Chapter 205: Nine Days Later, the Final Battle (Catch-up)
"Everything's fine," Su Yu reassured them. "The next wave of the city defense will see the True Red-Eyed Black Dragon leading a group over, which should significantly reduce the pressure on your side.
"Additionally, I'll have the Sky Dragons construct more defensive structures within our territory, aiming to use our player strength to hold off at least two more waves of attacks."
"Two waves, huh." Range is Truth calculated in his head.
After a moment, he nodded. "We players can manage two more waves at most. After that, the eighth wave of monsters will be at level 28, and we players, who are only in our teens, won't be able to hold the line."
"By the way, President Ke, once your territory advances to the [County] stage, do you have a plan for the four waves of attacks at that stage?"
"I have a few ideas. With my connections, I should be able to manage," Su Yu replied.
"That's a relief," Range is Truth sighed in relief. "We don't know when the next player territory will be established. I hope we can witness the birth of the first player city under your leadership!"
"Thank you for your kind words." Su Yu glanced at his remaining Psychic Coins in his backpack and smiled confidently.
...
In the blink of an eye, nine days had passed. During this time, Su Yu remained in his territory, focusing on construction and organizing the defenses until it was promoted to a [Small City].
In terms of construction:
The [Jade Dragon Altar of Heaven] operated at full capacity, burning through 19 million Psychic Coins daily to maintain its buffs.
With the powerful buffs and an endless supply of resources and Psychic Coins, the Apshi territory transformed from a small village into a city with a population of 100,000, complete with various functional, commercial, and entertainment buildings.
The city's layout was well-planned, with convenient transportation and a happy populace. After being promoted to a [Small City], the territory's prosperity was at [78], and its livability was at [67], maintaining a very high standard.
...
As for the city defenses:
The sixth wave, which coincided with the territory's promotion to a [Large Town], was a tough battle. The relevant guilds and the Blood of the Emperor guild worked together to barely hold the line.
The seventh wave of the city defense saw the participation of the Cloud Shepherd and the Four Seas guilds' elite teams. With the help of the numerous [Fortress] structures built outside the territory, they managed to hold the line, but at the cost of about 70% of their personnel.
After the seventh wave, players were completely replaced by NPCs.
For the eighth wave of the city defense, the average level of the bandits reached 28. Su Yu secured 500 elite soldiers from the City Lord of Oran, who arrived just in time to join the battle.
These elite soldiers were mostly at the peak of the 2nd tier or 3rd tier, capable of taking on ten or a hundred bandits, who were only at the 1st tier.
After driving over 3,000 bandits back into the mountains, the 500 elite soldiers had only lost about twenty, achieving near-perfect results!
The ninth wave of the city defense was again handled by these 500 elite soldiers, with the territory now promoted to a [Medium County].
However, this wave of bandits was different from the previous one. Their average level was 30!
Level 30 was a significant milestone, meaning that most bandits were now 2nd tier cultivators, and the overall strength of the bandit army had tripled.
As a result, during this wave of the city defense, the 500 elite soldiers suffered considerable casualties, with about 100 soldiers either killed or severely injured, reducing their overall combat effectiveness by 20%.
Faced with such a dire situation, Su Yu headed to the Unicorn Barracks to seek Tina's help. To Tina, Su Yu's matters were her own.
That afternoon, Tina set out with her devoted follower Fiona and 500 Unicorn Knights to reinforce Su Yu's territory.
The tenth and eleventh waves of the siege were successfully repelled with the aid of Tina and the Unicorn Knights.
Finally, the Apshi territory faced the twelfth wave of the siege, which would be the last.
But this siege was different from the previous eleven.
The game announcement for this siege read: "The population of Apshi has reached 100,000, and it has successfully been upgraded to a Small City. Your actions have caused significant displeasure to Philip Strev, the Earl of Falling Moon Town. In 30 minutes, Earl Philip will lead his army to attack your territory. Please prepare your defenses."
The first eleven waves had either been monster sieges or bandit invasions, but this time, it was an NPC army coming to attack!
Falling Moon Town was located 20 kilometers directly south of Apshi City, by the sea, and was a crucial coastal stronghold of Aolan City.
Over 90% of Aolan City's maritime trade passed through Falling Moon Town, making it, despite its name, even more prosperous than Aolan City.
Earl Philip Strev, the lord of Falling Moon Town, was wealthy and powerful, with a private army of 2,000 men.
Now, he was leading his 2,000-strong private army to attack Su Yu's territory.
Thirty minutes after the announcement, Earl Philip's army began to approach the gates of Apshi City.
On the walls beside the city gates, Su Yu and the other players braced themselves for the battle.
This final siege was the last hurdle. If they could overcome it, the future would be bright. If they couldn't...
Su Yu turned to Tina, who stood beside him. "Tina, it's up to you this time. Don't forget what I told you."
"Understood," Tina nodded, then leaped from the wall, flying toward Earl Philip's army.
Once she reached the top of the enemy formation, Tina slowly came to a stop.
She noticed a mage in a finely crafted fiery red robe taking off from beside the Earl, flying toward her.
Tina didn't recognize this fifth-rank fire mage, but it was clear he was the Earl's chosen champion to deal with her.
Tina ignored the fire mage and fixed her cold, stern gaze on Earl Philip below: "Philip Strev! As fellow members of the Empire, why are you attacking a fellow noble's territory? And you didn't declare war two weeks in advance, which is a serious violation of the rules of engagement among nobles!
I demand that you withdraw your forces immediately. If you do, I and Su Yu will consider this incident never happened. Otherwise, the consequences will be on your head!"
Tina's words were firm and resounding, and the morale of the Falling Moon Town soldiers wavered.
"Withdraw?" The slightly portly Earl Philip sneered. "Firstly, in Aolan City, we don't follow those useless rules. Here, it's about winning or losing, and the winner takes all.
Secondly, I'm leading my troops against Su Yu because his actions have threatened the interests of Falling Moon Town. If Su Yu agrees to one condition, I will withdraw my forces immediately!"
"What condition?" Su Yu asked from the city wall, his composure unwavering.
