Tower Defense Game: My Eternal Kingdom

Chapter 275 Advancing the Front
A charred black pit with a diameter of [-] meters replaced the original lush forest and appeared on the ground.

Ahead, the dozen or so thunder and lightning wizards who cast spells collectively have been bombarded to the point that they can't even find any scum.

The thunderclouds that hung over the territory quickly began to dissipate before they formed.

Cheng Shen recovered his state with a slightly pale face.

He still has the ability to make a move, and even wipe out all the monsters with his own power.

But he didn't move again.

The attack from Storm Castle is most different from the daily monster siege in that they will not follow the established route.

As a result, the void path became a decoration.

And the Shimo Tower, which relies on the void path to exert its greatest advantage, is like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out, and its power has been reduced by more than one level.

Fortunately.

There are many deep towers.

Others' defense tower system can have up to ten towers.

Too much can't afford it.

And because he changed the system midway, but most of the defensive towers of the star system that he has obtained so far do not have a good auxiliary effect and cannot replace the original tower type, resulting in his defensive system is very bloated.

But bloat has bloat benefits too.

now.

In the face of monsters attacking the city, nearly twenty defensive towers in his territory were fully fired!Frost arrows, lightning, and dark lights covered the front of the battlefield, like a gorgeous fireworks show!

Whoa!

The waves flowed.

With the help of Cheng Shen, the Water Demon Tower unleashed the strongest wave of characteristic attacks. The water waves that emerged out of thin air, like a raging river, rushed over and instantly flooded the open space in front of the territory.

at the same time.

There was a crackling sound like the earth collapsing!
Boom!

A piece of ground directly in front of the territory sank several meters in an instant, and then the broken ground was submerged by the raging water.

A simple moat is directly formed!
Cheng Shen was surrounded by air currents, his short hair was trembling, and his huge mental energy was still venting crazily. Taking advantage of the opportunity created by the Sky Tower, he continuously released the enhanced version of the one-ring magic ground movement technique one after another.

Continue to expand the size of the seam.

Until the length of this moat is extended by nearly [-] meters!
Whoa!

The water flowing out of nowhere continued to pour into it, scouring the soil and humus structures in the ground cracks, making the clear river water quickly become turbid.

However, the river bank that was only three meters wide couldn't stop the swift Thunder Beast, but it was more than enough for those storm warriors in heavy armor.

They had to stop their charge.

next moment.

Intensive attacks from defense towers covered the past.

"I'm going to fix them..."

Aljaka was just around the corner.

"Not urgent."

Cheng Shen stopped her with a loud voice.

This unexpected siege battle just happened to be an opportunity to help him see clearly the deficiencies of his territory's defense system in a formal war.

The output ability of Shimo Tower in defensive mode is certainly abnormal.

It can be worthwhile for him to join forces with Arjieka.

But once he lost the terrain advantage, he immediately became like a fool.

It's too exhausting to face enemies with scattered formations.

Cheng Shen now needs to guide the situation on the battlefield back to the home ground of the Beginning Demon Tower.

otherwise.

The cultivation of this main tower is meaningless.

Using the moat to limit the terrain is a good idea he just thought of. Even if the territory continues to expand outwards and develop its territory in the future, this moat can also be incorporated into the territory's water supply and cleaning system.

It would not be said to put a tight ring on the development of the territory.

Of course, the scale of the moat that Cheng Shen is currently building can only be said to be a prototype, and it will definitely need to continue to expand.

But at least there is an idea.

"attack!"

He ordered at the same time.

Whoosh whoosh!
Bang bang bang!
……

Soldiers and farmers equipped with bows, arrows and firecrackers immediately opened fire.

It's just that most people don't have professional training.

Accuracy is limited.

A series of sharp arrows were shot out together with the high-temperature rotating lead pellets, but most of them landed in the empty space. The thunder beasts rushing in front were already fast, and occasionally it was a blind cat hitting a dead mouse that could hit the target.

Efficiency is appalling.
-
403!
-
451!
-
424!

……

"The damage is good."

The focus of Cheng Shen's observation was on the other side.

A twentieth-level iron-blooded soldier, equipped with a sophisticated level of magic bows and arrows, has almost the same damage as an ordinary unit with a third-generation firecracker.

This is enough to see the research prospects of firearms.

In the future, he might not need to recruit and train too many iron-blooded soldiers at all, but only need to train a team of units that can use firearms proficiently.

It is enough to defend the city.

of course.

Just defend the city.

When fighting outside, you still have to recruit units with excellent attributes.

"Military service for all?"

Cheng Shen thought of a way that not only does not need to devote special resources to training, but also allows all the people in the territory to become soldiers in case of attack.But this policy will definitely cause a gap in the labor force, and the implementation of this policy is not worth the candle.

The focus of the territory should still be on development.

In a blink of an eye.

The fastest group of Thunder Beasts had crossed the moat and rushed to the front of the territory's wall.

And what greeted them was also the most violent wave of blows.

The soldiers changed their bows and arrows, pulled out their best swords and shields and directly pressed them out.

Their single-body strength is already better than that of a Thunder Beast, and after forming a battle formation in threes and threes, the battle is even more overwhelming. With the help of the farmers who have gradually become proficient in shooting techniques, they quickly stopped these Thunder Beasts Down.

at this time.

The lumbering stormtroopers were still trying to get around the moat.

"scold!"

A loud eagle cry came from high in the sky.

The only remaining storm fighters on the ground immediately seemed to have received some kind of order, no longer advancing, and began to retreat.

But Cheng Shen naturally wouldn't let them come and go as they wanted.

"rush!"

Da Meng, who was wearing black heavy armor, issued an order, and groups of iron-blooded soldiers rushed out like hungry wolves.

light body!

Holy Shield!

Like a conscientious nanny, Cheng Shen blessed them to a higher level. At the same time, he cast a spell again, lifting a bridge made of rocks from the moat, preventing the moat from becoming an obstacle to their progress.

Seeing this scene.

The giant eagles in the sky flew away without looking back.

"It seems that this attack is just a trial."

Cheng Shen looked away.

It's a pity that I didn't take the opportunity to kill those long-range units.

He didn't let Arjieka do it because he wanted to seduce them to end.

But obviously the opponent's command unit has a high level of intelligence.

The situation is wrong.

Just slipped away.

However, it can also be seen that this force is not the main force of the opponent.

Cheng Shen's information on Storm Castle is still infinitely close to zero, and he doesn't know how much background the other party has, but its position can be ranked behind the Temple of Sacrifice, at least it shows that there is an existence that is not weaker than the Maw of Evil Eater.

He must be fully prepared for this war.

"Leave a few alive!"

Cheng Shen shouted towards the battlefield ahead.

The iron-blooded army led by Da Meng has already surrounded more than a dozen storm warriors. They are all excellent units, and the level of the iron-blooded soldiers even has a slight advantage. These storm warriors have almost no way out.

soon.

The battle is over.

The soldiers saved a few lives according to Cheng Shen's instructions, but these storm fighters seemed to be brave enough to die, even if they were restrained, they would struggle desperately. Cheng Shen directly stepped forward and broke the armor of one of the soldiers.

"puppet?"

Looking at the inner structure of the Stormtrooper, Cheng frowned deeply.

After this monster removed its armor, it was completely a mechanical skeleton inside. The lightning core embedded in the metal skeleton and the rune veins was just about to start self-destructing, but Cheng Shen blocked the energy by hand.

He checked carefully for a while.

then.

The release of spiritual energy shrouded the head of the storm warrior tightly wrapped in the silver helmet.

After destroying part of the rune structure, he extracted a dimly colored soul body.

"Send these puppets to Shenjifang for research... and send one to the group of goblins."

Cheng Shen ordered.

He had some doubts about the relationship between Storm Castle and several other power points.

temple,

mine,

And the last exile deserted village.

There is some kind of subtle connection with that ancient city.

But from the structure of this storm fighter, Cheng Shen didn't feel the breath of the abyss or the pollution of darkness.

There is also no method similar to the production of the flesh and blood puppet technology.

Then.

Where are they related?
After Cheng Shen extracted the souls of several storm fighters, he interrogated them.

But the result disappointed him.

The soul bodies that control the Storm Warriors seem to have been specially treated. Except for the fighting instinct and an order to obey a certain will unconditionally, the other memories are muddled.

Can't find anything at all.

After using the soul stripping, Cheng Shen got an expected answer.

The emotional perception in their souls has been extracted.

These puppets are machines born for fighting, and this means of controlling the soul also allows Cheng Shen to see the shadow of the devil's manipulation.

"Since the devil is secretly influencing you, you cannot ignore all risks..."

Cheng Shen thought in his heart.

abyss pollution,

dark distortion,

Even the weird factor.

All of them may make a key reversal in the situation where he is sure to win.

Can't be careless.

After thinking for a while, he issued one order after another.

The territory continued to maintain a state of first-level alert, and all the free manpower was incorporated into the construction team.

Part of the manpower is used to improve the moat.

And Cheng Shen specially selected a team of craftsmen with high skill levels.

Start building guard towers along the road towards Stormcastle.

He did not directly carry out a surprise attack by relying on his own and Arjieka's force.

The opponent has the advantage provided by flying units.

Once caught he leaves.

Another wave of large-scale air strikes may be difficult to withstand with defense towers alone.

And it was the question that made Cheng Shen afraid of leaving the territory easily.

lies in.

He was afraid that those giant eagles would drop some substances that were polluted by the abyss and darkness!
He can solve such troubles in time by staying in the territory.

Once he leaves, if the opponent chooses to switch bases with him, even if he wins, the price he will bear is not acceptable to him!

In this case, Cheng Shen can only choose the most steady and steady tactics.

Push it all the way.

In order to avoid the risk of being stolen.

The field of vision effect provided by the first-level sentry tower can cover a circular area with a diameter of [-] meters.

The upper limit of sentry tower level is affected by the territory.

Up to three levels.

Cheng Shen directly invested resources to raise the level of the sentry tower to the highest level, and the third-level sentry tower can monitor the surrounding range of 300 meters.

He simply lit up all the maps around the territory, covering every blind spot in his vision.

Just having a sentry tower is not enough.

The sentry tower can only provide vision effect and weak combat bonus, and it is easy to be destroyed.

Cheng Shen selected another building from the construction list in the territory.

Frontline stronghold.

Frontline strongholds can be regarded as a partial extension of the territory.

In the front-line stronghold, the authority and functions that the territory should have can be realized. Campfires, buildings, and defensive towers can be built, which can effectively expand the front line.

Moreover, these frontline strongholds can develop into refugee settlements in the future.

Attract or house vagrants like goblins.

Not a waste of resources.

At this moment.

The drawing of the phantom wall that Cheng Shen had taken a fancy to before could also come in handy.

The size of the frontline stronghold does not need to be very large for the time being.

Unlike the main territory, even if the phantom wall is built, it is still a fairly obvious large-scale target.

The phantom wall can effectively interfere with the detection of those giant eagles.

Even if they find front-line strongholds in the air and try to destroy them by throwing projectiles before, there is a certain probability of missing.

As long as one attack can be avoided.

Then Cheng Shen could keep his investment in a frontline stronghold.

It is equivalent to blood earning!
order issued.

The entire construction project was launched in full swing.

Nearly a thousand residents were all mobilized, shuttling back and forth in the territory, or carrying logs and stones, like busy ants. At the same time, the reserves in his warehouse began to shrink rapidly!
"My lord! If this continues, the resource reserves of our entire territory will not be able to withstand the consumption of three days!"

Eugene was as anxious as a fat praying mantis lying in a pan of hot oil.

"Three days..."

Cheng Shen nodded.

This result has somewhat exceeded his expectations.

The previous construction of the wall consumed a considerable amount of basic resources. His current territory wall surrounds an area with a diameter of nearly 500 meters, and the consumption of leveling up is quite exaggerated.

And he even went up to five levels in a row.

Also.

The consumption of building materials for building sentry towers and front-line strongholds is also quite terrifying.

For basic resources such as wood and stone, the mining of his territory alone is not enough. He must buy them from other survivors. Fortunately, he has accumulated many other resources before, which can be traded at market ratios.

Otherwise, if the purchases are all based on points, the point system he established may face the risk of collapse after this war...

But outposts and forward strongholds are useful structures.

although.

At present, neither of these two buildings can bring him any returns.

But as long as it can help him avoid losses, it is better than being caught off guard by Storm Castle's attack and being damaged in vain in the war.

No loss.

It is equal to earning.

This truth is obviously difficult to understand with Eugene's character.

Cheng Shen didn't bother to correct him, the ability value is here, as long as he can execute every instruction he gave well, that's enough.

"Allocate another resource to the Shenjifang, so that they can speed up the production of third-generation firearms.

I want to see more than one hundred firearms of the third generation before tomorrow morning. "

Cheng Shen said.

As for the goblins, Weiman came to him to tell him that the test he had arranged had the results.

This means that they have selected a batch of units with manufacturing capabilities.

can also be arranged.

Cheng Shen wanted to quickly train a group of units that could handle firearms proficiently.

Judging from the results of the battle just now, if there is a well-trained musketeer team, the effect it will play on the frontal battlefield is even greater than the iron-blooded army he has invested in various resources to cultivate.

Cooperate with frontline strongholds.

It is absolutely possible to push the battle line from the front of his territory to the gate of Storm Castle!
