MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter
Chapter 1162 - Chapter 1162 Chapter 1162 No Pressure

Chapter 1162: Chapter 1162: No Pressure Chapter 1162: Chapter 1162: No Pressure Players were utterly terrified by the sight before them, it was a massacre, pure and simple. The legion they had formed together, though initially just cannon fodder, didn’t even catch a glimpse of the city’s walls before they were entirely wiped out. This wasn’t a battle; it was a slaughter feast.

In fact, the one who most felt like coughing up blood was the Gryphon Lord. Although he had anticipated this situation and knew how terrifying the defenses he had personally arranged were, seeing it with his own eyes was a first for him too.

After becoming the lord of this city, although he had fought many great battles with the Black Heart Lord, he had never laid siege to a city. However, today, he witnessed the strength of his city, yet he was the one kept outside, which was agonizing beyond measure.

What pained him even more was that these formidable defenses were the very reason he felt secure enough to leave. Yet, the enemy had taken the city without the walls playing any role at all.

Li Yao could clearly see the incredulous expressions on the faces of players in the distance, which was no surprise to him.

Nowadays, players followed regular armies in warfare, attacking only small or medium-sized cities and strongholds – a completely different concept from besieging a large city.

It was the double disparities in weapons and ranks that led to this result.

Of course, such defenses were not invincible.

For instance, Li Yao chose to attack from underground, working to undermine their defenses from within.

Moreover, many troop types could disregard his artillery’s suppression, and this was what Li Yao steadfastly believed: there was no perfect legion, nor impregnable defense.

Li Yao remembered something – in his previous life, a player obtained a piece of the Guardian Power of the Black Dragon King’s death’s wings, which had been ripped from the Power of Earth Guardian.

Using this fragment as the core of the city, fused with the core of the Wind Element Lord, they constructed a Sky City that soared through the heavens.

With this fragment, he founded a guild and rapidly grew in strength.

This city, protected by Earth Power, was called a moving, unbreakable fortress. The guild used its flying city to expand its might through conquests in all directions.

Eventually, the player became so arrogant that he dared to challenge the three major factions, ultimately betraying the Light Faction, and swiftly seizing three of its large cities while the Light Faction was still unresponsive. At that time, his power was sky-high, claimed to be the first guild of the ancient gods, with no guild daring to openly defy him.

Because of his betrayal, he could attack any guild without declaring war, and one such super guild was crushed by the city that fell from the sky.

The super guild, furious, united with several other super guilds and enemies of the betrayer’s guild to form a United Army said to number fifty million.

They used a powerful scroll and Array to trap the city on a plain, after which the fifty million-strong army laid siege to the city, which was far more powerful than the one Li Yao now occupied.

The fifty million players besieged the city for ten days, and not only did they fail to breach it, but they were also slaughtered to the point of utter defeat.

This became the undying city’s most glorious battle and was hailed as a divine city by players, a city that even gods supposedly could not conquer.

The president of the guild, who was also the founder of the city, established a new faction, calling upon players to join and create a powerful front that could stand against NPCs.

Following that earth-shattering battle in the ancient game world, it’s no wonder that many players directly joined the faction, and with their numerical advantage, they rapidly expanded their territory to cover five maps, equivalent to the range of a main city, indeed establishing what could be called a main city.

However, on the very day his main city was established, skies were filled with airships and fighters.

Countless artillery shells and explosives poured down like raindrops.

The King of the Light Faction finally responded, sending troops. After eight continuous hours of bombing, the city’s indestructible barrier finally showed a breach due to energy supply issues.

Then, hordes of Royal Gryphons and the Dwarven Mechanical Puppet Legion invaded the city, destroying its core within half an hour.

This once glorious city finally fell, and the players who had broken away from the faction were branded as traitors, with no choice but to join minor powers and cult organizations, or else they had nowhere to replenish their supplies.

Li Yao knew that nothing was ever perfect, there were many ways to break through defences–it was just that players had not thought of them or had not met the necessary conditions.

After an army of five hundred thousand cannon fodder failed to approach the city, players were utterly bewildered, thinking, “What the hell is this game?”

In such a situation, even sending one’s own elite legion would be a death sentence.

And with the enemy’s sinister wasps that could instantly turn legions traitorous, who would dare let their Gryphons loose? It would be like handing over an army on a silver platter.

Therefore, no matter how much the Gryphon Lord promised, the players refused to go themselves.

Left with no other choice, the Gryphon Lord had to send his own Mechanical Puppet Legion to lead the charge and constructed several terrifying platforms before the city walls, as tall as the walls themselves.

Gatling guns were mounted on these cloud platforms to suppress the city wall’s firepower.

Casualties finally appeared on Li Yao’s side, and players took the chance to join some elite legions. Many players, relying on invincible skills, got to the cloud platforms and then released their own legions.

“Lord, the Combined Legion has proven its loyalty to you; they showed no hesitation or mercy against the Gryphon Lord,” Collet knelt on one knee before Li Yao. Knowing Li Yao’s tactics, he wished for Li Yao to deploy troops.

“I have seen, and I have felt,” Li Yao waved his hand, “Blade, command the Self Detonating Wasps to dismantle those platforms for me.”

These platforms were in the blind spots of the fortress cannons, indestructible without the cooperation of other legions.

“Has this Lord gone mad? He knows he is bound to lose,” said the Black Dragon Queen beside Li Yao, bloody from battle.

“It’s just his unwillingness to submit. He’s still very cunning. The fact that you personally chased him and he’s still alive proves his mettle,” Li Yao commented as he saw the Black Dragon Queen’s disgruntlement.

“Hmph, if it weren’t for his subordinates and puppets, he would have died a hundred times over by now. I didn’t expect there to be Combined Puppets, but I’ve dismantled them. Now he’s fled to the Mage Legion, otherwise…”

Li Yao chuckled, “The reason I haven’t used my full strength is to give them hope of winning, which draws out their reserves. More corpses on the battlefield mean more energy for my pool to convert. By now, it probably has reached its limit.”

“My lord, over one hundred and fifty thousand Mages are preparing a massive spell at the foot of the mountain. Estimates suggest the spell might reach the power level of an intermediate-level forbidden spell,” a Dark Ranger reported, descending from the sky.

“Indeed, they still had hidden tactics. I knew it,” Li Yao’s eyes flashed, “Let’s go, we’ll eradicate these one hundred and fifty thousand Mages first.”…
