“I’m ordering all of you to stay here and not move.”

Mo Xiao looked at the group of chattering professionals in front of him and had no intention of dealing with them.

“What?! We are all professionals! Why do you have the right to stop us from acting?”

“That’s right! What if our base city gets breached because you stopped us from taking action?”

Listening to the cacophony of voices, Mo Xiao’s expression grew colder. He directly shouted, “Shut up!

“Since you don’t obey, you can just not listen and go fight on your own. I don’t want to bother with you.” Mo Xiao coldly said, “But if you die, don’t blame me. Dying due to disobedience is none of my concern.

“That’s all I have to say. Whether you want to die or live, it’s up to you.”

After saying that, Mo Xiao paid no attention to their reactions. He turned and went back to Su Jin’er’s side, saying, “How about we go down and guard? It might be annoying staying here.”

Su Jin’er heard this and glanced at the professionals, covering her mouth with a smile. “The visibility might not be broad enough down there, and these guys might follow us. How about we go up to the sky?”

“Sure.” Mo Xiao nodded. Without another word, he directly used the Flight Technique and soared into the air, steadily floating in midair.

On the other hand, Su Jin’er summoned the skeletal dragon again and rode on it to fly up.

“Control the altitude of the flight point. Don’t exceed your attack range,” Su Jin’er reminded Mo Xiao, who was flying high in the sky.

Mo Xiao nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t.”

Seeing Mo Xiao’s calm demeanor, Su Jin’er smiled and controlled the skeletal dragon to slowly fly to Mo Xiao’s side. “There are a total of 10 rounds of minor monsters and two rounds of bosses in the siege battle. If we survive these 12 rounds of attacks, we’ll consider the defense successful.

“Each round of minor monster attacks lasts about 30 minutes. If you don’t kill them all within 30 minutes, the next round of minor monsters will appear directly. They will attack the city alongside the previous round of monsters. However, if you kill them early, the next wave of monsters will appear immediately, even affecting the spawn rate of monsters in other parts of the city.

“That’s why we usually leave one minor monster behind, lead it around in circles, and then go help in other parts of the city.”

“What about the boss?” Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully and asked.

Su Jin’er said, “The boss’s attack time is slightly shorter, usually 20 minutes. If the boss is not killed within 20 minutes, the minor monsters will also appear directly. But if the boss is present, the attributes of the appearing minor monsters will receive a significant boost.

“So, no matter what, the boss must be killed, or the difficulty of defending the city will greatly increase.

Listening to Su Jin’er’s explanation, Mo Xiao thought for a moment and said, “In short, just kill all the monsters, right?”

“Yes, if your strength is sufficient, killing all these monsters is enough.” Su Jin’er smiled as well. Indeed, this defense task was as simple as that. If your strength is enough, just eliminate all the monsters, and there won’t be any problems.”

“Got it.”

Mo Xiao stopped wasting words and simply floated in mid-air, calmly watching the minor monsters below. With numerous summoned creatures at his disposal, even if some monsters approached the city gates, they would be instantly wiped out. He didn’t need to worry about anything.

Twenty-five minutes later.

[Warning, the first round of defense time has ended! The second round is about to begin! Please quickly defeat the remaining attacking soldiers!] “Hmm?” Hearing this system alert, Mo Xiao furrowed his brow slightly. It had only been 25 minutes, why was the next round starting already? Wasn’t it supposed to be half an hour?

As if understanding what Mo Xiao was thinking, Su Jin’er explained, “It should be because all the monsters in the other three city districts have been killed, so the first round of defense ended early. Go ahead and kill this last monster.”

Mo Xiao nodded lightly. With a thought, the Skeleton Lord rushed directly to the last shipbreaker and slashed out, directly ending its life.

[Congratulations on killing the last shipbreaker and successfully completing the first round of the city defense battle! Reward: 100 merit points!]

[The first round of siege is over! The second round of siege begins!]

Without any delay, countless blue lights lit up at the edge of the barrier, and more majestic monsters instantly appeared on the battlefield.

Skills: N/A (To save you from complaining about me being verbose! Omitted!) “Level 35 monsters right off the bat?” Mo Xiao scanned the monsters below and furrowed his brow slightly. Among this group of monsters, he even saw a few elite Infiltrators. The difficulty of this defense instantly doubled.

“Looks like the strength has increased quite a bit.” Su Jin’er was still very calm. She looked at Mo Xiao with a smile and asked, “Do you need my help?”

Mo Xiao directly shook his head and said, “Your skeletons are enough. I can still deal with this level of strength.”

As he spoke, Mo Xiao raised the Four Symbols Heavy Sword again. The next moment, Su Jin’er was dumbfounded.

She saw an extremely familiar magic array appear in front of Mo Xiao.

Then, a huge skeletal dragon materialized out of thin air right in front of Mo Xiao.

“Go!”

Following Mo Xiao’s order, the skeletal dragon instantly swooped down and launched an attack on the new monster.

“Skeletal Dragon Summoning…” Looking at the skill displayed by Mo Xiao, Su Jin’er’s eyes narrowed. ‘This seems to be my skill too. This kid actually knows it too.’

“What’s the matter?” Feeling Su Jin’er’s gaze, Mo Xiao was slightly stunned and asked uneasily.

Su Jin’er looked at Mo Xiao and said, “The Skeletal Dragon Summoning Technique is not a low-level undead skill. How did you learn this skill?”

Seeing Su Jin’er staring fixedly at him, Mo Xiao hurriedly turned his head and coughed dryly before saying, “Ahem, 1 killed a Bronze-rank Bone Dragon Boss in the Deadman’s Canyon. It dropped this skill book.”

“Oh, that boss, the Keeper of the Secret Realm.” Su Jin’er nodded thoughtfully. “That guy does have a chance to drop Skeletal Dragon Summoning. You really lucked out.”

“Ahaha, yeah…” Mo Xiao laughed awkwardly twice, not elaborating further. He stared intently at the monsters on the battlefield.

Seeing Mo Xiao’s nervousness, Su Jin’er’s suspicions grew stronger. She felt like Mo Xiao might have some special ability. Even though she couldn’t discern it, his skills and equipment were just too powerful.

His luck couldn’t be so good as to reach this level, could it?
