However, the number of Lizardmen was simply too great; one could see that from the distant forest, Lizardmen were continuously joining the fray.
At the same time, the Ice Wyverns in the sky, their attacks were not to be underestimated.
If not for Chen Yuxuan's deterrence, which made them somewhat wary, these Ice Wyverns would have swooped low and unleashed their Ice Breath, causing significant damage to the Adventurer forces.
Soon, more than twenty Adventurers sacrificed themselves.
The notification, "You have died," appeared one by one in their ears.
However, to Chen Yu's surprise, these Adventurers did not choose to return to Adventurer World.
Instead, they chose to consume one of their revival chances to resurrect.
To enter Dark World, Chen Yu's soul crystal was required as a guide.
But once in Dark World, Adventurers could choose whether or not to spend a chance to revive at the Adventurer's Tavern.
If it were an ordinary exploration mission or a siege mission, they would probably have returned if they died.
After all, for Adventurers, a single chance was still very precious.
But today, they chose not to go back.
Instead, they continued to revive.
And rejoined the battle.
This scene made Chen Yu feel a touch of emotion.
Originally, everyone was just in a normal boss-and-customer relationship: you come to my place to play, and I collect your soul crystals.
Mutually beneficial.
But now, they actually chose to sacrifice their own interests to revive and drive away the enemies for him.
Chen Yu was incredibly moved, and secretly swore in his heart.
In the future, I will definitely scam you less...
With the revived Adventurers rejoining the battle, the previous disadvantage was instantly reversed.
The Lizardmen forces retreated again and again, no longer as arrogant as they were at the beginning.
"Something's not right."
Li Ruoshu casually killed a Lizardman, her gaze directed towards the depths of the forest.
Many Lizardmen clearly hadn't come to participate in the battle, but had chosen to bypass to other locations.
Why was this?
While still pondering, an alarm suddenly came from a village territory, indicating it was under attack.
"Damn it."
Chen Yu's face immediately darkened, "These Lizardmen were looking for my other territories, planning to completely lock down all my economy."
Except for the Liar Tavern area, which he had just taken down and was relatively far away, Chen Yu's territories were basically all in this area, so if they really started searching, they would find them sooner or later.
Especially if they found his main city.
By then...
He would definitely suffer heavy losses.
"No, I can't just sit here and wait; I must find out where these guys are coming from."
Chen Yu's eyes were filled with immense anger.
Just then.
Qi Maosong walked out of the teleportation array.
Seeing his appearance, Chen Yu was somewhat surprised.
"Didn't you... escort the village chief to the distant town? Why are you back so soon?"
According to the village chief, a round trip would take two days.
It had only been a little over a day, so why was Qi Maosong back so quickly?
Qi Maosong said with a grin: "The village chief said two days, that's two days at his pace, but how could we endure that?
So, not far from the territory, the three of us simply transformed into Zombie Dogs, taking turns carrying the village chief to the Rabbit-Ear Person town.
After finishing up there, we carried the village chief all the way back, and that's how we arrived."
Rabbit-Ear Person riding dogs.
This scene was a bit too much; Chen Yu couldn't imagine it.
Not long after.
Wu Yue and Chu Yunxiao also walked out of the teleportation, accompanied by 20 vibrant Rabbit-Ear Person maidens.
Of course, there was also the village chief, whose bones were practically falling apart.
Wu Yue and Chu Yunxiao were stunned for a moment when they saw the battle outside.
Although they didn't know what was happening, they immediately grabbed their weapons and rushed in, joining the fight.
"Lord Chen, I have not failed my mission."
The Rabbit-Ear Person village chief slowly walked over and gave Chen Yu a brief report.
Chen Yu told him to rest quickly.
Then he called Lina and asked her to arrange the Rabbit-Ear Person maidens.
Following that, Chen Yu gave Qi Maosong a mission.
"Find the castle of these invaders by any means necessary, and do it quickly."
Chen Yu's expression seemed calm, but in reality, he was extremely angry; this was the first time he had gotten so furious since coming to this different world.
He had never actively attacked anyone.
But there were always people who set their sights on him.
If others offend me, I will punish them, no matter how far away they are.
Qi Maosong quickly set out, transforming into a Zombie Dog.
Currently, this was the fastest card, very useful for traveling.
Qi Maosong quickly pinpointed the Lizardmen in the jungle, observing them from the shadows for a moment.
Soon, he found some traces.
Following these traces.
Qi Maosong had already arrived at the south of the territory.
These Lizardmen were being continuously trained, and after training, a team would be dispatched to the front lines.
Qi Maosong could tell that their attack on the territory was not a sudden whim, but had been premeditated for a long time.
Three hours later.
Qi Maosong stood on a cliff, looking at a castle in the distance.
He immediately sent the coordinates to Chen Yu.
"Lord, what should we do? Should I try a sneak attack?"
Chen Yu frowned, "I didn't expect these War Lords to develop so well in just a few days."
From Qi Maosong's observations, it was clear.
This territory had built many defensive towers, making its defense very strong.
Qi Maosong alone would probably find it very difficult to break in, let alone cause any significant disturbance.
But if he sent troops over...
Chen Yu looked up at the more than 40 Ice Wyverns in the sky.
Currently, these Ice Wyverns were all being held back by Chen Yuxuan, not daring to fly at low altitudes.
But if a large force were dispatched, these Ice Wyverns would surely follow.
At that time...
The situation might not be very good.
"This is troublesome. Currently, defense isn't a big problem, but if we keep defending... resource consumption will definitely be greater than theirs, which isn't a long-term solution.
This territory must be taken."
But how to take it was another problem.
Should he use the Tyrant Card?
Chen Yu frowned.
Wasting the Tyrant Card here felt a bit reluctant.
"Oh, right..."
Chen Yu suddenly remembered that there was actually another way.
The most common defense method for a Dungeon Lord was to form an offensive and defensive alliance with other War Lords.
His predecessor had very few friends, and Chen Yu hadn't contacted them after transmigrating.
However.
There was one War Lord who often sent him messages, so they had some connection.
This person was naturally Li Siya.
Moreover, from the coordinates sent by Qi Maosong, this territory was quite close to the coordinates Li Siya had sent Chen Yu earlier, probably just a two-hour journey.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu immediately sent a message to Li Siya.
"Are you there?"
The other side quickly replied, "I am. Why are you contacting me actively today?"
Ever since Chen Yu said he was safe, Li Siya hadn't contacted him much, busy with her own affairs.
Today, Chen Yu's active message surprised her.
Chen Yu didn't chat, going straight to the point.
"This territory, it's near you, right?"
"It is. What's wrong? Did he provoke you? I remember he uses Lizardmen as his troop type, and putting aside other things, his troop-spawning ability is quite strong!"
"Can you help me take him down?"
"Huh?"
After a moment of Stunned, Li Siya responded, "I can, but I'm currently competing for a secret realm. Can you wait a bit? I estimate I'll be able to free up troops in an hour or two..."
Secret realms are an important resource unique to War Lords; how many troops can be spawned and how much combat power can be increased depends entirely on the number of secret realms owned.
Chen Yu naturally knew the importance of secret realms and didn't want to affect others because of this.
So he said: "You don't need to send troops. I'll transfer soul crystals to you, and you can directly spawn troops for support. Consider it hiring your soldiers. My people are there, and they'll follow his command."
"Huh?"
Li Siya was still in a daze.
Chen Yu's 1000 soul crystals had already arrived.
They made her feel a bit dizzy.
Wait!
So many?
How many days has it been? How do you have so many soul crystals...?
