Chapter 76 Silver Moon City
Liu Huasheng immediately led his team to Silvermoon City.
Since Lü Xuanyue could only carry one tower at a time, Liu Huasheng estimated that attacking Silvermoon City would not be as easy as attacking Hill 4.
At that time, he can only use the Spider Tower to build a base, catapults to launch long-range attacks, and let the greatsword and shield dogs tank damage in front, while a group of heroes fight under the tower...
If the intelligence of the elves in Silvermoon City doesn't improve, Liu Huasheng believes that taking over Silvermoon City shouldn't be too difficult.
Reaching Silvermoon City might be difficult for ordinary players, but Liu Huasheng, who monitored the entire map, had already discovered that after the map was pieced together, a road appeared on the south side of the dense forest below Hill 4.
The road was winding, but it led directly to Silvermoon City.
The elven forces that built their base on Hill 4 clearly invaded through that road.
Liu Huasheng led his team into the road and found that the entire road was a crystal zone, on which no buildings, including defensive towers, were allowed to be constructed.
Upon reaching the junction, a white unicorn suddenly emerged from the woods, blocking the road and speaking in human language: "The Silvermoon Forest ahead is the territory of the Night Elves. Unauthorized entry is tantamount to provoking war. Human, are you sure you wish to proceed?"
Liu Huasheng glanced at it and realized that the unicorn was actually a wild, ownerless game assistant named Afei. Unfazed, Liu Huasheng said, "Little game assistant, get out of my way and don't disturb my journey!"
He thought to himself that if he could finish the battle quickly, he might be able to lead the main force back before the fifth wave of monsters invaded!
The unicorn, Afei, said, "Human, you're playing with fire!"
"Hey, get your facts straight, the Pokémon attacked first, okay?"
Liu Huasheng ignored the unicorn; he didn't want to waste too much time on his journey.
The unicorn followed him from a distance, occasionally jumping out to issue warnings.
Liu Huasheng did not lead the team the entire time. After a short while, he used a teleportation talisman to return to Huaxia Dragon City, leaving Zhou Shuqi to continue leading the team.
Silvermoon City is estimated to be nearly 30 miles away from his own Huaxia Dragon City. This can be considered a long expedition for Liu Huasheng. He dared not be careless and made a special trip back to monitor the entire map and investigate potential hazards.
Fortunately, everything is under control.
Afterwards, Liu Huasheng used teleportation talismans to travel back and forth between Huaxia Dragon City and the expeditionary force, taking care of city wall construction, full-map monitoring, selling watermelons in the trading market, and the advance of the troops.
In the evening, Qin Wuman reported to Liu Huasheng that Peiqi at the pig farm had mutated and become a "Tin-skinned Pig," re-entering its growth period!
"Iron-skinned pigs grow much slower than regular piglets. Whether they can obtain the Earth Pig Vein during the fifth wave of monster invasions now depends entirely on George!"
Liu Huasheng understood.
As night fell, Liu Huasheng discovered that Sima Zhen had led a team to the outskirts of Xianlong City, apparently to purchase catapults.
In the surveillance footage, Liu Huasheng could clearly see that Sima Zhen had taken a total of 40 catapults from Xianlong City.
Liu Huasheng guessed that either Ma Xianlong had stockpiled a lot of catapults in Xianlong City, or that his previous statement that it took ten minutes to make a catapult was false, and that the catapults could be made very quickly!
After Sima Zhen left, Liu Huasheng saw Ma Xianlong standing under Xianlong City, laughing heartily and dancing with joy.
"This guy is really optimistic..."
Liu Huasheng muttered to himself, thinking to himself that this guy, Lao Ma, really has no heart or soul.
His Immortal Dragon City only had a little over a thousand durability points, and no one in the trading house was selling the [Tower Repair] skill book. After the fifth wave of monster invasion began, the situation of Immortal Dragon City was predictable.
If he were a prison guard, he would have committed suicide long ago and become a wild monster. The sooner he dies, the sooner he can be reborn!
Liu Huasheng continued to monitor Sima Zhen's actions. He actually led 40 catapults straight to the Lost Temple. After arriving, he even controlled the catapults to attack the Tower of Repulsion.
Qin Wuman has already bombarded the Lost Temple with missiles today, and the durability of a repelling tower outside the temple is only 4000.
Sima Zhen quickly destroyed the catapults and continued attacking the last repelling tower. When the tower's durability was reduced to half, a squad of heavily armored kobold archers rushed out of the lost temple, and Hua Xiaolan also made her appearance.
Enemies meeting are bound to be furious, and a battle quickly broke out.
In the end, Sima Zhen lost more than a dozen spearmen and 39 catapults. He fled in disgrace with a few remaining soldiers.
The last tower that was used to repel the enemy was forcibly destroyed, leaving only three heavily armored kobolds alive. Hua Xiaolan was powerless to pursue them and angrily jumped up and down cursing in front of the Lost Temple.
Even more outrageous, Sima Zhen, who had escaped, returned to Xianlong City, took control of the last remaining catapult, and attacked Xianlong City again.
Ma Xianlong ran out and seemed to have a verbal battle with Sima Zhen. In the end, he brought out five catapults and destroyed Sima Zhen's only catapult.
Then, Ma Xianlong tore open a scroll, used his abilities, and ran away with his Xianlong City again!
Liu Huasheng spent a minute searching on the strategic map before realizing that this guy had become an island lord again. However, the island he occupied was neither Welding Island nor Holy War Island, but a small island in the northwest corner of the "Western Luo Continent"!
The monster strongholds on the small island had been cleared, and a moment later, the prison warlord even organized laborers to mine gold.
"That prison guard is quite an oddball! Maybe he really can pull off a miraculous escape?"
Liu Huasheng muttered to himself, thinking that Ma Xianlong, Sima Zhen and Hua Xiaolan were having quite a good time. If he hadn't ruined Ma Xianlong's plan to go to the island, and had let the three of them compete for supremacy in Lostanpu, it would have been very interesting!
A moment later, Liu Huasheng sent out flying thieves. Without any cover, the thieves successfully infiltrated the Lost Temple and stole more than 1,600 gold coins!
The next morning, as the expeditionary force approached Silvermoon City, Liu Huasheng built half a tower and then used a teleportation scroll to rush there.
After a brief observation, Liu Huasheng made some simple arrangements and prepared to launch an attack on Silvermoon City.
The unicorn Afei reappeared, shouting, "Human, you will perish here! Silvermoon City is not something you can conquer!"
Liu Huasheng ignored him and immediately ordered 40 catapults to attack the ancient guardians outside Silvermoon City.
Silvermoon City reacted swiftly, opening its gates wide and its soldiers immediately rushed out, still consisting of elven archers and moonblade knights.
Although they were numerous, they were of low intelligence and not much different from wild monsters, so Liu Huasheng didn't care at all.
With a wave of his hand, the greatsword-wielding shield-and-dog slowly stepped forward, immediately attracting a large number of elven archers and moonblade knights to surround and attack.
At first, the battle was very easy. The Greatsword Shield Dog tanked the damage in front, while the Spider Tower, the Undying River, and the Ancient Guardians controlled by Zhou Shuqi could safely deal damage from behind.
The Greatsword Shield Dog's tankiness is absurd; it's even more resilient than the opposing Silvermoon City, standing firmly in front and taking all the damage!
Liu Huasheng was also busy, controlling 40 catapults from the rear to eliminate the ancient guardians of Silvermoon City one by one.
There are 24 Ancient Guardians outside Silvermoon City, all of which are Tier 1 defensive towers. They are placed relatively loosely, so they can be defeated one by one.
Although the catapults are bulky and heavy, there are 40 of them. Three rounds of concentrated fire can destroy an Ancient Guardian, and two can be taken down in a minute.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the ancient guardians of Silvermoon City were eliminated.
A moment later, the heroes of Silvermoon City appeared.
It was an eighth-level archel mage who ignored the greatsword-wielding dogs and led a small squad of moonblade knights to the foot of the Spider Fairy Tower. He transformed into a giant bear and engaged in a fierce battle with Bodina and the others.
The firepower of a single Spider Fairy Tower is still somewhat weak.
Fortunately, Bodina is strong enough.
With Liu Huasheng controlling the tower from the rear, Bodina easily defeated the great elven mage, leveled up to level eight, and her strength increased once again.
When the Moonblade Knights who rushed to the tower were all killed, Liu Huasheng's side lost four Hellhounds and destroyed six catapults.
After that, Silvermoon City organized two more assaults, each time with a hero leading a small squad of Moonblade Knights, charging towards the Spider Tower, but they failed to pose a significant threat to Bodina and the others.
The entire battle lasted for two hours. Finally, just as Silvermoon City's durability was about to run out, a white light suddenly appeared, and its health was locked!
Liu Huasheng controlled the catapult to attack, and it no longer lost durability.
At that moment, a white-haired female elf emerged from Silvermoon City.
This female elf was probably over two meters tall, very beautiful, and wore a golden headband. She had a noble air about her. Liu Huasheng saw her identity information: her name was Tylandor, the city lord of Silvermoon City, and the native lord of this forest.
"Human, your strength has exceeded my expectations! If you are willing to abandon your attack, I, Tyrandor, Lord of Silvermoon City and a night elf, am willing to offer the Silvermoon Treasure in exchange for your friendship!"
The beautiful elf Tyrande narrowed her eyes and looked down at Liu Huasheng.
Just then, the unicorn Afei reappeared, eagerly urging Liu Huasheng, "Quickly say yes!"
"No way!" Liu Huasheng retorted, continuing to control the catapults to attack Silvermoon City, but Silvermoon City was truly locked in a stalemate.
"Damn it, can't you fight anymore?"
Liu Huasheng frowned.
The unicorn Afei added, "Human, quickly agree to Tyrande's request, and you'll win her favor!"
"What's the use of having a good impression?"
"Once you have enough goodwill, you can recruit her as a hero! She's an A-rank hero!"
"What if I don't agree?"
"Actually, there's no such option. Silvermoon City, by its very design, is not yet at a point where it can be destroyed!"
"Then when can we destroy it?"
"Wait until you recruit Tyrandot, or until she's recruited by someone else!"
"All right!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Huasheng had no choice but to abandon the siege. He said to Tyrande, "Elf, I agree to withdraw my troops. Send over your compensation!"
With a wave of her hand, Tyrande conjured a treasure chest in front of Liu Huasheng. Tyrande then returned to Silvermoon City, which remained radiant and invincible, its durability slowly recovering.
At this moment, the Greatsword Shield Dog still had 10,000 durability points left. It automatically went to the side to chop wood, working tirelessly. The title of model worker was truly well-deserved.
"The process was thrilling but ultimately went smoothly; my sword and shield deserve the most credit!"
Liu Huasheng summarized that, as for his losses, a total of seven Hellhounds were killed, and 22 of the forty catapults remained!
However, those who survived all gained a lot of experience points. Shinazugawa even leveled up to level nine, and Zhou Shuqi leveled up to level five!
"Let's see what the spoils are like!"
Liu Huasheng stepped forward and opened the treasure chest. With a flash of light, four items appeared in front of him.
