After the first wave of monster attacks, all the adventurers passed smoothly, and the countdown appeared again, still 10 minutes.
Although everyone adopts different strategies, it is difficult to tell which one is better and which one is worse at the beginning of the game, and I have no idea what kind of monsters will appear later, so I can only take one step at a time.
"Military merit is too little."
Martial Arts Changcun looked at the properties of the castle and curled his lips, thinking to himself: "If I keep using skills to attack monsters, military merit will not be supplied at all. Maybe I should change my strategy? Recruit soldiers?"
On the other side, pink Luo Luoli is also thinking about it. She is taking a balanced route. She has just unlocked the level 2 arms and feels that the gold coins are not enough.
"Otherwise, I'll recruit more farmers to increase the output of the gold mine... But what if the next wave of monsters is too powerful and we can't defend it? I'd better recruit more soldiers."
She pursed her lips and weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided to play it safe and use the money to recruit soldiers.
The Queen of Roses has a very clear mind. She unswervingly pursues the route of high-quality troops. All her money is used to hire farmers to mine. Now her number of gold coins is very considerable.
"Come on, monster! I need military merit to unlock advanced arms!" Her eyes were shining with excitement.
Xiaoyao Sword Immortal didn't hesitate this time. He found that this special type of arrow tower was surprisingly useful, so he decided to build this thing in the future. The more the better!
His eyes returned to Zhang Ze, who held his chin to study the situation in front of him.
"I already have 486 gold coins, and I still have a dozen gold coins left to upgrade the Pied Piper. But if I want to increase gold coin production, I have to recruit more farmers. Which one should I choose between the two?"
"There's no telling what monsters will appear in the second wave. If it's more powerful than zombies, I'm afraid it won't be effective if I use the ground spike trap, so it's safer to upgrade Pied Piper."
Thinking of this, Zhang Ze finalized the plan to upgrade the Pied Piper!
It just so happened that the gold coins had reached 500 at this time, so Zhang Ze immediately upgraded the Pied Piper.
"It costs 500 gold coins to upgrade Pied Piper. Do you want to upgrade?"
"yes!"
brush!
A ray of golden light fell from the sky and enveloped the Pied Piper. His appearance gradually changed. The flute in his hand was replaced by an electric guitar. There was a half-person-high stereo at his feet, and his name was also changed to The Magic Piper.
【Magic Sound Master】
Grade: 3
HP: 9
Attack: 14
Range: 15X15
Cost: 100 gold coins
Upgrade: Pied Piper -> Magic Musician (requires 500 gold coins) -> Demonic Conductor (requires 5000 gold coins).
…
Zhang Ze checked the attributes of the magic sound master and was slightly startled: "Oh? Not only the blood volume and attack power have been increased, but there is also an additional attack range? What is the range of 15X15?"
He remembered that the attack range of the ground spike trap was 5X5, which could exactly cover the width of a bridge. Could it be that this 15X15 range could cover three bridges?
After thinking about it, Zhang Ze asked Hei Qiu: "Tell me, can the range 15X15 cover three iron bridges?"
Black Ball's voice sounded: "Okay."
"Very good!" Zhang Ze was overjoyed, "In this way, the magic sound master can guard three bridges by himself, but I don't know how effective it will be in actual combat."
"The countdown is less than 5 minutes now. My farmers can still earn me about 50 gold coins. If there are too many monsters that the magician can't stop, then spend money to buy traps."
Time passed little by little, and the countdown was quickly over.
"Please be aware that there is a large wave of monsters coming ahead!"
Huge red fonts appeared in front of them again, and everyone immediately cheered up and prepared to fight.
Surprisingly, the second wave of monsters are still zombies, but the number has soared to 100!
The Queen of Roses looked disdainful: "Zombies again? I thought there would be more powerful monsters. My three musketeers are enough to deal with them. Save money to upgrade the musketeers!"
Other adventurers also had the same relaxed attitude, because the zombies are really easy to fight. They only have 1 point of health and will die with just one touch. There is no difficulty at all.
Even if 1,000 of them come, don’t worry.
This was indeed the case. The zombies moved slowly. Under the continuous shooting of long-range troops, half of them were already dead before they reached a third of the iron bridge. The rest were all wiped out before they had gone very far.
Some adventurers recruit melee soldiers. These soldiers have hundreds of points of armor. Even if they are surrounded by zombies, there is no need to worry. After all, the attack power of zombies is only 1 point, and the attack speed is slow. They will be dead before they can break the armor. Under the swords and guns of the soldiers.
Xiaoyao Sword Immortal watched his arrow tower shoot zombies to death on the road, and he felt relieved. He was really worried that there were too many zombies and the arrow tower could not hold it. It seemed that his worries were unnecessary.
He turned to look at Zhang Ze and saw that there was only a single follower defending Zhang Ze's iron bridge, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
"Why haven't Brother Rakshasa recruited soldiers? Does he plan to let the Pied Piper fight against hundreds of zombies alone?"
Suddenly he noticed something unusual: "Huh? The appearance of the Pied Piper has changed? Not only the appearance, but also the name has changed... The Magic Sound Master? Is this the upgraded form of the Pied Piper?"
"Looking at his appearance and his name, could he be using music to attack the enemy?"
Facts have proved that Xiaoyao Sword Immortal's guess was completely correct.
When the zombie army staggered into the attack range of the Magic Musician, he immediately plucked the guitar strings, and a powerful heavy metal music was transmitted to the speaker through the electric guitar in his hand, and then played outside.
The sound of the speakers was extremely loud, and all the adventurers had surprised looks on their faces when they heard the music played by the magician.
Buzz!
The sound spread outward in circles like water ripples, covering the entire three iron bridges.
All the zombies who heard the music seemed to be possessed by evil spirits and began to move their heads and tails to the music, seemingly dancing.
But no one thought it was a dance, because it was too ugly and scary, it was just like a group of demons dancing wildly!
When all the zombies entered the range of the music and danced along, the expression of the magician suddenly changed.
He changed from a focused look to a ferocious look!
Stupid!
Suddenly, the pick in his hand moved a high-pitched guitar string, and the entire music suddenly reached the highest note!
That was no longer music that humans could bear. Xiaoyao Jianxian and others couldn't help but cover their ears. Even so, the sound of the music still penetrated into their ears, vibrating their eardrums and stimulating their nerves.
"Ho! Roar!"
Under the influence of this music, the heads of the zombies began to gradually expand, and finally they burst like balloons that had been blown to the limit with a bang!
Bang bang bang!
This kind of muffled explosions continued one after another, and zombies were killed by headshots. Corpses fell to the ground one after another, layer upon layer, and finally formed a hill.
The music of the Magic Musician stopped, all the zombies were destroyed, and the scene was full of headless corpses.
All the adventurers were shocked. They didn't expect this magic sound master to be so powerful!
A song that takes less than two minutes to wipe out 100 zombies!
But it took them a full seven or eight minutes, which was still fast.
A slower adventurer would need more than ten minutes to eliminate the zombies, and the efficiency is simply heaven and earth.
Also, don’t forget that there is only one magic sound master on Zhang Ze’s side, and they have at least three soldiers, even more than a dozen!
In the church, the adventurers from all over the world who were watching the battle had their eyes wide open. Is the strength of the Pied Piper so terrifying after his upgrade? One person fights 100 zombies!
Zhang Ze nodded with satisfaction: "The magic sound master is not bad, the money is not wasted!"
The performance of Magic Music Master exceeded Zhang Ze's expectations and made him determined on his development path.
That is to mine wildly to make money, collect military merits to summon followers, and then upgrade them all the way to the highest level!
He looked at the jadeite on the central platform, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind.
"Since Jade can send troops to attack me, can I also send troops to counterattack her?"
"When all my followers reach the top level, I will definitely try to see if I can capture Jade alive!"
Zhang Ze still has many questions in his mind about the creators and their master, the God of Creation, and he hopes to clarify these things through the Mouth of Jade.
In the Great Xia Church, the giant god, the irritable Dragon King and others looked excited.
"Rakshasa's Pied Piper is so powerful after its upgrade!" Dragon King laughed and said, "I can tell right now that Rakshasa will definitely win the final victory!"
Zhang Feng also looked proud: "Of course, that's my brother!"
He didn't feel emotional about using the knife but thought about the problem from another angle. He said: "So far, there are no problems with Rakshasa's operation."
"However, he will face the problem of insufficient money next. After all, there are only 10 farmers working, and gold coins can be supplied in the early stage. But in the later stage, if he wants to upgrade his followers, he may have to spend a lot of money."
"The current 10 farmers alone are simply not enough, so I think he should recruit more farmers to increase gold mine production."
Yao Guang said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't have enough money, right? After the Pied Piper is upgraded, he is so powerful that he can completely withstand monster attacks. Even if he really can't withstand it anymore, he can just call other followers to help. There is no need to spend more money. Money continues to upgrade Pied Piper.”
"No, it is necessary to upgrade the followers to the highest level." Yiye Zhiqiu shook his head and said: "You have to know that this is only the second wave of monsters. No one knows how many more waves there will be, and no one knows what the monsters look like. , there are too many unknown factors, and we must not take it lightly.”
"If things go bad, Rakshasa may be too late if he wants to upgrade his followers, so he must prepare for a rainy day."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Here, that Jadeite is both the rule maker and a participant in the game. This is equivalent to the referee personally coming off the field to compete with other athletes for the championship. Who can guarantee that everything is fair and just?
Therefore, it is the last word to work hard to improve your own strength!
Returning to the playing field, Zhang Ze looked at his castle attributes. Now that his military merit had reached 130 points, he was going to use [Summoning Technique] to summon another follower.
"Do you want to use 200 points of military merit?"
"Huh? Why did it become 200 points of military merit?"
Zhang Ze was stunned when he saw this system prompt. The first time he used the skill, he consumed 100 military points, but the second time it doubled?
"Black Ball, why does it cost so much military merit to use the skill for the second time?"
Zhang Ze asked Black Ball, and Black Ball quickly gave the answer: "The rules for using skills to consume military merit are as follows. The first time you use a skill, you need to consume 100 military merit. The second time, it will be doubled on the basis of the first time, so It consumes 200 points of military merit. The third time, doubled on the basis of the second time, requires 400 points of military merit...and so on."
Zhang Ze frowned. According to Black Ball, as the number of times the skill is used increases, the military power consumed will also increase exponentially!
In the later stage, the military power consumed may be astronomical!
"It seems that every time you use a skill, you must carefully consider it, because military merit is not like gold coins, which are inexhaustible."
Shaking his head slightly, he thought to himself: "My military merit is not enough, so I can't summon new followers. I can only wait until the next wave of monsters are eliminated and I can get new military merit."
Other adventurers are also actively preparing and recruiting troops to prepare for new challenges.
Soon, a new wave of monsters appeared!
The monsters that appeared this time were no longer zombies, but monsters called cannibals.
They wore skull masks and animal skins. Some held spears and shields in their hands, and some held bows and arrows. They rushed toward the iron bridge with strange whining and whining screams.
【Cannibal】
Grade: 2
HP: 2
Attack: 2
…
"Oh my god, are these savages?" Pink Luo Luoli looked surprised: "They move much faster than zombies!"
Not only that, the cannibals' attack methods have also become diverse. They know how to use shields to block incoming arrows and bullets, and they also know how to shoot arrows and throw spears to fight back.
As a result, the attack effect of level 1 troops is greatly reduced, especially the archers, because the arrows they shoot are blocked by the cannibal's shield.
The adventurers who recruited long-range troops had a headache. The archers' shooting had almost no effect. The cannibals had already rushed to the middle of the iron bridge. If they didn't think of a way, they rushed in front of them.
But the Queen of Roses is not too worried. Although the cannibal's shield can also resist the musketeers' bullets, the destructive power of the bullets is much higher than that of bows and arrows. The shield can withstand it once or twice, but it will be penetrated by the bullets the third time. , hitting the cannibal behind the shield.
So the cannibals who attacked her territory were unlucky. They charged forward under a hail of bullets, but in the end they all fell to the muzzles of the musketeers.
"Hmph, one musketeer was killed in battle..." The Queen of Roses was a little depressed, but her mood improved again after seeing the situation of other adventurers.
Violent Godzilla and Bloody Dawn 1923 and others recruit level 1 troops, archers and sword and shield soldiers.
They suffered a big loss in front of the level 2 cannibals. If they hadn't used their skills to rescue them in the end, all these soldiers would have been wiped out.
Hammer Sickle and Pink Luo Li, who took the balanced route, were in a better situation, but they also suffered a few casualties.
Only Xiaoyao Sword Immortal is the most carefree. His arrow tower wiped out 100 cannibals. Although the arrow tower was also damaged, it can still be used, which means there is no loss.
On Zhang Ze's side, the magician has been sitting on the speaker playing with the electric guitar, quietly waiting for his prey to enter his attack range.
The cannibals walking on the iron bridge seemed to realize that the magic sound master was not simple, and did not dare to act rashly, but only approached a little bit.
So everyone else's monsters have been cleared, and his side has just started.
