Chapter 5: Yaoguang Tower
"Surround it without attacking and wait until it can't hold on!" Mo Yu was alert to the movements in the forest and commanded the prairie wolves to roam near the forest troll.

After all, this is a second-level monster. Although it was seriously injured, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and its dying counterattack is not something the prairie wolf can withstand.

Therefore, Mo Yu chose the safest method, consumption!
The forest troll's leg was injured, its mobility was greatly reduced, and the plague of the dark corpse was constantly eroding its body.

So, time is on his side now.

The only uncertain factor is the human bandits peeking in the distance.

It’s just that the other side is not very courageous and is always watching, without the courage to join the battlefield and get a share of the pie.

On this side, the prairie wolves were very familiar with carrying out Mo Yu's orders.

After all, this is the tactic it is best at.

The forest troll roared angrily and waved his stick to try to scare away the hateful prairie wolf, but to no avail.

The prairie wolf in front of him was not the wild monster that he had just killed, but one of Mo Yu's soldiers. Every move of his revealed human cunning.

Under Mo Yu's command, the prairie wolves tried two feint attacks and successfully tricked the forest trolls into throwing out their only weapon - a giant wooden club!

After losing their weapons, the already weak forest trolls' situation became even more difficult.

Taking advantage of the troll's injured left knee, the prairie wolf left bloody wounds on its body.

However, the forest trolls' counterattacks failed time and time again.

Finally, under the pressure of the prairie wolf's attack and injuries, the forest troll fell to the ground unwillingly.

[Kill the forest troll and gain 47 points of magic power. ]

The magic power rewarded by the second-level monster is far greater than that of the first-level prairie wolf.

Just this one was enough for Mo Yu to transform the Flying Spear Tower.

Mo Yu happily stepped forward and picked up the loot dropped by the forest troll, which was a glowing scroll and 20 gold coins.

Unfortunately, no new military recruitment orders were released.

Although it was a bit ugly, he was still envious of the fighting power of the forest trolls.

Mo Yu ordered the prairie wolves to be on high alert and check the scroll they had just picked up.

[Scroll of Radiance]

[Level]: Second level
[Effect]: You can use the second-level light spell Radiance, which causes strong blinding effect and weak light attribute damage to targets in a small range. Disposable item, disappears after use.

[Introduction]: It may have a miraculous effect on the undead.

"Flash bomb?" Mo Yu roughly understood the function of the Radiance Scroll.

Summons a strong light that can cause control in a small area, but it is a disposable item.

Rather than using it directly, it is better to transform it into a defense tower.

I happened to have some hot magic energy in my hand, so I bought two heads and collected a total of 57 points of magic energy.

As a first-level item, the crude wax spear can be transformed by consuming 10 points of magic power. The second-level spell scroll should not exceed 50 points.

It just so happened that Mo Yu also wanted to try out his lord talent.

He immediately took out the scroll of Radiance, injected magic energy into it, and activated the lord's innate ability to begin the transformation.

As the magic energy continued to pour in, the scroll of Radiance was enveloped by a soft milky white light and turned into a bright white ball of light.

This lasted for about half a minute, and the ball of light gradually shrank, revealing the objects surrounding it.

This is a miniature micro defense tower that looks palm-sized and is grayish white in color.

A white energy ball hangs on the square tower, emitting a faint white light.

[Reminder: You spent 50 points of magic power to transform the item Radiance Scroll into a second-tier defense tower, Radiance Tower.]

A message prompt appears on the lord's panel, indicating that the conversion has been successful.

【Yaoguang Tower】（↑↑↑）
[Level]: Level 0 Normal (100/) [Function]: Can throw flare bombs towards the target area, causing strong blinding effect and weak light damage to targets in a small range.

[Attributes]: 1 round/10 seconds, ammunition (10/10, 1 rounds restored per minute), range 100 meters, occupies 1 grid, bound to Lord No. 985211.

[Introduction]: Look at me blinding his eyes!
"The second-level elemental tower seems pretty good!"

Mo Yu's eyes lit up and his face showed joy.

Converting disposable consumables into permanent defensive structures is a sure-win business.

The only pity is that the Yaoguang Tower is a control-type defense tower with low damage ability and less ammunition.

"It would be better if it was an offensive defense tower." Mo Yu said with some regret.

For a control-type defense tower, the monster spawning speed is definitely slow.

Continue to browse and click on the [↑↑↑] symbol after the name of the defense tower.

This symbol represents the defense tower enhancement. It can consume ten defense towers of the same type and level to enhance them and evolve them into more powerful defense towers.

For example, Mo Yu’s Yaoguang Tower requires ten second-order ordinary element towers as reinforcement materials.

Just take a look. Now you can’t even fill up ten towers, let alone ten towers of the same type.

In addition, Mo Yu does not yet understand what 0/100 after the level attribute on the panel means.

He guessed it should be experience points or the number of monsters killed. Once the requirements are met, the level of the defense tower can be upgraded, such as from level 2 to level 3.

The specific details can only be known after experiencing the battle.

Defense tower strengthening and level upgrade, these are the two ways to upgrade the defense tower provided by the Son of the Tower.

Strengthening, similar to a player's job change, can bring about a qualitative change in the defense tower.

Leveling up, similar to player upgrades, can make the base attributes of a tower more powerful.

There is no doubt that the Son of the Tower is a pure tower-playing talent.

This is indeed an extremely powerful lord talent.

To be more precise, it should be a powerful defensive late-stage lord talent.

On the other hand, this is also a defect.

Being defensive means not being very offensive.

The later stage means more resources consumption and a long development cycle.

After all, the defense tower is not a type of soldier and it has no mobility.

"Not bad, at least the safety is guaranteed and the later stage is not weak either." Mo Yu was very satisfied.

The only headache is that I don't have much mana left. I used up 50 points and only have 7 points left. I can't even get enough mana to transform the Flying Spear Tower.

It was a bit of a mistake. We should have transformed the Flying Spear Tower first.

But it's not a big problem. With the help of Yaoguang Tower and the attack of Prairie Wolf, there shouldn't be much risk in dealing with the first-level monsters.

Looking around the territory, Mo Yu found a location on the edge of the forest and prepared to put down the Yaoguang Tower.

The construction of the Yaoguang Tower is very simple. You only need to choose a location and place the miniature defense tower in your hand, and it will directly appear as a normal defense tower.

It is very convenient, just like folding a tent.

However, just as Mo Yu was about to place the defense tower, a new prompt appeared.

The placement of Yaoguang Tower failed!

[Reminder: Your territory crystal has not been activated yet, so you cannot use the territory construction function. ]
