My Chaotic City

Chapter 062 Dragon-Slaying Empire

When this server-wide announcement was released, ordinary players were fine, but the guild leaders and elites who were secretly competing were all taken aback.

"Li Hanqiang!"

"Who is this person? Which guild are they from? How dare they steal the server-wide announcement!"

"A dragon-slaying empire? Who's ever heard of a dragon-slaying empire!"

"Why does the Chaos City Lord have to get involved in this perfectly good world instance..."

At this very moment, in Chaos City No. 25, a blond man roared in fury.

This man was none other than Holy Cross Judgment, the guild leader of the Holy Cross Guild. In his Chaos City, the Fire Dragon Count BOSS had just been defeated.

"Damn it, he beat me to it by just a little bit! This Li Hanqiang, the one who's second on the Gold Coin Challenge leaderboard? Just who is he?"

Holy Cross Judgment was originally full of confidence, thinking that the first kill announcement of the Fire Dragon Earl was already in his pocket. After all, his Chaos City defense tower was powerful, and he had guild experts assisting him. If the Fire Giant Lizard could be killed first, there was no reason why the Fire Dragon Earl could not get the first kill.

But the reality is that he didn't get it; Chaos City No. 68 beat him to it.

So close, yet so far, the chance slipped through his fingers. The Holy Cross Judgment felt a tightness in his chest, an unbearable urge to suffocate him.

However, Holy Cross Judgment didn't have time to think too much, because he knew that there was a hidden BOSS in the Burning Ruins. This hidden BOSS was even more powerful than the Fire Dragon Earl. There would be a first kill announcement after defeating it. It was also the last BOSS in this wave of BOSS levels.

"Cheer up! There's still a hidden boss. Everyone, go all out and kill it as soon as possible to get the first kill notification!"

The Holy Cross Judgment cried out.

Behind him stood more than thirty archers and mages. Beside these archers and mages stood defensive towers, including basic arrow towers, basic cannon towers, and basic slowing towers, as well as three more advanced level two defensive towers—not one, but three futuristic-looking light towers!

Soon, the spacetime wormhole opened, and all the monsters disappeared. The hidden boss of the Burning Ruins appeared directly. It was a level 22 Fire God Spider Queen with a health of 24200.

The battle was triggered quickly, with archers and mages unleashing their fury and various defensive towers firing at full power.

The basic level 1 defensive towers are not worth mentioning, as their attack power is quite limited. However, the Light Tower is truly formidable, capable of firing laser beams as thick as an adult's thigh at an extremely fast rate of fire, more than two per second. Each laser beam can deal more than 100 points of damage. With three Light Towers focusing their fire, the Fire God Spider's health plummeted like a flood bursting its banks.

With the attacks from the surrounding players, it's estimated that the Fire God Spider Queen won't survive more than half a minute.

Seeing that the Fire God Spider Queen's health had dropped to less than a third, the Holy Cross Judgment couldn't help but smile.

This first kill announcement for the hidden boss is practically a done deal.

However, a server-wide announcement suddenly and mercilessly rang out: "Congratulations to player Li Hanqiang for successfully achieving the first kill of the hidden boss, the Fire God Spider, in the Burning Ruins of Chaos City, No. 68 of the Dragon Slayer Empire!"

"What!" The Holy Cross Judgment seemed to have been struck by lightning, almost falling from the sky.

Li Hanqiang stole it again! What kind of defensive towers does he have at home that can kill the BOSS instantly?

This server-wide announcement, identical to the one above, has sparked countless speculations among players.

"What's going on?"

"Hidden Boss! There's a hidden boss in the Burning Ruins!"

"What kind of empire is the Dragon Slayer Empire? A new faction?"

"Li Hanqiang? Which Li Hanqiang? The one who was recently called out by the entire server? Isn't he the Chaos City Lord? The Chaos City Lord can run dungeons? And kill hidden bosses!"

"Who is this person? Which guild's hidden expert...?"

Various discussions and doubts spread among the players. With two server-wide announcements in succession, Li Hanqiang's limelight was unparalleled. The Tianhe Guild, which had previously been the first to kill the Flame Demon Three-Headed Tiger, and the Holy Cross Judgment, which had been the first to kill the Fire Giant Lizard, were completely overshadowed by Li Hanqiang.

Lin Banyue also heard the system announcement. As a player who had participated in the closed beta test, she knew that the tenth wave of siege monsters was the BOSS in the Burning Ruins. However, during the closed beta test, very few people were able to kill the hidden BOSS.

During the closed beta test, gold coins were relatively easy to earn. Lin Banyue was very cautious at the time and built a total of 200 basic arrow towers before unlocking the BOSS level. Even so, she still couldn't stop the Fire God Spider Queen.

The Fire Spider Queen not only has high health, but it's also incredibly fast and can lay eggs, constantly hatching baby fire spiders. There's no time to kill it before it runs across the War Corridor.

Fortunately, the penalty for failing to defend the city in the tenth wave was not significant; it only resulted in the loss of the Chaos Heart's energy, which did not greatly affect the development of Chaos City.

"A lead at one step leads to an even greater lead at every step. This Li Hanqiang is quite a character. Could he be a hidden master from some major guild? If I have the chance, I must make contact with him. But the Dragon Slayer Empire... is this a new faction?"

Lin Banyue frowned. The three major empires and three major factions in the Endless World were the Xuanlong Empire, the Xinglong Empire, and the Molong Empire. She had never heard of the Dragon Slayer Empire during the closed beta test. However, the Endless World was too vast and had too many hidden settings. Perhaps the Dragon Slayer Empire was a hidden faction that she was unaware of.

"Judging from the name, the Dragon Slayer Empire seems to be a very powerful faction. How can I join?" Lin Banyue frowned and pondered...

At this moment, many players who participated in the closed beta test also shared the same thoughts as Lin Banyue.

Besides the three major factions, is there really another faction in the Endless World called the Dragon Slayer Empire?

How did Li Hanqiang join?

They couldn't help but ponder and reminisce.

The master thief was leading a group of middle-aged women on a mission, and he naturally heard the regional announcement, but he didn't care at all.

First-time clear of world dungeons, defeating hidden bosses—these things are too far removed from the lives of a wild, untrained player like him.

"This Li Hanqiang is really something. He must have unlocked a BOSS level. But the Dragon Slayer Empire... he must have made that up." The Divine Thief pondered haphazardly.

Li Hanqiang stood calmly in his war corridor.

After defeating the hidden boss, the Fire God Spider, his tenth wave of boss battles finally came to an end.

Li Hanqiang was extremely satisfied to be able to get two server-wide announcements by stepping on the heads of major guilds!

Since there was a server-wide announcement, Li Hanqiang naturally wouldn't pass up this opportunity to show off. Displaying his nickname was a must, and the server-wide announcement could also include the team name, which Li Hanqiang set to "Dragon Slayer Empire".

The master thief was right; Li Hanqiang was a fabrication.

Anyway, he wasn't planning to choose one of the three factions, so why not just make up a more imposing one? The words "Dragon Slayer" sound much better! Much better than "Mysterious Dragon," "Demon Dragon," or "Star Dragon."

Of course, Li Hanqiang doesn't care if other players make wild guesses because of this.
