It wasn't until Chen Yu came to this territory that he realized how many enemies he was facing.
There were two to three hundred Lizardmen, most of them of "Common ★★★★" quality, with some even reaching "Fine" quality.
They were of varying levels.
There were spearmen among them.
And there were Archers too.
They were continuously shooting arrows at the territory.
It was precisely because of their attacks that the territory's Dungeon had stopped functioning at this moment.
And in the sky, there were dozens of blue flying dragons circling. These flying dragons were of no low quality, reaching "Fine ★★★★", with some even reaching "Rare" quality, and their combat power index was very high.
These flying dragons had not launched an attack, but were poised to strike.
After all, to activate the protective shield, a casual attack was all that was needed, which could then cut off the Dungeon's signal and sever its soul crystal source.
Seeing this situation,
Li Ruoshu and the others' expressions immediately darkened.
Cutting off our source of wealth?
Who could tolerate that!
The three immediately rushed out.
Li Ruoshu, wielding dual swords, quickly met a Lizardmen spearman head-on.
The long swords in her hands, with extreme speed, sliced across the Lizardmen's throat.
Under the enhancement of wind attribute, Li Ruoshu's speed was absolutely incomparable to these Lizardmen. In a one-on-one situation, it was an instant kill upon meeting.
Li Ruoshu and Chu Ruoxue still hadn't comprehended the skills they desired.
However, the quality of these Lizardmen was not high; some had reached "Fine" quality, but most were still of "Common ★★★★" quality, with an average combat power index.
Facing the three, whose combat power far exceeded their current quality,
A one-on-one fight was definitely not an option.
However, the strength of a War Lord has never been about how a single unit performs, but rather the entire formation.
An army organized into a formation is definitely different from a disorganized mob.
Li Ruoshu and the other two rushed out of the protective shield, catching the Lizardmen off guard, and quickly killed a dozen Lizardmen.
But by the time these Lizardmen recovered, they had quickly formed a formation, with spearmen in front, tightly packed together, and Archers in the back firing cold arrows.
Coupled with the Ice Wyvern in the sky, continuously spewing frosty breath,
The three individuals, facing the attacks of 200 Lizardmen and 50 Ice Wyvern alone, found it difficult to parry even a single volley.
Li Ruoshu and the other two were forced to retreat back into the protective shield.
But before retreating,
Chen Yuxuan drew her longbow and instantly activated T-Virus: Fatal Weakness.
Her vision suddenly changed; her eyes were no longer filled with color, but became a monochrome of black and white.
Within this black and white, some small red dots appeared. These red dots were the weaknesses she found on the enemies.
Chen Yuxuan quickly aimed at an Ice Wyvern in the sky, drew her bow, and released the arrow.
The arrow left the string and instantly plunged into the Ice Wyvern's weakness.
A mournful cry rang out.
The Ice Wyvern fell from mid-air, instantly perishing.
This scene startled Chen Yu.
An instant kill of a "Fine" quality by a "Common" quality.
Is this the power of the orange-quality T-Virus skill that Chen Yuxuan comprehended in Resident Evil?
It seemed to be deterred by this shock, as the flying dragons in the sky flew much higher.
They no longer dared to circle in mid-air.
However, even though one of the enemy's flying dragons was killed, there were still many enemies.
Li Ruoshu and the others were clearly having a hard time coping.
Trading lives might be possible, but resurrection also requires time and resources.
"This thing... the after-effects are really strong," Chen Yuxuan said, covering one eye, unable to help herself.
Just by activating the virus for a short while, her eye was already struggling to bear it.
After repelling Li Ruoshu and the other two, the Lizardmen on the opposite side approached again, continuously attacking the protective shield.
Chen Yu frowned.
Knowing that now was not the time to save money, he directly issued a quest on the system panel.
【Quest: Defend the Territory.】
【Quest Content: Defend the territory and find the location of the enemy's lair. Upon completion of the defense, reward 300 happy coins. The top 30 on the scoreboard will be rewarded with 100 contribution points.】
【Quest Participants: 120 people】
As soon as the quest was issued,
It immediately drew attention from the outside world.
"What?"
"So the territory was indeed attacked?"
"Who is it? They've got some nerve to attack Lord Chen's territory."
"Brothers, charge! Drive the invaders back!"
"Drive them back? Is that enough? They've delayed us for so long, we should at least smash their territory."
Every minute Chen Yu's territory is stopped,
Not only does he lose a minute of income,
The Adventurers do as well.
Sometimes it's hard to say who gets anxious first; Chen Yu doesn't even need to be anxious, there are naturally people who will be anxious for him.
In this quest, even if Chen Yu didn't want to spend a single happy coin or give any contribution points, there would still be plenty of people rushing forward, one after another, to help him drive away the enemies.
For the current Tidal Town, Chen Yu had genuinely helped them emerge from a state where they could very likely starve to death.
With a comfortable life seemingly within reach, how could the Adventurers tolerate anyone destroying it?
However,
The deserved rewards still needed to be given; Chen Yu wasn't that stingy.
Soon,
120 Adventurers appeared in the two Adventurer's Taverns, rushing out furiously.
"Damn it, where are the enemies?"
"CTMD, daring to touch Lord Chen, isn't this asking for our lives? I'll fight them to the death."
"Are these the Lizardmen outside? Brothers, charge! Kill them!"
The 120 Adventurers instantly saw red, and rushed out of the protective shield in a mighty surge.
This startled the Lizardmen on the other side.
However, the opposite side also had a commander, who quickly stabilized their formation and launched an attack.
The two sides instantly engaged in battle.
The quality of the Adventurers' spirits was similar to that of the Lizardmen, although their levels might be a bit lower.
But it didn't matter, Adventurers have been roaming various Dungeons for years, and their individual combat ability is not weak.
Moreover, their 'Old Six' tactics are endless; even if their combat power is a bit weaker, they can still beat these Lizardmen until they don't know what hit them.
Additionally,
They also possess the ability to transform using card albums.
Chen Yu had opened up card permissions for Common Zombies, Zombie Dogs, as well as Smokers and Fatties to the regular Adventurers.
Among them, Smoker and Fatty cards would be relatively few, not enough for everyone to use.
But Common Zombies and Zombie Dogs were simply too numerous; they could be used endlessly.
Although the quality of these two was very low,
There was a bug present here.
That is, after transformation, the health bar is new.
In other words, when Adventurers were on the verge of death, they would choose to transform into Common Zombies or Zombie Dogs to launch a final counterattack.
This was almost equivalent to having two lives.
Under such circumstances, facing the attacks of over 200 Lizardmen troops and Ice Wyvern, the Adventurers actually managed to counterattack successfully.
They quickly killed dozens of Lizardmen.
