Chapter 1276 - Chapter 1276 Chapter 1276 Outer Harbor

Chapter 1276: Chapter 1276: Outer Harbor Chapter 1276: Chapter 1276: Outer Harbor Starfire’s second fleet was slowly consuming the remnants of the abandoned United Army’s armed merchant ships, while the main fleet of the United Army had already arrived at the harbor.

Meanwhile, the two guilds advancing by land, due to detours necessitated by the Assassin’s Hall’s interception, were significantly slowed and were still on their way.

The President of the Maize Guild watched the peaceful Sandy Harbor, without the slightest hint of war’s screams reaching him.

“Useless things, they haven’t even started the attack yet.”

“Should we wait?”

The President of the Maize Guild shook his head, “Don’t mind them. As long as we take over the harbor and this half of the city, we will be victorious. Proceed with the planned deployment.”

The fleet drew near the harbor, and a continuous stream of forces began to land. The anticipated sniper battle at the harbor did not occur.

Starfire’s harbor was divided into two areas. One part was the external dock area, which itself was divided into two parts: one for docking ships and temporary storage warehouses for cargo.

The other part was the gathering place for Frogmen and Murlocs, with most of the Frogman Prince’s tribe living here.

The second part of the harbor district was the walled area, considered part of the urban sector, where various races mingled, and it was also an entertainment area. It was the most bustling place besides the core district, with shops everywhere.

Now, almost all shops in the harbor district were closed, and Starfire’s forces were gathering. A legion led by Starfire players was stationed here, while the land was defended by Starfire’s NPC legion.

The fight in the harbor district was essentially a battle between Starfire’s players and the United Army’s players, a contest of the player and legion quality on both sides. The land battle was largely between the United Army’s players and Starfire’s NPC legion.

The external harbor now had only simple Frogman houses and some tools that couldn’t be moved; the rest of the cargo had long been transported to warehouses in the Inner City.

Originally, Cannons had been installed at the external harbor, but for some unknown reason, Starfire didn’t engage in a cannon battle with the enemy at the external harbor.

The audience was equally puzzled, analyzed by a Military Investigator, and became even more concerned about the outcome of the battle, bombarding Feng Yi’s live stream with inquiries as to why they gave up the defense systems of the external harbor. If they had mounted a defense there, it would have made it quite difficult for the enemy to land.

Feng Yi smiled and explained, “It’s simple. Starfire has discovered new trade routes and is about to establish new trade transportation lines. We are planning to build or buy armed merchant ships. Now, with so many armed merchant ships being delivered to our doorstep, if we struck at the periphery, many ships would be destroyed. These are merchant ships being gifted to us at no cost. Otherwise, why do you think the Starfire fleet has been fighting so conservatively?”

The audience was rendered speechless, deeply impressed by Starfire’s cunning. To this point, they hadn’t communicated with each other, whether it was between Feng Yi or between her and the female Pirate Commander. Their thinking was strikingly aligned.

Sister Li’s order was to let the fleet act as they saw fit, whether to wipe out or just make contact, which shows Sister Li’s confidence in Starfire’s defenses.

And the female Pirate was intent on demoralizing the enemy, then cannibalized about one-fifth of the United Army’s fleet, watching as the United Army attacked the harbor to capture the ships, likewise showing confidence in Starfire’s defenses.

It seems they all had an innate confidence in Starfire, which made the audience even more curious whether Starfire could really live up to their expectations.

“Regardless of what tricks they’re playing, but since they’re not defending and allowing us to land safely, that’s their biggest mistake,” the President of Maize Guild muttered as he watched the players land and quickly summoned their legions in the prearranged order.

To attack Starfire, the guilds had indeed put in their best efforts to rapidly compile and combine player forces.

The first legions summoned by the players that landed in the harbor district consisted of only two types, Abominations and Goblin Eaters.

It was easy to understand. Even though Abominations were cumbersome, their hooks could pull defending players down from the walls, and their tough hides were excellent for defending against magic and Arrows.

After summarization by the players, it was clear that Abominations were one of the most suitable Undead Series troop types for sieging in land warfare.

As for Goblin Eaters, when war mode started to rise, they were seen as cannon fodder, which was indeed the case. The Goblin Eaters’ claw attacks were weak against plate armor classes, and even though many people disliked using Goblin Eaters as cannon fodder due to their cost-effectiveness, they were left with no better options.

But a certain battle changed this perspective and made players realize just how to use Goblin Eaters effectively.

A large guild and a super guild had poor relations, and coincidentally, their chosen headquarters were near each other. Constant conflict over map resources and player clashes abounded, leading to an all-out guild war.

Moreover, it was the large guild that initiated the attack, pushing the offensive as quickly as possible.

At that time, the super guild thought little more than it was a joke, believing the large guild was simply making a desperate move, so they didn’t pay much attention.

But when the mostly Goblin Eater siege troops swiftly scaled the city walls without the need for any siege equipment, and then self-destructed one after another, coupled with the large guild’s air pet-owning Hunter forces for support, the super guild was taken by surprise and quickly lost control of the city gates and walls.

The super guild did not anticipate this situation, and one misstep led to another, resulting in their relentless defeat until their city hall was destroyed, and the war was utterly lost.

Despite having more players and legions than the large guild, the super guild was defeated and lost its headquarters. To rebuild, the large guild simply would not allow it, sending players to harass their efforts.

Without a headquarters, they couldn’t even qualify to wage a guild war–although orderly competitive battles were allowed within the same camp, the super guild didn’t dare violate faction rules. But without a headquarters, they couldn’t forego building one and were forced to buy a new location.

This event stirred up attention for a while, highlighting the strength of Goblin Eaters thanks to the large guild’s victory over the super guild. Players, too, realized that Goblin Eaters were one of the best troop types for sieges and raids.

Numerous Goblin Eaters were summoned from the war space into the external harbor, and Starfire simply watched quietly from atop the city walls as if they had not seen them.

Soon, over one hundred thousand Goblin Eaters densely packed the external harbor, and the Hate Legion of Abominations grew to over fifty thousand. The hundred and fifty thousand strong army was lined up neatly in formation, ready to attack the city walls at any moment.

“I always feel that something isn’t right. Starfire never just waits for death, so why aren’t they making a move?”…
