Cpt.Bling was still in therapy but he just couldn't miss the first major siege battle.
So he logged in today and joined the defenders, he even paid his therapist to join him in the game to have a safe anchor which can calm him down.
But the battle wasn't going in their favor, the gatehouse was sabotaged and their siege units were charging the gate. They even cleared out two watchtowers with a barrage by their hand cannons.
But a high leveled NPC could rally some players under him for a flanking maneuver and Cpt.Bling joined them.
They took some horses and left the city through the south gate.
They reached the right flank and did a heavy charge into the enemy lines which took out dozens of bots but also most of the horses through shrapnel.
Suddenly several heads flew through the air and a dark shadow flashed across the battlefield.
Many had their blood freezing in their veins when the saw the Avatar of death himself reaping lives like corn.
But the NPC Commander was able to fight evenly with him so the normal fighting carried on.
But once again the morale of the defenders was shaken when a completely red squad of Automatons led by a red armored giant demon joined the battle while plowing through the lines with a giant axe.
But after the first casualties, some spearmen managed to slow the assault down.
Cpt.Bling felt how his PTSD tried to kick In but his therapist held his shoulder so he calmed down and charged the giant tower.
His therapist which played a priest followed him with some additional players.
The reached the bottom of the ramp when the suddenly heard a growl, they looked around when suddenly a player at the back of the group was ripped apart by a metal panther which emitted flames from his feed and mouth as soon as he swallowed the first bits of his prey.
Everyone was scared even the Therapist started to feel something was off but the players had to fight to survive.
They hurled themselves with death-defying courage onto the beast trying to get through the armor plates only to see how it filled the cracks with new metal from the inside.
Cpt.Bling once again felt his will to fight vane but he caught himself when he looked at the ramp while realizing that he just needed to kill that bastard up there to end everything and go back to the time. where he had fun playing this game.
He ascended the ramp and big two-handed axe in hand ready for a bloody fight when he saw the perpetrator in his black armor.
Cpt.Bling took everything he had and slashed at the fiend before him but the demon caught the Axe with one hand while swinging the other which suddenly held a big Black Hammer in hand which turned Cpt.Bling field into the same color as itself.
But then a system announcement ran through the server that stopped all fighting
"A Demonlord Ascends to power Dark times are upon us under the rule of the Mech Emperor!
Demon Race unlocked in the Mech Empire"
The player would call this the "day of Despair"
Because most of the attending players needed therapy afterwards and Cpt.Bling needed a new Therapist...
