Lin Xiao quickly pointed his finger, and a Miracle Purification Light fell, expelling the evil energy that had invaded the ice mage's body.
But the enemy was still casting spells. With hundreds of wizards casting spells at the same time, the corruption speed was very fast, and his Miracle Purification Light had a fifteen-minute cooldown.
He quickly ordered the Astral Sorcerer to counterattack, but to his surprise, the adjutant was a Demon Sorcerer. He countered the Astral Sorcerer's counterattack and even had the energy to summon a thick green beam of light to attack the Astral Sorcerer.
"Starchaser Warlord!"
The Lord-tier archer drew an arrow that flowed with holy light, nocked it on the bow, and shot it. The Warlord didn't move his feet, only moving his upper body to avoid taking the arrow head-on. The holy fire on the arrow made the Demon Warlord roar in anger, and his hideous face twisted with a sinister smile.
"Too late!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ice mage that was being controlled suddenly opened his eyes, and a thick green light spewed out. He waved his hand, and a blizzard came down from the sky.
He had fallen!
In Lin Xiao's eyes, the ice mage's name changed from green to red, which represented the enemy. This wave of blizzard attack was his former teammate.
The blizzard only lasted for two seconds before it was interrupted by another mage, but he immediately used a large area of effect Frost Nova to freeze everyone at the entrance of the valley, and the spell was interrupted.
"F * ck! Kill him! "
Lin Xiao's heart bled, and he decisively ordered to abandon this subordinate.
There was no time to wait fifteen minutes for the purification. If they did not kill him, their overall strength would be greatly weakened under his interference.
At the order, ten thousand people gathered, and a few Lord-tier warriors pounced on the ice mage, killing him in a few hits.
The Astral Elf's talent was strong, but her HP and defense were far inferior to Big Naga's.
Fortunately, this spell of the demon wizards was a big one with a long cooldown. After forcefully corrupting the leader, it did not continue. Otherwise, he would have to consider running away.
"Kill!"
The elite demons rushed to the entrance of the fortress and fought with the warriors guarding the gate.
A snowstorm.
Rain of Fire.
Thundercloud.
Rain of Arcane Arrows.
Rain of Evil Fire.
Hellfire.
In a single instant, countless large-scale spells from the defenders, demon adepts, and demon warlocks blanketed the area, regardless of friend or foe. The battle instantly reached its climax.
Lin Xiao looked down at the battlefield from his flying mount. Every time his eyelids twitched, it meant that a subordinate had died. Every time he clenched his fist or his eyelids twitched, it meant that a commander had died.
After so many years of war, all the losses added together were not as great as today's.
For the past few years, the leader had never had any casualties, but today, his subordinates were dying one after another. His heart ached terribly.
However, these were necessary losses. It was impossible for there to be no losses when facing a Demon Division that was half led by an adjutant.
Ten minutes later, two Demon Warlords joined the battlefield, and two Lord-class warriors quickly rushed to intercept them. The battle had officially entered its most intense phase, and subordinates and Demons were dying almost every moment.
Fortunately, most of his subordinates were high-level Elites, and the Warriors were able to withstand the attacks with their thick HP. If it were other players, they would have collapsed long ago.
Lin Xiao quickly sent a message to his girlfriend. Then, he steered his flying mount higher and looked into the distance.
"He's finally here."
He sent a message to his girlfriend.
"Now is the time. Attack!"
A few minutes later, more than a dozen Two-Headed Chimeras led by the Three-Headed Chimera leader crossed the mountain range and appeared in the sky above the battlefield. From afar, nine thick streams of strong acid, flame, and frost breath were sprayed into the group of Demons. The Chimeras behind followed and sprayed out streams of breath.
The appearance of this batch of Chimeras threw the Demons into chaos. The adjutant had no choice but to mobilize a portion of the Demons to deal with them.
Ten minutes later, a large group of centaurs and ogres, led by two powerful centaur leaders and an ogre leader over ten meters tall, launched an attack from behind the demons.
The Demons were attacked from the left, right, and in the air. The adjutant of the Demon Army decisively ordered his subordinates to gather, and a huge green Teleportation Circle was formed.
A few Mages immediately cast spells to interfere, but to no avail.
Seeing that the Teleportation Circle was quickly formed and about to teleport away, the Astral Mage chanted for a few seconds, and the Astral Chain flew out and trapped the adjutant of the Demon Army, immediately interrupting the Teleportation Circle.
The adjutant roared and broke the Astral Chain, but missed the chance to escape.
The following battle was more intense than before, but Lin Xiao had already gained the upper hand, and the losses were not as great as before.
An hour later, the adjutant of the Demon Army, who was a Level 87 Lord-tier, died in battle. The remaining Demons fought like caged beasts, and in the end, they were all wiped out.
After the battle, Lin Xiao's heart ached at the huge losses.
A total of twenty-three leaders had died, nearly half of them. Three Strengthened Elites had died, and more than half of the Elites had died. All the cannon fodder had died, and more than half of the Bear Monsters had died. The most painful loss was the death of a Lord-tier Warrior.
In other words, he now had less than a hundred subordinates left.
But the fortress was successfully built, and there would be no more monsters attacking it after leveling up.
Ignoring the heartache of the losses, he quickly counted the battlefield and the spoils, and rebuilt the defenses.
Fortunately, the fortress had leveled up to Level 1, and he could exchange for NPC subordinates. He used the Demon Imprint he had accumulated to exchange for a batch of subordinates, and his manpower was back to its previous level. However, his strength was still a lot weaker than before.
After all, so many leaders and high-level Elites had died.
The ones he had just exchanged for were only Level 55, and they were much weaker than the Level 70 Demons in the appendage. He would have to slowly level up again.
A Level 1 Fortress was considered an official fortress. Lin Xiao appointed his girlfriend as the vice-commander of the fortress, and she had authority second only to him. This way, she could continue to control the fortress when he was away.
After being busy for a few days, he finally had time to look at the spoils of war. What he looked forward to the most were the spoils of war from the adjutant of the Demon Army. A Level 87 Lord-tier Boss had been killed. This was probably the highest-level Boss that the human faction had killed so far.
Fortunately, the leaders under him were all meat shields with over a million HP, and their Innate Talents were also abnormal. If it had been a normal human leader, they might not have been able to block the attacks of such a high-level Boss.
But even so, they still lost three Warriors while besieging this guy. This guy had cast several powerful Demonic Spells in succession. Among them was the ultimate move, Finger of Death, which directly killed the Lord-ranked Warrior. The ridiculously high damage directly took away millions of HP. It was a terrifying sight.
But after using the ultimate skill, the Boss had become listless. It did not have the strength to use a second round of attacks until it was killed.
But even so, a single round was already terrifying. If it had been any other player, they would have been able to kill the main force in a single round. Only Lin Xiao had five Lord-tier Bosses and over twenty Lord-tier Bosses. The Boss could not be killed in a short time.
The adjutant had dropped a total of five Purple items. Two of them were T5-tier Magic Equipment, and they were all given to his girlfriend.
The remaining items were Epic Demonic Imprint, the head of the adjutant, and a key that could open a five-man dungeon in the Purgatory Fortress.
The Epic Demonic Imprint had been exchanged for an Elven Archer.
The head of the adjutant could be exchanged for any T5-tier accessory from the Astral Financial Group.
Although the key could be used now, it did not have the ability to enter the Purgatory Fortress.
Apart from that, many powerful Demons had dropped a pile of blue and green Demonic Imprints. This time, Lin Xiao's Strengthened Elites had finally caught up to the Lord-tier Bosses. There were a total of 14 new Strengthened Elites and 84 elite subordinates. There were more than 700 cannon fodder, and he had only exchanged about 200 of them.
Apart from that, there were also hundreds of equipment and various materials of various grades. These could be converted into equipment that NPCs could use or military supplies according to the ratio.
These military supplies were a type of currency used exclusively in fortresses. Whether it was upgrading fortresses or purchasing materials from NPCs, they were all converted using this currency. Otherwise, how did players obtain so many items from NPCs? It could not be produced out of thin air.
Military supplies were divided into two types. One was the ordinary military supplies that could be converted into almost any commonly used item.
The other was the advanced military supplies that could be converted into equipment of Epic grade and above. They could also be used to upgrade Level 3 and above fortresses in the future.
The items that were not used in this battle had all been converted. In total, they had accumulated as many as 1,800 units of ordinary military supplies and 110 units of advanced military supplies.
Now that there were no players in this area, the NPC shops did not need to distribute the supplies. For the time being, they would convert a batch of NPCs' equipment for the newly summoned subordinates.
At the same time, there were two teleportation gates in the Level 1 fortress. He took out the dungeon core that he had stored previously and installed it inside. He used 100 units of advanced military supplies to activate this dungeon.
Reaching out and pressing on the dungeon light gate, Lin Xiao began to edit the dungeon.
At first, he did not determine what dungeon this dungeon core was and needed to edit it himself. However, because the dungeon core came from the Demon Barracks, he was sure that the dungeon was related to the Demon Barracks.
As he expected, after entering, he found that the basic framework of the dungeon was the Demon Barracks that he had attacked previously. It basically copied the terrain of the barracks, but there were no Demons inside. He needed to set it up himself.
The number of Demons and Bosses, as well as their levels, were determined by the 100 units of advanced military supplies.
Building a dungeon was easy, but it was also quite difficult.
If it was just a simple dungeon, it would not be difficult. He just had to follow the instructions and build it.
However, such a dungeon would definitely be a loss.
Building a dungeon in a fortress definitely could not be a loss, so he had to build it well.
Just maintaining the dungeon did not require additional supplies. It only required the gold coins, equipment, and materials that players would drop when clearing the dungeon. This would consume a certain amount of the supplies stored in the dungeon. The equipment and materials dropped in the dungeon were all converted from supplies.
In addition to the various potions that players consumed in the dungeon, it could be said that there were bound to be gains. The fortress owner who created the dungeon would lose money.
Since the fortress owner spent so much effort to create a dungeon, he definitely could not keep losing money.
Since the dungeon could not be directly profitable, he had to earn money from other aspects. The most common way was to buy potions and repair equipment. Especially when players died in the dungeon, the maintenance fees for damaged equipment were the biggest source of profit.
