Chapter 618 Like a Hot Knife Through Butter!! (Urgently Seeking Recommendation Tickets!!)
Armored siege catapults posed a significant threat to the Golden Land Dragon and the Darkwing Dragon.
Nie Yan finished chanting a spell and recalled the Golden Land Dragon. At this time, the Darkwing Dragon had already entered the attack range of the armored siege catapults.
With a command from Kuang Fa, fifteen iron projectiles flew into the sky, drawing arcs in the air as they poured down towards the Darkwing Dragon.
Nie Yan nervously controlled the Darkwing Dragon to dodge, and the Darkwing Dragon flapped its wings, darting to the side.
One after another, iron projectiles roared down from the sky. Boom, boom, boom! Five or six iron projectiles landed on the nearby buildings, and after exploding, flames soared into the sky, turning these buildings into ruins. Other iron projectiles landed on the streets, smashing terrifyingly deep pits in them.
Three red-hot iron projectiles struck the Darkwing Dragon's chest and shoulders. The Darkwing Dragon let out a pained cry, and patches of its skin were scorched black by the iron projectiles. The tremendous impact from the iron projectiles forced it to retreat. The Darkwing Dragon suffered minor damage and seemed somewhat afraid of the powerful armored siege catapults.
When the armored siege catapults arrived, the Mages Alliance players around the Darkwing Dragon quickly ran into the nearby alleys to avoid being caught in the crossfire. However, many players still died under the bombardment of the armored siege catapults.
"The armored siege catapults continue to advance, bombard the Darkwing Dragon to death, everyone charge!" Seeing that the iron projectiles of the armored siege catapults were effective against the Darkwing Dragon, Kuang Fa clenched his fist and shouted excitedly.
If they could take down Crazy Thief Nie Yan's Darkwing Dragon, they would be in the money!
The armored siege catapults advanced forward, launching iron projectiles, and the powerful firepower suppressed them.
Seeing that the Darkwing Dragon was about to be hit by more than a dozen iron projectiles, Nie Yan leaped up, jumped to a relatively stable spot on the roof, shortened the distance with the Darkwing Dragon, and issued an order to the Darkwing Dragon. The Darkwing Dragon flapped its wings, soared into the air, and flew up rapidly.
With a loud bang, the fifteen iron projectiles landed where the Darkwing Dragon had been standing, instantly turning it into a scene of devastation, with a deep pit of more than thirty yards in radius.
This was the terror of the armored siege catapults. If the Darkwing Dragon had taken so many attacks at the same time, it would have lost half its life even if it didn't die.
The Darkwing Dragon was an aerial combat unit. If it swooped down from the air, few combat units could withstand its attacks. However, on land, if it was completely suppressed by armored siege catapults, the Darkwing Dragon would not be able to exert its due combat power at all and could easily be blasted to death by artillery fire.
The Mages Alliance even brought out armored siege catapults. I have to leave quickly, Nie Yan couldn't help thinking. If something happened to the Darkwing Dragon, it would be a huge loss.
At the moment when the Darkwing Dragon soared into the air, Nie Yan leaped up and jumped onto the back of the Darkwing Dragon, steering the Darkwing Dragon to fly rapidly upwards.
As soon as the Darkwing Dragon flew into the air, the nearby arrow towers aimed at the Darkwing Dragon, and dense arrows covered it. Many arrows, because the distance was too far, did not have enough force when they flew halfway and were fanned away by the Darkwing Dragon's wings.
Dozens of arrows struck the Darkwing Dragon, and the arrowheads touched the Darkwing Dragon's hard, iron-like skin, making a crisp ding-ding-ding sound, like nails shot into a steel plate, and fell from the air one after another.
Too far away, these crossbow arrows could no longer exert the power of a powerful shot.
Nie Yan looked back and saw that Kuang Fa and others were getting farther and farther away. Once the Darkwing Dragon was in the sky, there were not many units that could pose a threat to it.
"Sorry, I'll take my leave!" Nie Yan revealed a playful smile. This time, the Mages Alliance suffered a big loss. Make a profit and run, this was Nie Yan's consistent style.
Seeing the Darkwing Dragon fly away from the attack range of the siege catapults and arrow towers, carrying Nie Yan farther and farther away, and finally disappearing into the sky, Kuang Fa was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. He didn't expect that Crazy Thief Nie Yan would still get away like this.
"Sun, Wang Zhe, you all come back," Nie Yan said in the voice chat. It was time to withdraw from Aegerton Fortress.
Sun, Wang Zhe Tian Xia, and others continued to take down a few Mages Alliance players before using random teleport scrolls one after another to leave Aegerton Fortress.
They left safely one by one, leaving behind a scene of broken walls and ruins.
The news that Nie Yan, Sun, and others had left safely was immediately sent to the guild chat of Asskickers United, and the players of Asskickers United were relieved. Their boss and the others had finally returned safely.
Soon, the news that Nie Yan and others had wantonly slaughtered in Aegerton Fortress and finally left safely spread throughout the entire Greenland Empire like wildfire. The forums were full of bright red titles such as "The God of War Returns - Crazy Thief Nie Yan Slaughters the City!", "The Lost Mages Alliance!", "The Shame of the Mages Alliance - On the Slaughter of Aegerton Fortress!"...
Posts of this kind filled the entire network. For the Mages Alliance, this incident was an indelible shame. The videos spread on the Internet made it difficult for all Mages Alliance players to face it. In this incident, the number of casualties in the Mages Alliance reached 1,300, including the guild leader of the Mages Alliance, Kuang Fa, who was killed twice in a row, and the leader of Sacred Guardians, Holy Flame, who was killed once. If such an incident happened in the wild, it wouldn't be anything surprising, but Aegerton Fortress was the base camp of the Mages Alliance, the most heavily defended place of the Mages Alliance. Crazy Thief Nie Yan actually entered it as if it were his own home, and so many people were killed. It was a huge loss of face.
The video evidence was irrefutable, allowing the Mages Alliance no room for any rebuttal.
The players could see that although the Mages Alliance had a large number of people, there were too many mediocre people. As for Asskickers United, almost all of them were elites chosen from a thousand. Not to mention Brilliant Cutlass, Smoke Stub, Undying Scoundrel, and other characters, just the five people who appeared today, if you randomly picked one of them, could the Mages Alliance and Sacred Guardians find a thief who could match them?
This was a real gap. If a master player performed well, it wouldn't be difficult to take down thousands of opponents. Just like Wang Zhe Tian Xia back then, he single-handedly ambushed and played to death more than a thousand Bloodlust Blades players. How much combat power did the 60,000 people of Asskickers United have? That still needed to be carefully examined. And how much water was in the 700,000 troops of the Mages Alliance and Sacred Guardians? That was hard to say.
The players couldn't help but ponder, the strength of a guild was not measured by the number of people.
The Mages Alliance had been branded with the label of shame, and Aegerton Fortress had become an indelible stain on them, to the extent that players began to doubt the strength of the Mages Alliance and Sacred Guardians. The players of the Mages Alliance also developed some pessimistic emotions and their morale was low.
Kuang Fa was extremely anxious after learning about this situation, but he didn't have any way to solve it.
Asskickers United took advantage of the situation. A day later, the Froststeel Siege Catapults of Asskickers United were driven outside the Dannells Fortress of the Mages Alliance. 60,000 troops pressed the border, and they kept bombarding the city wall with Froststeel Siege Catapults. The 100,000 troops of the Mages Alliance in the fortress did not dare to rush out and were trapped inside the city wall. The power of the Froststeel Siege Catapults also frightened the players of the Mages Alliance. Fifteen Froststeel Siege Catapults, this was simply a devastating force. They could hear the city wall trembling and groaning under the dense bombardment in the city.
The Mages Alliance was simply useless to the extreme. They were being suppressed and beaten by Asskickers United, but they shrank in the city and didn't dare to come out, and they had completely lost their prestige.
On the side of Asskickers United, it was controlled by Ballad of Knights. He was quite adept at commanding troops. Under his command, after nearly two hours of intense bombardment, the city wall of Dannells Fortress collapsed.
Seeing such a large gap in the city wall, Asskickers United could completely rush into the city, but Smoke Stub was not in a hurry. He let the fifteen Froststeel Siege Catapults advance little by little, spending several hours completely flattening the city wall and arrow towers, and then the troops pressed over little by little, leaving the players of the Mages Alliance with no chance to fight back.
This kind of positional warfare relying on powerful long-range firepower was the most unsolvable. The Mages Alliance had suffered all the hardships.
After seven hours, the Dannells Fortress of the Mages Alliance was razed to the ground. There was only a ruin left in the city. No buildings like shops were left, and nearly a quarter of the city wall had fallen. After abandoning nearly 10,000 corpses, all the people of the Mages Alliance evacuated from the teleportation array.
This was a glorious victory. Except for a few unlucky guys who were shot to death by the crossbow arrows of the arrow tower, Asskickers United basically suffered no damage. The casualties remained within double digits.
After taking down Dannells Fortress, Asskickers United was even more high-spirited. The fifteen Froststeel Siege Catapults rushed to the other cities of the Mages Alliance without stopping.
The troops of Asskickers United were like an irresistible torrent, attacking cities and conquering fortresses, and they were invincible. They encountered the interception of the Mages Alliance and Sacred Guardians troops on the way, but those people quickly disintegrated under the dense bombardment of the Froststeel Siege Catapults.
Everything was developing in a good direction. While paying attention to the battle situation there, Nie Yan commanded the overall situation, mobilizing the troops of the Holy Roman Empire, War God Tribe, and other guilds to put pressure on the other fortresses of the Mages Alliance.
The Mages Alliance had a total of twenty-one fortresses, five of which fell into the hands of Asskickers United, one was destroyed, and three others were dragged into a mixed battle. The entire City of Moonlight had become a chaotic battlefield.
The Mages Alliance was retreating steadily, and the situation was very good. Although Asskickers United was not as numerous as the Mages Alliance and Sacred Guardians, they were united and had high morale. In such a huge war, morale was very important.
"Is there any movement from the Mages Alliance?" Nie Yan looked at Guo Huai and asked. Asskickers United had already reached their doorstep. The Mages Alliance couldn't just be passively beaten all the time. They would definitely launch a counterattack.
"The Mages Alliance is shrinking its defenses and reinforcing the city wall of Aegerton Fortress. It is estimated that they want to fight us to the death under the city of Aegerton Fortress!" Guo Huai said, looking at the data reported from various places, his mood also relaxed a lot.
