Tower defense games are classified as a strategy branch of the game, so their design ideas are important.

——Excerpt from "Essays of Ling Zikai"

Deadwood Guards, Little Fairies, Woodpeckers, Badgers...... All kinds of creatures living in the forest, due to the anger of the old trees, go berserk, and will attack the target in front of them indiscriminately. Of course, the so-called indiscriminate is still the main attack on the player's troops!

Although these stragglers' occasional sneak attacks did not cause much damage to the nine heroes of the casual guild, they slowed down the overall marching speed.

The nine heroes immediately dispersed, each exploring one direction...... The NPC mercenaries who stole the Heart of the Tree were soon found.

According to the method used by Ayaki when she did a similar task, instead of attacking these NPC mercenaries, the random guild members came over to converge to help them resist the sneak attack of the forest creatures and escort them...... Eventually, the NPC mercenaries were able to reach the edge of the forest with zero casualties. A system animation is triggered.

In the system animation, the NPC mercenaries are grateful for the escort of the random guild members all the way, and give a mercenary regiment medal with an ugly crocodile head emblem, which can be used as a token of the founding of the country.

When the system animation ends, the NPC mercenaries begin to move towards the map node located at the edge of the map. A map node is a unique portal for NPCs to leave the current map, and when they reach it, they will completely disappear from the quest scene.

And the casual guild members who took the mercenary medal with the crocodile head emblem immediately launched an attack on the NPC mercenaries who had been de-formed while the NPC mercenaries were moving towards the map nodes......

Wiped out all the NPC mercenaries and unleashed two loot. In addition to obtaining the Heart of the Tree, the core quest item of this quest scenario, you will also receive an egg that hatches the Crocodile Hero pet.

After retrieving the Heart of the Tree, the casual guild members withstood the sneak attack of the frenzied forest creatures, searching for each tree one by one, and finally sent the Heart of the Tree back to the old tree mentioned in the quest prompt.

The old tree got back the heart of the tree and was successfully promoted to the tree spirit, and at the same time, the creatures in the forest were successfully relieved of the frenzied state brought about by the anger of the old tree.

The reward given by the old tree promoted to the tree spirit is a seed, and it can also be used as a token of the founding of the country.

Complete the fourth founding mission, return to the cloud-shrouded space where the nine gates of different dimensions are located, and a system prompt pops up in front of the ridge.

System Prompt: As a result of this round of missions, two items can be obtained as a token of nationhood. Please choose the Order of the Serrated Crocodile or the Seed of the Forest as a token of the founding of the country.

Ryiko glanced at Ayaki, and then chose the Forest Seed, which was sure to be related to the Barrier Camp, as the fourth token of the founding of the country. And the Order of the Serrated Crocodile did not disappear with the choice of the prism. The Sawtooth Medal landed in the Founding Mission Backpack along with the wild nest of the three East Marsh Giant Frogs and the terrain of the Gourd Valley. After the success of this nation, it can be obtained as a side reward.

Four of the nine gates of different dimensions have been completed, and the nine heroes of the random guild have entered the next portal "Test of Wisdom" together.

……

The terrain of the "Test of Wisdom" mission scene is the alpine snow of the tower camp.

Just like the previous quest scene of the dungeon camp, after entering the quest scene, there is no immediate pop-up of the quest prompt, but a human NPC wearing a golden silk mage robe and a gray beard stands in the middle of the snow. Triggers a system dialog when approached.

The human NPC with a white beard wearing a golden silk mage robe spoke: "The secret of magic is as bright as a galaxy. However, the world often judges the quality of magic by its destructive power! What a mistake! I'm Razak, and I'm asking you to prove your knowledge of magic by passing my 'Test of Wisdom'!" ”

After NPC Razak finished speaking, there was no special test prompt like the mission of the dungeon camp, and the nine heroes of the guild were directly teleported into a battle space.

This combat space is unique, the length of the battlefield is 15 miles of agile movement, and it is made up of nine straight passages side by side. On the left side of the battlefield, there is only one hero, and that is Razak. In front of him were nine buildings that resembled manufacturing plants, each corresponding to a passageway.

The defender on the right side of the battlefield is the nine heroes of the casual guild, each facing a passage, but there are no troops, and they are brought into the battle space.

NPC mage Razak spoke again: "This is my test battlefield!" In the factories in front of me, one class is created at the beginning of each turn, which can be a magical war puppet class like the Stone Man, Iron Man, Gold Man, or even the Diamond Man, or it can be a Golem class like the Gargoyles and Obsidian! Each of you has a magic cannon with a fixed damage of 20 points in front of you, and you can fire one shot per turn, and the hero whose magic cannon is attacked will be eliminated! Each of your heroes starts each turn with three random magic scrolls in front of them, and you can choose one. Each hero can only use one magic scroll per turn, and can use magic that you have already learned once, and of course, it costs you your own mana to use it. The more rounds you stick to, the bigger the rewards. Let's start this 'test of wisdom'! ”

After the NPC mage finished speaking, in front of the nine manufacturing factories opposite, nine single stone puppets were refreshed at the same time, marking the official start of the "Test of Wisdom"!

……

The three magic scrolls in front of the first round of prism are magic arrows with 20 damage, exorcism to clear status magic effects, and sluggishness to reduce agility by 1 per target. Everyone else's magic scrolls are similar, they all have this magic arrow with 20 damage!

The HP of the stone puppet is 30, and the agility is extremely low, only 3, which is the weakest class in the course of this mission!

The biggest feature of the magic puppet class is that in terms of damage reduction for attack magic, the stone puppet has reduced attack magic damage by 50%! After the damage of a magic cannon, there is still 10 HP left, and the magic arrow with exactly 20 damage is taken away directly after the damage is reduced!

In the second round, a gargoyle appeared, with only 16 HP, which is better than a flying class, and its agility is higher than that of the magic war puppet class, and it can attack the defender's magic cannon in three actions!

In the second round, you don't even need a magic scroll, and you can solve it with a single magic cannon......

This "test of wisdom" battle mode belongs to the tower defense game, in fact, if every round, each hero can be like the first two rounds, to solve the refreshed troops, you can stick to it indefinitely!

The class of the third round has been refreshed, and it is the promotion form of the stone puppeteer, the iron man......
