Chapter 35
Poor Wanwan and Her Cheating Hero
“We’re finished! The three Lords have challenged me!” Su Wan was anxious.
Xu Yuan, the perpetrator, was sleeping soundly again.
“Xu Yuan! Wake up! You are the one who caused this! Wake up!” Su Wan shook the Xu Yuan awake.
She didn’t expect him to have any solutions, but she didn’t want to let him sleep peacefully seeing how he had caused all of this.
Su Wan was furious. She didn’t have a good life, but with Xu Yuan by her side, her life was bound to get worse.
At the very least, she didn’t want to let him sleep peacefully. She shook him awake.
[Congratulations to the hero for gaining experience in the depth of darkness!]
The voice rang pleasant and clear in Xu Yuan’s mind. But the beautiful voice was interrupted by Su Wan.
“What are you doing? I am absorbing experience right now!”
Xu Yuan flapped his wings and flew away from Su Wan into a tree and continued sleeping. Su Wan couldn’t reach the top of the tree.
“Detestable!” Su Wan kicked the tree. “Ow! Ow! It hurts!” She grabbed her toes.
When she realized what he had said, her angry face relaxed and was replaced by surprise. “Experience?” she muttered.
Su Wan raised her head and looked at Xu Yuan who was sleeping soundly.
“Absorbing experience points? This lazy bum was clearly sleeping…,” Su Wan muttered. “Hmph! I knew this b*stard wasn’t as simple as he looked.”
Su Wan felt that she was a little closer to understanding her mysterious initial hero, Xu Yuan.
“How can my hero ever be simple?!” Su Wan felt better. But before she could feel the joy of discovering this, she got the news that the three Lors had sent their allied armies to fight her.
“Skeleton Knights, block the front!”
“Hellhounds, defend the back!”
“Dark Goblins, set up a trap! Golden Behemoths, go move the rocks to block the passage!”
Su Wan commanded them one by one.
Su Wan was currently in a valley that was encircled by mountains and had only one passage as entrance. As long as Su Wan blocked the only passage, they could guard it.
“It’s a game now. They can’t waste time on me. They’ll give up if they can’t take me down in a short time. When they are engaged in attacking me, their territories will be defenseless to the other Lords.”
Su Wan, who had calmed down, issued all kinds of orders very decisively. At that moment, people were watching everything in the Star Academy public square.
“Student Su Wan is worthy of being valued by the Dean. Evenwhile being attacked by the other Lords, she faces them so calmly.”
“If it were any other new student, I’m afraid they would have already lost their composure!”
In the public square, a huge screen was showing the situation in the simulated arena.
Xu Yuan had captured the three-headed, which had arrived to deliver the news of the alliance. Everyone felt that there was injustice against Su Wan.
“Su Wan is really exceptional! She can still instruct her troops and make plans despite being the target of three seniors!”” A bespectacled male student complimented her.
Another male student clenched his fists. He stared at the sleeping Xu Yuan on the screen with contempt.
“It’s all because of that b*stard! It’s him who framed Su Wan!”
“If it wasn’t for that hero, Su Wan should have already joined forces with other Lords and defeated the strongest contestants one by one, setting a new record for the academy!”
The students were all in a serious discussion.
The majority of responses were criticisms of Su Wan’s initial hero. Everyone believed that Su Wan was duped by her own hero and put in this predicament.
Su Wan’s three best friends were no exception. They talked about the issue as well.
“Poor Wanwan. How did she meet such a cheating hero? She is in big trouble now.” Shi Linglong was worried about Su Wan.
Zhao Qingrong nodded in agreement.
No matter how one looked at it, Su Wan’s performance this time was excellent. She had calmly observed her surroundings and made strategic arrangements. She had made plans to work with other Lords to deal with the stronger Lords.
After being tricked by her hero and being put into this situation, she still had calmly deployed her troops to defend the passageway.
Even as a new student, she had done very well.
Lin Yao was staring intently at the screen but didn’t give an opinion. “Yaoyao, don’t you think Wanwan’s hero is infuriating?” Shi Linglong grabbed Lin Yao’s arm and gently shook it.
Lin Yao didn’t answer for a long time. She gently shook her head and said, “Let’s look at the situation very carefully first. Wanwan’s hero isn’t that simple. Maybe he had his reason for doing that.”
…
On the screen, because of the war, only the most exciting scenes were shown.
The armies of the three Lords had already arrived outside the valley.
The Skeleton Knights blocked the path at the narrow entrance.
However, the three Overlords had a large number of troops!
Human Knights, Dwarven Musketeers, Half-Elf Archers…
The three Lords were all seniors to Su Wan, so they had plenty of time to develop their troops and build their foundation. Su Wan couldn’t compare to them in terms of numbers of troops or the type of soldiers.
Furthermore, the three Overlords were working together!
The Skeleton Knights on the front lines perished one after another as a result of the barbarians’ gunfire. The traps that the Dark Goblin had placed could not buy much time.
BOOM!
BOOM!
Under Su Wan’s command, the Golden Behemoths threw large boulders one after the other to block the entrance.
“I hope that I can buy some time!”
While stalling for time, Su Wan consumed the resources given at the start of the competition to resurrect the Skeleton Knights and the Hellhounds.
But at this moment, the valley started to shake! The roar echoed throughout the valley!
“That’s the Earth Dragon Cavalry!”
Su Wan was in despair. The Earth Dragon Cavalry charged forward one after another, knocking away the rocks blocking the entrance of the passageway.
“The front line has fallen!”
Su Wan’s palms were sweaty. ‘This is the end! Will there be a miracle?’
Su Wan subconsciously glanced at the snoring Xu Yuan.
She hadn’t lost yet. She wished for the Black Gold Behemoths to appear or even just the black Skeleton Knights! But nothing happened. There was no black mist this time.
However, the Skeleton Knights did resurrect. She had not used any resources to revive them and yet the dead Skeleton Knights were resurrected automatically!
