[Hint: You have destroyed the core of Shabak, successfully captured Shabak, and the siege is over! You have become the lord of the ancient capital, Shabak!]
[Note: Shabak City has been occupied by the demonic faction. The demons must be cleared before any buildings can be used. Currently available areas: Royal Palace, Fel Sandbox.]
[Alert: Shabak is under attack. Please deploy defenses immediately!]
Several notifications popped up.
Zhou Yi looked at the giant sand table and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Welcome to Shabak..."
Players across the entire Dragon Kingdom region were completely bewildered.
No, the event has only just started, and your Starry Night event is already over?
Wouldn't all these players have come for nothing?
Arrogant and conceited, he stood frozen in mid-air, weapon in hand.
The word "charge" was stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter it.
Members of the Military Soul Guild and the War Song Guild were overjoyed.
The banner atop the city wall has become the symbol of the Starry Sky Guild.
Has the Starry Sky Guild taken over Shabak?
The portal opened, and more and more players flocked to it.
Not only players, but also NPCs from various cities and tribes responded to King Bichon's call to come and help in the battle.
A row of golden-armored guards stepped out.
The commander of Bichon City, riding a tall horse and wielding a greatsword, raised his voice and proclaimed:
"Warriors! Demons have invaded the ancient capital, burning, killing, and looting. We must drive them out of the capital, or our world will never know peace!"
[Notice: Siege and Conquest Event Begins! The demons have activated a fel energy array in Shabak, banning all flying mounts from the skies. Players are requested to follow their faction's army to the designated location and launch an attack!]
[You have been granted the protection of Holy Light: You will not lose attributes or experience upon death!]
All the players were invigorated.
Although I don't understand what the system is up to, it seems that the public event is not over yet!
Players began to follow their faction's NPCs.
Some factions are responsible for clearing out monsters, barricades, trenches, and defensive equipment on the perimeter.
Some went outside the city to attack special buildings and build siege machinery.
Some players ignored the NPCs and tried to attack the city gate, only to be killed by an arrow from an archer on the city wall as soon as they got close.
Meanwhile, in the Shabak Palace, Zhou Yi received messages from 99+ friends.
His posts have been tagged countless times on the world channel.
Everyone was asking him what was wrong.
Zhou Yi's lips curled up.
This tactic is called turning the tables.
The stars have become the masters of Shabak.
The goal of all activities will become the stars.
What he needs to do is use the demon army to wear down the NPCs.
Despite the large number of players, NPCs are the main force in the siege.
Once NPCs occupy the ancient capital, the difficulty of taking it back will increase by at least dozens of times.
Based on memories from a previous life, the NPC faction deployed its elite forces for this event, and after a fierce battle, finally captured Shabak, driving Archimonde back to his lair.
It wasn't until several months later, after several version updates, that players were able to regain control through a scripted kill.
Now, the demon faction has not suffered significant losses, and with proper maneuvering, they may be able to severely cripple the NPC army.
When a solo player showed off the epic equipment they had just obtained, the players instantly forgot about the Starry Sky Guild and frantically joined the attack.
Whether it's the stars or the Heavenly King himself, nothing can stop my determination to farm equipment!
Getting rich overnight is just around the corner.
From above, the players, densely packed like locusts, charged fearlessly towards the monster.
However, it was soon discovered that despite the large number of players, the majority were low-level players.
A single area-of-effect attack from the monster can melt hundreds or even thousands of people.
Some quick-thinking individuals have already begun to change their approach, going through the motions without putting in any real effort, and immediately rushing to loot the equipment dropped by someone who has died.
Some fight naked.
Their thinking was simple: how could they get loot if they weren't fully equipped?
This creates a vicious cycle.
Players are dealing less and less damage, relying entirely on the NPC army.
It wasn't until two hours later that the monsters on the perimeter were eliminated.
Upon completion of the phase task, all participants will be rewarded with a piece of equipment, the worst being green equipment and the best being blue equipment.
Those who perform exceptionally well will receive an epic piece of equipment.
The players were now in a frenzy.
Looking at the towering walls of Shabak, their eyes gleamed with a green light.
How generous would the reward be if we could break into the city?
Another half hour passed.
The ground trembled slightly, and a series of rumbling sounds came from afar.
The player turned his head and looked on in shock as the siege tanks slowly rolled in like steel behemoths.
Behind dozens of siege tanks were giant catapults, plague catapults, mobile towers, and other siege equipment.
Each one was enormous.
However, these instruments are still child's play compared to the walls of Shabak.
Zhou Yi stood atop the Shabak Palace, gazing into the distance.
The crowd was huge, and the cheers were deafening.
"The real battle has only just begun..."
"Godfather, can I play with these little figures?" Little Yiyi stood on tiptoe, looking at the figurines on the sand table.
Zhou Yi picked her up and placed her in his arms.
"Come on, I'll teach Xiao Yiyi how to play with the sandbox."
He placed the demon figurine on the sand table city wall and then put cannons on it.
The deafening bombardment began to come from outside the city.
Led by siege equipment, the players surged toward the city walls like a tidal wave.
It has a feeling of dark clouds looming over the city.
The cannons on the city wall slowly adjusted their direction.
boom!
A volley of shots.
Million-level damage numbers popped up above the player's head.
High-level players who followed the siege tanks were immediately eliminated.
The slower-moving solo players all came to a halt, their expressions filled with terror.
