Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Catapult

“Little Brother Jian, someone’s attacking us, I’m coming over right away!” Li Ke’er was the first to contact Song Jian and said directly.

Soon, Wang Qi and his team also said they would be there shortly;

Song Jian turned his head to look at Luo Tianyu’s camp, and it didn’t take long for Luo Tianyu to lead her troops out of the camp, standing on an empty space;

At this moment, Song Jian suddenly noticed that on a vacant space in the southwest direction of his territory, a milky-white light suddenly burst forth, the light grew more and more intense, and in no time, a three-story bar appeared on the empty space;

Li Ke’er walked out of the bar’s entrance, followed by a group of thugs dressed in bar attire;

“Brother Song, I’ve moved the bar to the war alliance’s territory!” Li Ke’er waved at Song Jian, her face full of smiles.

Players who join the war alliance have one chance to move their safe house to the war alliance’s territory, but few people do so, because once their safe house is moved to the war alliance’s territory, if the territory is breached, their hard- earned safe house will be destroyed, returning to square one.

Safe houses that are not inside the war alliance’s territory will not be affected even if the alliance is captured. Most players join a war alliance just to find a backer, so they rarely move their safe houses to the war alliance’s territory and share life and death with them.

“They’ll be attacking in a while, come and get some high-explosive grenades and self-destructing robots first!” Song Jian shouted to the two.

There were many good things in the war alliance’s warehouse, but they could only be taken with Contribution Points, and high-explosive grenades and self- destructing robots were even more useful in wars. To defend his territory, Song Jian spared no expense and provided them all for free;

Li Ke’er and Luo Tianyu each took ten high-explosive grenades and ten self- destructing robots, then Li Ke’er began setting traps around the territory.

Song Jian ordered the Blood Crow to fly in all directions to investigate the movements of these six war alliances. Song Jian estimated that these six alliances should attack together rather than in separate attacks;

After all, each of them was weaker than Song Jian, and if they attacked separately, they would likely be defeated one by one by Song Jian;

Soon, Wang Qi and his teammates all arrived at Song Jian’s territory, ready for battle;

“Brother Song, just tell us how to fight, we’ll listen to you!” Wang Qi said;

With a serious face, Song Jian looked at the war alliance’s store and directly bought all the defensive equipment in it. This time, more than 200,000 Doomsday Coins were invested, making him feel a tinge of pain;

However, these defensive devices were all worth the investment. Row upon row of caltrops were placed on the streets along the six attackers’ approach routes, with shops and buildings everywhere. To attack, they had to clear these caltrops first;

Next, six mobile arrow towers were placed by Song Jian at the sides behind the caltrops. Once the enemy approached, these mobile arrow towers would attack mercilessly;

Then, Song Jian placed the bloody corpses around the arrow towers to protect them. These bloody corpses could act as cannon fodder, and even if they were all killed, Song Jian wouldn’t care;

The Blood Wolves, on the other hand, were scattered around the shops and buildings as ambushers. Once the enemy came, they could launch surprise attacks in the chaos.

Since the war was about to begin, all the employees in the territory had already entered the Manor Castle, protected by tall walls, so the enemies wouldn’t attack them for a while;

If the Manor Castle couldn’t protect them, it would mean that Song Jian had lost the war, and these NPCs would be taken away as resources;

Luo Tianyu led fifty soldiers, guarding behind the defensive measures. In front of her was a more than 100-meter-wide open space. Once the enemy attacked here, Luo Tianyu would lead her soldiers to form a battle formation and launch an attack;

Although the number of soldiers that could be led increased with level growth, Luo Tianyu was somewhat disappointed that she could only recruit the cheapest spearmen. If she could recruit cavalry, even if there were only a dozen or twenty of them, Luo Tianyu was confident that she could completely wipe out the attacking enemies;

Everyone was on high alert, and half an hour later, a large group of people appeared at the edge of the war alliance’s territory.

Jiang Shan stood among the crowd, looking at the dense caltrops ahead and the arrow towers behind them, his face suddenly became grim.

“Boss, they’re really well-prepared. How are we going to get through this? How about… we change directions of attack?” A scout-class player, who returned from the front, couldn’t help but say after reporting the situation.

“Change direction? Can you be sure that there are no traps in the other directions?” Jiang Shan said coldly, “And how much trouble it is to move all our siege equipment back and forth? Time is against us. Once we change directions, they can adjust their defenses according to our movements at any time, and we can only waste time in vain!”

Frustrated, Jiang Shan turned to the other war alliance leaders and asked, “What do you guys think?”

A chubby player hesitated for a while as he looked at the territory Song Jian had built, and finally said with a flattering smile, “Jiang Shan is the leader this time around; we, of course, listen to Jiang Shan.”

The other people nearby also expressed their support, “Yes, yes, we listen to Jiang Shan!”

Jiang Shan revealed a smile and nodded, “Well then, let’s bring the catapults over, demolish those caltrops first, and then we’ll talk. Hmph, thinking these things will wear down our combat power is just daydreaming!”

“Yeah, Jiang Shan has a good idea. Let’s use the catapults to destroy all the caltrops. Haha, that way, these things will be useless, and they’ll have wasted a large sum of money!”

“Indeed, indeed, these caltrops are not cheap. I’ve seen them in the war alliance store. This dense array must have taken at least tens of thousands of Doomsday Coins!”

“Blow them up, blow them up! We can’t risk our brothers’ lives for this!”

For a moment, everyone chimed in, and soon, several catapults were pushed over by a group of players;

The catapults made a creaking noise as the long launch arms bent over, and large stone bullets appeared in their baskets.

“Little Brother Jian, they’re going to use the catapults to destroy the caltrops! Quickly, teleport me over, I can add defenses to the caltrops!” Li Ke’er looked anxious as she jumped and shouted.

The territory was an extension of Song Jian’s Manor Castle, where he could teleport freely and even assign any NPC to any corner within the territory;

If the player agreed, Song Jian naturally could also move them to any corner within the territory;

Upon hearing Li Ke’er’s shout, Song Jian’s mind moved, and her figure flashed, appearing tens of meters away from the caltrops;
