Chapter 228: An Opponent with a Cheat
As commands were issued one after another, all the troops in Mirror City were quickly mobilized.
The two guards who usually accompanied Luo Ji also swiftly stepped forward to help their chief put on his armor.
This was a bronze armor, designed with reference to the Mingguang armor style.
Such armor couldn’t be put on properly by one person; and assistance was necessary.
After donning the armor and the meticulously crafted Qilin helmet, Luo Ji looked incredibly mighty and imposing, causing the eyes of the two guards beside him to gleam with admiration.
If one were to ask the men of this era what two things they desired most, it would undoubtedly be a warhorse and armor.
However, these two items were important military resources.
Aside from injured, retired horses, normal warhorses were only equipped for the army.
And a suit of Mingguang armor like this was only authorized for his few general-level figures.
Ordinary soldiers could generally only envy them.
There was no alternative, resources were limited, and forging such a suit of armor was not easy.
As the chief, considering his safety, Luo Ji’s Mingguang armor was undoubtedly even more luxurious.
It was made with ample materials and was quite heavy.
Wearing it felt like carrying a load of 50 or 60 catties.
However, this was unavoidable, to gain defensive power, one always had to sacrifice a bit of flexibility and speed.
This was common knowledge for game players.
Fortunately, his body was robust, and his muscles weren’t for show, so wearing it wasn’t difficult.
He strode quickly out of his residence.
His beloved horse, Liaoyuan Huo, was already waiting outside.
Without further ado, Luo Ji swung himself onto the horse and galloped all the way to Mirror City’s West Gate.
During this time, he hadn’t even had a chance to feel the changes in his horsemanship.
When he came to his senses, he found that he had already arrived…
At this moment, although Luo Ji didn’t have any distinct sensation, he knew that his horsemanship had truly improved, because he usually couldn’t reach the West Gate from his residence on Liaoyuan Huo so quickly.
Wearing such eye-catching Mingguang armor, coupled with Liaoyuan Huo beneath him, his arrival undoubtedly drew everyone’s attention.
It was like a shot of adrenaline, boosting the morale of the soldiers gathered near the city gate!
“Leader!”
Behind the West Gate, Luo Cheng and Liu Meng, also clad in bronze armor, immediately stepped forward two steps to greet Luo Ji.
“What’s the situation?”
“Those outsider invaders are gathering at the end of the western plains, but they don’t seem to intend to attack immediately.”
Luo Cheng quickly replied.
“They’re not attacking directly?”
While speaking, Luo Ji led Luo Cheng and Liu Meng quickly up the city wall.
He then raised his monocular telescope and observed the distance.
However, the opponent was clearly not foolish, before launching an attack, they cleverly hid their soldiers in the forest.
This way, they wouldn’t directly expose their troop composition and allow him to prepare.
So, even with the magnified view provided by the telescope, Luo Ji could only vaguely discern a large number of figures ambushing in the distant forest.
At the same time, thinking carefully, if he remembered correctly, this Wang Luzong should be from the ‘Zhongheng Tianxia’ alliance.
In other words, the opponent was coming for his life.
However, even now, they hadn’t directly attacked, which was a bit odd.
Luo Ji then had a thought.
“Could it be that my city walls deterred them?”
Luo Ji was confident that the city walls of his Mirror City, a grand project that took nearly two years to complete, were no inferior to any player’s city walls in the Bronze Tier!
Indeed, building such a massive circuit of walls came at an enormous cost.
Besides abundant mineral resources, it also required a large amount of human resources, material resources, and time.
Even among Bronze Tier players, not everyone had such city walls.
Some players who were struggling and ranked at the bottom in terms of combat power were basically still using ancient walls made of wooden stakes.
As a veteran in the Bronze Tier, Wang Luzong clearly had such city walls himself.
However, the scale of the opposing city walls was a bit exaggerated…
The moment he saw this city, he almost turned around and left.
Damn it!
Did he click the wrong target by mistake?
But this guy’s name was indeed Luo Ji!
Is this seriously a newcomer who just advanced from unranked?
This must be a joke!
At this moment, Wang Luzong was somewhat dumbfounded.
This Luo Ji was too abnormal.
Generally, newcomers who just advanced from unranked, while occasionally a few powerful ones might directly build stone city walls, their scale would absolutely not be this grand.
This guy must be using a cheat!
Damn it!
I’m going to report him.
That Luo guy is a cheater!!
Wang Luzong pulled up the system interface, searched around, but couldn’t find the report button, causing his mood to explode.
How could this be dealt with?
That city wall on the other side was practically a declaration of strength that deterred attack!
It could only be said that Luo Ji had developed too well in the early stages of farming.
In addition, the two golden treasure chests from his first battle had yielded him the golden-grade triple-bow bed crossbow design blueprint and the elixir of immortality.
The triple-bow bed crossbow gave him the capital to do as he pleased in unranked siege battles, and the civilization points earned from selling the elixir of immortality provided him with ample development funds.
Immediately after, the new panel unlocked by the world fragment allowed him to directly annex the civilizations of two players, leading to a population boom!
These factors continuously accumulated and combined, ultimately causing Luo Ji’s civilization to grow like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger throughout the entire early stage!
Such a completely unique development method was clearly impossible for ordinary players to replicate.
Therefore, for Wang Luzong, the majestic city that appeared before his eyes had exceeded his common understanding.
Besides the opponent using a cheat, his mind simply couldn’t conceive of any other possibility.
To fight or not to fight?
This became a stomach-churning question for him.
To retreat without fighting was really inexcusable.
He at least needed to gather some useful intelligence first, such as the opponent’s troop deployment and composition, so that he would have something to say if Liu Ye questioned him later.
At the same time, he also held a glimmer of hope.
He was thinking, what if the opponent’s city wall only looked imposing?
For example, what if it had shoddy workmanship!
Once similar thoughts arose, they began to spread uncontrollably.
Thinking about it, Wang Luzong even felt it was becoming increasingly likely.
After all, how could a newcomer build a city of this scale?
There must be something fishy going on!
