Free Web NovelChapter 330: Chapter 257: Territory Upgrade, A Hundred-Li Radius
The attacks from the two Piano Demons were especially vicious. By playing their zithers, they could launch Qi Blades several meters wide, slicing through swaths of shield-bearing infantry a hundred meters away.
On the city wall stood a High-level King, an Evil God. This Evil God had a peculiar fighting style; its attacks looked like the cheap special effects from an 80s or 90s Hong Kong movie. Raising its hand, it unleashed a series of Golden Light Palm Seals. The palm seals flew into the sky, moving with a jerky, frame-skipping motion and radiating a golden light, almost as if they were shooting lightning, sending dirt flying with every blast.
By now, heavily armored cavalry had begun emerging from the Void Rift. They charged forward, but their heavy armor seemed to be made of paper-mâché, offering no defensive effect whatsoever. Some were blasted to pieces instantly, while others were sliced in two, horse and all. The scene was brutal.
The Eastern Depot’s Duke, Hai Zhongxian, stood atop the gatehouse, his eyes narrowed and his gaze sharp. He had yet to make a move.
’Three High-level Kings, plus a Hai Zhongxian who can make ghosts weep and gods cry. The defense on this side is even more solid!’
Wang Yi watched the battle for a moment before heading north. Soon, he saw the 2,000 Celestial Eagle Warriors in combat.
The Celestial Eagle Warriors were the main force on the northern front. They flew through the sky like Celestial Soldiers and Generals, raising their spears to activate their skills. Their weapons unleashed arrow-like bolts of lightning, and any invader emerging from the Void Rift was killed the instant it appeared, not even surviving for a second.
Most of the Celestial Eagle Warriors didn’t even get a chance to attack.
Wang Yi saw a Steam Tank appear from the Void Rift. It was a size larger than the armored off-road vehicles from the World of Suffering and looked very sturdy. But before he could get a clear look at it, a volley of lightning bolts blew it to pieces.
’The south side is a melee brawl, the east is a long-range bombardment, and here... it’s practically annihilation. There aren’t even enough mobs spawning to kill!’
As Wang Yi watched the battle on the northern front, he felt like he was playing a tower defense game where the invading mobs were instantly killed the moment they appeared.
’Two thousand ranged Kings... So terrifyingly powerful!’
Wang Yi sighed in amazement and then headed west.
Defending the west were the Western Depot Brocade Guards. Magnificently dressed, they had gone outside the city to meet the enemy, and they too were crushing their opponents with ease.
Here, Wang Yi saw a Steam Tank get sliced into pieces. For Martial God Feng Yuxiu and Martial Saint Feng Yuxiu, there was nothing they couldn’t cut through.
By now, Dragon Eagle Knights and Griffin Knights were emerging from the Void Rift.
The Dragon Eagle Knights rode on dragon eagles, and the Griffin Knights on griffins. They were two types of aerial soldiers with ranged attack capabilities.
It would have been better if they hadn’t appeared. The moment they did, the Celestial Eagle Race warriors, who were in charge of air defense, took action. Streaks of lightning shot across the sky, easily blasting the Dragon Eagle Knights and Griffin Knights out of the air or killing them outright.
A few moments later, Medical Priests and Support Witches appeared from the Void Rift, but they had no chance to heal or provide support because their allies were dying far too quickly.
Of course, they died just as quickly. Their defenses couldn’t even compare to the shield-bearing infantry, and they were swiftly eliminated by the Western Depot Brocade Guards.
’This is a completely one-sided slaughter, and my forces are still holding back. This wave of the Void invasion is hardly worth watching!’
As Wang Yi mulled this over, he watched the battle west of Eggshell City for a little longer and finally spotted a hero.
He was a burly man with a thick beard, clad in golden armor and wielding a long-handled warhammer. His body was enveloped in a golden orb of light. He swung his warhammer at the nearby Brocade Guards with wide, powerful moves, but he couldn’t even touch the hem of their robes.
However, the Brocade Guards’ attacks were also ineffective against him. The golden light surrounding his body provided a powerful defense, preventing their swords and sabers from getting anywhere near him.

Wang Yi saw the invading hero’s information. He knew the Holy Light Knight had activated his [Divine Shield] skill, which was why he appeared invulnerable to all weapons and magic.
’He’s activated his invincibility! But it can’t last forever. Skills always have a cooldown...’
Just as Wang Yi was thinking this, he suddenly saw the Holy Light Knight stand still. A Magic Array Map quickly appeared beneath him, and with a flash of white light, a white-robed mage materialized in front of the Knight.
The moment the white-robed mage appeared, he immediately raised his Magic Staff and swiftly summoned a humanoid water monster before him. freёwebnovel.com

’Huh? A hero teleported in from somewhere? What’s the point? Isn’t he just here to die?’
Wang Yi’s curiosity was piqued.
The next moment, the white-robed mage who had just teleported in was mercilessly cut down by Martial God Feng Yuxiu.
Meanwhile, the Holy Light Knight’s [Holy Light Shield] disappeared. He raised his warhammer to attack Martial God Feng Yuxiu, but Feng Yuxiu’s attack had zero startup frames. The Holy Light Knight had barely raised his warhammer when his body was sliced to pieces.
Half an hour later, west of Eggshell City, no more invaders emerged from the Void Rift. The invaders on this front had been completely wiped out. From beginning to end, not a single one—not even the Dragon Eagle Knights or Griffin Knights—had managed to enter Shanhai Pass!
Five minutes later, Wang Yi received a system notification. "DING! All invaders have been eliminated, ending the fifth wave of the Void invasion ahead of schedule. Congratulations on achieving a perfect defense! You have been awarded a bonus of 1,000 Gold Coins, one Middle Grade Chaos Crystal Stone, one Blue Chaos Blind Box, and one Blue Chaos Egg. The items have been placed in a Treasure Chest and automatically delivered to your Chaos Warehouse!"
"DING! The fifth wave of the Void invasion has ended. Invader corpses will now despawn, generating dropped Treasure Chests!"
