Leaderboard Revealed, Shen Xing's Ranking!
A black moon hung above his head, and he exuded a gray aura.
Upon contact with this gray aura, all the chaotic monsters within a 300-meter radius had gray spots rapidly appear on their corpse-white skin.
Before long, as if all its strength had been drained, it collapsed silently.
From the corpses of those monsters, wisps of gray energy floated out and were absorbed by the Black Moon Death Knight.
His aura grew stronger and stronger, and he cleared monsters faster and faster!
They didn't even need to lift a finger; the two of them could simply walk into the monster horde and clear out all the monsters along the way.
"Those are... Commander Black Arrow and Commander Xiao Hei!" an orc exclaimed. "These two are incredibly strong; just standing there, the monsters can't get past!"
"Indeed, they are among the top ten in our territory; their combat power is truly astonishing!"
"These two commanders seem to be even stronger than Commander Gorehowl!"
"..."
Hearing the orcs' discussion, Gorehowl became furious.
He was just about to unleash a wide-area attack skill to show the orc infantry behind him how powerful he was.
But upon reflection, it seems that all my abilities are used for one-on-one duels, tracking, or stirring up conflict.
The only area-of-effect skill is the newly activated hero skill [Great Collapse - Blood Rage Funeral Song].
But isn't it a bit of a waste to use it to deal with these small monsters?
After a moment of thought, the Gorehowl Emperor seemed to remember something, and his eyes lit up.
"Bring me the drum!" He looked at an orc in the distance with a war drum hanging around his neck.
The orc strode forward. "General Gorehowl, here you go!"
Gorehowl narrowed its eyes instantly and asked, "What did you just call me?"
"Blood... Gorehowl General..." the orc asked somewhat nervously, "Did I call him the wrong name?"
"You didn't get it wrong." Gorehowl laughed heartily. "Keep calling me that from now on. Later I'll teach you how to wield dual swords; it's my signature move."
Upon hearing this, the orc was overjoyed. "Thank you, General Gorehowl!"
Gorehowl was even more satisfied, and then hung the [Drum of Invigoration] around his neck.
However, he didn't ring the doorbell immediately; instead, he took a deep breath.
"Suck--"
In an instant, his chest began to swell rapidly, and his face flushed red.
Then, his abdomen throbbed, and everyone heard a clear heartbeat!
"Knock knock!"
As if activating some program, followed by an even stronger heartbeat.
"Knock knock--"
"Thump thump-thump-thump-thump"
The dull thumping of a heartbeat echoed throughout the territory, carrying a peculiar rhythm, like the playing of some kind of war symphony!
All friendly units that heard the drumbeats felt their blood begin to surge and their fighting spirit boil.
Moreover, as Gorehowl struck the [Drum of Invigoration] on his neck, the tangible sound waves rippled through the air.
Upon hearing the drumbeats, the friendly units experienced another surge in speed, and a powerful surge of strength coursed through their bodies!
[War Drum] grants all allies a 60% attack speed and a 40% movement speed bonus (with additional bonuses when combined with other musical instruments)!
The [Drum of Invigoration] Warsong of Courage increases the attack power and movement speed of all friendly units by 25%!
The combined effect of these two factors resulted in a significant increase in the combat effectiveness of all generals and troops!
Black Arrow and Xiao Hei became even more efficient at killing, transforming into two moving calamities that quickly cleared out all the monsters on the south gate side.
"As expected of Commander Black Arrow and Commander Xiao Hei, their speed in clearing out the enemy is incredible!" an orc exclaimed with admiration.
"Hmm?" Gorehowl glared at him.
The orcs quickly added, "General Gorehowl is also very powerful. Without your war drums, the two commanders couldn't have killed so many enemies!"
Gorehowl in satisfaction and then continued to beat the war drums.
On the other side, at the North Gate battlefield.
This area is guarded by Lord Fordring, leading a legion of the Dretch Legion and Infernal Legion.
The city wall is also guarded by the strongest fire Leina, who provides [Flame Aura] to the troops, further enhancing their lethality.
At this moment, seeing the enemy approaching, all two hundred-plus Dretch raised their arms, and ghostly green Hellfire rapidly condensed!
"Splash! Splash!"
One after another, eerie green fireballs, each the size of a water vat, shot into the sky, trailing green flames as they saturated the monster horde below.
"Boom! Boom boom!!"
Each fireball exploded upon impact, sending flames soaring into the sky and engulfing everything in their path.
Its power is even several times stronger than the Demon Flame Turret!
After all, Shen Xing had embedded two Epic Rank gems, [Flame Gem] and [Blaze Crystal Gem], in the Lesser Demon Lair.
Increase the fire damage of all Dretch by a full 50%!
Leina's Flame Aura provides an additional 30% Flame Damage.
In addition, Luna, the Silver Moon Knight Captain, possesses [Silver Moon Star Ring] and a series of passive abilities, which provide an additional 30% increase in ranged damage and attack range.
With all these enhancements, the attack power of these Dretch reached an unbelievable level.
"Boom! Boom boom boom!!!"
In just one burst, all the monsters within a radius of three to four hundred meters were wiped out.
Seeing this, Shen Xing felt extremely gratified.
"As expected of the Dretch Legion I spent a fortune to build, its power is indeed formidable!"
"If this barrage were to strike simultaneously, even Tier Four Boss would be severely injured or killed!"
The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, feeling that the resources he had spent were well worth it.
At this moment, on the battlefield at the North Gate, under the continuous bombardment of the Dretch Legion, other troop types didn't even have a chance to make a move.
Even old man Fordring could only carry his shield and become a background figure.
After confirming that all three battlefields were safe, Shen Xing turned his gaze towards the west gate.
Uh... it seems there's even less need to look at this.
After all, this area is guarded by Silver Moon Knight Captain Luna and her more than two hundred Silver Moon Knights.
As the highest-ranking being in the territory and possessing the strength of Tier Four Overlord Rank, this Silver Moon Knight Captain's attacks on these second- and third-tier monsters were practically a matter of dimensional reduction.
Chapter 261: The Rankings are Announced, and Shen Xing's Ranking is Here!
Luna swung her hands repeatedly, unleashing a series of Moon Blade that traced silvery-white arcs of death in the air.
The moment it made contact with the horde of monsters, the sharp Moon Blade sliced through their pale skin and tore apart their flesh.
It then shattered into several pieces on the spot.
Furthermore, each Moon Blade, upon hitting an enemy, instantly splits into four or five smaller Moon Blade, spreading outwards towards the surrounding enemies.
More Moon Blade bounced back and forth among the monsters, then continued to split.
In an instant, the entire battlefield was filled with Moon Blade of Xiao Xiao, resembling a grand slaughter, beautiful yet fraught with danger.
Large numbers of monsters were cut into pieces; their hatchlings could not even keep up with the speed at which the Moon Blade Split.
Before long, the monster horde ahead was cleared out.
Luna continued riding the black panther, throwing out more Moon Blade as she pushed the battle line forward.
Her monster-killing efficiency alone is comparable to that of a three-thousand-person ranged army.
That's ridiculous...
Shen Xing sighed with ease, "This Silver Moon Knight Captain is simply born for large-scale battlefields like this."
"It feels like she alone, at full power, would be enough to stop all the attacking monsters."
"Excellent, excellent. In this way, even if the monster tide's offensive intensifies, I can easily handle it."
Having confirmed that all four battlefields were safe, Lord Shen gradually felt relieved.
Then, he leisurely sat in his wheelchair and slowly surveyed the city wall.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was three o'clock in the morning.
More and more Chaos Familiars continued to emerge from the blood mist, frantically attacking the territory's defenses without any sign of stopping.
Shen Xing analyzed in a low voice, "According to the system's introduction, this first night's strange tide will continue until six o'clock in the morning, which means there will be another three hours of high-intensity attacks."
"A leaderboard will be released at that time, and the ranking rewards will be available for viewing."
"In addition, a Points Shop will also be opened at the same time."
"I wonder what the leaderboard rewards are this time. Will I be able to squeeze into the top 100 and get the 'thug' reward?"
Although he had previously topped the list twice in a row, the current rankings are different from before.
It's not just a ranking of all levels, but even a competition among all the strongest individuals from both worlds.
Therefore, Shen Xing was not arrogant and set a goal for himself to be in the top 100.
Of course, even making the top 100 is already an extraordinary achievement.
After all, he had only broken through to the Expert Rank lord level two and a half months ago.
Not to mention those veterans who have been stuck at the Expert Rank for many years, there are even Master and Grandmaster above them.
The Blue Star World and the Red Sand World have been in contact with the Land of Mist for so many years, and the number of Master Rank experts they have accumulated is absolutely staggering.
"Let's continue to play it safe and steady; making it into the top 100 would be a victory."
Lord Shen made up his mind and continued his inspection.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Land of Mist.
There is a special red territory here, with no other buildings around it.
There were nothing there—no city walls, no arrow towers, no troops.
