Chapter 269 - Versatile, Jack Of All Trades And The Versatile Battle Mage (VIII) (1/2)
When the Simulated Village reappeared and the timer for the first wave appeared once again, I started to upgrade the walls to the max level, The max level of the walls is 20 and I only spent 50 thousand Horde coins to fully upgrade the whole thing.
Wall [Level 20]
Info: Made from the toughest steel, the walls are just too tough to break in a few hits easily. Even a lot of bullets would not dent it and it would take a few cannonballs before it will be damaged. Tailored to last long in sieges. To ensure its long-lasting endurance, it will continue to repair itself, healing 10,000 damage per second. Spikes are also added to ensure that climbers will have a thorny climb up to the top.
Note: This thicc wall will surely help you to till the end.
When I read the info, I didn't expect it to have self-repair abilities and on top of that, climbing monsters will also have a hard time dealing with the wall due to the thorns that damage any climbing cretins! This is overkill in the first few rounds where the monsters don't deal that much damage to the walls! Even if they managed to get into the walls, they can't break it down and even if we stand all day, they will not be destroyed at all!
Of course, that isn't the case in the later waves. 10,000 damage repaired every second would be not enough considering the enemies in the later rounds can easily shred through things so this should be for purely defensive purposes only.
After maximizing the walls, the next thing I did was to purchase the offensive towers and place them on the village. Since one tower is not enough, I bought 8 towers to defend all corners of the walls and spent 160 Horde coins.
When I purchased the towers and placed them, another tower unlocked and this time, it is not an attack tower but a freezing tower.
[Freezing Tower] [Level 1]
Info: Works similar to an attack tower. The difference is that they don't damage the enemies but slow down their movements. Their defenses will also fall for a bit. Slow effect and defense reduction effects will increase after it gets upgraded.
Horde coins needed to purchase a tower: 50 coins
Note: Best replacement for refrigerators. Not only does it freeze the product you want to freeze, but it also freezes you and can even make you an ice sculpture in an instant.
...
Yep, this tower is not for freezing products since even I will get frozen if I do then doesn't that mean the refrigerator is much better?
Ahem...
I shouldn't take the notes too seriously. Whoever has written those things is a person with low humor or just someone who indirectly wants to insult other people.
However, these Freeze tower is also pretty good. Not only do they slow down enemies, but they can also reduce the defense values of any monster that got affected by the slow. In the later waves, monsters with high agility straight-up run towards the walls and we barely have enough time to take them down. Therefore, this thing is also a must-buy so that I can ensure that we get past wave 60.
It might be a bit expensive compared to the Attack tower but, understandably, they are costly.
Just like the Attack Tower, I bought 8 Freeze towers and place them next to the other attack towers. Now, for the upgrades. It didn't take too long for us before the coins I earned throughout the few failures, I didn't manage to upgrade all of them fully since it gets more expensive as I upgrade. But it isn't a bad thing since I managed to reach the upgrade level of all towers to level 8. It is far from the expected amount but since I have multiple towers to level, this is the only how far amount of Horde coins I accumulated so far.
”So the horde coins we earned for how many resets only managed to reach us this far? Isn't it a bit underwhelming compared to the amount we earned?” Lucia said as she looked at the result of the upgrades.”
”We can't do anything about that, the upgrades are frigging expensive and we have a currency limit to earn. It's a bit bad design but what can we do about it? Besides, we are not here to last until the very final wave, we are here to last until the 60th wave to attack the boss monster.”
