I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

When the system announcement flashed three times in a row in the sky, the entire District 21 was in an uproar.

The world channel crashed for five seconds.

Then the news came in like a flood.

"You got all three???"

"One hour and fifty-one minutes, three fortresses, all taken??"

"The Mythical Guild, with 300 members, defeated 3,000 and took everything???"

"It's not three hundred people fighting three thousand people, it's one person fighting three thousand people."

"What kind of monster is this 'seeing through the fog'?"

"The Iron Blood Alliance, the Blood Wolf Guild, and the Rising Storm—over 5,000 people combined—were all wiped out by him alone?"

"It wasn't more than 5,000 people. The Iron Blood Alliance's 3,000 men defending Sunrise were overwhelmed, the Blood Wolves' 1,000 men defending Starshine were also overwhelmed, and the Rising Storm's 2,000-plus men defending Moonflower surrendered."

"They surrendered? Fengyun Jiutian surrendered?"

"That's right! The Moonlit Fortress was attacked for less than fifteen minutes before Fengyun Jiutian ordered everyone to surrender."

"Damn, this even works?"

"If someone stood on your city wall and started bombarding you, you would surrender too."

The discussion on the world channel has gone from shock to numbness.

When someone single-handedly breached the Sun Fortress, everyone thought it was a pipe dream.

When one person breached Starshine Fortress, everyone thought it wasn't real.

When one person breached the Moonflower Fortress, everyone was speechless.

In the Thousand Gold Pavilion in Ironforge, Lin Hai stood in the center of the hall, watching the system announcements flash over and over again.

Behind him were the support staff of the Myth Guild who remained behind, as well as some members who did not participate in the event.

The hall was quiet for a while.

Then someone whispered, "He really got three."

There was a three-second silence.

Then the entire hall erupted.

Cheers, shouts, and the sound of tables being slammed all mixed together, and the chandeliers in Qianjin Pavilion were swaying.

Lin Hai did not join in the cheering.

He stood there, staring at the words on the announcement, his mind racing.

All three fortresses captured, perfect rating—what does that mean?

This means the reward will be tripled.

This means that the Myth Guild's status in District 21 has changed from "powerful" to "unshakeable".

This means that from today onwards, no guild will dare to directly challenge the Myth Guild.

But this also means that the Myth Guild will become a target for everyone.

Lin Hai's expression was not so relaxed.

He picked up the communicator and contacted Hua Zitong.

"Vice President Hua, now that we've captured all three fortresses, what's the plan for the remaining time? There's still over an hour left in the event."

Hua Zitong's voice came through the communicator: "Lin Hai, prepare two things on your end. First, clean up the lobby on the first floor of Qianjin Pavilion for a celebration banquet. Second, contact all media accounts and compile today's results so they can be released as soon as the event is settled."

"Understood. And what about the president?"

"He was sitting on the walls of Moonflower Fortress."

"What are you doing sitting there?"

"Rest," Hua Zitong paused for a moment, "He said there are still battles to fight."

Lin Hai was taken aback. "Another battle? Didn't we take all three fortresses?"

"Taking it doesn't mean you can hold it. There's still over an hour left in the event, so the defending side still has a chance to counterattack."

Lin Hai's expression changed.

He immediately understood what Hua Zitong meant.

All three fortresses have been captured by the Myth Guild; the Ironblood Alliance, Blood Wolf Guild, and Rising Storm have all lost their fortresses. Their event ratings are destined to be very poor.

In this situation, they have only one option: to retake at least one fortress.

The Myth Guild only has three hundred members, who are scattered across three fortresses, with only one hundred members in each fortress.

If those three companies join forces...

"I understand," Lin Hai said. "I'll get ready."

He hung up the communicator and immediately began making arrangements.

On the walls of Moonflower Fortress.

Li Wu sat on the edge of the gap, her legs dangling in the air.

Hua Zitong walked over and squatted down beside him.

"Fengyun Jiutian has sent people to ask us how to deal with their surrendered people."

"Let them go," Li Wu said. "Take no prisoners, make them all leave Moonflower Fortress."

"Are you sure? Let over two thousand people leave?"

"What's the use of keeping them here? Keeping them in the city is just a threat. Let them go, let them go far away."

Hua Zitong thought for a moment and agreed. She stood up to make the arrangements.

Li Wu sat alone on the city wall, watching the members of Fengyun Zaiqi walking in twos and threes towards the city gate on the streets of the inner city.

As they walked, they would glance at the city wall, and upon seeing Li Wu's figure, they would immediately look away and quicken their pace.

No one dared to meet his gaze.

Li Wu didn't care.

He was thinking about something else.

The effect of the "favor of fate" lasts for twenty-four hours. It's only been less than two hours since the event started, meaning there are still twenty-two hours left.

During these twenty-two hours, all of his skills have a fifty percent chance of being used a second time for free.

This is his biggest trump card.

But your trump card isn't invincible.

While the Star-Burning Arrow is incredibly powerful, it requires a charging time. During those few seconds of charging, the user is vulnerable. If someone attacks from behind while the user is charging, they must interrupt the charging process to dodge.

In siege warfare, he faces a defensively resistant garrison, allowing him to choose his position and timing.

But if the roles are reversed, and he becomes the defender.

"Hua Zitong".

Hua Zitong was arranging Fengyun Zaiqi's retreat when she heard the shout and turned around.

What do you think is the likelihood of the Iron Blood Alliance, Blood Wolf, and Rising Storm uniting to launch a counterattack?

Hua Zitong walked back and sat down next to him.

"hundred percent."

"Are you so sure?"

"They have no other choice. The event evaluation is related to the length of time they hold a fortress. We have all three fortresses now, and if they don't recapture at least one in the remaining hour or so, their evaluation will be terrible."

"How many people can they gather?"

Hua Zitong began to calculate. "You wiped out about 1,500 members of the Iron Blood Alliance at Sunrise Fortress, but they have a total of 3,000 members. The remaining 1,500 are scattered in various places, and it will take time for them to regroup. You and Sword and Rose wiped out most of the Blood Wolf Guild, but there should still be 300 to 400 members left. After Fengyun surrendered, they all withdrew, and more than 2,000 members were unharmed."

"So, if they unite, they could muster around four thousand people?"

"At least three to four thousand, plus other smaller guilds that might be brought in. The total number could exceed four thousand."

Li Wu remained silent for a few seconds.

Four thousand people against three hundred.

The Sunrise Fortress is garrisoned by the immovable Second Regiment.

Starlight Fortress was handed over to Sword and Rose, the sword pointing at Rose.

Moonflower Fortress has eight hundred members of the Flower Language Guild.

However, the members of the Flower Language Guild and Sword and Rose are not considered part of the Myth Guild's forces. They have their own interests to consider.

If the enemy concentrates 4,000 troops to attack the Sunrise Fortress.

The Second Regiment, which remained as immovable as a mountain, consisted of only a little over a hundred people.

"The order remains firmly in place." Li Wu stood up. "Sunrise Fortress is entering its highest state of readiness."

Do you think they'll attack Sunday first?

"Sunday Fortress is our weakest point," Li Wu said. "Any commander with a brain would choose to attack the weakest point. Besides, I've destroyed several sections of the walls of Sunday Fortress, and they haven't been repaired yet."

Hua Zitong immediately picked up the communicator.

Li Wu glanced at the remaining time of the event.

One hour and forty-seven minutes.

enough.

He jumped off the city wall.
