As the saying goes, if you don't take it by surprise.

No one can deny the importance and even decisive role of sneak attacks in a war, and there are many wars in history where the advantages and disadvantages are reversed due to laxity and carelessness, and the Shadow is doing just that, he lost the holy sword Exelid, which greatly reduced morale, so he urgently needed a victory to make up for it.

Or a reversal.

But if it is a sneak attack on an ordinary fortress or stronghold, even if it is successful, it obviously won't play a big role, and letting the Imperial Heaven Guild and the Customs Pavilion and other guilds attack the fortress of the Kenzuka Guild together is just to use it as a bridgehead, and then step by step, advancing and encroaching on it little by little.

However, there was not so much time left at the moment, and the Shadow knew his situation very well at this moment, and it was definitely not an exaggeration to say that he was standing on the edge of a cliff.

To sum up, the Shadow must sneak attack an important fortress or stronghold that is enough to turn the tide of the situation and even decide the outcome of the battle, and at this point, the answer is undoubtedly obvious -

Sunset Fortress!

As the location of the headquarters of the Ideal Township Guild, Sunset Fortress can be described as "crucial", once it is successfully attacked by the Shadow Shadow, that is, successfully occupied, it will be very fatal to the several major guilds led by the Ideal Township Guild, and the impact of losing the holy sword Exelide can be minimized.

As Zi Xun said, what the Shadow needed to do was not to take Valladian, or defend the holy sword Exelid, but to defeat Xu Xiang, the first two were just inducements.

However, even if it is a sneak attack, it is not as easy as imagined to successfully occupy the Sunset Fortress, as a sworn enemy, the Shadow is very aware of the investment of the Ideal Township Guild in this fortress, but don't forget, Xu Xiang also has the cash cow of the Sky Pharmacy, in addition to daily expenses and funds as a reserve, a large part of it has been thrown into this fortress.

It is said that even the magic cannon has been studied by the Ideal Township Guild, and there is no way to verify the authenticity of the Avatar, and the detailed development information of the fortress can only be queried by players at the guild level.

Although it is uncertain whether there is a magic cannon in Sunset Fortress, in order to ensure the success rate of the sneak attack, the Shadow still does his best to gather all living forces, including some external forces, and if necessary, he will also use the key hole cards that have been buried for a long time.

"Feng Xiang has appeared in Elpa City, along with his servants."

Just as the Shadow was taking stock of the forces under his control and estimating the success rate of the sneak attack on Sunset Fortress, Purple Smoke's voice came from the side, "They forced their way through the gates of Elpa, and they encountered the returning Templar troops halfway, and they are now fighting. ”

"Good." Hearing this good news, the Shadow felt a little more sure in his heart, smiled slightly, and then said loudly, "Everyone go full speed, we can reach Sunset Fortress in a minute or two!" ”

"President Eplipsal, it's not me who is angry with others to destroy their own prestige, are you sure that these people alone can capture Sunset Fortress?" As soon as the Shadow's words fell, it seemed that he was not very interested in him, or that he didn't want to see him, and the look of the style jumped out and objected.

However, there was nothing wrong with that glance, and this question was actually what many people present wanted to ask.

At present, these people led by Eclips are going to attack Sunset Fortress are players with flying mounts above the eighth order in several major guilds, and the number is not much, just more than twenty, but more than twenty eighth-order flying mounts are definitely the current number one air power, and the loyalty can also be trusted.

It's a pity that even so, even if Sunset Fortress is really undefended, it is not something that can be successfully captured in a while.

You must know that the main defensive force of a fortress comes from various city defense buildings, not to mention whether there is the most threatening magic cannon, just a large number of arrow towers and turrets are enough to cause a certain amount of damage to the eighth-order flying mount, and there are also defensive enchantments with durability of hundreds of thousands or even millions, this is not a joke.

Flying is the greatest advantage of the Flying Mount, but it is not the only advantage, once it slows down, the unsheltered sky will inevitably make it a live target.

What's more, Sunset Fortress can't be left undefended, and any player of the Ideal Township Guild can quickly return to the fortress in a non-combat state, unless they can quickly destroy the defensive barrier and occupy the fortress, otherwise it is likely to evolve into a sneak attack that fails and kills you.

"Did I say rely on these people alone?" As if anticipating the question, the Shadow spoke slowly.

"That ......"

"Don't worry, you just need to help me block the ideal township guild players who will return to the Sunset Fortress as soon as possible, and I will also arrange it at the city gate, and I will help you share the pressure when the time comes." A smile appeared on his handsome face, and the shadow said word by word.

"And the defensive barrier?" After a slight hesitation, the God of War raised the most critical question this time, if he didn't quickly destroy the defensive barrier, everything would be a floating cloud.

"You don't have to worry about defending the barrier, I have my own solution." The Shadow's voice suddenly became louder, and there was supreme confidence in his tone, "In just half a minute, no matter how strong the defensive barrier of Sunset Fortress is, give me half a minute to destroy it!" ”

"Half a minute?!" Hearing the words of the Shadow, most of the people present couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

It must be known first that the reason why the defensive enchantment will become a great weapon for defending the city, a major obstacle to the siege of the city is that it is not affected by the abnormal state, that is, the effect of greatly increasing the output such as critical hits, defense reduction, and penetration cannot be triggered, coupled with extremely high reductions, under normal circumstances, the output required to destroy the defensive enchantment is at least ten times more than usual, and some special defensive enchantments will be even higher.

However, the Shadow said that it would destroy the defensive barrier of Sunset Fortress in half a minute, and if it weren't for the supreme confidence contained in his tone, many people would have scoffed.

However, even so, many people are still skeptical of the Shadow's words or wait and see, if they really destroy the defensive barrier of Sunset Fortress in half a minute, and complete the occupation of the fortress before the large number of Ideal Township Guild players return, that is, the sneak attack can indeed be successful.

"Looks like I'm underestimating him a bit."

Glancing at the shadow that was still smiling confidently, Snow Ripple Fire Dance, who was flying at the back of the line, whispered to herself, a pair of eyes flashing with a strange look, as if she was planning something.
