Chapter 3 - Players Who Defend The City

It had to be said that the transfer speed of the Little Black Pigs was very slow. One could see that they could only move about half a meter per second. The first Little Black Pig took five minutes to enter the shooting range of the Basic Arrow Tower.

With a swishing sound, an arrow the length of a javelin shot from the Arrow Tower. Two hundred meters away, the fastest-moving Little Black Pig screamed and was directly crucified on the ground!

Dead in seconds!

That was just the beginning. As more Little Black Pigs entered its shooting range, the Arrow Tower switched itself on to its full power. Swish, swish, swish… Sharp arrows were shot continuously, impaling one pig per arrow without missing a shot.

The Arrow Tower was like a machine gun as the Little Black Pigs had low HP, low protection, and moved very slowly. They quickly fell down like wheat stalks being harvested and disappeared as the game refreshed.

"The Arrow Tower is invincible!" Li Hanqiang laughed, his arms crossed.

Dark Redemption's eyes went round in amazement and said, "Oh my god, this is such a powerful Arrow Tower."

His job was a Dark Ranger and his primary weapons were a bow and arrows. However, he could only shoot at a range of about 40 to 50 meters with his best efforts. As the speed of his attacks were also super slow, there was no chance of comparison for him against the Arrow Tower.

Li Hanqiang quickly calmed down and observed the Arrow Tower as he realized that he could directly control the Arrow Tower. Even though the Arrow Tower was currently in free attack mode, he could still choose a different target of attack at any moment or stop the Arrow Tower's attack at any time.

Li Hanqiang could even make the Arrow Tower attack the players!

This all depended on his own thoughts.

Of course, in the current situation, he had no reason to interfere with the Arrow Tower. Allowing it to attack freely would maximize its efficiency of killing the enemy.

Despite that, there was still only one Arrow Tower and too many Little Black Pigs. The little pigs were endless and the tower was failing to hit some of them. Soon, there were a few little pigs that begun moving forward.

Dark Redemption's spirit was lifted as he saw a Little Black Pig enter his range of attack.

"Kill the monsters!"

He arched his bow and shot an arrow impatiently. An enchanted magic arrow surrounded by black mist flew out and fell on the War Corridor with a 'Ding' sound. He had missed a shot!

He failed on his first attempt!

This did not discourage Dark Redemption, however. He merely laughed and attacked again. This time, the second magic arrow hit the target and caused 6 damage points.

Soon, the third and fourth arrows followed…

Dark Redemption's attacks were very steady as each arrow caused a total of 6 damage points. His accuracy was also decent as he could hit the same Little Black Pig with every shot.

Soon, one Little Black Pig was shot to death 30 meters away. A black light flashed from its body and a Level 1, Small Humanoid Skeleton stood up!

The Little Skeleton trembled and was only 1.2 to 1.3 meters tall. It looked weak but it soon started to attack the Little Black Pig beside it with the bone blades in its hands, standing on the War Corridor.

Bizarrely, the Little Black Pigs completely ignored the Little Skeleton's actions and accepted its attacks.

Despite that, the attack power of the Little Skeleton was terrible and could only cause about 1 damage point per attack.

Fanning Knight and First-Class Star were growing impatient as they saw the Little Black Pigs heading towards them but were unable to attack as they could not leave their respective Chaotic Stone Slabs. 

"What is going on? I'm a warrior and I need to be able to carry out close combat. How do I attack them without leaving the Chaotic Stone Slab? Do I only wait for the Little Black Pigs to approach? Stupid f*cker!"

"I'm a cleric, how should I fight?"

Both of them started to complain as they looked at Dark Redemption in envy.

Dark Redemption was in a state of euphoria as he only focused on attacking brainlessly. In just a few seconds, he shot another Little Black Pig to death which was followed by the appearance of a second Little Skeleton.

The Little Black Pigs completely ignored the players on the Chaotic Stone Slabs as they continued moving forward. Dark Redemption immediately realized that if this was what the 'monster attacks on the city' had meant, then this would be a good way for him to gain experience!

After seeing that Dark Redemption had successfully killed two Little Black Pigs, Fanning Knight who was unable to attack anything began to grow angry. He pointed at Li Hanqiang and asked, "What kind of stupid setting is this that does not allow melee players to get involved? Give me an explanation!"

"I'll give you a hammer!" Li Hanqiang pretended to be deaf to his words as he looked at Dark Redemption, interested in his strong skills.

First-Class Star also looked at Dark Redemption with shining eyes and suddenly shouted, "Handsome brother, how are you so powerful? What skills are you using? You can even summon small skeletons!"

Dark Redemption laughed while shooting arrows and said, "Of course I am great! My job is a legendary profession and this skill of mine is known as the 'Dark Arrows'. Not only does it come with an increase in attack power, but it can also be used to summon small skeletons from the corpses of monsters that I have killed. Hahahaha!"

While he spoke, a third Little Skeleton had appeared from his attack.

"Wow, I've met a big shot. Let's add each other as friends. Please carry me as your little sister!" First-Class Star said, smiling sweetly.

"Of course, that would be great!" Dark Redemption nodded continuously.

"What is so amazing about legendary professions? I, your brother, can get more than 6 attack points with just a normal attack!" Fanning Knight gritted his teeth in anger. At that instant, he had successfully managed to wait for a Little Black Pig that was passing by the side of the road and started attacking it like he was crazy.

Swish swish swish! A Little Black Pig with 30 HP instantly lost all it all and died on the spot.

Although Fanning Knight had no powerful skills and was just blindly attack, the long knife in his hand seemed to be quite powerful. The maximum damage of a single attack was around 8 attack points!

"See? This is my attack power!" Fanning Knight flaunted at First-Class Star that was next to him.

"How many can you manage to attack!" First Class Star rolled her eyes at Fanning Knight and as she continued to work her way closer to Dark Redemption.

Fanning Knight choked.

Was that not that right?

Looking at the current situation, more than 90% of the Little Black Pigs were being felled by the Basic Arrow Tower. Dark Redemption would then pick up any little pigs that had been missed as he had a ranged job and the advantages of it. With a powerful skill like the Dark Arrows, how many fishes that escaped the net would actually pass by the side of the road for him to attack?

Sure enough, Fanning Knight waited for two minutes before managing to hit his second Little Black Pig. By then, Dark Redemption had already formed an entire army of Little Skeletons. The row of Little Skeletons strutted around and jammed the road. Was this not blocking his road to fortune?

Fanning Knight, failing to kill any more monsters, became increasingly unhappy and started to take it out on Li Hanqiang. He shouted, "Stop the damn Arrow Tower from attacking. Let some monsters through so that I can fight them!"

'Fight your watermelon!' Li Hanqiang ignored him once again. Suddenly, a golden light flashed from Dark Redemption's body. He had just leveled up!

'Oh wow, this is a very fast way to gain experience points!' Dark Redemption was very proud of himself in secret. This was because leveling up would increase his attributes, which meant that his attack power and speed of killing would increase too.

After a moment, there were more than a hundred Little Skeletons that Dark Redemption had created. At this point, he did not need to carry out any more attacks. As the Little Black Pigs moved forward, the Little Skeletons swarmed over and killed them with chaotic knife attacks. With this, Dark Redemption only needed to stay still and receive his experience. In a flash, he reached Level 4!

Fanning Knight had no monsters to kill at all as the Little Black Pigs could not even reach 20 meters of where he was. First-Class Star also pretended not to recognize him as she started flirting with Dark Redemption.

Fanning Knight felt like he had been abandoned by the world. He looked at Li Hanqiang who was silent and started to complain. "This task of city defense is really unfair to melee players. I'm really unlucky, spending money just to waste time here."

Li Hanqiang looked at him and said, "Brother, don't be angry. If you come again the next time, I will arrange for you to be at the Stone Slab right up the front to ensure that you can attack monsters."

"Huh?" Fanning Knight quickly waved his hand. "If I come here again, I would be a dog!"

Concurrently, a blast of light suddenly burst from the Space-Time Wormhole and the regional announcement sounded. 

[May the players pay attention, a special monster has appeared among the monsters who are attacking the city. The special monster has special capabilities. Hence, those who successfully kill the special monster will receive a huge reward. The special monster will also do more damage to the Chaos' Core.]

  1. Fishes that escaped the net is a Chinese idiom and the original term in Chinese is [漏网之鱼]. The meaning of this idiom is to prevent anyone from escaping.
  2. This is a Chinese idiom [耀武扬威] that means to show off one's military strength. In order to better fit into the context and represent the meaning of the author, the translator used the term 'strutted around', which is also a correct representation of the original Chinese idiom.
