Chapter 1655: Chapter 1655: The Second Card

Li Yao came back to his senses, only to find himself surrounded by guards, tightly protected.

"Sir, what’s wrong?" Morning Wind asked with concern, "You lost consciousness for over fifteen minutes."

"Is that so? But it’s nothing, I just saw a pitiful creature." Li Yao said.

Morning Wind was speechless, thinking, you’re standing here dazed, who did you see? Seeing a ghost is more likely.

However, seeing Li Yao didn’t intend to say more, she didn’t ask further. As long as Li Yao was alright, because if not, this battle would be hard to continue.

The battle continued as both sides consumed each other’s strength. It must be said that Dalkhan had managed Daisom like an ironclad fortress. If it weren’t for the unexpected presence of the Drying Sun, the Withered Sun Legion would have suffered a significant loss just to breach the opponent’s walls.

The internal defenses were even more exaggerated, with many Magic Crystal Cannons directly within buildings, making it very difficult to destroy these cannons, given the sturdiness and complexity of the internal structures.

According to the Mages, the rune consumption for this fortress was equivalent to half of what Silvermoon City would use.

Silvermoon City is the main city of high elves, known for its elegant and luxurious style. For the Mages to reach such a conclusion, the Gold Coin spent here in Daisom was so much it was shocking.

"Wow, this psycho is real crazy. Why hoard such wealth in this worn-out place?"

"Yeah, with this amount of money, I’d raise an army, build a big city, and develop a massive military force. This guy used all this money to build a crappy fortress."

"Isn’t that right? No wonder this guy is living such a miserable life. Doesn’t understand anything, a total squanderer."

Li Yao briefed Starfire with the Mage’s summary. Now that everyone was working together on the task, they naturally needed to interact with other players.

Moreover, Starfire can easily accept good tasks. Some tasks cannot be completed by just one guild, so Starfire seeks partners.

Of course, a bunch of people want to get closer to Starfire’s group, forming a stark contrast to the previous envy, jealousy, and rejection.

After all, everyone was aiming for military achievements. Being here now means they’ve already boarded the Withered Sun Legion’s ship, with reputation all above respect level.

Withdrawing now would mean all previous efforts were for nothing. In this situation, pragmatic players have adjusted their mindset.

Having interactions means chatting together, bragging a bit, and from the information obtained from Li Yao, it’s practically exclusive official news once spread.

With this circulation, everyone basically knew the situation, each looking at the fortress as if viewing a gold mine.

But the current situation is that it clearly looks like Li Yao intends to flatten the fortress. Large numbers of summoned creatures were fighting at the front, with various Stone throwers and such in countless rows at the rear.

Both sides continued their long-range weapon warfare, and after half a day of mutual bombardment, the flames of the battle intensified.

Li Yao didn’t limit the time of their attack. With the Tower of the Windwalker occupied and relocated, the Withered Sun Legion didn’t need to worry about supply issues.

After all, staying there involved the same consumption, and with the Drying Sun as this super Air Fortress, there’s no concern over supply and transportation problems.

Until evening, both sides were still crazily bombing and slaughtering, though not as fiercely as during the day.

The air forces from both sides also returned synchronously, as after dark, even the Gargoyles didn’t have the same combat prowess as during the day.

The same applied to Starfire, nighttime combat, especially aerial combat, was more chaotic and harder to control. Besides, if the entire air force entangled at night and any situation arises, it would be troublesome.

"This layer of defense is really too strong. Thankfully there are new recruits; otherwise, just relying on us, we wouldn’t know how many sacrifices we’d have to make." Morning Wind shared dinner with Li Yao on the warship.

"That’s why he’s stupid; no defense is impenetrable. If he doesn’t invest in more troops with this money, it’s just foolish. Anyway, I’m not in a hurry. Tell the Doomsday Mage and Magicians not to skimp on Mana Potions. Keep summoning the Demons as they die. Let’s compare, we have both time and patience." Li Yao said carelessly.

Morning Wind sighed, "Enclosing himself in a dead end is truly unwise."

Players without long-range siege equipment, as long as their reputation is sufficient, can casually wander in designated areas on the ship, passing the time easily.

The only displeased one was Dalkhan. Even though he’s Undead, not needing rest wouldn’t be a problem. But he’s a proud Undead, meticulous in nature, highly dissatisfied with Li Yao’s idea of continuing to battle late into the night, angrily calling Li Yao unrefined.

However, it was useless. Ever since he and his army were trapped in Daisom, the decision to fight or not fight was no longer in his hands.

The next morning, the most front rows of those sturdy massive buildings behind the walls were riddled with holes.

Both sides were still bombing each other, but with continuous destruction and insufficient range for the machinery at the back, Daisom’s firepower had become sparse.

Through the night, Li Yao’s Engineer Insects didn’t remain idle, collecting large quantities of wreckage to convert into energy units. Meanwhile, all nests inside Li Yao’s mother insect were furiously producing various troops.

Li Yao had decided that once this place was captured, he would turn Daisom into an insect nest, specially providing frontline tank Fire Poison Cockroaches for the Withered Sun Legion.

The Undead army couldn’t help but retreat further, retreating under the protection of rear long-range weapons.

The Withered Sun Legion advanced again, taking control of a third of Daisom. Moreover, players rushed wildly to the Command Department to designate suitable areas for placing their long-range machines.

Both sides’ air forces clashed fiercely again, pushing the battle into the white-hot phase.

Dalkhan finally unleashed all his crisis awareness, ready to continue turning the tide. If not, at this rate, within two to three days, he would have nowhere to retreat.

"Sir, quickly come to the deck, there’s new development." Li Yao was resting in his captain’s cabin when Morning Wind hurriedly ran in.

"Oh, let’s go see." Li Yao quickly walked towards the deck.

This time Dalkhan indeed deployed his trump card, a terrifying army of skeletons.

Yes, an army of skeletons, but these skeletons were quite large. They were like giants, each standing at around twenty to thirty yards tall.

The earth continuously trembled as the enormous white skeletal giants charged, the fearsome sickles in their hands mowing through summoned creatures and players’ own guard troops like harvesting wheat.

These skeletons were terrifyingly strong. It’s one thing for them to be massive and have high attack power; even if one couldn’t kill them, their enormous strength and frightful Bone Scythes could easily sweep away countless soldiers.

The engineering machinery crumbled like paper in front of these skeletons, with a single foot stomping down, directly crushing it, and casual swings of the Bone Scythes could sweep away vast crowds.

At this moment, the skeleton army was invincible, with no one able to halt their momentum...
