“Let’s head back. The new round of monster siege is about to begin,” Su Yu looked at Moke and his daughter.
“Alright, thank you, my lord, for helping us level up!” Moke expressed his genuine gratitude.
Moke had initially thought that Su Yu brought his daughter into the forest for a sinister purpose.
Seeing Su Yu earnestly helping them level up, Moke’s great shame set in, he should not have doubted the lord.
“You’re welcome, it’s what I should do. If you really want to thank me, just perform well in the upcoming monster siege,” Su Yu waved his hand.
One of the advantages to leveling up Moke and Kathy to level 30 is, after their second order promotion, their attributes are now higher than the bosses in the monster siege.
In the upcoming monster siege, the two of them can be of great assistance.
“We will do our best!” Moke loudly promised.
Su Yu took Moke and his daughter back to Aphix Town.
Just as they arrived at the town’s entrance, Su Yu managed to catch the game announcement of the next monster siege.
However, this round of “Monster Siege” didn’t seem like the previous ones.
The announcement read:
“[Aphix Town] population exceeds 1200, successfully upgraded to [Medium-sized Town]. The town’s prosperity has attracted the attention of surrounding bandits. In 30 minutes, these bandits will attack Aphix Village, please be prepared.”
“This time, the attackers – the bandits average level — [20], other information unknown. Countdown begins 29:57.”
Upon seeing the announcement, Su Yu paused.
Why did it become a “Bandit Attack”?
In his previous life, territory upgrades were attacked by monsters in the early stages, and only after upgrading to [County Town], would they encounter bandit attacks.
He did not expect the bandit attack to happen earlier than expected!
The difficulty of a bandit attack is many times higher than a monster siege. After all, the monster siege only entails stupid monsters, while a bandit attack has tricky bandits. The nature of the enemy changes entirely.
Shooting is Truth apparently saw the game announcement too and quickly sent a private message: “Boss Ke, have you seen the game announcement?”
Su Yu: “Of course, I saw it. I guess, the bandit attack was probably orchestrated by the lord of Orleans city, whom I have offended before.”
Shooting is Truth: “Should we change our defensive strategy?”
Su Yu: “Absolutely. You will lead the elite team to guard the east and west sides of the town and leave the north side to me.”
Shooting is Truth: “Leave it to you? Are you going to defend it yourself? However, this time we are up against level 20 bandits, are you sure you can hold them off on your own?”
Su Yu: “Don’t worry! Moreover, it won’t just be me defending, I’ll have two extra helping hands.”
Shooting is Truth: “Alright then, I respect your decision.”
After making the decision, the relevant departments started gathering at the walls of the town for preparation.
Half an hour later, the fifth monster accurately speaking, the first-ever bandit attack officially commenced.
As the countdown ended, the bandits amassed from the forest with dreadful momentum.
They were brandishing long knives, howling devilishly.
And the bandits were remarkably prepared.
Considering the siege, they not only had warriors with huge shields at the front to block spells and arrows, but even had numerous [Catapult], mages, and archers in the back.
The [Catapult] hurled giant flaming rocks into the densely packed formation of the relevant department, each hit taking out more than a dozen people.
The high-level spells of the bandit mages and the arrows of the bandit archers rained down, sparking an intense outburst of white light.
As soon as the battle commenced, Shooting is Truth realized that the enemy’s long-range firepower was superior.
If they continued like this, they wouldn’t last long under the covering fire of the enemy and would be completely eliminated.
So he issued an order: “All troops, charge!”
“Charge!”
The warriors yelled commands, advancing one after another in a melee combat with the enemy.
After the melee began, the bandit’s long-range firepower became ineffective, the relevant departments relying on their superior equipment, skills, and coordination, gained the upper hand.
Eventually, the bandits were entirely annihilated in the fierce brawl.
As for the northern side of the town, where Su Yu was, the battlefield was rather uneventful.
For Su Yu, killing these level 20 bandits was no different than killing level 14 monsters. Given his 11-level suppression of the bandits, only a quarter of his group spell could instantly wipe out these bandits.
So under the coverage of large-scale range spells, these bandits fell in swathes, providing almost no resistance to him.
Furthermore, Su Yu cleverly controlled the damage output, ensuring his area spells reduced each bandit’s health to a sliver before letting Moke and Kathy deal the killing blow.
Moke and Kathy greatly benefitted from this.
They each used their group attack skills to finish off the bandits on low health, their experience points increasing steadily!
By the end of the battle, after jointly killing over 700 bandits, they both gained 5 levels, reaching level 35.
“Thank you, my lord!,” after the battle, Moke half knelt down leaning on his sword, expressing his gratitude towards Su Yu.
“No need for thanks, it’s my duty as I’ve said before,” Su Yu brushed it off.
“But, it’s not time for you two to rest,” Su Yu looked at Moke and Kathy, “I am taking you somewhere, be prepared.”
“My lord, where are we going?” Kathy asked cautiously.
“We are heading to Scholar’s Temple in Goldfinch city. Kathy, there you can learn some new ice-based skills,” Su Yu gently rubbed the little girl’s head.
He then turned to Moke, “Moke, you can also go to the Warrior’s Guild in Goldfinch City to learn new skills. After learning the skills, I’ll take you both to Goldfinch City’s market to buy a set of second stage equipment.”
Actually, Su Yu visiting the [Scholar’s Temple] is not solely for learning new skills. He wishes to gather reinforcements with the help of his contacts at [Scholar’s Temple], which may prove crucial in future battles.
Helping Moke and his daughter to buy equipment and learn skills was a minor side issue.
Nonetheless, Moke and his daughter were visibly excited. Moke, stirred with emotion, said, “Thank you, my lord, for doing so much for us. I don’t know how to repay you!”
“If you want to repay me, just marry your daughter to me,” Su Yu joked, “Later, you can call me brother, and I’ll call you dad, let’s keep to our own affairs.”
The color drained from Moke’s face: “???!!!”
“Just kidding!” Su Yu laughed and patted his shoulder, “I have to go back to my territory to handle some private affairs. I’ll notify you guys later and we’ll go to Goldfinch City together.”
After he finished speaking, Su Yu activated the Hearthstone and disappeared into the white light.
After the bandit attack, Shooting is truth’s Elite team didn’t stick around like the previous time and directly left Su Yu’s territory.
Shooting is Truth, like the last time, went to find Su Yu in the town.
“How are our casualties?” Su Yu promptly greeted him as he arrived in the town’s central square.
“Ai, we suffered heavy casualties this time!” Shooting is Truth had a bitter smile on his face, “We lost a total of 327 people, we managed to win only after almost half of our members died.”
Shooting is Truth clearly didn’t expect this round of attack to be so challenging. The previous level 20 monster siege cost them only a dozen people, but this time it cost them over 300!
The bandits are indeed much harder to deal with than mere monsters!
