The following rewards are granted: 50 Gold, 1 Random Special Territory Building, and 1 Territory Building Upgrade Talisman.”

“Great Han Dynasty Announcement…”

Once the announcement was made, the Great Han Dynasty was thrown into chaos.

How much time has passed since then?

Just a few days ago, the Forum battle was causing a huge stir, and now Daming Village had quietly upgraded again?

“Does this have to be so? It feels boring if the Great God doesn’t cause trouble for a day.”

“While everyone is still wobbling around at Village Level 1, Great God Daydreaming is already heading to Level 3 alone.”

“If you keep playing like this, Great God, you won’t have any friends left.”

“I can’t take it anymore. I must earn enough resources to upgrade, and then I’ll livestream myself chopping off my hands after selling timber.”

Chaos erupted again in the Great Han Dynasty channel, but at this moment, Mo Xiaobai had no interest at all in watching the players riot.

At the exact moment the Intellect Brain announcement sounded, the content of this rank-up mission also reached his ears:

“Territory Rank-up Mission (1)”

“Mission Description: Because ‘Daming Village’ territory expanded to cover ten thousand acres, it caused hostility from the surrounding Beast Territories. This triggered the mission ‘Chaos of the Hundred Beasts’. Beast Territories within a thirty-mile radius of the territory will launch an immediate attack on Daming Village. Please, Lord Player Daydreaming, prepare for defense and stop Daming Village from being destroyed.”

“Mission Reward: 20 points of Territory Fame, 40 Farmland, 20 Medicine Fields.”

“Failure Penalty: The territory will be automatically destroyed.”

…

“Territory Rank-up Mission (2)”

“Mission Description: Please, Lord ‘Daydreaming’, upgrade the level of any three basic Territory Buildings to Village Level 3 within three days.”

“Mission Reward: 10 points of Territory Fame, 20 Farmland.”

“Failure Penalty: The territory will be automatically destroyed.”

“Mission Countdown: 2:23:59:52”

With two missions in front of him, the joy of Mo Xiaobai’s rewards was largely washed away.

The Chaos of the Hundred Beasts was finally coming!

With the confirmation that the Beast Territories would attack Daming Village, Mo Xiaobai went to find Li Ji, who was scouting for traps in the east of the territory.

“My Lord, the trap fires and torches have all been prepared.” Li Ji said upon hearing this, pointing to the surroundings with his right hand: “This subordinate has already sent Rattan Armor Soldiers to scout in four directions. Once there are any signs of beast herds, we will signal immediately with smoke and fire. The hundred beasts in the east have lost their Tiger King commander. This subordinate strives to resolve the battle as quickly as possible, then rush to support the south.”

“There are no soldiers here to help. Maogong only brought a dozen or so villagers to throw torches. The pressure is equally great, so everything must be handled with care.”

“My Lord, do not worry. This subordinate will certainly not disappoint your expectations.”

Li Ji said it like that, so Mo Xiaobai could only choose to believe him. Then he hurried to the west wall of the territory. Looking at the entire wall filled with wooden stakes and rolling stones, he could not help but smile.

“The territory is in danger on all four sides, but it is Jianli’s defense that is the most reassuring.”

“With material support from My Lord, this subordinate will firmly hold the Stone Wall. Even if the Wolf King comes, this subordinate will not yield even a fraction.”

“Good. When the great battle ends, let us drink together to celebrate!”

Having a general like this made Mo Xiaobai feel that the probability of holding the territory could rise by another ten percent.

Coming down from the wall, Mo Xiaobai arrived in the heart of the valley.

This area was completely open, but now a patch of sand had been cleared, with various traps underneath. At the same time, the most elite Rattan Armor Soldiers of Daming Village were stationed there.

There were not many of them, only a few dozen, but this group of Tier 3 Unit Type troops, in the context of the current Plane world, was definitely at the very top of all Player territory soldiers.

Dealing with Beast Kings might be tough, but killing them together was not hard.

Wearing Rattan Armor would be their best protection.

As the final circle of territory patrol ended, time flowed by second by second. Suddenly, fire erupted from the forest in the east of the territory. Even Mo Xiaobai, standing far away, could see the swirling smoke and fire.

The hundred beasts were attacking. They were here!

Mo Xiaobai did not go over to investigate. He believed that Li Ji could withstand the attack from the hundred beasts.

In fact, Li Ji had indeed spotted the approaching hundred beasts a step earlier than Mo Xiaobai.

The roar of the hundred beasts coming from the forest had caused earthquakes, which had already made Li Ji fix his gaze firmly on the hundred-meter distance ahead.

When the first vicious jackal appeared, Li Ji had already taken a lit torch from the hand of a villager beside him.

Having personally seen the vicious jackal step off balance and fall into a trap, followed immediately by dozens of other evil beasts of different shapes behind it, Li Ji suddenly threw the torch.

The wooden stick, flickering with sparks, traced an arc through the air and landed precisely into the pit where the vicious jackal had fallen. Screams and a wall of fire rising ten feet high appeared together. The vicious jackal, which had been struggling to jump out of the pit, was burned back inside by this single fire.

Immediately after, three more vicious jackals fell into a nearby pit.

Li Ji waved his arm continuously. Soon, the first fire wall a hundred meters away was fully ignited.

Mountain evil beasts rushed forward one after another, but often before they could run ten meters, they fell into new pits.

From a distance of a hundred meters to forty meters, Li Ji did not count carefully, but even with a rough estimate, he calculated that the pits and fire walls had intercepted nearly three hundred evil beasts at least.

“All Territory Citizens, listen to my command!”

“Throw!”

When more and more evil beasts rushed to the position thirty or forty meters away, Li Ji stopped acting himself. After giving the command, the eighteen strong young citizens around him threw their weapons to complete their first attack of throwing.

“Boom~”

The effect of a dozen people throwing together was far better than if Li Ji had done it alone.

Even if this group of citizens did not have perfect throwing skills, the pits were as big as the foundation of half a house. Unless the aim was wildly off, they could generally throw them in.

As long as the torches were thrown inside, within four or five seconds at most, thick smoke and flames would surely rise.

Just with this one wave of attack, the number of evil beasts killed by pit spikes, burned to death, or poisoned to death increased again by one or two hundred.

This was the consequence of not having a Beast King to command them. Without command and coordination, no matter how many evil beasts there were, they were just moths flying into the fire.

…

“Smash!”

“Smash them hard!”

“There are plenty of rolling stones and logs.”

“Do not save your strength. Smash them hard and throw them out!”

Compared to the trap killing in the east, the battle in the west was even more intense. He Chun ran back and forth on the wall giving orders. The Village Soldiers beside him were also using all their strength to throw all the piled-up huge stones and logs around them down.

Outside the Stone Wall, nearly a hundred black wolves roared and dived forward. After getting close to the wall corner, they jumped up violently. Many black wolves came dangerously close to the top of the wall, but were immediately pushed back by the Village Soldiers smashing them, or stabbed in the chest by a nearby spear.

“Arooow~~”

Despite paying the price of nearly a hundred companion corpses, not a single wolf had managed to reach the top of the wall. The lone wolf standing on a distant hillside conveyed a new command in its unique, low voice.

It was the leader of this pack of vicious wolves, the King of Wolf Mountain!
