"Let's go back. A new round of monster siege will begin soon." Su Yu looked at the Merck father and daughter.
"Okay, thank you Lord for helping us improve our level!" Merk was very grateful.
Mok originally thought that Su Yu was doing something bad by taking his daughter into the forest.
Seeing that Su Yu sincerely helped them improve their level, Mo Ke felt very ashamed. He should not have doubted the lord.
"You're welcome. This is what I should do. If you really want to thank me, just perform well in the monster siege later." Su Yu waved his hand.
Another advantage of bringing Merck and Cathy to level 30 is that after they are promoted to level 2, their attributes are already higher than those of the BOSS in the monster siege.
The two of them can be a great help in the upcoming monster siege.
"We will work hard!" Merck promised loudly.
...
Su Yu took Merck and his daughter back to Upxi Town.
Just after arriving at the entrance of the town, Su Yu received a game announcement about the next monster siege.
However, the style of "Monster Siege" this time is obviously different from the previous ones.
The announcement this time is:
"[Apuxi Town] has a population of 1,200 and has been successfully promoted to a [medium-sized town]. The affluent life in the town has attracted the covetousness of surrounding bandits. In 30 minutes, these bandits will attack Apushi Village, please pay attention to defense.
"
"The average level of the bandits in this attack is [20], other information is unknown. The countdown starts at 29:57."
Seeing the announcement, Su Yu couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Why did it become a "bandit attack"?
According to the upgrading rules of the territory in the previous life, monsters attacked the city in the early stages of upgrading the territory, and bandits attacks will only occur when the territory is promoted to the [County City] stage.
Unexpectedly, the bandit attack appeared in advance!
Bandit attacks are much more difficult than monster sieges. After all, monster sieges deal with silly monsters, while bandit attacks deal with ghostly bandits, and the nature of the enemies are different.
Range is Truth obviously also saw the game announcement, and quickly sent a private message: "Mr. Ke, have you seen the game announcement?"
Su Yu: "Of course I saw it. According to my guess, the bandit attack was caused by the lord of Oran City. I have offended him before."
Range is truth: "Then should we change our strategy for dealing with the enemy?"
Su Yu: "Of course we have to change it. Let's do this. You lead the elite group to station on the east and west sides of the town, and leave the north side to me."
Range is the truth: "Leave it to you? You want to defend it alone again? But this time the attackers are bandits, and they are level 20. Can you really defend it alone?"
Su Yu: "Don't worry! And next time I won't be the only one guarding, I will have two more helpers."
Range is truth: "Okay then, respect your decision."
After the decision was made, relevant departments began to gather at the city walls of the town to carry out pre-war preparations.
...
Half an hour later, the fifth monster...to be precise, the first bandit attack officially began.
After the countdown ended, the bandits filled the mountains and fields and rushed out of the woods in a menacing manner.
They raised their long knives and roared fiercely.
And the bandits were quite well prepared.
For the sake of siege, they not only had warriors holding huge shields in front to resist spell arrows, but there were even a large number of [catapults], magicians, and archers in the back row.
[Catapult] throws huge rocks burning with blazing flames and smashes them into the dense formation of relevant departments. Each hit can throw out dozens of white lights.
The bandit magician's range spells and the bandit archer's arrows fall one after another, which can also arouse large areas of white light.
As soon as the battle started, it was discovered that our long-range firepower was inferior to that of the enemy.
If this continues for a long time, they will be completely wiped out under the cover of enemy fire.
So he issued an order: "Charge the entire army!"
"Come on!"
The soldiers shouted slogans, rushed forward one after another, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
After the hand-to-hand combat began, the bandits' long-range firepower lost its effectiveness. The relevant departments relied on their advantages in equipment, technology, and coordination to gain the upper hand.
The bandit troops were also completely eliminated bit by bit with the help of elite groups from relevant departments.
…
As for the north side of the town, the battlefield where Su Yu was located was not interesting.
For Su Yu, killing these level 20 bandits is not much different from killing level 14 monsters. With his level 11 suppression of bandits, only a quarter of the group spell power is enough to kill these bandits in seconds.
.
Therefore, under the large area of area spell coverage, these bandits fell in droves, causing almost no hindrance to him.
Moreover, Su Yu also controlled the damage accurately, using area-of-effect spells to beat each bandit down to only a trace of blood, and then let Merk and Cathy do the finishing touches.
Merck and Cathy benefited greatly.
They each used their own group attack skills to kill the remaining bloodthirsty bandits, and their experience points increased step by step!
By the end of the battle, after they had killed more than 700 bandits, both of them had been promoted to level 5, reaching level 35.
"Thank you, Lord!" After the battle, Merk knelt down towards Su Yu with his sword in hand. He was really grateful.
"You're welcome. As the old saying goes, this is what I should do." Su Yu didn't take it seriously.
"But now is not the time for you to rest." Su Yu looked at Merck and Cathy: "I'm going to take you to a place later, so be prepared."
"Lord, where are we going?" Cathy asked cautiously.
"The place we are going to is the [Scholar Temple] in Plantagenet City. Cathy, you can learn some new ice skills there." Su Yu rubbed the little Loli's head.
Then he looked at Merck: "Merk, you can also go to the Warriors Guild in Plantagenet City to learn new skills. After you learn the skills, I will take you to the market in Plantagenet City to buy you a set of second-level equipment."
In fact, Su Yu didn't go to the [Scholar's Temple] just to learn skills. He wanted to use his connections in the [Scholar's Temple] to call in a group of reinforcements, which might be of great use in key battles in the future.
It was only incidental to take Merck and his daughter to buy equipment and learn skills.
But Merk and his daughter were very excited. Merk said excitedly: "Thank you Lord Lord for doing so much for us. I don't even know how to repay you!"
"If you want to repay me, just marry your daughter to me." Su Yu said with a smile: "From now on, you call me brother, and I call you dad, and we can have our own affairs."
Merck's face instantly stiffened: "???!!!"
"You're kidding!" Su Yu smiled and patted his shoulder: "I will go back to the territory to deal with personal matters first. I will inform you later, and then we will go to Plantagenet City together."
After saying that, Su Yu activated the hearthstone and left the place.
...
After the bandit attack was over, the elite group from the relevant departments left Su Yu's territory without staying much like last time.
Range is the Truth, just like last time, he returned to the town and found Su Yu.
"How are the casualties this time?" Su Yu greeted him immediately when he saw him in the central square of the town.
"Alas, there were heavy casualties this time!" Sheiqi Zhizhi said with a wry smile: "A total of 327 people were lost this time, and almost half of the members were lost in it before we barely won."
Range is the truth. Obviously, they did not expect that the difficulty of this siege would be so high. The last time they attacked the city with level 20 monsters, they only lost a dozen people, but this time they actually lost more than 300 people!
Bandits are indeed much more difficult to deal with than pure wild monsters!
