Chapter 2: Defending the Country Alone? Is This a Joke?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This Tower Defense Survival game’s live broadcast started officially.

The entire world was in an uproar.

In Country M.

Countless netizens were anxiously posting comments in the live-stream.

After a while, the live-stream room belonging to Country M was filled with words.

“Damn it, why wasn’t I chosen!”

“We have to hold on to this round!”

“How many people in Country M will die if the defense fails?”

“F*ck!”

“Everyone, you have to have confidence in the contestants from Country M. How could a civilization that has survived a few rounds of Tower Defense die in a Tower Defense game!”

“Did you guys notice that these rules appeared after the Country M players activated the game!”

“This means that our Country M’s contestants are a huge step ahead of others.”

“Wow, it’s a good start. Country M’s contestants are impressive!”

“Country M player, impressive!”

“Country M player, impressive!”

…..

As the broadcast of the over twenty thousand participants ended, the Country M netizens began to realize that something was wrong.

Our Country M…

Why was there only one contestant?!

“WTH! Is this a bug, why is there only one Country M player?!”

“No, f*ck, that can’t be?”

“I’ve noted down all the participants in Country M. There’s indeed only one contestant named Pierce.”

“What the f*ck???”

“This… the Gods want to destroy our Country M!”

“Can’t we select again? Why does our Country M only have one player? I protest!”

“Blossoms Country’s people are already holding a nationwide celebration after seeing only one contestant from Country M.”

“This Tower Defense game must have some serious bugs!?”

“F*ck, one person is going to defend the country???”

In the Tower Defense world.

Various cities were displayed before Pierce.

That was the compensation given to him by the Tower Defense Survival.

Other people would be given randomly generated cities, while he could choose by himself.

Desert City, Underwater City, Rainforest City…

The images of the city floated before his eyes.

Pierce looked at the cities with a troubled expression.

Because the cities were too random.

Every city had its own pros and cons.

It was really not easy to choose.

[Desert City, there are many monsters below the desert. Who would choose it?]

While Pierce was struggling, the golden words appeared before him again.

There are monsters under the desert?

Pierce’s eyes lit up.

This golden prompt was really a good thing.

At the thought of this, Pierce concentrated on opening each image.

[Underwater City? No way, could someone really be so unlucky to be sent there to die?!]

[Mountaintop City? Won’t you fall to death? It’s a torture for acrophobics.]

…

[The city on the plains can provide daily necessities and you can grow food. Also, it’s surrounded by mountains on three sides which makes it easy to defend but hard to attack.]

Stopping his fingers that were slightly numb from flipping through the images, Pierce finally saw a valuable city.

In the Tower Defense world, there were very few people who were able to get a city on the plains. Most of them started in the desert.

“I choose this city.”

Pierce said.

A burst of white light enveloped his body and he was teleported into the plains.

At the same time, in the real world, the live-stream also changed from showing the number of participants to a visual perspective of the participants.

On the boundless plains, the long green grass fluttered with the wind.

Before Pierce’s eyes was a tall city covered in vines.

Two words were carved on it.

“Country M”

In the live streaming channel.

“Oh my god, starting in the plains!”

“The neighboring Blossoms Country started in the desert LOL.”

“F*ck LOL, what can a single person do in Tower Defense!?”

“Yo, contestant Pierce, surrender!”

“If demons and ghosts pop up here, do you believe I will blow your head up?”

“Good lord, is it too late for me to change my nationality now?”

“??? What’s wrong with this guy? Why isn’t he entering the city but walking into the forest?!”

“D*mn, ignore those trolls. We can’t give up on ourselves!!”

“Come back!”

Pierce did not pay attention to the comments on the live-stream. Now he was sure what the Tower Defense’s notification meant.

He was the only one of Country M who had come to participate!?

The live-stream was filled with comments, all trying to persuade him not to despair.

Pierce was looking at the golden hint as he headed toward the forest directly opposite the city.

[There is a stone in the forest ahead. It might be very useful for the Tower Defense!]

Pierce watched as the golden words floated past. Under the bewildered gazes of the viewers, he stepped into the forest.

About three minutes later.

A fist-sized stone was buried in the soil, revealing only its surface.

Was this the stone that the golden words hinted at?

As he thought about it, Pierce prepared to dig it out.

But everyone in the live broadcast room was instantly dumbfounded.

“No, what are you doing?”

“Let me show everyone how I can dig rocks with my bare hands!”

“What? Collecting rocks to guard the tower?”

“Does this young man not know that there are weapons and arrows in the city?”

“Stop cursing. It’s not easy to defend the city alone. By the way, I’m from Country G. I just changed my nationality!”

“Brother above, how much does it cost to change nationality? I’m preparing to do it too.”

“F*ck, can’t you guys be more confident in your compatriot?”

“Brother, I really don’t have any confidence in one man Tower Defense when compared to a hundred people Tower Defense!”

“The country is about to perish. Who would have thought that there was only one candidate from Country M!”

The audience in the live-stream exploded. The upper echelons of Country M naturally did not have it easy, and they had already called for an emergency meeting.

It was the same for over 200 other countries.

After all, this was a silent battle that would change the fate of the countries.

In a conference room in the capital of Country M, many upper echelons gathered together to discuss the situation.

There were many people seated around a long round table. All of them had grave expressions on their faces. From time to time, they would reveal bitter expressions.

The old man in the lead who was in a military uniform looked at Pierce’s profile picture and fell silent.

Country M’s flag.

It had only flashed past his body.

Could this really be the end of Country M?

The old man turned around and looked at his silent colleagues around the round table. He said softly and solemnly,

“One person defending the country.”

“The only thing we can do is to mobilize the entire country!”
