Dawn

The first day of the siege.

The Catapult tactics of both sides had already begun.

The stones in the sky burst into flames, flying back and forth like a meteor shower.

Every now and then, giant rocks would collide in the sky, showering down sparks and creating thunderous explosions that echoed through the heavens.

Black Rock did not choose to attack.

The Rhine City also had few soldiers guarding its walls; everyone was hiding in safe places and waiting.

Waiting for the moment when all the Catapult are destroyed.

The third day of the siege.

Both sides' Catapult were constantly worn down, whether from being hit or from their own wear and tear reaching their limit, which greatly reduced the number of catapults flying in the sky.

In front of the Blackrock Army formation, huge rocks embedded in the earth appeared, turning the once solid roads and grasslands into scorched black.

Countless buildings within Rhine City suffered further damage, and dozens of plumes of black smoke rose into the sky. It was unclear how many people were trying to extinguish the floodwaters, or perhaps those shouts for help were merely a ploy to lure Black Rock into launching an attack.

In the darkness of night.

The rain of stones streaked across the night sky, almost illuminating the entire battlefield.

A tower in the Rhine City was struck by a boulder and collapsed to pieces.

A Catapult at the Black Rock trebuchet position was also suddenly struck by a boulder, exploding with a thud and killing several unfortunate trebuchets to death.

The seventh day.

The slinging tactic continued.

The walls of Rhine City were still riddled with holes, but anyone could see that this was nothing compared to the damage done to Rhine City.

Luck, 13 of the 20 arrow towers on the walls of Rhine City were destroyed.

Day 15.

The stones being thrown from the sky were already starting to appear sparse.

Despite this situation, the Marquis Solz still did not choose to attack.

Day 20.

News suddenly broke in the Steel Country that a Grand Nobles seemed to be completely loyal to Goethe Nassis had led his Legion, which was supposed to be guarding the country, to launch a surprise attack on friendly forces. In no time, the rebels were unstoppable.

at the same time.

The internal strife in the Steel Duchy completely erupted, with some Nobles who had not died or were completely loyal to Goethe leading their own armies or private soldiers in rebellion.

That afternoon.

The Blackrock Duchy ordered a full-scale attack.

The battle did not last long; after each side had lost a thousand men, the Marquis Solz sounded the retreat.

But for the next three whole days...

Solz kept issuing orders for a full-scale charge.

There were six instances of both truth and falsehood!

In just three days.

The Rhine City garrison became somewhat exhausted due to this tactic.

But this tactic is really effective.

The Marquis Solz took only six days.

However, Goethe Nassis really doesn't dare to take the initiative now, because the internal strife is definitely not something that the Nobles can confide in each other; it is definitely a conspiracy, and he has already dispatched two Legion to quell the unrest.

Therefore, in a short period of time, the defending forces did not exceed Black Rock's strength by much.

Although attacking a city would result in greater losses of manpower.

In this world of Battle Aura and Magic, there are many defensive and offensive methods. If one side gains the upper hand, the war could end in a very short time.

It is highly likely that a single, all-out assault will gain the upper hand, followed by a gradual, methodical advance to capture the entire Rhine City.

Standing before the endless Military Formation, William gazed at Rhine City and murmured to himself, "The rebellion that happened long after my last life has surfaced at this crucial juncture. It seems the Blackrock Duchy intervened, thus buying some time."

"If Handur has shown up, there's no reason why Lanster won't." For the first time, William sensed a deadly crisis, so he didn't Adventure rushing up the city wall.

High-Class Professional.

In such a low-level battlefield, he is undoubtedly a match for ten thousand men.

Even though he possessed Legendary Bloodline and was extremely handsome, he didn't dare to tug at Lanster's sexy stubble.

This old bastard won't refrain from making a move on me just because I'm Handsome.

Low-Class might be able to try against intermediate players, but that's only effective against Murloc...

Fighting High-Class while being mid-level is practically suicide.

Of course, you can also go and fight Murloc and Goblin...

"Fortunately Lanster and Handur only have Grandmaster Bloodline. If they were Epic or Legendary, then they would be the key to deciding the outcome of this war."

"Now we can only hope that Lanster and Handur will perish together, just like in their previous lives."

"Although it's a bit unrealistic, battles between masters often only last a moment. Especially since I remember Lanster had a move called 'Heaven and Earth Return Together,' right?"

William pondered silently. It would be difficult for him to reach level 70 in a short time. Right now, it takes more than 700,000 experience points to level up even once. In addition, with his Skill not yet fully upgraded, he would need at least 6 million experience points to become High-Class Professional. It was so frustrating that it was almost unbearable.

The Dungeon Crystal are currently very difficult to obtain, and there aren't many rewards yet, so he can only endure it.

"Then we'll have to resort to underhanded tactics!" William glanced at Lotner, telling his trusted men to guard the Marshal Banner and not charge into battle, while he silently gripped the Illusion Scroll and quietly left with Alec.

He must resolve this war quickly.

Moreover, they also had to secretly control these two Duchy, a task that was incredibly difficult.

William had already made many preparations, and the key was the Illusion Scroll he had obtained from Moxis long ago.

What is formulation?

Before using the Illusion Scroll, choose a target.

You can become that person yourself...

This kind of wonderful item is a treasure that only High-Class illusionist could create.

If Illusion Scroll has a one-year validity period, then only an illusion Archmage can create it. In short, William's method is to switch the contents out of the box and substitute the contents with something else entirely!

As for what exactly should be done...

It's not the right time to say it now.

He knew all along that the Dark Invasion was going to happen. In version 2.0, regardless of who won or lost, the two Duchy would die at the hands of the Dark Creatures unless they preserved a full 40 Legion.

so.

He wanted to end the war quickly, taking the vast majority of the young population with him. As for those left behind, they would have no way to survive except to flee to the Grand Duchy in the north.

It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but that he was powerless to do so...

Faced with an overwhelming number of Dark Tide, even if he reached High-Class, he could only guard one area.

At that point, he could only rely on a puppet King to order all his subjects to travel north...

By then.

The Dawn City will become the only remaining ray of dawn on this land.

Just as he was leaving.

A bugle call sounded!

The sound of drums echoed across the battlefield.

All troops, charge!
