On the same day, the people of the various financial groups evacuated from the satellite towns around Castle No. 3.
They attacked aggressively, wanting to teach Chen Mo a lesson. In the end, they were all wiped out by Chen Mo.
Knowing that Chen Mo was going to take back the satellite towns and that they would not be able to stop him, the financial groups did not dare to stay.
Seven hundred elites dying once was already a huge loss to them. If they continued to fight with Chen Mo, they did not know how much they would lose.
One of the satellite towns in Castle No. 3 had been occupied by Capcom and self-destructed to create the Death Reaper. The remaining four satellite towns were given to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo had many NPCs at his disposal, so it was not a problem for him to take care of the four satellite towns.
However, the number of NPCs he had was pitifully small. If he sent them out to take care of the satellite towns, they would be massacred if they were not careful. He had offended many people who could not do anything to him. There were probably many people who killed his NPCs to spite him.
Therefore, after some consideration, Chen Mo left one satellite town for his own use. As for the other three satellite towns, he contacted Blood Paladin, Wild Panther Lady, and Little Warrior and gave each of them one for their own use.
As long as they were not rented out to large financial groups, they could use them however they wanted.
There were a total of fifty-four satellite towns in the Final Lands, and the number of players who could enter them was pitifully small.
With these three satellite towns, Blood Paladin, Wild Panther Lady, and the others would be able to earn a sizeable income if they put in a little effort.
The lifespan of the game was probably not long. Chen Mo did not give them too many benefits even though he was acquainted with them. These three satellite towns were not essential to him, so it was a good idea to let them take care of them.
If he needed them, he could just attack the other satellite towns.
After being wiped out by Chen Mo and losing four satellite towns, the financial groups finally realized how serious their situation was.
Previously, Leon had relied on the unity ability to take down Castle No. 6 with an invincible stance. The various financial groups felt that they had the ability to unite. After some time, when their unity ability was raised to the highest level, they were confident that they could take down the remaining castles.
However, after last night's battle, Chen Mo let them know that they were too arrogant. Their ability to unite was strong, but their weakness was too obvious.
If they wanted to make up for this weakness, they would have to use some special items. However, they did not have such items on hand.
Once the enemy attacked, their seemingly invincible ability of unity would actually be of no use.
After an emergency meeting, the various financial groups decided to join forces and take over the remaining Castle No. 2 first.
Although Lyon and the Unity ability were defeated by Chen Mo, it was still a piece of cake for them to capture Castle No. 2.
The next day, Chen Mo received a regional notification. He could not help but feel a little regretful.
Last night, he had taken over Castle No. 3. Only then did he know that using a strategic city to take over a castle had its pros and cons.
The advantage was that it would be much easier to capture the castle, but the disadvantage was also obvious.
First of all, a strategic city could only occupy one castle, and the strategic city could not be more than a thousand meters away from the castle. Once it left, it would be considered as giving up the castle, and it would be impossible to use the strategic city to attack and occupy the castle.
Secondly, after using a strategic city to take over a castle, it would be impossible to take over another castle within a week.
These two rules restricted everyone, including Chen Mo, from taking over more castles within a short period of time.
However, after taking over Castle No. 2, the financial group alliance was not satisfied with just that.
After the various financial groups analyzed the situation, they felt a great sense of crisis after being wiped out by Chen Mo.
They were relying on the Unity ability now, and they would most likely still rely on it in the future.
However, the number of people with the Unity ability was already fixed, and they could not increase it anymore. Although many people's Unity ability could still be improved, as time passed, the advantage it brought to them would become smaller and smaller.
As for the other organizations that had the ability to compete for the rankings, they would become stronger and stronger. In the end, the Unity ability would most likely lose its advantage.
Therefore, after taking over Castle No. 2, the financial group alliance set their sights on the last unoccupied Castle No. 9.
Castle No. 9 was three times the size of an ordinary castle, and it was surrounded by ten satellite towns.
Castle No. 9 was undoubtedly the most special existence among the nine castles. Although there was no system notification, the contribution points obtained from taking over Castle No. 9 were definitely incomparable to those obtained from taking over an ordinary castle.
Not only would they obtain a large number of contribution points by taking over Castle No. 9, but they would also obtain ten satellite towns.
For the financial groups that had just lost four satellite towns, taking over Castle No. 9 was extremely important.
If they could successfully take over Castle No. 9, their contribution points ranking would definitely not be low. Moreover, it would be almost impossible for them to drop any further.
After all, after taking over Castle No. 9, players only needed to take over Castle No. 7, which was occupied by the Angels, to obtain the final ranking reward.
Castle No. 7 was occupied by NPCs. Players might or might not obtain contribution points after taking over the castle. However, the contribution points obtained from taking over a castle would not have much of an impact on the final ranking of the top 100.
If they wanted to take over Castle No. 9, they would have to give it their all.
The various financial groups also planned to give it their all. They formed a super team of 11,000 players.
The alliance of financial groups was not in a hurry to take over the ten satellite towns outside Castle No. 9. They only wanted to take over one of them as a resting base.
Castle No. 9 was too far away from Primitive City. Previously, the financial groups were worried that there would be some changes in Castle No. 9. They were also not united. Therefore, they did not intend to take over the satellite towns around Castle No. 9.
However, during this siege, the financial groups realized that the satellite towns around Castle No. 9 were much more difficult to take over than they had expected.
If they did not allow Lyon to use his Unity ability, they would have to pay a huge price to take over one of the satellite towns.
Although Lyon had taken action, taking over one of the satellite towns had also taken a lot of effort.
After resting for a day, the alliance of financial groups finally made their move on Castle No. 9.
Castle No. 9 had four gates, and there were a large number of Elite monsters in front of each gate.
The alliance of financial groups chose the nearest gate to attack. Naturally, the Elite monsters in front of the gate could not stop them.
When they pushed open the gate of the castle, the interior of the castle was in a grayish-brown state.
"This castle seems to be in a sealed state."
Standing outside the gate, a member of the financial groups saw this scene and said hesitantly.
Although the system did not state it clearly, based on their gaming experience, once they stepped into the castle, the castle would activate and attack them.
"Hmph!
Since we are already here, what is there to hesitate about?
Go, all of you, get in! "
A commander of the financial groups strode forward.
Swoosh!
The moment the commander stepped into the castle, the grayish color of the entire castle suddenly faded away, and life returned to the castle.
System Notification: The Eternal Night Lord has awakened from his deep sleep!
…
The first one was even worse.
