Chapter 1312: The Siege

"All Trains in the first wave are ready to depart into the Farming World." The System reported to Jin as he had returned to his Dungeon Maker to oversee the situation.

"Good. Set all trains into combat mode. Get the pa.s.sengers to have their seatbelts on. If they do not comply, it is at their own risk." Jin said and the System immediately sent out an instance wide announcement.

"To all Pandarens and fellow new customers. Please have your seatbelts on. We will be departing shortly to our a.s.signed destination." The PA system in all trains had sounded the same warning again and again while also showing the seatbelt sign right above their heads, just like how most people would notice them on planes.

Most Pandarens adhered to the instructions with only a few excited ones who could not wait and stuck their heads out of the train to see the commotion. But all they were able to glimpse was just a portal right in front of them. But at that moment, it felt as if their senses were telling them to get back to their seats as the trains were moving faster and faster.

In the meantime, there were Security Pandas at the front carriage of the trains setting up magical barriers which caught the curiosity of the Pandarens but their views were eventually blocked as the Pandas also started putting up a magic veil which obscured what they were doing behind it.

"All trains are moving close to max speed. Deploying siege equipment in the front carriages." The System said and Jin pulled out the live camera footage of the main Northern Capital City right in front of him. There was nothing that was out of the ordinary, with the walls continued to be manned by countless numbers of Demon Rat guards.

"All Gob Teams are ready to act on your command." Flame Ripper, The Dagger Goblin Commander said and Jin instantly gave the approval to start their operation. With his command, several Goblin Teams that were hiding along the outskirts of the Northern Capital City Walls started firing a barrage of smoke canisters right toward the enemies.

At first, the rats had no idea what were those popping noises and but when they realised that a wall of thick smoke was being emitted right in front of their city walls, they knew that an attack was coming, Searchlights started to pop out and alarms began to ring through the entire city.

Yet, before the alarms could be fully activated or when the searchlights were up and running, dozens of portals were appearing beneath them, under the cover of the thick smoke. And there, the trains that were running at full speed were das.h.i.+ng out of these portals, smas.h.i.+ng their front carriage which was equipped with breaching siege equipment against their city walls.

These acts of simultaneous breaches shook their entire city wall despite the Demon Rats' consistent reinforcements of their walls. They thought they had taken into account the human abilities in destroying town walls as their 'sample' to create stronger, thicker walls. The Demon Rats even placed anti siege equipment on their walls hoping to destroy and they were seen coming to the walls.

In fact, they had Demon Rats specialised in detection so that they could sortie their armies in time to counter the humans. But this particular ambush was something that they had never thought of. Almost each and every Demon Rat that was on guard duty were stunned by the scene when they saw snakes of metal come cras.h.i.+ng through their walls and penetrate into their outer capital.

And if any trains were unable to break through the entire city wall, the front carriage would explode in a forward direction so that there would hopefully be a break in their wall, allowing the Pandarens to continue the siege. Thankfully, as the trains were moving at high speeds, the System did not keep the cultivators in the shadows and shared information in an infomercial way, telling them what to expect as the train reached their 'destination'. Many could not believe this was Jin's way of doing an offensive,

No doubt it was refres.h.i.+ng but at the same time scary especially for the new Pandarens although the Royal Zodiac Heads were pumped with adrenaline when they heard of the plan. They were contracted to stay for an hour of the fight to show how the high grade cultivators were supposed to battle. However, from the look of things, they might be willing to stay longer than they were contracted to even though Jin told them that there would be no extra money given.

Thus as the trains breached through the city gates, the rush of cultivators startled the Demon Rats as they were faced with an onslaught so fierce, that there was not enough time for a counter attack. To the Pandarens, they were 'programmed' to see all these Demon Rats as enemies and they have to kill any on sight, especially when each rat is worth a point or two depending on their cla.s.s and speciality.

It did not take long for the rats to understand the situation and regroup, forcing a desperate retaliation against the horde of cultivators that came through their city walls. Even so, the a.s.sault was not as messy as one might think. The System had purposely given certain missions to various groups of Pandarens. If they complete the tasks and objectives in their missions, they too would be rewarded with extra raid points and so while it was a little messy at the start, there were ma.s.ses of people targeting key checkpoints. The Royal Zodiac Heads were allowed to rampage however they liked and so they had decided to move inward as they knew that the bosses of a dungeon instance would be in the castle.

They were not off the mark but instead of bosses, Demon Rat Abominations started to emerge to protect the second city walls from being breached. Projectiles and bombs were also seen being shot indiscriminately as usual from their second city walls, hoping to do the maximum amount of damage to any large group of cultivators seen.

In short, it was a h.e.l.l of a mess like any war would be.
