1217 I Knew That There Was Something Strange (1/2)

There were two methods to win a war between two factions.

One method was to kill the leader of the faction, which was the leader in the main fortress. The other method was to deplete the other party's reinforcement points. This was similar to the Dimensional War. If the leader was killed, the troops would naturally retreat by themselves. As for depleting the reinforcement points, that was akin to killing all of the troops on one side, so the other side would naturally win.

Therefore, currently speaking, killing the leader was very difficult, but depleting the reinforcement points was quite easy to do.

”Dali.” Seeing that their reinforcement points were decreasing by the tens every minute, Tang Muxin instantly got a little nervous and asked, ”You are just going to send them to die like this? If we don't have any reinforcement points left, we will lose.”

This is the effect I want, but I can't say it like this…

”Ah, they are buying time for us. We are going to build fortresses, isn't it? This is very important!” Hong Dali pointed at the large group of people building the fortress behind them and said, ”Once the fortresses are completed, we can pull them back to defend them.”

The fortress that Hong Dali wanted to build was very simple, quite similar to the trenches in the Anti-Japanese War in his previous life. Just that it was more sturdy and durable, and there were all kinds of gaps and holes suitable for making far-range attacks. Overall, there were just two requirements. One, it must be sturdy. Two, it must be very sturdy…

Now, the fortress was already more than half-done. After all, the design wasn't important, it was just rocks being combined together by heated steel and stacked higher and higher…

”Alright.” Tang Muxin also didn't have any good ideas. Anyway, she was used to Hong Dali's way of doing things. Speaking of which, she wasn't really concerned about winning or losing. ”Then let's just drag the battle for a while. Hehe, after the fortresses are complete, if they want to attack us, won't that akin to a siege battle?”

”That's right.” Hong Dali nodded, then smiled and said, ”Think about it. They can defeat us on ground combat, but it won't be so easy to defeat us in a siege battle.”

”But even if they can't break through our fortress, we are also unable to go and attack them.” Tang Muxin pointed at the small mountain and said, ”Once they occupy that resurrection point, we can only attack from below. It will also be difficult for us to snatch back this resurrection point, right?”

”That's for sure.” Hong Dali suddenly asked, ”But why must we definitely snatch that place? Isn't it better to just defend here and kill all those who came?”

”This…” Tang Muxin felt that Hong Dali's words made a lot of sense.

That's right, they could rely on the fortress here and they also had a resurrection point nearby. It was obviously better to defend than attack the resurrection point on the mountain, so why the need to fight for that resurrection point?

By this time, the reinforcement points on Hong Dali's side had already decreased by more than 12,000. As for the fortress, it was very quickly being built. Now, quite a lot of team members were feeling anxious. Kong anxiously asked, ”Dali, let us go join the fight too. If our people up there can't withstand and let them occupy the resurrection point, it will be too late even if we all charge there together.”

”Don't panic, relax!” Hong Dali grinned and said, ”We must have the temperament of a king. We must have the realm of mind that even if the universe is destroyed, we can face it with a smile. You guys are already getting anxious in such a short while, this can't do. Relax, don't panic.”

”All… Alright…” Seeing the reinforcement points continue to decrease, Kong could only try his best to keep his composure and pretend not to see it.

On the spectator stand, everyone's palms were covered in a cold sweat.

The people on Hong Dali's side were like they were just going in to die, the reinforcement points had already dropped to 87,000 or so, but Silver Frost's side only dropped by 6,000 plus. The death ratio was about one to two. If this carried on, Hong Dali's side would lose for sure!

”What's Hong Dali doing? If he carries on fighting like this, he might as well admit defeat!”

”Isn't that so. It's a rare chance for our Astral realm to hold our heads high in the Astral Genius Battle. If we lose the battle now, we will lose most of all that accumulated glory!”

”Quick, think of something! This can't go in, right?”

Some with sharp eyes pointed behind Hong Dali, loudly shouting, ”Hong Dali's fortress is almost done. Once it's up, they can retreat and defend there, right?”

”Probably so. Defending a fortress should be much better than attacking like this. This must probably be what Hong Dali is thinking!”

Since they already understood part of what Hong Dali was thinking, they continued to watch the battle carefully.

This kind of war scene was still quite spectacular to watch. Therefore, although the battle had already been going on for quite long, none of them felt bored.

Finally, just as everyone was staring at the reinforcement points and Hong Dali's side only had about 80,000 reinforcement points left, Hong Dali's fortress was finally completed!

And now, Silver Frost's reinforcement points were still in the 94,000 plus!

This was really a vast difference. In the previous faction wars, even the biggest difference between the two factions was only within thousands when the war ended. And now, they had only just started, and there was already a difference of 12,000 or so!
