Versatile: Alternate World

When the Simulated Village reappeared and the timer for the first wave appeared once again, I started to upgrade the walls to the max level, The max level of the walls is 20 and I only spent 50 thousand Horde coins to fully upgrade the whole thing.

Wall [Level 20]

Info: Made from the toughest steel, the walls are just too tough to break in a few hits easily. Even a lot of bullets would not dent it and it would take a few cannonballs before it will be damaged. Tailored to last long in sieges. To ensure its long-lasting endurance, it will continue to repair itself, healing 10,000 damage per second. Spikes are also added to ensure that climbers will have a thorny climb up to the top.

Note: This thicc wall will surely help you to till the end.

When I read the info, I didn't expect it to have self-repair abilities and on top of that, climbing monsters will also have a hard time dealing with the wall due to the thorns that damage any climbing cretins! This is overkill in the first few rounds where the monsters don't deal that much damage to the walls! Even if they managed to get into the walls, they can't break it down and even if we stand all day, they will not be destroyed at all!

Of course, that isn't the case in the later waves. 10,000 damage repaired every second would be not enough considering the enemies in the later rounds can easily shred through things so this should be for purely defensive purposes only.

After maximizing the walls, the next thing I did was to purchase the offensive towers and place them on the village. Since one tower is not enough, I bought 8 towers to defend all corners of the walls and spent 160 Horde coins.

When I purchased the towers and placed them, another tower unlocked and this time, it is not an attack tower but a freezing tower.

[Freezing Tower] [Level 1]

Info: Works similar to an attack tower. The difference is that they don't damage the enemies but slow down their movements. Their defenses will also fall for a bit. Slow effect and defense reduction effects will increase after it gets upgraded.

Horde coins needed to purchase a tower: 50 coins

Note:  Best replacement for refrigerators. Not only does it freeze the product you want to freeze, but it also freezes you and can even make you an ice sculpture in an instant.

...

Yep, this tower is not for freezing products since even I will get frozen if I do then doesn't that mean the refrigerator is much better?

Ahem...

I shouldn't take the notes too seriously. Whoever has written those things is a person with low humor or just someone who indirectly wants to insult other people.

However, these Freeze tower is also pretty good. Not only do they slow down enemies, but they can also reduce the defense values of any monster that got affected by the slow. In the later waves, monsters with high agility straight-up run towards the walls and we barely have enough time to take them down. Therefore, this thing is also a must-buy so that I can ensure that we get past wave 60.

It might be a bit expensive compared to the Attack tower but, understandably, they are costly.

Just like the Attack Tower, I bought 8 Freeze towers and place them next to the other attack towers. Now, for the upgrades. It didn't take too long for us before the coins I earned throughout the few failures, I didn't manage to upgrade all of them fully since it gets more expensive as I upgrade. But it isn't a bad thing since I managed to reach the upgrade level of all towers to level 8. It is far from the expected amount but since I have multiple towers to level, this is the only how far amount of Horde coins I accumulated so far.

"So the horde coins we earned for how many resets only managed to reach us this far? Isn't it a bit underwhelming compared to the amount we earned?" Lucia said as she looked at the result of the upgrades."

"We can't do anything about that, the upgrades are frigging expensive and we have a currency limit to earn. It's a bit bad design but what can we do about it? Besides, we are not here to last until the very final wave, we are here to last until the 60th wave to attack the boss monster."

"He is right, Lucia-sama. Even though it looks disadvantageous to us, it's not a bad thing and we even managed to survive until round 35 without upgrading. Now that we have additional firepower and our defense is much better than before, we have now a good chance to reach wave 60 with a higher rate," Atlas said.

"Atlas is right. And besides, once we fight against the hordes once again, we will earn another bunch of Horde Coins once again. It's not a bad thing and we can just use the earned coins to upgrade towers as soon as we got the right amount to upgrade them."

...

Since it is just 30 minutes before the first wave will arrive, we decided to rest for a bit and eat food before the next wave begins. It was a short rest and once the timer hits zero, the wave begins and we heard the goblins start to roar in the distance.

"Position everyone!"

We are quick at responding to our respective areas and before we can even arrive, we already saw a lot of dead bodies in the distance.

"Wha? Is this due to the Towers I installed?"

I opened the interface and check the Attack Tower's range and I was surprised since the previous range which was just the circular area around the tower, now extends towards the hill in the distance. It was a very wide range in level 8. So what if I upgrade it further to its max level? Will it get farther and stronger it can kill stronger enemies in one blow? I don't know, but it was worth trying once I get enough coins. Who knows, we might be able to reach the lair of the Foreign Being and use the towers to give additional damage to the bastard.

As for the enemies, I didn't have to do anything since before they could reach the usual area, they fell over and died. They can't even get the wall and die far from us which is kind of new.

The first wave ended without a hitch and the hobgoblin that was supposed to be the first challenge didn't even get to reach a few kilometers to the base. The Attack towers rained the green guy with arrows, killing him in the process.

...

Due to the unexpected outcome, the battles in the process were much easier compared to when we are fighting without a tower and wooden walls. Due to that, our progress was immediately effortless. We rarely have anything to do due to the tower doing all of the damage. Even if they get near, the Freeze Towers are slowing them down and before they can escape the Freeze Tower's debuff and assault, the Attack towers will immediately finish them all off.

It didn't take us too long to finish and get to wave 60 and finish it off. It was effortless.

...

"Alright, we have at least 7 hours to complete the final boss before wave 61 hits. Are you guys ready to hit the road and beat the slimy bastard as soon as we can?" I asked everyone.

"Yeah!"

"Then, we should prepare well. We only have one shot and if we lose in this one, we are obviously going to restart to the very beginning once more and we cannot do that since we will have to start over again and this time, minus the money. So we can't afford to do that unless you guys really want to keep staying here. Our only option here is to win, nothing more, nothing less. And remember, no one will die under my watch. If anyone of you guys ever dare to do the "sacrifice for the sake of the people" move on me I will not bother to recognize it. Everyone should survive.

With the help of Leona, we didn't have to walk back all the way and just fly straight to the lair of the Foreign Being. It was convenient and we saved enough time.

"Is that the lair you guys are talking about, Master?" Goro then pointed out the broken cavern and a mass of wriggling abomination.

"Yuck...what the heck is that?" Lucia was disgusted by the sight of the Foreign Being. Even though we are far from the lair, we can already hear the wriggling noise the tentacles make, making Lucia cringe in disgust.

"Yep, now that I am seeing it personally, confirmed, this needed to be killed as soon as possible! As the Demon Princess, we have to destroy this ugly thing and erase it to the face of the planet!"
