Chapter 1386 - Staking It All (1/2)

Following Black Dragon King’s command, the morale of the Black Dragon Guild players rose once more.

At the end of the day, everyone played games in order to feel good.

With such a huge disparity in the strengths of both parties, employing small tricks here and there was merely the Boss’ effort to save resources in order to win this war. Charging head-on into battle against the enemy was what the players themselves wanted to do the most.

Initially, the Black Dragon Guild players were feeling frustrated at the current stalemate with Sanguine Alliance. Now that they heard that they would directly attack the city, all of their hearts trembled in excitement. Following which, they went into their formations in earnest and began surrounding the city.

On top of the city walls, Wang Yu and the rest were observing the enemy. Upon seeing the Black Dragon Guild players gathering together, completely enveloping Saga City, Ming Du couldn’t help but ask, “F*ck, there are so many players attacking the city, can Sanguine Alliance make it?”

As sturdy as the city walls were, it wasn’t impenetrable. Ants could bite an elephant to death with sufficient numbers. With so many players attacking the city, it was only a matter of time before they breached it.

“Haha!”

However, Fearless on the other hand calmly smiled and said, “Clearly, Black Dragon Guild has completely ruined their hand of good playing cards.”

Upon hearing what Fearless said, Ming Du asked in confusion, “What nonsense are you saying? Sanguine Alliance may not even be able to defeat these people in front of us. Don’t forget that they still have their reinforcements behind them.”

“No!” At this moment, Wang Yu pointed to the Black Dragon Guild players below them and explained, “Their formation is a little chaotic now, having more people wouldn’t be more advantageous for them at all!”

“Eh?” Upon hearing what Wang Yu said, Fearless’ face revealed a look of surprise. He threw a thumbs up at Wang Yu and said, “You’re smart!”

That’s right!

The players were, at the end of the day, gamers that stayed at home all day and night. Even if Black Dragon King was a crafty and scheming old fox, his mindset was still that of a businessman.

Each occupation had its own expertise. Formations and strategies in war were definitely not the expertise of a commercial businessman.

For an ordinary person, if they were not influential enough, they wouldn’t even be able to command five people, much less over a hundred thousand players.

Even if he had sufficient influence and authority, sending over a hundred thousand players to war was nothing more than a mob battle.

As the number of troops increased, the requirements on the battlefield, battle strategy and battle formation would be harsher.

It should be known that, in the entire history of Japan, there had only been a few battles that involved tens of thousands of people, much less one that involved over a hundred thousand of them.

In the past, there had never been a general that could command a hundred thousand troops at one time. Black Dragon King was merely someone that did sales, who gave him the courage to lead such a large army?

Take Sanguine Alliance for example, after operating in the virtual universe for so long, they eventually developed a structure within the guild. Even though their battle setup wasn’t as efficient as that of an actual military army, they still had a captain, a squad leader so on and so forth.

Currently, even with Sanguine Alliance’s infrastructure, they were still struggling to manage the tens of thousands of members atop the city walls.

Black Dragon Guild, on the other hand, had over a hundred thousand players within the army and Black Dragon King had only given them a single command. Without any battle formations whatsoever, they were ordered to charge towards the city walls… They clearly thought that they would be able to turn the tides of the battle with just sheer numbers.

With such a fighting style, even though the sheer size of the army appeared ferocious, it was extremely chaotic. Wanting to turn the tides of the battle with just this was merely wishful thinking on Black Dragon King’s part.

Of course, it wasn’t because Black Dragon King’s battle strategy planning was lacking. But rather, it was because this fellow was used to strategizing on paper and was inexperienced in an actual battle. He had overlooked numerous factors that may occur on the actual battlefield.

If there were a few more capable leaders within Black Dragon Guild, with the strength of over a hundred thousand players, it was only a matter of time before Saga City fell to them. However, with their current messy battle style, there wouldn’t be any effective outcome.

Even though it wasn’t wrong to say that Black Dragon Guild will eventually take the upper hand in this battle, wanting to take over Saga City in such a short period of time was impossible…
