The reserve players formed neat formations and returned to the city for repairs. Afterwards, they rushed to the west city gate without delay.
They were too engrossed in the battle and almost forgot about another battlefield here.
A significant number of the reserve players had obtained divine stones from the divine city during the recent battle. These individuals used these stones to exchange for attribute points, leading to a rapid surge in their strength.
With two million troops from the divine city’s legion, plus the opportunistic ghost tribe, Fengle City was simultaneously facing attacks from four factions.
However, Ye Yun was unconcerned. These individuals would not be able to enter the city anyway.
After casting a few skills, Ye Yun retreated from the city wall and entered the Qitian Tower.
Fengle City (Main City):
Area: 19578 square kilometers
...
City Evolution Count: 149
Building Upgrade Count: 2
Resources: Divine Stones * 1923, Dark Stones * 198324, Demon Immortal Stones * 128461, Demonic Origin Stones * 5611...
Fiscal Funds: 106.5 billion
...
Unfortunately, the evolution count was still a bit short.
Ye Yun had not forgotten that one of the conditions for his Sword Immortal legacy quest was to expand Fengle City's area by more than double. To expand the area again required an evolution count of 256 points, and he currently did not have enough. What was more frustrating was that he had no idea how to acquire these points.
The building upgrade count was something he obtained from an infinite quest in this game, granting him one building upgrade count every ten days. Over a month had passed, and he had used one previously. Now he had accumulated two more, but Ye Yun had yet to use them.
"Exchange all the resources in Fengle City for gold coins!"
Ye Yun had not expected such a terrifying amount of resources to accumulate in such a short time. Although more than half of these resources had already entered Ye Yun's possession, he had not yet retrieved them from his mailbox.
However, these resources indicated that the divine city’s joint army’s attack on Fengle City had resulted in a higher kill count for the city defense buildings. The quantities of Dark Stones and Demon Immortal Stones showed that the number killed by his four thousand Dragon Palace members was less than half of that.
"System Prompt: All resources in Fengle City have been exchanged for gold coins, totaling 3964 trillion fiscal funds."
"Upgrade the Archer Towers!" Ye Yun did not hesitate and directly upgraded the city defense buildings. Originally, with the attack power of Archer Towers, Cannon Towers, and Lightning Towers at level 40, they were capable of instantly killing everything. However, Ye Yun never expected these enemies to devise such an invincible formation!
With a five-fold defense boost, the divine cities’ forces, with their enhanced attributes, would be unstoppable.
Moreover, Ye Yun had some understanding of the Divine Realm. While the allied forces here could be considered the main force, they were not the elite troops.
Therefore, as a precaution, Ye Yun prioritized upgrading the city defense buildings like Archer Towers. Although these over three thousand trillion gold coins could only upgrade a few, every upgrade counted.
After upgrading the four Archer Towers to level forty-one, Ye Yun used his two building upgrade counts to directly raise the Human King City Crossbow to level 27!
Human King City Crossbow (Special City Defense Building)
Level: 27
Attack: 254178e
Durability: 762534e
Attack Speed: 0.5 seconds
Current Energy Crossbow Bolts: 48038/145800 (Recovery Speed: 10 bolts per second)
Growth Base: 3.0
Attack Range: 4878km
Function: ...
After two consecutive level-ups, the functions remained unchanged, but the Human King City Crossbow’s attributes had seen a terrifying improvement! Most importantly, the maximum storage capacity for energy crossbow bolts had surpassed the hundred thousand mark.
This meant that even with continuous firing at full capacity, it could sustain for a considerable period.
However, Ye Yun's visit to Qitian Tower was not solely for upgrading city defense buildings; he had a more crucial objective.
"As the City Lord of Fengle City, I apply to attack the Ghost Tribe's main city!"
"System Prompt: Identity confirmed. Please select the Ghost Tribe main city you wish to attack, City Lord."
A mechanical prompt sounded, and the massive screen rapidly shrank, transforming into a vast map.
On this map, besides two green dots representing the human race’s main cities, all the rest were red dots, signifying the Ghost Tribe's main cities.
Ye Yun quickly located Fengle City and directly selected an adjacent red dot.
Soon, a city-wide announcement echoed.
"Fengle City Announcement: City Lord 'Jie Ming' has applied to declare war on the Ghost Tribe's main city 'Da Yao City'. All players in Fengle City are requested to prepare for conscription by the City Lord. This siege will commence officially at 8 AM next Monday, with a duration of 5 hours."
Upon hearing the announcement, all players were stunned, especially the leaders of large factions and organizations. They were not ignorant like the common folk.
"Has this Dragon Palace Master gone mad? The city's east side is under attack by unknown forces daily, and the ghost tribe to the west is also a constant threat. In this situation, instead of reinforcing defenses, he wants to expand the war? This..."
"Fengle City better not be mishandled. There are only two main cities left for the human race."
"What is this City Lord thinking? Since the ghost tribe invaded, he has not allowed our factions to participate in any offensive or defensive battles. With the battlefield he is expanding, can he handle it?"
...
The high-ranking officials of various factions gathered in a tavern. Their calm deductions about the strength of the enemy forces attacking the east of the city were instantly disrupted by this announcement, and they became agitated.
Although Ye Yun was the City Lord, this city was humanity's last stronghold, especially for the people of China.
"They can attack us every day, why can't we attack them?"
