MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter - Chapter 1044

Chapter 1044: Chapter 1044 Intense Battle Chapter 1044: Chapter 1044 Intense Battle “Kill, take back our base, and show those Starfire grandsons a thing or two.”

The people from Prosperous Era swiftly approached the city walls, and the audience suddenly became excited. The real battle was just beginning.

“Hundred Hunters’ Crossbows!”

Bang bang bang bang…

Countless explosive fire arrows, along with soaring flames, illuminated the twilight sky, and as the explosions went off one after another, players fell. Meanwhile, Starfire’s long-range players were also in tight formation, ready to attack as soon as the enemy came within range.

Because of Li Yao’s presence, many Hunters with good talents joined Starfire, which was the only team to have over five thousand long-range archers.

After all, although Hunter Li Yao was heaven-defying in the ancient gods, others could not manage the same, and the number of Hunters was still scarce.

In a disadvantaged situation, other guilds were also reluctant to recruit Hunters, but Li Yao was clear that each class had its surge, and archer troops were indispensable.

With the arrival of level forty, special arrows also began to proliferate, and various functional arrows helped Hunters carve out a place in war. Of course, only Li Yao knew this.

A few seconds later, cannons also started to roar, and a series of gigantic artillery shells, resembling Heavenly Fire Meteors, sent Prosperous Era players flying into the sky one after another.

“As far as I know, this is the Engineering Cannon Ammunition Blueprint that Prosperous Era obtained not long ago, named Hundred Flowers Shell. Although it is solid shot, it is filled with quite a few rare elements. The explosion produces many different types of magic shrapnel, shredding nearby enemies,” Xia Ze, who was invited by Feng Yi to provide commentary, said.

Just as Xia Ze said, with the bombs bursting, within a thirty-yard radius, there were magic shrapnel, like a magic storm, capable of tearing players to shreds.

And the eyes of Prosperous Era players were filled with rage.

KY, who was also invited, said, “The people from Prosperous Era must be going mad. It is said that manufacturing one such artillery shell costs nearly a Gold Coin, and Prosperous Era painfully produced ten thousand as a reserve. They never thought they wouldn’t get to use them, and Starfire is the one using them now, and against Prosperous Era no less. Looking at their faces, they must be going insane.”

How could they not? All players from Prosperous Era had bloodshot eyes. A Gold Coin was the internal cost price, not including processing fees. In reality, those shells would auction for at least one and a half Gold Coins each at the auction house.

The frontal city wall had fifteen cannons, each round costing more than a dozen Gold Coins. Starfire was playing hard, without any hesitation, but it was a painful expense for Prosperous Era’s people.

“The reputation of Hundred Hunters’ Crossbows is too great, and Prosperous Era’s formation does not allow Bai Lien to maximize its lethality. On top of that, there are not enough Hundred Hunters’ Crossbows,” Xia Ze said.

Feng Yi said, “The Hundred Hunters’ Crossbows aren’t expensive, but these explosive shells are too pricey, and even Starfire can’t afford to use them extensively.”

One after another, Prosperous Era’s players surged towards the city wall like mad, and once they were within range, numerous archers began their attack, releasing wave after wave of Arrow Rain.

The players from Prosperous Era advanced quickly behind the frontline players who held up Shields, but they eventually entered the range of magic assaults. Their agility began to decrease under the Mages’ storm of spells.

“Bindweed Tendril!”

As Prosperous Era players roared in fury, they threw out tendrils after tendrils, which quickly spread across the city wall, forming a dense network similar to innumerable soft ladders.

Moreover, players from Prosperous Era took out bottles of Green Goddess and smashed them against the city walls. A green mist spread, and the vines, absorbing the green fog, grew wildly, rapidly covering the city walls.

The Starfire warriors were full of astonishment, having not anticipated this situation; they thought that without siege ladders, even with Hook Lock, the enemy would hardly scale the walls, but they didn’t expect such a tactic. Indeed, fitting of a magic world, one cannot fathom it with ordinary thinking.

“Pour the oil, Fire Mages, attack the vines!”

Jars of oil were poured down, and under the spell of Fire Mages, many areas saw the vines begin to burn intensely, but as the burning vines vanished, new ones sprang up haphazardly, proving impossible to burn them all.

And those from Prosperous Era drank bottles of climber’s potions as they began to scale the walls.

“Not bad, kind of interesting.”

Li Yao continued to attack rapidly while commanding the Black Dragon, which the Dragon Queen had transformed into.

As players from Prosperous Era were about to climb over, a surge of Dragon Breath spewed forth, instantly killing a large number of Prosperous Era players. Numerous vines caught fire, the Dragon Breath of the Black Dragon Queen was too domineering; even though it was only level forty-something, it was still a world-class top leader.

The Fire Eagles did not want to be outdone either, along with other aerial pets from Starfire’s Hunters, they also continued to attack the players from Prosperous Era.

“What is this, it’s much more useful than siege ladders.” KY was perplexed.

In fact, most of the audience was also full of curiosity, unsure of what this was; they had thought Starfire’s prowess meant Prosperous Era was thoroughly doomed, but now it seemed that Prosperous Era was not so fragile after all. Clearly, they had developed their own trump cards and methods over the past month.

With this thought, many spectators felt a schadenfreude joy–if Prosperous Era truly defeated these Starfire warriors, they might as well take over Starfire’s stronghold, for after all, Starfire had two strongholds, and hence their defensive forces would necessarily be lacking.

Xiao Ze said, “I know a bit about this. Wasn’t there a player who, not long ago, found a plant-type pet called Sky-reaching Vine in the Eternal Dark Forest? This pet’s specialty is to produce seeds of Sky-reaching Vine, and supposedly it was bought at a sky-high price by a mysterious person, turning that down-and-out player into a wealthy and handsome man overnight. Who would have thought Prosperous Era managed to buy it, and even make such a miraculous use of it–truly extraordinary. Of course, the Sky-reaching Vine wouldn’t naturally grow so quickly, but with a potion called a growth accelerant, it can grow wildly. A bottle costs at least ten Gold Coins.”

“Tch, Prosperous Era really is spending big,” Feng Yi remained smirking.

“Aren’t you worried?” Xiao Ze said, “Despite its cost, it is indeed very practical. The Dragon Queen may be powerful, but after all, she has been downgraded; her Dragon Breath can’t just be spewed at will.”

“They have their means, but don’t we in Starfire?” She knew too well, while Prosperous Era was developing, Star Lake was developing too, and now Starfire was not just reliant on Li Yao alone.

“But Prosperous Era is not weak either, look over there.” HY spoke.

The crowd looked over to see a group of engineering players from Prosperous Era quickly pulling gigantic metal blocks out of their backpacks as if assembling something.

Four or six massive wheels, with metal columns that gleamed like timber stakes in the middle, topped with slanted metal shields.

“Engineering really looks to become mainstream because of the influence of Starfire. This must be the secret research of Prosperous Era, probably a Siege Hammer, capable of blocking both Arrows and Magic attacks.”

Just as HY said, this was a huge, heavy Siege Hammer. Under the furious effort of Prosperous Era players, it seemed as if the very ground shook, an unstoppable force charging towards the city gates…
