination event was about to begin.
All fortress invincibility shields would disappear simultaneously.
Chu Tian had already set his target for the first fortress to be attacked.
It was the one right before their eyes.
Actually... normally, one should capture a low-level fortress first, then move the guild headquarters out.
And then develop steadily, attacking other fortresses.
This highest-level fortress currently had NPC city defenses that were countless times more powerful than a beginner fortress.
At the same time, the height of the city walls and their durability were simply incomparable.
Zhao Lei and a few others, hearing Zhao Lei's words, shook their heads.
They had no idea what Chu Tian was doing at this critical juncture.
Chu Tian had just sent a message, asking Gao Kai to command this battle, with Yezi handling the coordination.
Initially, everyone thought that their Guild Leader... Deshen would personally command this battle.
But now, seeing Chu Tian's absence, over thirty thousand elite members were whispering amongst themselves.
For such an important campaign, the Guild Leader wasn't even present.
Although the appointed commanders were justifiable, Gao Kai possessed extremely sharp instincts in PvP combat.
Despite being a Divine Priest... many in the guild couldn't defeat him in a one-on-one fight.
Previously, Zhao Lei was the overall commander for PvE.
Now, PvE aspects had been handed over to Guild Leader Yezi.
This siege battle also fell under the PvP category.
Without Chu Tian, Gao Kai naturally served as the overall commander, with Yezi assisting in personnel coordination.
However, the morale of the team at this moment was not good.
Ding... System prompt: Fortress Domination countdown: 30 seconds!
Ding... System prompt: Fortress Domination countdown: 10 seconds!
Ding... System prompt: Fortress Domination countdown: 5 seconds!
Ding... System prompt: Fortress Domination countdown: 1 second!
Ding... System prompt: Fortress Domination invincibility shield disappearing... A new world has dawned, warriors, charge forth...
"Brothers... Boss isn't here, but he must be doing something more important, and this matter will surely be earth-shattering. Here...
He handed it over to us, we cannot disappoint him!
Boss once said he would lead us to a life of prosperity and comfort.
Share meat when we eat, share wine when we drink.
And with girls... fend for yourselves..." Gao Kai, who wasn't usually talkative.
But seeing this moment, the morale was too low.
He feared that if they charged forward and due to the scattered minds of the team and delayed coordination,
they would suffer a wipeout again... which would be more detrimental than beneficial.
Thus, he braced himself and started to rally them...
Also, Gao Kai felt that the reason they couldn't lose this battle was because above their heads.
There were twenty to thirty things resembling aerial photography devices.
Further away, the personnel from the Heavenly Dao World's number one radio station, WCC, could be seen.
Those aerial photography devices were privileges WCC had obtained in the Heavenly Dao World.
A bird's-eye view, live broadcast...
Originally, in battles like this, as the main combatants, they could refuse to be broadcast.
WCC radio had previously inquired about their opinions.
Initially, everyone thought they should refuse.
However, Chu Tian had agreed.
He agreed to let WCC broadcast their battle footage live.
Of course, Chu Tian directly requested 70% of the broadcast revenue.
Miss Shi Zhenxiang, the principal host of WCC radio, almost spat blood.
After several negotiations, Chu Tian insisted on 70%, not one percent less.
Shi Zhenxiang had no choice but to report to her superiors, and surprisingly, they agreed.
Gao Kai stared at the sky, knowing...
This battle must be fought beautifully.
He knew that because of Chu Tian's reputation, too many people were paying attention to the Reverse God Alliance.
Gao Kai saw that the team's morale had recovered somewhat, though it hadn't reached its peak.
But it was acceptable, and he sighed inwardly.
Chu Tian was truly messing around...
He also felt that Chu Tian's absence this time was a mistake.
Gao Kai gave the order...
The troops moved out.
Three routes were first assigned to harass three sides of the city wall, so as to prevent all NPC armies from concentrating on one side.
Then, everyone prepared to attack the front.
Currently, siege equipment had not yet appeared.
Although Chu Tian had obtained the blueprints, manufacturing them also required time.
Currently, all guilds wanting to capture fortresses had to fight with genuine steel and flesh.
Siege catapults and siege ladders were essential items.
Only by climbing the city walls and entering the city,
clearing the NPC armies, and capturing the fortress control flag...
could the fortress be occupied under the guild's name.
...
Four Seasons City...
In the mountain valley where Chu Tian and his group were located.
Chu Tian stood with six people, naturally Maddeju and Chu Tian's five roommates.
And before them were four thousand Reverse God Alliance players.
Chu Tian looked at these players, their equipment was mismatched.
Some were even wearing white-grade equipment.
He sighed inwardly...
When had he, in his previous life, during his most miserable times,
been any different from them?
Even, perhaps he was worse off then.
No guild dared to shelter him.
He joined guilds several times, but soon that guild received threats from Huang Xueyi, or was even directly attacked.
In the end, no guild dared to take him in.
He was like a stray dog.
Under Huang Xueyi's shadow, he struggled to survive in the gaps.
He transitioned from a combat player to a life player.
Every day, he relied on some ore he dug up to exchange for small copper coins.
Then he sold the copper coins for instant noodles to survive.
Finally, he completed his rebirth quest.
In this life, he relied on his experience.
And gradually reached this point.
Who he should be most grateful to was Dao Tian.
But for some reason, in Chu Tian's heart, that fellow Dao Tian was an unreliable person.
Thinking of this, Chu Tian sighed.
"Brothers, I am incompetent, I haven't truly provided for all my brothers, with meat to eat and wine to drink.
But today, with the start of the Heavenly Dao World's domination, the true chapter begins.
The previous phase was merely to familiarize everyone with their professions and skills.
And leveling up... the so-called division between elite members and ordinary players is not that distinct.
Everyone will be able to participate...
It's just that the division of labor is different. The reason I called everyone here today.
Is actually for you to die... I feel guilty..."
Chu Tian's voice was not loud, carrying a hint of charisma, as he slowly spoke to this point.
