Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 91 Thomas the Builder (Sixth Update)

now!

This small wooden cart, with the wooden planks tied to it, would break several bones if it were hit while rushing down at this speed.

These three were bandits, not regular soldiers, so naturally they would try to dodge to the left or right.

Li Wei had been waiting for this moment!
His understanding of space and angles is beyond what others can comprehend; in layman's terms, he has a strong sense of space and incredibly sharp eyesight!

His current 10-point agility has brought him stability and balance, and the parkour he has been practicing over the past period of time has further enhanced his abilities.

So in that instant, Li Weiyi shouted to Leon to steady himself, and suddenly rushed onto the wooden cart. He threw a round shield at a bandit who was leading two other bandits in an orderly dodge, and who seemed to be the leader of the gang!
Li Wei wasn't afraid of anything, even moving targets, within a distance of less than fifteen meters.

Don't even think about escaping!

Even with a shield, it was no use; the wooden spear pierced right through his left neck and emerged from his right ribs.

The power of this spear is unimaginable!

At the same time, this spear also completely destroyed the fighting will of the other two bandits!

When the two bandits directly in front of him, their faces and heads splattered with blood, dropped their weapons and fled in a panic, the chain reaction was enormous.

Especially when Li Wei turned around with his bow and arrow in hand, the two bandits to the north were the first to give in.

Although they still had six men, and although the opposing side seemed to have only one capable archer.

But can that be the same?

They exchanged a glance, then without saying a word, they joined together and retreated south.

Yes, it was a retreat, not a rout.

Of course, they could tell that of the four people on Li Wei's side, only one was capable of fighting.

If they can get close enough, it's not certain who will die.

However, neither of them could accept that they would die first.

Because so far, Li Wei has never missed a shot.

If the arrow comes out, you will die!
"Leon, go meet Mom. Sis, you take over pushing the stroller."

Li Wei spoke calmly, but in reality, his physical strength was almost exhausted. He relied entirely on defeating the bandits in front of him; otherwise, he wouldn't have had the strength to escape.

My only remaining strength is enough to maintain this last shred of dignity.

Soon, Lyon brought back Fira, who was acting like a madwoman, and the four bandits retreated more than two hundred meters. They then joined the two bandits who were terrified and collapsed. They headed towards the camp entrance, hoping that their allies could capture it. Once they took the castle, the future was uncertain.
But as soon as they approached, they saw Thomas dragging an axe in one hand, covered in blood, and charging out like a bloodthirsty butcher, with a bandit fleeing in disarray ahead.

When he reunited with the six bandits, he finally mustered up some courage and prepared to launch a counterattack.

Penny pushed the wooden cart over again, carrying Li Wei. Li Wei held a bow and arrow, and even without making any move, he sent a chill down the spines of the bandits. There was nothing they could do; admitting defeat was not a shameful thing!
With a whoosh, the seven robbers turned tail and ran, never daring to look back.

At this moment, Li Wei and Thomas collapsed to the ground, and even Leon and Penny only had the strength to gasp for breath. Fila could only lie in the grass, as if she were in a trance.

This was extremely dangerous!

Thomas is playing with fire; he's courting death!

Now look what happened, Margaret has ruined herself.

At this moment, lines of information arrived, essentially signaling the end of the battle.

You won this battle by a hair's breadth. The attacking bandits suffered heavy casualties and fled in panic, but you were unable to give chase. This will sow the seeds of future troubles, but at least for now, you have won.

Thomas, the patriarch of the family, fought valiantly, single-handedly taking on ten men in a dire situation. He held the city walls, blocking enemy forces at the camp entrance and slaying six bandits. His courage and actions somewhat mitigated his guilt, but this does not justify his brutal and tyrannical behavior. He must bear responsibility for the death of his family member, Margaret, and will be punished. He will not receive any family contribution in this battle, but he will remain the patriarch until the end of the month.

[Family member George was calm and decisive, actively directing the other members to launch an effective attack on the invading bandits using the tools and weapons at hand. With the cooperation of other family members, he successfully killed four elite bandits. His contribution is obvious to all, and his title of Family Protector has been upgraded once again. After wearing it, he will receive an 80-point contribution bonus, and he will also receive a reward of 60 points of family contribution.]

[Family member Penny remained calm and composed, actively cooperating with George to secure two assist kills. She will receive 10 family contribution points.]

[Family member Leon remained calm and composed, actively cooperating with George to secure two assist kills; he will receive 15 family contribution points.]

[Family member Fila, despite her poor performance, successfully reported enemy positions and secured a kill, earning her 5 family contribution points.]

[Warning: There is no evidence that the bandits will not hold a grudge or will not gather their forces to attack again. Please be prepared for battle at any time.]

[Friendly reminder: All loot from this battle will be collected and distributed upon completion of the mission.]

-

You have gained 60 contribution points, bringing your total contribution to 420 points (after equipping the Family Protector title).

[You have gained 400 hunting experience points, bringing your current total to 595.]

"Waaah! Margaret, my dear friend, why have you left me?"

Outside the camp, Penny was crying so hard she looked like a baby. Not far away, Margaret's body was buried, turning into a small mound. Next to it, in another mound, lay the family's adoptive father, Anson.

Thomas remained silent, his eyes gleaming like two will-o'-the-wisps.

Margaret wasn't really dead, of course, but she was probably Thomas's close friend. After all, the way they both worked this month to finish the stone wall construction was truly admirable.

I wonder what this guy plans to do next?

There are only seven days left in this month.

Anyway, Li Wei and the others won't complete the main quest.

The group sat down in the camp or on the city wall, taking turns patrolling and resting. The bandits could launch a surprise attack at any time, so no one dared to waste time.

Oh, besides Li Wei, he also had the mood to weed the wheat field.

The two acres of winter wheat are growing very well and are expected to be ready for harvest in just over a month, around the beginning of summer.

This is so awesome!

Those two acres of ordinary wheat are not bad, but I'm a little worried. The winter wheat has been harvested, so what should I plant next?
If Li Wei remembers correctly, you can't grow a single crop on the same piece of land for a long time; you have to rotate crops. Unfortunately, for the time being, he doesn't even have seeds for other crops.

After weeding the wheat field, Li Wei then repaired the irrigation canal to divert water for irrigation. After finishing all this, Li Wei went to the city wall to bask in the sun and watch Thomas's peep show.

Yes, Fila, Penny, Leon, and Li Wei have been watching, observing, and waiting for Thomas to work himself to death with a strange tacit understanding these past few days.

Honestly, this is exactly what they're hoping for right now.

Thomas is working too hard.

I don't know if Margaret's death had too much of a shock to Thomas, but he was so thin and shaky that he looked like he could be blown away by a gust of wind. Yet he just wouldn't rest. He would work without saying a word every day, eating and then going to work for fifteen hours straight without fail.

To be honest, this behavior is really too surreal.

How much of his life potential is worth squeezing out like this?

For a title, what title is so valuable?

It has been almost seven months since Thomas arrived last fall, and he has lost at least thirty years of his life.

Each time, Li Wei thought Thomas wouldn't make it to the next day, but Thomas would still show up shakily the next day, working as if he were still alive!

And so, day after day passed, and the bandits did not launch a counterattack, but Thomas was indeed close to completing the construction of the stone wall.

As evening fell on the last day of the month, Li Wei, Penny, Fila, and Leon stood at the camp entrance, watching Thomas and his team still frantically filling the city walls with earth under the setting sun. Thomas looked like a stick figure at that moment.

The setting sun cast his shadow long and eerily long, as if Margaret's ghost were helping to dig the earth.

However, he did manage to build this stone wall, which is 180 meters in circumference and inlaid with gravel and clay, although there is no city gate yet.

"Ahahahaha!"

As the sun set completely, Thomas let out a hoarse laugh like an owl. He collapsed against the stone wall, seemingly both crying and laughing.

Almost simultaneously, several lines of information appeared in front of everyone.

[After seven months of work and with everyone's help, professional warrior *** successfully built a level 2 city wall. He was awarded the special title "City Builder." Wearing this title grants an additional 10 points of defense if equipped with heavy armor, and an additional 10% chance to trigger a one-second stun. This effect cannot be stacked with other titles.]

[The professional warrior has been granted the right to change his name; from now on, "Thomas the Builder" will be his unique codename.]

[The Builder Thomas has completed his mission in this world and will leave this world in 10 seconds.]

[Note: It is permissible for Builder Thomas to complete the title quest in this world. After this month's monthly summary, new players will join the family, and their identities will be confirmed based on the results of the monthly summary. Similar situations may occur in the future.]

-

Lying trough,

No wonder Thomas worked so hard; it turns out he really did it to get the corresponding title, and he really is a defensive specialist.

That's a really cool title!

Li Wei and the others were shocked and filled with complex emotions as they watched Thomas disappear from the city wall, enveloped in a cloud of gray mist.
