Chapter 70: The Terrifying Arrow Defense Tower!

"Yes, yes, yes! That's the route!"

"Go, go, go! Beat the crap out of that bastard!"

The spectators in their individual sub-dimensions

all stirred with righteous indignation.

Finally, the unit carrying the scouting mist

advanced in a straight line, about to touch Su Yu's territory!

Whoosh —

One tile of war fog dispersed.

The instant Su Yu's territory was revealed,

those three scout units swiftly pulled back and retreated.

"Twang!"

The bowstring rang, arrows hummed,

several earth-shaking, heaven-rending roars erupted,

the three scouts widened their eyes, utterly unable to dodge in time,

struck by arrows in a flash, reduced to a mess of blood and flesh between heaven and earth.

[Your unit, Scout, has died.]

A notification sounded from the lord terminal.

Cang Lin, who had been waiting impatiently, was not alarmed but delighted.

He had finally found the opponent’s territory!

He actually hunkered down in one spot,

and what was more, his territory was only a single tile.

This was far too insulting — treating him as if he were nothing!

“Liman, charge with me!”

Cang Lin mounted a sturdy black horse

and left his territory.

He would personally conquer the territory of this lord who possessed a legendary hero!

He would show the world that legendary heroes were not invincible.

As the first person to defeat a territory with a legendary hero,

he, Cang Lin, would make his name in a single battle!

A multitude of troop types began to converge.

Cang Lin possessed one common troop type — 100 scouts.

Two advanced troop types — 300 orc warriors and dwarf axemen.

And one rare troop type — 500 corrosive ants.

Coupled with his two advanced heroes,

he was confident that defeating a single legendary hero would be as easy as reaching out his hand!

A legendary hero merely had stronger individual combat power;

faced with a siege like this, there was simply no way to reverse fate.

“Heh, he didn’t even recall his troops inside.”

“And there are only eight arrow defense towers as buildings.”

As he drew near Su Yu’s territory,

Cang Lin felt an urge to laugh.

Suddenly, the smile on his face froze,

and the hand holding his telescope froze as well.

He saw Su Yu lying on a reclining chair,

mouth open wide,

while beside him, an indescribably beautiful elf maiden used a knife and fork to spear a piece of watermelon from a fruit plate

and placed it into Su Yu’s mouth.

“Crack.”

The telescope was crushed to pieces in Cang Lin’s grip.

A nameless fury blazed in his heart.

He had been exhausting himself marching and deploying troops, and seeing Su Yu enjoying himself so thoroughly enraged him completely.

He was, after all, a lord from the human race’s main universe, a primary planet.

You, a lord from a fringe universe, a fringe planet,

how dare you disrespect me like this??

“Charge!!”

Cang Lin led his many troop types and heroes and launched the charge.

He wanted not only to win this simulated battle,

but also to torture and kill that elf hero right in front of the other lord!

“Thwishthwishthwishthwishthwish—”

The sound of arrows tore through the sky.

“Haha, they’re finally fighting.”

“Not easy.”

“That guy called Su Yu is finished.”

“I thought he might have some hidden backup plan.”

“They’re already at his doorstep.”

“What does he think a legendary hero is? An invincible unit?”

“He’s lost, nothing worth watching now.”

“Ugh, wasted my time. I really thought he had something up his sleeve.”

“Tsk tsk.”

The great army charged toward Su Yu’s territory.

A clamor of noise erupted.

The Moonstar Queen looked coldly at the Blue Star Nation Lord.

“If Su Yu loses, you will cough up everything the Blue Star Alliance swallowed!”

“W-well, he hasn’t lost yet…”

the Blue Star Nation Lord said, lacking confidence. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead,

his face full of anxiety as he stared at the large screen.

What in the world was Su Yu doing?

"What was Su Yu the Prodigy even thinking…"

"The enemy is practically at the gates."

"And he still won't project any other troop types or buildings?"

"In simulation battles, once enemy units are on the territory, you can't project anything more."

"It's over."

The Blue Star spectators were sighing in despair.

Who would have thought the much-talked-about figure with a legendary hero,

would actually just give up and throw the match.

Handing victory to his opponent just like that.

"Has anyone noticed… isn't the arrow defense tower's attack a bit too high?"

A timid voice spoke up.

Hearing this, everyone froze for a moment.

The despondent Gu Gu Linger immediately raised her head and stared intently at the big screen.

The charge had barely covered a few hundred meters,

yet the great army of corrosive ants and orc warriors had already lost a third of its force!

Arrows that were clearly single-target attacks

seemed to be producing an area-of-effect impact,

the shockwave from a single arrow enough to kill three or four soldiers!

Th-this…

This is an arrow defense tower?

No, how can its range be this far?

A level 10 arrow defense tower only has a range of 200 meters.

How do these eight arrow defense towers seem to have over a thousand meters??

"What is going on…"

Everyone was stunned.

The arrow defense towers that had suddenly erupted with power

sent arrow after arrow tearing through the sky, too fast for their eyes to follow.

At first they hadn't noticed these arrow defense towers were so monstrous.

But as a little time passed, the sheer horror of them became clear.

"No way, a common arrow defense tower, and he's leveled it to 40?"

"A Level 3 Lord Crystal can't unlock the cap all the way to level 40, right?"

"Maybe it's been modified, or he used some kind of territory item."

"This is insane. Such good resources, and he used them on a common-grade Arrow Defense Tower?"

"What a criminal waste..."

The audience erupted, voices surging like a tide.

They hadn't witnessed the might of a legendary hero,

but instead saw an utterly outrageous Arrow Defense Tower.

Bang!

The giant black horse beneath him was blasted away by the arrow.

Cang Lin was swept off, thrown tumbling to the ground by the recoil.

0 ·····Please give flowers·· ········

He lifted his head, a blank look on his face.

How... had eight Arrow Defense Towers wiped out his entire force?

[Detecting that all troops and heroes have been slain. You have been defeated.]

"Su Yu the god is insane!!"

850296501

"He won, he won!"

The Blue Star spectators below cheered in unison.

The light gradually dispersed.

Su Yu stretched lazily,

and exited the simulation battle space.

Fighting a newly-minted lord truly was boring enough.

It didn't stir the slightest spark of passion in him.

The Blue Star Nation Lord let out a breath of relief; the Moon Star Queen felt the great stone lift from her heart.

The sheer power of this Arrow Defense Tower had completely shattered their understanding.

To have witnessed such an utterly bizarre arrow tower,

this match could hardly be called a waste of time!

"Buffing an Arrow Defense Tower to this extent... way too extravagant."

"What if the guy's talent specifically boosts arrows?"

"Even then, building a higher-grade defense tower would be better."

"Yeah, judging by this, he went all-in on Arrow Defense Towers."

"The arrow tower's level must be at the Level 3 Lord Crystal cap: level 30."

"Heh, this is only strong early on. When everyone's territory develops later, one rare defense tower will be way stronger than this."

The idle chatter around the venue never ceased.

At that, the cheers from the Blue Star lords instantly quieted down.

Dazed, they looked at one another,

in dead silence.

They wanted to speak up and defend Su Yu,

but couldn't find any angle to argue from.

In the end, they could only stand frozen in awkward silence.

"I— I'm going to go do my simulation battle."

"Me too."

The members of the Blue Star Alliance were the first to find the atmosphere unbearable. After bidding Su Yu farewell, they all dispersed one after another.

Su Yu's classmates, however, argued with those people for a while.

The guy just won without relying on a legendary hero,

and you still have the nerve to run your mouths?

Do any of you have an Arrow Defense Tower like that?

Green with envy, aren't you!

"Su Yu, well done."

The Nation Lord patted Su Yu on the shoulder.

His thoughts differed from everyone else's.

In his eyes, Su Yu had always been a quick-witted, neither servile nor overbearing young man.

He surely had his own development strategy and plans for his territory.

He would not interfere; he trusted Su Yu.

"Su Yu the god, I have a match too. Are you going to cheer for me?"

Bai Bai Xiaowei bounced up to Su Yu, looking at him with eyes full of anticipation.

"Not now, I have things to do." Su Yu waved his hand.

He didn't want to expose too much of his territory's strength in the qualifiers; this match had indeed wasted quite a lot of his time.

He still wanted to go play a round of TW simulation battle.

Only by fighting those previous-generation lords could he ignite his true passion.

"Fine." Bai Bai Xiaowei pouted and started matchmaking for a battle.

She didn't have much hope anyway; she'd just fight casually.

Gu Gu Linger saw that Su Yu had even turned down Bai Bai Xiaowei, and swallowed the words she was about to say.

She silently began matchmaking for a duel.
