After a moment of silence, Lin Feng suddenly asked, "What about Wang Hao?"

Su Yurou's lips curled up again. "Wang Hao is amazing. Didn't you ask him to be the moderator for the livestream channel? He banned thousands of trolls last month, and he stays up until the early hours every night."

She paused, "Later, he even wrote a long article analyzing the development strategy of Beacon Fire Territory, from building the village to upgrading and strategic layout, writing a full eight thousand words."

"That article was reposted by the official Dream Net, featured on the homepage for several days, and the view count exceeded ten million. With the writing fee and bonus, he earned over a hundred thousand."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but pause, "And his title was 'My Desk-mate Lin Feng: The Development Strategy of Beacon Fire Territory'."

Lin Feng's footsteps noticeably faltered.

"He even specifically wrote a section at the beginning of the article—" Su Yurou cleared her throat and imitated Wang Hao's tone,

"'As Lin Feng's desk-mate for three years of high school, his most trusted comrade-in-arms, and a witness to the development of Beacon Fire Territory, I have the responsibility and obligation to record this glorious journey...'"

Lin Feng interrupted her expressionlessly, "He changed four desk-mates over his three years of high school."

Su Yurou finally burst out laughing, causing the Great-Horned Deer to sway beneath her.

About an hour later, a black outline slowly rose on the horizon ahead.

It was the city wall of Akita County, about five li away, twenty meters high, looking like a sleeping snake in the moonlight.

"Accelerate," Lin Feng ordered in a low ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) voice. The team shifted from a fast walk to a run, then from a run to a sprint.

When they were fifteen hundred meters from the wall, Lin Feng kicked off the ground, his body soaring into the air, while the Wildfire Spear behind his back emitted a faint hum.

He reached his top speed, fifty-five meters per second, and ten seconds later, he landed on the wall of Akita County.

The city wall was brightly lit with torches. Orc Infantry were leaning against the battlements in twos and threes; some were dozing off, some were sharpening their blades, and some were gnawing on bones.

Hearing the commotion, they looked up and saw a humanoid shadow descending from the sky. Before they could react, a dark red spear had already pierced the chest of the nearest Orc Infantry.

- 520!

A pale cyan air-wave exploded from the spear tip, spreading outwards in a ring.

Three Orc Infantry within a three-meter radius were struck by the air-wave, each losing over a hundred HP.

Before a low-HP Orc could crawl up from the battlement, a second air-wave swept over, killing it instantly.

Lin Feng retracted his spear and thrust it to the right. Another Orc Infantry, - 531, the air-wave spread, splashing four Orcs within three meters; two fell to the ground, and two were left with low HP.

Third shot, fourth shot, fifth shot... He barely moved, firing five shots in one second, each taking out a target, and each exploding with a ring of pale cyan air-wave.

It was as if someone were setting off fireworks on the city wall; rings of cyan light exploded under the torches, and the sound of the spreading air-waves rolled like muffled thunder in the clouds.

Just as Lin Feng was killing smoothly, an Orc Centurion in front of him raised its axe to block.

The moment the spear tip collided with the axe blade, a sudden, massive roar exploded from the spear tip.

A semi-transparent whirlwind spread in all directions from the point of impact, enveloping everything within a fifty-meter radius. This was Great Air-Wave Diffusion, a five percent probability trigger.

The whirlwind was extremely fast, blowing the Orcs on the city wall away.

Some slammed into the battlements, some fell from the city wall,

and some were blown over a dozen meters away, crashing onto the roofs of houses inside the wall, shattering tiles, with screams echoing one after another.

A large number of torches on the city wall were blown out, and rubble and dust flew into the air, obscuring the sky and moon.

The air-wave did not cause damage, but the chaos it created was more terrifying than any damage.

The Orcs' formation completely collapsed; officers couldn't find their soldiers, and soldiers couldn't find their officers; Orcs were falling and being blown away everywhere.

Lin Feng did not waste this opportunity. He charged into the densest area of Orcs with his spear, each shot exploding with a ring of pale cyan air-wave, and the splash damage spreading like ripples through the Orc crowd.

As one Orc fell, the Orcs within three meters of it lost HP simultaneously. As two fell, the HP bars of that group of Orcs plummeted visibly, and a vacuum zone immediately appeared on the city wall.

Below the city wall, the Beacon Guards had already charged within one hundred meters.

With an order from the Centurion, hundreds of crossbow bolts left their strings simultaneously. The rain of arrows pierced the night sky and pinned into the Orcs on the city wall.

Screams, the clashing of metal, and the vibration of crossbow strings mingled together like a chaotic symphony.

scaling ladders were carried to the city wall, iron hooks bit into the battlements, and the black-armored soldiers began to climb.

Su Yurou dismounted the deer, gripped the bone healing staff with both hands, and held it to her chest.

The staff erupted with a blinding green light, which surged from her like a tide, spreading in all directions.

A layer of pale green halo lit up simultaneously on the bodies of over eight hundred Beacon Guards—Blessing of All Living Beings.

Standing on the city wall and seeing the Beacon Guards begin to ascend, Lin Feng concentrated a blazing flame meteor at his spear tip—【Beacon Fire City】.

The flame meteor swept along the base of the inner side of the city wall, exploding into a long flame shockwave.

The Orcs on the wall were blown away, set on fire, and knocked off the city wall by the air-wave.

Wherever the flame meteor passed, there was not a single Orc left standing on a five-hundred-meter stretch of the city wall.

The Beacon Guards poured in from that vacant area and quickly spread to both sides.

War halberds swept, bronze swords slashed, and Qin Crossbows fired at close range.

Two Great Qin Elite Soldiers cooperated tacitly; one used a halberd to deflect an Orc's weapon, while the other used a crossbow to pierce the Orc's throat.

The black armor glimmered coldly under the torches, and the war halberds traced silver-white arcs in the moonlight.

The Orc Infantry's HP bars dropped rapidly under their assault, falling in droves.

In less than half an hour, the Orc garrison on the city wall was completely cleared.

The garrison of Akita County was even smaller than that of Chidori County, with only over a thousand Orc Infantry and a few Centurions; there wasn't even a decent commander.

The main force of the Orcs had all gone to besiege Osaka Castle; for such a small rear city, leaving this many troops was already giving face.

Lin Feng jumped down from the city wall and walked toward the Council Hall in the center of the city.

The streets of Akita County were similar to those of Chidori County, with Orc-style stone houses and animal bones and skins hanging at the doorways.

Sporadic Orcs rushed out from the alleys, only to be cut down like chopping melons and vegetables by the Beacon Guards who entered the city subsequently.

The Council Hall was in the center of the city, a two-story stone building with crooked Orc characters carved on the lintel.

A dozen Orc Infantry were guarding the entrance. Lin Feng finished them off with a few spear thrusts, the air-wave exploded, and the splash damage even cracked a piece of the door frame.

He pushed the door open and went in. In the center of the hall, a dark red territory core was floating.

Lin Feng thrust his spear in, - 220. Second shot, - 220. After ten shots, the core shattered and dissipated into dark red light spots.

A golden light surged from where the core shattered, re-condensing into a new dark golden core, smooth and warm like jade.

【Akita County has been captured.】

【This territory has been automatically converted into a subordinate territory of Beacon Fire Territory.】

Lin Feng put away the Wildfire Spear and turned to walk out of the Council Hall.

On the open ground outside the door, over three thousand figures appeared out of thin air: soldiers carrying weapons, women leading children, old people pushing carts, and piles of supplies.

One thousand people held weapons and wore tattered leather armor, looking around in bewilderment; the other two thousand were family members.

The supplies were piled up like a small mountain: three thousand Gray Crystals, one thousand each of Copper Ingot, Tin Ingot, and Iron Ingot, and one thousand food.

Lin Feng looked at those County Soldiers and supplies, the corners of his mouth curling into an unmistakable arc.

A raid spanning several hundred li, capturing two cities in a row, gaining two thousand County Soldiers, four thousand family members, and nearly ten thousand in resources.

He withdrew his gaze, turned, and walked back into the Council Hall, the spear tip behind him still dripping with black blood.
