Chapter 1286 - Chapter 1286 Chapter 1286 The Horn of Counterattack

Chapter 1286: Chapter 1286: The Horn of Counterattack Chapter 1286: Chapter 1286: The Horn of Counterattack The United Army had spent a considerable cost to use a one-time marching item in hopes of ambushing Starfire and capturing the city in one fell swoop, but their plan completely failed, and they paid a heavy price, with the battle continuing into the darkness without an end.

Starfire had wanted to make use of the dense firepower network arranged along the city walls to continuously strike and injure the enemy’s legions, hoping to make the United Army see the situation and retreat, but this plan also ultimately failed.

The situation now was that the United Army wanted to exhaust Starfire’s cannons into silence and then commence the real battle, while Starfire couldn’t continue relying on their strong firepower network to sustain the consumption and decided to reveal more tactics, determined to completely crush the United Army’s morale.

More and more people were paying attention to this battle, and they also knew that Li Yao and Starfire’s elite team had been taken away by the Chieftain–although they had won the match, they still couldn’t participate in the remaining battle.

Therefore, they were even more curious about the upcoming battle, wanting to know if Starfire could achieve victory in this siege without Li Yao and the elite core team.

If they were victorious, then Starfire would truly be on the road to glory, and even the super guilds would not underestimate them again. Starfire’s rise would be unstoppable, truly able to find a footing in the esports arena.

Starfire had weathered continuous storms on its journey, especially making Chinese players believe that Starfire would become the new legend, breaking the current esports circle in China and reshuffling the deck, helping the Chinese esports circle break away from its current vicious cycle.

In the game world, with the bright moon overhead, following the Guard Captain’s orders, the Starfire flanks switched from defense to offense, directly launching the decisive battle.

The Guard Captain stood on the city walls and gave the cold command, “The time for counterattack has come, blow the Dragon Horns and initiate the attack.”

Accompanied by the deep sound of the Dragon Horns, suddenly there were shouts of killing coming from behind the United Army’s frontline formation.

Though the battle had lasted for six hours, the majority of the United Army’s players had not engaged in combat; their formation was not in disarray, but they were all busy with their own things, some even playing with their little pets, as standing idle like NPC troops for six hours was simply not possible.

But at least it was a big guild, and their training paid off–when they heard the shouts of killing, they quickly responded with combat readiness.

Behind them, countless Boarfolk appeared, clad in Bloody Armor and wielding Bloody War Blades, their armor’s special effect activated, their qi and killing intent surging.

Looking at the sea of blood-like Boarfolk, the expressions of the two guild leaders were full of confusion.

“Damn it, how is this possible, where did they come from, how could they just suddenly appear? Quick, command them to summon their own legions to resist them.”

Another guild leader’s face changed, “Don’t, our formation is not very tight, but there’s no space to summon legions. Blindly summoning will only disrupt our current formation, and the consequences will be even more severe, command the left and right two…”

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the sound of killing from the left and right wings as well.

The Hunter using the Eagle Eye Technique to observe the battlefield urgently shouted, “It’s bad, leaders, on the left side of the battlefield is a pure Devil Tyrannosaur legion, and on the right, there are over fifty thousand Legion of Death Knights and about ten thousand Banshees.”

The two guild leaders looked at each other in shock as if struck by lightning–before them was endless firepower, behind were the barbaric Boarfolk, to the left the terrifying Devil Tyrannosaurs, to the right the Legion of Death Knights, completely sealing them off, and they hadn’t even noticed their approach, as if these legions had appeared out of thin air.

It wasn’t that this number of troops was particularly formidable–after all, the three directions’ legions added up to just over a hundred thousand, not even two hundred thousand.

Just the armies they had on the frontal battlefield, if added up, amounted to at least five or six million; such a small legion would not be able to withstand a human wave tactic if it were a frontal battle.

But the key issue was that the three legions had them surrounded. Due to supply and coordination issues, the current player siege mode was such that the vast majority of legions were stored in the war space, only being released when necessary for siege operations.

This had many advantages, such as not needing to occupy large open spaces, easy to coordinate, and even if there were an unexpected situation, retreat was possible, but the problem was, if they were surrounded and space was insufficient, apart from flying troops, they couldn’t summon anything out of the war space.

After all, the war space portal needed to occupy space, and there was no room for that in their current formation. Even if they could squeeze out some space, it would make the formation too dense, restricting their own ability to deploy, and summoning also took time.

“How did they come out of nowhere, what are you guys even doing, tens of thousands of people have surrounded us and you didn’t notice,” one guild leader reproached the Scout.

The Scout’s face was full of grievances, “We definitely didn’t slack off, but these legions just emerged from the ground as if out of nowhere, no track of when they dug the tunnels.”

Another guild leader suddenly said, “I get it now, Starfire’s bug nest, the Tunneling Bugs, damn it, Prairie Fire hasn’t come back, why can they still control those damn bugs.”

However, dwelling on these issues was pointless now–Starfire did not give them the time to react and had already begun slaughtering the players.

The Boarfolk were naturally dominant among the land troop types, and with Starfire’s Blood Origin Armor and weapons, their combat power soared to another level. The Blood Origin Armor boasted superior defense capabilities and a life-saving Shield at critical moments, and the weapons even had Bloodsucking abilities, keeping the Boarfolk at their peak condition.

The Blood Origin Tribe had caused a lot of trouble for the four guilds of the United Army and players before, and this was widely known from the last event.

The Devil Tyrannosaurs were resolute. During the last event, Starfire had made a great profit, and many Starfire players had obtained some Devil Tyrannosaurs. Along with the five thousand Volcano Dragons from Starfire, crashing into the player’s army formation proved to be a simplistic task.

On another front, the Death Knights were equipped with pure Death War Horses, the Cavalry’s charging force was super strong, and with the Banshees flying in mid-air, the combination was even more formidable.

For the siege, the players’ formations were based on the troop types they possessed, meaning players with the same troop types would be grouped into one queue, becoming regimented so that corresponding legions could be summoned together during a siege, avoiding chaos–and of course, there were many benefits to this approach.

The downside, however, was that they were not organized according to their own professions, and the melee, ranged, and healer professions’ formations were in complete disarray.

If they were constantly sieging, naturally it wouldn’t matter, after all, their summoned legions were the main combatants. But the moment they couldn’t summon their own legions, a fatal flaw was exposed…
