Chapter 141: Chapter 103: Fighting on Two Fronts, Resisting the Siege of 20 Bosses and an Endless, Surging Monster Tide
SWOOSH!
SWOOSH!
SWOOSH!
Atop the walls of Peter’s Castle, a dense fog was released to obscure the enemy’s vision. Simultaneously, a blizzard was unleashed, an area-of-effect attack that slowed enemies and applied a cold debuff. Shen Fei’s other Defense Towers, which had been on standby, also sprang into action.
Leading the charge was, of course, the Vine Tower he was already very familiar with. Its range had been boosted to 30 kilometers by his allies’ support towers, allowing it to engage the siege NPCs spawning within that radius. The massive vines could strike any position on the battlefield. Facing tens of thousands of charging Knights, who were already slowed and frostbitten, a single Vine Tower defended an entire flank. On the battlefield, countless python-like vines swept across the slowed Knights. Instantly, as if hitting a tripwire, the slowed Knights toppled over in droves. Dozens of thick vines swept back and forth across the battlefield, meeting no worthy resistance.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
On the left side of the wall, a giant Corn Cannon Attack Tower was deployed for the first time. This special Defense Tower was all about massive, wide-area destruction. Moreover, it only struck the ground, causing no damage to the land itself. Its only drawback was that the missile-like cannon’s Attack Speed was too slow. After firing a single shot, it needed nearly an hour to recharge.
However, with the help of eight hundred allies, this flaw vanished without a trace. Buffed by countless allied support towers, the corn cannons soared into the sky, firing at a rapid rate of one shot every two seconds.
BOOM!
A golden corn cannon, dozens of meters long, slammed into the ground, and countless small corn kernels instantly burst out. Amidst the rumbling, all the small kernels detonated. In a flash, all NPCs within a two-kilometer radius of the impact point were annihilated. All that remained was the black dust left behind by the explosion.
CLANG!
WHIRRR!

On the right side of the wall, the large Saw Blade Defense Tower that Shen Fei had set up was showing its might. This Defense Tower, which looked like it was made of stacked saw blades, could fire three rows of giant saw blades per second under the effect of the support towers. The diameter of the blades was a full hundred meters. Three rows of large saw blades were viciously launched, skimming across the ground. Instantly, the NPC Knights in their path were sliced in half. Wherever the blades passed, a clear path several hundred meters wide was left in their wake.
The furiously spinning blades traveled for nearly ten kilometers before slowly dissipating into the air. However, just as the previous wave of blades vanished, the next wave was already being fired. Occasionally, when a support tower providing a critical hit buff activated, the number of blades in a row would crit, increasing to as many as ten. Whenever ten blades were fired, the entire right side of the battlefield was instantly cleared.
ZAP!
ZAP!
ZAP!
At the rear of the battlefield, countless attacks had, of course, already begun. On the rear wall, Shen Fei had placed a Magic Tower. It was only polite to return the favor. Since the enemy had used a Magic Tower that could sweep the area with a Magic Light Column during their defense, Shen Fei had now deployed a Magic Tower on his rear wall.
And what’s more, Shen Fei’s Magic Tower was stronger and more ferocious. The Magic Tower, topped with a giant orb, unleashed more than a dozen light columns. The dozen or so thick, long Magic Light Columns would sometimes merge and other times attack individually. One moment they formed a V-shape, the next, a straight line. The enemies at the rear couldn’t even get close.
"Whoa!"
"Holy crap!"
"What the fuck!!"
"I thought... wasn’t the second phase supposed to be harder? This is it??"
All four sides of the castle wall were sealed off tight by Shen Fei’s Defense Towers. Hidden in the fog, the Guardians of Qing City who witnessed this were all stunned. This was just too damn strong! Or rather, it was ridiculously overpowered.
It’s only because of the fog that you can’t see the details on the wall. If you could, you’d all be losing your minds.
Standing not far from Shen Fei, Wang Dapang, who was personally hosting the livestream of the defensive battle, thought to himself as he watched Shen Fei annihilate everything. The defensive battle for Qing City was also being livestreamed. This was a requirement from the Tourism Management Office headquarters—to broaden the knowledge of all players, any battle involving the Tourism Management Office had to be broadcast live. But the specifics of *how* to stream it were not stipulated. Having already figured out Shen Fei’s stance on the matter from their previous chat, Wang Dapang currently had the livestream’s camera aimed outside the city walls. In the video feed, one could see countless NPC Knights falling rapidly, but the attacking Defense Towers on the walls were shrouded in fog and not visible on the stream.
CRACK!
CRACK!
CRACK!
As the first wave of Knights charging from all four directions was being rapidly wiped out, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed. The monster-spawning Teleportation Gate suddenly flared with light. Four Knights appeared, riding tall horses, carrying longbows on their backs and great lances in their hands, their bodies glowing with a distinct purple light. The moment they appeared, four-colored buffing Auras lit up around all the ordinary Knights.
ROAR!
ROAR!
ROAR!
ROAR!
Following four tremendous roars, Shen Fei saw purple phantoms, hundreds of meters tall, materialize over the four phalanxes of Knights. With the buff from these purple, spirit-like phantoms, many of his attacks were actually being blocked. Even the blizzard that surrounded the base of the wall found its slowing and freezing effects had been diminished.
That’s the purple archer Knight boss from the previous defensive battle! There was only one of them during the defense, and it got incidentally one-shotted by the Star-Slaying Tower... Now there are four of them for the siege?
Looking at the enormous purple phantoms, Shen Fei instantly recognized them as the same type of boss from the previous defense.
