159: Chapter 159 30,000 to Attack the Ancient Spirit Holy City?

Xu Qin marked twelve buildings to be constructed in one go.

Six anti-air towers were distributed across the six directions of the Boundless Domain.

Four shield towers were concentrated around the mooring area of the Floating City.

Two refineries were placed next to the high-tier magic iron ore vein.

"Go."

The Acolytes acknowledged the order, turned and walked down the Combat Readiness Platform, and dispersed to move toward their respective coordinate points.

...

One hour later.

Tie Ge's communication request popped up in the upper right corner of the command panel.

Xu Qin clicked to view it.

Tie Ge - Servant: Master! All the troops have gathered at the exit of the portal ruins!

Tie Ge - Servant: Forty-seven Iron-Horned Battle Rhinos, all fully grown, ready to be teleported at any time!

Xu Qin - Master: Received, open the door immediately.

Tie Ge - Servant: Alright, Master!

Tie Ge - Servant: Master, there's one more thing.

Tie Ge - Servant: Lord Ta Lun said they also recruited a batch of new troops, and asked if they should be sent over as well?

Xu Qin stroked his chin and thought.

Lord Ta Lun was from the Treant race, and his troops were Treant Warriors.

If these were killed, they would just be timber, and he wasn't short on that.

The high-tier plane fought high-intensity encounter battles,

and what was needed were consumables that could Charge and explode.

Treant-like building material units...

could only be said to be of little use.

Xu Qin - Master: Not needed for now.

Xu Qin - Master: Tell them to hurry up and expand their army and territory.

Xu Qin - Master: You too. Don't just focus on sending things to me.

Xu Qin - Master: Expand the number of territories in the low-tier plane for me.

Tie Ge - Servant: Yes!

Tie Ge - Servant: Then Master, how often should they be sent in the future?

Xu Qin - Master: No need to be too frequent. Wait until you've accumulated a hundred heads over there before talking.

Tie Ge - Servant: Understood!

Tie Ge - Servant: Rest assured, Master, I will definitely hold down the fort for you!

Xu Qin hung up the communication.

Then he opened the control panel of the cross-plane teleportation rift.

[Activate teleportation channel?]

"Yes."

Hum!

The rift expanded, and light blue light surged out from it.

A few seconds later, forty-seven Iron-Horned Battle Rhinos walked out from the light.

Xu Qin opened the command panel and said to Tian Ming:

"Tian Ming."

"Present."

"Kill them all."

"Yes, Master."

One minute later.

Ding!

[Battle victory!]

[Settling loot...]

[Talent "War Gift" triggered! Current level 21! All loot × 22!]

Xu Qin looked at the entry of over a thousand battle rhino skeletons and nodded in satisfaction.

One thousand skeletons.

According to the rules of Bone Fusion,

if twelve of them were fused into one Stitched Bone Beast,

it could craft eighty-six rhino-type Bone Beasts.

By then, they could all be handed over to War Rhino for command.

Ten minutes later.

Xu Qin was riding a rhino-type Stitched Bone Beast, strolling in the open space of the Boundless Domain.

This gadget ran extremely steadily.

Its four thick bone legs stepped on the ground, steady and powerful, and its speed was twice as fast as ordinary Bone Beasts.

He opened the troops panel and looked at this newly baked batch of goods.

[Stitched Bone Beast (Rhino Type)]

[Attack Power: 720 (Physical - Charge / Pierce)]

[Defense: 480]

[Health Points: 14000]

[Trait 1: Iron-Horned Charge (Active): Accelerate collision, first hit damage + 120%, target knocked back 3 meters upon hit, stunned for 1.5 seconds. Cooldown 12 seconds.]

[Trait 2: Iron Spine Shield (Passive): Frontal physical damage reduction 35%.]

Xu Qin stroked the Bone Beast's back and nodded in satisfaction.

"High mobility, high collision, high damage reduction."

This batch of rhino Bone Beasts was born to tear apart the enemy's formation head-on.

However...

"This panel can still be pushed higher."

Xu Qin jumped off the Bone Beast's back and walked back to the Combat Readiness Platform.

He opened the treasury and looked at the Ore Spirit inventory.

[source crystal essence: 44217]

It could increase by another thousand ten minutes later.

"Max out all these 86 heads first."

Half an hour later, Xu Qin returned to the Combat Readiness Platform.

While strengthening, he opened the regional map.

Pulling his perspective back, he looked around the continent.

He saw that in the endless pitch-black void, only sporadic pieces of rubble were floating.

The nearest larger land fragment was about two hundred kilometers away in the southeast direction, but its area was at most a few square kilometers.

In other directions, there was nothing.

"Want to meet the next opponent..." Xu Qin stroked his chin, "Probably have to wait for them to drift over."

The territory distribution logic of high-tier planes was different from low-tier ones.

In low-tier planes, everyone was on the same continent, and you could just fly over to whoever you wanted to fight.

In high-tier planes, every lord was an independent floating continent.

The continents were separated by the void.

Unless someone actively drifted close, you couldn't even find anyone to fight.

"That's fine too."

Xu Qin closed the map and lay on the bone seat with his hands pillowing his head.

"Right now, I just need to quietly develop."

"What's lacking the most right now is high-tier magic energy crystals, I must hurry up and mine them."

Just as Xu Qin was calculating, the command panel suddenly popped up a red prompt.

[Your territory is under attack!]

[Source: Guling Holy City]

[Content: Large-scale enemy troops discovered on the outskirts of the Holy City! Numbering about 30,000, they are advancing toward the core of the Holy City!]

Xu Qin sat up straight instantly.

"What's the situation? Attacking my ruins?"

He clicked to open the battle report details.

Guling Holy City, garrisoned with 100,000 troops.

The +100 strengthened Bone Python in the city, plus 100,000 ordinary undead troops.

Logically speaking, with this configuration placed there, ordinary casual players should detour upon seeing it.

But today, there really were people who weren't afraid of death.

Xu Qin opened the perspective of Guling Holy City.

In the picture, on the wasteland south of the Holy City, an extremely mixed army was arraying in formation.

In the front row were a group of three-meter-tall Iron-Armed Apes.

In the middle was the archer formation of the Scorpion-Tail tribe, with the stings at their tails erect, calibrating their shooting angles.

Standing in the back row were a dozen Stone-Skin Trolls, each five to six meters tall, covered with a layer of natural rocky shell on their bodies.

At the very front of the team, nine lords riding different mounts were gesturing about something.

Xu Qin looked at the picture and analyzed while stroking his chin:

"Just this?"

100,000 fighting 30,000, plus the blessing of city walls and damage reduction buffs.

These lords were either blind or had something wrong with their brains.

On second thought, these people probably didn't know how many troops were in the city.

Guling Holy City was located in a remote area,

and after he took it down, he hadn't appeared much over there.

These outsiders might have conquered their way near here from other regions,

and upon seeing ruins shaped like a city, they wanted to take it down.

"Just right, let the Winter Sovereign get some practice."

Xu Qin opened the sub-city management panel and switched to Winter City.

"Guling Holy City has guests. Go entertain them."

The next second, a reply came back.

"As you command, Master."

Xu Qin hung up the communication and continued to use Ore Spirit to strengthen the rhino Bone Beasts.
