Chapter 205: Nine Days Later, the Final Battle
Chapter 205: Nine Days Later, the Final Battle
"Everything's under control," Su Yu reassured them. "The next wave of the Red-Eyed Black Dragons will bring reinforcements, which should significantly reduce the pressure on your side.
"Also, I'll have the Sky Dragons construct more defensive structures within our territory. With our combined player forces, we should be able to hold off two more waves of attacks."
"Two waves, huh..." Truth as Range calculated in his head.
After some thought, he nodded. "We players can only manage two more waves. After that, the eighth wave of monsters will be at level 28, and we, who are only in our teens, won't stand a chance."
"By the way, Chief Ke, once your territory advances to the [County] stage, do you have any plans for the four waves of attacks that come with it?"
"I've thought about it some. With my connections, I should be able to handle it," Su Yu replied.
"That's a relief," Truth as Range sighed. "We don't know when the next player territory will be born. I hope under your leadership, we can witness the birth of the first player city!"
"Thanks for the good wishes," Su Yu glanced at his Spirit Coin balance in his inventory 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 defenses, until it finally advanced to a [Small City].
Construction Aspects
The [Jade Dragon Altar of Heaven] operated at full capacity, burning through 19 million Spirit Coins daily to maintain the buff.
With the powerful buffs and an endless supply of resources and Spirit Coins, the once small village of Apix transformed into a city with a population of 100,000, marking the beginning of a well-established urban area.
The city boasted a variety of functional, commercial, and entertainment buildings, all meticulously planned and well-organized. The transportation system was efficient, and the citizens lived happily.
After advancing to a [Small City], the territory's prosperity remained at [78], and its livability at [67], indicating excellent maintenance.
...
Defense Aspects
The sixth wave, which coincided with the territory's advancement to a [Large Town], was a tough battle. The relevant guilds and the Blood Emperor Sky Slayer Guild worked together to barely hold the line.
The seventh wave was even more challenging. In addition to the previous two guilds, Su Yu called in the elite teams of the Cloud Shepherd Guild and the Four Seas Roam Guild. With the help of numerous [Fortresses] constructed outside the territory, they managed to hold the line, but at the cost of about 70% of their personnel.
After the seventh wave, the players were completely phased out, and the NPCs took over.
For the eighth wave, the average level of the bandits reached 28. Su Yu managed to secure 500 elite soldiers from the Aurang City Lord, who arrived just in time to participate in the defense.
These elite soldiers, mostly at the peak of the 2nd stage or the 3rd stage, could easily take on ten or even a hundred bandits, who were mostly at the 1st stage.
After driving back over 3,000 bandits, the 500 elite soldiers suffered only minimal casualties, with only about twenty losses. The outcome was nearly perfect!
The ninth wave was also defended by these 500 elite soldiers, and the territory had advanced to a [Medium County].
However, this wave of bandits was different from the previous one, with an average level of 30. Level 30 was a significant milestone, indicating that most bandits were now 2nd stage cultivators, tripling the overall strength of the bandit army.
As a result, in this wave, the 500 elite soldiers suffered significant casualties, with about 100 soldiers either killed or seriously injured, reducing their overall combat effectiveness by 20%.
Facing such a dire situation, Su Yu headed to the Unicorn Barracks to seek Tina's help. For Tina, Su Yu’s problems were her problems.
That afternoon, Tina set out with her little fangirl Fiona and 500 Unicorn Knights to reinforce Su Yu’s territory.
The tenth and eleventh waves of the city defense battles were successfully overcome with Tina and the Unicorn Knights' timely arrival.
Finally, the twelfth and final wave of the city defense battle arrived in the Aupsi Territory.
However, this wave of the city defense battle was different from the previous eleven.
The game announcement for this wave read: “【Aupsi Territory】Population reached 100,000, successfully upgraded to 【Small City】. Your actions have caused significant displeasure to Philip Stralef, 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 were either monster sieges or bandit invasions, but this time, an NPC army was on the march!
Falling Moon Town was located 20 kilometers directly south of Aupsi City, situated by the sea and serving as a crucial maritime town for Orlan City.
Over 90% of Orlan City's maritime trade passed through Falling Moon Town, making it wealthier than Orlan City despite being a "town."
Earl Philip Stralef, the lord of Falling Moon Town, was both wealthy and powerful, commanding 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 Aupsi City.
On the city walls, Su Yu and the other players braced themselves for the final battle.
This last city defense battle was the final hurdle. If they overcame it, the future would be bright. If they failed, the consequences would be dire.
Su Yu turned to Tina, who stood beside him. "Tina, this is on you. Don’t forget what I told you."
"Understood." Tina nodded, leaped from the city wall, and flew toward Earl Philip’s army.
Once she was above the enemy forces, Tina slowly came to a stop.
She noticed a fire mage in a finely crafted crimson robe flying up from Earl Philip’s side, heading straight for her.
Tina didn’t recognize this fifth-rank fire mage, but it was clear he was a strong opponent sent by the earl.
Ignoring the fire mage, Tina fixed a cold, stern gaze on Earl Philip below.
"Philip Stralef! As fellow citizens of the empire, why are you attacking Kexing’s territory? And you didn’t declare war two weeks in advance, which is a serious violation of the noble code of conduct!
I hope you withdraw your forces immediately. If you do, Kexing and I will pretend this never happened. Otherwise, the consequences will be on you!"
Tina’s words were firm and resounding, causing a momentary pause in the morale of the Falling Moon Town soldiers.
"Retreat?" Earl Philip, a slightly stout figure, sneered. "Firstly, in Orlan City, we don’t follow those useless rules. In Orlan City, it’s a matter of survival of the fittest, winner takes all.
Secondly, I’m leading my forces against Kexing’s territory because his actions have threatened the interests of Falling Moon Town. If Kexing agrees to one condition, I will withdraw my forces immediately!"
"What condition?" Su Yu asked from the city wall, his composure unwavering.
