Final Lord

Chapter 309 Elite Squad
"It's definitely an obelisk." Wang Bufu's voice was deep and resolute, his slender fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the hilt of his sword. "This perfect geometric structure, this special material that can absorb light, and these flowing runes of order."

Wang Bufu's gaze followed the silver patterns and suddenly spotted a familiar pattern at the base of the tower—a symbol composed of three nested triangles, indicating that this obelisk had two identical companions.

The three obelisks form a set.

"My lord," asked Joey, the leader of the sled knights, puzzled. "What is an obelisk?"

"The obelisks seal away forbidden knowledge of the divinely protected world. Each obelisk's top is engraved with a powerful high-level spell and a troop advancement path."

Unit advancement path!

"That's amazing!" Joey exclaimed, her eyes wide with surprise.

“Not only that,” Wang interrupted, his eyes gleaming with an unusual light, “the obelisk also provides treasure maps.”

Collect enough treasure maps to find the Holy Grail. Bring the Holy Grail back to your territory, and you can create artificial miracles!

Lute suddenly emerged from the shadows, his raven-feather cloak still damp with night dew. The raven-people leader couldn't hide his excitement; his dark golden vertical pupils gleamed in the moonlight. "Master, should we organize an expedition immediately?"

Wang Bufu did not answer immediately. He led his troops slowly around to the other side of the tower, and suddenly stopped—there the silver patterns formed a clear hourglass shape.

"23 large gravels, 11 small gravels—23 days and 11 hours left."

This discovery made Wang Bufu frown: "There's a time limit; it seems we need to gather clues about the other obelisks within the deadline."

He turned to face the generals, his ice-blue cloak shimmering like a burning cold flame in the eerie light of the Flowing Fire River: "Pass down the order, the entire army returns to New Gru territory."

Keynes exhaled a puff of mist from his nostrils and asked curiously, "My lord, aren't we going to explore this thing? It looks like a treasure."

Wang Bufu shook his head: "Our team is not suited to exploring the obelisk; we'll be wiped out. I'll report this and have the church send someone to handle it."

Keynes sighed regretfully, but didn't say anything more.

He had a very clear understanding of his role—a mercenary, someone who takes money and does things without asking any questions.

……

Wang Bufu's report was, of course, a carefully crafted lie. As the first rays of dawn pierced the leaden clouds above the Demon Ash Plains, he had already led his elite troops to the banks of the Flowing Fire River.

Wei Yi, Blind Cat, Blind Chicken, Mountain Cannon, Little Fu Fu, Golden Flash, Mair, Caveman Giant Hunter, Cat Sand Beast, Fungus Beast, Undead Army... and Harpies hovered low in the sky, their wings cutting through the morning mist with a faint sound;
The Evil Eyes floated at the rear of the column, their enormous, bloodshot eyes constantly darting around, monitoring every corner where danger might be lurking.

Most striking of all were the newest members of the group—the thirty Medusa warriors led by Aisana. These hunters from the underworld moved with a rustling sound as they went.

even

As the morning mist completely dissipated, this elite force had silently surrounded the dark obelisk. Wang Bufu's ice-blue cloak fluttered slightly in the morning breeze. He looked up at the flowing silver patterns on the surface of the tower, a confident smile playing on his lips.

"Let's go! Open the tower!"

Wang Bufu's fingertips traced across his chest, as if plucking an invisible string. With his movement, a flame seed, pulsating with a golden core, emerged from the void, hovering three inches above his palm. The order runes flowing within the core of the flame seed suddenly trembled violently, creating a wondrous resonance with the silver patterns on the obelisk's base.

"Buzz——"

Suddenly, the entire obsidian obelisk emitted a deep hum, and the silver patterns on its surface lit up as if injected with mercury. The previously slowly flowing runes accelerated, outlining complex magical arrays on the obelisk's surface. When the triangular symbol at the very top was illuminated, a pure pillar of orderly light shot into the sky from the obelisk's spire, tearing a rift in the leaden-gray clouds.

"Wow! What a commotion!" The blind cat curiously raised his head. Even without eyes, he could clearly sense the flow of magical elements around him. In his special vision, the whole world was as colorful and vibrant as a rainbow.

In an instant, a fan-shaped area with a radius of hundreds of kilometers centered on the obelisk was enveloped by an invisible force field of order. A translucent golden barrier appeared at the edge of the force field, completely isolating this chaotic land from the outside world. The once restless Demon Ash Plains suddenly fell into an eerie stillness, even the sulfur winds seemed to freeze in the air—this was the brief silence before the clash between order and chaos.

"All personnel on high alert!" Wang Bufu's ice-blue cloak fluttered wildly in the sudden turbulence of the air. "The obelisk is reshaping the rules of this area!"

The words had barely left his lips when the sealed-off chaotic zone suddenly trembled violently. Countless fissures cracked open in the scorched earth, and crimson demonic fire erupted from the ground like spewing magma. The flames twisted and coalesced into various grotesque shapes: a three-headed demonic hound was born from the fire, a decaying-winged vulture was reborn from the ashes, and even a half-molten giant lizard used its claws to tear apart the burning rock.
“Three hours.” Wang Bufu’s sword sliced ​​through the morning mist, drawing an icy line in front of him. “These fractured, chaotic wills will retaliate fiercely. Hold the obelisk, and this scorched earth will become our new territory!”

His voice remained clearly audible amidst the cacophony of monster roars. The front-line [Mushroom Shield Beasts] had already erected mushroom-shaped tower shields, their surfaces emitting hissing white smoke as they collided with the oncoming demonic fire.

High in the sky, harpies formed a swirling warning net, their feathers gleaming with a metallic sheen under the beams of light.

boom!
As the first wave of lava giant lizards crashed into the defensive line, the triangular symbol atop the obelisk suddenly projected a three-dimensional magical sand table. The sand table clearly displayed the battlefield situation: golden dots represented the defending forces, crimson vortexes marked the monster hordes, and the hourglass at the base of the tower was counting down—as long as they held out until the last grain of sand fell, the purified land would forever bear the mark of the defiant flame of the king.

At that time, this obelisk, which seals away forbidden knowledge, will open the gate to supreme power for him.

At the forefront of the clash between order and chaos, the Mushroom Shield Beast stands tall like a moving Great Wall of Steel.

These special units, originating from the natural wonder of the "Miracle Mushroom King," are a subversion of the rules of the battlefield in their very existence. The 4m x 4m giant mushroom tower shields they carry take root in the ground and grow a network of mycelium as soon as they land, and the shield surface instantly expands and hardens into a defensive fortification comparable to a city wall.

The fireballs spewed by the lava giant lizard vanished silently upon contact with the seven-colored mushroom shield, as if falling into an abyss, leaving not even a trace of burn.

Behind the steel defenses constructed by the Mushroom Shield Beasts, the Caveman Giant Hunters were reaping the battlefield with astonishing efficiency.

At this stage, the Caveman's damage output is in no way inferior to any other archer of the same tier!
