Standing on the tower of Patrick's fortress, you can see with your own eyes that in the gravel wasteland in front of the fortress, the players of the shadows are lined up in a neat phalanx, with banners and dust, and one by one the neat phalanx is slowly advancing forward.

Miss Ren was very excited and excited, it was estimated that she had grown so big, and she had not had the experience of guarding her guild residence once, so she was just excited, but she didn't have any instructions to pass on.

"Shadow's performance in the later stages of "Vertical and Horizontal" is unexpected, and what he is best at is attacking cities and plundering land!" Joe Maniac stood beside me and said.

I glanced back at him, and then my eyes fell on the woman who was only level 1 behind him and was wearing a novice cloth robe, although she also had a habit of hiding her ID, but I think she was Yu Ruoxi, who was known as "Female Zhuge ".

Probably chosen when establishing the character, she was covered with a thin gauze scarf over her face, revealing two intelligent eyes.

Seeing me look at her, she smiled slightly and nodded, which was considered to be a greeting.

I nodded faintly.

Shadows are famous for their siege of cities and lands, and anyone who has played Vertical and Horizontal knows that their assassin units are called Ghosts, and they often appear in places you don't expect, targeting important enemy generals; And the other is their siege equipment, from the encounter in the land of the slope to the attack and defense of the fortress, it can be seen that the shadow cares about the siege equipment very much, almost carries it with him, and it is very flexible and easy to use. If it weren't for the opponent's wall-piercing crossbow, the Green Gang would not have been forced to take the initiative with a small number of people; If it weren't for the catapults, our Knights of the Dawn would have been able to defend the entrance to the square, let alone be in such a critical situation. The Shadow Assassin is terrifying, but the siege equipment is more photographable, and the Shadow that can use the siege equipment in field encounters will be a headache if it has a strong forward force.

Although the lethality of the siege equipment is very strong, it can almost be said that no knight can withstand it, but its disadvantages are also very obvious, that is, it burns money very, very much! If you just buy a LV1 catapult from an NPC, a 200,000 carapult, not to mention the power, with that kind of assembly speed and movement speed, once the whole army begins to retreat, these are difficult to take away, and the level is lost!

And you can't take only one catapult with you at a time, usually at least ten, and here alone is two million!

There is also the LV1 wall crossbow, the price is 100,000, and in terms of the current equipment of the Shadow, there are no less than 30 units, okay, another 3 million!

Building car,Necessary for siege,And the height of LV1's building car is only 10 meters (different levels of city walls need corresponding levels of building cars),Defense is not very good.,Simply put, it's a wooden frame.,A few boards nailed outside.,Just like that,NPC sells 150,000 pieces.。

You now know how Skymark makes money! And how much does it cost to fight a siege battle?

And that's just a drop in the ocean! Our shadows are even more exaggerated!

That is independent research and development, this kind of thing, really few people can do it. First of all, it is necessary to build two necessary buildings on its own site, one is a research room and the other is an instrument factory. I don't want to say anything about the resources and money invested in these two buildings, but we dicks can't even think of it anyway.

It's not these two buildings that burn even more money, but ......

After the establishment of the laboratory, none of the so-called researches, such as physical mechanics, ballistics, gunpowder and a series of scientific and technological research, were free of money. Ordinary guilds would not dare to get involved in this area, because there is still a certain probability of success in the research...... Very cheating setting, probability! That is, it is possible that all the previous investment will be wasted, and once it will return to the pre-liberation period.

But the Shadows are different, they dare to research and develop new technologies, and they are not afraid of investment failure.

Once they have developed a new type of crossbow, such as the LV1 enhanced version of the wall-piercing crossbow, then it is conceivable what the outcome will be in the battle between the two armies.

At the beginning of the game, even the Shadows didn't have that much investment in researching these things, but they were one step ahead of the other guilds in starting to use siege equipment on a large scale, and they were also used in wild encounters!

"I'm afraid the next battle will be even more brutal than the fortress!" I smiled wryly, "If you can't win, you'll be a great gift to the Shadows!" ”

In the battle to capture the fortress, there were already countless casualties, and if there were large-scale casualties in the process of being counterattacked, then the one who won in the end would be unexpectedly richly rewarded.

Shadow, or Creation?

Madman Qiao set his eyes on the neatly arranged shadows in front of the fortress, frowned slightly and said, "Defending the city, the last thing you want to encounter is the old thief of the Thousand Mountains!" ”

Mu Xue also frowned and said in a deep voice: "The siege efficiency of the Shadow Guild is indeed very scary! As soon as they came, we were lost in less than a few minutes! If the Shadows had come sooner, Iserlohn Fortress wouldn't have been able to hold it at all! ”

That's the only thing we can be thankful for, they have been running out of time by the time they arrive! However, there is no way to do it, if they openly declare war, then it will arouse the rejection of all players in Silvermoon City, and the level 5 walls of the fortress are too high......

And if we don't declare war on the fortress while seizing the port against the current, we will also close the city gate in time for a rainy day, and the siege will be even more difficult.

Therefore, under the conditions of the time, Shadow had no choice but to use a long-distance attack to enter the fortress and capture the council chamber.

If I hadn't fired a shot in his back, the fortress would have undoubtedly fallen into the hands of the Shadows. And after the shadow controls the fortress, it is simply easy to seize the port, and in the end, it is not impossible to take Silver Moon City from both sides.

Yiqiē's plan was perfect, but unfortunately, he didn't expect that the rock-solid Patrick fortress would fall in just a few minutes, which was definitely unexpected for him.

And thanks to Bai Xiaosheng, a former comrade-in-arms of Thousand Mountains and Moon Shadow, among the tips he gave me, there was a map that marked in detail the location of Patrick's troops and key buildings, as well as the hidden way that affected the decisive factor of the entire war.

Patrick's fort is built on a hill with the Freya Mountains in the background. There are not many other ways to do this mountain range, one of which is the underground water channel that connects to the fortress. Because the terrain in the cave is extremely complicated, if it weren't for Bai Xiaosheng's map, we might not be able to find the cave that really leads to the fortress even if we scattered 100,000 people.

The value of this message is no longer worth 100,000 to measure! And I'm priceless!

We've taken the fort, but we're going to face even greater tests! It's the Shadow Siege Army that can destroy our Knights of the Dawn in a matter of minutes.
