"Ooo... ooo... ooo..."
Midnight, 00:00:01.
The deep sound of a horn echoed precisely.
The next moment, the second wave of attacks began.
Four hundred robust monsters, accompanied by twenty Elite Rank monsters, ferociously charded towards Qin Feng's territory.
However, under the combined volley from two arrow towers and thirty Archer, the monsters were completely annihilated before they could even breach the five layer wooden wall.
This wave of attack was so easily annihilated that Qin Feng found it somewhat unbelievable.
However, Qin Feng didn't have time to think much and immediately issued orders to everyone in the territory.
"Fox Clan Members, roast meat! Trap team, set traps! Logging team, cut trees! The rest of you, start building walls!"
To accommodate the Lord Trial's combat schedule, the territory adopted a work at midnight routine.
To be honest, this was very demanding.
But fortunately, everyone knew the situation was special, so there were no complaints, and under Qin Feng's leadership, the affairs of the territory were completed in an orderly manner.
It was under these circumstances that a simple city wall, three meters high, half a meter thick, and entirely constructed from mud, bricks and cement, was erected in the territory.
At the same time, two new arrow towers were built in the territory, and twenty new archer were recruited.
Qin Feng also went to the neutral shop to unlock the Shield Bearer and Spearman professions, and purchased the blueprints for wooden shields and spears.
By the time all this was done, it was already approaching night.
Qin Feng and the others, in order to maintain good combat status, went to sleep early and woke up to the third wave of attack.
For the third wave of attack, Qin Feng originally thought it would be as easy as the second wave.
However, reality delivered a resounding slap to Qin Feng's face.
In that battle, the newly built city wall in the territory was utterly smashed.
Of the four arrow towers, three collapsed, twenty-three of the fifty Archer were killed, and even twenty or so Villagers died.
Such heavy losses made Qin Feng heartbroken, and Audi, Snow Zither, and all the other Citizens wept bitterly.
The only thing to be thankful for was that everyone's morale did not drop; in fact, their desire to survive increased.
Riding this momentum, Qin Feng led his Citizens to once again build a city wall three meters high and two meters thick.
At the same time, the arrow towers were expanded to six, and the Archer were increased to sixty.
Furthermore, twenty strong Shield Bearers and ten proficient Spearmen were recruited.
Thus, the fourth wave of attack arrived.
Although the fourth wave of attack also cost Qin Feng and the others some price, overall, it was manageable.
This greatly boosted the confidence of Qin Feng and all his Citizens.
At the same time, the number of arrow towers in the territory also increased to ten; although the Archer remained sixty, the Shield Bearers increased to thirty, and the Spearmen also increased to thirty.
Not only that, Qin Feng also intentionally had the Spearmen train the Villagers.
After one day, the Villagers had all mastered the skill of throwing spears, giving them some fighting capability.
And so, the fifth wave of attack arrived.
One thousand monsters, led by one hundred Elite Rank ones, swarmed in like a tide.
Facing such a large-scale enemy, Qin Feng for the first time extensively used magic bombs.
This decision was correct.
Under the bombardment of magic bombs, large swathes of monsters fell to the ground.
Coupled with the continuous attacks from ten arrow towers, sixty Archer, thirty Spearmen, and over thirty Villagers.
Qin Feng and the others achieved victory in the fifth wave of attack with zero casualties.
This battle once again greatly boosted the morale in the territory.
Coincidentally, the average loyalty of the territory surprisingly increased to ninety, achieving the accomplishment [Popular Will] and unlocking the rare silver grade building [Lord Statue].
This Lord Statue was a good thing!
Placed in the territory, it could accelerate the increase in loyalty of the Citizens, making it a rare buff-type building.
This made Qin Feng overjoyed, though of course, he didn't forget the current situation.
To deal with the sixth wave of attack, Qin Feng increased the number of arrow towers to fourteen, and at the same time, expanded the Archer to one hundred in one go.
Not only that, with everyone's combined efforts, the city wall was raised and widened, which gave the entire wall a magnificent aura.
Of course, to save time and materials, the current city wall was still just a lonely single wall.
"Ooo…"
Again, at 00:00:01, the deep sound of the horn heralded the arrival of the sixth wave of attack.
In this sixth wave of attack, five hundred flying monsters actually appeared!
Fortunately, Qin Feng had already considered this point and immediately ordered the arrow towers and Archers to shoot them into pincushions.
However, this made the monsters on the ground somewhat difficult to stop.
The newly raised and widened city wall was actually breached by robust, muscular monsters, creating a hole.
For a moment, a small section of the city wall collapsed, and many Archer, Spearmen, and Villagers on the wall died instantly.
But fortunately, Qin Feng and the others stood united and ultimately held on!
After holding off the sixth wave of attack, Qin Feng increased the arrow towers to twenty, the Archer to one hundred thirty, the Spearmen to sixty, and even the Shield Bearers to fifty.
At the same time, Qin Feng also ordered everyone to build a new city wall behind the existing one.
Considering that there wasn't enough time to build the wall high and wide.
Qin Feng ordered everyone to pile up the bodies of the monsters in front of the original city wall, forming a buffer 'corpse wall'!
Relying on this corpse wall, along with over two hundred Archer, Spearmen, Shield Bearers, and Villagers.
The seventh wave of attack and the eighth wave of attack were both successfully repelled.
It was on the night the eighth wave of attack ended that the newly built city wall in the territory was completed and officially put into use.
The original city wall, along with a large number of corpses, formed a buffer defense line.
At the same time, several good pieces of news also appeared in the territory.
First, the Villager who had learned the "Seeker (Class/Title)" profession was promoted to the advanced profession "Researcher," allowing Qin Feng to unlock the [laboratory] building.
This gave Qin Feng's territory the ability to research "technology"!
Unfortunately, this ability would not be of much use in this Lord Trial.
Second, Hu Ling completed her hidden quest and brought Qin Feng a profession scroll (Merchant).
Qin Feng didn't think much and directly had Snow Zither tear open the profession scroll, obtaining the "Merchant" profession.
And Qin Feng's territory also unlocked the [market] building as a result.
However, similarly, the market would not be of much use in this Lord Trial, so Qin Feng could only be happy about it.
But the last good piece of news was a great help to the current Lord Trial!
After ten days of study, a Villager in the territory actually learned the "Magic Apprentices" profession.
The appearance of this profession not only allowed Qin Feng's territory to directly recruit Magic Apprentices.
It even allowed him to unlock an achievement and obtain the rare black iron grade building — [academy (original building)]!
This was simply fantastic news!
Magic Apprentices, although not good at attacking, still knew magic.
As a result, the production of magic bombs in the territory could increase several, or even dozens, of times!
Without further thought, Qin Feng directly used his remaining resources to recruit eight Magic Apprentices and immediately handed them over to Audi.
Thus, relying on the arrow towers, Archer, Spearmen, Shield Bearers, Villagers, and a large number of magic bombs.
Qin Feng and the others successfully weathered the subsequent waves of attacks...
