Levels soared, all members broke through to level seven! (5200)

Bai Zhi slightly furrowed her brows; although she also felt a sense of pressure.

But she knew that this was the most critical moment, and as a leader, she must not show weakness.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "Everyone, perk up!"

"Leave that Resurrected Abomination to me. Everyone else, coordinate with the territory's Elemental Arrow Tower to defend."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions tightened, and they prepared for battle.

At this moment, Cao Xing's expression also became somewhat serious.

He looked toward the front.

Unlike Bai Zhi's side, in his army of fifty thousand resurrected army, there were not only a large number of boss-level creatures like Resurrected Abominations.

But also leader-level creatures like [Resurrected Corruptors] had appeared!

This group of Corruptors was just as its name suggested; wherever they passed, they corrupted everything.

The pristine white snow was stained with a layer of pitch-black aura of death.

He sighed inwardly, "This number is truly terrifying!"

"Fifty thousand Tier 6 monsters, and among them are so many bosses and leaders."

"This force is almost comparable to half the strength of that ancient battlefield!"

"However, it's not impossible to fight."

Thus, he quickly ordered, "Everyone, retreat towards the territory."

"Wait until these resurrected army arrive within one kilometer of the city walls before fighting!"

He wanted to utilize the large number of arrow towers, catapults, and the defensive capabilities of the War Ancient Trees to reduce the defensive pressure on the warriors as much as possible.

Hearing the order, the warriors no longer rushed forward as they had before, but retreated to a position about one kilometer from the city walls.

"Creak! Creak!"

The fifty thousand resurrected army trampled over the snow, approaching rapidly, carrying a terrifying sense of oppression!

When they approached within 1500 meters of the city walls, they entered the maximum attack range of some Expert-level Elemental Arrow Tower.

Instantly, a massive number of arrows shot out from the city walls.

The dense sound of air being pierced assaulted the ears.

"Swish! Swish, swish!"

A large number of attacks landed on these monsters, triggering swathes of damage numbers over two thousand.

Sharp arrows pierced through the bodies of these monsters, and black blood flowed from their pale skin.

These Expert-level Elemental Arrow Tower only had an attack power of over two thousand.

But with a sufficient quantity, the defensive capability they created was still quite formidable.

Meanwhile, the three War Ancient Trees on the other side also began to continuously throw fruit bombs.

"Boom! Boom!"

Each fruit exploded, splashing out damage of over ten thousand!

The health of a large number of the resurrected army began to plummet crazily.

Since these War Ancient Trees could also apply status effects, their attacks, after being boosted by various blessings, also reached a quite terrifying level!

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's face once again.

"These War Ancient Trees are really quite good as defensive units."

"When more War Ancient Trees break through the soil later, just relying on these ancient trees alone will be able to block the attack of a ten-thousand-man legion."

Of course, the most exaggerated output still came from the Vine Head Turrets on the city walls.

This was also a type of growth-type defensive unit that could be upgraded and could apply status effects.

At this moment, two ferocious-looking Vine Head Turrets were growing on the [Magic-Solidifying Flowerpot].

Their current level had already been upgraded to level 50, which was the maximum for Tier 5.

After seeing the enemy approach, they slowly opened their petal-like mouths and spat out dark purple cannonballs.

These cannonballs carried dark purple smoke trails, then landed in the resurrected army, exploding directly.

"! Boom!"

[ – 19861 ] [ – 20632 ] [ – 18846 ] [ – 19062 ] [ – 21076 ]

After the cannonballs landed, they splashed out swathes of damage.

And they created toxic zones on the spot, causing a large amount of poison damage to appear above the heads of these resurrected army.

Not only did it continuously reduce the enemy's health, but it also lowered their movement speed.

This was exactly the effect of the [Poison Cannonball] skill!

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad. Although these Vine Head Turrets are evil, as long as they are controlled and kept in one's hands, they can also become a powerful force."

At the same time, a large number of the resurrected army had already rushed within one kilometer of the territory.

And below, several great commanders and leaders had already led their legions to rush up.

Both sides once again engaged in close-quarters combat!

The battlefield of over fifty thousand people looked quite spectacular!

The pristine white snow was instantly polluted by pitch-black blood, and countless figures wove through it, fighting fiercely!

The sound of blades cutting skin and the roars of monsters intertwined, resounding through the night sky!

Facing enemies of this scale, the warriors also gave it their all!

The Dragon Blood Warrior legion advanced in waves, cutting the resurrected army into small battlefields.

On the other side, the Griffin Knight regiment continuously swept over the heads of the monster army, killing the bosses and leader-level creatures among them!

These two surprise forces, which had consumed a large amount of Cao Xing's resources to cultivate, were now displaying astonishing combat power.

And on the battlefield, other legions were not to be outdone.

Led by two leaders, the Star Country swordsmen had already penetrated deep into the heart of the resurrected army, slaughtering a large number of ranged monsters.

The Wind Mage legion and the Earth Mage legion continuously unleashed massive amounts of Wind Blades and chain Earth Spikes, harvesting the low-health monsters.

Including the Nightmare Archer legion in the rear, they were also coordinating with the power of the arrow towers to continuously kill more enemies.

As for Cao Xing, he continued to stand on the city walls, and whenever he saw any monsters that had slipped through, he would raise his staff to finish them off.

As a large number of the resurrected army were killed, everyone's experience bars began to skyrocket!

White light continuously rose from the bodies of the warriors below!

Even the levels of those core combat personnel were increasing crazily.

System notifications appeared continuously.

[Your territory member: Liu Muxue level has increased, current level: 63]

[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance level has increased, current level: 62]

[Your territory member: Assam level has increased, current level: 59]

[Your territory member——]

Level-up notifications appeared continuously.

Including Cao Xing himself, he also leveled up several times.

[Your level has increased, current level: 61!]

[This level-up grants attribute increase: Strength +75, Agility +68, Spirit +109, Constitution +73, Health +20000]

[Congratulations! You have become a Tier 7 creature; from now on, you will receive more attribute increases with each level-up!]

[Your level has increased, current level: 62!]

[This level-up grants attribute increase: Strength +71, Agility +67, Spirit +105, Constitution +74, Health +20000]

Seeing the notification, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.

"Finally Tier 7—"

"Now, leveling up once can actually add triple-digit Spirit attributes, and 20000 Health."

"Next, it's sprinting towards level 70, and then finding a way to break through to Hero!"

Below, the levels of the various Ascalon Warriors were also skyrocketing, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed to level 47 and 48.

There were also quite a few warriors who had killed many enemies and had already reached the maximum level of Tier 5.

The surge in strength made their morale sky-high!

When fighting, they were even more enthusiastic!

The warriors formed formations, continuously slaughtering the massive number of resurrected army.

Those working on the city walls were also watching with boiling blood!

They even wanted to jump down and have a big fight just like these warriors!

Including the Baroness, she was also watching the battle situation below in shock.

As a former Baroness, she could naturally see how powerful these warriors below were!

Over two thousand people, fighting against an army of fifty thousand!

And it wasn't an ordinary army.

The strength of this group of enemies was such that any one of them could wipe out a Baron's guard squad.

And now, a full fifty thousand powerful monsters were blocked by these two thousand people from this territory, and they were even the ones with the advantage.

This was simply an incredible thing.

Her gaze turned to the figure standing on the city walls, strategizing, and she became even more curious.

"Kill! Defeat these monsters!"

"For the glory of the Great Lord!"

The warriors' battle cries resounded through the night sky.

From the beginning of the battle until now, it had been almost thirty-plus minutes.

With the assistance of those defensive buildings in the territory, a large number of monsters fell five hundred meters below the city walls.

Even the strongest monsters only managed to rush to about one hundred meters below the city walls.

And then they were focused down and instantly killed by those Arctic People operating the Destroyer Crossbows.

Below, battle cries rang out continuously.

The warriors were distributed across the huge battlefield in front, beginning to mop up the scattered resurrected army.

Red light burned in their eyes, as if they were a group of tireless warriors.

This was the effect of the [War Horn], which directly raised their morale to the peak!

A large number of the resurrected army were slaughtered.

The army of fifty thousand had now been slaughtered until less than one thousand remained.

So many monsters had also brought everyone a large amount of experience points.

Now, those ordinary combat personnel had basically reached the maximum level for their current stage.

Creatures like Weinmne and Jode Frostiron, who had just broken through to Tier 6, soared seven or eight levels tonight, reaching level 58 directly!

As for the second tier like Braum and Assam, their levels also reached around 61 and 62, officially breaking through to Tier 7!

Then there is Cao Xing, whose level jumped straight to 64!

His attributes surged significantly.

Of course, the highest-leveled individuals currently are still Liu Muxue and Sarah.

One has reached level 66, and the other level 65.

There is no helping it; after Sarah became a Sovereign, once her domain is activated, her area-of-effect skills are thrown out frantically as if they have no cooldown.

She alone has killed countless members of the resurrected army.

Now, there are more and more Tier 7 powerhouses in Cao Xing's territory.

Meanwhile.

Cao Xing looked down at the battlefield below.

There were not many monsters left there.

A moment later, when the last Resurrected Corruptor was focused down and killed instantly.

A system prompt appeared.

"You have successfully cleared the sixth wave of the Monster Siege challenge. Battle duration: 35 minutes and 41 seconds. Your rank is: 1"

"Received clearance reward: Gold Treasure Chest * 3"

"Not bad. Counting the rewards from the previous fourth and fifth waves, that's a total of 6 Gold Treasure Chests."

"Plus the experience points from these monsters, this event is quite satisfying!"

Besides these rewards, Cao Xing also seized the first place on the leaderboard.

However, the battle on Bai Zhi's side had not ended yet, so the leaderboard had not refreshed.

It wasn't until over ten minutes later that the names on the leaderboard changed.

Cao Xing took a glance.

"Four Great Regions Monster Siege Leaderboard"

"1st Place: Cao Xing, Waves Cleared: Wave 6, Battle Duration: 35 minutes 41 seconds"

"2nd Place: Bai Zhi, Waves Cleared: Wave 6, Battle Duration: 47 minutes 52 seconds"

"3rd Place: Cheng Lu, Waves Cleared: Wave 5, Battle Duration: 13 minutes 24 seconds"

"4th Place —"

On the leaderboard, only he and Bai Zhi had cleared the sixth wave.

This caused a look of surprise to appear in Cao Xing's eyes. "Oh? This woman actually managed to clear the sixth wave too. Her strength is quite impressive!"

What Cao Xing didn't know was that the number of monsters on Bai Zhi's side was more than a hundred times fewer than his.

There were only five hundred members of the resurrected army.

But even so, these five hundred Tier 6 creatures still caused immense trouble for her territory.

Relying on these Tier 3 and Tier 4 combatants and Survivors, it was impossible to resist so many monsters!

Forced by desperation, Bai Zhi activated some kind of contingency plan, her strength surged drastically, and then she charged directly into the monster horde to slaughter them.

Relying on her own strength, she scattered the ranks of the monsters and barely managed to maintain the situation.

But even so, her side paid a significant price.

More than fifty troops lost their lives in the battle.

And over a hundred people were left in a critically injured state.

In the chat channel, the Survivors saw the names on the leaderboard and exclaimed one after another.

"As expected, Great Lord Cao Xing still took first place."

"Yeah, after all, his strength is plain to see. I reckon Great Lord Cao Xing can continue to challenge the next wave!"

"Speaking of which, Goddess Bai Zhi is also so strong, actually passing the sixth wave challenge."

"Indeed, but the seventh wave challenge will be difficult. I heard that there have already been casualties on Bai Zhi's side."

Meanwhile.

In the territory where Bai Zhi was located.

This woman with white hair stood in the snow, taking deep breaths continuously.

The white light armor on her body covered her proud chest, rising and falling with her rhythm.

Other territory residents and combatants were cleaning up the corpses on the battlefield.

At this moment, a girl with delicate features who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old trotted over and said, "Sister Bai, we cannot continue the challenge."

There was a look of worry on her face.

"We have already lost too many people. If we continue to challenge, I estimate we will—"

Bai Zhi was also struggling at this moment.

They had now cleared the sixth wave, and the system had given three Gold Treasure Chests as a reward.

According to speculation, the seventh wave would very likely give a Bright Moon Treasure Chest as a reward.

This temptation was simply too great.

Don't look at how Cao Xing has opened quite a few Bright Moon Treasure Chests along his journey.

But for most Survivors, the Bright Moon Treasure Chest is still an extremely precious resource, almost something that can be encountered but not sought!

Even a top-tier Survivor like Bai Zhi had not even opened two.

And in one of the chests, she had opened the skill book [Angel's Descent], which she then traded with Cao Xing.

Therefore, facing such temptation, even knowing the difficulty of the seventh wave was extreme, she still couldn't help wanting to challenge it.

However, regarding the previous sixth wave challenge, the corpses of those companions were still vivid in her mind.

Bai Zhi knew that to pass the seventh wave challenge, it would definitely require a huge sacrifice, and could even lead to total annihilation.

The territory she had worked so hard to manage would also be reduced to ashes; this was simply not worth it.

Therefore, this woman with white hair nodded and said, "I understand. We will give up on the seventh wave challenge."

Hearing this, the other team members breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Although Bai Zhi was somewhat unwilling in her heart, she still sighed helplessly.

Meanwhile, another system prompt appeared in front of Cao Xing.

"Survivor Cao Xing, please note: You have successfully challenged the sixth wave of the Monster Siege. Will you proceed with the seventh wave challenge?"

"(Note! The seventh wave will feature level 65 Tier 7 creatures, and will include a large number of Elites, Bosses, and Leaders. At the same time, the number of monsters will double again. Please choose carefully.)"

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing frowned slightly.

Come to think of it, Tier 6 and Tier 7 creatures both belong to the Master rank.

Because there is no bottleneck, the gap is not too large.

However, this time, there will be a large number of Boss and Leader creatures, which is equivalent to a disguised, massive increase in difficulty.

You must know, any random Tier 7 Boss has over a million HP.

Plus, the number of monsters this time has doubled compared to the sixth wave, which means it has reached one hundred thousand!

One hundred thousand level 65 monsters—one can imagine what kind of concept that is!

It is even comparable to the number of all the undead in that ancient battlefield.

Cao Xing weighed it in his heart, and then made his decision!

"Come on! I didn't kill to my heart's content yesterday!"

"Today, let me see if I can wipe out a hundred-thousand-strong Tier 7 army by exhausting all the combat power in my territory!"

Then, Cao Xing looked at the combatants below and ordered:

"Everyone, prepare for battle!"

"The enemies we are about to face will be more numerous than we can imagine. We must be on high alert!"

Hearing this, all the combatants immediately gripped their weapons, their faces all turning serious.

Including the witch who rarely attacked, Francesca also flew into mid-air, ready for battle at any time.

Meanwhile.

Seeing that the combatants below were all prepared.

Cao Xing clicked "Confirm" directly!

"You have made your choice. The seventh wave challenge is about to begin. Please prepare—"

The prompt ended.

An unprecedented aura of death instantly permeated the air.

And it directly shrouded the entire territory.

"Rip—"

One pale arm after another broke through the snow, and then one pale figure after another crawled out from within!

In the blink of an eye, a massive, surging resurrected army appeared.

Those pale bodies appeared particularly eerie against the backdrop of the snow, and not a trace of vitality could be seen in their white pupils!

They looked so terrifying!

However, Cao Xing took a look and discovered that the number of monsters that appeared this time was not as large as he had imagined.

It was about the same as the number of monsters in the sixth wave, only about fifty thousand.

A look of confusion appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

"Huh? Why are there only half the monsters?"

"Could it be that the system, in order to accommodate me, is preparing to let the one hundred thousand monsters appear in two batches?"

Although he instinctively felt that the system wouldn't be so kind.

But there were really no new enemies appearing in front.

Meanwhile.

The fifty thousand resurrected army members that had appeared in front were already charging over in a massive wave.

"Graa—"

The roars from the mouths of this group of monsters carried an aura of death, as if desperately craving to devour life.

Just as Cao Xing was preparing to deal with these monsters according to the rhythm of the sixth wave.

A "crackle" of static suddenly came into his ears.

An Arctic Person reported anxiously over the voice channel.

"Lord! Behind us!"

"Many monsters have appeared behind the territory again!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing's heart sank instantly.

At the same time, he immediately understood.

"The one hundred thousand monsters are actually splitting into two directions, front and back, to attack!"

"Damn it, the system really wasn't that kind!"
