In that brief moment, the enemy's new layout was already complete!
Unlike the initial tactics, a hundred meters away from the Base of Operations stood rows of dense Arrow Towers, with Catapults lined up behind them. The entire span exceeded three hundred meters. While it couldn't completely block the plain, it formed a slight arc that effectively surrounded the gates of the Base of Operations.
"Damn, where did they get so many Arrow Towers and Catapults?"
Witnessing this scene, King's Eternal hurried back to the conference room of the Base of Operations in a panic. "It seems the enemy has been preparing to trap us in the Base of Operations all along, using numerous Arrow Towers and Catapults to seal us off!"
"So, what we saw earlier was just an illusion?"
As Overlord Batyen finished speaking, Zeng Jian (King's Sword Soul) had to acknowledge a harsh reality: "Even if we choose to leave the city, under Yi Tianchen and his team's sharp attacks, we wouldn't gain any advantage. It appears they anticipated this and created that illusion with their tank-like advance."
"In other words, it's as if we can't leave the city at all."
Invincible King sighed deeply, furrowing his brows. "It seems we've overlooked one point: the economic strength of Mist and Rain Commerce. All these Arrow Towers and Catapults they have now were likely purchased from other large guilds specifically for us!"
"Could it be that Yi Tianchen wants to use the same tactic he employed against Righteousness Above All?"
"Impossible!"
King's Eternal decisively replied, "Our current situation is completely different from that of Righteousness Above All. If they really tried to use that tactic against us, we could just wait for them to come and rely on the natural defenses of our Base of Operations to eliminate them."
"That's right!"
Zeng Jian (King's Sword Soul) nodded seriously. "Immediately give orders: if the enemy truly adopts a strategy of taking us down one by one, we need not worry about it. Right now, withdraw all Arrow Towers back to the Base of Operations and position the Catapults along the walls, shifting our main defense focus to the Sky Bridge."
"Understood!"
...
Outside the Base of Operations, Yi Tianchen's gaze was stern, but he did not take immediate action.
The current situation was already quite clear; there was a significant difference between King's Guild's Base of Operations and Righteousness Above All's Guild Base from before—it was entirely built upon steep mountains. Moreover, the main structure of the Base of Operations was situated halfway up the mountain, making the gate at its foot merely decorative.
What truly determined the safety of the Base of Operations was that Sky Bridge, which was less than ten meters wide!
The Sky Bridge is connected to the main structure of the Base of Operations. This means that even if Yi Tianchen and his team can breach the gates of the King's Guild's Base of Operations, they will never be able to cross the perilous Sky Bridge, which is less than ten meters wide.
Just imagine, even if thousands of players storm the gates, how many can actually fit on that narrow Sky Bridge at once?
Clearly...
No matter how many people arrive, once they reach the Sky Bridge, they can only be funneled in a minimal way. The defenders only need to concentrate their elite forces and siege machinery on this narrow passage, making it nearly impossible to advance—this is precisely why Zeng Jian and his companions decided to adopt a defensive strategy.
Unless they could conduct an air drop...
By using flying mounts to drop players directly onto the King's Guild's Base of Operations, they could distract the enemy forces stationed on the Sky Bridge. As long as they could allow other attacking players to break through this perilous passage, it would be tantamount to victory against the King's Guild.
But is that even possible?
Zeng Jian is no fool; he understands the strength of Yi Tianchen's Dragon-Slaying Eight-Man Team. Moreover, all members of the King's Guild are stationed within the Base of Operations. Even with the prowess of Yi Tianchen and his Dragon-Slaying Team, successfully air dropping under such intense firepower would be extremely difficult.
Furthermore, even if they managed to air drop successfully, how long could they hold out?
"Boss, let's get started!"
One-Handed Riding in the Sky was already eager to go, while Li Tielong looked on with anticipation. In the distance, Liu Yuhan sent a message confirming that everything was in place, keeping the entire Mist of Time's ranged team at a safe distance from the enemy's Catapults.
Yi Tianchen pondered for a moment and pointed forward: "Attack!"
"The brave men of Mist of Time, charge with me!" Almost simultaneously, One-Handed Riding in the Sky and Li Tielong shouted out as two teams of three thousand knights from the first Assault Team surged forward. Moments later, they split into five smaller teams and charged toward the King’s Guild’s Base of Operations, braving the boulders raining down from above.
Boom—
The heavy boulders, propelled by the Catapults, fell like shooting stars, creating large craters upon impact. However, due to their low accuracy and Mist of Time's prior preparations, One-Handed Riding in the Sky and Li Tielong's Assault Team did not charge as one but instead divided into five smaller groups to significantly reduce the effectiveness of enemy attacks.
Moreover, at just a hundred meters away...
For knights mounted on steeds, it was merely a matter of seconds. As they approached the gates, enemy ranged attacks began. Seeing this situation unfold, Yi Tianchen immediately issued new orders—
The Catapult advanced as it adjusted its position and initiated the attack!
Under the intense assault of the Catapult, the enemy's ranged firepower was significantly suppressed. Meanwhile, dozens of Arrow Towers in front of Chen Li began to advance collectively, entering range and launching a concentrated attack.
At this moment, the enemy had to make a choice...
They could either attack One-Handed Riding in the Sky and the team led by Li Tielong, or engage in a counter-offensive against Mist of Time's Catapult to halt the advance of their Arrow Towers and restrict the approach of large teams like Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan.
In an instant, the battlefield was filled with shouts and cries of battle!
At the forefront, One-Handed Riding in the Sky and Li Tielong's team, shielded by the Catapult and Arrow Towers behind them, closed in on the city gate. They immediately launched an assault on it. The massive impact echoed through the air like a sharp hammer striking heavily at the hearts of the King's Guild members.
Finally, when the sound of breaching the city wall rang out, all members of Rainy Years Guild were filled with excitement.
One-Handed Riding in the Sky and Li Tielong's team successfully broke through the city gate and charged onto the walls. With their overwhelming Charge ability, they swept through effortlessly and quickly occupied the entire Base of Operations' city gate.
However...
Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan both understood very well that the King's Guild had essentially abandoned this city gate. Breaking through did not mean victory; on the contrary, it was merely the beginning of the battle...
What followed would be the true focus of combat!
