Since entering the second month of the Evil Moon Period, the City of Hope has rarely been attacked by fierce beasts again, and even the fierce beasts that have broken into the Earth Dragon Valley have become scarce.

During this time, Meng Chen built five new quarries near the Northwest Stone Mountain Quarry, and built a stone road connecting the warehouse to the Northwest Quarry.

In order to solve the transportation problem, Meng Chen increased the number of coachmen in the City of Hope to 100 people, transporting quarried white quality stone by trolley.

Not only that, Meng Chen also sent 50 lumberjacks to cut down white-quality trees in the Dilong Valley to prepare for the upcoming promotion of the city.

On the fiftieth day of the Evil Moon, the infrastructure of the third area of the inner city was finally completed.

At the same time, all 16 garden nurseries planned by Meng Chen have been completed.

At this time, the Civilization of the City of Hope reaches 100 points, and finally meets the Civilization requirements of the city's promotion.

Today, the City of Hope has a total of 5,080 units of wood (white), 4,960 units of stone (white) and 332 units of metal (white) in the six warehouses in the City of Hope.

As for Meng Chen's resource space, he has 50,280 gold coins, 56 soul power, 6,940 grain (gray/white), 102/1000 wood (gray/green), 100/1000 stone (gray), and 2/1000 metal (green).

"The white quality resources in the warehouse fully meet the construction cost of the 2nd level town hall, and you can finally start the city promotion!" Meng Chen said excitedly.

After leaving the town hall, Meng Chen immediately gave the order to build a second-level city hall through the light curtain in his mind.

"Ding-dong! The city civilization value is 100 points, which meets the requirements of the city promotion! ”

"Gold - 3000, Wood (white) - 900, Stone (white) - 900, Metal (white) - 90, start building the Town Hall (2nd tier)! After 72 hours, the construction was complete! ”

Originally, building a 2nd tier town hall required 1000 units of wood (white), 1000 units of stone (white), and 100 units of metal (white), but because it was upgraded on the original building, the consumption of white quality resources was reduced by 10%.

With a faint white light flickering, there were nine hundred square meters of wood (white), nine hundred square stones (white), and ninety tons of metal (white) in the open and flat ground.

Under the effect of the invisible force field, the first-level town hall began to disassemble rapidly, and the wood, stone and metal that appeared out of thin air began to automatically deform, levitate, and splic, gradually building the appearance of a new town hall.

The construction of the second-level town hall will take three days, and Meng Chen secretly said in his heart: "The detection map cannot be used in these three days, I hope there will be no accidents." ”

Two days have passed, and there is only one day left before the completion of the second-level town hall.

On this day, Meng Chen was inspecting the inner city, and suddenly in the distant sky, there was a melodious cry.

Chirp~!

Meng Chen was shocked in his heart and suddenly looked at the sky.

I saw a big bird appear in the distant skyline, and it was flying towards the southern direction of the Earth Dragon Valley at this moment.

As the big bird approached, its appearance became clearer and larger.

It was a large bird with blood-red and pale blue feathers, with a wingspan of more than 30 meters and a body length of nearly 15 meters, with a long lilac crest standing above its head.

The name of this big bird is Thundercrested Eagle!

"Avian beasts? This is a big problem! Meng Chen secretly said that it was not good.

Meng Chen immediately issued an order, "From now on, the City of Hope will enter a state of red alert, all citizens will immediately hide in nearby buildings, and all soldiers will be ready to deal with the attack of fierce beasts!" ”

"Yes! Your Lord! Citizens and soldiers responded one after another.

After receiving the order, Alfred and Ellie immediately organized the soldiers to form an air defense front.

Meng Chen stood on the stairs of the city hall, looked at the big bird in the sky with an ugly face, and said secretly in his heart: "The big bird is so huge, it must be a powerful beast!" But...... How can a ferocious beast be active during the day, and doesn't it need to be dormant? ”

With the current way the City of Hope fights, it is almost impossible to defend itself against ferocious beast attacks from the sky.

The three-bow bed crossbow has a limited range of fire and flexibility, and it is difficult to threaten the fierce beasts in the air.

Alfred's attack range is insufficient, making it difficult to attack beasts in the air.

The Marksman's attack power is too weak, and even with the Darkiron Arrow and the giant Earth Dragon Venom, it is difficult to inflict fatal damage on the beast.

Chirp~!

A long cry rang out, and the Thundercrested Eagle swiped its left flank slightly, swooping down from due south toward the inner city.

Alfred's eyes flickered, and he immediately ordered: "All shooters...... Shoot now! ”

Sou! Sou! Sou......

A series of sharp arrows broke through the air, and hundreds of archers shot arrows at the Thunder Crested Eagle.

In the face of the rapid rain of arrows, the Thunder Crested Eagle flapped its wings.

Whew~!

Pale blue shimmers flickered, and violent wind pressure appeared out of thin air, blowing hundreds of arrows away in unison.

Only a few dozen Darkiron Arrows that triggered the Demon Breaking trait could continue to shoot towards the Thunder Crown Eagle in the air.

However, due to the limited strength of the Tier 2 and Tier 3 marksmen, it was powerless to face the Thunder Crested Eagle in the air.

The Darkiron Arrows that triggered the trait were all blocked by the Thundercrested Eagle's wings, and none of the Darkiron Arrows could break through the defense.

Seeing this, Meng Chen sighed: "Attacking a target at a height of two hundred meters is still too reluctant for the current shooter. ”

Being shot by dozens of dark iron arrows, although it did not cause any damage, there was still a trace of displeasure in the eyes of the Thunder Crested Eagle.

Chirp!

A sharp cry sounded, and the lilac crown on the head of the Thundercrested Eagle emitted a blue-white electric light.

Cracking sound! Cracking sound!

Two blue-white lightning bolts in a row instantly slashed towards the shooters of the air defense front.

Yes! Yes!

Two screams rang out, and the two sharpshooters who were struck by lightning immediately lit up with blue and white lightning.

At the same time, the huge heat carried by the blue-white lightning ignited the fabric and hair on the body of the marksman.

Cracking sound! Cracking sound! Cracking sound......

The Thunder Crested Eagle hovering over the inner city, a trace of pleasure flashed in its sharp pupils, and it continued to cast blue and white lightning to slash at the shooters in the inner city.

In less than twenty breaths, a total of more than a dozen shooters were scorched by the blue-white lightning.

"I can only be beaten passively, and I can't resist at all!" Meng Chen sighed helplessly.

It's a pity that the Thunder Crested Eagle is hovering at an altitude of two hundred meters, and Alfred on the ground can't reach it at all.

Seeing that the Thunder Crowned Eagle was still wreaking havoc in the air, Meng Chen, who couldn't bear it, shouted: "The soldiers of the inner city area hid in the building, attracted the big bird to the low air, and attacked with the bed crossbow on the city wall!" ”

After receiving Meng Chen's order, the soldiers immediately scattered to find a place to hide.

The soldiers on the four walls began to push the three-bow bed crossbow and aimed the attack at the city.
