Translator: 549690339
In the end, Su Yu really didn’t want to run anymore. He said in the command’s chat room, “Don’t call me if anything happens next, you guys handle it yourself.
This siege is to train your commanding capabilities, not my running skills. My nickname isn’t ‘Ke Run Run’.”
Nuclear wastewater: “Uh, okay.”
Tritium treasure: “Okay, but on the flip side, the nickname ‘Ke Run Run’ sounds kind of cute ”
Mutant (cat form): “Meow.”
Nuclear pollution: “But Boss Ke, I’m currently on the northern side of the village. I really can’t handle this!”
Nuclear pollution is the only female player in the five-person team. There are not many monsters on the northern side of the village where she’s stationed, but they are quite tricky.
Especially a [Forest Giant Bear] boss that is almost god-like, with an extraordinary kill score, frustrated the players. She wanted to call out to Boss Ke, but he said she needed to handle it herself. Her face instantly fell.
Su Yu thought for a moment and replied, “In that case, you take players from the guild on the north side to the east and west sides for support. I can guard the north by myself.”
Nuclear wastewater: “Guard solo?”
Tritium treasure: “Guard solo? Boss Ke, you’re not joking, right?”
Nuclear pollution: “Boss Ke, can you really hold the fort alone? There are so many monsters here!”
Su Yu: “Don’t worry, I’m super brave. You lead the retreat.”
Su Yu summoned Dima and headed towards the north of the village.
Upon reaching the frontline of the battle between monsters and players, he charges in and his area spell starts burning within the pile of monsters.
After his area-of-effect spells [Rain of Fire] and [Flash Chain] are upgraded to the legendary quality, he can decrease the cooldown time by reducing its power.
Su Yu is now a Level 31 2nd Rank Mage. Releasing a third of the force of the area spell is enough to instantaneously kill a besieging monster. Therefore, the cooldown of his two area spells has been compressed to 2-3 seconds, allowing him almost non-stop casting.
Moreover, Su Yu has a [Rock Elemental] summoned with five times the power, providing group taunt. No monster can escape his spell’s reach.
As he battles, Su Yu quickly pushes the frontline to the edge of the faint yellow halo.
Block the halo and kill!
The besieging monsters have just teleported out of the halo when they are torn into pieces by Su Yu’s spells.
Simple, convenient, and most importantly, he doesn’t have to run around.
After Su Yu’s arrival, the players on the northern side were essentially “unemployed” and could only go support the other two sides of the village.
However, as they left, they all unconsciously looked at Su Yu as if he were a monster.
“Brothers, we are a group of 150, and Boss Ke is just one.”
“I know right! We, 150 of us, are barely holding off against monsters on the north side, but Boss Ke is chasing after them and killing them.”
“Today, I finally understand the gap.”
“Why is Boss Ke stronger than 150 of us combined?”
The players discussed as they rushed to the east and west of the village.
With the players in the north distracted, the situation on both the east and west sides quickly stabilized.
As time slowly passed, the besieging monsters were gradually wiped out.
Another 10 minutes later, after the last attacking monster fell, the fourth wave of monster attack officially ended.
The guild also paid a hefty price during this round of the monster attack.
The death penalty for being killed during a monster attack is the same as getting killed in the wild where you can’t log in for half an hour.
A total of 277 people from the guild were killed in this wave of the monster attack. The wooden walls and traps in the territory were battered by the monsters.
However, Su Yu didn’t regret letting the guild players participate in the monster attack.
He doesn’t want the guild’s players to become a group of useless players who don’t know how to fight. Especially in the crucial period of fighting the Skuru race, it’s mandatory for them to participate in the battle to advance their abilities and cooperation.
Plus, letting them participate in the monster attack is a nice change from their daily routine of building houses. At least when Su Yu looked around, many players had happy smiles on their faces.
The pickup mode during monster attack is random. However, there is a certain floor mechanism in the pickup process, so virtually every participating player picked up one or two basic pieces of equipment.
After the siege, the players gathered, joyously swapping unwanted equipment with each other.
The Nuclear Wastewater five-man team came over to Su Yu, looking somewhat apologetic: “We’re sorry, Boss Ke. We’ve never led players into battle before and we were all over the place during this first attempt. As a result, the losses were much greater than expected. Not only did we have to call you in for help, but the walls and traps suffered a lot of damage too.”
“It’s okay, we’ll learn and improve over time. No one is born a commander.” Su Yu said nonchalantly and waved his hand:
“I will tell you about a few hidden tasks that have generous rewards. You guys can take them on now. However, the ‘Government Dept’ guild will be here in about two hours. It would be best for you to come back by then to see how a ‘professional team’ commands. Learn from them.”
“Understood, Boss Ke!”
Upon hearing about the hidden tasks, the Nuclear Wastewater team perked up.
Two hours later, the [Aphi Region] welcomed 231 refugees again, breaking the 1,000 population mark, moving up from a [Giant Village] to a [Small Town].
Following the promotion, of course, comes the next monster attack.
“[Aphi Region] population reaches 1,000, successfully promoted to a [Small Town] ”
“The average level of monsters besieging this time is – [18], total monster count [2005]. Among them are ordinary monsters [1,800], elite monsters [180], boss monsters [18], excellent boss monsters [5], and rare boss monsters [2]. Countdown begins at 29:58.”
Just as Su Yu predicted, the siege monsters this time are level 18.
At the exact moment when the game announcement was released, the “Government Dept” guild’s 700-man Elite Team arrived on time.
Out of the 700 people in Government Dept, 400 are soldiers, and the remaining 300 are high-end players within the game.
They sent out 200 people to guard the east side of the town, 200 to guard the west side, 150 to guard the north side, and the remaining 150 to act as a central support.
In the upcoming monster attack, Government Dept showcased extremely high tactical competence, far beyond Su Yu’s guild.
The players in Su Yu’s guild in the previous monster siege can basically be described as acting recklessly.
For example, in the case of focus fire, it often happened that more than a dozen players would simultaneously target a single monster. After the monster died, several attacks would still hit the monster’s corpse, wasting damage.
Government Dept worked very well together. They rarely wasted damage and could predict the damage a monster was about to receive. Based on muscle memory, they could decide whether to continue attacking or switch targets.
In addition, they had a deeper understanding of the game, had a full skill set, luxurious equipment configuration, and made almost no mistakes during the entire fight. Therefore, at the end of the battle, only 18 people from the whole guild died, it could almost be said that they had secured a complete victory!
The fourth monster invasion of the Aphi region, with the help of the Government Dept, passed smoothly and happily.
