Chapter 657: The enemy of an enemy is an ally

Attacking a main city occupied by a civilization.

How to attack?

This question had been on Su Li's mind ever since he decided to attack the Gao Li main city.

After all, according to the rules of the national war, if a main city is destroyed, it means the players are eliminated.

A main city, even if controlled by only one player, would certainly house the majority of other players to prevent the city from falling.

A rough estimate suggests at least ten million troops are stationed inside.

This is beyond doubt.

Yet he only has two thousand Crimson Blood Dragon Cavalry under his command. Even if these troops are all god-tier, attacking a main city with at least ten million troops—all of whom are elite players—is still very risky.

Even if he succeeds, his own losses would not be small.

Fortunately, however.

The Gao Li players have only occupied the main city for a short time. Whether it is the troops spawned from the main city or the city's defensive construction, everything is still in the preliminary stage. The city's defensive power is weak, merely at the level of a small city.

Attacking now means the disadvantage is not great.

If he were to attack later, once the city's defensive capabilities were upgraded to a medium or even large city level, the difficulty would be much higher.

Without siege equipment, relying solely on two thousand Crimson Blood Dragon Cavalry, it is impossible to break the city using conventional methods.

Of course!

The reason Su Li decided to attack the main city occupied by Gao Li players now...

... is not primarily because the city's defenses are weak at this stage, but because...

After the national war begins, enemies will spawn one after another near main cities and player territories.

That's right!

NPC enemies will spawn near main cities and player territories.

If players cannot block the attacks of these enemies, they do not deserve to own a main city, nor do they deserve to establish a territory.

And Su Li intends to utilize this very mechanism.

The so-called enemy of an enemy is an ally.

If he launches an assault on the Gao Li-occupied main city at the moment the system spawns NPC enemies, he will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

With this thought in mind, Su Li held his position, waiting for time to slowly pass.

…………

"Huh! Why did that Huaxia civilization troop suddenly stop and stop advancing?"

"Could it be they aren't planning to attack us anymore?"

"I guess they're scared. After all, we have an absolute advantage in numbers and the benefit of the main city. No matter how strong that Huaxia civilization troop in front of us is, they can't possibly beat us."

"Right, right, right! A mere two thousand cavalry might be fierce in the wild, but when it comes to sieging, they aren't as useful as infantry!"

"How about we take the initiative and go out to surround and kill that troop?"

"With our civilization's ten million troops, no matter if they are dragons or tigers, no matter how strong their power is, they have to bow down to our Gao Li civilization!"

"Exactly! A mere Huaxia civilization dares to come and attack our Gao Li civilization's main city. If we don't show them some color, do they really think our Gao Li civilization is weak?"

Seeing Su Li and his group stop, the Gao Li civilization players thought they were scared and regained their arrogant demeanor.

But no one dared to actually go out and attack.

After all, the might Su Li and his group had just displayed was right there.

It was simply unstoppable. Even if they had many people and could rely on human-wave tactics to annihilate Su Li and his group, the question remained: who would bear the brunt of the attack?

This was a problem.

The two sides remained in a stalemate.

Waiting for more and more Gao Li civilization players to gather at the main city.

The more people there were, the more confident the Gao Li players became.

But they forgot one thing.

Main cities also spawn NPC enemies.

As time passed.

Dense crowds of enemies began to spawn near the Gao Li main city.

A rough estimate...

The number of these figures was at least over one hundred thousand, and they were all high-tier troops, with even general-level NPCs among them.

Although there was still a gap compared to the number of Gao Li civilization players present, it was definitely enough to cause significant trouble for the Gao Li players.

And Su Li was prepared to use this trouble to strike a heavy blow against the Gao Li players.

At this moment.

The Gao Li players also noticed that the blood-colored cavalry troop on the distant horizon seemed to be stirring.

They weren't stupid.

They finally realized Su Li's plan.

But...

At this point, they had no way to stop it.

After all, this wasn't some underhanded scheme, but a blatant, open strategy!

The NPC enemies spawned by the system would only ever target nearby territories or main cities.

Unless the Gao Li players abandoned the main city, it was impossible to avoid the combined assault of Su Li and the system-spawned NPC enemies.

And would the Gao Li players so easily abandon the main city?

The answer was naturally no! ===== CHAPTER 661 =====
