The sky became darker and darker. The moon today was different from other dark nights.
The pure white light of the full moon was extremely bright in the night.
Everything within a few hundred meters could be seen clearly.
As the last country chose its difficulty, this tower defense battle officially began.
In other countries that chose normal difficulty, a dense fog began to appear, and a viscous darkness enveloped the desert, mountains, and other places.
Pierce had chosen the hell difficulty level, and unlike the situation in other teams, he could still see the surroundings clearly.
Roar!
The level 3 zombies hiding in the fog shouted loudly.
The weapons that they had prepared were all damaged during the previous invasion.
But today was different.
Even though they had lost their weapons, they had bought elemental arrow towers and all kinds of weapon seeds from the Unique Shop.
It gave them some sense of security.
All the contestants were already in their positions. Some were in charge of the arrow towers on top of the city walls and some were in charge of melee combat.
Everything seemed to be in order.
However, the number of monsters this time made them feel very troubled.
The hard iron spears bought from the store were stabbed into the dark zombies, but they were stuck. These melee fighters were caught by the zombies and eaten until only bloody bones were left.
This situation was happening on most battlefields.
On Pierce's side.
Pierce, who had just fused the lightning element energy stone into the AK-47, was scrutinizing the gun carefully.
Purple patterns covered the entire body of the gun, giving it a feeling of explosive power.
The bullets inside automatically evolved into lightning elemental bullets.
Its power was comparable to an arrow from the elemental arrow tower.
[Lightning Elemental AK-47]
[Level: 2]
[Remarks: I wonder which genius came up with this fusion method.]
Pierce smiled when he read the remarks.
With the golden hint, he could do anything.
Vivier was sitting on the ground, looking into the distance. Her light golden pupils reflected the stars in the sky.
It was an extremely beautiful sight.
Pierce did not know if it was a misconception, but every time he chose hell difficulty, the monsters on his side would arrive a bit slower.
Lights flashed as the green radar rang in alarm.
Everyone was on high alert.
Even the swaying, sleepy peashooters perked up.
They looked warily at the dark forest in the distance.
Under the illumination of the lamps, three tall and mighty figures appeared from the forest.
They rode on tall, armored horses. Their eyes were dark, they wore armor and held spears in their hands.
These were the entourage.
Level 4 creature.
[Dark Cavalier]
Pierce's expression didn't change when he saw the three tall and mighty figures, but his expression became much more serious.
"Level 4 monsters? It seems like the eight-headed serpent is at least a level 5 creature, or even a level 6 one…"
Then, the Tower Defense world's system interface showed Pierce their relevant attributes.
[Dark Cavalier]
[Level: 4]
[Growth Potential: Level 4+]
[Skills: Sweep in all directions, Iron Steed Charging]
[Elemental Attribute: Darkness]
[Remarks: These unyielding riders who roam the battlefield are the leaders of the zombie army. Please be careful of their speed… and tactics!]
Tactics!?!
Pierce was taken aback. This meant that the dark cavalier in front of him had considerable intelligence.
Looks like I'll have to be more careful this time.
It seemed like it would not be easy to deal with these zombie leaders who could cooperate.
Then, as Pierce stared at them, all their weaknesses were exposed.
[As they were cavalry soldiers when they were alive, they can cooperate with their comrades and use various tactics. If possible, you can kill their horses first…]
[Without horses, they will become as fragile as ordinary level 3 zombies.]
Pierce looked at the three tall figures who had been hovering in the distance, carefully observing the city.
He immediately ordered the griffin, which had been tortured to the point of being half-dead, to go and conduct a series of harassments to lure them into the range of the peashooters.
With a low growl, the griffin flew into the night sky and hid in the darkness.
Following a soft flying sound, the griffin began to harass the dark cavaliers.
But the effect was minimal. It was unable to attract their attention.
The griffin's attacks were completely unable to break through their armor. Its attacks were similar to scratching their itch.
The people watching Pierce's live stream on Planet Blue were also stunned.
After all, they had all witnessed the griffin's might when it fought against a level 5 creature.
However, right now, its air bullet could not break through these riders' defenses. There was not even a trace on their armor.
Furthermore, there were three such monsters!
Countless people watched the live broadcast in disbelief.
"What can be done? Even the griffin can't break open this thing, the arrow towers should be even more ineffective, right!?"
"F*ck, this must be a level 4 creature. No, no, no, even a level 5 creature doesn't have such strong defense."
"Is this the hell mode? Love it, love it."
"If this thing were to be placed on any other battlefield, it would have already started a massacre. Do not ever doubt the strength of a cavalier. They are the main fighting force in the battlefield."
"The reason why they are not attacking Boss Pierce's city is maybe because they are observing?"
"Sigh, I actually wanted to persuade Big Boss Pierce, but I was scolded too harshly by you fanatics. You're just a bunch of idiots. Let's see what you can say now!"
"What's the use of persuading him? Don't you know that Sir Pierce never reads the live-stream comments?"
"My boss did not even read the comments sent by the country. Why would he read the comment of a nobody like you? Who do you think you are?"
All of a sudden, the live-stream was filled with comments.
Everyone was worried about Pierce.
However, there was simply nothing they could do.
They couldn't just go in and help Pierce. After all, it was the Tower Defense world inside.
And on Planet Blue, there were also many people gloating.
"Take a look, what is called stupidity? Our savior, Pierce, has successfully explained it to us."
"Do you really think that you're all that just because you played Hell Mode once?"
"Pierce is from a prestigious university. We can't compare to him."
"He has to be brainless and stupid. I don't even know how he got into a famous university in the country."
