The battle had not ended. After blasting the intruder who had broken into his territory, Mu Yuan held his breath and quickly issued orders.
A group of Skeleton Warriors immediately took bundles of Scrolls of Magic from various storage points. Under his meticulous manipulation, the scrolls titled ‘Ground Hardening1 were torn one by one, letting their power take effect on every inch of the territory.
Yellowish lights bloomed, one beam after another.
In just a few tens of seconds, Mu Yuan had used more than twenty Scrolls of Earth-hardening, hardening all the earth within the territory’s wall, including the excavated cellars below.
Tens of meters deep below, the geology had now become much harder.
This effect was temporary, but sufficient for a single battle.
The two holes within the territory wall were also quickly filled and compacted.
After managing these issues, he looked outside and noticed that Undead and Duo Lai, along with other generals, had killed most of the enemies. Only a few Man Niu Soldiers were still struggling.
Now, it would take the fastest monsters from the far-off Monster Tide at least 20 to 30 seconds to reach the battlefield.
Man Niu Soldiers:”???”
It seemed that the Earth-hardening Scrolls had taken effect. Transport Worms could no longer tunnel out from within the territory. The following worms appeared one after another outside the dirt wall and were met with charged Bone Spears as soon as they showed half their bodies.
These sharp spears, filled with tremendous energy, viciously punctured the giant worms, spewing juices and monster blood alike.
Some professional-level monsters inside the worms were pierced through their vital points by the Bone Spears, and died unceremoniously.
Nothing was going according to the plan.
Why hadn’t the human territory descended into chaos?
Far away, beneath the red fog, deep in the dense forest.
Several figures sat coiled on tall branches, their lower bodies like Pythons and upper bodies human. They watched over the brightly lit human territory from afar.
Five snake men, their eyes burning red, constantly hissed in agitation. The difficulty of resisting an impulse born from their bodies and souls was apparent, longing to rush into the human territory and cause chaos.
But they were restrained by the Snake man Chief.
The Ghost Chief watched in confusion as well.
It had been observing for a while.
When the Goblin Army appeared, it wanted to rise and take revenge, trampling the human territory. However, it possessed wisdom beyond the snakes and quickly suppressed its inner impatience.
Indeed, it was right to stay calm. Those Goblins were indeed weak and couldn’t even break down the gate of the human territory.
If that was its Snake man tribe, his … Oh, his tribe was no more.
The Ghost Chief clenched his fists and continued to wait. His patience soon paid off. When he saw the Transportation Worms appear, he almost swung his fists in triumph.
“Those underground tribes … As expected, they too have their eyes set on the human territory.”
“This is guaranteed!”
“…. Damn it!”
The head of the Ghost Chief decided to continue monitoring for a while.
At this time, the Tianyuan Territory had resolved its ‘internal threats’, but the situation remained perilous.
The arriving horde of monsters outside was too numerous. It was as if several tribes had brought multiple times their number of monsters, rushing towards the territory like a chaotic tide, crashing and toppling everything in its path.
In the depths of the horde, a tall, dark-skinned figure rode on a Gray Shadow Leopard, swaying as it rushed forward.
More than half of her pupils were blood-red.
Rationality told her that even if they could conquer the human territory, their tribe would suffer substantial losses, giving an undue advantage to other monsters. However, the closer she got to the human territory, the more the bloodshot veins in her eyes spread and the demonic voices in her head pushed her forward.
She might have been able to resist, but her confidants and soldiers couldn’t.
Staring at the distant territory, her eyes flickered, “Attack!”
Boom!
The dirt wall, covered in battle scars and relics, finally began to crumble.
The Imperial Guard, desperately trying to hold back the breaches in the wall, was forced to withdraw.
The waves of monsters started to flood into the territory, fighting bitterly with Skeleton Warriors, Silver Slimes, Imperial Guards, and various troops.
Duo Lai, his body hardened and enveloped in bright lightning, continuously fought within the Monster Tide.
He pushed them back, he came down with his palm, he moved in and out seven times.
However, there were just too many monsters, and to add to the complication, many were high-rank monsters. Duo Lai felt that he had killed at least two hundred, yet the enemy numbers did not seem to lessen. And he was gradually getting overwhelmed by the power of Thunderbolt, his whole body scorched black. The steel in his body would shatter and then reform, his wounds would rip open and then heal with difficulty.
In the Mage Tower, with its doors and windows tightly shut, Mu Yuan was just as tense.
He focused his entire concentration on controlling the defensive buildings and the numerous troops under his command, constantly using the Hurricane War Hawks and his territory’s vision to seek out high-rank enemies within the monster tide.
The lights from the Mage Tower and the Arrow Tower kept bombarding relentlessly.
Those professional-level enemies who had fallen under Lord Shepherd’s command were beyond six in number!
However, there were just too many monsters. Without a city wall to withstand the surge of monsters, Tianyuan Territory was left vulnerable. If the battle continued, while he could eradicate this batch of monsters, a large number of them would invade the inner parts of his territory and cause significant damages.
When he saw the monsters break through the dirt wall and rush into the territory, the Ghost Chief vaguely saw an opportunity.
“It’s time.”
Just as he was about to leave, the already dim landscape turned even darker. Gusty winds blew past, carrying the wailing of countless ghosts. The dense aura of death converged and formed a visible black wave, making the ground churn.
Within Tianyuan Territory, the General Dead Bone, guarded by three Imperial Guards, lifted the Wailing Death high into the air.
The death aura stored within it roared out, connecting the sky and the earth, like a black dragon enveloping everything.
The blue glow in the Dead Bone’s eyes brightened, shining like two stars in the dark night.
It called out.
Countless undead responded and came forth.
Skeleton Warriors crawled out of the black surge; phantom-like figures emerged from the darkness one after another; even massive abominations with bodies resembling sewn together pieces of flesh marched out from portals that looked like the gate to the underworld, sweeping everything in their path.
At this moment, this place belonged to the undead.
They reveled in frenzy.
It was akin to a coronation ceremony.
The Ghost Chief’s eyes widened, “Wait a little more, no, I can’t stay in this place anymore!”
He utilized his superior snakelike wisdom to strategically retreat.
Wangba Territory.
Two and a half hours ago,
Wanf Erteng stared at the high-altitude billboard with full confidence, “I will stand above all.
One and a half hours ago,
Wanf Erteng’s face was solemn, “Lord Tianyuan… It’s no wonder he could exceed me and top the Golden List. He is not to be underestimated. If I want to truly overtake him, I might need to take a bit of risk.”
He took out a strange flower from the warehouse.
The bizarre plant named ‘Misfortune Charm Flower’ would, once it was burnt, spread a unique fragrance that would entice waves of monsters to charge forth relentlessly.
Wanf Erteng lit it.
A half-hour ago,
The unending tide of monsters continued to assault Wangba Territory wave after wave.
At this moment,
The city walls here had collapsed, several arrow towers had been destroyed, and the main troops had suffered heavy casualties.
Wanf Erteng, however, didn’t care about these. His gaze was fixated on the Hanging Sky Golden List, almost popping out his eyeballs.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
But reality lay bare before him, and it wasn’t just bad luck.
He looked off into the distance, sighed in resignation.
“If Yuan were not born, why then Wang?”
The Trial Battle was coming to a close. This year was harsher than usual, and most of the new lords could no longer pay attention to the Trial Golden List. They were fully focused on their territories, gritting their teeth, controlling their troops, and trying to reinforce the breaking or already broken defenses.
Tattered troops and monsters were locked in deadly combats.
From time to time, some troops would fall, cutting off their connection completely.
It seemed like their territories might be swallowed by the monster tide at any moment.
Suddenly,
The pressure was suddenly gone. No new monsters emerged, and the old ones started scattering and fleeing. The monster tide began to thin out.
Outside the domain, the red fog visibly dissipated at a rapid pace. Strips of golden dawn light pierced through the heavy clouds, casting their glow upon the earth.
After a long and grueling battle that lasted for two days and three nights, the newbies finally saw…
Dawn..
