Chapter 493: Chapter 493
To Du You’s surprise, even the lowly foot soldiers in the third wave had reached the second tier. Many of them were at level 15, 16, and even late second tier. Though they were still quite some distance away, they were certainly not in short supply.
Out of the ten thousand Sandpeople in the third wave, over six thousand had reached the second tier.
"This won’t do, we’re not strong enough," Du You narrowed his eyes. He initially believed that it was just a minor tier one territory development, and it wouldn’t be too dangerous. But the outcome was beyond his expectations.
Du You took out two scrolls without hesitation and threw them forward.
Holy Armor Legion Summoning Scroll: Summons one hundred level 4 Holy Armor Legion (Heavily Armed Legion), lasts for two hours (Bright white, 1/2)
Hungry Wolf Legion Summoning Scroll: Summons 50 level 9 Hungry Wolf Legions, lasts for one hour (Bright white, 1/1)
Seeing that the final wave was approaching, Du You decided to abandon his frugality and threw out both of his summoning scrolls. A hundred level-four Holy Armor Legion soldiers, clad in shimmering golden armor, appeared on the city walls.
Their sole purpose was to assist in the city’s defense by acting as cannon fodder. The remaining fifty level-nine wolfmen appeared below the city walls, ready for battle at any time.
At this point, all of the quicksand traps outside had been filled, and all the Desert Wolves were dead, requiring time to recover. The defense measure brought by the Quicksand Banner was thoroughly exhausted.
Du You opened his panel and after a series of operations, started increasing his own power. Originally, Du You was already at level 13 and quickly leveled himself up to 16, advancing by three levels.
Feeling the surge of power within him, Du You laughed bitterly. He had planned to level up later, but now he had no other choice. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t be able to get past the hurdle at hand. However, suddenly leveling up caused some discomfort.
Fortunately, after this war, he should be fully accustomed to his new power.
Du You quickly upgraded all of his skills to level 16, and also upgraded the skills of Lin Yushi and Lin Yucha. The actual crystal coins spent on leveling up and upgrading skills were not many, and Du You was able to shoulder the cost entirely. Moreover, as he raised his levels and skills, the stamina and magic power he had initially consumed were quickly restored.
Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi felt their own changes immediately. They looked at Du You, but said nothing, adjusting their conditions to prepare for the final wave of battle.
With leveled up rankings and skills, the formerly formidable opponents suddenly became pushovers.
Even when facing level 16 enemies, if they couldn’t kill them instantly, they could easily dispose of them. Those below level 14 were basically one-hit kills for Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi, and the gap was even bigger for Du You.
What Du You didn’t expect was that the first thing he would encounter as the enemy approached was not the Sandpeople, but the Sand Snakes on the ground.
The wolfmen who were waiting for the enemy suddenly saw the ground in front of them bulging strangely. The wolfmen responded quickly, attacking the bulges right away, from which then numerous sand snakes sprang out.
Most of these sand snakes had not reached the second tier, making them evenly matched with the wolfmen. However, quite a few of them had reached the second tier and were too much for the wolfmen due to their sheer numbers.
However, since the wolfmen managed to hold them off momentarily, Du You gained some time.
In the sky, a gigantic fireball began to take shape, suddenly smashing down toward the ground. After reaching level 16, the power of Destruction Flames was incomparable to what it had been. Within the narrow canyon, a massive explosion of flames eradicated most of the sand snakes. Even his own Hungry Wolf Legion was greatly reduced.
On the other side, Lin Yucha launched successive Explosive Scatter Shots to suppress the sudden appearance of sand snakes. When the Death Scorpions made their move, these sand snakes were restrained.
In a contest of sand control, it’s all about who has the upper hand.
In the air, Xiaozi was also in crisis, with fast-flying Sand Sculptures and their knights, many of whom had reached the second tier, arriving first.
Even though Xiaozi was a level 16 creature, she was no match for these over two hundred enemies.
Thunder Doppelganger released, a thunder and lightning eagle assembled. The two purple lightning eagles coordinated, and thunder roared in the sky.
"Ghost Pattern Crow, go help," Du You said as he saw that Xiaozi loose the battle. Without the help of Ghost Pattern Crow, the pressure on Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi suddenly increased.
In the sky, as the Weakening Aura spread, Xiaozi’s predicament improved significantly. Then, a shower of Bloodthirsty Feather Arrows rained down from the sky. The effect of the Bleeding Curse caused rapid weakening among the Sand Sculptures.
And with the Song of Misfortune resonating, the Sculptures and their knights kept making mistakes, even attacking their own people.
Taking advantage of this, Xiaozi darted left and right, eliminating many sculptures and their knights.
On the ground, Du You pushed his power to full throttle, considering that it was already the final wave. Du You didn’t have to worry about the World Will’s sudden increase in difficulty as long as he could fend off the current wave.
Du You mainly employed Destruction Flames, targeting the areas where the power of the enemy army was concentrated. Each attack led to the death or crippling of a large number of second-tier Sandpeople, efficiently clearing the enemies.
But the Quicksand Priests behind kept using various magics to boost Sandpeople or tamp down on his magic power, resulting in his magic spells only half as effective. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝
If it weren’t for the fact that these Quicksand Priests had no special abilities, it would have been even more of a headache.
"There are four of them at level 20. Only one of them is a priest, and the other three are Quicksand soldiers. I need to get rid of them as soon as possible," Du You looked at the four figures in the enemy ranks who were dressed most splendidly and had yet to make a move.
With the final wave pressing in, the situation on Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi’s side was even worse than here.
The injuries on the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs were getting worse and worse. The recovery of stamina couldn’t keep up. If the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs fell, that would really spell trouble.
Du You, with his panel opened, was ready to level up again at any time. Even if doing so would lead to a decline in his gains, he had to hold on. As long as there was hope, Du You would never give up on his territory.
Du You knew too well how precious a territory was. That he’d managed to get the territory development authorization was largely due to his good luck.
