[Ding! The second day of the Beast Siege event has started!]
[Calculating…]
[Your territory will be facing 20 waves of beasts]
Qin Tian meditated atop a floating carriage, his troops forming a protective perimeter around it. The Eastern Frontier stretched out before him, a vast and open field. Despite being called a carriage, it hovered a meter above the ground and was large enough to rival a small house. Originally an ordinary camp bought from the Auction House, it had transformed into a magical carriage due to his talent [Immortal].
The Foundation Establishment VIII Heavenly Soldiers stood in disciplined formation, their armor glinting under the dim light. A hundred meters away, the Sect Master of Azure Mist Sect and his companions stood ready, prepared to intervene if needed. Qin Tian had left the three smaller Sect Masters under Bai Qi's command. Bai Qi, a Demigod Hero, possessed powerful Legion Skills, and it was enough for the beast wave, but he still wanted to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
As the sky darkened, the first wave approached. Dark spots appeared on the horizon, quickly revealing their true forms: a hundred massive and muscular bears with metallic black fur that glistened ominously in the low light. Their eyes glowed red, and their claws seemed sharp enough to tear through steel.
[Black Iron Bears (Uncommon)]
[Level 3]
[Strength: 8]
[Agility: 6]
[Physique: 7]
[Spirit: 5]
"Hm, still no match for my troops."
[Heavenly Soldier (Mythical)]
[Level: Foundation Establishment VIII]
[Strength: 48]
[Agility: 48]
[Physique: 48]
[Spirit: 48]
"With these attributes, they're as strong as level 40 troops of other Lords. As expected of my troops. In that case, they can take the initiative to kill these bears."
Qin Tian watched as the bears charged, shaking the ground with their immense weight. He signaled his soldiers, who stood unwavering.
"Kill them!"
The soldiers immediately rushed up, their figures like shadows, moving at extreme speeds. Their spears clashed with the Black Iron Bears, easily piercing them. The bears were slaughtered in minutes.
[Wave 1 complete…]
[The second wave will come in 5 minutes]
"Too ez," Qin Tian thought. The time it took for the Heavenly Soldiers to wipe out the first wave was even faster than on the first day of the Beast Siege event. Of course, this was due to the huge level and attribute gap.
Soon, the second beast wave came. It was Black Iron Bears again, but this time, their number doubled.
3rd beast wave: 400 Black Iron Bears.
4th beast wave: 800 Black Iron Bears.
5th beast wave: 1,500 Black Iron Bears, led by the Level 15 Rare-quality Black Iron Bear King.
"Roar!"
This time, a much larger Black Iron Beast was leading the charge. It stood three meters tall, its eyes burning with rage, but hidden in it was cunningness and intelligence. The other Black Iron Bears followed its steps. Seeing this, Qin Tian sneered and thought,
"This must be the Black Iron Bear King…"
Then, with a snap of his fingers, a sound wave solidified into a crescent wave that sliced through the body of the Black Iron Bear King and the bears behind him.
The soldiers swiftly killed the remaining bears, emerging unscathed.
Qin Tian looked on with satisfaction. His forces had performed admirably, but there was no time to rest.
6th beast wave: 100 Black-Fang Wolves. Sleek and agile, these large wolves had jet-black fur and eyes that glinted with malevolence. They moved as one, a deadly pack with razor-sharp fangs.
[Black-Fang Wolves (Uncommon)]
[Level 3]
[Strength: 7]
[Agility: 8]
[Physique: 6]
[Spirit: 5]
"Let them come," Qin Tian said calmly. As soon as he signaled the attack, the soldiers rushed forward, engaging the wolves in a furious battle. The wolves, seeing their companions being slaughtered left and right, became even more mad and rushed towards their death.
7th beast wave: 200 Black-Fang Wolves.
8th beast wave: 400 Black-Fang Wolves.
9th beast wave: 800 Black-Fang Wolves.
10th beast wave: 1,500 Black-Fang Wolves, led by the Level 15 Rare-quality Black-Fang Wolf King. This alpha was larger and more cunning, directing its pack with precision.
Seeing the boss, a huge pack of experience, Qin Tian immediately took action and spoke the words,
"Die!"
Immediately, this sound solidified and turned into a sword, easily beheading the boss. The other wolves, seeing their alpha get killed easily, lost morale, and some of them even whimpered. Seeing this, the Heavenly Soldiers took advantage of this and slaughtered them.
Qin Tian took a moment to catch his breath. The soldiers were performing beyond expectations, but the next waves had the chance to turn the battle's outcome.
11th beast wave: 100 Hell Leopards. These beasts were terrifying, with jet-black fur and glowing red eyes. Their speed and agility made them deadly predators.
[Hell Leopards (Uncommon)]
[Level 3]
[Strength: 6]
[Agility: 9]
[Physique: 5]
[Spirit: 5]
"Interesting… Creatures from the Abyss?" Qin Tian muttered.
The Hell Leopards charged with incredible speed, but the Heavenly Soldiers were even faster. The soldiers met them head-on, their spears a blur as they struck. The leopards' agility made them difficult targets, but the soldiers' precision was unmatched.
The battlefield was a whirlwind of motion, with soldiers and leopards moving at blinding speeds. The leopards tried to outmaneuver the soldiers, but every leap and dodge was countered with a swift and deadly strike.
12th beast wave: 200 Hell Leopards.
13th beast wave: 400 Hell Leopards.
14th beast wave: 800 Hell Leopards.
15th beast wave: 1,500 Hell Leopards, led by the Level 15 Rare-quality Hell Leopard King. This alpha was larger and more ferocious than any leopard they had faced.
Qin Tian did the same with what he did with the first two bosses and killed this Hell Leopard King instantly.
The dynamics changed when the 16th beast wave started. Harpies appeared, their legs resembling beasts, their upper bodies human-like with horns, and they had wings. They flew above the battlefield, out of reach of the soldiers' spears.
The soldiers tried to jump and attack, but it was too slow to catch the agile harpies. The Great Wall hadn't extended its flying restriction here, leaving the soldiers at a disadvantage.
Seeing this, Qin Tian signaled the medium-sized Sect Master to take action. As a dignified Peak Unity Realm expert, handling these beasts was easy for him.
The Sect Master stepped forward, his eyes closed in concentration. When he opened them again, a pressure descended upon the battlefield, emanating from him.
The Sect Master's domain unfurled, a vast expanse of energy that reflected his mastery of the Dao. Within this domain, the harpies found themselves unable to move, their wings paralyzed by the overwhelming power.
He raised his hand, and the air around him began to distort. The harpies screeched as they felt an invisible force pressing down on them.
The soldiers watched in awe as the Sect Master manipulated the outcome of the battle. The ground beneath the harpies cracked and splintered, and the air shimmered with a golden hue. The harpies, trapped within the domain, were helpless.
With a gesture, the Sect Master brought his hand down, and the pressure intensified. The harpies were forced to the ground, their wings crushed by the invisible force. The soldiers moved in, their spears flashing as they dispatched the immobilized beasts.
Qin Tian was not shocked to see this. The harpies and the Sect Master were 60 levels apart, of course it would be easy to kill them. In addition, the Sect Master of Azure Mist Sect used his domain.
A domain is formed at the Soul Transformation level (Level 41-50), where cultivators can exude a unique space that reflects their understanding of Dao.
Soon, waves passed, and the 20th Beast Wave arrived. The Level 15 Rare-quality Harpy Queen showed herself. Before she had the chance to see the world, a sword formed by sound waves immediately pierced her brain juices, if there were any.
[Wave 20 complete…]
[Ding! You have completed day 2 out of 7 of the Beast Siege Event of the Novice Trial]
[View Battle Summary]
[You have received the following:
[1-star beast meat 37,271x]
[2-star beast meat 49x]
[Spirit Coins 49,728x]
[1-star beast core 12x]
[Population Token (Common) 1x]
[Arrow Tower (Common) 1x]
[Forge (Uncommon) 1x]
[Wooden Fence (Common) 1x]
"1-star beast cores finally dropped. With this, I can upgrade the buildings in my territory. I already have the necessary materials such as wood and stone, and I only need the beast core." Qin Tian remarked to himself, his voice carrying a hint of excitement.
"I'll upgrade the Heavenly Soldier camp first so that the recruitment quota per day can be expanded, and I'll have more troops." Qin Tian prioritized troops since they were gonna be the main players in Qin Tian's plans. The more military strength, the more likely he'll be safe.
Even though his Lord Crystal couldn't be destroyed, and he couldn't be kicked out of Global Lords, there were still other methods to keep him, including sealing him or sniping him.
"Oh, finally! A forge actually came out of the rewards this time. With this, I can finally equip myself with proper equipment. In addition, the other residents such as the villagers also need to be equipped." Qin Tian was pleasantly surprised by this reward.
"Another Wooden Fence came out, which means another Mythical-quality Great Wall… If only I could sell this in the Auction House, then I would be incredibly rich now." Qin Tian mulled over.
He had already tried selling the items that were transformed by his Taboo Talent. However, as soon as he tried or had the thoughts of selling them, they would revert back to their original form.
Qin Tian claimed his reward, looking forward to what the Forge would transform into.
