Chapter 154: Chapter 107: Shocking the Universe: One Man Defends Eight Cities

A second ago, Shen Fei’s scalp tingled. Throwing caution to the wind, he instantly summoned 200 Defense Towers. In a flash, they obliterated Yang City’s special Heart of the City.

This was because he had just watched the white-faced man explode!

The same white-faced man who had wanted to piss all over Yang City had shattered like glass. He didn’t even get a single word out. He just vanished without a trace.

What the fuck is going on?!

The first phase of capturing Yang City was a success, but Shen Fei’s mind still couldn’t process it.

This man had been incredibly powerful. A single attack from him could collapse half the wall of a small city. He had tanked on the front lines, fighting alongside Shen Fei, and helped him take down two medium-sized cities and five small ones.

And he just died like that!

Shen Fei didn’t even know his name!

Although he knew the man was mysterious, Shen Fei felt they had developed great synergy after fighting through the last few city sieges together. Moreover, with him tanking at the front, his own attacks felt much smoother.

In fact, Shen Fei had already decided that once the battle was over, he wasn’t going to let the white-faced man go easily. Even if it meant wasting the Mind Control Tower’s cooldown on him—a tower that could control people—he was still going to interrogate him thoroughly and find out where he came from.

But what Shen Fei never expected was that the man would just "GG."

The moment the Bronze Ancient Tree’s phantom lit up, a flash of light appeared out of nowhere, and he shattered like glass...

Shen Fei was utterly dumbfounded by the white-faced man’s demise. But what shocked him even more was that Yang City’s Heart of the City could unleash such immense power and insta-kill the man.

Shen Fei instantly understood. Even with his 50,000 health, his overall Defense Power was definitely not as high as the white-faced man’s.

Seeing the man get insta-killed, Shen Fei felt his hair stand on end in terror. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the maximum number of Defense Towers at once—200.

The moment the 200 Defense Towers appeared, he didn’t have time to summon another 200. Shen Fei immediately unleashed his strongest attack.

The good news was that the Bronze Ancient Tree was shattered in one fell swoop. He had finally succeeded, completing the first phase of battle for the large-scale city.

But there was bad news, too...

His 200 Defense Towers were now immobile! For the time being, these Defense Towers could only be placed on Yang City’s walls. Even after all his Tower Master equipment was inherited, he would still have 100 Defense Towers stationed on Yang City’s walls... At least, that was the case for the foreseeable future.

Celestial Punishment! Just how many special abilities does a large-scale city have?

Shen Fei recalled the two large characters that had appeared on the phantom of Yang City’s Bronze Ancient Tree when the white-faced man was insta-killed. Previously, the single character "Yu" had unleashed an endless flood. And when the two words "Celestial Punishment" appeared, the white-faced man was instantly obliterated.

Shen Fei understood. These were all fixed abilities inherent to the large-scale city of Yang City. He was also a little excited to see just how powerful this Ancient City’s Attributes would be once he fully captured it...

Letting out a long breath, a mix of joy, terror, and anticipation swirling within him, Shen Fei waved his hand. Instantly, the 200 Defense Towers he had just summoned appeared on Yang City’s walls.

Now, these 200 Defense Towers were fixed to Yang City’s walls, unable to move for the time being... unless he failed the second phase of the defense, which would allow him to retrieve the Defense Towers.

But that was impossible.

Whether it was because sealing Qing City’s Heaven-Reaching Tower required nine cities, or because he was now looking forward to seeing the Attributes of the colossal Yang City, there was no way he would just give up on its defense.

Should I bring out my Floating Island next week? And then mount all my remaining Defense Towers on it? Let the Floating Island follow me around and obliterate everything?

As he took a deep breath to compose himself, a thought surfaced in Shen Fei’s mind.

He was very strong. An attack from his 200 Defense Towers could obliterate the Heart of a City in one go. If he could deploy all 612 of his Defense Towers, he would be absolutely unstoppable; nothing could stand in his way.

However, the process of inheriting his abilities wasn’t over yet. His Defense Towers were powerful, but he couldn’t deploy all of them.

Shen Fei’s original plan was to place all his Defense Towers on the Floating Island and then pilot the Floating Island, moving it wherever he needed. But in his panic just now, he had involuntarily placed 200 of them on Yang City.

Shen Fei pondered whether he should bring out the Floating Island ahead of schedule...

I’ll table that for now...

Two seconds later, Shen Fei reined in his thoughts. No matter what, the priority was to get through the upcoming defenses of the eight cities.

As his game abilities continued to be inherited, he believed that the deployed Defense Towers would definitely be movable again. After all, he had accumulated quite a few super items. For example, the [Limit-Breaking] item and the [Uniqueness] item... He could even trade his super items for other useful things people might have.

Besides, placing the Defense Towers on Yang City wasn’t really a loss. Until the Floating Island was inherited, Yang City was basically his main city. So placing Defense Towers there was reasonable.

I have a quota of 100 Defense Towers that can be moved freely...

Pushing the thought aside, Shen Fei quickly considered his next move. The second phase for that small-sized city would begin in less than ten minutes. He had to start planning immediately.

Yang City had 200 Defense Towers for its defense, and it seemed impossible to add any more for now. What he had to worry about were the other seven cities. He had to carefully allocate his 100 mobile Defense Towers across the seven—no, including the defense of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, it was eight defensive points.

SWOOSH!

After a few seconds of rapid thought, Shen Fei’s will shifted. He returned to Qing City.

"Everyone in the Heaven-Reaching Gang except Yu! With me!"

"No live streaming!"

"No pictures!"

Without another word, Shen Fei, back in Qing City, gathered his eight hundred comrades from the Heaven-Reaching Gang.

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

Using the ten Teleportation Gates, Shen Fei quickly began to distribute his forces.

To the large-scale city, Yang City, he dispatched 200 Tower Masters from the Heaven-Reaching Gang and had them deploy all of their Defense Towers.

To the two medium-sized cities, he dispatched 100 Heaven-Reaching Gang Tower Masters to each.

To the five small-sized cities, he also dispatched 100 Tower Masters to each.

As for who would stand guard by the Heaven-Reaching Tower in Qing City, he assigned a team led by Sun Yu, which included Wang Dapang and Li Yunlong.

As the members of the Heaven-Reaching Gang watched, dumbfounded, Shen Fei ordered them to deploy all of their Defense Towers. Shen Fei would be the main force in the coming defense. These assigned Heaven-Reaching Gang members were all to act as his support. After an hour-long cooldown, the auxiliary-type Defense Towers of the Heaven-Reaching Gang members were all ready again.

. . .

"Holy crap!"

"Holy crap!"

"HOLY CRAP!!"

"Is he for real?!"

"Is he really this invincible?"

Shen Fei used the Teleportation Gates to move rapidly from one city wall to another, adjusting the placement of the Defense Towers. Meanwhile, the members of the Heaven-Reaching Gang, now understanding what Shen Fei was doing, were completely stunned.

As the first team in the Xia Country to capture a Neutral City, they were already very proud. Although there was all sorts of trash talk on the Forum, they, who had actually experienced it, knew their achievements were real. They just had to release the proof, and everyone would change their tune.

But what none of them had expected was that, after capturing one small-sized city, Shen Fei would immediately trigger the defense battles for eight cities all at once.

Never mind the fact that in such a short amount of time, Shen Fei had single-handedly cleared the first phase for eight cities, including one large-scale and two medium-sized ones. Just the sheer audacity of starting eight defensive waves at once was something none of them had ever even imagined.

Previously, they had been envious when they saw on the Forum that the Immortal Emperor was attacking a large-scale city and the Tourism Management Office headquarters was attacking a medium-sized one. They too had been looking forward to Shen Fei leading them to conquer medium and large-scale cities. But they never imagined he would be this intense, tackling large and medium-sized cities all in one go.

It was a good thing Shen Fei had just stressed no live streaming and no pictures. Otherwise, many of the members who loved to post online would already be bragging their heads off.

Forget about whether we can defend them or not, just look at us, taking on eight cities at once! Who has the balls to do that! How badass is that?

More importantly, all eight of our cities have already cleared the first phase! Now, as soon as the second phase of the defense is over, we’ll have truly and completely captured them all!

The members of the Heaven-Reaching Gang, deployed by Shen Fei, were all fired up with soaring morale. With the Teleportation Gates at their disposal, they weren’t worried about being killed if a defense failed. And as Tower Masters, Shen Fei had just told them there was no need to hold back at all. They could unleash every bit of strength they had.

Everyone was incredibly excited! Quite a few were even eagerly rubbing their hands together, ready to bring out their previously hidden Defense Towers and give their comrades a good shock.

Defending eight cities at once! Everyone was unbelievably excited. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

If there were a morale meter right now, the morale of the Heaven-Reaching Gang members would be absolutely off the charts. In fact, it would be *super* off the charts!

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

Time flew by.

Soon, the preparation time for the first small-sized city was up...

[DING!]

[The one-hour preparation time has ended!]

[The second phase of the defensive battle has begun!]

[Defense Objective: Before 99% of the attacking NPCs are eliminated, the Heart of the City must not be destroyed!]

. . .

The panels for Shen Fei and the 100 Heaven-Reaching Gang members guarding the first city automatically opened. As the text scrolled, an endless horde of monsters charged forth from four directions in the distance once more.

"KILL!!!!"

The war began. Without a word, Shen Fei unleashed the attack of his Magnetic Storm Coil Defense Tower.

The first small-sized city was a technology-type city, spawning an endless stream of drones, robots, and unmanned siege weapons. The [Magnetic Storm Coil Defense Tower], which could cause electromagnetic diffraction, was Shen Fei’s main Defense Tower for this particular defense.

"KILL!!"

Following Shen Fei’s roar, the 100 members of the Heaven-Reaching Gang no longer held anything back. With all their Defense Towers deployed, they also launched their attacks swiftly.

Led by Shen Fei’s ten Tenth-Tier Defense Towers, spearheaded by the [Magnetic Storm Coil Defense Tower], everyone attacked without restraint.

Instantly, the battlefield erupted with endless explosions. All sorts of drones, self-propelled artillery, and more were being rapidly wiped out.

SWOOSH!

After assigning a commander from the Heaven-Reaching Gang for the first city and setting his Defense Towers to auto-attack, Shen Fei’s figure blurred, and he arrived at the second city.

The preparation time for the second city had also ended.

[DING!]

[The one-hour preparation time has ended!]

[The second phase of the defensive battle has begun!]

[Defense Objective: Before 99% of the attacking NPCs are eliminated, the Heart of the City must not be destroyed!]

. . .

As soon as he arrived at the second city, Shen Fei’s panel opened again. The second city had started spawning monsters as well...
