Within the territory of Wilderness City.
It was mainly divided into two parts.
One part was Fang Yuan's main city.
This was the area protected by city walls.
Inside the main city's walls were primarily various purple core buildings.
To damage these buildings, one first had to break through the city walls.
The other part was the wasteland outside the city, which had no walls to protect it.
For now, the only building in the wasteland outside the city was a Hunter's Lodge.
It mainly produced hunters to dispel the fog surrounding the territory. They also hunted along the way to obtain food and furs.
As the territory expanded.
These hunters would also adapt to the environment and build temporary warehouses in the wild to store food.
Once the food stores were full, they would transport everything back to the territory and place it in the main city's warehouse.
At this moment.
At a temporary warehouse outside Wilderness Territory.
The hunters were sending batch after batch of bloodstained furs back to the territory.
Most of them came from small creatures such as reindeer and wild rabbits.
After all, the hunters' combat power was limited, and they could not hunt fierce beasts.
Just as they were transporting the supplies.
Suddenly!
A loud boom rang out.
The ground began to tremble.
Countless muffled sounds approached from the northeast.
"What was that?"
"What happened?"
"Could the lord have invented some new giant machine?"
"Huh? That doesn't sound like the Lumbering Machine."
One after another, the hunters stopped what they were doing.
They looked toward the northeast.
The next second.
A massive iron hammer flew out of the darkness.
It slammed into one of the watching hunters.
In an instant, the living man who had been standing moments ago became a heap of flattened flesh.
At the same time!
The three-meter-tall figure of the Beastmen Commander emerged from the fog.
"The Human Lord's territory is right here."
"We found it!"
"Warriors!"
"Kill!"
The hundreds of beastmen behind him let out low growls.
They grabbed their throwing weapons and hurled them at the hunters outside the territory.
"Enemy attack!"
"It's an enemy attack!"
"Run!"
"If we don't run, we'll die!"
After a brief moment of hesitation, the panicked hunters.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Dropped their cargo and sprinted wildly toward the territory.
But their speed was clearly inferior to the beastmen's.
Although the hunters were less than a hundred meters from the territory.
Those hundred meters formed the dividing line between life and death.
The throwing weapons behind them struck the fleeing hunters with precision.
Even the fastest runner among them.
At the instant he was about to charge into Wilderness Territory.
A javelin pierced his neck with deadly accuracy.
The tremendous force split the hunter's head in half.
His body remained outside the territory, while his head rolled into it.
It landed at the feet of a Goblin Robot that had just finished transporting wood.
The Goblin Robot could only carry out mechanical commands.
It showed no reaction upon seeing the hunter's head.
Instead, it brandished its two huge blades and tried to continue walking outside the territory.
But soon.
A new command appeared, interrupting the Goblin Robot's actions.
"Come back!"
With Lilith accompanying him, Fang Yuan stopped the Goblin Robot.
Then he gently waved toward the Flame Mages behind him.
"Test their strength!"
The Flame Mages had already reached Tier 3.
They possessed Purple Tier 3 strength.
Although they had not yet undergone a qualitative transformation.
They were already elite troops.
After receiving Fang Yuan's order, the Flame Mage squad leader stepped forward personally.
After a series of mysterious incantations.
Three Fire Elementals were summoned.
"Go!"
"Burn the darkness. Let light endure!"
The appearance of the Flame Mages also made the beastmen outside the territory uneasy.
"Mages!"
"Why are human mages here?"
"Could this Human Lord be a noble from the legends?"
While the Beastmen Commander hesitated.
The three Fire Elementals charged out of the territory.
Without hesitation, they launched a Chain Fireball attack.
This was the Fire Elementals' primary means of attack.
Previously, the gnolls in the Gnoll lair had died to this very move.
But when the beastmen saw the Chain Fireballs flying toward them, they did not panic.
With a roar, one of them shouted, "Mere fireballs? Are you insulting beastmen warriors?"
As he spoke, he swung the great iron hammer in his hand.
He smashed it forward, and a tremendous force mixed with a fierce gust of wind actually blocked all the Chain Fireballs.
"I am a beastmen warrior!"
"I have awakened Bloodthirsty Battle Qi!"
"How dare you insult me with low-level spells?"
"Human!"
"I'll make you pay the price!"
The Beastmen Commander's voice reached Fang Yuan's ears.
He asked curiously, "Bloodthirsty Battle Qi?"
"What is that?"
Lilith quickly replied, "It's a kind of power belonging to warriors."
"It's most commonly found in physically strong individuals. Once awakened, it grants considerable combat power."
"It's fairly common among orcs, beastmen, and humans."
Fang Yuan nodded.
"These beastmen have mastered this power."
"Wouldn't that make things troublesome?"
Lilith, however, said indifferently,
"Whatever."
"I'll handle it."
Then she spoke to the Flame Mages in the distance.
"All of you, summon Fire Elementals."
"Surround these beastmen."
"Yes, my lady!"
The fifty Flame Mages who received the order began chanting their incantations.
A moment later.
A full 150 Fire Elementals appeared.
The sudden appearance of so many enemies instantly left the Beastmen Commander on the other side dumbfounded.
"W-why are there so many mages?"
The Beastmen Shaman beside him also wore a solemn expression.
"You're the only one who has mastered Bloodthirsty Battle Qi."
"The other beastmen warriors rely on their individual strength, and it will be difficult for them to withstand the human mages."
"We can only rely on collective strength."
"Commander, immediately order everyone to gather around me and form a circular formation."
"With you at the center, I will cast shamanic magic."
"I will bless all the beastmen warriors with the power of Bloodthirsty Battle Qi."
"Only then can we defeat these human mages!"
At this moment, the Beastmen Commander did not hesitate for even an instant.
As the Fire Elementals surrounded him.
He raised the iron hammer in his hand.
"Gather around me!"
"Shields on the outside, spears in the center!"
"Protective circular formation!"
"Roar!"
All the beastmen let out a synchronized roar.
Then they quickly formed a massive circular formation.
They used their shields and spears to protect themselves completely.
At this moment.
The Beastmen Shaman began chanting, and mysterious incantations infused the Beastmen Commander's body one after another.
Traces of bloodthirsty battle qi began to spill out.
They linked all the beastmen together.
As the Bloodthirsty Battle Qi appeared, a red glow emerged on the shields of the beastmen's circular formation.
When the Fire Elementals surrounded them and launched a Chain Fireball attack.
The fireballs struck the shields.
In an instant, they were actually blocked by the red Bloodthirsty Battle Qi.
Fang Yuan frowned at the sight.
"So powerful?"
"It seems these beastmen aren't weak."
What the beastmen did next.
Surprised Fang Yuan even more.
After blocking the first wave of Chain Fireballs.
The Beastmen Shaman in the center suddenly shouted,
"Ancestor spirits above, grant me the power of bloodlust."
"Blood Spear!"
As his voice fell.
A long spear of blood suddenly appeared in the circular formation.
The next moment, the blood spear shot out and transformed into hundreds of tiny blood spears that struck the Fire Elemental.
In an instant, the Fire Elemental let out a shrill cry.
It was actually beaten into smoke and scattered.
"Fuck!"
Fang Yuan cried out in surprise this time.
"That powerful!"
Lilith, who was standing nearby, said when she saw this.
"War Magic!"
"This shaman among the beastmen isn't weak."
"But if this is all you've got..."
"You're still too weak."
"Now that you've had your fun..."
"It's my turn to act!"
Lilith raised her hand, and the magic staff in it began spinning through the air.
Streams of profound magical energy appeared in the void.
"Whirlwind of the Dancing Flame, heed my summons!"
"Transform into a storm!"
"Spell!"
"Flame Storm!"
As her voice fell, Lilith clenched one hand.
The next second.
A blazing inferno suddenly burst from the circular formation of beastmen outside the territory.
The flames rose from the depths of the earth, accompanied by the power of a storm.
In an instant, the entire circular formation exploded.
"Ahh~"
"It's a human high-level mage!"
"No, my battle aura!"
"Help! I'm burning to death!"
"Ancient God, save your people!"
But no amount of wailing could change anything.
Under Lilith's exquisite control of magic,
the Flame Storm rampaged through this small area.
After five minutes had passed,
Lilith withdrew her magic staff, clapped her hands, and said to Fang Yuan,
"Done!"
"Lord, you can clean up the battlefield now!"
This was the first time Fang Yuan had witnessed Lilith's violent side.
He raised his head with a somewhat wooden "ah."
Then he looked toward the battlefield.
Only a pile of ashes remained there.
Did this really need to be called cleaning up the battlefield?
However, the notification sound for acquiring spoils soon rang out, filling Fang Yuan with delight.
"Ding, the Purple Unit Beastmen Centurion squad has been slain. Clear the battlefield and settle the spoils?"
