42: The Rocket Mage's Roar! A carnival of money, power, and technology!

Under the blood-red sky, the Ironclad Lord, like a moving mountain of steel, descended with an aura that crushed everything in its path.

Its body was covered in thick, despair-inducing black iron armor plates, and hot steam hissed from every joint.

The battle-axe in its hand, larger than the entire War Lord, gleamed with a chilling light that made one's heart palpitate.

The moment it appeared, the black chain from the system, full of malice, precisely bound the Hell Tower.

The molten crystal on the tower's peak, which had previously resembled a demon's eye, completely extinguished its light, as if all its vitality had been drained.

Pulling the rug out from under it!

The strongest spear was broken before the battle even began.

"Roar—!"

The Ironclad Lord let out a deafening roar, seemingly declaring its victory.

It raised its arm high, and a massive flying barrel, made of planks and iron hoops, materialized in its hand.

Ironclad Warrior Barrel!

Whoosh—!

The flying barrel, with a piercing whoosh, arced in a precise parabola, soaring over the fragile defense line formed by the Rock Guardian and Goblins, and slammed into the base of Lin Feng's city wall!

Bang!

Wood splinters and iron shards flew everywhere, and three short figures, also clad in iron armor and wielding battle-axes, leaped out of the shattered barrel, charging directly towards the newly constructed Armor-Shredding Rocket Mage Tower!

This was a fatal combo!

First, disable your strongest single-target output, then use airborne troops to strike directly at the heart, eliminating your remaining, threatening backline!

However, the Ironclad Lord's emotionless, steel-plated face seemed incapable of understanding what kind of monster it was facing.

Just as the three Ironclad Warriors were about to reach the tower, Lin Feng moved.

"Hero Transformation."

The figure of the War Lord abruptly appeared on the city wall.

In his hand was the Greed Blade, a weapon with an offensively low attack power, yet capable of creating miracles.

He didn't even glance at the distant BOSS; instead, his eyes, like he was looking at three sparkling money bags, fell upon the three Ironclad Warriors.

"Good, come on."

He calmly drew the peculiar longbow formed by the Greed Blade; countless intricate golden runes were engraved on its body, and a strong sense of weakness washed over him, but a cold smirk played on Lin Feng's lips.

He stood on the city wall, looking down from above, aiming at the Ironclad Warrior in the lead.

Whoosh!

-8!

One arrow shot out, and a comically, almost insultingly low damage number floated above one Ironclad Warrior's head.

Its 50 points of armor almost completely negated the War Lord's damage.

The Ironclad Warrior even looked up, as if mocking its overconfident opponent.

But immediately after.

+10 Gold Coins

Attack Speed +10%

A look of bountiful joy appeared on Lin Feng's face.

This was the feeling!

He didn't want damage; he wanted the infinitely stacking attack speed and gold coins that these three "power banks" provided him!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The speed at which the arrows were fired visibly increased, leaving trails of afterimages in the air.

-8! +10 Gold Coins

-8! +10 Gold Coins

-8! +10 Gold Coins

The three Ironclad Warriors were thoroughly enraged by this inexplicable "scratching master," ignoring the rain of arrows above their heads and furiously swinging their battle-axes at the defensive tower.

And at this moment, the two silent Rocket Mage Towers beside Lin Feng finally let out their roars!

The Mage at the top of the Armor-Shredding Rocket Mage Tower shouldered his rocket launcher.

Whoosh!

A rocket, trailing dark green exhaust, whistled out at an astonishing speed, not flying towards the BOSS, but accurately hitting one of the Ironclad Warriors attacking the defensive tower!

Boom!

-120!

A damage number far exceeding Lin Feng's scratching damage burst forth! The small-range explosion shockwave even knocked the other two Ironclad Warriors flying!

Even stranger, a broken armor icon appeared on the hit Ironclad Warrior.

Armor -10%!

At the same time, the Quad Rocket Mage Tower on the other side also opened fire!

The Goblin Mage at the top of the tower let out a maniacal cackle and brazenly pulled the trigger.

Four rockets, like shells fired from a cannon, screamed as they tore through the air, fanning out and instantly covering the entire battlefield!

Two of them accurately struck the two Ironclad Warriors who had just gotten back up, instantly depleting their already low health!

The other two, bypassing the chaotic battlefield, flew directly towards the massive Ironclad Lord!

Boom! Boom!

-70!

-70!

Two not-too-high, but absolutely not negligible, damage numbers floated above the Ironclad Lord's head.

Its 100 points of armor could not completely negate the rockets' high base damage of 120 points.

This sudden firepower made the Ironclad Lord's massive body involuntarily take half a step back.

The script was wrong!

Aren't these towers Mage Towers? Why are they firing such unreasonable iron lumps?

Before it could figure it out.

The Armor-Shredding Rocket Mage Tower's second shell had already hit again!

-76!

Armor -20%!

The BOSS's armor was further weakened, and the Quad Rocket Mage Tower's damage increased accordingly!

A perfect output cycle was formed!

One tower was responsible for armor penetration, and one tower was responsible for the main output!

And Lin Feng, like a tireless farmer, used the Greed Blade in his hand to unleash a frantic rain of arrows on the last remaining low-health Ironclad Warrior.

"Don't run! Let me shoot a few more arrows! Just a few!"

His attack speed had already stacked to an incredible degree, and the longbow in his hand had almost turned into a blur.

The "+10 Gold Coins" notifications refreshed wildly on his panel like a waterfall.

The Ironclad Lord was completely enraged!

It gave up thinking and raised its arm again, and a second Ironclad Warrior Barrel whistled through the air!

"Good, come on! The more, the better!"

Lin Feng was not startled but rather delighted, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the three "new money bags" descending from the sky.

The entire battlefield presented an extremely bizarre scene.

In the distance, the Star Fury Mage Tower and the Holy Witch Tower, along with the Rock Guardian, were dutifully clearing the low-level minions summoned by the Ironclad Lord, maintaining the stability of the front line.

In the mid-field, two Rocket Mage Towers, with their peculiar art style, were furiously outputting damage to the Ironclad Lord, rockets pouring out as if they were free, pushing the BOSS back step by step, with damage numbers and armor-shredding icons constantly appearing above its head.

Nearby, the War Lord controlled by Lin Feng had completely abandoned his dignity as a hero, standing on the city wall like a miser, frantically scratching and shooting at the endless stream of Ironclad Warriors below, while watching his gold coins rapidly increase and letting out joyful, strange laughs.

His attack speed grew faster and faster, and his gold coins increased more and more.

Just then, the Ironclad Lord suddenly let out an angry roar!

Unyielding Battle Will!

A dazzling green aura lit up beneath the BOSS's feet.
