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

On May 1st, Year 8 of the Tower Defense Era, at 3 PM, on the edge of the Sky Island Territory numbered -5 in the Tower Defense World, Yang Fei slowly opened his eyes atop the city wall. Through this short period of adaptation in the Sky Island World, Yang Fei gradually adjusted his already well-prepared body, and with just one opportunity, he could step into the realm of a martial artist, a level he had attempted countless times before.

This time, it will no longer be the spiritually barren Azure Star, nor will it be in my cramped little room, but in this spiritually abundant Sky Island world.

This time, Yang Fei felt good about his attempt to break through to the Martial Artist realm, and even believed that he would definitely succeed.

However, before that, Yang Fei's main mission was more important. Looking at the group of people who were already prepared around him, Yang Fei took a deep breath, his previous hesitation gone, and loudly announced, "Activate 5x Extreme Mode!"

"Understood, Trainee Lord Yang Fei-1, your first wave of the Novice Trial, Double Limit Mode (5x Limit), Monster Siege will begin in ten minutes. Monster type: Slime, Monster level: Beast Level 0, Monster quantity: 2666."

"Please note that you have now activated the first 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... Daily challenges are closely related to resource acquisition and are affected by the current wave of monsters. The maximum number of attempts to clear the stage has been doubled, and the challenge can only be started once per day. Please pay attention to the challenge time."

Seeing the number of monsters displayed on the blue door, Yang Fei wasn't very surprised this time. Instead, he had a relieved expression. There was nothing he could do; he was used to it. Besides, he had indeed been prepared.

The succubus girl remains the first line of defense, but this time she is alone, using a fully charged gray arrow tower. Yang Fei has her carry 4 crystals, and the target is still the Ice Slime.

Yu-i still used the Flamethrower Tower to guard 15 meters in front of the second line of defense. This time, Yang Fei gave it 8 crystals and told it to use them carefully. 20 meters in front of it, there was also a Flamethrower Tower and a Slow Tower, with two Lesser Demons on top, which were the original Arrow Tower Duo.

However, Yang Fei didn't give them any crystals. He needed to see how these two would perform and whether they would mess up such a simple control method. Both the white flamethrower tower and the slow tower had 30 attack opportunities.

The reason these two were ahead of Youyi was that Yang Fei hoped they would make good use of these 30 free opportunities, perform well, and show their strength so as to change Yang Fei's opinion of them.

If it performs well, it can also reduce the number of times Youyi uses the Flame Tower's energy, thereby reducing the consumption of one crystal. The total number of gray crystals is now really insufficient.

Behind them were still Yang Fei's Ice Arrow Towers and the group of Arrow Towers, whose main purpose was still to finish off enemies. Corrupted Slimes had 90 HP, and even with a 1.5x multiplier, they still had 135 HP. Normal Slimes and Acid Slimes also had over 100 HP, so burning them once with the Flame Towers in front was far from enough to solve the problem; the Arrow Towers had to finish them off.

In fact, Yang Fei had an idea: in the 10x extreme mode, he would move most of the arrow towers forward and set them to only attack the 180-HP Corrupted Slimes, leaving the rest to be dealt with by the defenses behind.

Since the remaining common slime, which has the highest HP among the remaining types, only has 160 HP, the second line of defense was completely destroyed by a single fire tower. The remaining arrow towers only attacked the remaining elite slimes, leaving all the common slimes for the third line of defense.

At that time, the ground troops and the last slowing tower cooperated to gather the remaining ordinary monsters that posed no threat to the ground troops, and then let the last flamethrower tower deal with them all.

The combination of swarming monsters and slowing them down is enough to burn both sides of each ordinary slime, leaving them completely under the tower. Even if it doesn't stop them in the end, there's a wall directly in front of the sky island. When the monsters rush towards the wall, they will gather again under the wall, and the fire tower can melt them.

That would be somewhat dangerous, because we would have to consider the pressure on the ground troops of the third line of defense. Although there are slowing towers to assist, if we want to save energy as much as possible, we would have to gather more monsters.

Once the number of monsters increases, even ordinary slimes will put immense pressure on ground troops, requiring them to swing their weapons and tentacles until they are smoking.

Assuming the ground troops can withstand the attack, then the 10-man limit mode is quite simple. Moreover, while ensuring safety, the ground troops' weak attack power should be used as much as possible to "break the rice cakes" (a metaphor for weakening the enemy), thereby saving some of the defensive tower energy.

The only thing to consider is whether the guy who will ultimately control the flamethrower and the slowing tower is up to the task.

This is one reason why Yang Fei was so eager to buy the slowing towers and fire-breathing towers before this monster siege. He wanted to see if those two could handle the final task; if so, Yang Fei might be able to defeat the first wave of the 10x extreme mode today.

As the bouncy slimes slowly stepped onto the war corridor, all 10 participating defensive towers fell into an eerie silence, allowing the slimes to continue advancing along the corridor.

Yang Fei stared intently at the blue door, and finally, he heard that familiar voice.

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

"The next 500 regular slimes will be replaced with elite-quality corrosive slimes. 500 regular slimes will be replaced with elite-quality acid slimes, and 223 regular slimes will be replaced with elite-quality blasting slimes. Good luck!"

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

"The next 333 common slimes will be replaced with elite-quality bronze slimes, and 287 common slimes will be replaced with elite-quality silver slimes. They will be stealing your territory's wealth, so please protect your assets!"

「500+500+223+333+287，这些个精英怪的数量已经明显超越了总数的半数比例好吗？也就是我这一波，有一大半的怪都是精英？不是说精英品质的怪比较稀有吗？这真的对吗？」

As a crossbow bolt struck the Ice Slime that had just left the blue door, the entire war corridor instantly became lively. The slow tower and fire tower controlled by the two lesser demons slowly turned their directions, aiming at the army of slimes that was about to leap forward.

As mentioned earlier, the spawn rate of a slime army is fixed. Therefore, unless you are killed by an ice-exploding slime or overtaken by a slime with a speed boost, the number of slimes in a certain area is actually fixed.

Yang Fei had specifically instructed that the two fire-breathing towers should not pay special attention to the fast-moving slimes this time. Even if they had twice the health, they were still within the range of the arrow towers. They should be dealt with by the arrow towers that would automatically attack from behind. There was no need to waste the coordination of slowing and area-of-effect attacks on them.
