Chapter 1 Heavy Pressure

Carrying a heavy burden of pressure, Nie Yan felt increasingly pressed for time. During the day, he used video calls to arrange various tasks for the War God Tribe. Under the wing of the Niu Ren Tribe, the War God Tribe's development was quite gratifying. Together with more than twenty companies, they developed a total of twenty-three fortress credit point trading areas. These credit point trading areas brought a lot of profit to the World Corporation and also helped the World Corporation expand many businesses, establishing good cooperative relationships with sixty or seventy companies. These would be the foundation for the future development of the World Corporation.

As for the game, Nie Yan continued to train his skill proficiency while commanding the Niu Ren Tribe.

Several of the Niu Ren Tribe's Ballista Catapults had been completed and were ready for use. The war between the Niu Ren Tribe and the Mage Alliance finally broke out in full swing.

The Niu Ren Tribe's forces marched to the city walls of Ageron Fortress.

Brilliant Knife Light was the commander of this war, assisted by Shui Se Yan Tou, Knight's Elegy, and others.

Outside Ageron Fortress, more than 300,000 player troops arrayed themselves, gazing at the distant city walls. The towering walls of Ageron Fortress were filled with players. Eleven Armored Catapults were lined up in a row. The huge Armored Catapults were placed on the city walls, giving a sense of powerful oppression. Behind the city walls were dense arrow towers, revealing a chilling array of arrows.

The defense of Ageron Fortress was truly like an iron barrel.

More than fifty elites of the Niu Ren Tribe were scattered on the grass in front of the troops, looking very relaxed.

This was the most luxurious lineup of the Niu Ren Tribe, their trump card.

"Those Mage Alliance turtle sons, all shrinking in the fortress and not daring to come out." Wu Feng touched the long sword in his hand. It had been a long time since there had been an exciting battle. It was time to stretch his muscles.

During this period of recuperation, the players of the Niu Ren Tribe had improved rapidly, and many of them were itching for action.

"Don't worry, there will be enough for you to kill later. How about we compete to see who climbs the city wall first?" Hei Bai next to him smiled.

"That, can be considered." The other players all expressed no objection.

In their eyes, the Mage Alliance was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"Haven't our Ballista Catapults arrived yet?"

"Ballista Catapults move slowly, it will probably take a long time!"

These players chatted idly, looking forward with some excitement. Today, they would sweep away the Mage Alliance!

At this time, Nie Yan was watching the live video feed. Sun, Wang Zhe Tian Xia, and others had obtained the defense map of Ageron Fortress a few days ago. Brilliant Knife Light and others had made a careful study of it. Now, from the outside, the defense of Ageron Fortress was still quite tight. If they used Frost Armored Catapults to attack, they would definitely not be able to break through. The attacking side was generally at a disadvantage.

"Have our mechanics calculated the range of the Mage Alliance's Armored Catapults on the city walls?" Nie Yan sent a message to Brilliant Knife Light.

"It has been calculated, and a simulation diagram has been drawn. The height of the Ageron Fortress city wall is about thirty yards. After adding the range bonus, it is about sixteen hundred yards. If our Frost Armored Catapults want to attack the city walls, they must approach the city walls by at least six hundred yards. With Ballista Catapults, twenty-five hundred yards is about enough," Brilliant Knife Light said. Although the Ballista Catapults had already set out towards Ageron Fortress, the Mage Alliance had not yet witnessed the power of the Ballista Catapults. Otherwise, they would definitely not be able to sit still inside Ageron Fortress.

In terms of range, the Niu Ren Tribe's Ballista Catapults had a great advantage.

If the Niu Ren Tribe's Ballista Catapults bombarded Ageron Fortress, the Armored Catapults on the walls of Ageron Fortress would only be able to take a beating. If the people of the Mage Alliance rushed out of Ageron Fortress, then they would face the bombardment of the Frost Armored Catapults.

In this situation, Nie Yan did not believe that the Mage Alliance could come up with any other way. If Angel Corps did not send reinforcements, the Mage Alliance was doomed. Even if Angel Corps sent reinforcements to the Mage Alliance, they would probably be unable to turn the tide.

One after another Frost Armored Catapult of the Niu Ren Tribe headed towards Ageron Fortress. The huge force composed of thirty-seven Frost Armored Catapults made the players on the city walls of Ageron Fortress feel terrified. Many of them had personally witnessed the power of the Frost Armored Catapults.

On land, these Frost Armored Catapults were absolutely invincible overlords. Whoever dared to go down the city wall to fight so many Frost Armored Catapults was simply courting death.

In addition to the Frost Armored Catapults, six Ballista Catapults were heading towards Ageron Fortress. They moved very slowly, only being able to move for half a day. Their mobility was too weak and they were easily intercepted. Therefore, the Niu Ren Tribe carefully hid the Ballista Catapults to avoid being discovered.

The Niu Ren Tribe's forces had not taken any action for a long time. Kuang Fa and Saint Flame stood on the city wall, looking down. Within a radius of two thousand yards around Ageron Fortress, there were no players from the Niu Ren Tribe. Beyond two thousand yards, there were densely packed heads, stretching to the end of the horizon. More than 300,000 troops were simply overwhelming and quite spectacular.

The Mage Alliance and Holy Guardians had more than 100,000 troops guarding Ageron Fortress, and another 600,000 were waiting in Moonlight City and various towns. Once the war started, they would rush towards Ageron Fortress from all directions and fight the Niu Ren Tribe to the death.

Kuang Fa understood that it was very dangerous to trap 700,000 troops in one fortress. The 600,000 troops outside could be used as mobile forces.

Ageron Fortress was as solid as a rock. He wanted to see what method the Niu Ren Tribe would use to attack.

The thirty-seven Frost Armored Catapults of the Niu Ren Tribe were lined up two thousand yards away. These Frost Armored Catapults were like ferocious behemoths. Kuang Fa was most afraid of these things. Once the war started, the power of these things would be too terrifying. If thirty-seven Frost Armored Catapults fired two rounds in unison, the front of the city wall of Ageron Fortress would probably cease to exist.

The Mage Alliance had tried every possible means and only managed to get eleven Armored Catapults. These Armored Catapults were guarding the top of the wall and had a great range advantage. The Frost Armored Catapults should not be able to rush in.

The two sides confronted each other, and the air seemed to become heavy. The war was imminent, and both the players of the Niu Ren Tribe and the players of the Mage Alliance were somewhat nervous.

Kuang Fa paced back and forth anxiously on the city wall. The Niu Ren Tribe was at the city, but had not attacked for a long time. He always had a feeling of unease in his heart.

"The Niu Ren Tribe is strong enough. They probably have calculated that our Armored Catapults can only reach a range of about sixteen hundred yards. If we fight, they will definitely suffer. That's why they have not attacked for a long time. Since they know that they can't break through, why are they still fighting? What are they waiting for?" Saint Flame murmured. The Niu Ren Tribe's actions were somewhat abnormal. Were they looking for an opportunity?

What exactly did the Niu Ren Tribe want to do? Kuang Fa was a little confused.

Just as Kuang Fa was guessing in his heart, a commotion broke out in the Niu Ren Tribe's forces. Some players in the center retreated like a tide. Giant machines appeared at the end of the horizon, moving very slowly, getting closer and closer, and finally stopped about two thousand yards away from Ageron Fortress. Kuang Fa and Saint Flame and others looked over there. Those large machines were several times larger than Armored Catapults. Their structure was very complicated, like a large wooden cart.

"What is this thing?" The players of the Mage Alliance next to them asked in surprise.

"It's a Ballista Catapult!" Kuang Fa finally recognized this thing. He had seen this thing on the forum, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time. This rare thing was usually difficult to collect. He didn't expect that the Niu Ren Tribe had already obtained Ballista Catapults, and there were as many as six of them!

This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the Mage Alliance.

"It's over." The hearts of all the high-level members of the Mage Alliance sank to the bottom.

Saint Flame next to him was already planning where they should go after the Mage Alliance was defeated. At this time, the Niu Ren Tribe had six Ballista Catapults and thirty-seven Frost Armored Catapults. They were simply unmatched. In the face of these weapons of mass destruction, the Mage Alliance was no different from hitting a stone with an egg.

These Ballista Catapults stopped, and the players next to them removed its wheels and then began to disassemble and reassemble it. This process was very cumbersome and complex. After about fifteen minutes, a giant catapult slowly emerged. The size of this catapult was twice that of an Armored Catapult. A thick wooden pole was across the top of the Armored Catapult, five yards long.

These Ballista Catapults had great launching power and were excellent weapons for siege warfare. The ammunition they used was huge stones weighing up to three hundred pounds. These stones were thrown into the air and then fell down. The power of these stones could be imagined. Even the most solid city wall would probably have a hard time withstanding the bombardment of these stones.

Six Ballista Catapults were set up. A group of warriors, three people in a group, struggled to carry the boulders onto the catapults. Everything was ready, waiting for the order from above.

Nie Yan looked at the video and thought to himself, these six Ballista Catapults will become the nightmare of the Mage Alliance!

At this time, the guild chat was already boiling.

"Leader Nie Yan, Leader Knife Light, let's fight!"

"Level Ageron Fortress! From now on, Moonlight City will be ours!"

"Leader, give the order."

"Brothers, the Niu Ren Tribe is invincible, let's kill our way into Ageron Fortress!"

The players of the Niu Ren Tribe in the guild chat were already anxiously howling, and their morale had risen to the extreme. The most fundamental reason was that they firmly believed that the Niu Ren Tribe would win. This belief in victory was enough to sweep away any powerful guild.

The players of the Niu Ren Tribe were anxiously waiting. The struggle between the Mage Alliance, the Holy Guardians, and the Niu Ren Tribe had a long history and had never stopped. Many people had suffered losses from the Mage Alliance and the Holy Guardians, and many players of the Niu Ren Tribe had slaughtered hundreds or thousands of people from the Mage Alliance and the Holy Guardians.

The old grudges destined the two sides to either die or be destroyed.

Today's battle should silence the Mage Alliance forever!
