25: Chapter 25 The Ancestor's Protection

The event has escalated.

The Gaze of the Abyss has upgraded from Rank 1 to Rank 2.

The territory will be exposed to the sight of more Insect Swarms.

How did destroying two nests make them so desperate?

It is perfectly normal for the alien attacks to strengthen as the territory strengthens.

Su Yang was not too surprised by this, but one of the items in the enhanced content caught his attention.

A wider range and more types of Xenomorphs will join the crusade.

As a highly intelligent race with a social structure, the Xenomorphs must have a vast variety of differentiated species.

Currently, on the offensive side, only two types have been encountered: Stinger Bug and Spitting Insect.

The Spitting Insect had caused some trouble when it first appeared.

In the future, as the enemy's strength increases, various types of Xenomorphs will surely appear.

To survive the Xenomorph attacks, one must continue to develop and constantly expand one's own troop types.

However, these are matters for later; development must be done one step at a time.

Once the Imperial Armor Camp is upgraded to Rank 2 this afternoon, Crossbowman and Scout will be unlocked.

With Crossbowman and the upgraded city walls, no matter how many Xenomorphs come at this stage, they are just throwing their lives away.

If possible, Su Yang even hopes that more Xenomorph troops will come.

This way, he can quickly accumulate command points, allowing him to begin his path of expedition...

Dragon Country Military Department, Conference Hall.

Seeing that the Dragon Country was the first among all countries to reach Rank 2, the excitement on the faces of the officers could not be concealed.

"Who would have thought, who would have thought, this kid actually managed to take two consecutive stage achievements!"

"It's unbelievable. If Su Yang had chosen the Late Qing Dynasty as we suggested, he would still be digging stones right now."

"The Qin Dynasty is actually this powerful; it's hard to imagine what a prosperous civilization it must have been two thousand years ago."

While the officers were exclaiming, someone from the Expert Group stepped out and spoke.

"Generals, in my opinion, being the first to upgrade is not necessarily a good thing."

"Combined with our observations from the past few days, Su Yang has chosen to explore outwards so far."

"He does not seem to care much about his territory or his base defense."

"In the early stages, building city walls is the most massive project, requiring an average of 3 to 4 days to complete."

"With the productivity of an ancient dynasty like the Qin Dynasty, it is almost impossible to finish building the city walls today."

"And by upgrading to a Rank 2 Main Base, the territory's influence increases, and the possibility of being attacked by Xenomorphs will increase."

"If there are no surprises, it is very likely that tonight, Su Yang will face an Insect Swarm attack without the obstruction of city walls!"

As soon as the expert finished speaking, the rare relaxed atmosphere in the conference hall vanished.

The officers looked at each other, pondering the expert's words.

Although these words really ruined the mood, this is the very purpose of the Expert Group's existence.

Their duty is to identify any potential hidden dangers within the territory.

After a brief moment of contemplation, the General of the Military Department spoke slowly.

"I think your perspective is too pessimistic."

"Although Great Qin is an ancient civilization, the strength it has displayed has already brought us too many surprises."

"I believe the technological level and troop strength of Great Qin can at least rival civilizations from the medieval period."

"Given their productivity, the city walls have likely already been completed."

"Su Yang seems reckless, but he is actually very clear-headed."

"He must have considered how to defend against Xenomorph attacks before upgrading the base."

The General of the Military Department's words were reasonable and well-founded, and everyone nodded after hearing them.

Coming to this day, their trust in Su Yang and Great Qin already outweighs their doubts.

"Even if the city walls are finished, according to my research, there are still problems."

Another expert from the Expert Group, specializing in urban construction, spoke up.

"City wall facilities are uniform across all civilizations; they are all built from stone and are very crude."

"A height of 3 meters is barely enough to face the Xenomorphs, let alone now that the Xenomorph offensive will be even more fierce."

"A Rank 1 city wall is likely to be vulnerable against a large-scale Bug Swarm Tide..."

The conference room fell into silence; the strength of a Rank 1 city wall is indeed too weak.

Su Yang only upgraded the Main Base today; it is impossible to have built a Rank 2 city wall by tonight.

Without a Rank 2 city wall...

Buzz—

While the officers were silent, the big screen began to flicker.

The live broadcast was about to start, and everyone's eyes were drawn to it.

Everything said in the conference hall was just speculation; only by seeing it with their own eyes would they know the real development situation of the territory.

What is the actual development situation within the territory?

Did Su Yang consider the issue of the Bug Swarm Tide attack?

What about the Rank 1 city wall...

Hum—

The screen flashed and then lit up.

Seeing the scene on the screen, everyone's eyes lit up.

"There are city walls, Su Yang built city walls! He really is not a reckless person!"

"That's not right, is this a Rank 1 city wall? Why is it so luxurious!"

"Look at this height, look at this design; this cannot possibly be a normal city wall!"

"A Rank 2 city wall is made of metal; this can only be a Rank 1 city wall, but it must be a Rank 1 city wall that has undergone some kind of upgrade."

The urban construction expert adjusted his glasses, his eyes shining.

"Civilization trait, Su Yang triggered the civilization trait of Great Qin."

"If the chosen civilization has made outstanding contributions in a certain aspect, when the territory develops to the corresponding stage, it will trigger a civilization trait and obtain various bonuses."

"The design of the city walls in the territory is exactly the Ancient Great Wall that completely collapsed in our wars!"

Upon hearing this, emotions surged in everyone's hearts.

If it weren't for our ancestors spending their blood and sweat to build the city walls, we wouldn't have triggered such a powerful civilization trait today!

"We were incompetent and failed to protect the wealth of our Old Ancestor; today, Su Yang has restored the painstaking efforts of our ancestors for us!"

"With city walls of this defensive strength, the Xenomorphs won't even be able to step half a step into our territory!"

Official live broadcast room.

After listening to the expert's analysis of the origin of the high-level city walls in the territory.

The emotions of the public were all ignited.

"Dragon Country is mighty, Huaxia is mighty!"

"It's so spectacular! It's hard to imagine how much blood and sweat the ancients had to spend!"

"The city walls built by our Old Ancestor a thousand years ago are still protecting us today!"

"Meritorious in the present, beneficial for generations to come! Grateful for the contributions of our ancestors!"

"Great Qin is not an ancient and backward dynasty from a thousand years ago; it is the great dynasty where our ancestors lived!"

"With our Old Ancestor here, our Dragon Country will not fall!"
