Strategies could replace technology. The lesson could be seen from Sagittarius setting traps to lure dwarves into them many times.
Guhai Wubian applied this method. The rate of golem production of Guhai Wubian equaled that of Sagittarius. Currently, there are three in the arsenal. The third golem, wielding a club, is the leader hiding to destroy the dwarves' reinforcements.
The other two stand guard on both sides of Tuguria.
The golem's swing can easily throw the reinforcements' tanks. Judging by the situation, the front on that side will soon end.
As for Tuguria City, after demolishing the defense towers significantly, Guinevere 28 ordered her tank battalion to attack.
Boom boom, the tank cannons roared continuously, firing until many parts of the city's wall crumbled. The NPC soldiers and other players who followed behind received the signal to invade the city immediately.
Waves of characters from various professions surged towards the cracks in the collapsed parts of the city wall, pouring in continuously.
The town of Tuguria was taken over by a player named Noname, who was once the city lord of this place.
Guhai Wubian and Guinevere 28 seized this city because they needed it as a base for future assaults. They never intended to have a branch city in the middle of the map, which is thousands of kilometers away from their own territories.
Guinevere 28 is to the southwest, while Guhai Wubian is to the northwest, too distant to send an army for control. The cost would be high, and considering that this event would be over soon, they chose to hand the city over to its previous owner on the condition that they could use it as a base to attack the dwarves.
The lord of Tuguria gladly accepted. At first, he thought he would have to start a new lord career, but when contacted, he eagerly agreed to all conditions. Every serious lord player is naturally attached to their city. If there is a way to get it back, why wouldn't they be happy?
Take Robby tiger 0001, for example. He was so attached that he named the new city Rigel 2 out of frustration.
Inside the lord's office, Guhai Wubian and Guinevere 28 looked at each other and smiled. Their plan was halfway through; only the external group waiting to betray them was left.
Guhai Wubian leaned back comfortably and said to Guinevere 28, "It's just a matter of time."
Guinevere 28 was still uneasy and said, "Even if they show their true colors, not all of them will do so. After we deal with most of the traitors in this battle, we will have to launch a thorough investigation to root them out completely." It was still possible that some would remain hidden in the shadows, planning to betray and take over golems to destroy the army.
Hearing this, Guhai Wubian sighed and said, "It makes me envious of bro Sagi. He only has NPC subordinates. As long as the relationship points are high, there is no way they would betray him... He doesn't have to worry about ulterior motives like this."
While the remaining 300,000 troops were looking for a place to rest,
Boom!!
An explosion occurred outside the city.
The sound of the explosion was from a magical cannon, not a tank cannon.
Guinevere 28 smiled and said, "Speaking of soldiers who won't betray, I have my NPC soldiers guarding the tanks at all times so they wouldn't be easily captured."
Guhai Wubian also said, "I also have my three highest-relationship NPCs controlling the golems."
Both were calm because everything was going as planned, and they were waiting for someone to arrive.
Within ten seconds after the explosion,
the lord of Tuguria appeared, looking extremely panicked, shouting, "Outside, the players and the NPCs are fighting each other in chaos!"
Guhai Wubian replied indifferently, "Thanks for the update... May I know how far you have prepared the task I asked you to handle?"
The lord of Tuguria was confused but responded, "I checked the teleport gate according to the lord functions. It's still working fine."
Guhai Wubian smiled, and Guinevere 28 beside him felt relieved, smiling as she adjusted her silver and gold knight outfit, stood up, and said, "Then it's time."
But Guhai Wubian quickly stopped her, shouting, "Let them separate clearly into two sides first. Even if there's chaos and more losses now, we must endure!"
The lord of Tuguria tilted his head in confusion, wondering what "time" it was.
Then he suddenly realized and thought,
No wonder! He was asked to check the teleport gate.
And no wonder! They regained his city.
He was thankful something inspired him to build the teleport gate before any other essential city buildings!"
Referring to the teleport gate, it is a gate used by players to teleport between the starting city and the destination city. According to the rules, the teleport gates of all cities on the main continent do not connect with each other. Furthermore, the starting city, which can teleport anywhere, is not allowed to be used as a gateway, for example, teleporting from City A -> Starting City -> City B is not allowed. You can only teleport back and forth between the starting city and City A. If you want to change cities, you have to travel from City A to City B and then teleport from City B to the starting city. Only then can you teleport back to City B. This is because there is a system where city lords can raise armies to attack each other, and the system does not allow the use of this route for troop movement.
However, a few days ago, there was troop movement at the teleport gate!
Let me ask you, in the battle of Sirius, what will newly spawned players or those escaping death do when attacked by the Dwarf army and the city can no longer hold its ground?
Most people think the same way.
That is, escape to the starting city via the teleport gate.
And when the city is captured by the dwarves, the teleport gate remains open, but... who would dare to teleport back?
Every time a city war ends, everyone who escaped through the teleport gate teleports back and plays the game as usual because players see it as just a game. When the war ends, everything is over. But this is an event where dwarves are attacking humans. Imagine if a human suddenly appeared in the middle of a dwarf city. What would happen? Would they survive?
Therefore, if you follow the news, you will find that many players are stuck in the starting city.
The game company is trying to find a solution to this issue, such as allowing teleportation to nearby cities.
However, this is met with objections from other players who say it's unfair. They want the ability to teleport to other cities as well.
The game company is in a difficult position and has not made a decision until today. The players affected cannot teleport back to the main continent via Tuguria, but they are speechless because the company is not deciding while asking those escaping players:
Why not fight to the death?
If they fight to the death and the city is captured, by the rules, players will respawn in the nearby city.
This leaves players unable to file complaints because they got themselves involved in the war, escaped using tricks, and now seek help from the company.
This situation greatly benefits Guhai Wubian and Guinevere 28.
Logically, these players are not conspirators causing the defeat of Sirius City, just like the lord of Tuguria, because everyone lost out!
They lost immensely.
The man in front lost his city.
The players who escaped through the teleport gate lost their dropped items, and if they died many times, they lost leveling time and opportunities on the main continent. They are almost imprisoned in the starting city.
However, both Gu Hai Wu Bian and Guinevere 28 were still not fully convinced and sent trusted people to the starting city to give offers to the players.
The offer was to pay for teleportation with a small reward and help fight in this betrayal event.
... The job hired by the city lord and the safer return to the main continent "compared to appearing in a dwarf city," who wouldn't accept it?
Guhai Wubian and Guinevere 28 did not trust and hired this group first, and when the time came, they traveled through the teleport gate because of one reason, the numbers are too big, the plan can't be kept secret!
How many you ask?
"Hey!!!" The light from the teleport gate shined brightly; a procession of players from various guilds and clubs streamed out constantly, attacking the Templar Knight guild, breaking them apart instantly.
