Chapter 35: The Lord’s Tactics
If Qin Keqing resembled a floating little fairy,
holding the “Mirror of Love and Desire,”
freezing everything around her with a mere wave of her hand,
then Lin Daiyu was akin to a “human missile,” darting with incredible speed and unleashing Bajiquan with each swift movement,
each punch accompanied by resounding booms.
While it may not appear as visually spectacular as Explosive Fire Magic,
its lethality and efficiency far surpassed it!
One punch, and down went a whole section.
Even the elite Doom Beasts, known for their tough hides,
strong enough to endure defense towers and reach the wooden walls,
were no match for Lin Daiyu’s fists.
Without hesitation, they fell in heaps.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
She moved with blinding speed,
transforming into a phantom. No ordinary eye could keep up!
Only the corpses of the elite Doom Beasts sent flying testified to her terrifying efficiency.
Meanwhile,
Qin Keqing blinked her captivating eyes, focusing her spellcasting near the Frost Curse Tower, aiding the frost in annihilating the monsters.
Despite the low revival rate, many monsters resurrected after massive deaths,
and now that they had reached Level 4, the monsters’ duration had extended to 20 minutes,
forming a significant force, fighting bloodily amid the monster tide.
“Peppa, attack!”
Wu Chi stood atop the city wall, fan in hand and clad in traditional robes, commanding with a graceful wave—
Oops, wrong image.
He wore modern casual clothes, yelling atop the wooden wall,
as two waves of foul-smelling gas erupted.
The elite Doom Beasts grimaced in sheer agony as though swallowing dung but still summoned lightning, gritting their teeth to charge.
Then,
the wild boars led by Peppa charged fiercely,
their massive bodies knocking dozens of elite Doom Beasts aside.
However… the effect was limited.
[Elite Doom Beast]
Species: Demon/Void.
Level: 11.
Constitution: 32+30
Spirit: 17+5
(Details omitted)
These formidable creatures didn’t just have powerful bodies;
their demonic bloodline and void attributes
also made their abilities terrifying.
While Peppa’s wild boars could handle regular Doom Beasts,
fighting elite Doom Beasts left them in a tough spot.
One charge wasn’t enough to kill them, and they were soon beaten mercilessly.
Thankfully, the Steel Armor talent helped minimize losses.
Even so,
the armored boars barely held the line with constant assistance from the defense towers.
Wu Chi stood atop the wooden wall, sniping at the Doom Beasts with a rifle,
though with little effect.
Honestly,
it was expected.
Typically, a lord’s main combat power lay in their territory:
heroes, troops, mystical structures, and even legendary artifacts.
For a lord to personally fight? A bit unconventional.
“Given the disparity in attributes, no wonder the textbooks emphasize that defense towers are crucial in the early stages.”
Wu Chi clicked his tongue. Sure, he was overpowered with two golden heroes,
making the monsters seem manageable and the defense towers average.
But,
for regular novice lords, the main offensive power was their defense towers!
Even standard Arrow Towers could produce significant total output!
Therefore,
the advice from teachers in school was to start with ten militiamen, engage in battle to sustain battle, summon heroes afterward, then focus on upgrading defense towers.
Once resources were abundant, boost troop numbers, upgrade units,
and transition into a formal military establishment!
“But that path isn’t for me.”
Wu Chi glanced at his territory’s traits, his expression serious.
Girls are the true path to dominance!
With tenfold attributes, everything else paled in comparison!
After reaching Level 5,
he could construct a second barracks and immediately upgrade to Level 5.
A total of 100 soldiers across both barracks—
already a fearsome force for any novice lord!
“I just hope the next one isn’t another weirdo…”
Wu Chi sighed inwardly, all the while commanding the armored boars to charge recklessly.
They avoided direct confrontation, relying on the defense towers and using Savage Charge to disrupt the battlefield,
splitting enemy lines and creating favorable one-on-one scenarios.
Make no mistake,
he hadn’t spent the past decade idly—he had been learning hard!
Over an hour later, the monsters were wiped out.
Exhausted, Wu Chi looked out and noticed another wave approaching:
thousands of regular Doom Beasts and elite Doom Beasts.
The land outside the territory was stained red,
a blood-soaked mire littered with dismembered limbs!
He quickly grabbed a bottle of water, downing half of it, finally feeling slightly better.
“This scene… it’s like hell itself,”
a clear, pleasant voice rang out—
Qin Keqing had approached.
Sweat glistened on her face, her small mouth slightly agape, fear flickering in her beautiful eyes.
A few days ago,
she’d fought too,
but never had it been as terrifying as today!
Endless waves of monsters, relentless slaughter, flames, explosions, frost, lightning…
