If Qin Keqing resembled an ethereal fairy,
wielding her Wind and Moon Mirror to unleash frost that froze everything in its path,
then Lin Daiyu was nothing short of a "human missile."
With incredible speed, her footwork intertwined seamlessly as she unleashed her Eight Extremities Fist,
each strike accompanied by thunderous booms.
Her attacks might lack the spectacular visuals of Explosive Flame Towers,
but in terms of damage and efficiency,
they were leagues ahead.
A single punch took out swaths of enemies.
The Elite Annihilation Beasts, known for their tough hides and immense resilience,
were capable of enduring tower barrages and reaching the walls.
Yet, under Lin Daiyu's relentless punches,
they collapsed without hesitation.
Boom—! Boom—! Boom—!
Her shadow darted across the battlefield,
moving so fast that ordinary eyes couldn't track her.
The only evidence of her deadly efficiency was the scattered bodies of the elite beasts.
Meanwhile,
Qin Keqing stood near the Frost Curse Towers,
her beautiful eyes glinting with focus as she cast spells.
As swathes of monsters fell to her frost,
a number of them were revived by the curse,
becoming temporary allies in the fray.
At Level 4, the revival duration had increased to 20 minutes,
and the summoned creatures formed a formidable force,
fighting valiantly against the waves of monsters.
"Peppa Squad, attack!"
Wu Chi stood atop the wooden walls, dressed in casual modern attire.
With a loud command,
he waved his hand, releasing another two waves of stink gas into the battlefield.
The Elite Annihilation Beasts that surged forward grimaced as though they had consumed poison,
but they summoned lightning to shield themselves and pressed on.
Soon,
the Peppa Squad charged forward,
their massive frames sending over a dozen elite beasts flying.
However, the results were far from ideal.
[Elite Annihilation Beast]
Species: Demon/Void
Level: 11
Physique: 32+30
Spirit: 17+5
(Details omitted)
These terrifying creatures weren't just incredibly resilient,
their demonic bloodline and void essence granted them potent abilities.
While the Steelhide Boars could handle ordinary annihilation beasts,
fighting the elite variants proved overwhelming.
One charge wasn't enough to kill, and before long, the boars were under heavy counterattack.
Fortunately,
their Steelhide trait prevented catastrophic losses.
Even so,
the boars required constant assistance from the towers to hold their ground.
Wu Chi himself took out his sniper rifle to assist in the battle,
but its effectiveness was limited...
This was to be expected.
Typically, a lord's strength relied not on personal combat but on their territory's forces:
heroes, troops, unique buildings, and even relics.
For a lord to personally engage in battle was often impractical.
"With attributes dozens of times weaker than the enemies',
no wonder the textbooks emphasize towers as indispensable early-game tools."
Wu Chi clicked his tongue.
He could only face such challenges because of his two legendary heroes.
Otherwise, the monsters would've overwhelmed his territory long ago.
Even ordinary Arrow Towers, in sufficient numbers, were critical in the early stages.
In fact, schools often taught a standard strategy:
1.Start with ten militia.
2.Use battle spoils to fund hero recruitment.
3.Pause recruitment and focus on upgrading towers.
4.Build a strong tower network to secure resources.
5.Only then, expand troops and upgrade units to achieve a military transformation.
"But that path isn't for me."
Wu Chi glanced at his territory's unique traits, his gaze firm.
Beauties are the true path to power!
With attributes ten times stronger, they could crush any opposition.
Once he reached Level 5,
he could build a second barracks.
At that point,
having 100 troops would be a formidable force for a novice lord.
"Hopefully, the new units won't be too quirky this time..."
Wu Chi sighed inwardly as he commanded the Steelhide Boars to disrupt the enemy lines.
He directed them to avoid direct confrontations,
instead using Wild Charges to sow chaos and break enemy formations,
allowing the towers to pick them off one by one.
Make no mistake:
his decade of preparation wasn't idle play.
Over an hour later,
the monsters lay dead.
Wu Chi, feeling mentally exhausted, looked out to see another wave approaching.
Thousands of ordinary Annihilation Beasts,
and thousands of elite variants,
covered the blood-soaked battlefield,
where dismembered limbs and viscera painted a gruesome picture.
Taking a bottle of mineral water,
he downed half of it in one gulp,
finally easing his nerves.
"This battlefield... it's like hell itself,"
came a soft, melodious voice.
Qin Keqing approached,
her face glistening with sweat, her small lips slightly parted.
Her beautiful eyes carried a trace of fear.
Though she had participated in battles over the past few days,
none had been as harrowing as this one.
Endless waves of monsters, relentless slaughter, firestorms, explosions, frost, and lightning...
