Chapter 329: Chapter 259: Battles Everywhere (4K)_2

Just like the snake-man leader and the spider woman chief he had encountered before.

The majority of the intelligent monsters discovered by Mu Yuan were mostly of the elite level and war general level. This scale of monster tide, no matter how advanced they are, these elite and war general level monsters stand a chance at only being in the middle layer.

They were just like small generals.

Mu Yuan used the first few intelligent monsters he discovered to lure out more intelligent bosses.

Otherwise, even with the help of the Magic Celestial Instrument, it would be difficult to find dozens of distinctive cases among the vast monster tide.

At this moment, it was the second day of the surging monster tide, and the defense line of Tianyuan territory was very stable.

“It’s about time. We can start decapitating these intelligent monsters and move on to the second stage, the harvesting stage of the Misfortune Charm Flower.”

Mu Yuan’s mental intention spread, transmitting to the frontline generals like Dead Bone and Lu Liu.

The next task could be handed over to them.

Mu Yuan felt quite at ease.

He could go to rest and enjoy some tea and dessert for himself.

…

Many newly established Lords didn’t feel as secure.

Standing on his castle, Mr. Tan looked solemnly at the flying monsters invading his territory. He constantly controlled the arrow towers and other defense buildings to target and kill those monsters.

He wiped his sweat off.

He had not rested for two days and nights.

For an elite-level peak strongman like him, several days without sleep was not a problem. However, he had been controlling defensive buildings for the past two days and the mental exhaustion was significant. Even after taking several recovery and energy potions, Mr. Tan was still feeling tired.

But he dare not rest.

He was afraid that something would happen to his territory when he woke up.

He had hired quite a few veteran players, but commanding troops and controlling buildings could only rely on himself, or rather, his own direct lineage.

Mr. Tan had a strong lineage.

He had a Hero, and two generals who had consumed precious items and awakened their self-consciousness in advance.

These three generals were the three pillars of his territory.

But three pillars were too few, especially when he only had one Hero.

The Hero was commanding the troops on the front lines and coordinating with players. So, only he, Mr. Tan, was left to control the defense buildings.

Besides, he also needed to handle territory affairs, contact with players, information processing, intelligence gathering, and more.

These could not be delegated to others, at least not the most crucial ones.

“The situation is good for now. My territory can bear this round of Red Fog Disaster Moon, but it’s going to wear me out!”

“Compared to me, the situations of other newly promoted Lords are even more worrisome.”

At least he had a Hero who could help him out with many tasks.

Most new Lords didn’t have a Hero because the newcomers were in a disadvantageous position, with only a few gaining benefits from the Festival Grounds.

Many Lords couldn’t afford to hire players to assist.

No wonder many territories have been abandoned and left in ruins.

“I wonder how the others are doing.”

He glanced at his phone, which was connected to Lanxing.

The screen was on, but the group chat was silent. Obviously, everyone was too busy to spare any time.

….

The situation of Liver Emperor was slightly better than Mr. Tan’s.

Because he was favored by a rich woman.

At the moment, the players assisting in the defense of his territory were even more numerous than in Mr. Tan’s territory. There were also many city defensive weapons firing away, killing the invading monsters.

Liver Emperor’s face also showed signs of fatigue, and the circles under his eyes were dark, but he still smiled when he looked at the person beside him.

“After this Disaster Month is over, we will go back to Lanxing and get married.”

…

Red Leaf Territory.

Lord Zhou Ye was now quite distressed. He didn’t have a Hero and only had a few unreliable small generals as his lineage.

He had to manage everything by himself, and even share some authority with players whose loyalty was uncertain.

“There are too few defenders. Damn it!”

“And the players aren’t reliable. They’re fine when the going is good, but when faced with adversity…”

Red Leaf Territory was originally a pioneer territory. Before the Red Fog Disaster Moon arrived, Zhou Ye had attracted many players. Unfortunately, when the Disaster Moon arrived and the red fog covered the sky, all the pioneer players were gone.

Not a single person stayed to share the adversity!

The remaining veteran players were all hired at a high price.

He had spent money, land deeds, and altar usage agreements, and so on.

Even so, once the situation turns dire, it is unlikely that any player would stay to live or die with him.

Once the city falls, it will collapse like an avalanche.

“I pray it doesn’t come to that, all my hard work, all my hard work!”

…

At the same time,

Shiling Town.

Boom, boom, boom——

Deafening booms echoed continuously from all directions outside the city walls.

The explosion sounds never ceased; the earth was constantly trembling.

Compared to Tianyuan Territory, the number of monsters facing Shiling Town exceeded dozens of times.

Every front-line heavy town was facing a vicious tide of creatures.

The railroads had long been cut off, the city was besieged by surging monster waves from all sides; the entire Shiling Town was like an island in the roaring sea.

However, the defensive strength of Shiling Town far exceeded Tianyuan Territory.

The city wall of Tianyuan Territory was sparsely populated; one wall could not be fully manned. Here in Shiling Town, countless types of troops were stationed on the towering city walls, and every section of the wall and each shooting point had troops stationed.

There were also various teams and legions waiting under the wall, ready to rotate at any time.

There were a lot of players stationed here.

Among them, a veteran lord typically led a Complete Troop Legion and a second-level legion and stationed them here.

That’s over a thousand elite soldiers.

They were on par with Tianyuan Territory in terms of regular soldiers.

And there were several such veteran lords in the whole Shiling Town, as well as a dozen or more old lords and an uncertain number of ranger players.

This was the reliance of a military stronghold.

Despite this, the battle was intense, even brutal.

High-order monsters have already broken into the territory, wreaking havoc before being slain by powerful players. Also, numerous remains of flying monsters crashed into the city, raising clouds of dust.

Shiling Town was large, several times the size of Tianyuan Town.

The streets in it crisscrossed.

Most ordinary citizens had hidden in the underground shelters or had locked their doors and windows to hide in their homes, but the city was still filled with an atmosphere of anxiety, unease, and depression.

In front of the shops, private soldiers of various business establishments awaited in full battle attire.

Players passing by were in a hurry.

“I participated in the Shiling Town defense war last year too, the battle was not nearly this fierce!”

“There seem to be a lot of high-order monsters hidden in the monster tide, they deceive and ambush, two of my soldiers died because of this, damn it!”

“Yes, it’s said the big shots judged that deep within the monster tide, there are wisdom monsters with very strong control power; they just haven’t found them yet.”

…

A few kilometers away from Shiling Town.

One, two, three, four figures gathered here.

Their figures were blurry as if shrouded in a misty black fog. But through it, one could faintly see that there were huge totem shadows behind them.

It was as if powerful beings descended and squeezed into their small bodies.

“Our goal is the same.”

The figure with four black wings behind it spoke, his voice hoarse.

Another powerful being, whose totem shadow was a black crow, also spoke, “I agree wholeheartedly that devouring human power and weakening the purification power is our common aim, however, where is that foolish Orochi?”

“Orochi has gone to another place; it seems to have an enemy around here.”

“Heh, Orochi really is getting more and more stupid.”

The other two strong beings spoke up one after another.

Finally, they reached a consensus.

“Since Orochi is not here, this fertile human town will be divided among the four of us and offered to the great god.”

“Praise be to our god!”

At the same time, somewhere outside Tianyuan Territory.

A blurry figure stood silently in the dense forest, a large, terrifying shadow of a totem emerging from behind him.

Upon it, a pair of snake-like vertical pupils gazed at the distance.

It was faintly visible that these vertical pupils, one large and one small, emitted a glint of malice.
