Chapter 24

The sixth day, early morning.

Su Yu, carrying the [Cloud Sky Demon Flame Bow],

stood on the edge of a dangerous cliff,

looking toward the south of the territory.

South of the territory, below the broken cliff, was an endless wasteland.

In this direction, he had not set up any defensive measures.

Because of the fixed [Indestructible] terrain of the Myriad Worlds Battlefield,

no monster could ever climb up this cliff.

Once a monster tried to climb, it would be easily cleared away by Sylph and Elodie.

He wished the monster tide would attack from this direction,

that way, he would only need to pay attention to flying units.

Su Yu turned around and looked at his territory.

Through several days of development,

the barren mountain that was originally empty had become thriving.

Various territory buildings were scattered about.

On both sides of the stone-paved roads, trees from the forest had even been transplanted.

At the foot of the mountain, at the entrance leading to the peak,

there was also a dragon-shaped skeleton specimen.

It was pieced together from the bones of the Cloud Sky Water Dragon.

Spreading its wings as if to soar, the momentum was awe-inspiring.

It was more majestic and shocking than any bone specimen seen in a dinosaur museum.

Su Yu also had a more massive dragon skeleton, over twenty meters high, taller than an ordinary house.

Just think, an ordinary person at home looking up at the ceiling is only 3 meters high,

how shocking would it be to have a twenty-meter-plus giant dragon skeleton standing in front of you?

That was the bone of the [Demon Flame Dark Dragon].

It was just that because the farmers in the territory were currently in a busy state, there was no time to piece it together.

After the monster tide ended, Su Yu planned to set it up at the highest point of the mountain peak.

That way, at the foot of the mountain, one could see it just by looking up.

For the whole day today, Su Yu had nothing to do.

Wandering around the territory, he examined its layout to see if there were any oversights.

He did not continue to occupy more land,

Although his territory limit was 500 grids,

His buildings had already been constructed in the wild due to the effect of "Santi Blessing."

Therefore, occupying too much territory was unnecessary for now.

Moreover, he had not built any walls,

If the monsters reclaimed the territory, all the buildings on that grid would be destroyed, which would be a huge problem.

So, the current semi-circular territory covered by arrow towers was sufficient.

As the evening clouds turned to twilight,

Su Yu sat on a boulder, gazing at the hardworking farmers.

A large gap had been cut into the northern forest.

Upgrading the arrow towers required a large amount of wood, stone, and refined iron.

The enchantment factory's furnace had never gone out.

"You're back?" Su Yu suddenly asked.

"Mm." Silve came and sat beside him.

Today, she and Elody had spent the whole day playing outside again.

Since their levels were already too high for the new territory,

The beasts near the new territory could hardly provide them with the massive experience points they needed to level up.

So, Su Yu let them play as they pleased.

Resting and rejuvenating, they prepared for the big battle tomorrow.

The two watched the setting sun,

Suddenly, Silve leaned her head on Su Yu's shoulder.

"Lord Su Yu, after defeating the monster wave and becoming an official lord, what do you want to do?" Silve asked softly.

The wind blew,

Carrying a strand of golden hair to Su Yu's nose.

He raised his hand to wipe his nose, then caught the strand of golden hair with his fingers and asked in return:

"What do you want me to do?"

Hearing this, Silve was silent for a long time before saying wistfully, "If possible, I wish you would visit the elves."

"Sure."

"Really?"

"Of course."

"Thank you, my lord!"

"I told you, don't call me 'my lord,' it makes us seem distant."

"Thank you, Lord Su Yu…"

"If you could drop the 'lord' part, that would be even better."

"Then... thank you, Su Yu."

As she spoke, Silve turned her head and kissed Su Yu's cheek.

Then, like a shy mimosa, she quickly left.

The gentle breeze of "Gale Boost" ruffled Su Yu's hair,

In the breeze, the scent of the elf lingered,

Su Yu touched the cheek where the elf had kissed, smiling wryly.

[Because of your promise, Silve's loyalty temporarily +1, current loyalty: 90.]

[Silve's loyalty has increased from "Very Close" to "Heart-to-Heart" (temporary).]

"Temporary... It seems I really need to visit the elves when I have time."

Su Yu looked down at the prompt on the lord terminal, squinting slightly,

The elves,

Once as glorious as the humans among the myriad races and worlds.

But, like the humans, they also declined later.

[You have received a message.]

Bai Bai Xiaowei: "Great Lord Su Yu, how are you going to help me defend against the monster wave...?"

Bai Bai Xiaowei: "A great and majestic, awe-inspiring, and handsome lord like you... surely won't stand me up, right?"

Su Yu: "Isn't it tomorrow? What's the rush?"

Bai Bai Xiaowei: "Great Lord Su Yu, I'm waiting for you, you must help me!"

On this sixth night, more new lords found it hard to sleep.

Tomorrow would determine whether they could become the next,

Official lords.

"I'm so anxious, what if we can't hold off the monster horde…"

"Build more walls, coordinate with arrow towers, and use hero units. How could we possibly not hold them off?"

"Exactly, if we can't even stop the monster horde, we might as well give up and return to Blue Star, to avoid losing our lives here."

"You make it sound so easy, but the probability of Blue Star people passing the monster horde test is only 50%!"

"Sigh, if only we had the help of the great Su Yu."

"We don't even know where his territory is, how could we possibly get his help?"

"He's already at a Level 3 territory. Dealing with the monster horde should be a piece of cake for him."

"That's not necessarily true. The scale of the monster horde isn't determined by the strength of the territory, right?"

"If he encounters a large-scale monster horde, it could be very dangerous."

"Given Su Yu's territory, it's likely to be at the 'Nightmare' level, right?"

"That's not certain. I heard he hasn't even developed any units yet."

"No units developed? I don't believe that. How did he get the Legendary Dragon Eye?"

"I don't know… Maybe he really hunted a Legendary-level dragon?"

"…"

"If that's the case, he might face a 'Heavenly Demon' level monster horde."

"Goodness, I really hope the great Su Yu can survive and lead us."

Bai Bai Xiaowei: "Hehe."

"Bai Bai Xiaowei, what are you laughing about! Is that person called Emperor Bai on the forum you? Have you latched onto the great Su Yu's coattails?"

In the class group chat, there was a lot of discussion.

Most of it was about the monster horde.

The monster horde test for new lords is divided into five levels.

They are:

"Ghost Wolf," "Nightmare," "Heavenly Demon," "Omen," and "Calamity."

What Su Yu wants to face is Calamity.

He believes that with the two Mythic heroes in his territory,

along with over two hundred defensive towers,

they can definitely reach the upper limit of the monster horde—Calamity.

Once he passes the Calamity-level monster horde test,

he will receive unparalleled rewards!

There are often rumors in the Multiverse that if one can obtain the Calamity reward,

even a pig could lead other lords of the same batch.

That's a bit of an exaggeration,
