All-out Tower Defense: My Card-Drawing Talent is a Bit Strange

"Also, tomorrow I will build several spirit fields near the Elf Hills. The mages among you who know how to cultivate can officially participate in them tomorrow. As long as you can cultivate these spirit fields well, their significance far exceeds that of officially participating in the war."

"As for officially participating in the war, your main task at this stage is to recover from your injuries and at the same time familiarize yourself with the cultivation system of this world. If possible, those of you who are lightly injured or uninjured can use the arrow towers to participate in the war as early as the day after tomorrow."

After Yang Fei finished speaking and completely dispelled Vera's worries, he led the two succubus girls into his cabin. He was too tired to continue chatting, so he could only explain his plans to them in the most straightforward way possible so that they could put their minds at ease and live well on the Sky Island.

At 5 a.m., Yang Fei emerged from the embrace of the two succubus girls. He sat there for a while, somewhat reluctant, before gradually waking up from his slumber. Leaving Mona to continue resting, Yang Fei summoned two new tentacle monsters and then took Lola to the city wall.

Perhaps it was the sight of those fallen tree spirits that put some pressure on the refugees of Qianwu Star. Qian Duoduo's artillery force had grown to nearly five hundred men, most of whom were young people who had joined his group of over a thousand.

The slightly older ones mostly became their own lumberjacks and miners, while the rest joined the lesser demons' land reclamation teams, using various rudimentary tools they scavenged to begin cultivating the sky island's farmland.

Yang Fei was quite satisfied with these guys. They could assign tasks themselves, which saved him a lot of trouble. So Yang Fei didn't intend to be stingy and gave them the 1003 copper coins and 101 pieces of flax that the refugees from Qianwu Star had collected the night before.

Yang Fei sent the lesser demon with 100 catties of white rice and more than 10 catties of salted vegetables, which Yang Fei had bought for 500 copper coins, to the refugee camp. This was their wages and daily necessities for the day.

Because many refugees have already joined Yang Fei's Sky Island and become official citizens, those citizens with jobs can have an extra meal at noon, just like their Abyss Clan members. A hundred catties of white rice is enough for the rest of the population to have several full meals.

After looking at the artillery position that already had more than 500 men, Yang Fei pondered for a while and finally decided to prioritize safety in the next defensive phase. He then spent another 6600 silver coins to purchase 100 white-quality flat-fire turrets.

In this way, the extra hundred turrets not only gave the artillery positions more time to bombard continuously and relieve the pressure on the succubus girls, but also gave the young people in these artillery positions a chance to train.

Whether these guys become martial artists in the future or not, it has given them a chance to change their fate. Whether they can seize it or not depends on themselves. This is all Yang Fei can do for now.

Looking at the number of silver and copper coins he had left, Yang Fei now had 1737 silver coins and 151643 copper coins. He then exchanged 151600 copper coins for 1516 silver coins, bringing his total silver coin count to 3253.

Then, Yang Fei looked at his Heavenly Dao Shop. He remembered that he had unlocked the purchase permission for gray and white ordinary quality war tablets when the Heavenly Dao Shop reached level 4. He had been focusing on attacking towers and had always had a sufficient supply of tablets, so he hadn't really used these tablets.

After the expansion of the turret group, Yang Fei also plans to expand the arrow turret group appropriately. He can't favor one over the other, as both types of defensive towers are very important and are crucial to his Sky Island's combat strength.

Today, the Abyss Shop still offers white-quality Charge Stones for exchange. Perhaps we can wait before expanding, but those Charge Stones are intended for elves and other subjects skilled in archery.

Their main task is to deal with elite enemies in order to gain more experience, while the space provided for the automatically attacking white arrow towers is still made up of ordinary stone slabs.

Unfortunately, my Sky Island level is only gray, so I can only supply gray defense towers with energy tablets to achieve an infinite loop. The archer tower group, which is mainly composed of white archer towers, cannot use energy tablets.

The gray arrow tower cannot attack automatically and requires skilled players who know how to use the ballista to operate it. These two are not in a superior-inferior relationship for the current Sky Island, but rather complement each other.

"Non-attribute War Slab (White Common): One of the most common war slabs, it has no additional attributes and can be built on any quality sky island without limit. It is also the most likely war slab to be built on."

It can be upgraded and modified in any way through the Tower Upgrade Workshop, and any attributes can be added.

However, upgrades, modifications, and additional attributes are all extensions with a certain limit. This limit needs to be explored by the lord himself. If the limit of the stone slab is exceeded, the stone slab will dissipate into the air without returning any resources.

The war tablet costs 11 silver coins to buy from the Heavenly Path Shop, but can be sold for 9 silver coins; the actual market price is approximately 10 silver coins.

"Non-attribute War Slab (Gray Common): One of the most common war slabs, it has no additional attributes and can be built on any quality sky island without limit. It is also the most likely war slab to be built on."

You can upgrade the attack and defense of the defensive tower to add attributes to it. However, these added attributes are expansion content and have a certain upper limit. This upper limit needs to be explored by the lord himself. If the upper limit of the stone slab is exceeded, the stone slab will directly dissipate into the air and no resources will be returned.

The war tablet costs 6 silver coins to buy from the Heavenly Path Shop, but can be sold for 4 silver coins; the actual market price is approximately 5 silver coins.

Yang Fei was very satisfied with the price of the gray and white war stone slabs, which was the same as the arrow tower. This gave Yang Fei a sense of destiny. The two were simply a match made in heaven. He couldn't accept not pairing them together because of his obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Automatic arrow towers still need to deal with a large number of ordinary enemies. Their burst not only allows the citizens defending the city to rest for a while, but also helps to deal with some low-value enemies that your subordinates are unwilling to deal with. Therefore, the arrow tower groups should be expanded appropriately.

Yang Fei currently has: "46 white arrow towers, 3 white flamethrower towers, 1 white gravity slow tower, 7 white quality ice arrow towers, 3 gray arrow towers, and 1 gray quality ice arrow tower." A total of 61 defensive towers of various types that require War Stones.

The War Stone Tablets consist of only 36 ordinary white-quality stone tablets, 1 white-quality charged stone tablet, and 4 green-quality charged stone tablets, which is actually quite few in total.

In previous waves, some arrow towers could only remain directly in front of the turret group. Only when the slime appeared in front could these arrow towers attack the slime and participate in the overall defense.

Because of the expanded turret group, although they can still extend their range advantage, Yang Fei still plans to temporarily separate the arrow turret group and the turret group. In his view, the arrow turret group should be more flexible and have more output space.

The current situation where some arrow towers only have a brief moment to fire is definitely not enough. Therefore, Yang Fei must purchase some war slabs to bring the arrow tower group closer to the battlefield.

The next five-times extreme mode, as planned, can be easily cleared, but it should not be underestimated. Moreover, it's not a problem to practice troop deployment in advance for a million-level monster siege.

Having considered the pros and cons, Yang Fei no longer hesitated. He took out a gray ice arrow tower card and occupied the last charging stone. In this way, all five of his charging stone plates would have gray-quality defense towers, which would provide the elven archers with more opportunities to unleash their full power.

Subsequently, Yang Fei spent 231 silver coins to purchase 21 white, attribute-free war slabs to fill all the positions of the defensive towers. Then, he spent another 440 silver coins to purchase 20 white arrow towers and 20 white slabs to enhance the combat power of the Sky Island arrow tower group.

In this way, his white arrow tower group reached the auspicious number of 66. Yang Fei did not intend to deliberately make up this number, but simply discovered the number after making a purchase. What a twist of fate!

However, since that's the case, let's just let things take their course this time. We already have enough. We can open all the boxes we've accumulated during the 10x Extreme Mode and then continue to upgrade.

"Apprentice Lord Yang Fei-1, your newbie trial third wave of doubled extreme mode (5x extreme) monster siege will begin in ten minutes. Monster type - Slime, monster level - Beast level 0, monster quantity - 686769."

"Please note that you have now activated the third wave of the Novice Trial in the doubled extreme mode (5x extreme) monster siege. The three basic stats of the monsters have increased by 1.5 times. Please adjust your tactics accordingly."

"Please adjust the position of the War Slab... The movement and reconstruction functions will be restarted after the siege ends."

There were fewer slimes than Yang Fei had expected, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that his worries were somewhat unnecessary. Even with his previous defensive capabilities, he seemed to be able to completely defend against this wave.

As planned, Yang Fei, Lola, Sephira, and Li Han all climbed onto the gray defensive towers associated with the charging stone slabs. All the arrow towers moved closer to them, forming a cluster of arrow towers to facilitate the two succubus girls' command of them to fight the treasure chest monsters. Then, the rest of the group took their positions, and the defense officially began.

As for the empty, charged gray ice arrow tower, Yang Fei reserved it for Mona. The upcoming battle would not be easy, and before the elves officially entered the fray, everyone would be short-handed and would need to take turns guarding it. Mona was still resting, and after she took over the ice arrow tower, either Lola or Sephira could go back and rest.

As for Yang Fei and Li Han, they are just filler players. Their kill efficiency is no match for the three of them, so they can only be used to make up the numbers. However, if Yang Fei goes all out, he can free up the two succubus girls with the help of Sephira and the various defensive towers.

Yang Fei needs to ensure that both succubi are in good condition before the treasure chest monsters arrive, so that they can better deal with them. The solution to give the two succubi a chance to rest is to have the arrow towers and cannon towers take turns covering them.

"Ding~, Your Excellency Apprentice Lord... The Gaze of the Slime King."

"The next 150,000 regular slimes will be replaced with elite-quality corrosive slimes; 100,000 regular slimes will be replaced with elite-quality acid slimes; and 60,000 regular slimes will be replaced with elite-quality blasting slimes. Good luck!"

"Ding~, Your Excellency Apprentice Lord... The Slime King's Theft!"

"The next 120,000 regular slimes will be replaced with elite-quality bronze slimes, and the next 80,000 regular slimes will be replaced with elite-quality silver slimes. They will be stealing your territory's wealth, so please protect your assets!"

Seeing the total number of all the elite slimes on the blue door, Yang Fei breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although there weren't many Ice Slimes, the total number of elite monsters still exceeded his expectations, almost a third of the total.

The more elite monsters there are, the more loot you'll get. Just those 80,000 silver coins from the slime alone is a huge haul. If you don't count the low-probability silver coin drops, you could also get 400,000 copper coins.

Adding the 120,000 copper coin slimes, this wave of copper coin rewards has already reached 560,000, which is equivalent to 5600 silver coins. Most of the previous preparations have been recovered.

Not to mention the various other rewards in this wave, I've already made a profit. As for the number of Ice Slimes, although it wasn't as exaggerated as I had expected, the ratio of nearly one-twelfth is still enough for nearly eight hundred slimes that can be generated per minute.

Yang Fei didn't complain much about this. That's how defense is. As long as you can get through it smoothly according to plan, that's more important than anything else.

As Lola and Sephira opened fire to suppress the monster spawn point, several artillery cannons on the artillery position fired in unison, clearing out the ordinary slimes that had previously climbed onto the War Corridor. Yang Fei also took a deep breath and immediately threw himself into the battle.

Whether it was because he was too engrossed in the battle, or because he was exhausted from fighting the two succubus girls last night, Yang Fei once again entered that state of enlightenment during the battle. A continuous stream of true energy flowed into Yang Fei's body, and all his cultivation techniques circulated smoothly, transforming this true energy into Yang Fei's own physical strength and power, supporting Yang Fei to continue fighting.

The battle began at 5:30 a.m. and lasted until 1 p.m., nearly eight hours. Yang Fei, whose body and mind were both in a state of enlightenment, was the first to have his stomach give way and let out a wail. He was finally awakened from his enlightenment.

Yang Fei hadn't eaten dinner last night, nor breakfast this morning, and lunch had passed by without him realizing it. If he hadn't been constantly replenishing his energy by killing enemies, he would have collapsed long ago. Most of the true energy consumed in battle was used for cultivation to strengthen himself, and it couldn't help Yang Fei replenish the energy he needed. At least at the martial artist stage, eating was still quite necessary.

Yang Fei leaned back, and a soft touch instantly enveloped his tired body. Mona's small mouth met Yang Fei's, and a mouthful of sweet lean meat porridge entered Yang Fei's mouth, just like yesterday.
