NOVEL NEXT Chapter 165: Surging War Intent
"Why are we running?" Han Xing asked in confusion.
Cheng Jianyong looked bewildered, "Uh... but..."
He wanted to say that staying would be waiting for death.
However, he met Han Xing's gaze.
It was a gaze filled with strong confidence!
Han Xing waved his hand and said directly, "Don't worry."
"Although these Blood Tide Monsters are getting stronger, aren't we also getting stronger?"
"I haven't been idle these past two days either!"
The crowd heard the calm and surging war intent in Han Xing's tone!
Yes, from the start, it seemed Han Xing never mentioned running away.
And listening to this tone, Han Xing seemed to be looking forward to a confrontation with these monsters?
But is that possible?
Such a scale of monster tide is not something a single force can withstand, not even Zhou Huang could do it.
Unless all five of the strongest teams from zones 1 to 5 were united, there would be a slight chance of resistance!
Han Xing didn't speak but looked at the series of twenty-meter-tall black towers on his territory.
The surge in the number of Defense Towers gave him confidence to face more monsters!
This confidence even affected Cheng Jianyong and the others.
Everyone looked at Han Xing, and the fear in their eyes seemed to gradually fade away.
Even if it seemed like a scene seeking death.
At this moment, however, these five people were unswervingly committed!
At this time.
An endless horde of Blood Tide Monsters was already pouring in from all directions.
The first wave of the army was still over ten thousand meters away from Xingyu City.
This distance was already within the attack range of the Lightning Towers.
But Han Xing did not rush to attack.
He manipulated the territorial building page.
There were over three thousand Siege Crossbow Arrow Launchers and two thousand Flamethrower Catapults on it!
Plus more than one hundred and eighty Ice Arrow Towers and eighty Lightning Towers!
Compared to the previous two days, Han Xing's territorial defense capability had undergone a qualitative change!
The number of attack buildings increased by more than threefold!
This is not as simple as 1+1.
It means that.
As long as Han Xing could reasonably control the attack rhythm of these territorial buildings, he could achieve continuous and comprehensive fire coverage.
No matter how many monsters, they could withstand it!
And their only concern was the Lord-level Monsters among them!
Meanwhile.
The monstrous army was already approaching Han Xing's territory, less than five thousand meters away.
At this time, Xingyu City was like a submarine plunging into the deep sea, teetering on the edge of danger!
Surrounded by surging seawater from all sides, it seemed about to be engulfed.
The mere sight of this scene imparted a profound sense of despair and suffocation.
Everyone subconsciously held their breath.
The Blood Tide army was rapidly closing in, the distance remaining was less than three thousand meters!
At this moment, they could even see those horrifying, twisted faces.
Xingyu City was about to be swallowed by the massive Blood Tide!
And just then.
A sudden burst of dazzling firelight and electric light erupted from this tiny vessel!
Boom——
Over eight hundred flame shells, the size of washbasins, roared out amidst thick smoke!
Thousands of giant crossbow arrows shot out.
Plus more than twenty blue beams of light with a diameter of over twenty meters and a length of over twenty thousand meters pierced the sky.
The next moment, all these attacks landed amidst the dense cluster of monsters.
Rumble!
Hundreds of shells exploded like brilliant fireworks blossoming on the seabed!
Dazzlingly bright.
The explosions were deafening!
At this moment, it seemed like the sky was shattered.
Countless monsters died horribly under the terrifying bombardment, turning to ashes.
With such a dense cluster of monsters.
The first wave of bombardment directly took the lives of over thirty to forty thousand Blood Tide Monsters.
Han Xing's battle merits soared almost instantly by fifty to sixty thousand!
"So strong..."
"Such terrifying firepower..."
Everyone murmured in a daze.
Even though they had witnessed this many times.
Every time the Catapults and Lightning Towers unleashed their power, showing their destructive might, it still brought a strong sense of security!
The root of all fear stemmed from insufficient firepower.
As long as the sound of thunder and flames exploded continued to roar, they believed Xingyu City would never fall!
However, just as the surrounding monsters were cleared away, the air was filled with more monsters filling the gap, charging towards Han Xing's territory with fearless fervor.
Han Xing wasn't going to be polite to them either.
Facing the monsters was the same firepower level of the second wave attack!
The blinding blue beams of light emanating from the Lightning Towers froze every monster in its path, as the terrifying electric energy rampaged through their bodies!
After a series of crackling explosions.
The surrounding three-thousand-meter area was once again cleared.
Those monsters continued to charge fearlessly.
And Han Xing obliged, once again prompting the Catapults and Lightning Towers to bombard them.
Repeatedly!
After four waves of attack.
All the attack buildings on Han Xing's territory had almost completed one round of attacks.
The blood-colored monsters, seeing the discharge of firepower finally stop, each showed a twisted grin, charging madly forth!
On the field, Cheng Jianyong and others watched Han Xing nervously.
Even the relatives inside the Lord's Mansion couldn't help but feel their hearts tighten!
However, the firepower only paused for less than a second!
All the buildings that launched the first round of attacks, including the Lightning Tower, had already recharged.
The corner of Han Xing's mouth revealed a trace of delight.
"Good, just as I calculated."
"The Lightning Tower has completed four rounds of attacks, right at the end of a 20-second recharge period!"
"This way, we can achieve uninterrupted, all-around strikes!"
The next moment, the howling shells and the destructive blue beams surged forth.
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion erupted.
The monster horde that had barely reached within a thousand meters of Sky Island was again cleared one by one.
Then, the cycle began anew!
With each wave of charge, at least forty to fifty thousand monsters perished.
Han Xing clenched his fist, the corner of his mouth showing a slight smile.
"Come on, let me feel the rush of rapidly increasing battle merit!"
"Let's see if I give out first, or these monsters do!"
Inside the Lord's Mansion.
Those hundreds of relatives had, over these few days, adapted to the rhythm of this world.
Especially when encountering Blood Tide Monsters, they knew what they should do.
That is to hide in the Lord's Mansion at the first moment, not to create more chaos for Han Xing and others.
Because, in a disaster of such magnitude, anything they did would be futile.
If even those few couldn't hold the line, they could only await their end.
All hope could only be placed on them... Wait, no, on that man carrying the Crystal Longbow.
And this man lived up to expectations, effortlessly dealing with the monsters each time.
But today's a bit different.
Even though they knew Han Xing was strong, unimaginably strong.
The number of monsters far exceeded everyone's expectations!
Tens of millions!
What kind of concept is that?
If each monster spat, it could flood their territory.
Yet in such a terrifying tide of monsters, that man once again showcased astounding prowess and terrifying development speed.
In just two days, he erected a number of attack structures several times what they had before.
And, he steadfastly withstood the onslaught of these tens of millions of monsters, remaining unshakeable!
Everyone was nearly dumbfounded.
At this moment, Lanlan and a group of young girls watched the silhouette on the distant open ground with nearly worshipful eyes.
This was their Lord!
Lanlan couldn't help but feel fortunate.
Fortunately, she had taken the initiative to ask Han Xing to sign a Lord Contract with them at the time.
Otherwise, if they had encountered such a monster tide, they might have been torn to shreds in the first second.
She was grateful in her heart to Han Xing for agreeing to their request back then.
"The Lord is sure to win!"
"Go, Lord!"
This group of young girls silently prayed in their hearts, cheering Han Xing on.
At this moment.
The thunderous rumbles in the sky came wave after wave!
Han Xing's side had already launched twelve rounds of attacks, with about more than four hundred thousand Blood Tide Monsters perishing!
Seeing that prolonged attacks yielded no results.
At this moment, within the Blood Tide army!
Suddenly, several lines separated.
Like a blood-red curtain being torn down the middle.
In those rifts, terrifying creatures more than a hundred meters in size and of various forms appeared.
From a distance, everyone could see that these monsters were far from ordinary!
But among them, the sharp-eyed Shen Yun spotted a familiar figure.
That monster covered with human faces.
According to everyone's previous speculation, the monster's power might be at the Three-star Lord Level!
Shen Yun immediately warned, "Brother Xing, be careful, those Lord-level ones might make a move now!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions instantly became solemn.
Lord-level creatures, any one of them could become a nightmare for the Survivors.
And now, just a glance revealed at least a dozen of them!
If so many Lord Monsters simultaneously launched an attack on their territory.
If they couldn't hold them off, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Brother Xing, should we make a move?"
Cheng Jianyong swung his Great Sword with a serious expression.
Shen Yun and the others also snapped into combat readiness.
They feared that if those Lord Monsters came en masse, the Defense Towers might not be able to hold!
To achieve seamless, all-around bombardment, Han Xing divided the attack structures in the territory into four cycles.
And naturally, the killing power of the Defense Towers had greatly reduced.
Though it could annihilate those Ordinary and Elite Monsters in an instant, and even seriously wound Leader Monsters.
But if faced with Lords.
One round of attack might not deal effective damage to them.
By then, if these Lord Creatures braved the firepower of the Lightning Tower and the Catapults and charged into the territory.
They would find themselves in a dilemma.
Lord-level creatures are not roadside beasts; each one possesses terrifying power.
If they couldn't hold them off, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Everyone couldn't help but grow tense, even ready to face the brunt of the Lord-level Monster charge.
At this moment, Han Xing waved his hand and said, "No need, let's just observe for now."
Upon hearing this, everyone stayed where they were.
Without Han Xing's order, they wouldn't make reckless moves.
The atmosphere descended into an eerie standoff.
The four of them fixed their eyes on the sky, closely watching every move of those Lord Monsters.
