At nine in the morning, Dafei took a taxi back to his rented apartment. He had to admit that Shendong City's traffic was a pain in the ass. It was impossible to go out during rush hour. In short, the more he went out, the more he had to deal with the troublesome matters in the game.
As soon as Dafei went online, a row of system notifications popped up!
— System Notification: Warning! Your city under construction, Light City, has entered a state of full combat readiness! Once the city is in a critical state, your city-building mission "Constructing the Lake Fortress" will fail, and the kingdom will revoke your feudal lord appointment!
Dafei's heart skipped a beat! F * ck! The war has really started!
I don't need to say anything else. Hurry up and die! Dafei jumped into the lake and dived to the bottom. He waited for his breath to reach the bottom before his vision turned black!
— System Notification: You have died. You have lost 230,000 experience points and 2,312 gold coins. You will be resurrected in the nearest city …
The scene changed, and Dafei resurrected in Light City's teleportation portal. I'm back! This is the Return Scroll that players bring with them. It's simple but not simple!
"Sir! Sir is back! "The moment Dafei appeared, a group of consultants surrounded him in a panic.
Hey! I'm panicking too! Dafei asked hurriedly, "How's the situation?"
The military consultant replied in a panic, "It hasn't started yet. It's my dereliction of duty. I didn't notice the Evil Demons' movements around the Pond of Light. The Evil Demons have secretly assembled a large army and built a large wall at the edge of the Pond of Light to surround us. Their factories behind the wall are wantonly discharging pollutants into the Pond of Light. The entire Pond of Light has been polluted! "
Build a large wall! Dafei's eyes narrowed. F * ck! This isn't something an NPC can do, right? There's definitely a player messing with me! Is it a Dragon Slayer? Only a Dragon Slayer could do this, right?
At this moment, an unfamiliar high-pitched voice behind the crowd questioned coldly, "Are you the City Lord of Light City?"
The team of consultants immediately parted to make way, and a cold and arrogant elven officer in the uniform of a high-ranking lieutenant colonel appeared. Dafei was stunned. "This is?"
The military advisor hurriedly introduced, "This is a military observer sent by the kingdom's military. This lord will be assessing the progress of the city lord's war on the frontlines of the battlefield. He has the authority to directly dismiss, uh, directly propose to dismiss the city lord from his position as city lord!"
He was immediately removed from office! Directly propose to dismiss him???
Dafei was so shocked that his jaw dropped! Although he didn't know the difference between the two, and although he knew that the mission would be dismissed if he messed up, Dafei's balls were about to explode when he heard the word "dismissed" before the battle even started!
Are you kidding me! I've worked so hard to build this city to its current scale, and you're thinking of dismissing me before the war even begins? Even if the city was destroyed during the Open Beta, as long as the city was defended, the players would still be the Castellan!
Fine, anyway, it's a cooperative construction. If we disband, we'll have to go our separate ways. The architectural blueprints are all my private property. If you dare to dismiss me, I'll immediately take the blueprints away! The Murlocs only recognize me, not your kingdom. I'll take them all away. Don't even think about taking advantage of me! Oh right, there's also the Vine Demon Village. These beauties haven't officially joined us yet. I'll use my god-like reputation in their tribe to abduct them! As for the money invested, I'll just treat it as dismissing beggars! I can afford it, damn!
While he was in a daze, the military observer said coldly, "Mr. City Lord, in view of your past contributions, the kingdom will not pursue your dereliction of duty for the time being. Now that the demon army is pressing in, the World Tree is in danger under the corruption of the dark energy. Do you have a plan to deal with it?"
The military advisor immediately said, "Sir Observer, in my opinion, the demons have the ability to attack the city in the water. The reason why they built the city wall is actually because they're afraid of our counterattack, so their main tactic is to pollute. As you can see, the City Lord already has a plan to deal with it. The holy vines that the City Lord planted on the city wall, the sewers that we're building, and the Leviathan eggs that the City Lord put in are all purifying and absorbing the dark energy in the pollutants. The demons won't succeed so easily, especially the Leviathan. Once it hatches, the demons won't have a chance to go into the water … "
Dafei's eyebrows twitched. He knew that the Leviathan absorbed dark energy, and the sewers also had this purification function, but he didn't expect the holy vines to also absorb dark energy? Wouldn't that be a demonic vine? That's right, the attribute of the holy vines said that they could grow in any place except lava and ice, which meant that the holy vines could also absorb dark energy! Not bad, as expected of a parasitic plant, they're not picky! However, what would the fusion of the holy vines become?
The military observer waved his hand to stop the military advisor's endless chatter. "I want to listen to the City Lord's opinion."
F * ck! Didn't the advisor help me say what I know and what I don't know? What else can I say?
Dafei hurriedly smiled apologetically. "Sir Observer, please don't worry about this. The demons couldn't conquer the Pond of Light in the past, and they won't conquer it now, and they will never conquer it in the future!"
The observer clicked his tongue and said impatiently, "I'm not listening to this! Mr. Castellan, you should know your own situation. This was originally a war that could have been prevented, but because of Mr. Castellan's dereliction of duty, the situation has become so serious. What does it mean if the kingdom goes to war? It means that the City Lord is unable to control the situation, and it means that the kingdom will have to pay a huge price. Once the war is tragic, all the resentment and distrust will be concentrated on the City Lord. Even as an observer, it will be difficult for me to objectively evaluate the City Lord's contributions in the war! "
Dafei suddenly understood! In the end, it's because I'm a human, a sand in the eyes of the arrogant and xenophobic elves!
Dafei immediately said, "Sir Observer, what if I can control the situation and prevent this war from happening at all?"
The observer said calmly, "You finally understand! The World Tree is in a dormant state, and the kingdom is completely powerless and unwilling to fight this large-scale war deep underground! However, the war machine has already started, and the kingdom's armies will gather here in three days. Three days! You only have three days. If you can't control the situation in three days, the war will inevitably break out. At that time, your achievements as a City Lord can only be evaluated by the people! Alright, that's all I have to say. I have to return to the military headquarters to report the situation. I hope that the City Lord can continue his previous glorious achievements! "
After saying that, he went straight to the portal and disappeared.
F * ck! You want to prevent the war from happening, right? I'll talk to Boss Ma who slays dragons! F * ck! Talk my ass! Let's not talk about whether the players can control the situation now. At the very least, they have built such a big city wall, why should they stop? Maybe they know that I'm the City Lord here, so they're playing tricks on me! The big guilds don't care about personal relationships when they fight. Besides, I'm just selling hemorrhoid ointment to you. It can't be considered a deep friendship.
The military advisor quickly said, "City Lord, our only strategy now is to control the pollution situation within three days. As long as you continue to plant the Holy Vines and cultivate the slime monsters on a large scale, we may not lose. After all, the opponent's new dark matter requires a lot of resources to refine. Once the opponent can't hold on any longer, the initiative will naturally fall into our hands! "
"That makes sense!" Dafei said with a straight face.
Dafei quickly opened the City Panel to check the current situation:

。。。。。
The Underworld Treasury and Death Bell Tower were still under construction. The Hospital and School were already in operation. Of course, now wasn't the time to be concerned about this. The crucial point was that there were more than 1100 Slime Monsters in just one night! How shocking was the output! Indeed, the greater the pollution, the higher the output? But even so, the environmental situation of the entire city wasn't optimistic.
Under the accompaniment of the consultants, Dafei climbed up the city wall and looked around. Other than a small circle of water near Light City that was relatively clear in a grayish-black color, the rest of the city was pitch-black! How exaggerated was this? It was no wonder that the Kingdom of the Elves was so scared!
Outside the city, a huge black whirlpool suddenly formed where the Leviathan's egg was placed. The atmosphere was strange and shocking! Was this the rhythm of hatching? Would the egg hatch under such circumstances be an ordinary Level 8 Leviathan? Or an Elite Leviathan? Well, now wasn't the time to be shocked by the Leviathan.
The first step now was to stabilize the city's position! Dafei sighed, "The city's hygiene score is grim. We can only remove the Lich's Calamity."
The military consultant quickly said, "Sir, you can't. The Slime Monsters are actually spell-casting creatures. They are also affected by the Lich's Calamity which increases the output of spell-casting creatures by 20%. Now that we are dealing with the pollution, we must prioritize the output of the Slime Monsters!"
Dafei was stunned. The Slime Monsters are also spell-casting creatures? Dafei asked the health consultant, "What's your opinion?"
The health consultant said, "We must prioritize the overall situation. Once there is a plague, I will do my best to treat it!"
Dafei smiled bitterly, "It's rare for everyone to be on the same page."
The military consultant sighed, "Our fate is already related to you, sir. Once there is a change in Light City, we will not be able to assist you. I'm afraid that we won't be promoted for the rest of our lives. In the future, we can only be shop assistants or do small business."
Everyone sighed.
So that's why! Even NPCs know how to work hard, what reason do I have to not work hard? Since the Lich's Calamity can increase the output of the Slime Monsters, then I should do my best to develop the Slime Monsters! These 1000 Slime Monsters can't even protect the city. Indeed, I can't count on them to deal with the pollution in three days. What I want are the Boss Grade Slime Monsters that I met during the competition. Those Boss Grade Slime Monsters all have alchemy artifacts as their cores. I must get my hands on an alchemy artifact!
Where can I get an alchemy artifact? Makar! A God-ranked Mage must also be an outstanding alchemy warlock! Teacher Duke, this time you must do your best to save the students. Once the students fall, your great plan of dominating the mines will be ruined!
