This was his last thought before he died.
Chapter 87: General Attack
The power of the Arbiter Cannon is extremely strong.
The heavy artillery shells alone killed large numbers of Blue Shadow players, and as the shells rolled down, three deep pits were carved out in the Blue Shadow team.
What's more, these shells contained a large amount of extremely strong black gunpowder, which caused drastic changes after hitting the ground and triggering the fuse. After a brief silence, they exploded with a bang.
Along with the raging fire, countless sharp iron pieces flew around.
Under the powerful explosion force of black gunpowder, the splash range is even farther than that of ordinary artillery shells. Large areas of red damage emerge, like a harvester that instantly clears out all the players in a large area after the shells land.
Such terrifying power made even the shield warriors and knights with strong defenses fall down like harvested wheat.
"Damn, what kind of damage is this."
Around the shells, a shield warrior who held up his shield to block the flying iron pieces couldn't help but curse. He was a player from Storm Sent who came to support Blue Shadow. He was wearing a full set of high-level dark gold equipment, which enabled him to survive the explosion of the shells.
However, even so, there was only less than 2,000 HP left.
The elites of Storm are all like this, let alone others.
Just as he was carrying the shield and taking a few steps back to take out the instant recovery potion from his backpack, he suddenly heard a familiar whistling sound.
Boom boom boom——
The attack frequency of the Arbiter Cannon is equally terrifying, and it can even fire two shells at the same time.
During this period, Luoxue Fengye sent people to the Iron Smelting Castle to collect some drawings and materials, and handed them over to the Xingyue Workshop to produce a large number of artillery shells with black gunpowder.
With sufficient ammunition support, the mechanical alchemists on the turrets, under Cecilia's command, fired indiscriminately into the distance, while the soldiers behind them continued to load shells into the barrels.
Every muffled sound like thunder, every shell that fell like a meteorite, took away the lives of hundreds or even thousands of Blue Shadow players.
And it's not just the players of Blue Shadow, those war weapons have also become targets.
Or rather, it was the cannon's primary target from the very beginning.
Although they have the ability to move with the support of vehicles, compared to players, the movement speed of these war weapons is also slow, and they are like sitting ducks in front of artillery shells.
Several shells hit one of the iron-frame catapults and exploded.
Even the iron frame catapult's thick defense could not withstand it and exploded with a loud bang. The broken parts were even integrated into the power of the cannonballs, blowing away groups of players around it.
Because Alice's attack was so sudden and unexpected.
So much so that when Qiu Lu came to his senses from the shock, six of the Blue Shadow's war weapons had already been damaged, and they were tragically sacrificed before they could get within the attack range, which seemed like a case of dying before achieving success.
Why is the attack distance so far?
What kind of war weapon has such attack frequency and power?
All kinds of doubts crowded in Qiu Lu's mind, but Qiu Lu had no time to think about them. Seeing another precious war weapon destroyed in front of him, he hurriedly gave orders in the channel, his voice almost screaming.
"Retreat, cover the withdrawal of the remaining war weapons!"
If we advance at this time with all our might, the Blue Shadow will still be able to bring considerable pressure to the City-State of Hope.
But Qiu Lu's order had completely destroyed Blue Shadow's only chance to destroy the fortress group.
Because not only Qiu Lu, but also many players who were paying attention to it on the forum did not expect that the range of the Arbiter's Cannon would be so terrifying.
With the bonus of the special turret, it has an attack range of 1800 yards.
As Ying Huiliunian said, it would be extremely difficult to withdraw those war weapons that turned around.
Even if Qiu Lu ordered the numerous players around him to provide cover, they all became dispensable cannon fodder under the attack of the Arbiter's cannon, and there were not many ways to interfere with the cannon's aiming.
bang bang bang-
Amid the fierce sound of artillery shells, the short distance of 600 yards turned into a road of death, burying several blue shadow war weapons and the white light of many dead players on the plain.
In the end, only eighteen war weapons were successfully withdrawn.
In just over ten minutes, the damage rate was as high as nearly half, and among the war weapons that were luckily withdrawn, most were still in a damaged state, and some even had less than one-third of their integrity left.
Such a tragic scene really made countless players in the empire who followed the live broadcast dumbfounded. They were shocked by the powerful performance displayed by the Arbiter Cannon.
They left comments under the post.
"Nimma, this range is too terrifying!"
"Not only that, the power of this shell is also extremely terrifying..."
"Is this a modern war?"
"Feel the same."
Not only ordinary players, but all major guilds including Yuwen Hao and his guild alliance had different thoughts when they saw this scene.
However, no matter what these people thought, Qiu Lu's eyes instantly turned red after hearing the casualties reported by the prison next to him. This first wave of attack alone caused the Blue Shadow to lose 60,000 people.
Moreover, only a few of them can be pulled back by the priest, and most of them can only be resurrected from the cemetery in the nearby town at the cost of losing experience.
Needless to say, the loss of war weapons was even greater. Of the thirty-three war weapons that were scheduled to be used on the main battlefield of Hope City-State, only eighteen remained.
"Damn it, how could Alice have such a trump card."
Qiu Lu gnashed his teeth.
The close associates around him were silent, and no one could answer Qiu Lu's question. In fact, even Zemo saw the power of the Arbiter's Cannon for the first time. He had only heard vague news about it from Gray Liunian before.
Seeing Qiu Lu jumping up and down at this moment, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
"Zemo, what's the situation on the other two sides?"
Qiu Lu suddenly turned his head and looked, his eyes filled with hope.
Although the Arbiter Cannon is extremely powerful, this weapon is definitely difficult to make. Qiu Lu subconsciously believes that Alice is placing all her cards on the City-State of Hope.
In this way, the defense of the other two fortresses will definitely be weakened. The team they arranged to capture the two fortresses will have an advantage. If they hope that the city-state will not be captured for a long time, they can send a large force to capture the two fortresses first.
However, his plan was doomed to fail.
Zemo shook his head. "According to the news sent back by A Shui and Yue Jian, Alice also deployed a giant cannon in each of the two fortresses. A total of twelve war weapons, only five were successfully withdrawn."
The words fell.
Qiu Lu clenched his fists and spoke word by word after a long silence.
"Let everyone gather here."
Since both fortresses are guarded by huge cannons, a stormy attack would certainly cost a lot of manpower.
It may not even be possible to conquer it.
It would be better to concentrate all the troops and focus on capturing Hope City-State.
Chapter 88: Belief
Even without the notification of Gray Years.
Naturally, I also noticed the movements of the large Blue Shadow army outside the city, and I immediately understood their intentions.
"Pretty smart."
I whispered softly.
In a fortress battle, the defenders' advantage lies in the fact that they are based in the fortress, have a large number of defensive measures, and can be resurrected from the fortress's resurrection point to continue fighting after death.
However, the number of combatants will be limited by the number of civilian houses in the fortress.
Even if Blinking Starry Sky had planned it in great detail, the number of people in the city-state who would be used to defend the fortress would be no more than 80,000 at most.
As for the attacking party, there is no limit to the number of Blue Shadows, and if possible, they can even mobilize millions of people to attack at the same time. Although Alice can also send extra people out to interfere, those teams will lose the advantage of defending the city.
This must be Qiu Lu's plan.
All their strength was put into attacking the City-State of Hope, and the number of casualties was used to advance the distance. No matter how powerful the Arbiter Cannon was, there would always be a time when the frequency of attacks would decrease.
If they could capture the City of Hope, Blue Shadow's goal would be achieved.
No matter how great the loss, Alice's loss is inevitable.
"This is a desperate move."
I shook my head.
If they had made up their minds from the beginning to focus on conquering the City of Hope instead of trying to conquer the fortresses of the Forest of Giant Fangs from three sides. If they had not retreated when they were attacked by the Arbiter's cannon, but continued to charge despite the shells.
The pressure on Alice is self-evident.
After all, it was a team of 400,000 people.
However, the two most fearful things in war are underestimating the enemy and exhausting ourselves while the enemy is full. The first attack is vigorous, the second is weak, and the third is exhaustion. This is the principle.
What's more, in addition to the Arbiter Cannon, Alice also has her own strengths.
While the Blue Shadow regrouped 400,000 people, the Alice members in Hope City were also making intensive preparations under the leadership of Luoxue Fengye, Huilei Liunian, Qiu Ru and other management.
I hope that almost all of the 80,000 people in the city-state are Alice’s main force.
Melee professions such as Tenderness, Lost Heart, Silent Shadow, Minotaur, Sugared Coffee, and Glass of Wine gathered outside the city gate, with shield warriors and knights in the front and light armor in the back, forming a thick wall like an ancient war formation.
Priests such as Huilei Fuguang, Shiguang Qian, Yunxian, and Xiaoyu gave their blessings to many guild members in advance.
Luo Qing, Ning Youyou, Ye Zhi, Shi Xuan and other mages, together with archers such as Tang Yiyi, climbed up the city wall. Gray Liunian commanded Alice's warlocks to take turns among them.
When the Blue Shadow team approaches within range, they will not hesitate to use group magic and various group curse effects to meet these enemies.
Qiu Li, Makino, Meng Yi and other long-range hidden professional teams stayed in the rear, using the characteristics of their hidden professions to provide gains to their companions around them, or to strengthen their damage.
Yun Qian, Xinghe Haohan and some knights guarded these magic professions and shooters and set up a simple defense.
Ye Yuan and Yiwen led the group of thieves to sneak out of the fortress early, carrying various scrolls and lethal and disruptive props, and ambushed on both sides of the fortress.
Cecilia brought the Mechanical Alchemist with her and directed the deployment of various war weapons, including the Arbiter Cannon.
And once the war breaks out, Zhuo Duo and Ye Se Heng Mei will lead the Alice branch's personnel into the battlefield to provide support.
Looking at the information about the fortress layout scrolling down in the channel.
I thought about it and said in the guild channel.
"Do you have confidence?"
When this message from the president was sent, the channel paused for a moment and then immediately became like a waterfall, with hundreds of messages sliding down in just a few seconds.
"It's the president!"
"I finally met the pupil god, so happy~"
"Hello, President!"
Many people in the guild are new members who joined a while ago, and I rarely show up in public. This has led to many old members knowing very little about me, and they can only know a thing or two from the occasional news circulating in the guild.
Seeing the message I sent personally at this moment, I felt as excited as if I had seen a nationally protected animal.
Soon, their focus shifted to the questions I asked.
Are you confident?
Of course there are.
In the more than half a year since Alice was founded, it has had disputes and frictions with other guilds and experienced many battles before it grew to its current size that can compete with large guilds.
Not just old members, but new members as well.
Everyone who can join Alice has a certain level of strength, and this strength has become stronger through the accumulation of experience from battles and technical exchanges within the guild.
Even if it has not yet fermented, it still stands proudly like a weed breaking through the soil.
Among them are many players who were famous in their previous lives. They were able to occupy a place on the leaderboard in their previous lives. Perhaps strength is the most important, but character is also indispensable.
They already have their own pride, not to mention that they are growing up in a fertile soil like Alice in this life.
"A mere blue shadow is nothing."
"Alice is invincible!"
"I can't wait to show these little brats how powerful we are."
One message after another slid down the channel.
