After about a week of intensive construction, a thick city wall nestled in the dense forest has appeared on the south and west sides of White Wax Town.
The surface of the city wall is made of piled rocks, and the gaps are filled with special earthen building materials. The whole wall looks nearly three stories high, majestic and imposing, as if it took two generations and decades to build.
In just a few days, the moss of this World of Disorder began to climb up the cracks, completing the aging process for the city wall.
The dense forest, filled with Aberration plants, stretched to the horizon, as did the city walls.
However, these are all fake.
The so-called sturdy city walls are actually hollow inside; players have made extensive use of the new plant [ Iron Birch ] to construct them.
Without the guidance of the player's will, this new type of Aberration plant will continuously grow new branches in all directions, and the hardness of this tree is extremely high, making it an excellent engineering material whether it is alive or dead.
Players densely planted Iron Birch saplings, allowing their branches to grow freely and intertwine, forming a dense "net" of branches stretching for hundreds of meters.
Then the townspeople who came to the rescue pasted the prepared materials onto the outside of the densely branched Iron Birch, and soon a framework for a city wall was created.
Finally, with the help of homemade cement, they covered it with a layer of gravel, and used the soil hardened by the roots as a foundation. Soon, this facade-building city wall was completed.
Now, this fake city wall, resembling a set from a film studio, is about to face its first test.
Behind the seemingly deserted city walls, players were fully prepared for battle. After accepting the night battle mission for tonight, [ Gill's Cuisine ] had already provided them with the most basic training.
In order to get Bennett to go all in on the attack on White Wax Town, [ Gill's Cuisine ] plans to use a so-called "piecemeal tactic".
He planned to keep the battle on the brink of defeat at all times. Whenever Bennett felt victory was within reach, he would send in the next wave of players, ensuring that the vampire count could see victory but never actually grasp it.
When he angrily throws out all his chips, he will be met with a full-scale attack from hundreds of players.
With the arrival of [ Aluode's ] message, the players knew that tonight's main event was about to begin.
Outside the city, [ Aluode ] looked at the pitch-black city walls, seemingly still worried about whether the players were following the plan. So, as he charged forward, he let out a howl that was more of a warning than a roar.
The other Blood Corpse followed suit and began to howl, and the area outside the city was filled with ghostly wails and howls, as if a haunted place had been disturbed.
As the city walls drew closer, [ Aluode ]'s excitement grew.
Knowing what was about to appear before him, he silently slowed his charge, shielding dozens of pitiful Blood Corpse in front of him.
"Help me scout the way."
He said this silently to himself.
"Puff puff puff!"
A low, sharp sound of something hard piercing flesh rang out, and the dozen or so Blood Corpse running at the front collapsed to the ground, struggling a few times before going still.
They stepped onto the dense, sharp thorns on the ground, which came from the newly Aberration plant [ Blood-Drinking Thornbush ], whose hard thorns spontaneously radiate outwards during its growth.
After the fruit matures and is harvested, it only requires a few townspeople in White Wax Town who have received simple training to cut and trim the branches, which can then be quickly mass-produced into ingenious tools with a structure similar to the ancient weapon "caltrop".
These "wooden caltrops" had already been scattered dozens of meters outside the city walls during the day, hoping for the arrival of the Blood Corpse.
In the pitch black, even with their night vision, the mindless Blood Corpse naturally wouldn't avoid these terrifying obstacles. So they stepped on them without hesitation, letting the finger-length spikes pierce their feet.
Although Blood Corpse do not feel pain, they still move using nerves and muscles.
The thorny brambles, which had been made from Blood-Drinking Thornbush, had already fallen into a dormant state due to harvesting and pruning, but after sensing the fleshy environment around them, the life force contained within them began to surge again.
Smaller spikes began to grow from the large spikes, and as the Blood Corpse ran, these spikes continuously tore at their muscles and nerves, greedily absorbing the surrounding blood in the process.
Once the Blood Corpse stepped on these caltrops, their legs quickly lost their grip, and their brains were insufficient to support them in making correct judgments. Their bodies continued forward due to inertia, eventually collapsing to the ground, allowing more caltrops to pierce their bodies, and they soon became still.
[ Aluode ] frowned upon seeing this—whose brilliant invention is this? It's so amazing, don't scare that old man Bennett away...
Although he knew that several players interested in plants had been tinkering with some strange applications recently, he was only somewhat familiar with one of them named [ Haide ], and knew that the other's ID was taken from "Dr. Incarnation and Mr. Hyde".
As for the other people who were supposedly real professors, the so-called " Greenhouse " owner, and the Farm Work, he knew nothing about them.
But judging from what we've seen so far, these things they've developed are actually quite useful...
Clearing his mind of all distractions, [ Aluode ] used a short roar to gather the surrounding Blood Corpse around him.
He slowed his sprint, leading the Blood Corpse as they trampled over their companions who had been alive and kicking just seconds before, using the dead Blood Corpse as a carpet to keep charging forward.
After dozens more Blood Corpse died, the area covered with caltrops finally came to an end.
Looking back, [ Aluode ] saw only a path of flesh and blood formed by Blood Corpse- soaked corpses.
At this moment, the garrison on the city wall had also been awakened and was frantically Ignite torches to check the situation below the wall (pretending). Bennett, dozens of meters behind, saw that [ Aluode ] had rushed to the bottom of the city wall to lure the enemy. Looking at the city wall, he knew that the garrison inside the city had been alerted and was now at its weakest and most panicked. So he decisively released Psionic Energy Formula, using his authority as an earl to lead nearly a thousand Blood Corpse in a charge along the broken road.
The city walls, ablaze with fire, revealed that the defenders had spotted [ Aluode ] and his horde of Blood Corpse. They cried out in terror and began firing arrows down from their bows.
Behind the walls of White Wax Town, listening to the shouts of players on the walls, [ Do Some Farm Work ], who had come specifically to act as a special plant consultant, asked [ Gill's Cuisine ] in confusion:
"Where did you find these actors? Their acting is a bit too exaggerated."
"You don't know anything! This is the style of opera; it's meant to be exaggerated."
"Does this include using bel canto to shout for help?"
"Yes, that's the essence; after all, that guy is from a music academy."
