In front of Country M's city.
Irregular-shaped deep craters as tall as a person covered the entire land.
By the side, the little griffin was already panting from exhaustion.
Its fur was covered in mud, and its two paws were hanging weakly in the air.
These pits were dug by it.
When had it ever suffered such grievances?
It was a dignified level three creature, when had it ever received such treatment!
The more it thought about it, the angrier it got.
The little griffin arrived at the city wall and bared its teeth at Pierce, showing its frustration.
Pierce smiled and rubbed its fur without saying anything.
It was already so tired from digging pits?
It was a shame to level-three creatures!
With the help of the griffin, these craters would become lethal weapons.
They quietly waited for nightfall.
In the world chat.
[Country X: Lass]: Tonight is the second round of monster invasion. Everyone, hold on. If you need help, let me know!
[Country G: Zenus]: @ [Country M: Pierce] Brother, if you need anything, let me know. I cannot send manpower but I can give ammunition. Remember to get through this.
[Country M: Pierce]: Good luck to you too.
....
In a conference room in Country M.
All the executives present saw Pierce's efforts today.
Although the little griffin looked too weak.
But so far, Pierce had done everything he could.
The leader nodded and said to the bodyguard,
"Gather all the soldiers. If Pierce fails, we need to encircle the monsters immediately."
"Yes!"
"By the way, how is the evacuation of the citizens?"
"Reporting, all of them have been evacuated. No one lives within a thousand meters!"
"Get to work!"
Every country began to move.
Not only did the participants in the Tower Defense world have to prepare, even they had to make preparations to ensure the survival of their country!
——————
Just as everything was ready.
Pierce suddenly received a notification from the hint system.
The golden words were very eye-catching in the night sky.
[The next monster invasion time: 2 hours 32 minutes 47 seconds]
[This round's invading creatures are: Skeleton undead, Aberration—]
[Friendly reminder, why don't you transform the remaining arrow towers into water elemental arrow towers?]
Undead and aberration?
Pierce slapped his forehead when he read the last message.
Oh right, he had yet to use the remaining five water element energy stones to strengthen the arrow towers.
He temporarily ignored the countdown and quickly used the stones to enhance the arrow towers with water elements.
With a flash of blue light, another four arrow towers were placed on the city wall.
Now, he had to wait for the arrival of the monsters.
But… I have read about the undead in books.
But what is an aberration?
Could it be a new creature?!
The rules of the Tower Defense world were absolutely fair. Even if Pierce was alone in Country M, the intensity of the battle was the same as that of other countries.
Just like that, as countless people were panicking, the countdown to the second round of invasion officially began.
[Ten minutes until the next round of invasion—]
[One minute before the next round of invasion—]
[Thirty seconds until the next round of invasion—]
[10… 9… 8… 7.]
[3!]
[2!]
[1!!]
[Night has fallen, it is time for the bizarre to awaken. Next, please welcome—Darkness Hour!!]
"Roar!!!"
A roar shook the dark clouds in the sky, and pure white moonlight shone on the ground.
One after another, eerie white bones walked out of the forest.
They were holding bows and arrows with their pale joints.
[Skeleton Undead]
[Level: 3]
[Remarks: Be careful, they will always be your nightmare!]
Hmm!?
Pierce looked at the dark forest with a heavy expression.
There was definitely something else in the depths of the forest.
That loud roar!
It must be it.
Aberration!
Pierce turned to the marching skeletons.
They held bows in their hands and began shooting.
Pierce quickly hid behind the wall with Griffin in his arms.
His arrow tower was completely autonomous, so he wasn't afraid of not having anyone to control it.
Pierce stared at the skeleton soldiers. Soon, a row of golden words appeared.
[Skeleton soldiers? Interesting. Won't their bones be broken with water shot?]
Afraid of water?
Pierce's eyes lit up. Fortunately, he had enhanced the remaining arrow towers into water elemental arrow towers today.
At this moment, almost the entire world was watching the live broadcast.
In all the national discussions, the second round of monster Invasion had already dominated the hot charts.
No one paid attention to the clownish farce of the entertainers when the country was in danger.
Everything they did to gain popularity was like a circus clown.
The entire world was watching the live broadcasts.
Especially in Pierce's live-stream.
The number of viewers had already far surpassed the other contestants' and was ranked first on the global rankings.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The two sides exchanged arrows. Wooden iron-headed arrows, water arrows, and fire arrows filled the sky.
Pierce could not watch the battle between the archers at close range.
With the support of the crazy firepower of the eight towers, these slow-moving skeleton undead fell one by one on the empty ground beyond the city.
Pierce was looking at all this all through a small hole in the wall.
All of this was within his expectations.
These arrow towers were only his first layer of protection.
Not to mention that he had already dug traps all over the city.
If they were not careful, the entire skeleton horde would split apart.
In this war, the Goddess of Victory had already begun to lean towards Pierce's side.
But Pierce didn't relax at all.
He knew that there was still a terrifying existence waiting for him to exhaust himself.
It was an aberration!
The range of that roar was very large. This also meant that its body might be like a giant's.
The traps that he had set up might not be effective against it.
Time slowly passed amidst the fierce battle in the night.
The five hundred skeleton undead were utterly defeated.
Just as everyone in the world channel was chatting, Pierce sent a message.
Everyone was stunned.
[Country M: Pierce]: Friendly reminder, there is an even more terrifying presence waiting for you behind these skeleton undead. Be careful.
