33: On the eve of the blood moon! My war lord is an army of one!
The night was deeper than any before.
The cold wind of the sixth night, carrying a dampness that presaged a coming storm, swept over Lin Feng's fortress.
The air was filled with a chilling scent of rust, as if even the wind carried the coldness of a blade.
【The sixth wave of monsters will arrive in thirty seconds.】
【First wave attack monster information: Skeleton Soldiers x200!】
【Trait: Undead Body (After being killed, there is a 10% chance to reassemble on the spot)】
The region channel, which had fallen into a deathly silence after "Titan's Grip" was instantly killed, was immediately broken by a new, even more despairing wail.
"Damn it! It's a skeleton horde again! These things are the most annoying; they might revive even after being killed. My arrow towers can't clear them all!"
"Two hundred! That's twice as many as the Snowfield Wolves in the fifth wave! The system really isn't human!"
"Help! My front line is about to collapse! That revival trait is definitely not just 10%; it feels like 50%! They're standing up again!"
Lin Feng calmly scanned these messages, his eyes showing no ripple of emotion.
He didn't even cast his gaze towards the defense towers standing ready.
His will, like an invisible command, landed on the Hero Altar.
That new figure, imbued with the will of both King and Queen, exuding a monarch'sDomineering, was awaiting his summons.
"Transform into a Hero."
The War Lord, for the first time, stepped onto the battlefield.
Lin Feng felt the explosive power contained within this body, as well as the wonderful sense of balance where close combat and ranged combat perfectly coexisted.
He would use this battle to test the mettle of his new "subject."
Whoosh—!
A shrill horn blast pierced the night sky.
In the distant mist, dense waves of white skeletons, like a breaching flood, surged towards the fortress. The "clack-clack" of bones colliding merged into a deathly symphony that grated on the teeth.
Lin Feng controlled the War Lord, advancing instead of retreating.
He voluntarily descended from the city wall, alone, to face the legion of two hundred undead.
He drew the Dragon Bone War Bow from his back.
"First, use the ranged stance to clear the initial impact and test the penetration effect."
Whoosh!
An arrow, like a black lightning bolt, accurately shot into the forefront of the skeleton horde.
-300!
The Skeleton Soldier hit, along with three companions in a straight line behind him, had his chest bones instantly pierced by the furious power, exploding into a pile of pale bone fragments.
Lin Feng did not stop; his fingers moved like phantoms on the bowstring.
Streaks of black death light continuously shot out, each arrow precisely clearing enemies in a straight line.
However, the sheer number of the skeleton horde was too great.
They fearlessly broke through the arrow rain's blockade and, in a blink of an eye, had charged before the War Lord.
Just then, a freshly shattered skeleton quietly reassembled at the War Lord's feet, its pale bone claw reaching for his ankle!
"Good timing."
A cold excitement ignited in Lin Feng's eyes.
【Close Combat Stance】!
The War Lord instantly put away his war bow, and that fearsome great axe, gleaming with cold light, was already in his hand!
A wild, unparalleled aura erupted from him!
Attack power, doubled!
"Roar!"
He let out a battle cry, like a meteor, fiercely crashing into that white ocean of bones!
The great axe swept horizontally!
-600!
A crescent-shaped, blood-red axe light, carrying a shriek that tore through the air, brutally slashed out.
Wherever it passed, over a dozen Skeleton Soldiers were cut in half, their fragile bones shattering like rotten wood before absolute power.
The skeleton that had ambushed him earlier, along with its surrounding companions, was crushed into bone powder.
The power of one axe strike actually carved out a vacuum zone in the skeleton horde!
【Second wave attack monster information: Berserker Orcs x80!】
Before Lin Feng could finish clearing the remaining skeletons, heavy footsteps already sounded.
"The orcs are here! My god, they're Berserker Orcs! It's over, it's over, I can't hold on!" In the channel, a lord with an S-rank talent let out his final wail, then his avatar completely dimmed.
Eighty burly, muscular Berserker Orcs roared out of the mist and surged into the battlefield!
"Orcs will go berserk when their HP drops below 50%. I must precisely control their health."
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed, and he instantly switched back to ranged stance, creating distance.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Arrows rained down, precisely covering the path of the orc charge.
His every attack was like the most precise calculation, perfectly suppressing an orc's health to around 51%, never triggering their 【Bloodshed】 berserk state.
By the time the orc legion charged before him, they were all wounded, yet none had gone berserk.
【Close Combat Stance】!
Switch, advance, sweep!
A series of actions, seamlessly executed.
Before the absolute attribute suppression and precise health control, these Berserker Orcs didn't even manage to swing their axes a few times before being slaughtered.
The two 【Heavy Catapults】 in the distance finally found their use. With a thought from Lin Feng, two massive stones whistled down, not at the orcs, but precisely at the reassembling skeleton remains, thoroughly grinding them into dust and eliminating any possibility of revival.
The Hero attacked primarily, and the defense towers filled in the gaps. The entire battle became a magnificent and highly efficient solo show.
When the last enemy turned to ash, the system's cold prompts sounded one after another.
【Ding! You have successfully repelled the first wave of attack! Rating: Perfect!】
【Ding! You have successfully repelled the second wave of attack! Rating: Perfect!】
【Third wave attack monster information: Balloon Soldiers x30!】

【Trait: Deathrattle (After being shot down, they will turn into bombs, dealing area damage to the ground directly below them)】
