Chapter 196 Preparation, Intermediate Lord Challenge

Among this batch of newly converted defense towers, the effects of the Feather Fall Tower and Air Wall Tower are similar to those of spell scrolls, and they still have the original auxiliary and defensive capabilities.

What is more interesting is the stone sealing tower transformed from the Pharaoh's scepter.

[Slate Sealed Tower] (↑↑↑)
[Level]: Level 0 Epic (18000/, seals the soul of an epic creature)
[Function]: Can summon stone slabs to seal the souls of creatures and enslave them.

[Attributes]: 15 blank slates, 0 sealed creature souls, occupying 5 grids, bound to Lord No. 985211.

[Characteristic Seal]: Can summon a blank slate and randomly seal an ability of the target, limited to creatures that are no higher than the level of the defense tower.

[Introduction]: It's my turn. Come out, Osiris's inner...

The Slate Sealing Tower is essentially a summoning tower, but the summoned creatures need to be captured and sealed in advance.

Just like the Poké Ball in Pokémon, the soul of a creature must be sealed with a stone slab before it can be summoned out to fight.

At the same time, it also has a sealing feature, the ability to seal normal creatures.

"That's right. If we enslave a few more BOSS-level creatures in the future, the effectiveness of this defense tower will be realized."

Mo Yu was quite satisfied with this defense tower.

In comparison, the Tiwak Scimitar Tower, which is also an epic equipment, is even more powerful.

The explosion here is a derogatory one.

The properties of the Tiwak Scimitar Tower are very magical. Although it is transformed from a weapon, it is not an attack tower, but a very strange summoning tower.

The only function of this defense tower is to summon the epic equipment Tiwak Scimitar.

The summoned Tiwak scimitar has a duration of two hours.

That’s right, an epic defense tower with such simple attributes.

All summoned Tiwak scimitars do not have the ability to automatically search for enemies and attack. They are just very simple equipment.

If no one uses them, they become a pile of scrap metal.

Given the nature of the Tiwak Scimitar, only the undead can wield it.

The only undead types that can be equipped at present are mummies, crouching iron zombies, and skeleton soldiers.

They are all low-level undead cannon fodder, and the Tiwak scimitar can hardly play the role of an epic weapon in their hands.

We can only hope that the Undead Summoning Towers will be upgraded in the future to summon stronger Undead creatures.

It has to be said that this was the first time that Mo Yu saw a defense tower that summoned equipment.

He thought he had gradually figured out the general direction of the Son of Tower's transformation into a defense tower, but it turned out that he was still far from exploring its limits.

There are many varieties and all kinds of wonders.

In addition to the epic defense towers transformed from two pieces of epic equipment, there is also an atmospheric shield tower, which is an upgraded version of the air wall tower.

The air wall summoned by the Air Wall Tower can only protect a distance of one to two meters each time, while the Atmospheric Shield Tower can cover a width of five meters at a time.

Moreover, the atmospheric shield has a higher defense strength and possesses wind vortex properties, which can deflect attacks and slide them to the side.

The most important thing is that the atmospheric shield released by the atmospheric shield tower can anchor the target and move with the target.

This is the most important thing. The ability to move greatly enhances the effect of this atmospheric shield tower.

Just imagine that when the legion charges, the blessing effect of the atmospheric shield can greatly enhance the effect of the charge.

The above is the general effect of the defense towers transformed by Mo Yu.

In addition, he also upgraded some of the original defense towers, and the Flame Wolf Summoning Tower was upgraded to level five.

The number of summons of the fifth-level Flame Wolf Summoning Tower has increased by five, reaching a summoning speed of twenty per batch, and a new variant of the Flame Wolf has been added with a 5% summoning chance.

Although it is of the same rare third-order grade as the original two-headed Flame Wolf, the Flame Wolf's enhanced ability is melee combat ability.

It lost its long-range ability to spit fireballs, but gained a new ability, a flaming fire shield, which can block attacks and burn nearby targets.

The positioning of the Flame Demon Wolf also changed from the original Flame Demon Wolf that specialized in both long-range and short-range combat to a pure melee demon wolf.

As for the Fiery Sea of ​​Fire Tower, it simply increases the probability and area of ​​the sea of ​​fire. It is a slight upgrade from the original one and there is not much change.

"Golden Bone Tower... Well, the progress is a bit slow, only a little over a thousand... The 45000 kills in the Skeleton Summoning Tower are progressing quite fast, but it's stuck on the Golden Bone Skeleton... The advancement conditions of several Totem Towers are also stuck."

Mo Yu checked his several main epic defense towers. The low-level ones were fine, but for those that had basically reached level four, the conditions for upgrading had become much more difficult.

For example, the golden skeleton needed for the Skeleton Summoning Tower, the epic attribute minerals needed for the Totem Tower... Mo Yu has no idea about these items yet.

Their promotion often requires luck.

For rare defense towers and below, upgrading is much easier, and mainly relies on kills, attribute magic crystals, and attribute gems.

Therefore, it is much easier to improve. What restricts them is the low output efficiency and slow progress.

Mo Yu classified and simply organized the defense towers at hand, and set the goals for focusing on training in the next stage.

After all the busy work, the territory has become quiet.

After a busy day, the people have returned to their homes.

Those who had wives were still active, while those who didn't lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The third-level residences have further improved sound isolation and comfort, so they are not disturbed by some discordant sounds.

At this point, most people are asleep.

After all, in the territory, we have to get up at five o'clock every day. We have to go to bed early and get up early so that we can keep up with the energy.

Now, the only lively place in the entire territory is the Craftsmen Department.

Vasinger, a mechanical engineer, has been fascinated by the magical constructs of the Rune Empire for several days.

The mechanical race does not experience fatigue. As long as there is enough energy, they do not need to hibernate.

It is said that they have initially mastered the overall structure of the magic construct, and are continuing to explore the two core areas of magic circuits and magic pattern drawing.

The books and materials that Mo Yu brought back gave him a lot of help, otherwise the progress would not have been so fast.

Influenced by Wasinger, Bramble had to be extremely alert.

The proud Goblin Engineer feels that his status has been affected, and due to competitive pressure, he is now working overtime every day.

But even so, it still can't be rolled over.

After all, Wasinger had never been to the territory and had not eaten or drunk for several days.

I can’t roll it up. I can’t roll it up at all.

Bramble now only dares to sleep three hours a day, in order to debug the mining machine requested by Mo Yu as soon as possible and put it into use quickly.

That’s right, the magical machinery used for mining has been basically completed and the final equipment debugging is underway.

According to the plan reported by Da Zhuang, it will take two to three days at most before it can be officially put into use.

"Come on, tomorrow will be better!"

Mo Yu stood by the window, looking at the lights in the territory, and encouraged himself.

He yawned and lay down early.

As for the affairs of the territory, we only need to arrange the general direction, and the specific implementation will be carried out by Da Zhuang and others.

So now Mo Yu doesn’t have much to worry about.

The ones who are really busy are Da Zhuang and his men. At this time, they can't sleep even if they want to.

He needed to collect information from various departments, analyze and disassemble Mo Yu's arrangements, and come up with a specific implementation plan. Which ones needed Mo Yu's review, which ones he could solve on his own level, and which ones needed to be coordinated...

Although the territory is not large, after all, it involves so many people, so there are still many details to consider.

Dazhuang's department is equivalent to a central operating mechanism, similar to the ancient Shangshu Tai.

All government affairs of the entire territory are under his jurisdiction.

Da Zhuang is busy with tasks and is always busy every day, but he enjoys it.

Although his ability in government affairs is average, he has Uhtred and the old patriarchs or stewards of various tribes such as goblins and barbarians under him.

Over the years, these people have accumulated rich experience in management and internal affairs. Together with Da Zhuang, they can support this central hub.

Da Zhuang also knows the importance of these people. He has always respected them and is constantly learning from them.

During this period, under the pressure, his abilities have also improved rapidly.

The one who was truly miserable was Choi Jung-ri.

He follows Da Zhuang around and is busy all day long.

They are either used as mobile backpacks, or work overtime to process data, and are often ordered to do things that offend others.

In just a few days, this Korean guy offended many people.

On the contrary, Da Zhuang has gained a lot of favor from his subjects.

Seeing that Zhong Han and Bertha's strengths were constantly improving, Cui Zhengli, who had originally hoped that he would not have to go out and take risks, couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

However, no matter how much he regretted it, he did not have the courage to apply to go out and fight.

Ben is a timid person, otherwise he would not have performed "acrobatics" on the stage during the auction that day.

Now that it has come to this, he doesn't want to resist anymore. Although it is a bit painful, it is safer.

Being alive is more important than anything else.

Mo Yu naturally had no idea what Cui Zhengli was thinking.

In fact, among the three adventurers, the one he paid the least attention to was this pickled guy.

After all, the other party's courage and character have already proved that he is not an adventurer worth training.

"Tomorrow I will win the challenge of the intermediate lord, and then find a time to clear all the four- and five-star strongholds. Then I can start conquering the underground world."

After Mo Yu decided on the next development plan, he soon fell into a deep sleep.

The place where Dazhuang and others were was still brightly lit.

Therefore, there is no such thing as a peaceful life; it is simply that some people are carrying heavy burdens and moving forward.

……

At four o'clock in the morning of the next day, Mo Yu woke up.

"Good morning, my Lord!"

Seeing Mo Yu walk out of the lord's courtyard, the goblin messengers guarding outside saluted respectfully at the same time.

One of them handed over some rough animal skins with some recent work plans written on them.

This is the result of Da Zhuang's overtime editing and revision last night.

Mo Yu took it and took a few glances. The plan was relatively complete. Seeing that there was no problem, he signed his agreement at the back.

After finishing his business, he started his daily exercise program.

He never fails to train in the fighting training ground for at least one hour every day.

In this world, no one knows which will come first, tomorrow or an accident.

Even with the protection of the Son of the Tower, his own skills were just as important, and he didn't want to go through the life-and-death moment of being assassinated by a Void Hunter again.

Soon, the one-hour training with the shadow scout projection and the leopard warrior projection was over.

When he came out, Mo Yu was covered in sweat.

Some are tired, some are frightened.

Today's record was good. I only died five times and lasted an average of ten minutes.

For him, this achievement is already very rare.

But at the same time, it is also a very intuitive manifestation of his own improvement in strength.

Of course, there is also the fact that the Shadow Scouts’ attack patterns are solidified, and once their routines are figured out, the training effect is gradually lost.

However, with multiple warrior templates such as dwarf warrior and mountain giant, there will be no shortage of opponents.

Glancing at the sky, the thick night sky was slightly brighter, but had not yet completely dissipated.

Now that the weather has turned cooler, the time of dawn has been delayed a lot. It will gradually dawn after six in the morning.

The Sand Trial Ground had not been completed yet, and Mo Yu had been planning to go in and take a look while he was in the mood, but he had to give up the idea.

He returned to the yard, had breakfast and took a shower.

Feeling that all his fatigue had almost recovered, Mo Yu filled the 100 empty spaces in the War Gate.

Because he was unsure of the enemies he would face in the challenge mission, he chose 50 defense towers and 50 elite soldiers.

After completing the preparations, he took out the intermediate lord rank badge from his backpack.

[Reminder: You have used the Intermediate Lord Rank Badge and obtained the Intermediate Lord Challenge Mission: Light Up the Fulcrum City! ]

[Note that the challenge mission is a real battlefield. Soldiers and resources will disappear immediately after being lost. Please pay attention to safety. ]

[The first challenge is the most difficult and offers the best extra rewards. After failure, the second challenge will be much easier and have a higher chance of completion. Please choose carefully! ]

[Tip: The time flow rate of the plane where the challenge mission is carried out is inconsistent with that of the existing plane, the ratio is ten to one! ]

[Reminder: The challenge mission can only carry 1000 people, but no supplies. Please prepare as soon as possible. You will be officially teleported to the challenge area in ten minutes! ]

……

Amid a series of prompts, Mo Yu quickly opened the task details.

[Intermediate Lord Challenge Mission (Light up the Pivot City)]

[Difficulty]: Five stars (highest level, reward 200%, random drop of one to four stars after failure)
[Task Requirements]: Light up the Fulcrum City in a small plane, activate the six teleportation crystal pillars in the city, and ensure that the Fulcrum City will not be destroyed within twelve hours after full activation.

[Time limit]: Three days. If the task is not completed after three days, it will be considered a forced failure.

[Staff limit]: 1000 people.

[Assistance]: Gain the title of Aboriginal. When landing in a different plane, you will quickly assimilate into the aborigines' aura and will not cause large-scale plane riots. The effect of the title will gradually weaken over time and completely dissipate after three days.

Judging from the introduction, the mission is very simple, which is to light up the Fulcrum City in a certain alien plane.

However, this difficulty seems a bit beyond the standard.

Is this thing called plane something that a mere third-level lord like him can access?

No matter how doubtful I am, the arrow has been drawn and must be shot.

Mo Yu quickly adjusted the personnel participating in the challenge according to the task requirements.
