MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter
Chapter 942 - Chapter 942 942

Chapter 942: 942 Chapter 942: 942 The cannons weren’t too densely packed, and many players had special displacement and invincibility skills, so despite the fierce cannon fire, quite a number of players still managed to enter the influence range of the blizzard.

And the city wall also came within their attack range, with many ranged attackers beginning to launch assaults. However, since they were still in the process of charging forward, they could only cast some instant cast skills.

These skills were very scattered and were easily blocked by tanks equipped with large shields, causing basically no damage.

“Mage team, Hydra, ‘Calm and Collected*Flame Explosion Art.'”

Following the enchantress’s words, a row of Mages directly cut to the front of the Ice Mages, then raised their hands to cast Hydra.

A row of fiery Hydras appeared right beneath the city walls; then, all the Mages flickered with a faint glow, followed by countless fireballs, large as face basins, whistling down.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom…

In the midst of the dense Flame Explosion bursts, a large number of players fell, and even the siege ladders at the front started to burn.

Only a handful of players were left surviving by relying on invincibility skills, but it was no longer of any consequence to the overall situation.

The coordination of Starfire was naturally fluid, followed by other ranged attackers picking off those who slipped through the net.

Just one round of attack, and at least a few hundred players from the opposing side fell at the base of the city wall.

Though the leaders of the Earl’s Guild were surprised, the so-called arrow that’s been released from the bow cannot be retrieved, and it wasn’t possible to back down after losing just a few hundred men.

So the Earl’s Guild’s charge formation only hesitated briefly before continuing the attack.

The cannons provided long-range firepower, then came the near-distance slows, followed by the Mages’ harvest, and then other ranged classes picked off the targets; the entire process was as smooth as flowing clouds and water.

“You guys at Starfire even specially went through siege training, that’s way too exaggerated,” one commentator said speechlessly upon seeing the situation unfold.

This European commentator was quite excited at first, hoping that the Duke’s Guild could take down Starfire, not only to gain a massive amount of military merit but also to make their name known far and wide. Yet, unexpectedly, they were struck a heavy blow right at the start, and it was a particularly heavy one.

This level of coordination was comparable to that of a regular NPC army, and even had the players’ characteristics, clearly showing it wasn’t their first time doing this. More importantly, looking at other Guilds’ players showed chaos, only top-tier Guilds had some discipline, but there was simply no comparison with Starfire. It was like the difference between a band of thieves and an elite regular army.

You could tell by the way the Duke’s Guild attacked other Guilds, not even one top-tier Guild could withstand them.

Feng Yi smiled and said, “It’s still the Chairman’s idea. He has mandated that we carry out an attack and defense battle every week. The entire Guild is divided into two groups, with the losing side having their weekly point acquisition reduced by 20%, while the winning side gets a 30% increase. Additionally, based on performance, outstanding participants are selected to receive special rewards. This practice has been going on for quite some time.”

“So that’s how it is; it seems that the rise of each guild is no coincidence,” the European commentator sighed.

Militarization of player Guilds has always been a problem. She believed Feng Yi had many more secrets left unsaid. If it were so simple, other Guilds would have solved the problem long ago. However, it’s the secret of their Guild, and there’s no need to ask for trouble.

Feng Yi smiled and did not continue.

Indeed, there were many reasons for Starfire’s success. On one hand, the rewards attracted people; on the other, it was the differential treatment they offered in comparison. Everyone who joined Starfire was a skilled player, and none of them wanted to lose. There were also many other aspects tied to it, which gradually facilitated this event.

And now, it seemed that the results were quite satisfactory as the guild that was good at engineering–Earl Guild–was about to meet its end.

The Earl Guild had stopped another round of intense attacks and had even sent out rogues again, but with hunters constantly releasing flares into the sky and Li Yao’s sonic arrows, most thieves would be discovered.

The few rogues that did manage to sneak through were hardly a threat; if they showed up, they’d be blasted away before they could finish their set of skills.

In the face of Earl Guild’s intense attacks, Starfire was not stingy either. A volley from multiple crossbows solved the problem. The killing power of the crossbows was truly terrifying, making players realize that the crossbows were not only a sharp tool at sea but also during the defense of a city.

In fact, the opposition’s intense attack even included a siege vehicle, and they had also set up stone throwers at a distance.

But the stone throwers were too far away, and their projectiles were exceedingly slow. Starfire’s rogues did nothing but calculate the trajectories and landing points of the stone thrower’s projectiles, advising relevant people to evacuate in time.

This spared Starfire from many casualties, and as for the opposing side’s siege vehicle, Li Yao directly deployed the Spider Tank, which, with the support of the Firehawk, was promptly destroyed.

In less than half an hour, the number of players from Earl Guild had dwindled to less than fifteen hundred, and most of them were healers and fragile ranged fighters. Their melee fighters and tanks were basically wiped out.

“Starfire really lives up to its reputation. We, the Earl Guild, admit defeat,” the gloomy-faced Chairman of Earl Guild said, forcing a slight smile.

Li Yao said indifferently, “Hurry it up, don’t waste time. After this, we still plan to go back to sleep for a bit.”

The members of Earl Guild were steaming with anger. Each of them had military achievements on them, and if killed, Starfire would gain even more military achievements than at the start of the battle. Listening to Liaoyuan’s words, it was clear they were not even considered a threat, which was infuriating.

The previous triumph of destroying two guilds was now gone.

“Cough, Chairman Liaoyuan, what do you think about this proposal? We concede defeat and leave all the stone throwers and other equipment behind,” the Chairman of Earl Guild said, struggling to contain his anger.

Li Yao raised an eyebrow, “Destroying you means your stuff naturally becomes our war spoils. Why bother making such an offer?”

“Since Chairman Liaoyuan plays ignorant, then I’ll be blunt. Starfire, let us go, let our members at the bottom of the city walls revive, and I will leave everything behind. Otherwise, as you know, if we can’t win, we can run. Under such circumstances, Starfire surely won’t pursue, right? Otherwise, once you come out and we entangle you, it won’t be so easy for you to go back,” the Chairman of Earl Guild stated.

“I’m not interested in such a trade. Give it up, you’ve already been eliminated,” Li Yao shook his head slightly.

“Chairman Liaoyuan, do you really want to be so ruthless?” The Chairman of Earl Guild’s face grew even darker, and he could no longer restrain himself.

“It’s not about being ruthless, it’s that you have nowhere to run,” Li Yao said with a smile. “You were very careful about your own siege capacity, so you took the initiative to attack us. Little did you know, you were merely a pathfinder stone. Now as dawn is approaching, you might as well look back and see if there is any way out for you.”

The Chairman of Earl Guild’s face changed as he looked towards the hunter who had just come up to him.

The hunter said bitterly, “Chairman, our retreat has been cut off, many guilds have caught up.”

The face of Earl Guild’s Chairman went ashen. He had naturally considered such a situation but had believed they could storm into the city directly. He hadn’t expected such heavy losses without even reaching the top of the walls…
