My Chaotic City

Chapter 053 Who Came with This Terrible Idea?

Zhen Deqiang was sitting in the rear, his face grim.

The casualties from these people rushing into the tower were too heavy.

Once you die, your level drops drastically, and your attributes decrease accordingly. Even a master will become a weakling after dying a few times.

"President! I need to take leave. I can't afford to die anymore; if I die again, I'll become trash!"

The player with the agile circular shield who had been moving around earlier came up to Zhen Deqiang with a bitter look on his face. In just a short while, his level had dropped to 10, and he could no longer equip some of his original equipment due to level restrictions. Now, his maximum health was only 1250.

"What are you chickening out for!" Zhen Deqiang glared and roared, "Charge! Charge now! Don't be a coward! Oh, and take down the towers! Once you take down the defensive towers, everything will be fine!"

Zhen Deqiang shouted, and under his command, more players emerged from the time-space wormhole.

Furthermore, many players started using skills to attack the defensive towers, throwing fireballs and darts at them.

Li Hanqiang was both excited and nervous. The attacking players were very vulnerable to the attacks of the defensive towers. No matter how skilled they were, they were all instantly killed. However, the attacking players were numerous and powerful. They would die, respawn, and come back one after another. The key was that they were fast and managed to push the city to the defensive towers.

Fortunately, the two people fanning and lighting the fire were steady enough to miraculously manage to crawl up.

"Come on, kill me! I only have 4500 HP and 135 defense!" the Fan Knight shouted.

"Yeah, hurry up and kill him! He's lying there letting you hit him, if you don't kill him, the siege isn't a success!" The Ignition Sword Saint shouted wildly.

The players from the Emperor Guild were helpless. Withstanding the firepower of the defensive towers was of little use; killing the defending players was the most important thing.

But the two who were fanning the wind and lighting the fire were like rocks in a cesspool—stinky and hard, lying there and letting you kill them, yet you just couldn't break through them.

They also do drugs, it's infuriating!

In addition, a large group of skeleton soldiers have successfully built a skeleton wall, cutting off the entire war corridor.

Those skeleton soldiers were only level 5 and couldn't withstand the player's attacks. Under normal circumstances, with ranged attacks from mages and archers, as well as various area-of-effect skills, they would be quickly killed. However, with Li Hanqiang's defensive towers providing cover, these fragile skeleton warriors became incredibly difficult to deal with.

What's infuriating is that behind the skeletons is a reliable archer with extremely high attack power, constantly spawning new skeletons, making them almost like a necromancer.

The more these besieging players fought, the lower their morale became. Once they died, most of them became lazy and reluctant to charge back.

And so, gradually, Li Hanqiang found that he had actually stabilized the battle line.

"It seems that Fan, Ignite, and Dark Night Redemption have been a great help!" Li Hanqiang thought to himself, realizing that while the firepower of the defensive towers was important in the siege, the ability of the defending players to withstand attacks was also indispensable.

If they hadn't been fanned and set ablaze, they might not have been able to defend the city, but many of the lesser demons would certainly have been killed or wounded.

Just then, a small fireball flew past Li Hanqiang's ear.

Li Hanqiang looked closely and realized that the one who used the skill on him was actually Zhen Dejun.

"Everyone, charge! Charge! Rogues, stealth! Priests, apply buffs! Archers, don't stand still! Attack the defenders if you can, and attack the towers if you can't!"

As Zhen Dejun shouted, a group of priests surrounded him, healing him, including the A-list celebrity.

As he shouted, Zhen Dejun actually spun another small fireball at Li Hanqiang.

"Idiot, do you understand that I am the invincible city lord? I'll send you back to the city!" Li Hanqiang stood in mid-air, and with a thought, five sword energies slashed directly towards Zhen Dejun's direction, one after another, directly turning that area into an empty space.

Zhen Deqiang couldn't hold back any longer. He personally went into battle, riding a large horse with his attributes displayed, and charging forward with a large sword in hand, attracting a lot of attention.

"Follow me and charge! I'll hold them off from the front. You guys speed things up! I refuse to believe we can't cut down that paltry garrison!"

Zhen Deqiang shouted and led a group of his men forward in a surging advance.

It has to be said that Zhen Deqiang is quite skilled. He can perform serpentine maneuvers while riding a horse and can parry spear attacks with his broadsword. Li Hanqiang treated him like a BOSS and gave him the highest level of treatment: all the defense towers focused their fire on him!

Five sword towers and nine towers with visible spears and hidden arrows—these represent five sword energies and nine sets of visible spears and hidden arrows.

Zhen Deqiang was just a knight, and even riding a big horse, he couldn't defy the heavens. The damage numbers above his head piled up like a red cloud, and he turned into white light before he even had a chance to take medicine.

"Who else!"

Li Hanqiang, full of vigor, shouted loudly and threw two "folding umbrellas" on the ground. The folding umbrellas turned into signboard flags as soon as they landed, standing on the left and right sides of the war corridor, their flags unfurled.

The flag on the left reads: "How laughable is this tiny Emperor Group."

The flag on the right reads: "Beware of hidden arrows and open attacks."

Upon seeing the two flags, the players from the Emperor Guild immediately began to curse. More than a dozen of them rushed to the flags and attacked the flagpoles while shouting insults.

The signboard flag had limited durability and was quickly knocked down, but all the players also died under the bombardment of sword energy.

At the very back of the spacetime wormhole, Chun Sanyue, with her straight eyebrows, glared fiercely at Li Hanqiang.

He recognized the signboard; there used to be one in front of his own Chaos Heart, which had just been toppled less than half an hour ago.

"Li Hanqiang!" Chun Sanyue shouted at the top of her lungs, "You shameless scoundrel, you attacked my home! I will never forgive you!"

Li Hanqiang picked at his ear. It was too noisy at the scene, and he couldn't quite hear what Chun Sanyue was shouting. He didn't recognize Chun Sanyue either, and at first glance, he just thought of him as a small fry and ignored him completely.

He continued to control the defensive towers and kill enemies, but this time he went back to reinforce the rear.

Dark Night Redemption was too comfortable in the rear, while the two who were fanning and lighting the fire lay as still as old tortoises.

There are now hundreds of skeleton warriors, like a small army.

Li Hanqiang worked hard to coordinate with Dark Night Redemption, constantly letting low-health players slip back so that Dark Night Redemption could kill skeletons one by one with an arrow.

A moment later, even more skeleton warriors appeared. The Fan Knight and the Ignite Sword Saint moved forward a distance, and after a while, they stopped lying down and started walking forward standing up. The skeleton warriors lined up and confronted the attacking players head-on.

Zhen Deqiang led his team to charge several times, but it was completely useless. He couldn't stand up at all and was killed as soon as he showed his face, like cannon fodder.

Finally, the siege players' voices weakened, and after holding out for another ten minutes or so, no more siege players dared to emerge from the time-space wormhole. Meanwhile, the siege players' troop strength was decreasing in the siege data table, which proved that some players had begun to abandon the siege mission.

Next came the pure armored infantry defense, and the city defense suddenly became much more relaxed.

Li Hanqiang breathed a sigh of relief. So what if it's the Emperor Guild? Did they really think Chaos City was so easy to conquer? They've really lost big time this time.

"They're chickening out now, not coming to attack the city?"

"They won so easily!"

"How could we have let such a weak guild defend our respawn point? It's a disgrace!"

"I don't even need to lift a finger; I can defend the city just by lying down, hahaha!"

"Emperor Guild is truly a weak guild; Zhen Deqiang is really not strong..."

The two chatted happily, fanning each other on, making light of the situation with a flirtatious tone and reasoning with each other against the wind; they both understood the essence of the game perfectly.

At this very moment, in the Chaos City during the third month of spring, all was deathly silent.

No one spoke; the atmosphere was heavy.

The siege tunnel ahead still runs through the spacetime wormhole, but no one is going in anymore.

In the third month of spring, clutching her chest, she finally couldn't hold back any longer and roared, "Attack the city! Attack the city! Who the hell came up with this terrible idea? This is suicidal!"

Zhen Deqiang touched his nose; he was genuinely annoyed.

Seeing the furious Chun Sanyue, he felt a little embarrassed to speak, but changed the subject, saying, "Who could have expected that Li Qiang's defensive towers would be so strong? What kind of towers are those? I wonder where he got them. This time, he was careless and lost Jingzhou."

With a quick glance, Zhen Deqiang spotted the Divine Thief. His face darkened, and he shouted, "You talk a good game on paper, but in practice you're a complete rout! Divine Thief, I told you to gather information on the defensive towers in Li Hanqiang's base, and you didn't find out a single thing!"

The master thief, already trembling with fear, hurriedly said, "President, don't be angry. Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war!"

"It's common for me to beat you up. Come on, beat him up! This guy came up with the bad idea!" Zhen Deqiang shouted, venting his frustration on the Divine Thief.
