(Third update today, more to come!)
“Something’s happening!”
Su Ye, upon hearing this, furrowed his brows and rushed to the top of the city wall in three strides.
He fixed his gaze on the open ground in front of the city wall, and upon seeing it, Su Ye couldn’t help but feel a sense of heaviness.
What did he see?
Monsters!
Yes, monsters, a countless horde of them, black as night.
There were Goblins, Gnomes, Orcs, Venomous Spiders, and even some terrifyingly shaped giant monsters.
At this moment, they were forming a legion and charging towards them in a mighty wave.
Seeing these creatures, Su Ye instantly understood the situation.
This was a monster siege, and the reason, he guessed, was the territory upgrade.
In the Age of Lords, every time a territory leveled up, a wave of monsters would spawn nearby.
Just now, Su Ye was busy training the Centaurs and had completely forgotten about this.
As for why there were so many monsters this time, it was because Su Ye had upgraded his territory by two levels.
The two waves of monsters that spawned near the territory converged, resulting in the terrifying scale they were witnessing now.
“What do we do now?” Eve looked at Su Ye, her black jewel-like pupils flashing with a trace of fear.
The monsters in front of them numbered in the tens of thousands, even she, with her rich combat experience, felt apprehensive.
Su Ye, however, appeared much calmer. He took a deep breath and issued a calm order: “We have a level two city wall, they shouldn't be able to break in for a while. As for counterattack, can you all operate these?”
As he spoke, Su Ye pointed to the heavy crossbow nearby.
Eve took a glance and instantly understood Su Ye's meaning. She nodded resolutely: “Every Elf Archer is a natural marksman.”
Su Ye snapped his fingers: “That's good, have your people come up and use these heavy crossbows to give them a warm welcome.”
Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Eve didn’t hesitate. With a wave of her hand, the six Elf Archers behind her climbed onto the crossbow control platforms on the city wall.
Their hands gripped the handles tightly, aiming the sights at the monster army in front.
As for Su Ye, he whistled towards the territory.
The next moment, the Fiery Dragon, who had been napping, opened his eyes and soared into the air, landing on the city wall.
“Attack, don't let a single monster enter the territory!” Su Ye ordered.
Fiery Dragon let out a loud dragon roar and launched the first attack.
The six Elf Archers manning the heavy crossbows didn’t idle either. Once the first wave of monsters came into range, they pulled the triggers.
Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!
The sound of ripping through the air echoed as the crossbows, each two meters long and as thick as an adult’s wrist, shot forth.
They pierced the air and landed in the monster army with incredible speed.
With their powerful force, the bolts easily penetrated the Venomous Spiders' carapace.
Disgusting green slime spurted from the wounds and landed on nearby plants, producing a terrifying hissing sound.
In the front, Fiery Dragon had already reached the battlefield and opened his mouth to unleash a dragon's breath.
Ten meters long and radiating immense heat, the flames swept across the monster horde.
Many monsters were instantly ignited, their bodies scorched, producing a crackling, hair-raising sound.
And this wasn’t Fiery Dragon's full strength.
After a blast of dragon breath, the creature folded its wings and slammed into the ground with a thud, smashing several Gnomes into meat patties while at the same time…
Within a radius of dozens of meters centered on its body, the ground started bubbling up with molten lava.
The monsters in that range immediately let out cries of agony, their bodies touching the ground burned by the molten lava, killing them one by one.
Fiery Dragon alone had already created a huge obstacle for the army below.
Truly worthy of being a tier ten unit.
A grand battle had begun at this moment.
On the city wall, Su Ye watched the horde of monsters that had reached the foot of the wall, and his heart began to itch.
He had already become a warrior, and there were two ways to get stronger.
First: acquire powerful units, train combat forces, and assist him in battle.
Second: bravely fight and slay monsters, gain experience points, and upgrade himself to improve his attributes.
Becoming a lord was indeed good, but there was a saying that a blacksmith needs to temper his own iron.
How could a weak lord rule an army?
Therefore, at this moment, a strong desire to fight had surged within Su Ye’s heart.
He wanted to kill monsters, he wanted to become stronger!
He glanced at the Centaur camp in the territory. Training there had already finished, with ten Centaurs standing in a neat row on the open ground in front of the camp.
Su Ye had roughly assessed the attacking monsters. Most of them were tier two and tier three units.
As a tier four unit, the Centaurs had an absolute advantage.
Su Ye’s plan was to lead the Centaur force into a proactive attack.
Thinking of this, Su Ye shouted at the Centaur camp.
“All units assemble!”
The ten Centaurs galloped toward Su Ye at full speed.
Su Ye descended the city wall and checked the Centaurs' attributes.
[Centaur]
Tier: Four
Level: 1
Health: 25,000
Attack: 400
Defense: 520
Speed: 160
Skills: Barbarian Charge: Charge forward towards the target, dealing massive damage and having a 30% chance of stunning the target. (This effect is ineffective against targets of higher tiers than themselves).
Javelin Throw: Throw the spear in hand with great force, dealing piercing damage to the target.
Description: A unique race that lives in vast grasslands. They are gentle by nature, but when facing enemies, they will become fearless of death and fiercely charge at their foes.
They were only level one, weaker than the Centaurs in the Centaur Secret Realm, but for now, they were enough.
“Open the city gate!” Su Ye ordered.
Several Goblins struggled to push the city gate open.
Su Ye raised his longsword: “Charge!”
As the words left his mouth, the ten Centaurs moved in unison, their hooves pounding as they raced towards the city gate.
Su Ye himself followed closely behind.
This scene was seen by Eve, who was directing the battle, causing her to shout in shock: “Are you crazy?”
