Chapter 197 The challenge begins, island survival battle

The time limit for the intermediate lord challenge mission is three days. According to the ten to one time ratio, this means that Mo Yu can only stay there for a maximum of seven hours.

This period of time is not that long. If converted to the territory, it may only take until one or two o'clock in the afternoon to complete the task.

Even if the mission goes well and is completed early, you can still make it in time for lunch in the territory.

"The difficulty level of a team of 1000 people is uncertain for now, but the five-star difficulty level will definitely not be low."

"This time, the mission is mainly about defending the city, so you can bring more dwarf warriors. And for defense towers, you can bring more. The territory is not short of defense forces now..."

Mo Yu was analyzing the mission information while adjusting his team structure.

The goblin messengers who received the order quickly passed it on, and each team immediately gathered people to ensure that the team could be assembled when the mission started.

10 minutes is not a long time. If we delay, we may not be able to gather together.

Fortunately, it was still early in the morning and most people had just woken up and were concentrating on studying and training, so they were not scattered.

The team assembled quickly.

In terms of personnel, Salt and his air force totaled 151 'men';
Frost Giant Fuhrli and his giant warriors, 21 in total;
The dwarf leader Ironbeard and his heavily armored dwarf warriors, a total of 200 people;
The prairie barbarian leader Bode and his 400 men, the leopard warrior Salwen and his 100 men, and 10 shadow scouts.

There are also 16 craftsmen. This is the task of defending the city, and they may be able to play a role.

Mo Yu also adjusted the defense towers in the War Gate, from the output Victory Gun Tower, the defense Golden Maze Tower to the summoning Skeleton Tower...

The 100 slots in the War Gate were fully filled.

Most of the territory's powerful defense towers were taken away in one go, leaving only dozens of ordinary first- and second-tier defense towers.

In less than half a day, even if the defense tower is not there, the existing number of troops in the territory is enough to defend it.

The only thing to worry about is a rebellion among the three tribes that had just surrendered.

It is precisely because of this that Mo Yu brought the leaders of the three tribes and most of the personnel to carry out the challenging mission.

As for the rest, there are a large number of rune golems in the territory. Bruman and Teemo are also in the territory, so any problems can be suppressed immediately.

In the territory, the work of conquering strongholds has been temporarily suspended, and the hunting teams will only operate near the territory.

Although the Void Hunter, this huge cancer, has been eliminated, who knows if there are other forces coveting it in secret.

It's never wrong to be cautious. When most of the territory's strength has left, it is necessary to be cautious.

As the ten minutes of preparation time ended, a huge teleportation light gate more than ten meters high appeared in the territory.

Mo Yu waved his hand, and the team began to enter the light gate in an orderly manner.

Walking in the front were Ironbeard and his heavily armored dwarf warriors.

The strength of these Ironforge dwarves is incredible. Wearing heavy armor weighing two to three hundred kilograms, they look like human-shaped tin cans.

Their weapons are heavy hammers and round shields, a small part of which have been replaced with Soran heavy hammers with shock effects and Novager thorn shields with anti-stabbing effects.

It’s just because the forging speed of the forging department is limited, it is not enough to equip all types of troops for the time being.

Currently, there are only about fifty heavy-armored dwarves equipped with these sophisticated equipment, and the rest are still using ordinary equipment for the time being.

In the entire tribe, the Dwarf Warrior Tribe is the most fully-equipped team.

Of course, they also bear the heaviest tasks.

Following the dwarves were the leopard warriors, who were only wearing simple leather armor and were armed with short swords.

Then came the grassland barbarians, who were the most crudely equipped and whose weapons were spears.

Mo Yu was in the center with shadow scouts, giant warriors and craftsmen.

The frost giant Fuhrli followed beside him, looking around curiously as he walked.

Since arriving in the territory, he has rarely gone out to fight, and this is the first time that Mo Yu has taken him out.

Salt was walking at the end with the dragon eagle. He was yawning and looked sleepy.

The teleportation light gate swallowed up the team bit by bit, and the square gradually became quiet.

Under Da Zhuang's command, the territory quickly returned to its former rhythm.

For this large-scale operation, except for a few high-ranking officials, ordinary citizens had no idea of ​​the specific details and they just carried out their work step by step.

On Mo Yu's side, the team passed through the portal and arrived at the mission challenge site.

The place where they landed looked like it was near the sea, and looking into the distance one could see a large area of ​​water extending to the horizon.

The scenery here is beautiful, the sea and sky are clear and blue.

However, now is not the time to enjoy the scenery. Mo Yu still remembers what his mission is here.

He looked around.

Currently, they are located in front of the ruins of a city on the seashore, about one or two kilometers away from the coastline.

If nothing unexpected happens, the city in front of us is the fulcrum city mentioned in the mission.

It can be seen that the entire city is in ruins, half of the city wall is collapsed, and traces of war can be seen everywhere.

"Solter, scout the situation nearby."

"Ah."

Salt jumped onto Zuosi's back, quickly rose into the sky, and checked the surrounding situation.

With the advantage of being at a high altitude, he can quickly determine the team's current terrain and position, as well as the direction from which the enemy may come.

This is very important for Mo Yu's upcoming battle to defend the city.

"Iron Beard, take your men to check the city walls and defense facilities in the city. If they can be repaired, try to repair them." Mo Yu continued to give orders.

He also assigned 17 craftsmen to the dwarves, hoping to restore as much of the city's defenses as possible in time for war.

The internal buildings do not need to be repaired, but at least the city walls must be able to be put into use.

"I am willing to serve you, my lord." Ironbeard took the order and shouted to the dwarves below to act quickly.

When it comes to building and repairing buildings, dwarves are naturally endowed with unique advantages, and they can do things very smoothly.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Yu arranged for the grassland barbarian leader Bode to take people to inspect the facilities in the city, and try to find usable buildings or supplies, as well as the locations of those teleportation crystal pillars.

The most important condition for completing this challenge is to light up and activate the six teleportation crystal pillars.

So, the most important thing now is to find them.

Shadow scouts were sent out of the city, going in all directions to collect as much information as possible about the surroundings.

This is an unfamiliar area, and Mo Yu needs to understand the surrounding situation as soon as possible.

The whole team took quick action.

Soon, news came from Bode that the location of the teleportation crystal column had been found.

This thing is not difficult to find because it is very eye-catching.

The five or six meter tall column is quite eye-catching in this city full of ruins.

Mo Yu quickly rushed to the location of the teleportation crystal column and checked the situation.

[Transmission Crystal Column No. 1]: A spatial coordinate anchoring device that can be activated by the Lord. After activation, it takes ten hours of charging to fully light it up. Warning, during the activation of the Transmission Crystal Column, it will emit strong spatial fluctuations, which will greatly cause hostility from surrounding creatures.

"Ten hours of activation time?" Mo Yu's eyes fixed and he frowned.

He checked the other teleportation crystal pillars and found that they were numbered. No. Ⅰ had to be lit before No. Ⅱ could be lit.

In other words, it would take a full sixty hours just to fully light up the six teleportation crystal pillars!

After it is fully lit, he still needs to stay here for ten hours before the mission is completed.

All together, that’s seventy hours.

However, the entire mission was only given three days in total, which was only seventy-two hours at most.

That is to say, there is only two hours of error tolerance time in between.

Once a deviation occurs, it is very likely to exceed the stipulated time of three days and cause the mission to fail.

"My goodness, this difficulty is really..."

After analyzing the situation clearly, Mo Yu did not rush to activate the teleportation crystal column immediately, but quickly set up defense towers in the city.

Once the teleportation crystal column is activated, attacks from this plane will begin, and he needs to be prepared in advance.

The dwarves have already started repairing the city walls.

The mountain giants were dismantling the buildings in the city, throwing stones and requiring ammunition.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Salt returned.

"how is the situation?"

Looking at Salt landing from the air, Mo Yu stepped forward and asked.

"We are on an island, surrounded by sea and no land!" Salt said as he jumped off the dragon eagle.

Mo Yu was somewhat surprised by this answer.

He originally thought that he was in a coastal city, but he didn't expect that he was on an island.

Salt patted Zuo Xi, looked at Mo Yu, and continued: "This city is now in the center of the entire island, about one or two kilometers away from the coastline in all four directions."

"The island is very quiet, with few living creatures. I think the enemy will emerge from the sea."

"Well, this is the only possibility." Mo Yu nodded, agreeing with Salt's analysis.

He speculated that this plane might even be made entirely of ocean.

However, his current mission is only to light up this fulcrum city, not to conquer the entire plane.

Therefore, the composition of the plane has little to do with him.

After figuring out the surrounding situation, Mo Yu did not hesitate any longer and decisively went to the location of the teleportation crystal column in the city center and activated teleportation crystal column No. 1.

As the crystal column was activated, a faint blue light emanated from its base, spreading upwards little by little.

When the entire crystal column is filled, it means that the crystal column is fully lit.

The crystal column was officially activated and the enemy would soon appear. Mo Yu quickly passed down the order, asking everyone to be on high alert.

The repair of the dwarf city wall has just begun, and it will take at least half a day to complete.

But there is no way, the schedule is so tight.

Even if Mo Yu wanted to wait a little longer and make full preparations before starting the mission, time did not allow it.

On the city wall, the dwarves were working on and repairing the wall, while the remaining soldiers were spread across the walls, patrolling the coastline in all directions.

The Blazing Sea of ​​Fire Tower released flames, clearing the dense forest behind the city.

Since it is an island, the enemy may come from all directions. Clearing away these factors that block the view in advance will make it easier to observe the enemy situation.

Moreover, it can also prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the cover of these dense forests to reach the vicinity of the city walls.

The results of the city's exploration came out quickly. In addition to the six teleportation crystal pillars, Bode actually found a good thing.

A khaki magic altar called the Guardian of the Earth.

There are two functions. One is to apply a BUFF to the entire island, which can suppress aquatic creatures and reduce the overall combat power of the opponent by 10%;

Another is that it can protect islands from natural disasters such as tsunamis.

To turn it on and keep it running, five earth magic crystals are required.

There are five of them in the altar now, but their color is dim and they are unlikely to last long.

But the problem is, Mo Yu doesn't have any earth magic crystals.

Even though there are some in the territory, it is strictly forbidden to bring any supplies in this challenge mission, so it is naturally impossible to bring the earth magic crystal over.

Mo Yu kept it closed for the time being, and at the same time called Salwen to take people to the island to look for earth monsters.

He guessed that there might be earth-type monsters left on the island.

There are still a large number of buildings in the Fulcrum City, but they have all been abandoned.

Mo Yu vaguely saw many broken defense towers, but unfortunately they had lost their function.

He did not keep these ruined buildings, but had the giants tear them down, leaving only the teleportation crystal column in the center.

At this time, the shadow scout who was out exploring also returned, bringing news that there were wild monsters on the island.

It was consistent with what Mo Yu had guessed, there were indeed earth-type monsters among them.

As for whether the earth magic crystal will drop, it depends on his luck.

"Monsters have appeared on the southwest side. There are first-level murlocs and the sea creatures they control, such as sea snakes and sea turtles." Salter passed on the news of the monster invasion in mid-air.

Mo Yu waved his hand to indicate that he already knew.

Seeing this, Salter continued to scout around with a group of flying creatures.

Their reconnaissance range is not limited to the island, but also includes the surrounding waters and the reconnaissance range of the air force.

Once there is a large-scale enemy gathering, Salt and his men will be the first to sound the alarm.

This is also because of the territory defense issue. The tactical radar tower was not brought here, otherwise the reconnaissance situation would be more detailed.

The first group of monsters soon appeared. They landed on the beach with red eyes and rushed towards the location of the Fulcrum City angrily.

For these sea creatures, the existence of the Fulcrum City is something they cannot tolerate.

Because this is the gateway for outsiders to invade them. Once it is built, the entire plane will be destroyed overnight.

However, they were too weak and could not even reach the Fulcrum City. They were killed on the coast by summoned creatures summoned by the defense tower halfway.

But there was not much happiness on Mo Yu's face.

Through the state of these monsters, he roughly understood what the Fulcrum City meant to them.

In three days, he might face the counterattack of the entire plane.

Any creature that can come from anywhere in the ocean within three days is his enemy.

Emmm... Is the challenge mission of the intermediate lord so exaggerated?
Even though this is a low-level plane filled with low-level creatures, the power of the entire plane is quite terrifying.

Could it be that the indigenous assistance function can reduce the difficulty a little?
Mo Yu took a deep breath and didn't think about it any further.

There is no way out now, and it is impossible for him to give up.

Now that the task has been released, there must be a chance to complete it, so just do it.
