Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 71 War Lord

"Stealth? That's impressive technology!"

Although I didn't get the hidden technologies that Lei Chi most wanted, such as [Ancient Bloodline] and [Starry Sky Bloodline], the [Stealth] technology is still pretty good.

Allowing the Beast Towers to lie dormant makes it easier to farm kill counts for certain Beast Towers, and placing them in the Thunder Pool area would be an even better fit.

He was afraid that his own defensive towers were too strong and no one would dare to invade. Now that the Beast Towers are lying in wait, why would players be afraid of not being able to successfully invade?

Lei Chi immediately went to the War Corridor and found that all the Beast Towers had indeed gained a new [Stealth] skill. This was a status skill that Lei Chi could turn on or off. When a Beast Tower was in stealth mode, it would be invisible to outsiders, and of course, the Beast Tower would not launch an attack.

The only thing that bothered Lei Chi was that the defensive towers were in a dormant state, and the camp's defense index would decrease accordingly.

A decrease in the defense index will affect the rewards from the claims chest.

Therefore, if you intend to commit insurance fraud, you should think it over carefully.

"Other players can no longer check my camp's information. The extra effect of the stealth technology is also quite good. It's a pity that I can't enter the leaderboard. Doesn't that mean I'll lose many opportunities to be admired in the future? Oh well, there are gains and losses. Overall, this is not a loss..."

Lei Chi sighed briefly, then went to the Challenge Hall to check on the changes to the Challenge BOSS.

A new challenge boss has spawned, including a level 10 gold boss called [War Lord]. I think it's worth a try.

After all, the level 10 gold boss only has 4 HP. If you set up your defense towers well, you still have a good chance of taking it down.

So, for the next period of time, Lei Chi used the [Beast Relocation] skill to adjust the position of a Beast Tower every five minutes, concentrating the defensive firepower behind the Jingyanggang gate tower.

Lei Chi believes that any target that manages to break through Jingyang Ridge has been slowed down. Being slowed down effectively increases the output time, allowing the Beast Tower to deal more damage.

After setting up the defensive towers, Lei Chi went to start the [War Lord] challenge mission.

Soon, a "monster" rushed out of the spacetime wormhole!

This "monster" is over three meters tall. It has the upper body of a human, is very burly, wears a horned helmet, is covered in simple armor, has an orc-like face, has large fangs at the corners of its mouth, holds a huge gray-black halberd in both hands, and has a rhinoceros-like body below its navel, with four thick hooves, iron chains tied around its ankles, gray-brown skin, and a thick tail with sharp spikes.

"Woohoo..."

Upon his entrance, he roared loudly and raised his halberd high, looking quite intimidating.

At that moment, Lei Chi received a system notification: "Ding, the War Lord has unleashed a skill; ten War Puppets are about to appear!"

Following the system notification, ten meteorites, each the size of a small car, plummeted from the sky and crashed onto the War Corridor.

The meteorites quickly transformed into stone giants three or four meters tall, each shaking its head and arms, and then took large strides forward.

The stone giants are, of course, the war golems summoned by the War Lord. They have 10,000 health points and 10 armor points, each comparable to a level 10 bronze boss.

At this time, the [Rubber Duck] and [White Dove] had been moved by Lei Chi to the back of the Jingyanggang gate tower. There were no defensive towers to attack the [War Lord] and the War Golem. They strolled around, their health at full before entering Jingyanggang.

As a result, all ten war puppets perished in Jingyanggang. Although their armor was high, the Azure Dragon possessed a chaotic attack, so the damage was not reduced.

More than seventy seconds passed before the War Lord swaggered back into the War Corridor. By then, it had lost more than eight thousand health points and was also suffering from poison.

The next moment, the lightning strike from the Thunder Lizard exploded on the head of the golden BOSS, followed by a tiger's roar, and then a fire shockwave, a cold shockwave, water cannonballs, porcupine bristles, and more, all of which hit the War Lord.

Immediately, the BOSS began to move forward in slow motion. Under the quadruple deceleration effect, its movement speed was only 8.82% of its original speed, and it could not take a single step for several seconds.

Lei Chi thought to himself that if he could release the Azure Dragon from Jingyang Ridge at this moment and let it join the attack, that would be great.

However, even without the Azure Dragon, the War Lord would still be doomed. Although the output of ranged beast towers such as the Water Cannon Turtle and the Bloodthirsty Porcupine is not high, the War Lord moves too slowly.

Just as Lei Chi was looking forward to what rewards he would receive for completing the challenge, complaints were rife in the thug gang's guild hall.

"I lost three levels in a row, and I even used three bottles of healing potions!"

"I drank five bottles!"

"Did you all die in battle? What did you manage to loot?"

"I didn't get a single penny!"

"They didn't even steal anything, they didn't put up any big-character posters, and they didn't throw any paint!"

"So, your invasion this time has been a complete failure!"

"Poor Group Seven, their average level dropped by 3 levels, that's a huge loss!"

"Even Wu Song would have to lie down if he went there..."

"It's all because of the wrong intelligence; what's crouching on Jingyang Ridge is a green dragon, not a big tiger..."

Wang Daochang stood at the front of the crowd with a dark face; he was very unhappy.

Taurus squatted down next to him, looking dejected, and asked, "Team leader, can we turn this job down? I'm done! I've already dropped six levels; it's really not worth it for this little bit of money!"

Wang Daochang remained silent.

Another player nearby said, "Don't call me next time, I wouldn't go even for 200 yuan!"

"Yeah, yeah, don't call me anymore. It makes me feel like I'm going there to my death, how stupid!"

"Putting up posters and splashing paint won't work; that guy's camp cleans itself up automatically. It's a waste of effort!"

"Let's pass this job on to Group Six or Group Five..."

Listening to the complaints of his subordinates, Wang Daochang was also frustrated. As the team leader, what could he say at this moment?

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Daochang sent a message to Chen Zhigao: "Boss, that little job of infiltrating the Thunder Pool camp... let's cancel it. We can't do it anymore. If we keep doing it, my team will fall apart!"

"What happened? Did the car overturn?"

"Um!"

"You can't handle the tower without me and Old Niu carrying it? You're so useless!"

"Master, this isn't my fault. There's a green dragon on Jingyang Ridge..."

"Alright, I don't have time to nag you now. What's with all this green and red pepper stuff? That dangerous area keeps getting invaded, how can it possibly develop? I've already taken the job; it concerns the guild's reputation, you have to finish it, or I'll dock your bonus. That's it!"

"But……"

"No buts. I don't care what methods you use, I only care about the results. You can't even handle a small player, how can you be a team leader? That's it, I'm busy here, no time for idle chatter!"

Chen Zhigao ended the call. He was currently leading a team to infiltrate the camp of the Da Ma Gang members and had no interest in listening to Wang Daochang's detailed explanation.

Wang Daochang was even more displeased. He snorted coldly, ignored the complaining crowd around him, and logged off.

Meanwhile, on Lei Chi's side, the [War Lord] was defeated, and a system notification sounded in his mind: "Ding, congratulations on successfully challenging and defeating the [War Lord], completing the challenge mission. Rewards are being generated for you, calculating..."

"Ding! Congratulations! Your war corridor has been extended by 100 meters. You have gained one opportunity to rearrange all the defensive towers."

"Ding! A new challenge boss has appeared in the War Hall: the LV15 Gold Boss [War Lord], awaiting your challenge!"
