Chapter 37

~6 min read 1,111 words

At this time, Su Li did not know about Wang Wang Siche's actions.

Nor did he know that Wang Wang Siche had recklessly used the resources taken out by other players, which were originally intended to upgrade the territory to a town, to recruit combat troops in preparation to stop him from rushing into the territory.

At this moment, Su Li was less than a hundred meters away from the city gate!

The screen of arrows continued.

Su Li's charge also continued.

More and more players appeared on the wall, ready to watch his joke.

However...

As Su Li's figure got closer and closer, the players' gazes also began to turn serious.

Because they discovered that in this distance of over one or two hundred meters, they had shot at least four or five screens of arrows, yet they hadn't left a single scratch on this crimson-armored knight!"

If you say the distance was far, that would be one thing.

Now that he was almost fifty meters away from their territory's city gate, logically speaking, the damage of the bows and arrows should have reached its maximum.

There was no reason why they still couldn't cause damage to this one enemy.

A bad feeling began to grow in their hearts.

"Archers, continue! Shield-bearers and light-armored spearmen... hurry to the city gate!"

They ordered some advanced melee troops to form a defensive formation inside the city gate, just in case.

They still found it hard to believe, "This crimson-armored cavalryman shouldn't be able to break our city gate, right?"

"Mm, he shouldn't be able to break it!"

"Let's just watch carefully!"

Perhaps the players themselves didn't notice that they had previously been in the posture of watching a show.

Now they were all worried about whether the enemy could break their city gate.

Fifty meters.

Thirty meters.

Ten meters!

The distance of dozens of meters was covered in an instant.

Just as the players on the wall gave their orders, Su Li, who had been maintaining his charge, had already arrived at the foot of the city gate on his Sweat-Blood Horse!

When he was only a few meters away from the territory's city gate, Su Li's figure soared into the air!

Already in a high-speed forward state, his speed increased by a few more points.

Then.

The weapon in his hand had long been switched to the black-backed long halberd, which had even greater destructive power, and he slammed it fiercely onto the city gate!

Boom!!!

Crack!

Accompanying the deafening roar was another sound.

That was the sound of the thick wooden city gate being split open by Su Li's full-force strike!

At this moment.

The players on the wall became silent, each one unable to believe that the crimson-armored cavalryman before them actually possessed such divine power.

Just one strike of the halberd had smashed a crack into the city gate!

That was a city gate that could only be built by a Level 4 village!

A city gate that had cost hundreds of units of wood to build and was over half a meter thick!

Normally, for such a thick city gate, let alone one person, even siege engines and catapults should take some effort to break open, right?!

How could it be now...

Boom!

Crack!

"No... not good!"

When they heard that crisp yet somewhat dull 'crack' sound ring out again, the players on the wall finally came to their senses and shouted like crazy: "Quick! Quick, have your troops go to the city gate! You must stop him!"

"Stop him!"

While the players were giving orders to the NPC troops, the deafening roar and the crisp sound of the city gate breaking continued to come.

The city gate was very sturdy and was the most important line of defense for a territory.

It was very difficult for ordinary people to break through.

But after all, this was only the city gate of a Level 4 village, not yet to the point where it couldn't be destroyed without siege equipment.

As long as a martial general took action, they could easily crush such a city gate.

And Su Li's current strength, under the bonus of the Red Blood Cavalry profession, was already close to that of a martial general.

Smashing the city gate was just a matter of time.

Accompanying Su Li's continuous bombardment, another sound also followed!

"Shield-bearers in front, heavy spearmen in the back, move up!"

"All elite longbowmen, get ready! Aim at that crimson-armored cavalryman... shoot to kill!"

Wang Wang Siche finally arrived.

Rushing out of the Lord's Mansion at the first moment and arriving at the barracks, Wang Wang Siche diverted the resources that the players had originally taken out to upgrade the town, and converted over a hundred farmers into high-tier combat troops!

One must know that even after this territory was upgraded to Level 4, not many high-tier troops had been recruited.

Because high-tier troops were simply too resource-intensive.

The resources consumed to recruit one high-tier troop could recruit three advanced troops.

And one high-tier troop could not match the combat power of three advanced troops.

So in order to save resources, this territory had only recruited advanced troops to the maximum extent.

But given the terrifying strength Su Li had shown before, Wang Wang Siche did not think that advanced troops could stop him.

He could only recruit over a hundred high-tier troops at any cost, hoping that with the combination of quality and quantity, he could block Su Li.

Among these hundred-plus high-tier troops, there were fifty heavy spearmen alone who countered cavalry.

Of the remaining fifty-plus high-tier troops, twenty were shield-bearers with extremely strong defense, and the remaining thirty were remote units like elite longbowmen.

To be honest, for a pure defensive battle, it was best to recruit more infantry and archers.

But this troop composition method, with heavy spearmen as the main force, was the way Wang Wang Siche thought of to best resist Su Li!

Because spearmen had a natural troop-countering effect against cavalry; once the shield-bearers blocked Su Li's attack, the heavy spearmen could break Su Li's defense.

Then, the elite longbowmen would follow up with continuous covering fire.

This method was indeed the best strategy for dealing with enemies of the cavalry profession like Su Li.

Or rather.

If there wasn't that martial prowess that surpassed the current stage, and if there wasn't the Red Blood Cavalry's own ability to ignore all troop counters, this would indeed be the best strategy for dealing with Su Li.

It's just a pity that there are not so many "ifs."
