Hearing Crimson Heartās conclusion, Cleansed Rue couldnāt help but tense up.
Thus far, the Hundred Flowers Palaceās fights with Starlink had only been minor skirmishes. Even so, the small forces Starlink had dispatched had been enough to threaten the Palace.
If Starlink were truly taking this battle seriously, it wouldnāt end as easily as they had hoped.
While Crimson Heart and Cleansed Rue ordered their players to man specific sections of the town walls, the Starlink members in the distance finally made their move. Slowly, the army parted in organized areas, opening multiple, small paths.
Players began to push Large Ballistas down these paths. The scene was so unexpected that the two Palace Vice Guild Leaders froze in shock.
Every player from the Hundred Flowers Palace on the walls was stupefied by what they saw.
They werenāt simply surprised by the Large Ballistas themselves, but by the fact that Starlinkās forces had arrived with more than a hundred of the war weaponsā¦
Even though they had never witnessed the power of Large Ballistas before, seeing them from afar was more than enough for them to understand that these weapons were extraordinarily powerful.
Aside from their massive size, the ballistasā steel arrows were engraved with crimson magic runes, which attracted the ambient Mana. Seeing the flow of Mana around the weapons, the Hundred Flowers Palaceās members realized that those arrows carried power at the Tier 3 standard or stronger. In other words, each Large Ballista had as much firepower as a Defense Turret.
And Moon Creek Town only had 8 Defense Turrets.
If all of those 100-plus Large Ballistas fired togetherā¦
āSo, this is why theyāre not in a hurry to attack.ā Crimson Heartās expression darkened as she watched Starlinkās players push the Large Ballistas into position.
Initially, she had thought that the Hundred Flowers Palace had some ability to fend off a superpower, but after seeing the Large Ballistas, she found the idea laughable.
āThis is Starlink?ā
āIs this a joke?! How are we supposed to fight that?!ā
The Palaceās players began to despair when they saw the massive war weapons, their fighting spirit vanishing.
Not only were they heavily outnumbered, but the difference between their war weapons was also massive. How were they supposed to fight such an enemy?
Surviving ten minutes against those Large Ballistas might not be possible, much less three hours.
At this point, the players in Moon Creek Town had gone into an uproar after witnessing Starlinkās forces. The various Guildsā spies in the town frantically reported the situation to their superiors.
While a 300,000-strong army of elites was a powerful force, it wasnāt impossible to defeat. An army of 100,000 elites, with the defenderās advantage, should be more than enough to repel the force.
However, it was a different story if the enemy had 100-plus Large Ballistas. With the current defensive capabilities available to Guild Towns, fending off so many powerful war weapons would be impossible. Not even the various superpowersā Guild Towns were an exception. As long as Starlink wanted to, it could eliminate any Guild Town it wished. Relying on a Guild Townās defenses to deter Starlink and secure a foothold in the Dark Night Empire was no longer possible for the various Guilds.
The moment word of Starlinkās Large Ballistas got out, it caused a commotion among the empireās various powers.
āHow is this possible?ā Unyielding Heart frowned as he read the report he had just received from a subordinate. āHow did Starlink get its hands on so many Large Ballistas?ā
Unyielding Soul had been keeping an eye on Starlinkās movements. Naturally, Starlinkās attempt to pacify the Hundred Flowers Palace hadnāt escaped the Guildās notice.
Unyielding Soul had been preparing in secret to help the Hundred Flowers Palace and foil Starlinkās plans, but now, the Guildās own towns might be at risk.
āThis move is trulyā¦ā Shadow Flower gritted her teeth when she saw the numerous Large Ballistas in the recording before her. āHow is this just an attempt to capture Moon Creek Town? Starlink is basically solidifying its position as the Dark Night Empireās overlord!ā
Starlink couldāve easily taken Moon Creek Town, yet it had taken its sweet time to set up blockades and use fanciful maneuvers. It was clear what Starlinkās true goal was-making an example of the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Starlink knew that the various major powers, including the two superpowers, were watching the situation in Moon Creek Town. So, it planned to use the Palace to prove its strength to the empireās various major powers!
āGuild Leader, do we still plan to head to Moon Creek Town?ā one of the Hundred Flowers Palaceās upper echelons could not help but ask.
āNotify Crimson and Rue! Tell them to abandon the town immediately and get as many people out of there as possible!ā Shadow Flower commanded, frustrated, after giving the matter some thought.
āUnderstood!ā
Silent Canyon, amidst Starlinkās army positioned outside of Moon Creek Townā¦
āGuild Leader, the Hundred Flowers Palaceās Crimson Heart has just contacted us to express the Palaceās willingness to hand Moon Creek Town over to us. In return, they have requested that we allow them to leave the town,ā Dawn Web, who wore a set of luxurious mage robes and carried a crystalline staff, said, smiling at Lu Xingluo.
āThey want to surrender now that theyāve realized how much stronger we are?ā Lu Xingluo revealed a playful smile. āFrom what Three and Tiger have told me, Zero Wingās members are participating in this war.ā
āThat is the case,ā Dawn Web confirmed.
āZero Wing has ruined my plans multiple times now. Since weāve met again, I want them to pay interest for their previous insults. Tell the Hundred Flowers Palace that if it wants to leave the Silent Canyon, it must kill every Zero Wing player in the town within the next ten minutes! Iāll allow them to leave the canyon safely if they complete the task. If not, they should abandon any hope of leaving this place alive!ā Lu Xingluo said, sneering.
āUnderstood! Iāll notify them right away!ā Dawn Web replied before sending her subordinates to relay the message. Meanwhile, standing on Moon Creek Townās wallsā¦
āBig Sis Crimson, Starlink has sent a reply. Zero Wing or survival; we can only choose one,ā Cleansed Rue said grimly as she read the message her subordinate had sent

āStarlink must really look down on our Guild,ā Crimson Heart said frostily. āNotify everyone! We will fight the enemy to the death! Even if we are annihilated, weāll take some of Starlinkās forces with us! Rue, organize an expert legion. Once the battle begins, escort Zero Wingās members away from the battlefield. This is the Hundred Flowers Palaceās problem. Zero Wing has already helped us quite a bit. We cannot drag them any further into this mess.ā
āI understand.ā Cleansed Rue nodded.
Cleansed Rue left to follow Crimson Heartās instructions. As for Crimson Heart, she began to gather her forces to prepare for combat.
Ten minutes passed quickly.
āGood! Very good!ā When Lu Xingluo, who watched Moon Creek Town from a high vantage point, didnāt receive a reply from Crimson Heart, he commanded, āSince they want to die, I will grant their wish! Notify our members to begin the attack! I want every player from the Hundred Flowers Palace dead!ā
