Lin Chen stared suspiciously at the Demonic Dragon Knight statue.
Hadn't he already recruited three Demonic Dragon Knights for free today?
Why were there still free chances left?
"Hmm?!"
A sudden flash of insight struck Lin Chen.
Could upgrading the Troop Building reset free recruitment chances?
His heart soared with joy!
Such a hidden benefit!
"Breed!"
Without hesitation, Lin Chen chose to breed.
These seven Demonic Dragon Knights were basically free gains!
The statue erupted with a pillar of light, black mist swirling around.
Seven tall figures lined up before Lin Chen.
He couldn't hide his delight and smiled.
He let Holy Knight organize these seven Demonic Dragon Knights uniformly.
After tonight, he would summon seven more tomorrow.
Then he'd have twenty Demonic Dragon Knights total!
Each with Level 3 or above combat power!
Just a little time for growth,
and eliminating Tauren Camp would be as easy as flipping a hand!
[Warning! Warning! Warning!]
Just as Lin Chen was quietly rejoicing,
a series of alarms blared suddenly in his ears.
[Attention all City Lords!]
[Energy Protection Shield is entering disorder mode!]
[A large number of monsters are gathering outside the shield. A very small number may breach the shield. Prepare defenses immediately!]
The sudden warning instantly grabbed all the City Lords' attention.
Many woke in shock, faces full of terror.
Shield disorder? Monster invasion!
[What's going on? I'm not prepared!]
[Isn't it invincible for seven days? I haven't even built walls!]
[I don't want to play anymore; I want to go home! Mom! Save me!]
[Calling daddy won't help; this is reality.]
[If you don't want to die, act fast!]
[There are walls in the shop; buy quickly to block monsters and cooperate with soldiers.]
[But I don't have enough Gold Coins...]
The chat exploded with noise.
Countless people screamed in fear.
Most regained composure quickly despite death's pressure.
They started buying walls and deploying troops for defense.
However, many had been chopping wood and gathering stone for days, trading for food,
and did not have a single Gold Coin!
It was a pity.
No matter how much they cried,
no one could help them.
Lin Chen immediately summoned Holy Knight and others.
He also felt grateful for having built walls early.
Now he wouldn't panic like others.
He had thirteen Holy Knights.
He placed a Demonic Dragon Knight every 20 meters along the walls for defense.
Holy Knight took central command, clearing monsters breaking through the walls.
His main job was to protect the City Lord up close!
With such precise arrangements, Lin Chen felt quite calm.
If his strength couldn't hold,
no one else could.
Everyone might as well give up.
The system gave limited time.
Ten minutes after the warning, the Energy Protection Shield began shaking!
The blue shield trembled continuously.
"Howl~woo!"
Meanwhile, monsters' howls rose one after another.
Pairs of green and red eyes appeared in the dark night.
Clearly, monsters sensed the shield's anomaly.
They aimed to tear and devour humans inside!
Seeing the massive number of monsters,
many City Lords' faces turned as pale as paper.
If these monsters broke in,
what would remain of them?
They would be devoured clean!
"Defend! Defend!"
Many City Lords shouted hoarsely from their castles at their soldiers.
Thud!
A dull sound echoed in the night.
Monsters began assaulting the Energy Protection Shield!
The shield was disordered but still effective.
Only brief gaps appeared in the shield.
Though lasting seconds, monsters seized these gaps to rush into City Lord territories!
Lin Chen's territory was breached first.
A ravenous fierce wolf charged in wildly, aiming for the walls!
Swoosh!
The guarding Demonic Dragon Knight struck with its spear!
A flash of cold light preceded the thrust; the spear darted like a dragon.
The fierce wolf instantly collapsed lifeless.
Though the intruder was easily dealt with,
no one relaxed.
They all knew this was just the beginning!
Endless monsters gathered outside the shield, crashing wave after wave.
City Lords inside felt their scalps tingle.
Was this the trial awaiting them in five days?!
In five days,
the shield would vanish completely.
Then,
endless monsters would enter their territories without obstruction!
What would they do then?
Though many City Lords panicked,
some remained calm.
Su Muge was composed, radiating a gentle dignity.
She ordered her Wind Crossbowers to defend using the walls,
maximizing their range advantage.
When monsters breached shield gaps,
nearby Wind Crossbowers turned them into porcupines with their arrows!
Su Muge was glad she had traded with Lin Chen.
Using those Level 1 Magic Crystals, she summoned fifty more Wind Crossbowers!
Seventy Wind Crossbowers formed an impenetrable defense!
Monsters almost could not invade.
Many City Lords, like Su Muge, commanded well.
They used troop advantages to resist monster invasions.
Plus, this was only a small monster invasion, not a full Monster Tide.
It was more like a drill!
Lin Chen noticed this too.
Very few monsters got inside the shield.
Most were killed before reaching the walls by Demonic Dragon Knights.
He had worried about his safety,
but it turned out needless.
Lin Chen's eyes fixed on the shield's exterior.
Countless monsters lurked there.
A sharp glint flashed in his black eyes.
"Tonight might be an opportunity?"
