The combination of catapults, forbidden-spell mages, defense warrior legions, and level 150 Elite Players formed a complete offensive formation. It was the only strategy the seven strongest guilds had developed to counter the Iron Blood Brotherhood's level 160 elites.
Through his spies, Lu Yang learned how the enemy planned to attack. First, they would trade catapult fire and forbidden spells, forcing the Iron Blood Brotherhood players on the fortress walls to abandon their defenses. Then, Hell Warriors would form an ironclad formation to shield the level 150 elites as they attacked.
These one million level 150 elites were all special classes: Ninja, Samurai, Wrestler, Parthian Arcanist, Monk, Divine Warrior, Jungle Hunter (Archer), Nature Guardian (Elven Warrior), Fury Legion (Fire Mage), and other classes with exceptionally high damage or explosive burst potential.
Once they reached the city walls, neither side's catapults could be used. Catapult attacks did not distinguish between friend and foe; everyone within range suffered equal damage. Under such circumstances, Lu Yang's side could only send level 160 players to forcefully retake the walls. But level 160 players did not hold much of an advantage over level 150 players, and in a prolonged war of attrition, the enemy had a high chance of capturing the walls.
To deal with this move, Lu Yang had made corresponding preparations. Since he had dared to pull the front line back to Tiger's Maw Fortress, he had prepared for this long ago.
The response was actually simple: have large numbers of forbidden-spell mages cast forbidden spells, preventing the seven major guilds outside the fortress from smoothly delivering their level 150 elites onto the walls with their ironclad forces. Then, with the Lightning Towers in the rear providing support, they would forcibly withstand the enemy troops climbing the walls and gathering below them.
