Chapter 411 Monster Siege (3)_2
```
"Phantom King, send over a dozen Shadow Souls through the four portals to scout."
"At your command, Master!"
Mo Qingchen wanted to find out what lay beyond these four portals.
Was there an unending supply of troops on the other side?
Was there a powerful BOSS hidden, like that Legendary BOSS in Area No. 10086?
Zi had prepared an excellent ace up the sleeve for this big BOSS, just waiting for it to show up.
The reason he didn't send the Spectral Dragons was that these beasts were too large. Once they passed through, they'd be obvious targets.
Resurrecting these big skeletons required dragon bones, and he hadn't encountered any Dragon Tombs in the Sea of Realms yet, so acquiring large amounts of dragon bones wasn't possible for the moment.
Unfortunately, Sub-dragons' bones couldn't be used, otherwise, he would hunt down and kill several.
As time passed, Wan Xing and the others concluded their sacrificial summoning.
Ten thousand Crusader Warriors and twenty thousand Archers, clad in meager clothing and standing in formation, looked somewhat shabby.
After all, the human innate recruitable troops, without prepared weapons and armor, were just one step above Ghouls.
But with armor and weapons, they could immediately form combat power. After leveling up a few times, they could be considered veterans.
At this moment, outside the East City Wall, a new BOSS squad appeared.
Compared to the previous BOSS group that had been wiped out, this one was even stronger.
Four Lord BOSSes, including the Wealthy Werewolf, Wild Boarman, Black Knight, and Two-headed Serpent Monster, each with over a dozen trusted aides that were Heroic BOSSes, led a mix of BOSS forces and launched a new attack on the wall.
Unfortunately, this time, the BOSS legion wasn't met by the almost exhausted Crusader Legion, nor by the Archer and Crossbowman Legions with numb hands on the walls.
But by a Blue Star Lord controlling the element of earth!
Meteorite Fall!
A massive meteor, over a hundred meters in diameter, crashed down like a celestial streak. With a loud "boom," it landed outside the East City Wall.
The ground shook violently, dust and smoke filled the air, and rubble flew everywhere.
More than half of the charging BOSS group was hit by the heavenly meteor, turned into lumps of minced meat.
The remaining BOSSes staggered, heavily injured by the shockwave.
It wasn't that these BOSSes weren't formidable, but their strength was only of the Second Tier. The gap between the Second and Fourth tiers was like an abyss.
Moreover, the Lord controlling the power of earth released the Fourth-tier spell "Meteorite Fall," which wasn't limited to that.
As these BOSSes struggled to rise from the dust, they were met by an army of Hellfire!
The massive meteor shattered into dozens of fragments upon impact.
At this moment, ghostly green flames ignited on these fragments.
Each stone, as if transforming, sprouted rocky limbs and heads, with joints burning with ghostly green flames.
The Third-tier unit, Hellfire, belonged to the dual-element beings of earth and fire, all Heroic BOSS templates.
A total of fifty Hellfire, under the Lord's control, rose from the meteor crater and charged at the staggered BOSSes.
Third-tier Heroic BOSS Hellfire VS Second-tier mixed BOSS group!
Full-strength PK against the heavily injured!
In war, one never plays fair.
The towering Hellfire delivered powerful punches and kicks, sending the heavily injured BOSSes fleeing in panic.
There was no helping it. Originally, over a thousand Second-tier BOSSes had been killed or injured by the Fourth-tier spell "Meteorite Fall," leaving more than seven hundred dead.
A Fourth-tier spell couldn't be resisted by a Second-tier BOSS. Even the aftermath caused internal injuries.
Thus, most of the remaining two hundred or so BOSSes were heavily injured, with only a few lightly wounded.
However, the four Lord BOSSes weren't heavily injured. As the commanders of the legion, they were at the back of the charging force, thus escaping immediate death.
Yet at this moment, Hellfire had no mercy for these enemies.
The robust rocky arms struck the BOSSes' faces with merciless flames.
Not only did it inflict massive damage, but it also invaded them with Hellfire, setting them alight and causing continuous fire burn injuries.
It was worth noting that Hellfire was an extremely special flame. Without a special method, once ignited, it wouldn't extinguish until everything was reduced to ashes.
The Second-tier Lord BOSSes and the half-dead Heroic BOSSes were relentlessly pursued by the Hellfires.
Those heavily injured BOSSes trying to stand in the way were either knocked aside or crushed underfoot.
From the entry of the new BOSS group to their annihilation, less than half an hour passed.
The fall of the Lord BOSS indicated the end of the second wave of monster sieges.
Next up was the time for loot collection.
The recently summoned little Skeleton Black Laborers reappeared, moving swiftly across the battlefield.
Under the command of the Skeleton King and his subordinates, even these low-intelligence skeletons performed efficiently.
Especially when looting corpses, they even stripped the clothes and equipment from the bodies.
If it weren't for the need to maintain the public order, these little Skeleton Black Laborers might have stripped even the underwear off them.
The Blue Star Lords looked a bit uncomfortable at the moment.
Comparing the loot from the four corresponding portal wall battlefields left them quite embarrassed.
The monsters from the other three portals dropped enough items to form a small hill.
In contrast, the loot from the monsters they defeated was not even a tenth of that.
This included the drops from over two thousand BOSSes, revealing a massive disparity in loot drop rates. They understood deeply what it meant to be a Luck Emperor and what it meant to be a Black Slave.
"Every monster dropped something, the drop rate is terrifying."
"No, even more terrifying is that every monster's drop is top-tier!"
"I finally understand why Lord Zi Liyuan has so many [Heart of the Lord]."
"The instance origin chests and lair origin chests on Blue Star all have the chance to drop [Heart of the Lord]. With his luck, he probably reaches a 50% drop rate."
"Moreover, Lord Zi Liyuan's deep connections with the Great Xia Empire's government and military likely allow him to acquire origin chests at a minimal cost."
"Sigh, the Wanderers and Mercenaries outside would fight to the death for a single [Heart of the Lord], yet Lord Zi Liyuan could acquire them in bulk, such a stark contrast..."
"Faithfully working hard, there will be bread, and there will also be milk..."
The Lords looked at the little Skeleton Black Laborers cleaning the battlefield, feeling both rueful and emotional.
At that moment, the sky darkened, and a massive beam of light descended from the sky.
One by one, supply crates appeared in the open space within the East City Wall.
"Whoa, they can air-drop supplies?"
"What a huge spacecraft, this must be a spacecraft from space?"
"Tsk tsk, ten thousand standard armors, all of rare quality, tsk tsk..."
"With this supply, how much profit could be reaped if sold entirely to the lords of New World No. 99?"
"Wow! Are all these weapons firearms?!"
"What? Let me take a look!"
"Ha ha, with these weapons, taking down Third-tier monsters is no problem."
"Change gear! Immediately! Right now!"
"Uh, heavy infantry with machine guns, doesn't this feel a bit odd?"
"What's odd? Use the machine guns for heavy fire first, and when the monsters close in, charge at them with heavy armor, thrusting them with a greatsword at close range." Read chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
With everyone contributing lines, they quickly divided up the supplies, then immediately started equipping their recruited corps with new gear.
First, they called in the Crusader Legion, already at the peak of the Third tier, updating their armor and distributing a light machine gun and several hundred bullets each.
The remaining and replaced armor was given to newly recruited Crusader soldiers.
The Archers and Crossbowmen all took up heavy machine guns and set them up along the walls, with crates of ammunition by their sides.
With this wave of gear change, it was truly a transition from peashooter to cannon.
