The Second Night Ends, a Million Points! (Continued)
"Alright, let's stick to last night's formation and split into four groups."
Shen Xing ordered, "Tonight's battle may be even more intense than last night's. Be prepared."
The soldiers straightened their expressions and replied in unison, "Yes, Lord!"
As soon as they finished speaking, they rushed to the battlefields of the four city gates, led by their respective generals.
Soon, they were all stationed at their respective posts.
Everything is ready; now we simply await the arrival of the second night's Blood Mist Frenzy.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was 11:55 PM, when the system notification appeared on time.
[Attention all Pioneer, the second night of the Blood Mist Frenzy is approaching!]
[The adaptation period is over. The difficulty of the upcoming monster waves will gradually increase, and the number of monsters will also increase. Please be prepared!]
Upon seeing this notification, all the lords in both worlds tensed up.
Although I had anticipated the increased difficulty of the challenge, I still couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
After all, quite a few lords had already perished during last night's adaptation period.
Now that the difficulty has increased again, no one is feeling confident.
At this moment, everyone could see the densely packed figures within the blood mist, along with a series of rustling sounds.
It was as if countless evil spirits had appeared in the fog, just waiting for the right moment to pounce on us all.
In the increasingly tense atmosphere, the time arrived at 00:00.
At the same time, the familiar, short chirping sound from last night echoed again from the fog.
"Waaah--"
It seemed to have sounded some kind of attack signal, as massive numbers of Chaos Familiars Juvenile, octopuses, vanguard officers, aberrations, and so on... all swarmed out.
As if a floodgate had been opened, everything in sight was a deathly white expanse, rolling and churning in layers, creating a visually striking scene.
"This is definitely much larger than last night's."
"Conservatively speaking, the number of the strange waves attacking tonight is almost double that of last night."
Shen Xing quickly did the calculations and was amazed at how much the difficulty had increased.
In ordinary territory, such chaos would likely result in severe damage, or even complete annihilation.
Fortunately, I didn't use my full strength last night, and many generals and troops didn't really have to fight.
"Splash..."
"Hiss--rustling--"
At this moment, a massive horde of monsters launched a tidal wave of attacks, charging towards them with strange cries.
This first wave of attack was already comparable to the most intense attack last night.
In the blink of an eye, they broke through the blockade of defensive towers and cannons and continued their advance towards the city wall.
800 meters...
700 meters...
600 meters...
Countless Chaos Familiars were blasted apart by cannons and arrow towers, leaving behind a massive amount of corpses and fragments with every meter they advanced.
But these monsters ignored the surrounding artillery fire and continued to advance, stepping over the corpses of their comrades.
Soon, they approached within 500 meters of the city wall.
At this distance, without Shen Xing's command, the generals had already issued the order to attack!
"Silver Moon Knights, unleash the Moon Judgment upon them!" Luna shouted, her Moon Blade slicing through the air in several deadly arcs.
"Black Moon Knights, crush them!" A deep voice emanated from beneath the Xiao Hei mask, as the rider, wielding a massive scythe, charged forward.
"Wolf riders, move out and taste our blades!" Gorehowl raised his flaming greatsword high, unleashing tongues of fire tens of meters long.
Under the command of the generals, the various units launched their respective concentrated attacks!
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh--!"
"Boom! Boom boom!"
A dense barrage of silver Moon Arrow rained down on the monster horde, exploding into Heavenly Star, instantly killing and wounding a large number of them.
The Black Moon Knights Black Moon spinning above their heads, Charge, pulling in countless monsters from the surrounding area and pulverizing them all!
The wolf rider legion, wielding long-handled battle axes, moved like agile hunters, leaping and slicing through the monster horde, slaughtering large numbers of monsters!
A blazing Hellfire Fireball streaked across the sky, igniting an Infernal upon landing among the monsters.
The skeleton archers' Dark Arrow, like splashes of ink, slashed and killed swarms of Chaos Familiars.
The orcs raised their battle axes and charged at the enemy like madmen, fearing that their comrades would kill more enemies than they did.
Even the Kodo Beast Legion made an appearance.
They moved back and forth near the city walls like war machines.
Some scattered monsters were simply crushed by their giant hooves.
If there are too many monsters, the orc artillerymen on their backs will activate the demon cannons, letting them experience the terror of being hit by a giant cannon!
The combat power displayed by the more than 3,000 troops in Shen Xing's territory at this moment is even more terrifying than that of a 30,000-strong army!
After all, the quality of his troops was too high.
The average person is an Elite, Boss One Star are everywhere, and there are even quite a few Boss.
No matter how many monsters rushed out of the blood mist, they could not shake their defenses.
Shen Xing watched for a while, and became increasingly satisfied.
"Not bad. With the current strength of my territory, I can still easily withstand the attack of the second night's monster tide."
"However, based on last night's experience, the monsters' attacks will intensify in the latter half of the night."
"Although we should be able to hold on, the casualties will definitely be higher than last night."
But that's normal.
As the saying goes, "An army is raised for a thousand days to be used for one," now is the time to put their value to the test.
Three hours passed quickly amidst the fierce battle.
It is 3:15 AM.
At this moment, the open ground outside the territory was piled high with spoils of war.
Looking around, there were Soul Stone, Greater Soul Stone, Invar Alloy Fragment, and so on everywhere...
In these three hours, they killed a massive number of monsters, almost equivalent to six hours last night.
Shen Xing's points also surged from 560,000 to 1.14 million.
Of course, such intense combat also takes a huge toll.
The Soul Stone consumed by the cannons and defensive towers alone amounted to an astonishing 200,000.
The soldiers were also exhausted.
Apart from a few generals who remained energetic, everyone else was already panting heavily.
"Fortunately, this high-intensity schedule only lasts for 6 hours a day, otherwise even I couldn't handle it."
"However... based on last night's experience, the monsters will intensify their attacks in the latter half of the night."
Why is there no news tonight?
Shen Xing muttered to himself, a hint of doubt in his mind.
At that moment, he suddenly noticed that the number of troops on the city wall had changed.
I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but it seems like there are a few fewer skeleton soldiers.
Shen Xing kept a Mind's Eye and silently observed his surroundings.
They soon noticed that several skeleton archers had suddenly disappeared.
Without a sound, it vanished right under his nose!
"Um?"
Shen Xing narrowed his eyes instantly.
Before he could examine it closely, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.
It felt like something sharp was stabbing at me!
He stared wide-eyed, but couldn't see anything!
What is that?
Shen Xing was slightly startled, and in a flash, he switched to his strongest defensive form, the 'Ruin Black Dragon Form'!
And in the next second...
"Puff!"
Shen Xing felt a sharp pain in his chest and stumbled back two steps.
He subconsciously touched his chest and found a pool of blood.
"Good heavens, even my black dragon form almost couldn't withstand it. What kind of creature is this?"
He examined the wound on his chest; thankfully, it wasn't deep, and most of the attack had been neutralized by the scales.
"Dragon Lord!"
"My lord!"
Two exclamations rang out from the sky.
When Leina and Onyxia saw Shen Xing being attacked, their eyes instantly turned red.
The next second, both of them were simultaneously engulfed in terrifying killing intent and rushed towards him at lightning speed!
"No need to come over, I'm fine."
Shen Xing stopped them, looking into the void ahead. "Let me drag this guy out."
Upon hearing this, the two women paused in their tracks, forcibly suppressing the impulse within them.
Within this territory, the lord's orders are absolute.
Despite their concerns, they chose to comply.
However, both of them had already prepared their attacks and were watching intently.
They would act instantly should the lord be in any danger.
At this moment, Shen Xing took a deep breath to calm himself down.
