Chapter 33: The Second Wave of the Dark Offensive!

After Qin Luo dispatched the two newly summoned Undead Necromancers to battle, he opened the chat channel and forum once again to see how the other lords were progressing!

【Dark creatures? They're nothing special; I thought they'd be much more formidable!】

【They aren't particularly strong. Since we have the advantage of terrain, we don't need to engage them head-on. We can lure them out in batches and kill them slowly, one by one. Dozens of Ordinary-tier dark monsters were wiped out in no time!】

【Indeed, although the battle losses are somewhat severe, compared to the harvest, it's completely worth it!】

【Sigh, what a pity. If only I had known sooner. Last night, I was so terrified by the hideous appearance of these dark monsters that I didn't dare to go out. Who would have thought they were just all bark and no bite? While these dark monsters are stronger than wild monsters, it's not by much!】

【Why does it seem like you all can defeat them, while my dispatched troops were completely wiped out?】

【You idiot, the dark monster offensive encountered by every lord is different—some are strong, some are weak. There is no fixed standard yet, but some people on the forum have analyzed that it relates to the level of the territory, the strength of the territory, or the environment surrounding the territory!】

【No wonder. I see other lords encountering Ordinary-tier dark monsters, while I encountered all Black Iron-tier ones. But even if they are Black Iron-tier, they still can't stop my Titan troops!】

【Titans? Are they Transcendental troops? I worship you, big boss!】

【.】

Qin Luo watched the chat of the silly lords and discovered that many lords had successfully repelled the first wave of the dark monster offensive.

It was evident that after two days of growth, more and more lords were gradually adapting to their new identities and environments.

"It seems I'm not the only one making progress!"

Qin Luo murmured.

Furthermore.

Although he possessed the Mythical-grade talent Undead Scourge, his troops were only Ordinary-tier, so his starting point was slightly lower.

Compared to ordinary lords, Qin Luo was naturally far ahead.

But compared to those lords who possessed Rare and Transcendental troops, Qin Luo was still lacking quite a bit.

After all, once their troops were recruited, they were already Black Iron-tier, and their growth attributes weren't bad either, so their strength increased at a very fast pace.

And at this moment.

The second wave of the dark offensive had quietly arrived.

Qin Luo noticed the black mist in the distance constantly expanding, even spreading to a position less than fifty meters from his territory.

Awoo!

Another heart-chilling wolf howl rang out, and immediately after, dark, sturdy-bodied Dark Werewolves surged out from the black mist.

Soon, they arrived in front of the territory, at the very place where the previous battle had just occurred.

"There must be at least two or three hundred of them!"

"The number of Dark Werewolves is not only greater than yesterday's Ogres, but their strength is also quite formidable!"

"Is it because my territory has been upgraded to Ordinary Level 3? Or is it because the combat power of my troops has increased, so the dark monsters I encounter have become stronger as well?"

Qin Luo couldn't help but recall the analysis posts by some lords on the forum regarding dark monsters; some of those viewpoints did indeed hold some truth.

"Let's see how the Undead handle this first!"

Qin Luo maintained his calm, spectator-like expression.

Firstly, he was still within the Novice Protection Period, so he had absolutely no fear of the dark monsters outside invading his territory.

As long as his own life was not under threat, he could naturally think about things with great calmness and composure.

Secondly, the combat power of his Undead was also quite impressive, and Qin Luo did not believe his side would lose.

Thirdly, once these dark monsters were killed, he would receive super-rich rewards; who could refuse such a deadly temptation!

Awoo!

A large group of Dark Werewolves howled at the sky, baring their sharp fangs, and approached step by step.

On the Undead side, they were just as calm as Qin Luo, all standing within the territory's boundary line, not rushing out immediately like in the previous battle.

"Almost there!"

Seeing that the majority of the Dark Werewolves were already positioned at the site of the previous battlefield, Wu Ershiyi revealed a ferocious and terrifying smile.

Beside Wu Ershiyi were the two Undead Necromancers, Wu Ershier and Wu Ersansan, whom Qin Luo had recruited using the Black Iron-tier Dark Werewolf leader.

They stepped forward, took up the same positions as Wu Ershiyi, and began chanting the incantations of Undead magic.

Corpse Explosion Technique!

On the battlefield, there were still seventy or eighty corpses of Dark Werewolves. Under the manipulation of the three Undead Necromancers, they instantly erupted into bursts of dazzling firelight. The terrifying explosion struck the Dark Werewolves on the battlefield, and the massive energy waves surged in all directions, instantly tearing apart and blowing away the surrounding sand and stones.

If the Undead Skeleton Soldiers hadn't been standing within the territory's protection shield, they would likely have suffered casualties of at least over half under this explosion.

"Sure enough, as long as one reasonably utilizes this Novice Protection Shield, it can add quite a bit to one's winning odds!"

"Even a lord with weak troops, as long as the method is appropriate, will certainly be able to annihilate the dark monsters!"

"This dark offensive under the Scarlet Moon, rather than calling it a threat, is more like a test and a reward for the lords!"

Qin Luo looked outside the territory, where the sounds of explosions on the battlefield rose one after another, and one Dark Werewolf after another was blown to pieces, flesh and blood flying everywhere.

And inside the territory, not far away, it was a state of peace and tranquility, completely unaffected by the explosions.

Rumble!

The explosions lasted for about a minute, and the entire battlefield was filled with a heavy smell of gunpowder and blood.

Of the nearly three hundred Dark Werewolves that had walked out of the black mist, only less than a third remained alive now.

And none of them were in one piece; all of them carried injuries to varying degrees.

"Kill!"

Wu Ershiyi shouted loudly.

As his voice fell, the three Bone Generals led more than six hundred Undead Skeleton Soldiers and charged out rapidly.

Before long, the remaining Ordinary-tier Dark Werewolves fell one after another under the bone claws of the Undead Skeleton Soldiers.

Now, only five Black Iron-tier Dark Werewolf leaders remained alive, struggling bitterly.

Not only were they suffering from the siege of the numerous Undead Skeleton Soldiers, but they also had to be wary of the dark magic released from time to time by the three Undead Necromancers!

Bang!

One Dark Werewolf leader was slightly careless and was struck by a bolt of dark magic, flying backward.

The three Bone Generals seized the rare opportunity, and five sharp bone spears instantly pierced through its body.

Puchi!

That Dark Werewolf leader died on the spot!

Before long, the remaining five Dark Werewolf leaders could no longer hold on and were defeated.
