Seeing the protective shield effortlessly block the enemies outside, several Adventurers let out strange cackles.
“Can’t do it, huh?”
“You can’t, but we can.”
With that, one by one, they raised the swords and daggers in their hands and stabbed them into the Dragon Egg Warrior’s abdomen.
The protective shield would block ranged weapons, but close-combat blades were considered part of the Adventurers, and thus were not isolated by the defense rules.
They could penetrate the protective shield and directly attack the enemies outside.
However, it was a pity.
The Dragon Egg Warrior’s abdomen was protected by scales, and the Adventurers’ combat power was too weak; this strike failed to break through their defense.
Only Wu Yue’s large iron hammer caused some damage.
“Damn it, these guys are really tough.”
“What do we do now? A frontal assault doesn’t seem to be an option.”
The Dragon Egg Warrior’s armor was extremely hard, likely an extension of the dragon’s innate talent.
With their current weapons and attack power, it was very difficult to break through.
Wu Yue gritted his teeth and said, “What are you afraid of? I’ll hammer them one by one. I don’t believe they won’t turn around. Once they turn around, you stab them in the butt.”
That was indeed the only weak point at the moment.
Attacking the head and heart was too difficult; only attacking from behind would work.
Although Wu Yue’s large iron hammer was slow, his attack points were maxed out, and the damage was still sufficient.
With one hammer blow, a Dragon Egg Warrior had to retreat in pain.
After several consecutive hammer blows, the Dragon Egg Overlord on the opposite side saw this and had to order a retreat.
However, they had learned their lesson.
When retreating, they didn’t expose their backs but slowly pulled back.
“Damn it.”
“These guys seem to have a bit of a brain; they’re not like ordinary beasts anymore.”
“Normal, normal. They are, after all, a War Lord’s troop type and a type of intelligent race. It’s normal for them to have some brains.”
“So what do we do? They absolutely refuse to turn their backs to us.”
“Wait a minute…”
One of the Adventurers said, “Look quickly, they seem to be forming a formation in place.”
The Adventurers looked up.
They found that these Dragon Egg Warriors, under the command of the Dragon Egg Overlord, had formed a square formation, surrounding themselves impenetrably, facing outward with their hardest armor.
They simply wouldn’t expose their vulnerable rear.
“It seems they received some command? If nothing else, it should be that the Lord knew something and issued an order to defend in place.”
Everyone frowned. “It seems that Lord knows we’ve arrived and also knows that our existence won’t last long, so he plans to just wear us down like this…”
“If that’s the case, it’s going to be troublesome.”
“Right now they’re not attacking, so the protective shield isn’t affected and can operate normally. But as soon as we disappear, these guys will definitely attack again, and then the territory will suffer.”
This move was also a common tactic used by War Lords against Dungeon Lords.
So what if you spent a lot of money to call Adventurers?
We’ll just besiege the city directly.
When Adventurers come, we retreat. When Adventurers leave, we advance.
Who will be the one in a hurry in the end?
It must be said that facing some shameless War Lords, Dungeon Lords really felt somewhat powerless, and it might even be that in the end, they could only cede land and pay indemnities.
At this moment, Qi Maosong had already emerged from the teleportation array.
Seeing this situation, after a brief deliberation, his keen gaze fell on a certain direction.
“There are some messy footprints on the road over there, a bit deeper than other places. These guys must have come from that direction.
Which means…
This War Lord’s lair is in that direction.”
Wu Yue also thought of something and exclaimed, “Little Qi Qi, you really are a genius! These guys want to wear us down, but we won’t let them. We’ll just bypass them, go to his territory, and smash his home base.”
“Then what are we waiting for? Charge directly.”
“Yes, smash his lair.”
“Hahahahaha, just thinking about it makes it fun. When the time comes, I’ll hide by the roadside, and as soon as these guys come to reinforce, I’ll stab them in the butt.”
The Adventurers were all excited, rubbing their palms together.
They couldn’t wait to rush to the War Lord’s lair right now and pull off a ‘besiege Wei to rescue Zhao’ maneuver.
“Wait a moment first.”
Qi Maosong temporarily held back the excited crowd and said with a smile, “Don’t be in a hurry. For now, hold them steady here. I’ll go scout ahead alone to avoid delays when we’re on the road later.”
“That’s right, Little Qi Qi is still the most thoughtful.” Wu Yue nodded.
“Then we’ll put on a show for them, make them think we’re helpless, let them be proud, and let them be doomed to fail.”
“Acting? I’m good at that.”
The Adventurer said this and rushed out, truly putting on a performance.
He had an expression of anger mixed with helplessness; it was a shame he didn’t become a comedian streamer.
Wu Yue, Li Ruopu, and the other Adventurers were responsible for attracting the attention of the Dragon Egg Warrior on the opposite side.
Qi Maosong took this opportunity to quietly slip away.
No one noticed him.
Qi Maosong followed the footprints on the ground, investigating all the way.
These Dragon Egg Warriors probably never thought that someone would follow their tracks back to their lair, so along the way, they didn’t do anything special to the footprints.
It only took Qi Maosong a dozen minutes to see a dilapidated castle appear before him.
This castle was nestled among the trees, hidden in the dense primeval forest.
If he hadn’t used these footprints and tried to find it himself, he might not have found it at all.
“Level one castle?”
Qi Maosong raised an eyebrow, finding it somewhat amusing.
He had thought it was a high-level War Lord, but it turned out to be only a level one.
Well, yes.
Lord Chen’s level-up speed should be considered fast among these new Lords.
Although he was only a Dungeon Lord, with the blessings of these excellent Dungeons, his level-up speed certainly wouldn’t be slower than those top War Lords.
Qi Maosong didn’t linger too long.
After thoroughly investigating the castle’s situation, he returned to the Rabbit-Ear People Village.
“If it’s a level one Lord, then these troops outside are probably that Lord’s entire military force.”
Wu Yue also found it somewhat amusing when he heard Qi Maosong’s description.
Li Ruopu said, “Since we can’t break through that iron barrel outside, why don’t we quickly go and dismantle that War Lord’s castle?”
“But the problem is…” Another Adventurer expressed concern, “If all of us move out, these guys might charge, and they’ll probably run faster than us.”
How can two legs outrun four legs?
Regarding this, Qi Maosong chuckled, “Then we just need to turn ourselves into four-legged creatures, won’t we?”
“How do we change?”
“Don’t forget, in Lord Chen’s Biochemical Crisis Dungeon, there’s something called a Zombie Dog.”
