Chapter 19 Then I'll Leave
"Saber-toothed tiger?"
Wang Jue's mind raced. Hearing Bandehu shout, he immediately guessed what was going on, but asked, "Is Saber-toothed Tiger your brother's name, or is it the ancient troop type Saber-toothed Tiger?"
"Of course it's the latter, there are two!"
Bandhu was still somewhat shaken and said, "They chased me for hundreds of meters! It scared the hell out of me! That little wench looked harmless, but she's really ruthless; she just unleashed a tiger to bite people!"
Wang Jue frowned, but said nothing more.
We need to deal with the murloc invasion first before we can worry about things outside.
Anyway, the automatic apple tree and the simple shack are both in the small courtyard, so there's nothing outside to lose.
At this moment, the mysterious scarecrow began to whip its long tentacles, lashing out at the large fish-men climbing the wall.
The Mysterious Scarecrow has an attack range of three meters and its attack power is not particularly high, not as good as the Mad Dog King's one-hit kill, but it still looks quite fierce. At least it can whip down the big fishman on the wall with one lash.
A moment later, another section of the wall collapsed, and the merman, carrying a trident, squeezed through the gap.
Mad Dog King immediately confronted him with a knife.
"Chop the meat!"
"Big windmill!"
"Wind and Fire Wheels!"
Amidst shouts, Mad Dog King displayed his might, unleashing a deadly flurry of flaming blades that directly overwhelmed the merman leader, forcing him back outside the courtyard. Mad Dog King seized the opportunity to break out of the courtyard, shifting from a defensive stance to an offensive one.
Mad Dog King's fighting style is characterized by bravery, ruthlessness, and direct confrontation. If Wang Jue does not interfere, he will fight in his own way, and he is capable of charging into battle alone.
"return!"
Wang Jue called out.
"Take advantage of the terrain, kill them slowly, no rush!"
Wang Jue clearly preferred that Mad Dog King fight in the courtyard. He was cautious by nature and sought to minimize losses and avoid risks as much as possible.
Mad Dog King was very obedient. After slashing the fishman leader a few times, he returned to the courtyard and blocked the gap in the wall.
The merman leader stepped forward again, and Mad Dog King engaged him in another passionate battle.
After a short while, Mad Dog King finally managed to cut down the merman leader and unleash the Deep Sea Trident.
Wang Jue happily put away the Deep Sea Trident, thinking to himself that in the end, the top-tier martial arts masters were still stronger. Even though they were both three-star heroes, the Trident was still far superior to the Fishman leader.
Despite his minor injuries, Mad Dog King remained on the front lines, still blocking the breach in the wall.
There is also a two-star hero-level Murloc Warlock in the Murloc army.
This is a ranged unit that can spit water bullets from its mouth. It has high attack but weak defense and slow movement. Once it gets close, it becomes a sitting duck. Mad Dog King rushed out of the courtyard and killed it with a few slashes.
The ensuing battle was largely predictable. Wang Jue recalled Mad Dog King and used hemostatic powder and wound medicine to treat his injuries, while Li Jason and Nian Xika took over the battlefield.
The mysterious scarecrow is also a formidable force, with combat power roughly equivalent to that of a first or second grade elementary school student. The giant fishman simply cannot get close to him.
Moments later, the invading murlocs were all killed, and the murloc army's third attack came to an end.
"Ding! Successfully repelled the third attack of the merman army. Mission complete. Reward: 100 food, 200 soul power, and one beginner surrender token."
"Ding! You can choose one of the following randomly generated rewards..."
"Optional Reward 1: Blueprint for building a small mine. After use, build a small mine at the designated location in your territory. After construction, the territory's resource attribute will increase by 5 and industrial attribute by 1. One or two types of metal ore products will be randomly generated. You need to send personnel to collect them. Please explore on your own to find out more."
"Optional Reward Two: Blueprint for the construction of the Illusionary Wood Forest. After use, a Illusionary Wood Forest will be built at a designated location in the territory. After construction, the territory's resource attribute will increase by 9, industrial attribute by 1, and economic attribute by 1. The Illusionary Wood Forest can produce medicinal plants such as hemostatic herbs and Ganoderma lucidum, as well as herbal food or cash crops. Personnel need to be dispatched to collect them. Please explore on your own for details."
"New mission unlocked: Accumulate 10,000 Star Coins. Mission completion rewards include 100 Star Coins, 100 Food, 200 Soul Power, one self-selected technology building, and unlocks subsequent missions."
A reward selection window popped up in front of Wang Jue.
He was startled!
It seems like a top-tier building has been created!
"Resource attributes +9, and industrial and economic attributes +1 too, that sounds amazing!"
Wang Jue calmly chose the [Building Blueprints for the Illusionary Wood Forest] as his reward, but he was in no hurry to build the Illusionary Wood Forest. Instead, he took out the [Beginner Surrender Token] that the system had just rewarded him with.
[Basic Surrender Token: A functional item that has a chance to recruit a specified enemy unit. It can recruit up to three-star units. The success rate depends on the target's status, loyalty, and the environment. Please explore the details yourself.]
"It's a pretty good item. If we had gotten it sooner, we might have been able to recruit the merman leader!"
Wang Jue put away the token, then walked out through the gap in the wall. His eyes swept around and he quickly spotted Meng Tata and her two three-star ancient sequence saber-toothed tigers.
"Judging from her appearance, she's probably up to no good. Those two saber-toothed tigers are quite intimidating. If she attacks..."
Wang Jue actually wanted Mad Dog King and Saber-toothed Tiger to fight. It would be like a battle between two dimensions, and Wang Jue was very curious about how the two would fare.
Of course, Wang Jue is referring to a one-on-one fight. If it were two saber-toothed tigers fighting Mad Dog King, Wang Jue would still be in a tough spot.
On the other side, Montata did not take any action. She just watched quietly from a distance, clearly also wary.
Wang Jue led his men forward, and when they were about thirty or forty meters away from Mengta Tower, he stopped and shouted, "Private territory, uninvited guests, what do you want, young lady?"
Mengtata's attention was mainly focused on Mad Dog King; she had been assessing his fighting strength. Hearing Wang Jue's words, she smiled brightly and said, "I was just taking a stroll. What, brother, aren't you welcome?"
Wang Jue asked, "What's your name?"
Mengtata said, "Gu Dali!"
"Are you Gu Dali?"
"That's right! My territory is the Fire Dragon Kingdom, and I am its king! May I ask your name, brother?"
"Oh, I am Zhao Xuanlong, known as the Kiwi God of War!"
"Kiwi God of War? Hehehehe..."
Montata laughed with a silvery sound.
Wang Jue's expression was serious.
He knew that Montata wasn't telling the truth.
He also borrowed the name Zhao Xuanlong from the chat channel. He and Gu Dali were quite active in the chat channel and could be called the two kings of spamming.
Montata laughed for a while, then said, "Shall I leave?"
Wang Jue said, "If you're not leaving now, then don't bother leaving at all!"
"My brother is so aggressive, it's boring!"
Mengta narrowed her eyes, and a two-meter-high archway of light appeared out of thin air in front of her.
She used the [Gate of Stars] again.
Suddenly, Bandhu said, "We can't let her go! He just unleashed a tiger to bite me. If you hadn't teleported me away at the crucial moment, Scarecrow and I might be finished!"
Upon hearing this, Montata smiled and said, "Actually, I'm a little reluctant to leave like this!"
As they were speaking, the two saber-toothed tigers beside Mengta suddenly roared and charged toward Wang Jue.
"You really dare to make a move?"
Wang Jue's expression turned cold. Without his command, Mad Dog King had already shouted his lines, raised his twin swords, and stepped in front of Wang Jue.
Along with Jason the Carp, Sika the Catfish, and 19 old beggars, they all rushed forward at once.
Wang Jue suddenly shouted at Bandehu, "Bandehu, do it!"
As he spoke, he activated the Mysterious Scarecrow's teleportation ability, instantly moving it next to Dream Tower.
"what?"
Bandhu didn't react in time, his expression blank and somewhat dizzy. However, the mysterious scarecrow had independent consciousness, and the moment the teleportation was completed, it had already lashed out its long whip tentacles at Mengtata.
Two snapping sounds.
Montata was struck squarely in the face by the long black whip.
"what!"
She cried out in pain, her beautiful face instantly contorted in agony. Her reaction was quick; she immediately ran into the brightly lit archway.
As soon as he stepped through the bright archway, Montata's figure vanished, and the mysterious scarecrow's second attack missed.
Bandhu was still somewhat stunned. Looking at the brightly lit archway, he said, "Hmm, that was a good move. I could have ambushed her like an assassin. Too bad the little wench was too slippery; she managed to get away!"
At this moment, the two saber-toothed tigers paused, showing a moment of confusion, before turning around and trying to run towards the bright archway. However, Mad Dog King, Carp Jason, Catfish Sika, and 19 old beggars rushed up and surrounded them.
