Chapter 54

【S-level light pillar, point value 500, contains territory upgrade token, can increase level by one】

Chen Ping had just sensed the light pillar when he was startled by the information passed back.

It was actually a prop to directly upgrade the territory!

After the first assessment began, the restrictions on territory upgrades were also lifted.

At that time, Chen Ping was still waiting for the subsequent conditions required for upgrades to appear; he didn't expect the result to be in this way.

No wonder few territories above level five passed in previous Lord Trials.

This kind of S-level light pillar must be extremely scarce throughout the entire trial process.

Since that was the case, whether for points or for the territory, Chen Ping couldn't let it go.

The shield guards began to speed up and spread out to surround the light pillar.

A-level light pillars had a group of guardian beasts to look after them; he didn't know what the enemy of the S-level light pillar was.

"Others are coming from another direction."

Milan suddenly warned Chen Ping.

This valley was very large, and there were many entrances; it was not strange for others to come over.

His existing army scale was not enough to blockade the valley.

It was just that the defensive power possessed by the S-level light pillar was definitely not weak, and Chen Ping had to remain cautious.

If others came over, they would probably just be giving themselves away.

But at this time, he couldn't notify or stop others either.

Ten minutes after Milan's warning, squads of soldiers appeared one after another on the hills around the valley.

Chen Ping had his shield guards gather and set up a defensive posture.

The equipment of those soldiers looked very uniform, clearly not from ordinary territories.

After appearing, they didn't offend or launch an attack, but started to reorganize and gather on the spot, and it could be seen that there was a clear division of labor.

Subsequently, lords riding tall horses appeared in the field of vision one by one.

When they saw the Nine Provinces flag unfurled by Chen Ping, the expressions on their faces couldn't help but change.

There were a total of eight lords in the coalition, but there were over a thousand soldiers, clearly more than eight territories.

It seemed that the other party had adopted a strategy of leaving some to guard and some to attack.

Because there were many people, the action was naturally more relaxed.

"Is that Lord Chen Ping in front?"

"We are the Eastern District Alliance; we didn't expect to meet you here."

"This S-level light pillar looks very powerful; perhaps we need to join forces."

One of the tall lords opposite stood out and shouted towards Chen Ping's side.

Everyone tacitly didn't enter the valley, so as not to stimulate the guardian forces of the light pillar.

Lords who could form such an alliance in the early stage didn't have grass in their brains; they immediately proposed to join forces.

At this time, in order to increase their own momentum, the lords of the alliance side had their heroic souls stand out.

Those soldiers who were not led by lords were also commanded by their heroic souls.

After appearing together, it was also quite imposing.

A rough look showed that there were both mage and warrior professions, and even strange exotic beasts.

"I'll be responsible for this direction; leave the other three directions to you."

Chen Ping looked at the valley and said to the alliance side.

Since everyone was going to join forces, they naturally had to divide the areas well, so as not to argue later.

But his proposal was rejected by the alliance side.

"Lord Chen Ping, you are first on the Golden List, with extraordinary strength."

"We suggest that the valley be divided into left and right, centered on the light pillar; we will attack the left side together, and you will be responsible for the right side."

Chen Ping's four-part valley was changed to a half-and-half split.

It seemed that the other party spoke high-sounding words, but they wanted to put greater pressure on Chen Ping.

After all, Chen Ping's previous performance made the alliance side not very satisfied.

They wanted to test Chen Ping's bottom line and also wanted to borrow the power of the light pillar to grind down Chen Ping's strength.

Chen Ping knew this well.

At this time, new lords were successively bringing troops into the valley.

But after seeing Chen Ping and the alliance side, they all decisively chose to leave.

At the same time, the matter of an S-level light pillar appearing in the Eastern District was also spread in the public channel.

Some busybodies even reported the coordinates directly, immediately attracting the attention of others on the public channel.

Those who were close by also put down what they were doing and wanted to rush over to share a piece of the pie.

The people on the alliance side looked at Chen Ping, wanting to know how Chen Ping would respond.

And Chen Ping was just looking at the light pillar at this time.

"Plant the flag; those who cross the line will be killed without mercy."

He waved his arm, and Chen Ping was too lazy to argue with the alliance side again.

He had an intuition that the more people the valley attracted, the more accidents there would be.

It was best to end the battle here before others arrived!

66: The guardian of the S-level light pillar, Chen Ping's intuition

The Heaven Rewards Diligence talent was essentially a development-type talent.

It could not be used in combat.

Back at the Sea Fantasy final test, Chen Ping used a clever design.

He utilized Lu Fei's lack of understanding of him to greatly increase the round time, in exchange for development time.

But at the moment, it was naturally impossible to do so.

As for the alliance side, several lords all had combat-type talents.

The reason they were sent to lead the army to explore was also because of this.

At this time, they activated them together, and the army under their command underwent huge changes.

All soldiers were visibly a size taller, and even their equipment and weapons were glowing.

In the valley, it was unknown if it felt their powerful momentum, but changes also appeared at this time.

Stone tablets broke through the ground one after another, and the inscriptions on the tablets flickered constantly.

Then, gargoyles manifested from the stone tablets one by one, letting out hisses towards the surroundings.

【Astral Gargoyle, LV20, Stone and Space dual attributes】

【Life 2000, Attack 1000, Defense 3000, Magic Energy 2500】

【Skills: Shockwave, Form Transformation, Magic Protection, Stone Claw Pounce】

【Magic creature hatched from astral stone tablets; as long as the tablets are not destroyed, the gargoyles can be continuously resurrected】

Gargoyles spread their wings and flew above the valley, almost completely obscuring the sky.

And unlike last time, this time after the stone tablets and gargoyles appeared, their BOSS also made an appearance.

A huge stone tablet rose from the ground, and a scarlet eye opened at the top of the tablet.

【Astral Stone Tablet General, LV40, Stone and Space dual attributes】

【Life 15000, Attack 5000, Defense 10000, Magic Energy 30000】

【Skills: Stone Tablet Summoning, Gargoyle Summoning, Earth Curse, Shattering Impact, Reflection Shield】

【Advanced magic creature transformed from an astral stone tablet, possessing intelligence; given enough time, it can raise an army】

Under the light pillar, all the space in the valley had been occupied by the gargoyles.

Chen Ping's shield guards were compressed into a very small range.

On the contrary, the alliance side was unstoppable, and the fluttering gargoyles couldn't suppress them for a while.

The contrast between the two sides was too obvious, so much so that the people on the alliance side became a bit complacent.

They were discussing the current situation in their group channel.

【So what if he's first on the Golden List? He's still being suppressed and beaten.】

【Our strategy is correct, brothers; if the alliance unites, Chen Ping can't do anything to us either.】
