MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter - Chapter 1025

Chapter 1025: Chapter 1025: Capturing the Female Thief Chapter 1025: Chapter 1025: Capturing the Female Thief “Enough, the concentration effect is already sufficient, there’s no need to delay,” Unparalleled Enchantress asked beside Li Yao.

Li Yao nodded and said, “Alright, then let’s use all means available.”

You should know, from the battle at the port, Starfire obtained not only the port but also many various special siege and defense mechanisms.

Although many were unusable, those remaining were sufficient to keep Starfire busy for a long time. For instance, there were many types of crossbows.

“Ballista ready, Hunter Crossbow ready.”

Following Unparalleled Enchantress’s command, powerful ballistas were placed in strategic positions.

With the operators shouting, all Starfire players in front of the ballistas crouched down.

Accompanied by screeching, crossbow arrows shot forth, and the pirates who were about to land at the dock hadn’t even reacted before being pierced by the arrows.

The power of the crossbow arrows was truly immense; on the frontal direction, the pirates were almost lined up, and crossbow arrows penetrated several pirates before their force was fully spent.

“Angle adjustment complete, load the ammunition.”

“Angle adjustment complete, load the ammunition.”

“Ammunition loaded, ready to light.”

“Ammunition loaded, ready to light.”

The operators of these machines were not players, but NPCs recruited by Li Yao, who were a regular army and well-trained, not mere players.

Li Yao treated these army NPCs like treasures, truly reluctant to let them desperately fight the pirates since NPCs were too difficult to recruit.

Starfire’s barrack level had always been ahead as it allowed the NPC army’s level to grow along with his level.

You should know, the level of the guild-controlled NPCs is determined by the level of the barracks and the guild leader, with the corresponding barracks level, the NPC’s level cap increases with the guild leader’s level.

For instance, now at level forty-four, Li Yao’s subordinates, through continuous training at the barracks, could have their levels raised to forty-four at most.

And the quality of NPCs is also decided by the level of the barracks; for a middle-tier town like Starfire currently has, there might be one high-level leader, ten mid-level leaders, and fifty low-level leaders among the NPCs, with five hundred silver elites and a thousand elites.

But in reality, Starfire simply did not have that many people, especially now with two stations under Starfire, the NPC army couldn’t meet this number.

Currently, Starfire’s barrack is a level five regular barrack. To upgrade the quality of the barracks, Starfire needs to eliminate other guilds, destroying other guilds’ corresponding buildings will gain some enhancements for guild building quality. Of course, presently only Li Yao is aware of this, and nowadays not many guild stations get destroyed, so nobody knows about this.

At this stage, even the top guilds are being discreet, guild battles haven’t occurred often, with more focus on strengthening power or leveling up.

Of course, this is also due to the direction of the three big factions. Currently, the enemies of the three big factions, aside from those local powers, are more focused on the Sub-dimension, and haven’t fostered guild wars.

Soldiers light the fires one by one, countless rockets from the Hunter Crossbows fly towards the sky, forming trajectories like meteors in the sky.

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump…
The range of the Hunter Crossbow is actually very far, thanks to the curved shooting, which allows for good angle adjustment.

In the rear of the battle formation, specifically, the command center of Starfire, which was impregnable to the pirates’ attacks, countless Flaming Meteors ascend into the air, then explode on various ships.

Although the explosives of these Hunter Crossbows were not enough to destroy the ships, killing these pirates was certainly not a problem, especially since the ships were primarily filled with the enemy’s ranged professions.

With the attack from the Hunter Crossbows, the pirates’ ships with ranged professions were thrown into chaos, and without the cover fire from the ranged professions, the melee professions striving to attack the docks were severely hindered.

Moreover, they would soon face a barrage of crossbow arrows, causing the pirates to begin panicking.

The pirates were strong and had always fought with the wind at their backs, showing immense bravery, but once the tide turned against them, their morale could easily be completely lost. For instance, now, after fighting for over an hour and suffering heavy losses coupled with a sudden attack, their morale had already dropped to less than half of its original strength.

Thud, thud, thud…

Just then, the Unparalleled Enchantress’s elite Starfire guardians who were protecting her were struck down one by one.

Behind the Unparalleled Enchantress, the figure of a female pirate appeared; though the Unparalleled Enchantress was a thief as well, she hadn’t anticipated an assassination and was completely unguarded.

Moreover, as a level forty-five Race-class leader, the female pirate’s attack power was naturally formidable. The Unparalleled Enchantress and the dozen people protecting her fell to the ground instantly.

Several thieves vanished from the spot instantaneously.

“Druid, resurrect them.”

Li Yao didn’t need to say it for a dedicated Druid to start casting spells, and he quickly took over the command.

“Don’t panic, maintain our current rhythm. Decapitation isn’t useful for us,” Li Yao said as he, who hadn’t attacked in a long time, also drew his bow, shooting arrows that shone gold like meteors, killing the pirates one after another.

“Damn rookies.” Seeing that the just-beheaded opponent commander had stood up, she immediately realized, “Destroy those detestable ballistae.”

But knowing that the enemy had infiltrated the harbor, the Unparalleled Enchantress wouldn’t make the same mistake and immediately said, “Reserve team Hunter, prepare the flares.”

The Hunters, already eager to join the fray, launched the flares under the command of their leader.

One by one, the flares ascended, and then illuminated the Ballista base. As the flares fell, the shadows trying to approach the Ballista were exposed.

“Kill!”

The players protecting the Ballista focused fire on these dark figures, all elite pirates.

Melee fighters immediately charged, while the spellcasters’ prepared spells poured forth.

Li Yao’s attacking gaze was as sharp as lightning; he spotted the female thief in an instant.

The female thief was also focused upon, hit by various spells.

Bang…

The female thief threw a flash bomb, but there were too many players, and it couldn’t blind everyone attacking her.

“Damn it.”

The female thief had seen many battles, but this was her first time fighting against a team with players coordinated across various professions.

The female thief moved like a ghost, swiftly striding as she slit the throats of several Starfire melee players.

As the flash bomb effect wore off, she threw a smoke bomb; as the smoke spread, she ruthlessly reaped another group of players.

“A formidable assassin, but the master is angry now, and this is where you stop,” a noble and elegant woman said as she appeared in front of the female thief.

In fact, as a major boss, she could still hold on despite such an intense siege, and thanks to her dagger’s bloodsucking effect, her health was decreasing very slowly.

Seeing the mage in a noble robe daring to appear before her, the female thief’s eyes flashed coldly…
