These new enemies were much stronger than the monsters from the afternoon, but Lucian's enhanced defenses gave him the confidence to withstand them.
"Stay alert!" Lucian shouted, dividing their roles.
Lin Daiyu, the "human missile," moved to patrol the perimeter with her unparalleled speed and raw power, acting as the strongest shield.
Qin Keqing stayed near Lucian, ready to adapt and cast spells as the battle evolved.
The tide of lizardmen soon entered the Fart Towers' range.
The grotesque humanoid statues on the towers sprang to life, releasing waves of noxious green gas.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
Chaos in the Stench
A toxic, colorful mist enveloped the battlefield.
The first wave of lizardmen rushed in, their skeletal faces contorted with agony as the noxious gas overwhelmed them. They convulsed violently and collapsed into twitching heaps, creating a bottleneck for those behind.
However, elite lizardmen, clad in their durable bone armor, resisted the fumes and pressed forward.
The Fart Towers had done their job of slowing the enemy down. Now, the upgraded Flame Burst Towers, Frost Towers, Lightning Towers, and Machine Gun Towers unleashed their deadly arsenal.
Flame Bursts scorched the battlefield, disintegrating dozens of lizardmen in fiery explosions.
Lightning Chains arced through clusters of enemies, leaving charred husks in their wake.
Frost Spells froze the ground, trapping dozens of lizardmen in glacial prisons before shattering them.
Despite these losses, the lizardmen's sheer numbers allowed them to wade through the carnage. Standing on piles of their fallen comrades, they advanced with relentless fury.
Lucian commanded from the Wooden Wall, adjusting strategies and replenishing ammunition for the defensive towers. Nearby, Qin Keqing wielded her Wind and Moon Mirror, casting Frost Breath to slow and immobilize enemies.
"Fire Rain! Activate!" Lucian ordered.
The Fire Rain Tower, with its stockpile expended, erupted in a blinding glow.
High above the battlefield, fiery raindrops began to condense.
The temperature spiked as searing droplets fell from the heavens like a meteor shower. Each fiery droplet struck the enemy ranks with devastating precision, igniting the battlefield in explosions.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lizardmen screamed as they were incinerated by the relentless inferno. Hundreds of them perished in mere seconds.
The firestorm subsided, but the battle was far from over. Waves of monsters continued to press forward, forcing Lucian to run along the Wooden Wall, replenishing tower ammunition and reinforcing weak points.
The Wooden Wall held firm under pressure, its Withering Curse sapping the strength of attackers.
Meanwhile, Lin Daiyu and Qin Keqing worked tirelessly. Lin's fists smashed through elite lizardmen with explosive power, while Qin's frost magic controlled the battlefield, freezing entire groups of enemies in place.
Even the 40 armored Peppa Boars joined the fray, charging into the enemy ranks to disrupt their formations.
As hours passed, the battlefield outside the walls became a grotesque wasteland of charred remains, frozen sculptures, and broken bones. The air was thick with the stench of death and ash.
Despite the overwhelming enemy numbers, Lucian's defensive measures and the heroics of Lin Daiyu and Qin Keqing ensured the tide was held back.
But the night was long, and the waves of lizardmen showed no sign of ending.
