Absolute Death Game-Chapter 519 - 16 Xuan Zhenzi’s Invitation_2

Among these siege weapons, a considerable number were primarily targeting the city gates. The battering rams and stone-throwing carts took turns firing, setting their intervals at approximately a dozen seconds. It seemed they hoped to have the gates smoothly opened by the time the army reached the base of the city walls.

Despite having seen such scenes more than once, the experience of being in the midst of it still made one's blood surge with excitement, causing the two men to take a deep breath involuntarily.

"Our boss is really awesome," he whispered.

The muscular warrior player beside him revealed a knowing smile. It wasn't their first time carrying out a espionage mission, so they were quite cautious. After having their fill of the spectacle of the siege, the two began to wander aimlessly atop the city walls. Seemingly casual, in actuality, the crowd had steadily dispersed evenly.

The "boss" mentioned by those players was currently riding a warhorse, sitting steadily in an open space behind the besieging lineup. Beside him, dozens of black warhorses were lined up, carefully observing the situation on the field.

Tactics had been deployed before the battle. In ancient times, it was very difficult to truly command within the massive armies because the most challenging aspect was the exchange of intelligence once the battle unfolded. However, fortunately, they were playing a game now, where a UT software could easily overcome the dilemmas that the ancients could not solve.

At that moment, the engineering team made a breakthrough. After their relentless efforts, a breach had finally been blown open in the city gates. Although it didn't look very big from a distance, experience told them it was enough.

"Espionage troops, pay attention, the gate is open, act immediately," Han Wenhuan's excited voice shouted through the UT channel.

A howl~~ A cheer came through the players who had been standing atop the battlements for a while promptly drew their weapons and fiercely slashed at the archers defending beside them.

These archers were initially unaware, focusing intently on shooting towards the frontline. Suddenly, bloodied bodies lay before them, and with a loud cry, chaos ensued on the city walls. Because the archers' hand-to-hand combat was not strong, they desperately tried to flee. Soldiers below the walls, seeing the confusion above, immediately rushed to help. But those below couldn't get up, and those above couldn't get down, completely trapped in place, plunging the entire defending force into disarray.

Without the hindrance of arrow rains, the NPC soldiers below put down their heavy shields and increased the speed of their advance.

Wen Huan, who was commanding at the front, didn't hesitate at all. With a wave of the command flag, an elite NPC troop in light armor advanced quickly and swarmed into the gate, instantly colliding with the defending army within the city.

Wen Huan, watching the battle before him, felt elated, a constant smile on his face. He relished the current feeling, commanding thousands of troops to attack and conquer cities—an experience he could only dream of before. Although other games had city warfare systems, none were as lifelike as this one.

While contemplating, he waved the command flag again, and dozens of ladder carts were pushed toward the city walls. The ladders on these carts were exceptionally wide, forming ramp-like pathways; as long as they were near the walls, soldiers could charge directly onto the ramparts.

The defense on the city walls was already in chaos, powerless to oppose the ladders.

Xiao Buli, mounted on his horse, watched the battlefield before him, his heart thrilling with excitement. Perhaps he was the only one on the battlefield who could feel this so vividly—as if he had traveled back to ancient times. Cold weapon combat was indeed invigorating.

However, all this was thanks to the GM's scepter. With the game data it provided, along with his years of gaming experience and understanding, he was able not only to establish Qingyang Empire as a vast empire in just a couple of months, recruiting hundreds of players and amassing tens of thousands of NPC soldiers, but also to continuously grind for experience and Prestige. By now, Qingyang Empire had established its rule over approximately one-tenth of the mainland's southwest territory, though this was limited to the human world. As for the dungeons hidden within those territories, god knows what kind of monsters were lurking within.

Although these NPC soldiers were not as combat capable as the players, their numbers were vast, and they were fearless, so they became the focus of fire in every battle, taking on most of the fighting duties. The rapid rise of Qingyang Empire owed much to these NPC soldiers.

Under Wen Huan's command, the combat effectiveness of these NPC soldiers was maximized.

"This city has fallen!" Wen Huan confidently declared, seeing more and more soldiers overwhelm the ramparts.

Of course, the rapid development of Qingyang Empire also had much to do with the joining of numerous solo players. Attracting so many solo players was partly due to the very powerful capability of pioneering dungeons. It was widely rumored that Qingyang had a high-quality intelligence corps, but in fact, this was a false lead deliberately released by Xiao Buli.

Otherwise, how could he explain the game data obtained from the GM's scepter?

By now, Buli seldom led teams himself. Those who had joined Qingyang Guild and participated in the dragon-slaying campaign had become leaders, big and small. Buli would schedule dungeons suitable for each team's strength daily and develop battle plans. The old saying goes, know your enemy and know yourself, and you will be victorious in every battle; this strategy of playing the game with a guide could not be compared to the previous blind approach.
