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

Yang Fei smiled. Everything was developing in the best direction. So what if you have five thousand monsters? As long as the frequency of monster spawns doesn't change, this time it will still be the succubus girl's home turf.

As expected, the succubus girl waited for other types of slimes to gather around the Ice Slime, or for the Ice Slimes to be close enough to trigger a chain reaction.

A swift attack! The arrows struck the inconspicuous Ice Slime in the swarm of slimes, instantly unleashing a blizzard on the calm battlefield and freezing the large group of slowly advancing slimes!

Unlike the previous wave, this wave had more exploding ice slimes, and the chain reaction across the battlefield became increasingly intense. As a result, the defensive lines that Yang Fei had arranged behind them sometimes seemed superfluous. Apart from the three arrow towers on the second defensive line, the arrangements behind them were almost completely useless.

Seeing this, Yang Fei promptly adjusted his strategy, deciding not to fire on the third and fifth lines of defense for the time being to avoid wasting energy. He only needed to use the arrow towers on the second and fourth lines of defense to kill any stragglers.

The Ice Slime's 300 damage is still too authoritative. Even with a double damage bonus, no slime at this stage can withstand a self-destruction, including the Ice Slime itself.

Yang Fei hadn't expected that he couldn't withstand the damage from his own teammates' self-destruction, and that he would only have 1 point of health under normal circumstances. Perhaps this was the price of appearing on the scene early.

On the edge of the refugee camp in the Sky Island world, Yue Lingling and Li Han watched as swarms of slimes rushed out of the blue door and were then slaughtered by the long-tailed demons on the arrow towers, and a chill ran down their spines.

"We also came out of that door, which means that if that long-tailed demon is unhappy, we will also be killed like that?" Li Han gripped the steel gun in his hand and muttered to himself in a low voice.

"That should be right. Tell everyone not to provoke those demons, especially that long-tailed demon. They must also show respect to that lord. Although I can't say the specific reason, please continue to trust me. Coming here was the right decision."

Yue Lingling looked at the "Long-tailed Demon" who seemed quite evil in the eyes of other men. As a citizen of the Sky Island, she was unusually complex. In a sense, this Long-tailed Demon was truly evil.

"Once the defensive battle is over, I will ask the lord what kind of work he will assign us. We will do our best to complete it. Only in that way can we live here in peace."

At this point, Li Han paused, looked at the emaciated women and children behind him, and said with a helpless expression, "Otherwise, I highly doubt that those demons would treat us as food."

"Hmm, I see two arrow towers on the edge of this island. Do you really know how to use the ballistae on those towers?" Yue Lingling looked at the young soldier. In order to gather pregnant women and children in those short ten minutes, she hadn't really asked about their archery skills.

This is one of the reasons why she didn't refute the succubus's sarcastic remarks. Otherwise, according to her demonic knowledge, as long as the mysterious lord was present and spoke up for her, the succubus would never have said a word.

Unfortunately, he was in the wrong and had indeed been cunning, failing to provide the required ten archers, which left a bad impression on the lord. He was powerless to refute them.

"I should be able to, but..." Li Han sighed as he touched his bare arm with his only remaining hand. If he were to shoot a ballista now, he wouldn't be able to hit the bullseye every time, but he would still be able to get a 9.9 out of 100.

However, pulling that ballista, which is more than a person's size, would probably be quite troublesome for him in his current state.

"How about we select two assistants to help you operate the ballista? You just need to aim." Yue Lingling looked at Li Han's one arm and shook her head helplessly. When the soldiers were choosing to enter, she had deliberately asked who knew how to use the ballista.

Unfortunately, in their world, soldiers prioritized firearms. If firearms couldn't win, they'd use artillery, missiles, or even nuclear weapons. In some conventional military viewpoints, losing with firearms wasn't a matter of skill, but rather insufficient firepower! With enough firepower, anything could be defeated!

Even when it comes to using melee weapons, daggers and spears, which have advantages in close combat, are preferred. Ballistae really don't have much of an advantage; in modern armies, only a very few special units might be equipped with them, and regular armies have always disdained such weapons.

This young soldier had specifically trained because he liked it; otherwise, out of the five thousand people in the entire settlement, not a single one was proficient in crossbows.

"This is the only way. We didn't bring much food with us, enough for only a few meals. We must work to earn resources as quickly as possible. Besides, our world needs us to demonstrate our value here."

"Even if it's just to get that lord to open the gate one more time and bring over some of the remaining people from our settlement, that would be good." Li Han gripped his steel spear tightly, looking resolutely at the blue door.

This time, nothing unexpected happened. Yang Fei easily and smoothly passed this wave. In fact, because it went so smoothly, Yang Fei didn't even realize when the three treasure chest monsters that reappeared were hit by the succubus girl.

"Congratulations, Trainee Lord Yang Fei-1! You have successfully completed the first wave of monster sieges in the Novice Trial, covering all difficulties. You are ready to start the second wave of monster sieges on Easy difficulty at any time."

"Congratulations, Trainee Lord Yang Fei-1! You have perfectly cleared the first wave of the Novice Trial, all monster siege modes, and obtained the basic building card - Troop Nest, which has been sent to your system space... Countdown: 5 minutes."

After leading everyone back to the Sky Island, Yang Fei looked at his system inventory: 1 gold coin, 10+35 silver coins, 35-5+56 gray crystals, 53+1666 pieces of bio-rubber, 1810+3651 copper coins, 2 gray ice arrow tower cards, 6 gray arrow tower cards, 2 gray treasure chests, and 1 white treasure chest.

Compared to the 5 energy crystals the succubus girl consumed on her own, this was a huge profit.

Originally, the cost should have been higher, since the five white arrow towers combined could only kill 250 high-health enemies. Compared to the more than four thousand killed by the succubus, there were still over a thousand remaining.

Fortunately, seeing that the enemy numbers were sparse, Yang Fei ordered the flamethrower towers and slowing towers on the fifth line of defense to temporarily halt their continuous attacks and wait for an opportunity to launch a more efficient attack. There was no need to worry about letting one or two ordinary slimes slip through.
