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

"Six pregnant women, ten infants, and 195 helpless children; one wounded soldier, plus you, making a total of eight young people; and two elderly women taking care of the children."

The succubus's face was full of mockery, her voice devoid of any emotion, far surpassing Yang Fei's mere show of skill. "Your only real fighting strength is probably that wounded soldier; you didn't follow our orders, did you?"

"We apologize, we did not mean to deceive you. It's just that there aren't many people who know about ballistae. Only the soldiers have had experience with them, and among them, only Li Han can be considered an expert. The others, including those seven young men, are just ballista enthusiasts."

Seeing the "long-tailed demon" smiling at her, Yue Lingling felt a chill run down her spine. The fear that came from the bottom of her heart spread again. Unlike the lord who hadn't said much, this long-tailed demon was no pushover.

Even in the soul imprinted on her, this long-tailed demon dislikes the human species very much. Although she doesn't like to eat people as the legends say, she is definitely good at torturing people.

"However, they, including myself, can all learn. They are all college students, and we learn things very quickly. We won't let you down." Yue Lingling didn't look at the long-tailed demon, but bowed her head to Yang Fei and continued to explain in a low voice, seemingly praying that Yang Fei would speak up to help her out.

"Hmph! Don't try to be clever. You should have realized when you became a subject here that this world is quite cruel. My lord can completely ignore you. Even..." The succubus girl paused, and Yang Fei, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

"We could even classify you as invaders and see if killing you will yield any items. For us now, even if you only drop some industrial waste, it's still better than the value you're creating." Yang Fei calmly finished speaking and then fell silent, heading towards the city wall.

The succubus girl didn't say much and followed Yang Fei to the top of the city wall. She began to summon lesser demons and tentacle jellyfish. Yang Fei was about to start the 10x extreme challenge.

There's no way around it; with this population surge, if I want to absorb these people and make them my sky island's inhabitants, I'll have to work even harder.

The 10x limit clear will reward you with another troop nest. Yang Fei must get this good stuff, especially after this group of people came. Yang Fei's desire to improve the combat power of his subordinates has become even more urgent.

Moreover, Yang Fei fantasized that if he had more combat power under his command, he could make use of that world and attract the zombie world called Qianwu Star to farm loot for him. After all, judging from the description, the zombies in that world were endless, which was just an endless mode with generous rewards and not too exaggerated difficulty.

If the zombies drop some decent items, then we're set. Otherwise, it's a waste of time, using up the War Corridor and spawn points to recruit these refugees. Yang Fei really wanted to slap himself. Why not just refresh the world properly? Why did he have to act so saintly?!

Ten minutes had passed, and all the refugees from Qianwu Star had entered the city walls. Yang Fei immediately canceled the otherworldly gate, sighed, and temporarily preserved that world, activating the 10x extreme mode.

"Understood, Trainee Lord Yang Fei-1, your first wave of the Novice Trial, Double Limit Mode (10x Limit), Monster Siege will begin in ten minutes. Monster type: Slime, Monster level: Beast Level 0, Monster quantity: 5341."

"Please note that you have now activated the first wave of the Novice Trial in the Doubled Extreme Mode (10x Extreme) Monster Siege. The four basic stats of the monsters have increased by 2 times. Please adjust your tactics accordingly."

"Please adjust the position of the War Slab... Please note the challenge time."

Seeing the sheer number of slimes on the blue door, Yang Fei could only admit defeat. If all these monsters dropped a copper coin, he might actually be able to support nearly a thousand people, but unfortunately, that was impossible. Even if they did drop coins, it wouldn't be a continuous reward; it would be a one-time bonus, making the cost-effectiveness far too low.

This time, the tactics will proceed as planned. First, the succubus girl will remain alone, holding down an arrow tower. Her main targets are the Ice Blast and the Mimic, and she doesn't need to worry about anything else.

The second line of defense consisted of three white arrow towers, which would only attack Corrupted Slimes, which had a kill threshold of 100+60. Yang Fei equipped each of them with a Lesser Demon wielding a crystal for timely replenishment.

The third line of defense is at the bend of the black swamp, where a flamethrower tower stands. Once enough slimes accumulate near the swamp, the flamethrower tower will attack. This flamethrower tower is managed by General Yang Fei to ensure maximum efficiency.

The fourth line of defense is the latter half of the war corridor guarded by Yang Fei and two other white arrow towers. The main targets of these two arrow towers, including Yang Fei, are ordinary slimes, which are monsters with a two-hit line of 60+60 or higher.

The fifth line of defense is the last line of defense, consisting of a slowing tower and a flamethrower tower. Their primary objective is to target the remaining elite slimes, relieving pressure on the ground troops behind them.

As for the ground troops, their task was to block the remaining ordinary slimes. Because Yang Fei's defensive line had too few arrow towers, it was impossible to guarantee that all the ordinary slimes passing by would be killed. Therefore, the ground troops had to preserve the last line of defense for the front line to kill the remaining enemies.

Although the defensive lines were divided according to their functions, the arrow towers' range could perfectly cover the entire war corridor due to the bends provided by the black mud, so Yang Fei arranged for all the arrow towers to be placed close together. As for the flamethrower towers and slowing towers, since their range was shorter, they could only be allocated as needed.

With the number of slimes remaining on the blue door decreasing by 1, the final battle of Yang Fei's first wave of novice trials finally began. In the early stages, the slimes were still ordinary, and the entire defensive line remained still under Yang Fei's command, quietly waiting for that familiar voice to ring out.

"Ding~, Your Excellency Apprentice Lord, you are defending against the Slime Clan... the Gaze of the Slime King."

"The next 811 normal slimes will be replaced with elite-quality corrosive slimes, 923 normal slimes will be replaced with elite-quality acid slimes, and 301 normal slimes will be replaced with elite-quality blasting slimes. Good luck!"

"Ding~, Your Excellency Apprentice Lord, you are defending against the Slime Clan's attack... The Slime King's Theft!"

"The next 666 common slimes will be replaced with elite-quality bronze slimes, and 436 common slimes will be replaced with elite-quality silver slimes. They will be stealing your territory's wealth, so please protect your assets!"
