Chapter 198 The third teleportation crystal is activated, the sea tribe attacks
The first batch of monsters came quickly and left even faster.
These fishmen from the shallow sea were completely wiped out five hundred meters away from the Fulcrum City.
Mo Yu let them completely land before commanding the defense tower to launch an attack.
So, by the time they realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
Under the powerful fire suppression, all the fishmen and sea beasts were killed on the island.
The coastline gradually fell into calm, leaving only corpses on the ground.
The queen ant commanded the ant colony, and they quickly moved forward and dragged the corpses of sea beasts on the ground back to the city.
Due to the restrictions of the mission rules, Mo Yu only brought the army, but not any supporting logistical supplies.
However, the defense time is three days, and it is impossible for so many people to go without food and water.
Therefore, the issue of logistics supply is something that he, as the lord, must consider carefully.
Otherwise, this team of a thousand people will not be able to hold out for long and will collapse.
These sea beasts in front of us are undoubtedly an excellent source of food supply.
The intensity of the battle is not high now, and there is just enough time to collect these foods. Otherwise, there will be no such good opportunity later.
As for the water source problem, the shadow scouts had just gone out of the city to investigate and had already found out the results.
Outside the city, near the east side, there is a lake that contains very precious fresh water resources.
This lake is protected behind a series of cliffs by the sea, making it difficult for sea creatures to launch attacks from there.
Therefore, it is difficult to be destroyed by marine creatures.
The entire lake is not big, but it is not a big problem to provide them with drinking water for two or three days, as long as they are careful not to be destroyed by sea creatures.
In fact, these low-level sea creatures in the early days did not have strategic awareness in this regard.
Except for the initial wave of attacks organized by the fishmen, all subsequent attacks were charges by small teams, and there was no decent organization at all.
This also made Mo Yu breathe a sigh of relief. The monsters' attack was disorganized, which meant that there was no powerful sea creature controlling and dispatching them in secret.
With such a low-intensity attack, the creatures summoned by just a few summoning towers were able to easily eliminate them on the coastline.
In this situation, Mo Yu didn't dare to let several summoning towers release ammunition summons.
After all, the creatures summoned by the summoning tower, except for the ant colony summoned by the Earth Ant Nest Tower, which can be collected in the ant room, all others have a duration.
Once the duration is up, they will disappear immediately.
The current attack power was certainly not worth going full fire, so he simply let the summoning towers recover their ammunition before summoning once.
The ammunition is always kept full, and the summoned creatures have ammunition restored every minute.
But even so, the number of summoned creatures is still quite large.
The epic Skeleton Summoning Tower summons 300 Skeletons every three minutes, which can last for three hours.
The Fire Wolf Summoning Tower summons 80 Fire Wolfs per minute, which lasts for hours.
The Hidden Zombie Summoning Tower summons 50 Hidden Zombies every three minutes for one hour.
12 Death Guard Towers summon 120 mummies every minute for two hours...
In this situation, a large number of summoned creatures quickly gathered on the coast.
They are the first line of defense against attacks by sea beasts.
The intensity of the attack at this stage is naturally unable to break through even this first line of defense.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mo Yu quickly cleared out other creatures on the island.
Strictly speaking, there are actually just a dozen earth-type monsters.
Without paying any price, with the support of the defense tower, Salwen easily took down these earth monsters and successfully harvested ten fourth-level earth magic crystals.
This should be able to support the consumption of the magic altar.
At the same time, the stone sealing tower also successfully sealed thirteen rare fourth-order stone armored beasts.
Unfortunately, the activity range of the creatures summoned by the stone seal tower is only 1000 meters, otherwise Mo Yu would consider sealing a few aquatic creatures and going to the ocean to investigate the situation.
The dense forest south of the Fulcrum City was also gradually burned out under the erosion of the Fiery Fire Tower.
Now the situation of the entire island is in full view.
Except for a small area of steep cliffs in the east that makes it difficult for the sea clan to attack, the terrain in the other three directions is very smooth and there are no obstacles.
Time passed bit by bit, and the light inside the No. 1 teleportation crystal column gradually filled up and finally lit up completely.
[Reminder: Transmission Crystal Column No. 1 has been fully lit! ]
Mo Yu did not stop and activated the No. 2 teleportation crystal column as soon as possible.
There was only a two-hour gap in the challenge mission. We were delayed for a while just after arriving at the Fulcrum City, so there was not much time left.
Naturally, he didn't dare to be careless at all. If he held on until the end and failed the challenge due to lack of time, he would have no place to cry.
As the No. 2 Teleportation Crystal Column was activated, the strength of the monsters appearing on the coastline began to gradually increase.
It was approaching dusk and the sky was gradually getting darker.
This also means that Mo Yu's defensive battle will become more difficult.
When darkness falls, vision will be greatly restricted. If you are not careful, you will be sneaked out of the city by monsters in the sea.
In particular, because many marine organisms live in the deep sea, their visual systems are able to adapt to darkness.
On the other hand, most creatures on Mo Yu's side do not have night vision.
In terms of night battles, they were at a disadvantage.
To this end, Mo Yu’s solution was very simple, which was to produce a large number of torches and transform them into torch towers.
As for the source of the oil for the torches, it is the oil from the bodies of those sea creatures.
The magical energy that transforms the torches also comes from those sea beasts.
Although they did not drop any loot, they were not stingy with their magic power.
Soon, a large number of torch towers were built on the island.
The entire island was brightly lit with flames, as if it were daytime.
In this situation, it is no longer important whether the soldiers under your command have night vision capabilities.
After the second teleportation crystal column was activated, the sea beasts' attack momentum became slightly more fierce, but overall it was not beyond expectations.
Mo Yu breathed a sigh of relief and began to assign personnel to keep watch.
At present, only half of the three days have passed, and the offensive is still relatively slow. Naturally, we should rest as much as possible.
Only by conserving your energy can you better meet the next challenges.
Tonight and tomorrow daytime may be the few opportunities for rest. By tomorrow night, when the sea clan's offensive breaks out completely, there will be no such opportunity.
Mo Yu assigned the task of keeping watch to Salt, and at the same time, arranged for the queen ant, who had strong mental strength and only needed a small amount of sleep, to assist.
There are not many people on night watch on the city wall. After all, the real main force of night watch is still the defense tower and summoned creatures.
After arranging the tasks, Mo Yu ate some sea beast meat, leaned against the teleportation crystal column, spread some hay, and lay down with his clothes on.
The ground was a little cold, but not a big deal.
After being promoted to the third-rank lord, his physique was strengthened a lot, so sleeping for one or two nights wouldn't be a big problem.
Not long after lying down, Mo Yu fell into a deep sleep.
In a place like this, there's no need to talk about sleep quality. It's good enough to be able to fall asleep.
And in the waters outside the island, a new group of sea creatures arrived.
Under their appeasement and command, the rioting sea beasts gradually gathered under their command. The situation in the sea was quickly fed back to the island.
The sea beasts that had originally been coming to deliver food in an endless stream were rapidly becoming sparse at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This signal was quickly received by Salt.
He realized that some sea creatures were consciously gathering sea beasts in preparation for the next wave of attack.
But Salt was not panicked. Mo Yu and he had taken this situation into consideration during their discussions during the day.
The solution is to respond to all changes by remaining constant.
The ocean is the world of those sea creatures. Even if Mo Yu knew that the other side was gathering troops, it was impossible for him to launch an attack.
They had no ability to engage in naval warfare and had no way of restricting the other side.
Naturally, the only way to deal with it is to defend the city and wait for the sea people to take the initiative to attack.
Anyway, the defense only lasts for three days. No matter how much the sea tribe gathers its forces, they will attack by tomorrow night at the latest.
There will definitely be a fierce battle, and we will see how intense it will be.
……
At around four in the morning, Mo Yu was awakened by the shadow scout guarding the crystal pillar.
"My lord, the second teleportation crystal pillar has been fully lit!" the shadow scout reported in a low voice.
This was his task, to observe the crystal column and wake him up the moment it lit up.
Mo Yu, who had just woken up from sleep, had not yet reacted.
He opened his eyes, and after a brief moment of daze, his eyes gradually regained focus.
After realizing something, he turned his head and quickly looked at the teleportation crystal column beside him.
"Is it lit already?"
After receiving a positive response from the shadow scout, Mo Yu immediately activated the teleportation crystal column No. 3.
The sea is calm and one third of the mission has been completed. Just light up four more and it will be the final battle.
Mo Yu felt refreshed, and the drowsiness he felt after just waking up dissipated a lot in an instant.
However, he still felt a little dizzy, which was caused by poor sleep quality.
I was used to the sleep recovery function in the lord's courtyard bedroom, and it was suddenly gone, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.
I checked the time and it was still early, about 4:10 in the morning.
Mo Yu stood up and walked to the edge of the city wall.
In the distance, the coastline was very quiet, with no sounds of fierce fighting.
He sighed, knowing that a bad situation had occurred. The sea people were consciously gathering their forces, waiting for an all-in attack.
Just gather together, in the end it all depends on who has the bigger fist.
Mo Yu has full confidence in his own defense tower.
After a stroll, he found Salt who was on guard and took him to sleep.
The other soldiers on night watch have been replaced by a new group, and the group from last night have all gone down to rest.
Mo Yu yawned and started communicating with the queen ant.
"How was it last night?"
"Only a small number of enemies appeared, and they have all been wiped out." The queen ant's gentle voice sounded in his ears.
After a period of growth, the queen ant's voice changed from its original immature voice to a much more mature one.
Among the many types of ant colonies in the earth ant nest tower, the queen ant is the most special one.
It's not just because it is the only leader of the ant colony, but also because the queen ant is the only one with the potential to grow, and also the one with independent consciousness and advanced intelligence.
That’s right, the queen ant can grow slowly.
This was also what Mo Yu suddenly discovered before, and then he officially confirmed it after asking the queen ant.
"Okay, continue to monitor the situation along the coastlines. If a large number of sea beasts appear, tell me immediately." Mo Yu said.
He was not surprised by this result, as he had already guessed it when he saw the quiet coastline.
Now it just confirms that idea.
Mo Yu then thought of something else and asked, "By the way, what is the current situation of the ant colony? How many rare-level earth ants are there?"
"300 rock-armored giant ants, 100 rock-armored army ants, 99 rock-armored acid ants, of which 218 are rare level 185, 96 are rare level , and are rare level ." The queen ant quickly reported.
"Well... continue to maintain the summoning rhythm and strive to replace all of them with level four or above." Mo Yu was very satisfied.
This is another advantage of the queen ant. She can control the ant colonies in the ant chambers of the earth ant nest tower at any time.
When we attacked the pyramid ruins before, the high-level ants in the ant room were completely destroyed.
After spending a night in the territory and then coming here, another 20 hours passed and the ant colony in the ant room was replenished again.
There are more than two hundred mutated rock ants of the rare fifth-order strength alone.
This is a huge help, no less than the other troops.
Mo Yu was in a very happy mood and wanted to fight with the sea creatures immediately.
He didn't have to wait long for this opportunity.
A little after five in the morning, the queen ant brought news that a large number of sea creatures had landed on both the north and south sides of the island.
"How strong is it?" Mo Yu asked excitedly.
He is not afraid of these sea creatures coming out now, but he is afraid that they will hide and not go all in until the last ten hours.
Now that they appear, they can consume the summoned creatures that are about to "expired" summoned by the defense tower.
The queen ant soon brought news.
"There are second- and third-level strengths. In addition to various types of sea beasts, the largest number is a kind of shrimp-like sea creature."
"They come in two types. One is in beast form, using its claws to attack, and is very powerful. The other is in semi-human form, with outstanding melee capabilities, and can use multiple weapons at the same time."
The information reported by the queen ant was very detailed. With her advanced intelligence, she knew exactly what information Mo Yu wanted to know.
"Okay, don't send out the ants in the ant room yet. Just mobilize the ants that have been summoned to resist."
Mo Yu was not worried about these creatures. After such a long time, his summoned creatures had formed an extremely thick wall on the coastline.
On the contrary, he was somewhat worried that the power he displayed was too great, which would scare these shrimp-like sea creatures and cause them to retreat back into the sea.
Now that it has appeared, try to destroy it.
This saves them from having to retreat and join the sea creatures coming from behind.
If we solve more problems now, the defensive battle later will be slightly easier.
Besides, he doesn't need to consume anything, just some extra ammunition from the defense tower and the summoned creatures.
Just like that, with Mo Yu's deliberate indulgence, those sea beasts and sea creatures were "unstoppable" and soon advanced nearly a thousand meters from the coastline.
At this location, the Fulcrum City is already within sight.
The sea creatures were naturally extremely excited, as if they were injected with chicken blood, and rushed forward like crazy.
But they had no idea that this was the result of Mo Yu's deliberate guidance.
At close range, it can prevent sea creatures from escaping back into the sea, and also make them completely within the range of the defense tower to maximize output.
What fun is there, but not to pinch!
