I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

On a desolate plain six kilometers north of Yuehua Fortress, three groups of people are meeting.

Ironwall, the vice commander of the Ironblood Alliance, arrived from the east with a force of 1,200 men. His full armor still bore the dust and burn marks left from the battle at Sunrise Fortress.

The remnants of the Blood Wolf Guild were led by an adjutant named Shadow Spider, and this group numbered only a little over three hundred.

The largest number of people were in the "Rise of the Storm" group.

Feng Yun Jiutian led 2,300 men out of Moonflower Fortress intact, with not a single person missing.

Because he surrendered.

When the three groups met, the atmosphere was quite subtle.

Tiebi looked at Fengyun Jiutian, his expression unreadable, a mixture of mockery and something else.

"Brother Feng Jiu, your two thousand-plus men have surrendered?"

Feng Yun Jiutian remained expressionless. "You had three thousand men, and you were defeated by one person in thirteen minutes."

Iron Wall's expression froze.

The two looked at each other for three seconds, then both turned their heads away.

Shadow Spider coughed dryly beside him. "Gentlemen, now is not the time to blame each other. There's still an hour and a half left in the event. If we don't recapture at least one fortress, our evaluation for this event will be completely ruined."

"Evaluation?" Iron Wall sneered. "I no longer care about evaluation."

"Then what do you care about?"

"Face." Iron Wall's voice was harsh. "How can the Iron Blood Alliance, with three thousand men, survive in District 21 if we can't take back a fortress from that person? Our guild's reputation will be ruined."

Feng Yun Jiu Tian glanced at him but didn't say anything.

But he agreed in his heart.

He knew the consequences of surrendering.

From today onwards, the name "Fengyun Zaiqi" ​​will forever be followed by four words: surrender without a fight.

Unless he can recapture a fortress before the event ends.

"Which one?" Fengyun Jiutian asked.

The Shadow Spider has already gathered intelligence: "Starlight Fortress has been taken over by Sword and Rose, with 1,400 men stationed there. Moonlight Fortress has 800 members from the Flower Language Guild, and Sunrise Fortress..."

He paused for a moment.

"Sunset Fortress is defended by the Myth Guild's own people, led by Immovable Mountain with about 150 men. There are still gaps in the city wall that have been damaged by bombs and haven't been repaired yet."

All three of them looked in the direction of the Sunrise Fortress.

One hundred and fifty people; there is a breach in the city wall.

"Strike the Sun," Iron Wall said.

Fengyun Jiutian nodded. "Gather everyone and push through in one go."

The Shadow Spider raised its hand. "But there's a problem."

"What?"

"Where is 'seeing flowers through the fog'?"

This question left all three of them silent.

"Seeing Flowers Through the Mist" is currently at Moonflower Fortress. The straight-line distance from Moonflower to Sunrise is approximately ten kilometers. A normal march would take twenty minutes, but that person's movement speed far exceeds that of ordinary people.

"Ten minutes," Fengyun Jiutian said. "He can get from Yuehua to Riyao in as little as ten minutes."

"Then we must break through Sunrise's defenses within ten minutes," Ironwall said.

"A defensive line of 150 men, pushed by 4,000, will take ten minutes," said the Shadow Spider.

"But the problem is, even if we capture Sunrise, what will happen when he arrives?" Fengyun Jiutian asked.

There was a few seconds of silence.

Tiebi spoke up: "After he arrived, we had four thousand men defending the city, while he attacked alone."

"He attacked three times by himself, and won every time."

"That's because the defenders never had a unified command; they all fought their own battles," Tiebi said in a deep voice.

"If we defend the city with four thousand men under unified command, spreading out and not clustering together, we won't give him the opportunity to use his wide-range skills. We'll ambush him in narrow passages, restricting his movement, and the four thousand men will take turns wearing him down."

"Deplete his power?" Feng Yun Jiutian shook his head. "His magical power seems inexhaustible."

"He has inexhaustible mana, but what about stamina? He's been fighting since the event started, for two hours straight. Even if he's a system bug, it's impossible for him to have no energy depletion."

"And if we can attack him and kill him, we'll win!"

Fengyun Jiutian thought about it and agreed that Tiebi made sense.

Seeing things through the fog may be impressive, but he's still just a human being. No one is without limits.

"Alright." Fengyun Jiutian made the decision. "Attack Sun City. Everyone march at full speed and arrive within twenty minutes. Once you arrive, do not stop, attack the city directly."

"Wait a minute," said the Shadow Spider. "I'll bring a few more people over."

"Who should we pull?"

"There are a lot of small guilds in the world chat who didn't get anything from this event. I told them to team up with us to fight Sunrise Fortress, and we can share the points and ratings after we take it down."

Ironwall frowned. "What kind of fighting power can a small guild have?"

"Quantity," said the Shadow Spider. "No matter how powerful the Star-Burning Arrow is, it can only cover a fifteen-meter diameter with one shot. The more people there are, the more people it can't clear out. As long as someone survives and reaches the control core, the fortress is ours."

Tiebi and Fengyun Jiutian exchanged a glance.

"Alright," Fengyun Jiutian said. "You have three minutes. Pull as much as you can."

Shadow Spider opened the world chat.

Three minutes later, he gathered about eight hundred people.

Add to that the 1,200 members of the Iron Blood Alliance, the 300-plus members of the Blood Wolves, the 2,300 members of the Rising Storm, and the 800 members of these smaller guilds.

The total number exceeded 4,600.

The vast army marched towards the Sunrise Fortress.

Sun Yao Fortress.

He stood immovable on the north city wall, holding a telescope in his hand.

He had already received a warning from Hua Zitong.

"They're here?" asked the bull beside him.

He remained unmoved, like a mountain, and put down his binoculars.

"They're here."

How many people?

Immovable as a mountain did not answer immediately; instead, he handed the binoculars to the bull.

The bull lifted it up, glanced at it, and its expression changed.

On the horizon, a black line is slowly approaching. It's not a line; it's a person.

A dense crowd of people.

"Four thousand?" The bull's voice was dry.

"At least four thousand five," said Immovable Mountain.

The members of the Myth Guild on the city wall also saw the black line.

Some people started to get nervous.

"Commander...we only have 150 people."

He remained unmoved and glanced back at his team, which consisted of 152 people.

Defend a fortress that has been bombed and riddled with holes.

There are 4,500 people on the other side.

"Don't panic." The voice was as steady as a mountain. "The president said he's on his way."

"He's at Luna Fortress! Ten kilometers! Even if he runs fast, it'll take him ten minutes!"

"Then we'll hold out for ten minutes." The man, as immovable as a mountain, took his shield off his back. "One hundred and fifty men, ten minutes, each person for three and a half seconds. Everyone, stay alert!"

"That's not how it's calculated, Commander."

"Shut up." He walked to the largest gap in the city wall, holding his shield up in front of him.

He is a tank.

A tank's instinct is to be at the forefront.

Below the city wall, an army of more than four thousand men had stopped two kilometers away.

Iron Wall and Wind and Cloud Nine Heavens stood at the front of the formation, looking at the Sun Fortress's walls riddled with holes.

"There aren't many people on the city wall," Tiebi said.

"One hundred and fifty people, scattered across the four city walls, with less than forty on each side," Fengyun Jiutian said. "There are three breaches created by the Burning Star Returning to Ruins Arrow, none of which have been repaired. We will break through from all three breaches simultaneously."

"Three routes?"

"We'll split into three groups. I'll lead a thousand men to attack the northern breach, you lead a thousand men to attack the eastern breach, and Shadow Spider will lead Blood Wolves and the scattered forces to attack the southern breach. The rest of us will surround the fortress to prevent them from retreating from the west."

Iron Wall nodded.

"How long will it take to win?"

Feng Yun Jiu Tian sneered. "Five minutes."

A thousand men attacking a gap defended by forty men would take more than five minutes.

"action."

More than 4,000 people began to move.

The army split into three directions and surged toward the three gaps in the Sunrise Fortress.

Standing motionless on the city wall, watching the surging crowd, he took a deep breath.

He pressed the communicator.

"President."

Li Wu's voice immediately came through: "I saw it."

"What? Where are you?"

"Don't worry about where I am, just hold the line. No matter what happens, defend the breach in the city wall."

"How long should we hold out?"

Five minutes.

He remained as still as a mountain and grinned slightly.

five minutes.

One hundred and fifty people, three gaps, more than four thousand people.

Hold out for five minutes.

"Received." Immovable as a mountain put the communicator back in his pocket, raised his shield, and shouted to everyone on the city wall.

"Brothers! The chairman will be here in three minutes! Hold the line!"

"yes!!!"

One hundred and fifty people on the city wall roared in unison.

The sound wasn't loud.

But it's very neat.
