Second World Chapter 1720 - Extra Siege Weapons for the Push

Chapter 1720 - 1720. Extra Siege Weapons for the Push

"It looks like they are making a move…," Motherboard said when she saw the movements in the allied forces.
Master also noticed it. He sent a message to Linda, telling her to get ready.
"Will they attack?" GraphicZ asked. GraphicZ successfully fled after disengaging his fight with Viking underwater. He saw the situation wasn't good for their side so he swam away until he found a small island where he could get out of combat status. He then used the Town Return Scroll.
Soundeffect also successfully fled. He was released from John's Living Water Prison before any enemies found him. He sneaked out of the flagship and fled using the same method as GraphicZ. He saw Gridhacker getting apprehended during his escape but he didn't dare to go for a rescue.
"They most probably will," Master answered GraphicZ.
"Haha, Good! I'm bored to death with all this waiting," Ronald laughed excitedly.
Motherboard turned to Azzarilth who stayed above the main gate. "Are your brood already close?" She asked.
Azzarilth simply snickered at the question. She didn't answer.
Motherboard was vexed but she didn't dare scold the dragon for her rudeness. She was there when Azzarilth devoured their eager guild member two days ago. That guild member came back with a fearful expression. He only lost one level because he wore an amulet of rebirth.
He walked back to his post with a bowed head. Despite that, Azzarilth came and bit him again without provocation. Everyone just stood there when the dragon did. They didn't dare do anything. Everything also happened too fast. That member didn't have the time yet to go reforge his amulet of rebirth. So this time, he fell back to level 1.
Master kicked him out of the guild then. He didn't need weak and foolish members.
After that, no one dared to look directly at Azzarilth. No one also dared to speak anything that was remotely disrespectful to her, for fear of giving this mad dragon an excuse to target them.
Master glanced at Azzarilth. He also wanted to know the answer to Motherboard's question, but he didn't ask. He knew Azzarilth's personality. Even to him, the dragon wouldn't answer if she didn't want to. He still needed this dragon. It was not wise to antagonize her.
Never mind, Master thought. He still had other cards to play. Even if Azzarilth wasn't serious. She would still be serious when Broidrireg showed up. As long as she kept that old dragon busy, the others should still be manageable.
Plus, if his plan worked, the result of this battle was not important.
He turned to Ronald, Long, and the others.
"You people know what to do," Master said. "Ronald, go to your post."
"Do I have to…? Most of the battle will happen here," Ronald protested.
"You are a mercenary. Act like one. Do as you are paid for," Master rebuked.
"Tsk!" Ronald turned and went away unhappily. He shot someone in the leg on his way. That someone screamed in pain but didn't dare to retaliate.
"Everyone else…"
"Everyone else except me," Long said. "I will be on my own when this battle starts." He dashed away before Master could say anything.
Master watched Long go with narrowed eyes. He didn't do anything. Now was not the time. There would be a time when he disciplined that rebellious martial artist.
Mistress was there too. She couldn't say that she didn't expect this. Master might be a smart person but he was not a leader. Those who followed him did so out of fear of his power and desire for the material gains he promised when he became a God.
"Everyone else, watch out for that person," Master resumed. Motherboard, GraphicZ, Soundeffect, and the other high-ranked guild members nodded. They all knew who Master meant. "Take extra attention when he creates his clones. If any one of his clones goes missing, I have to be notified right away. Is this clear?"
Everyone nodded again. They then spread out to different positions.

Two hours after Jack met the army leaders, the Allied forces began their offense.
The vanguard force gathered in front of the siege weapons as those weapons continued firing at the capital wall. This vanguard force was largely composed of Themisphere soldiers with some orcish and dwarven troops. The orcish troops were the Black Shields and the dwarven troops were the Armored Busters. The two special units Four Winds and Thelgrun volunteered for the vanguard force.
As for the Themisphere's portion, the vanguard troops were mostly composed of special units. The holy knights and the brave champions were at the forefront. They carried many siege ladders. Ancient Champions were ready behind them together with the standard heavy infantries. Healer units were at the back to help these vanguard troops last as long as possible. Palgrost's Cannoneers and Themisphere's musketeers were with these healers. The Cannoneers' long-range artillery weapons would add extra damage to the wall, while the musketeers provided cover fire to the vanguard troops that tried to scale the wall.
The rest of the armies got ready. They would also storm the wall once the vanguard troops hit the wall. The vanguard troops would attract most of the enemy's attention. The rest of the army would hit the other parts of the wall then. They also carried lots of siege ladders.
As the vanguard troops got into position, Jack sent a message to the guild leaders.
Jonathan, the leader of Saint Edge, sent messages to his guild members. These guild members activated tools that summoned several advanced arrow towers like the one World Ruler had. Players with the gunner and elite marksman classes climbed onto these arrow towers while the towers started moving forward.
General Manager Ironfist, a Corporate United's high-ranked member in charge of his guild in this campaign, sent orders to his members. Soon, a decent number of catapults appeared. These catapults were different than the normal ones. Theirs were called Rapid Catapult, which had a higher firing rate than a normal catapult but with slightly lower damage.
The last guild who summoned their siege tool was the Jackal Crews. Their siege tools were called Force Cannons, which delivered high damage over a vast distance, almost similar to a mana cannon, but their firing rate was terrible.
With these additional siege weapons, the damage dealt to the wall multiplied. The allied force had saved these siege tools for the time when they made a push. This was the time!
