No one can deny the important or even decisive role of sneak attacks in a war. There are not many wars in history where the advantages and disadvantages are reversed due to laxity and carelessness. This is what Eclipse is doing now. He lost the holy sword.
Exelid's morale has been greatly reduced, so a victory is urgently needed to make up for it.
In other words, reversal.
However, even if a sneak attack on an ordinary fortress or stronghold is successful, it will obviously not have much effect. Let Yutian Guild, Fengqing Pavilion and other guilds attack the Jianzhong Guild fortress together just to use it as a bridgehead, and then build a camp step by step, bit by bit.
It's just pushing and nibbling away.
However, there is not so much time now. Eclipse is very clear about his situation at this moment. It is absolutely not an exaggeration to call him standing on the edge of a cliff.
To sum up, Eclipse must sneak attack an important fortress or stronghold that can reverse the situation or even determine the outcome of the war. Having said that, the answer is undoubtedly obvious——
Sunset Fortress!
As the location of the headquarters of the Utopia Guild, the Sunset Fortress can be described as "vital". Once it is successfully attacked by Eclipse, that is, it is successfully occupied, the blow to the major guilds headed by the Utopia Guild will be very fatal.
The impact of losing the Holy Sword Exelid can be minimized.
As Zi Xun said, what Eclipse Shadow needs to do is not to obtain Baradion or defend the Holy Sword Exelid, but to defeat Xu Xiang. The first two are just inducements.
However, even if it is a sneak attack, it is not as easy as imagined to successfully occupy the Sunset Fortress. As a sworn enemy, Xianying is very aware of the investment of the Ideal Township Guild in this fortress. Don't forget that Xu Xiang also has the cash cow of Cangqiong Drugstore.
, in addition to daily expenses and funds as reserves, a large part was lost in this fortress.
It is said that even the magic cannon has been researched by the Utopia Guild. As for the authenticity of Shadow Eclipse, there is no way to verify it. Only players at the guild level can inquire about the detailed development information of the fortress.
Although it is uncertain whether there is a magic cannon in the Sunset Fortress, in order to ensure the success rate of the sneak attack, Eclipse still tries his best to gather all available forces, including some external forces. If necessary, he will also use the key that has been buried for a long time.
Sexual trump card.
"Fengxiang has appeared in Elpa City, along with his followers."
Just when Eclipse was taking stock of the power he controlled and estimating the success rate of a sneak attack on the Sunset Fortress, Zi Xun's voice without any emotion came from the side: "They forcibly broke through the gate of Elpa City.
, we encountered the returning Templar troops on the way and are now fighting."
"Very good." After hearing the good news, Eclipse felt a little more confident. He smiled slightly and said loudly, "Everyone, move forward at full speed. We will reach the Sunset Fortress in a minute or two!"
"President Eclipse Shadow, it's not that I increase the morale of others and destroy my own prestige, are you sure you can only rely on these people to capture the Sunset Fortress?" As soon as Eclipse Shadow finished speaking, it seemed that he was no longer very cold towards him, or that he didn't like to see him.
Fengqing jumped out and raised objections.
But there is nothing wrong with that charming look. In fact, this question is exactly what many people here want to ask.
Those currently led by Eclipse Shadow to attack the Sunset Fortress are players from several major guilds who have eight-level flying mounts or above. The number is not large, just more than twenty, but more than twenty eight-level flying mounts are definitely the current
Air power is second to none, and its loyalty can be trusted.
Unfortunately, even if this is the case, even if the Sunset Fortress is indeed undefended, it will not be possible to successfully capture it in a short time.
You must know that the main defensive force of a fortress comes from various city defense buildings. Let alone the most threatening magic cannon, a large number of arrow towers and turrets alone are enough to cause certain damage to eighth-level flying mounts.
In addition, there are defensive barriers with durability of hundreds of thousands or even millions, which is no joke.
Flying is the biggest advantage of flying mounts, but it is not the only advantage. Once the speed slows down, the sky without shelter will inevitably make it a living target.
More importantly, the Sunset Fortress cannot be left undefended. Any Utopia guild player can quickly return to the fortress in a non-combat state. Unless the defensive barrier can be quickly destroyed and the fortress is occupied, it is very likely that
It will evolve into the result that the sneak attack fails and ends up costing Chirp's life.
"Have I ever said that we can only rely on these people?" As if he had expected that someone would raise this question, Xiu Ying said slowly.
"That……"
"Don't worry, you just need to help me block the Ideal Township guild players who return to the Sunset Fortress for the first time. I also have arrangements at the city gate, and I will help you share the pressure when the time comes." A rather handsome face showed up.
With a smile that said he was sure of victory, Xiying spoke word by word.
"What about the defensive barrier?" After a slight hesitation, the God of War raised the most critical question this time. If the defensive barrier could not be destroyed quickly, everything would be in vain.
"You don't have to worry about the defensive barrier problem, I have my own solution." Eclipse's voice suddenly became louder, with supreme confidence in his tone, "In just half a minute, no matter the defensive barrier of Sunset Fortress,
The world is so strong, give me half a minute to destroy it!"
"Half a minute?!" Hearing Egying's words, most of the people present couldn't help but froze for a moment.
What you must first know is that the reason why defensive barriers become a powerful weapon for defending a city, and a major obstacle to attacking a city, is that it is not affected by abnormal conditions, that is, critical hits, defense reduction, penetration, etc. are greatly increased.
All the output effects cannot be triggered, and coupled with the extremely high reduction, the output required to destroy the defensive barrier is generally at least ten times more than usual, and some special defensive barriers are even higher.
However, Eclipse said that the defensive barrier of Sunset Fortress could be destroyed in half a minute. If it weren't for the supreme confidence contained in his tone, many people would have scoffed.
But even so, many people are still skeptical about Eclipse's words or wait and see. If the defensive barrier of the Sunset Fortress is really destroyed in half a minute, the attack on the fortress will be completed before the Utopia guild players return in large numbers.
Occupation, that is, sneak attacks can indeed be successful.
"It seems I still underestimated him a little."
Glancing at Egying, who still had a confident smile on his face, Xue Lian Huowu, who was flying at the back of the team, whispered to himself softly, with a strange look in his eyes, as if he was planning something.
