Tower Defense Lord, random Wishing Tower at the start of the game.

Only three members of Raya's team returned.

The rest all perished in the wild.

Even Raya himself suffered serious injuries.

"We've come across a city inhabited by orcs."

"The city wall is very long and very high."

"There are many orcs."

"After being discovered, we sent wolf riders to pursue us."

"The soldiers who left with me were all caught up and killed by the wolf riders, leaving only the three of us alive."

As Rayark brought back the message, a new map also opened on the system.

Lin Chuan could see that Leia and the others had left the Dark Forest and entered the Wasteland of the Giant City.

Map descriptions on the system.

This is the remnant of a great city civilization, and within each of these great cities reside a large number of forbidden creatures.

The leaders within the giant city are at least Gold-rank extraordinary beings.

"We've entered a new map."

Lin Chuan pondered, realizing that the danger was even greater than before.

They were no longer facing ordinary tribes, but city-state civilizations.

at the same time.

The lord system popped up a message.

"Ding-dong."

"You are the first lord to discover city-state civilization."

"Received a reward achievement chest*1".

"You have been discovered by the orc city-state civilization. Please prepare for the orcs' imminent attack on your territory as night falls."

"Breaking through the orcs' outposts, barracks, and other territories can reduce the number of orcs attacking the territory at night."

The system notification made Lin Chuan a little nervous.

My current strength has not improved significantly.

Hearing that it was only the strength of the orc outposts and barracks, he relaxed a little more.

"Ryeah".

"You were probably discovered by an outpost of the orc city-state."

"Did you find the locations of these outposts on your return?"

"No, Your Excellency."

Reconnaissance in the forbidden dark land is no easy task.

Lin Chuan knew that he needed to make arrangements as soon as possible and conduct another reconnaissance of the new map.

Find out the true distribution of military power in the orc city-states.

"Rhea is not a professional cavalryman after all."

"To complete the reconnaissance, we still need a professional cavalry corps."

Lin Chuan brought in Daenerys.

He already had 100 scimitar cavalrymen under his command.

There are no warhorses yet.

After spending a lot of money to buy ordinary military horses from the market.

Lin Chuan now has its first organized cavalry unit.

"My lord."

"What are your orders?"

Daenerys knew a mission was coming.

Lin Chuan opened the map and pointed to the new map.

"This is our current territory."

"There are mountains and forests on the left, right, and behind."

"The exit is only here."

"After leaving here, you will enter a new map of the Great City Ruins."

"What blocks our way is the ruins of a giant city, an orc city."

"We've been discovered by the orcs."

"Large numbers of orcs will attack at night."

"We must destroy the orc garrison to alleviate the nighttime attacks."

"Your task now is to take the cavalry and Rhea out to scout."

"I need to get as much information as possible about the orc garrison locations."

Daenerys bowed slightly.

"As you wish, Your Excellency."

Lin Chuan gave them the high-grade healing spring water.

Raya joined them on their new journey.

Lin Chuan then arrived at the wishing tower.

.....

Make a wish.

"Items capable of destroying orc city-states."

The wishing tower did not respond.

The Wishing Tower at level 2 is still too low.

"Then... a watchtower that can hold off the orcs' nighttime attacks."

The wishing tower was enveloped in white light.

A moment later.

The lord system popped up a message.

"Ding-dong."

"Obtained the Absolute Defense Blueprint for the Aura Arrow Tower *1".

[Absolute Defense Aura Arrow Tower]: A rare arrow tower that has both passive and active effects after construction. The passive effect grants the city wall a gold rune boost, greatly increasing its durability, defense, and resistance. The active effect activates the gold defense rune, putting the territory into absolute defense and granting an absolute defense shield. Any damage received will only reduce durability by one point, with a maximum durability of 10 points and a duration of 24 hours (cooldown is 240 hours).

"Purely defensive arrow towers."

The passive effect is very strong, and the active effect is equivalent to invincibility.

With this arrow tower, it's indeed easy to stop the orcs' attack.

"Ding-dong."

"The Absolute Defense Aura Arrow Tower has been completed. It is currently a unique special type of arrow tower, which cannot be upgraded and can only be built once."

One is enough.

Lin Chuan looked at the wishing tower again.

"A level 3 Wishing Tower requires 1000 Magic Cores to upgrade."

Some of the medium-grade spring water was put up for sale in the market.

"Exchange intermediate healing spring water for magic cores."

"One unit of spring water can be exchanged for 10 magic cores."

"We need it quickly, but not in large quantities."

......

The news caused a sensation as soon as it was sent out.

Previously, Lin Chuan's primary healing spring water had already been sold out.

Many lords failed to purchase the goods and demanded that Lin Chuan increase the quantity.

The price of a bottle of medium-grade spring water on the market is currently outrageous.

That's pretty crazy.

After all, exploring secret realms is quite difficult.

A spring means more safety.

You don't want to die in the secret realm without treatment after being injured, losing all your resources.

If even the basic spring water is selling so well, then the intermediate spring water must be even more popular.

Lin Chuan just posted it.

No one questioned the price.

They sold out instantly.

You'll get 1000 magic cores in no time.

Many lords even chased after them to inquire if they had any more, offering to pay higher prices to buy them.

Exploring secret realms has made many lords extremely wealthy.

Many lords plan to accumulate resources and increase their strength by using the secret realms.

Healing items are a necessity.

"Sell."

Lin Chuan sold some more intermediate and even high-end products.

10000 magic cores have been collected.

"The wishing tower can be upgraded twice."

"Level up to LV3 first."

Choose to upgrade the Wishing Tower.

"Ding-dong."

"The Wishing Tower has been upgraded to LV3, free wish attempts have been refreshed, and the level of wish items has been upgraded."

What do you want for your new wish?

"An absolute defense tower is the strongest shield."

"Then I'll also need a sharp spear."

.....

Make a wish.

"I need units that can defeat the orc city on the Great City Ruins."

Your wish failed.

Clearly, the current Wishing Tower is not up to standard.

"Then make a wish for a unit that can proactively attack orcs, regardless of whether it's a hero, arrow tower, or troop type."

The wishing tower shimmered with white light.

A moment later, a notification message appeared on the lord system.

"Ding-dong."

"Obtained the Flame Mage Manual, a job change item."

It was a bit unexpected.

Lin Chuan thought he would be given a hero directly.

At the very least, it's a certain type of soldier.

No one expected it to be a job change manual.

"The Flame Mage's Handbook"

A class-changing item for hero units.

Of the heroes currently under my command, only Viktor is suitable for this job change manual.

[Flame Mage Job Change Manual]: Change your job to become a powerful Flame Mage, possessing the Flame Storm skill, which can deal magic damage over a wide area.

Lin Chuan brought in Victor.

After the magic laboratory was built, Victor trained magic apprentices there.

Currently, there are only three qualified apprentices.

It is still in the training phase.

After receiving the order, I came over and saw the Tearful Mage Job Change Manual.

Victor was somewhat surprised.

"Your Mightiness."

"This is a forbidden magic-based mage class."

"How do you have such a rare job change manual?"

"It's a long story, but to put it simply, this class has very high attack power?"

"Extremely powerful; the Flame Storm once destroyed a city."

"That's enough, change jobs."

"Yes, sir!"
