Chapter 75: What the Hell, a Rigged Match?!

The city wall stretching a hundred li in circumference stood firm.

Sniper towers rose one after another.

With a firing range of twenty thousand meters per sniper tower,

they only needed to place one every twenty thousand meters along the wall — a few dozen in all — to blanket the entire circular wall within their coverage.

No matter which direction the enemy attacked from,

they would face the wrath of the sniper towers.

Not to mention, the Geng metal ore was mined by Yiluodi,

sparing the farmers the time of digging and hauling.

The sniper towers in the territory were built with remarkable speed.

By now, there were already over a hundred of them.

Su Yu transformed into light, awaiting the enemy's assault.

Just like his last battle against the elf Carlo,

he had once again deployed only structures.

He was quite curious whether this enemy could break through the firepower of his level-10 sniper towers.

"No troops or heroes again?"

"What's going on?"

"Could it be he doesn't even have troops or heroes..."

"A lord with no troops or heroes — are you kidding me?"

"I've heard there are curse-type talents that apply negative effects to the territory."

"Some even disable the recruitment function entirely."

"Maybe that's his situation."

"The legendary talent 'Destiny Builder' doesn't have that effect."

"Just watch. Some people have more than one talent. That kind of power comes at a cost."

"I actually think he might just consider this opponent unworthy of mobilizing his heroes and troops..."

"Are you out of your mind?"

One newly ascended lord's remark immediately drew scorn from the old-timers,

although the livestream actually had more new lords watching,

no one spoke up to help him.

Not worth sending heroes or troops?

The opponent they're facing is the overlord of Beasts Over the World!

The newcomers all felt a little embarrassed and watched the simulated battle in silence.

The soaring falcon tore through the fog of war.

Bamate spread his scouts in four-direction cross-search pattern through the fog of war and quickly pinpointed Su Yu's territory.

During this time, he received no feedback whatsoever, and encountered not a single enemy reconnaissance-type troop,

which immediately struck him as laughable.

Could it be that this fellow intends to beat me the same way he beat that elf?

I'm not that fool.

Having nothing but buildings is worthless in a lord battle.

"Charge with me!"

The lion-headed Bamate mounted a Thunder Leopard Alpha and led the campaign personally.

Unlike other territories that had developed over decades and possessed diverse troop types,

his territory had only two.

One was the rare-grade Thunder Leopards — moving like lightning, their speed creating sonic booms.

The other was the rare-grade Beastman Knights.

The Beastman Knights' original mounts, wolves, had all been replaced with Thunder Leopards!

Through coordinated training,

the combined combat power of these two rare troop types was far from a simple 1+1

— it had undergone a qualitative transformation!

Most importantly, Bamate, who had only developed these two troop types,

had pushed them both to the absolute limit.

His attribute bonuses were specialized solely in beastmen and beasts.

50,000 Thunder Leopards, combined with 50,000 Beastman Knights!

Virtually no other lord of the same cohort could face him in a direct confrontation.

His troops had once even made it onto the Supreme Ranking for a full hour!

This allowed him to stand head and shoulders above the other lords of his cohort,

and had also earned him some renown within the lion-headed race.

The chance to trample the very existence that ranked first in total monster tide elimination,

this thrilled him beyond measure!

He might be a newbie, but he was a newbie with fame and prestige,

likely even a saint son groomed by one of the Seven Great Races of the Myriad Realms.

A figure like that — crushing him by throwing his weight as a veteran around,

still thrilled him!

He glanced at the info panel on his lord terminal.

The number of viewers watching this simulated battle

had already exceeded ten million!

If he could put on a beautiful performance, perhaps it would even

spread a few echoes of a fine reputation throughout the Myriad Realms,

and his clan would surely reward him.

His white lion mane danced in the wind, rustling with a crisp sound.

The more Bamate thought, the more excited he got, and he let out an exhilarated roar.

Suddenly,

a heaven-and-earth-shaking thunderous boom cut off his excitement.

A trace of a smile flashed through his eyes.

He had already factored in the enemy's sniper tower with a 20,000-meter range.

"March Decree — activate!"

Bamate used a tool item.

Instantly,

the Thunder Leopards' charging speed abruptly doubled!

Their four hooves raced across the desert,

gravel sent flying, a wave of sand erupting with every stride,

yet the shifting sands did not slow the Thunder Leopards in the slightest.

"It's the March Decree. I didn't expect him to even use that."

"Is that really necessary? Using an item against a newly ascended lord..."

"There's nothing to lose anyway, it's just a simulated battle."

“But it still consumes domain energy.”

In TW simulated battles,

you can use domain items,

and it won't consume the real domain items in the Myriad Realms battlefield.

It's just that the number of uses is limited by the quantity you own in your domain.

Essentially, they're still projections.

For this reason,

simulated battles often produce even more spectacular combat than the Myriad Realms battlefield.

Because everyone can use long-treasured domain items without regard for cost,

all kinds of treasures can be deployed freely!

“Boom—!”

A single blast from the Sniper Tower cannon roared into the charging mass of Orc Cavalry.

Bar Mat's pupils contracted sharply.

Isn't this commotion a bit too huge?

【Your troop type Orc Knight has been killed.】

【Your troop type Thunder Leopard has been killed.】

……

A rare troop type up to Level 40, one-shotted by a single blast??

0 ·····Please give flowers····· ···

And a whole swath of them died!

Isn't the Sniper Tower a single-target attack? Since when does it deal area-of-effect damage?

Bar Mat froze for a moment, then continued the charge.

Boom-boom-boom—!

The Sniper Tower unleashed its firepower without restraint.

It was helpless; the Orc Knights coordinated with the Thunder Leopards, and their combined charge speed was simply too fast.

In just a few dozen seconds, they had crossed 20,000 meters,

reaching the base of the city walls in their charge!

“Roar—!”

Innate skill, 「Battle-Cry Howl」 activated!

Damage dealt by all troop types doubled!
