23 When the Eight Sides Were in Trouble, One Side Would Provide Support

Ten alloy boulders smashed right into the beasts, crushing them into meat patties!

Additionally, there were the farmers in front of the castle gates. The number of beasts was decreasing. Their corpses piled up into a small hill.

The farmers' bodies were covered in a layer of blood, while their experience points were rising rapidly.

Meanwhile, Xu Hang and Zhao Qing Er were eating steaks in the castle. The two of them happily talked about their lives before they transmigrated to this world. They were both about the same age, so they had quite a lot in common. 

Zhao Qing Er opened the map of her castle. 

There were not many beasts around her place compared to Xu Hang's side. Zhao Qing Er's troops could easily deal with them.

Since her territory was not in any danger, she was relieved.

"I didn't expect you to be so powerful. After all, you're ranked last in the leaderboards," teased Zhao Qing Er.

"It's nothing."

Xu Hang replied modestly.

"Your territory is rather safe. I'm not as lucky."

"But you can handle the beasts with just a few farmers. On the other hand, I have to go all out."

"Hahahaha!"

They chatted and laughed.

Then, Xu Hang accessed the world chat channel.

[ Beast Tide? What nonsense. I handled them easily. Hahahaha. ]

[ They don't seem to be that powerful. My combat power is only 200 points but my troops can beat them. Hahaha. ]

[ I didn't expect the beasts to be so weak. Well, I'm just going to eat some meat! ]

The world chat channel was filled with joy.

Suddenly, Xu Hang received a private message.

[ Yang Mingyue: Brother, I can't hold the beasts back anymore. Requesting for support. ]

*Picture attached*

Xu Hang clicked on it. 

The picture showed that Yang Mingyue's defense was destroyed by the magical beasts.

Two hours ago, Yang Mingyue decided to continue to mine for earth crystals because the beasts had not arrived yet.

As for the farmer, after he repaired the barricades, he went back to farming.

Yang Mingyue could not really command the farmer because he did not belong to him.

Then, the beasts attacked.

As Yang Mingyue was about to retreat, a magical beast stepped on the farmer's field and just like the farmer on Xu Hang's side, he went crazy and went on a killing spree!

At first, Yang Mingyue was shocked, but after seeing him kill magical beasts for an hour, he began to yawn.

He left the farmer alone and ordered his troops to continue mining for earth crystals. 

Also, Yang Mingyue had leveled his castle to level 3.

However, a problem soon occurred.

The number of magical beasts had escalated. 

There was no way to kill them all and there were no signs of them retreating.

As for the farmer, originally, there was no problem but the sheer number of magical beasts managed to penetrate his defense.

Some places were already destroyed. The magical beasts continued to swarm in Yang Mingyue's territory. 

Yang Mingyue was not weak. He did his utter best to defend his castle.

Nonetheless, more and more places were destroyed and the number of magical beasts did not decrease. 

It was only a matter of time before Yang Mingyue was killed.

So, he quickly sent a distress signal to Xu Hang.

[ Xu Hang: Why are there so many magical beasts at your place? Wait a moment. I will send help over. ]

[ Yang Mingyue: Thank you. I will hold them off for as long as I can. ] 

Then, he immediately left the chat room.

"Shadow, bring some farmers to Yang Mingyue's territory and protect him!"

"Yes, Master!"

Shadow and a few other farmers set off.

Meanwhile, a soldier approached Xu Hang and reported, "Master, I found a talking mosquito outside that said it wanted to talk to you!"

"Isn't this… an elf?"

A dying female elf was in the hands of the soldier.

"Our... place has been destroyed..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she closed her eyes.

The sight made Xu Hang shed tears. 

He waved his hand as he cried, "Bury her. Plant the most beautiful flower that you can find on top of her grave!"

"Yes, Master..."

"Are you crazy? Have you been watching too many dramas?"

Zhao Qing Er quickly snatched the little elf away. She leaned her ear close to the elf's chest. There was a faint heartbeat. 

"You idiot! She just fainted. You almost killed her!"

"Uh..."

Xu Hang was so embarrassed that he wanted to bury his head inside the soil.

"Hill, bring a couple of farmers and drive to the elf's cave. Make sure that they are safe!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Uh, how did you know that she was not dead?"

"Isn't it obvious? It's common sense!"

Zhao Qing Er got a little agitated.

However, upon seeing Xu Hang scratch his head in embarrassment, her tone softened. 

"I studied nursing in college."

"Oh, is that so?"

"By the way, uh, I wanted to ask you something…"

Seeing how awkward the situation was, Zhao Qing Er lowered her head. Her face was slightly red.

Xu Hang gulped and continued, "Do you want to form an alliance with me?"

Zhao Qing Er was stunned. 

She thought that Xu Hang was going to confess to her.

Although she was not a self-centered person, she clearly knew that she was a beauty.

When she was studying nursing, she was rather hard to approach. Therefore, even though she was a beauty, no one pursued her for the four years she was in college.

She thought that she was going to experience her first confession ever based on how Xu Hang was acting earlier.

"I'm willing..."

Zhao Qing Er sighed softly.

Having an alliance with Xu Hang would be very beneficial. He was strong and based on his actions earlier, he seemed to be a relatively loyal person.

"Okay!"

[ System Notification: Lord Xu Hang had requested to establish an alliance with you ]

[ Yes ] [ No ]

There was nothing to think about. Zhao Qing Er clicked [ Yes ].

With that, the alliance was formed.

"Great. My team has grown again. I'm so happy!"

After saying that, Xu Hang stood up. He wanted to shake hands with Zhao Qing Er but suddenly, she received another notification.

[ System Notification: Your castle is under attack! ]

Zhao Qing Er instantly panicked!

"Xu Hang, my castle is under attack!"

Zhao Qing Er opened the map and found out that the magical beasts invading her territory had increased by several folds. Her soldiers could no longer hold them back. Some of the beasts had even entered her castle and were destroying it!

"Charlie! Take the rest of the farmers with you and go to Miss Zhao's territory! Oh right, use the car!"

"But Master, there won't be anyone left to protect you. There won't be any cars left as well! What will you do?"
