Chapter 155: Chapter 108: All Bosses Emerge, Spread Too Thin

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

On each of the five small cities and two medium-sized cities, he had set up ten Defense Towers. Shen Fei teleported rapidly from one Neutral City to the next. Earlier, with the help of the white-faced man, he had quickly conquered the small and medium-sized cities. As a result, the second phase for these seven cities was beginning one after another. A commander was assigned to each Neutral City, and Shen Fei fought while swiftly communicating with all seven of them.

Fortunately, he now had the special Teleportation Gate Towers. Although there were many bosses, his movement was incredibly convenient. He could move to a target city in an instant!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

While constantly adjusting his Defense Towers’ auto-attacks, Shen Fei also remained vigilant for any sudden developments. Having already gained city defense experience from [Peter’s Castle], he knew that the main threat to watch out for was the siege bosses. Although the ordinary mobs were extremely numerous, a dense, overwhelming tide, they couldn’t cause any major trouble against a Tower Master’s Defense Towers. The bosses, however, were a different story...

"Bro! The intensity has ramped up again!"

As he moved rapidly, Shen Fei received a message from Sun Yu. Sun Yu, tasked with reporting on the Heaven-Reaching Tower, informed him that the intensity of the monster tide had risen once more.

WHOOSH~

Hearing Sun Yu’s warning, Shen Fei teleported back to Qing City, where he had placed twenty Defense Towers. His towers formed the core of the defense, supplemented by Sun Yu’s 500. The others coordinated with them, focusing all their defensive power on the monster tide pouring out of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The intensity of the Heaven-Reaching Tower’s monster tide increased every ten minutes. By now, over an hour had passed. The monsters’ strength, having increased exponentially, was now nearly a hundred times greater. Everyone participating in the defense had noticed this. Moreover, despite this long period of mindless monster grinding, the monsters showed no signs of stopping. Instead, the more they killed, the stronger the creatures became.

A shadow of dread fell over the hearts of all the defenders, including Li Yunlong. The gradually strengthening monsters caused the joy they had felt from hearing about the captured Neutral Cities to vanish. Completely immersed in the battle, the defenders didn’t even have time to ask Shen Fei where the Heaven-Reaching Gang members had gone. They knew Shen Fei had called them away earlier but hadn’t had a chance to ask why. If it weren’t for the fact that they could still see Shen Fei’s Defense Towers and that his family was also helping fight the monster tide, many of the more cynical people might have even suspected that Shen Fei had taken the Heaven-Reaching Gang and fled.

"Bro! It’s fine, I’m watching it! You go handle things over there!"

The only one who knew what Shen Fei and the Heaven-Reaching Gang were doing was Sun Yu. All the Heaven-Reaching Gang members who had come to Qing City had been added to a new group chat, and Sun Yu was in it as well. Right now, all sorts of pictures were being posted in the chat as everyone exchanged information. Shen Fei had forbidden them from posting photos on the Forum, but he didn’t stop them from doing so in the QQ group chat, which consisted only of their own people. After all, they needed to use the QQ group to share information and learn from one another.

"Okay! Keep me updated on any developments!"

Shen Fei nodded at Sun Yu and left again. The primary challenge was indeed defending the cities. Only when all eight cities were successfully defended could the Heaven-Reaching Tower, which was endlessly spawning monsters, be sealed.

WHOOSH~

With a shift in his vision, Shen Fei teleported onto the walls of Yang City.

"Ten minutes left!"

Because the siege of Yang City had taken longer, its second phase had also started later. Seeing Shen Fei appear, Gun’Er, the Heaven-Reaching Gang member in charge of general affairs, quickly walked over. With the dawn of this chaotic era, Gun’Er, a former streamer, felt incredibly fortunate to have truly latched onto a powerful patron. Shen Fei was their pillar of support.

"Good! This location is the most critical!"

He clapped Gun’Er on the shoulder, glanced at his 200 Tenth-Tier Defense Towers on Yang City’s walls, and with another WHOOSH, he was gone again. Having to defend nine cities at once, Shen Fei couldn’t stay in any single one for too long.

WHOOSH~

Teleporting back to the first city, Shen Fei raised his hand and saw that the sky was just beginning to brighten. Since the second wave of inheritance and the arrival of the Neutral Cities a few hours ago, they had been busy for almost the entire night. Now, the sky was starting to lighten. This was a good thing for Shen Fei and the others. After all, with daylight, their visibility would improve. Shen Fei had Defense Towers that could provide light, but not enough for eight different locations. Daylight enhanced everyone’s vision.

"Here they come!" a sudden shout came from the commander of the first city.

Turning his head, Shen Fei saw ten giant robots, thirty to fifty meters tall, emerging from the monster-spawning Teleportation Gate.

Bosses!

On a battlefield already filled with drones, robots, cannons, and mechanical beasts, ten Gundam-like, technology-type bosses appeared. Some had massive electromagnetic cannons for arms. Some had a huge missile launcher on their back. Some, like Transformers, were crouched on the ground. Others were like octopuses, with countless metal tentacles covering their bodies. Of the ten powerful bosses, no two were alike.

ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!

Seeing the bosses appear, Shen Fei’s electromagnetic interference cannon Defense Towers, which had been on alert, immediately opened fire. With eight cities to protect, Shen Fei knew his objective was to eliminate the newly appeared bosses as quickly as possible. The Heaven-Reaching Gang members’ Defense Towers were still too low-level. Even if a few of them had Tenth-Tier Defense Towers, the number was extremely small. When it came to fighting bosses, they had to rely on him.

BOOM!

The electromagnetic cannon Defense Towers lying in wait at the Technology City fired directly at a charging boss.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The electromagnetic barrier net created by the cannons enveloped the lead boss. Then, all ten of Shen Fei’s Defense Towers turned and fired on the boss, whose rhythm had been disrupted by the electromagnetic net. At the same time, the others also deployed all their Defense Towers specialized for dealing with bosses.

CRACK!

Countless attacks converged on the boss. Amidst a massive explosion, it was blown to smithereens.

"City 1, boss kill +1!" someone immediately posted in the QQ group chat.

BOOM!

But before the defenders of Technology City No. 1 could cheer, a boss with ring-shaped electromagnetic cannons for arms suddenly raised them and fired a thick energy wave directly at the city wall. With a loud CRACK, the wall, which had been at full health, instantly lost one-fifth of its HP. The vibration from the impact even caused many people standing on the wall to fall to the ground.

"Kill!"

Focusing fire to instantly kill a boss was no problem, but there were ten of them that had to be killed one by one. While they were insta-killing the first one, the other bosses’ attacks had already arrived. The supporting Tower Masters nearby quickly applied buffs and reduced the cooldowns for the ten Defense Towers that had just fired. With a RUMBLE, countless earthen walls rose, blocking the path of every boss.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The moment the tall earthen walls appeared, they were blasted to pieces. But it had managed to attract the bosses’ attention.

BOOM!

Shen Fei’s ten Defense Towers fired a second volley.

CRACK!

Another boss was instantly shattered.

"Not good! Air force!" someone suddenly cried out in alarm just as everyone’s eyes fixed on the third boss.

They saw that two of the bosses had suddenly transformed, assuming helicopter-like forms. They took to the sky and rapidly swooped in from above. As they flew, they launched missiles from the air.

CLANG!

A dozen missiles arrived in an instant. Left with no choice, Shen Fei immediately used his [Soldier] chess pieces.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The two [Soldier] pieces merged, increasing their Defense Power a hundredfold. A massive Golden Shield blocked the flying bosses’ missile attack.

BOOM! BOOM!

At the same time, the players responsible for targeting placed attack beacons on the two flying bosses. Then, a massive barrage of attacks, including from Shen Fei’s ten Defense Towers, was unleashed on the beacons.

CRACK! CRACK!

The two flying Large Aircraft were directly blasted into pieces.

WHIRRR! WHIRRR! WHIRRR!

With the aerial threats eliminated, another change occurred on the ground. One of the robot bosses dropped down and transformed into a massive, rampaging assault vehicle. Its armor was so thick that normal attacks felt like they were just tickling it.

CLANG!

Faced with this situation, Shen Fei had no choice but to deploy his most reliable vine Defense Tower. Instantly, steel cable-like vines shot out, launching the rampaging boss into the air!

"Bro! Bosses have spawned at City 2!"

"Bro! Bosses have spawned at City 3!"

"Bro! City 4..."

Before the airborne boss could be finished off, cries for help erupted in the QQ group chat. The main challenge had arrived! Bosses were spawning one after another in every city.

And Shen Fei had no ability to clone himself.
