Chapter 151: Three Powers

The town protection array is actually blocked by the system. Zach quickly came up with one of his Thunder Punishment Formations, much to his dismay, no matter what he did, these were like lifeless marbles.

"What a merciless paradise," Ogras muttered with a mocking grin. "I think we're going to have to get our hands dirty. ”

Zach began to wonder if the system would actually incur resentment. At first, when he was stranded alone on the island, he had already cursed many times. Is it now retaliating by increasing the difficulty to an unreasonable level? Or is it trying to suppress him because he is not a farmer?

Either way, the sight in front of you is trouble. He is now fighting not with one army, but with three. What's more, this time he was sent to fight against the forces of intelligence. The wolves are somewhat easy to deal with because they are mute beasts, but the same cannot be said of the actual invading forces.

They will organize armies and use tactics to defeat him. He was convinced that the system provided them with some fairly good incentives, so there was no diplomatic solution. He didn't think it was possible.

Zach hesitated for a moment and said, "I think we should charge and catch them without knowing it." ”。

He didn't want them to attack the wall, because there wasn't any array to protect it right now, and that wouldn't be able to provide protection. It may be able to deal with mute beasts, but for an army of high-level warriors, it's just a small diversion.

"It is impossible for them not to know, quite the opposite. They should be given enough advance warning and even a chance to accept or refuse the task," Ogras disagreed.

"We should scout out what they're capable of. There are some differences between a pillar and a normal intrusion. They are smaller. I think their power should be limited," the demon added. "If they had complete confidence to beat us, they would have rushed in long ago. The fact that they are acting safely tells us something.

Zach was startled and looked at the three pillars again. They feel like they are sparkling in the distance. However, Zach has to admit that they are much smaller than those who have demons. That red pillar stretched all the way into the sky, making it clearly visible even from the other side of the island. It was evident that when the demon saw the closest heaven, it felt the closest red light.

The pillars are huge, but not to that extent. They are many times taller than the El Hive, but that's about it. Zach didn't know what that meant, but the size of the pillar was indicative of the difficulty of the wolf wave. The pillar that passed through the demon wolf was a little larger than the previous one.

"So we're just standing here waiting, too passive," Zach frowned impatiently. He didn't want the invaders to wreak havoc on his island. Who knows what kind of mess it will cause when they stay on the wall like turtles.

"Yes, but sometimes we need to waste time to save time. We can send a couple of scouts to check it out. I even went on my own. But we shouldn't go against them until we know about their relationship. Who knows, they might even get into a fight. The undead forces are notoriously reluctant to cooperate with almost any other force, and they may simply attack others before turning their attention to us. ”

Zach thought for a moment and nodded. While it sounds unbelievable, it may be true. The goal of these troops should be to kill him, and he can only die once, which means that only one unit will be rewarded. Perhaps they will even succumb to infighting and kill him for the sake of honor, if they feel that he is easy to deal with.

Besides, it's not a good idea to rush in like a bargain guy. Who knows what cards these people have hidden in their sleeves. He didn't even know what the two invasions belonged to. Gathering intelligence first is probably the wisest thing to do.

They had been standing by the wall for a few minutes, still without any activity. Unfortunately, the intrusion was too far away because the leaves blocked the view, and they could not see their own power.

"Good, let's gather some intelligence," said Zack, who was upset by the inaction.

He almost wished for a horde of intruders to rush through the forest, screaming and brandishing their weapons. A frontal attack is dangerous, but it's also easy to deal with. He just needs to take out the axe and go crazy. Now he doesn't know what to do or what to expect.

Ogras nodded and disappeared into the shadows. Soon after, Zach saw some figures blend into the forest, moving towards the pillar of light. Now most demons sit down with their eyes closed, patiently waiting for the outbreak to erupt. Zach had to stop his pace and strength because he didn't want to show how uneasy the situation he was.

He's already defeated an invasion, but that's different. First of all, he learned that when it comes to the power of the invading group, the Azrezak family is far weaker than the average person. Normally, the opportunity is snatched up by a more powerful force, but Azrezak managed to seize it because of some turmoil in their area.

Secondly, he used guerrilla tactics against demons, and they didn't know his identity until the end. In the end, the war with the monkey provided him with a stage, and he was lucky to win.

Now it's different, he's an open defender, at least the undead are a formidable force.

He turned on his task screen and took his attention off the matter. As mentioned earlier, his quests and rewards have been updated, and he wants to see what he gets.

Invasion Master (Unique): Shut down or conquer the invasion and protect the town from the inhabitants or other faction forces for 3 months. Rewards: Towns are upgraded to Global Cities and their status is upgraded to Lords according to the level restriction structure. The road to hegemony is open. (23)

There are some differences compared to the previous ones, and some are more noticeable than others. This description goes from just referring to the inhabitants to "inhabitants or troops", which makes a lot of sense, since Ogras has told him that the inhabitants refer to the beasts.

The rewards have also changed. The paltry Crystal 5 had been replaced with a finite structure, which Zach guessed was similar to what he had when he got the Creator's Shipyard, but with a slightly different wording.

His town will also be upgraded to a global city, not a city. As the earlier tip mentioned world leaders, he almost thought that the second port, Atwood, would be the capital. However, this does not seem to be the case. He doesn't know the difference between a city and a global city, except to guess that the latter is better.

There is finally a path to hegemony. He didn't know what that meant, but he sensed it was probably the most important one. He wasn't sure whether to ask Ogras about it or keep it a secret, so he put the matter on hold for now. He needs to destroy these three invasions to make sense.

It was almost twenty minutes before Ogras returned, during which time Zach grew impatient.

"There are many enemies," Ogras said with a frown. "It's a veritable sea of zombies, tens of thousands. There are also deformed and corpse puppets three to four meters long. Unfortunately, the tribe seems to have a lich or corpse master. Otherwise, they would now unconsciously rush at us, feeling our life force. ”

Aberrations are naturally occurring dead creatures in ominous lands, often a mixture of various species and corpses. None of them look the same because they are essentially random errors of the universe. They are characterized by extreme stamina, even against the undead.

Corpse golems are somewhat similar, although they are built rather than formed. Necromancers or lichs create them from a group of cultivators to fulfill their purposes. Usually they are quite large, and a group of people merge.

The higher the skill of the Creator, the more creatures he or she can add to the monster, making it more powerful. Its height is usually used to measure its power, and golems over 5 meters are usually E-rated or above.

"There aren't as many other forces, although their warriors are usually much more powerful than zombies. The master of the Black Gate is a force I don't know. They are either a puppet species or something related to rocks. It's hard to tell. They are completely pitch black and emit a cold glow. They seem to have extraordinary insight, as they killed the scout we sent before they even approached," the demon continued.

"The last force is only about a thousand people, and they may actually be more annoying than the undead. They are fools of the Church of the Eternal Word. I bet they are stronger on average compared to our own troops," Ogras said with a sigh.

Zach groaned when he learned who had invaded last time. The Coopers are the madmen of those newly integrated planets in order to wipe out all life. They believe that while this system is forced to constantly integrate new worlds, every time it does so, it consumes vital energy and harms itself. This, in turn, prevents the development of the system itself and the multiverse.

In order to reach nirvana or whatever they try to kill as many people as possible in order to release more energy for the system. The general consensus on this belief is that this is either complete idiocy or a front for the church elite to put the wealth of its victims in its pockets.

Whichever case is true, it doesn't help Zach because he is suddenly trapped on the island by a group of fanatics. Also, if another invasion is a notoriously annoying undead empire and another is run by a crazed inquisitor, then a third mysterious invasion may not be good news either.

"So what are we going to do?" Zach asked.

"They're having a meeting at the place of the Rock Man. Now, we hope they can have a fight and do our job for us. ”

Zach nodded, but didn't feel too promising. He can only be vigilant among everyone. Soon, the last hope of an outbreak of infighting was dashed as an army approached the city walls.

Zach understood what Ogras meant by rock 'n' roll, because he didn't know what they looked like either. They are about two meters tall, and Zach can't make out any features because they are unnaturally black. Zach pondered for a moment if they all had some kind of racial skill that kept them in the dark, but when he pulled out the axe, he put the question behind him.

As the army approached, the ground shook and the rock people magically dug boulders out of the ground and began to hover above their army, creating a nice image. When sentient beings approach, the rudimentary traps on the battlefield are almost useless to them.

Around the approaching ranks, the air was filled with power, and even Ogras's smile had long since faded as he watched their enemies.

Bishop Osika leisurely walked back to his camp and glanced at the Yrd Stone Man army as they prepared for battle.

It's an annoying discovery, and they're not the only ones who have been blessed by the boundless firmament, but they're sharing it with two other groups. This situation has clearly messed up what should have been a great opportunity to make money.

This is quite convenient, at least one of which belongs to some weak backwater group. They will make great sacrifices for this grand plan, delight the fanatics and unearth the power of this monarchical candidate in the process.

This is the Third World, and Oxikas, together with his fellow bishops, is in charge of purification and disposal, which is why he was chosen to be the head of this particular mission, while his brothers continue their activities at their main base. But it was the first time he had heard of someone dying so early in order to receive such a blessing. The selection of a monarch usually comes after more than a year.

Finding the undead scum right here is also quite a headache. Whenever the church encounters those bastards, there is always a bloody battle for the high-potential corpses. Losses increase and profits fall.

At least he's not dealing with a real lich, but a zombie lord. While neither is easy to deal with, the Lich is almost immortal from certain types of attacks. They had proper purification units that were specially trained to fight the undead on various fronts, but Oxikas didn't bring any of them, as he expected to face humans or one of the other three species on this new planet here.

To make matters worse, the corpse owner appears to be a nobleman. He even doubted whether he was an opponent. Despite this, he still has a full army of combat monks, which if it really gets to that point, it will be enough to destroy the undead force.

Oxikas stroked his mace firmly. He won't let this one go, even if he has to fight against an undead nobleman, because he will get a lot of bonuses. Not only the reward from the boundless firmament, but the reward he received from the church for the purchase of such high-grade materials.

A person who is already a candidate for the monarchy will have to become the main sample for the creation of high-class ships. The demand for the human body has also been high, as many power plants have opted for vessels of the same kind as their original bodies.

Oxicas never understood this mentality. Those old goats have lived for tens of thousands of years, but they haven't eaten enough. Instead, they chose to discard their mortal coils for a vessel in the church, even if it meant retraining their bodies.

Oxikas did not complain, because it was this business that allowed him to reach the heights he had always dreamed of, with a clear path to becoming a C-rank cardinal. At the same time, he was able to make a lot of money in the body search business.

Because to live is to fight, so business is always booming.
