Chapter 184: The Monster Alliance with Their Own Motives
Three o'clock in the morning, the darkest hour of the night.

At this time, Mo Yu's territory was very quiet.

Under the inky black night sky, only the sporadic flames from the torch towers dispelled the gloomy darkness.

At this point, except for a few people who stay up late to practice Taoism, everyone should be sleeping the deepest.

But in the territory, all the people stood on the city walls with serious expressions, as if they were facing a great enemy.

After the tactical radar tower detected the enemy situation outside the territory, the news was passed on immediately.

Mo Yu was not afraid that this would scare away the enemy troops outside the territory, after all, they had already been exposed.

Once an action of this scale is organized, it cannot be stopped just like that.

In fact, they didn't try to hide it.

After all, there are so many people involved, and they are from all races. It is impossible to completely hide their tracks.

If Mo Yu really couldn't detect it, then that would be strange.

Everyone held their breath and looked at the dark night outside the city wall.

In the darkness, there were shadows everywhere, and I didn't know how many enemies were gathering.

In fact, according to the Void Hunter's plan, he should have struck while the iron was hot and engaged in battle as soon as he arrived near Mo Yu's territory, catching the opponent off guard.

But the problem is that their army is composed of many races from different camps, and they are united only because of their own interests.

This kind of alliance is very fragile.

Once issues of interest are involved, they will restrain or compete with each other.

For example, now...

The Void Hunter agreed to attack at 2:30 in the morning.

All the monster tribes arrived and joined the battle at the same time, quickly breaking through Mo Yu's territory with lightning speed.

The idea is good, but the reality is cruel.

Up to now, only three of the seven united tribes have arrived.

The remaining four were still dawdling along the road.

"Alas!" The leader of the Void Hunters, Latham, sighed helplessly.

He knew exactly what these races that had not arrived yet were thinking.

He simply wanted to come slowly, wait until the battle was almost over, and then rush into the battlefield to fight for the fruits of war.

Get the greatest results at the lowest cost.

According to the rules they originally agreed upon, after breaking through the other party's territory, whoever can occupy the crystal and occupy the territory depends on their own ability.

The remaining races can join the new territory as collaborators.

There is no problem with the rules, but the issue now is who will take the lead.

No one wants to take the lead, no one is stupid.

The defense of this territory is not weak. Are all those defense towers just for decoration?

Those who attack most aggressively will definitely suffer heavy losses, and if they are not careful, they may even be directly swallowed up by other forces in the alliance.

In this situation, each ethnic group naturally has its own ulterior motives.

Everyone has their own little calculations, it just depends on who can make the loudest one.

The current situation is that the tribal forces on the road are moving slowly, waiting to pick peaches.

The tribal forces here are watching each other, and no one wants to be the scapegoat.

Latham was also in a headache. He was only the nominal leader, and he tied those races together purely by interests. He had no way of forcing any force to attack.

As for asking the tribe members to attack, that is even more impossible.

They are born assassins, not born warriors, and are simply not capable of siege operations.

If this were not the case, he would not have gone to such great pains to unite so many forces.

However, now that he has been exposed, Latham is not afraid to wait any longer.

It is definitely difficult to seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

We might as well march in a high-profile manner now, wait for all the forces to arrive, and work out a charter before we start the attack.

Otherwise, if a fight really breaks out, with one person hindering the other playing dirty tricks, it would be a headache.

We might as well make an agreement first, at least to ensure that we conquer this territory first.

But delaying too long is not a good thing.

He sent out Void Hunters to urge those forces that had not yet arrived.

You will be given another thirty minutes at the latest. If you still haven't arrived, you will be completely disqualified and will be expelled by other forces.

Finally, under constant urging, all the monster forces gathered together.

Including the Void Hunter clan, there are a total of eight forces.

They are the Ironforge dwarves who are good at close combat, the steppe barbarians who have the ability to drive and herd beasts, the powerful mountain giants, the Centaur tribe with strong long-range power, the Leopard tribe with extremely strong explosive power, the Orc tribe with a large number of wolf cavalry, and a mysterious fifth-level necromancer.

These forces range in size from two to three hundred people to nearly a thousand people.

Fortunately, the forces in the stronghold were restricted and could not move too far away from the stronghold, otherwise there would be even more forces besieging Mo Yu's territory.

The total number of troops on the scene was nearly five thousand.

Moreover, their strength is generally not weak, and Latham doesn't look down on those who are too weak.

This is also the confidence of Latham. With so many troops, he doesn't think that a mere small territory can resist.

So what if there are many defense towers? It is impossible for all of them to be high-level powerful defense towers. How can they withstand their attacks?

The most important problem now is to integrate these forces and not let them fight independently.

Latham summoned the leaders of various tribes and began to discuss the issue of attacking the territory.

"I won't say more. Everyone knows the current situation. The lord of this territory was assassinated by my clan. The territory is in a state of division and there is no leader."

"But our presence has already attracted their attention. At this critical moment of life and death, the longer they communicate, the greater the possibility of cooperation. If we continue to drag it out, this territory will only become more difficult to attack, and more people will die."

"I believe that this is not what everyone wants to see, so now, let's discuss and come up with a charter. How to fight and how to distribute the benefits."

Latham finished speaking and looked at everyone.

The leader of the Leopard Tribe, the fourth-level rare Shadow Leopard Warrior, said, "I think it would be better if everyone chooses a direction to attack, and whoever breaks through the territory first gets to occupy the crystal."

There was a hint of anger in his words.

As the first race to arrive, we waited here for more than an hour and saw the opportunity being wasted bit by bit.

He was a straightforward person and hated this kind of intrigue the most, so he was extremely impatient with the races that came later, especially the last few who arrived.

If it wasn't such a rare opportunity, he would have turned the table and left long ago.

"This is unfair. We Centaurs are good at long-range attacks. How can we compare with you melee troops?" protested the Centaur leader.

"That's not necessarily true. You have to run fast on four legs." The Ironforge dwarf leader said in a muffled voice.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you know what I mean?"

"Giants have the strongest throwing ability. I think it would be better to let them throw boulders first to destroy the defense towers in the other party's territory."

"You centaurs are so good at shooting, why don't you go up and shoot the guards on the opposite wall first?"

"I think we should let the dwarf go first!"

"Can't a necromancer summon undead cannon fodder?"

"My people are all cavalry, not suitable for this kind of siege, but we can provide assistance."

Several leaders were talking to each other, and the core meaning of their words was to push people from other tribes to go first.

There were two more people who started arguing and even threatened to fight. "That's enough!"

Seeing the situation becoming more and more chaotic, Latham couldn't help but shout angrily.

The powerful force field of the fifth order spread out, instantly overwhelming all the leaders and making it hard for them to breathe.

Among all the people, Latham is the most powerful, which is why he can occupy the position of leader.

"What are you doing? Are you all waiting to make the final move and reap the fruits of victory?"

"How can such a good thing happen? If anyone only wants to work but not put in any effort, I think it's better for him to quit now!"

"Who? Who wants to quit now?"

Latham's cold eyes moved back and forth among the leaders.

There was an undisguised murderous intent on his face.

All the tribal leaders were silent. They had no doubt that if they shouted to quit now, they would be killed on the spot.

Besides, no one is willing to give up such an opportunity.

"Okay, no one wants to quit. It seems like they still want to cooperate."

"Let's not talk about the distribution of territory now. After conquering the territory, each of our races will send out three fourth-level tribesmen to fight. Whoever wins will occupy the territory."

"Other races can choose to join the territory as collaborators. After gaining a foothold, we will occupy other territories."

"This place has no shortage of lords. Everyone has a chance."

"As for the rest of the gains, they will be distributed based on the strength contributed by each race during the siege. The race that occupies the territory will not participate in the distribution."

"Now that I've finished speaking, who's for and who's against?"

Everyone lowered their heads and said nothing.

This method is actually not bad, but the prerequisite is that it can be fully implemented.

Latham glanced at them and said, "Since everyone has no objection, let's do this. Let's sign the contract!"

He quickly drew up the contract and looked at the leaders.

The upright Leopard Man leader signed his name first, followed by the Giant Tribe...

As everyone signed their names, a temporary alliance was finally formed.

Latham breathed a sigh of relief and said earnestly, "It is difficult to survive in this world with only one or two people. We must learn to stick together for warmth."

"Now that the contract has been signed, we are all family. I hope we can work together and grow together in this world of conquest."

Then he changed the subject.

"But I have to say this first. When we attack the city later, if anyone causes any trouble or does not work hard, I, Latham, swear that I will hunt him down to the bitter end."

The thick murderous aura that seemed tangible made everyone shudder.

Being targeted by such terrifying creatures as the Void Clan would be a big trouble.

Fortunately, we are allies now.

"Okay, now let's talk about the general situation of our troops so that we can make a battle plan. Move quickly and try to launch the general attack at 4 a.m.!"

The leaders of each tribe no longer hesitated and talked about the situation of their own troops.

But most of them, intentionally or unintentionally, conceal something from the elite forces.

In order to finally occupy the territory, you have to rely on elite forces and not waste them on the battlefield.

Latham didn't pay too much attention to this little problem. After all, he had the same idea.

Soon, the tactics were arranged.

Latham did not show too much partiality. He deployed troops from all races. Even his own tribesmen were assigned the task of assassinating the leaders of the other side.

In the siege team, ranged troops certainly have the advantage of range and do not need to engage in close combat.

But that doesn't mean the casualties will be small.

The opponent has many defense towers, and ranged troops are very likely to be targeted by the defense towers.

Therefore, those melee tribes did not say much.

It has come to this point. If we continue to delay because of such a small matter, it will be too late.

The combat orders were quickly issued, and in the darkness outside the territory, all the tribes began to move.

The grassland barbarians and necromancers began to summon wild beasts and undead. Their task was to consume the firepower of the defense towers.

Following them came the heavy armored dwarven infantry of the Ironforge dwarves, who covered the orc infantry of the Leopard Tribe and the Orc Tribe as they attacked the city.

The walls of this territory were not particularly high, and with their agility, it was not particularly difficult for them to climb up the walls and fight.

The mountain giants and centaur tribes are responsible for long-range fire suppression, while the Void Hunters are responsible for cooperating with the siege troops and carrying out decapitation operations.

The gathering of a large number of troops immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the territory.

The tactical radar tower clearly saw the troop movements of these forces, and everyone knew that the siege was about to begin.

At this time, there was no need to continue pretending to be internally divided within the territory.

Now even if they knew it was a trap, or even if Mo Yu showed up, they would not be able to withdraw their troops.

On the city wall, Bruman and Timo organized the team of Mrs. Ster, goblins and others, waiting attentively.

On the floating island in the sky, Salt led the Dragonhawk and Spearow waiting for the opportunity to fight. His target was the enemy's back row.

The stone monsters gathered behind the city gate, and the rune golems were ready for war.

But Mo Yu did not show up.

Waiting to give the other party a little surprise, in this battle, he wants to swallow up all these forces.

His consciousness sank, and he concentrated on operating the defense tower.

As a lord, he has a strong sense of awareness within the territory.

It is a bit like God Mode, where you can see the situation within the territory, but it is not very clear and consumes a lot of energy.

But at least, I can hold on for more than ten minutes.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether Mo Yu shows up or not, after all, the main output force is also the defense tower.

The two followers, Da Zhuang and Zhong Han, did not join the melee guards on the city wall.

Mo Yu opened up some of the defense tower permissions to them and asked them to assist him in operating the defense towers later.

Soon, the attack of the monster forces outside the territory began!

In the darkness, there was a crackling sound, and the first to move out were the undead troops of the fifth-level necromancer.

There are nearly a thousand of them.

But in the eyes of everyone in the territory, it became, just a few undead?

The undead war that is still fresh in our memory, with its thousands and thousands of undead densely packed together, is far more shocking than just these few undead in front of us.

This is also the significance of Mo Yu asking his subjects to join the war. With more knowledge and experience, they will naturally become braver.

The mixed undead army consisting of skeletons, zombies, and vengeful spirits slowly and steadily approached the territory.

Five hundred meters... four hundred meters... it was not until nearly a hundred meters that the defense tower launched the attack.

The firepower is not strong and the firing rate is slow.

Seeing this scene, Latham, who was watching in the darkness in the distance, was delighted.

Sure enough, the strength of these defense towers is based on the lord’s talent.

Now that the lord is dead, these defense towers have become much weaker, like a toothless tiger.

In this way, the chances of taking over this territory are greater!
