Chapter 28: Collective Great Upgrade

  After clearing one side of the city wall, Xiao Yu and Jian Sheng worked together in shifts. Jian Sheng went directly to the other side of the city wall to continue cleaning, while Xiao Yu went to open the city gate. At the same time, he had already signaled the beastman infantry and human infantry below to quickly reach the position at the gate.

  With the help of Gale Step's stealth, Xiao Yu easily arrived at the gate and looked at the huge door plug. Xiao Yu curled his lips in disdain, fortunately he had now reached level 5, his basic attributes had increased significantly, if it were before, such a large door plug he couldn't even lift directly.

  And it's not one door plug, but two, one on top and one at the bottom.

  Xiao Yu stepped on a prepared ladder beside her, removed the two door inserts, and then slowly opened the thick and solid large door.

  "What's going on up there? Why have all the torches gone out?" Just then, a shout pierced through the silent night sky.

  At this time, Tailande had already entered through the gate and with a gesture from Xiao Yu, directly shot an arrow through the guy's throat.

  Having shouted this, the several sentries on the other side of the city wall who had not yet completely cleared up sensed it, but they did not expect an enemy raid and all just shouted a sentence, "What's going on?"

  However, what greeted them was the cold light of the Sword Saint.

  A few mournful cries, and the sentinels were all cleared away. At this time, some patrolling soldiers inside the city heard the mournful cry and gradually discovered that something was wrong, and they began to beat the bronze drums to sound the alarm.

  Xiao Yu quickly commanded the troops behind him to come over and occupy the advantageous terrain, preparing to start fighting with the opponent.

  The elven archers and the dwarven riflemen have all climbed up onto the city walls, preparing to fire inward from atop the walls. Twenty-five human infantrymen stood guard on either side of the stone staircase leading up to the wall.

  Fifty elite hunters, under Xiao Yu's instructions, quickly rode their leopards into the city, found a place to hide and wait for an opportunity to set fire.

  Xiao Yu knew that with just his own troops, he would definitely not be enough to kill the enemy. He had to simultaneously prevent fires and create chaos for the enemy, so that his side would have more opportunities.

  The sprite hunter rides a leopard-shaped motorcycle and can turn invisible, making it perfect for arson. They set a fire and leave, hiding at the foot of a certain wall as long as there is shade, they can turn invisible.

  Xiao Yu's orders to them were to strictly prohibit engaging with the enemy, and once discovered, they would immediately retreat. They absolutely could not engage in a protracted battle; otherwise, the lone Spirit Hunters would easily be surrounded and killed by the opponent.

  By killing Tong Guan last time, these elf hunters have basically all reached level 2. Xiao Yu couldn't bear to let one die.

  "The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking, prepare for battle quickly..." The city began to make a loud noise, with drums and gongs everywhere, as if it was going to be a lively performance.

  Xiao Yu stood on the city wall, watching as some of the enemy had already charged over, a smile spreading across his lips.

  Xiao Yu's greatest worry was that the enemy would form a battle array and launch another attack. If that happened, their side would be at a disadvantage due to their smaller numbers, despite having already formed an array and occupied favorable terrain, they might still suffer heavy casualties.

  But now they are confused and unclear, so it's better for a batch of people to come over and die first.

  Xiao Yu did not dare to put all these soldiers into the battle, fighting separately and killing each other. Although they had taken advantage of a surprise attack, there were too few of them.

  If there were two thousand people, Xiao Yu would have directly ordered them to charge in without hesitation, but he now only has 650 people, while the other side has three or four thousand elite soldiers. If they charged in, they would be instantly overwhelmed by the enemy.

  Once a beastman soldier is surrounded by many people, there will be no good fruit to eat. The elf archers are even more unlikely to say that they have almost no close combat ability and are likely to be wiped out by the other side.

  Now he held the enemy's walls, letting archers shoot from a height, which was the most advantageous way of fighting.

  Although it is said to be an offensive battle, what Xiao Yu is actually fighting now is still a positional defensive battle, attracting them over and slowly grinding them to death like a millstone.

  "Beastmen... they're really beastmen..." The robbers who were charging over were shocked to see the beastmen, after all, rumors are one thing, but seeing it with their own eyes was another matter.

  However, they saw that the number of beastmen was not many, and at this time they only guarded the city gate, thinking that the beastmen were attacking the city, so they wanted to quickly block the beastmen at the gate.

  But they fell into Xiao Yu's trap.

  More than two hundred of them rushed over quickly, but what greeted them were not beastmen soldiers, but the riflemen and archers on the city walls.

  The elf archers, in this advantageous terrain, shot at the close-range charging enemy with extremely high accuracy. In an instant, the orc infantry didn't even have a chance to react, and over 200 of them fell down directly.

  Although the dwarves' marksmanship wasn't great due to their poor eyesight, they still managed to take down quite a few enemies under Xiao Yu's orders to shoot randomly in the direction of the flames.

  "Ah...... They've occupied the city walls, they have archers?" The robbers who hadn't arrived yet saw this scene and were immediately shocked, loudly shouting.

  At this time, the city wall was pitch black, and they couldn't see anything. The elves were hiding in the shadows on the wall, basically invisible. And the dwarves were relatively short, squatting there, almost out of sight.

  Those bandits who were shot down by the archers but did not die were directly trampled to death by the beastman soldiers with their big feet, without even needing an axe.

  Having disposed of the soldiers, Xiao Yu ordered them to retreat back and continue defending at the city gate. This was another Spartan-style battle, only this time, the city gate had been replaced by someone's house door.

  This is Xiao Yu's tactic, and in a situation where we are outnumbered, this tactic is the most effective.

  At this time, the human voice was in an uproar, and the robbers had all awakened, gradually gathering towards the city gate. Flames began to burn in some places within the city, adding to the chaos, making them unaware of how many enemies there were or what kind of enemy they were.

  And some of the robbers, seeing the beastmen guarding the gate, still habitually came over to fight immediately, trying to form a defensive formation to give the people behind them time to regroup.

  They didn't know that Xiao Yu never intended to attack and was just defending here.

  And after they rushed over, it all became experience for Xiao Yu and the heroes again. Xiao Yu watched as Sword Saint reached level 9, and soon Theland also reached level 9, while the Great Magister had already reached level 5. After their last battle against Tong Guan, they had accumulated a lot of experience, and today's trip here was just in time to complete it all.

  Xiao Yu quickly added a bit of Invincible Slash to Jian Sheng, making his Invincible Slash reach level 4. Then he added a bit to Tairan's Beast Soul, and on the side of the Great Magician, he added an Ice Shield, allowing the Great Magician to at least have some ability to protect himself for now.

  A burst of golden light flashed by, and Xiao Yu discovered that he had also leveled up, finally reaching level 6. Xiao Yu let out a hearty laugh, allocated his basic attribute points, and decisively learned the skill "Frost Shield" for himself.

  "Nima, from now on I'll just wear a magic shield and go chop people up, who's going to be my opponent?" Xiao Yu was extremely pleased.

  The system gave him more skill points than ordinary heroes, in order to let him synthesize the skills of several heroes, rather than being limited to just one, so that he can have even stronger strength.

  Otherwise, he had learned all of Sword Saint's skills and still had many skill points left over.

  "Great, great, at this intense moment of battle, we've actually come up with a collective big upgrade. It seems that annihilating this bandit's lair today is almost certain."

  Xiao Yu was thinking complacently here when suddenly a thunderous roar shook the sky: "Who dares to sneak attack my mountain stronghold?"

  Only to see a figure shrouded in yellow earthy aura quickly rushing over, with endless anger on his face. Xiao Yu narrowed her eyes and asked Zhao Hu: "Is this the Great Inn Master?"

  Zhao Hu nodded hastily and said, "That's right. Although I haven't seen him in person, judging from his appearance, it can be known that he is indeed the master of Dazhai, Karus."

  Xiao Yu nodded in satisfaction, letting Zhao Hu retreat and find a place to hide. Then he stood up and gave orders to the beastman soldiers below, collectively roaring loudly towards the front.

  Upon receiving the order, led by Gromm, three hundred orc soldiers stood in unison and let out a thunderous roar at the charging warlord Karius.

  Roar...

  The roar was like a muffled thunder, charging forward and forming a strong gust of wind that blew the sand and stones on the ground into the air, sweeping towards the leader of the large tribe, Karus.

  Karus just came over and got a mouthful of sand right on his head.

  "Nima, let's compare our vocal cords, don't you know that the beastman can shout the loudest?" Xiao Yu rubbed his nose and muttered discontentedly.
