21: Sword and Shield Guard

The second defensive line gained an Arrow Tower, with Death Warriors and Sword Soldiers guarding it.

"Sky Isolated Gale Blade."

Wu Song's eyes were sharp as he drew two Jie Dao from his waist.

His entire body, along with the Jie Dao in his hands, shimmered with dazzling light, and wind elements continuously gathered on the blades.

The spiritual power on his body continuously gathered on the blades, forming powerful wind vortexes that emitted sizzling sounds.

The blades trembled incessantly, and powerful and fierce spiritual power surged into them, continuously rippling out green undulations!

It spread outwards like ocean waves, one after another.

The energy emanating from the wind vortexes even caused the surrounding space to subtly twist, as if it couldn't bear the strain.

"Go!"

Wu Song said in a deep voice, directly slashing horizontally without hesitation.

The strong wind vortexes on the two Jie Dao directly left the blades, transforming into two arc-shaped whirlwind waves, about five meters long.

They flew forward separately, stirring up violent air currents wherever they passed.

The Demon Beast Flying Needles released by the Red Demon Beasts were directly repelled by the violent air currents and shattered by the two arc-shaped whirlwind waves.

Puff…

Puff…

Ah…

Dozens of screams and sounds of flesh being torn rang out consecutively.

Dozens of Red Demon Beasts were directly cut in half by these two arc-shaped whirlwind waves, falling crisscross on the ground.

In an instant, blood flowed like rivers, and flesh and blood flew everywhere, creating an extremely tragic scene.

One hundred Red Demon Beasts were mostly annihilated by Wu Song's Sky Isolated Gale Blade in the blink of an eye, suffering heavy losses.

Even if there were some stragglers, they hadn't advanced a few steps.

They heard a "whoosh" sound.

A thick, dark arrow shot from above, directly piercing the Red Demon Beast's chest.

The Arrow Tower instantly executed this straggler, without even needing the Death Warriors and Sword Soldiers to act.

…

The same was true for the south, guarded by Gao Shun, facing dense Demon Beast Flying Needles.

He directly released his spiritual skills: Unyielding Will and Fearless Charge.

Like entering an uninhabited land, he unleashed a massacre.

Even if there were stragglers, they would be shot through by the Arrow Tower, arrow by arrow.

Again, not even the Death Warriors and Sword Soldiers needed to act.

…

As for the thirty Death Warriors in the north, they formed triangular formations in groups of three.

They mutually supported each other, with clear division of labor and seamless coordination.

Like sharp knives, they charged into the Red Demon Beasts.

Facing the Spirit Warrior Sixth Order Death Warriors, the Ling Shi Third Order Red Demon Beasts' strength was simply not enough.

It was a naked slaughter.

Even if there were a few stragglers, they hadn't advanced a few steps.

They heard a "boom" sound.

An explosion rang out.

Those few Red Demon Beasts were instantly blown to ashes, leaving no bones behind.

The cannon tower's power was even greater than the Arrow Tower's, and it also dealt area-of-effect damage.

It was terrifying.

…

In less than five minutes, one hundred Red Demon Beasts from each direction, a total of four hundred.

All were slaughtered, and aside from a few minor injuries among the thirty Death Warriors.

Not a single person was killed on the entire field; it was a complete victory.

The Red Demon Beast corpses that were originally scattered on the ground all turned into specks of light and disappeared.

Only white light clusters floated above.

Yang Qianhun counted them; there were roughly one hundred Red Demon Beasts in each direction.

This meant that in this battle, a total of four hundred Red Demon Beasts were eliminated, dropping four hundred treasure light clusters.

The black fog around also gradually faded and disappeared.

This indicated that the first territory defense battle had ended.

Yang Qianhun's territory defense difficulty was the highest, but in the face of his powerful strength.

These Demon Beasts still couldn't do anything to him, only becoming walking treasure light clusters.

Subsequently, Yang Qianhun ordered the eight injured Death Warriors to go to the wooden house to recover from their injuries and released twenty Farmers.

They continued to collect resources.

Iron: 2 people

wood: 8 people

food: 2 people

Stone: 8 people

Wu Song continued to arrange the training of Sword Soldiers, and Gao Shun remained in charge of leading the Death Warriors and guarding the safety of the territory and Farmers.

After the arrangements were complete, it was also a good time to try out the new spiritual skill: Telekinetic Pickup.

Yang Qianhun scanned the surroundings, and wherever his gaze fell.

With a thought, all the treasures disappeared, directly collected into his spatial package.

However, due to picking up too many treasures, it consumed a lot of his spiritual power.

The items obtained are as follows:

220 Spirit Stones, 110 iron ores, 70 food.

Suddenly, Yang Qianhun seemed to have a premonition and extended his right hand.

The next second, a flash of light, and a treasure map appeared in his hand.

[battlefield codex Record: Surviving lords can receive daily rewards from the heavenly dao: one treasure map for Spirit Warrior, two for Spirit Practitioner, three for Spirit Master… and so on.]

"It's not far."

Yang Qianhun looked at the location on the treasure map and said with satisfaction.

Then he put it into his spatial package.

The next second, the heavenly dao's announcement once again resounded in everyone's minds.

[Heavenly Dao Announcement: The first defense battle will be ranked and rewarded based on lord difficulty, completion time, and so on.]

[Heavenly Dao Announcement: The first place in the first defense battle is Yang Qianhun, rewarded with one heavenly dao roulette spin and one Rare grade treasure chest.]

[Heavenly Dao Announcement: The second place in the first defense battle is Mad Lion, rewarded with one heavenly dao roulette spin and one Advanced Grade treasure chest.]

[Heavenly Dao Announcement: The third place in the first defense battle is Dadar, rewarded with one heavenly dao roulette spin and one Advanced Grade treasure chest.]

[Heavenly Dao Announcement: The fourth place in the first defense battle is Dragon Man Zhen Yi, rewarded with one heavenly dao roulette spin and one Advanced Grade treasure chest.]

[Heavenly Dao Announcement: The fifth place in the first defense battle is Wilbur Smith, rewarded with one heavenly dao roulette spin and one Advanced Grade treasure chest.]

…

Only the top one hundred received rewards. Second place and tenth place were the same, while eleventh place to fiftieth place received one heavenly dao roulette spin and one ordinary treasure chest.

Fifty-first place to one hundredth place received: one heavenly dao roulette spin.

[Heavenly Dao Announcement: In 72 hours, the second territory defense battle will commence. Resist the Demon Beast attack. All lords, please strive to develop.]

As soon as the words fell, Yang Qianhun seemed to have another premonition and extended his right hand.

The next second, a flash of light, and a purple treasure chest appeared in his hand.

Then it slowly opened, turning into specks of light and disappearing.

A purple soldier token appeared in his hand, on which four large characters were clearly written: Sword and Shield Guards.

[Name: Sword and Shield Guards]

[Quality: Rare grade]

[Type: Troop]

[Effect: Can unlock Sword and Shield Guards, recruit from Barracks.]

[Description: Sword and Shield Guards has high defense, slightly slow movement speed, and decent attack power. They are good at taunting enemies and covering teammates, an indispensable troop type for large-scale army operations. Recruitment conditions: fifty iron, fifty food, ten spirit stones.]

After looking at it, it was indeed strong, and also indeed expensive. One could only say you get what you pay for.

Yang Qianhun activated it with a thought.

Sure enough, in addition to Sword Soldiers, a Sword and Shield Guards option appeared in the Barracks.

He directly clicked to recruit: four Sword and Shield Guardss.

Cost: 200 iron, 200 food, 40 spirit stones.

The iron and food were completely used up, and 360 spirit stones remained.

A flash of light passed through the Barracks gate, and a Soldier wearing purple armor, holding a large shield in his left hand and a sword in his right, walked out.

He was tall and mighty, exuding an aura of decisive killing.

In less than a minute, four Sword and Shield Guardss walked neatly in front of Yang Qianhun.

They said in unison: "Greetings, Lord."
