Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Level 5 Hostile Territory

Seeing Tang Xichen’s Six-winged Angels, Rosen suddenly felt some confusion and asked, "For the Angel Race, the Twelve-winged Angels should be the pinnacle, but if the lord’s buildings can continuously upgrade, does that mean no more angel units will appear after the Twelve-winged Angels?"

This question had always puzzled Rosen. After all, the Angel Race is divided by the number of wings, with twelve being the ultimate, unless there’s a mutated Angel, an Angel who has eaten genetically modified food, or one affected by nuclear radiation growing extra wings.

But none of these explanations seem reasonable.

In other words, in the later stages, there shouldn’t be any more angel units under Tang Xichen’s command.

However, Tang Xichen denied Rosen’s assumption.

"The Twelve-winged Angels are actually just the beginning among angel units. Later on, Holy Light Angels, Charging Angels, Magic Energy Angels, Qi Gathering Angels, and others will appear, all of the Twelve-winged Angel level. For instance, the Twelve-winged Angel Goddess I awakened belongs to the Holy Light Angels."

Tang Xichen’s words suddenly enlightened Rosen, making him realize that within the angel species, it’s not just a simple division by the number of wings. It’s like a specialization at full level, with many professions to choose from after achieving Twelve Wings, equivalent to just starting out.

And in the Angel Race, reaching Twelve Wings is to achieve hero status, indicative of the powerful bloodline and the preciousness of heroes within the Angel species.

In contrast, in Rosen’s Beastman Legion, even a third-level unit is as strong as a regular Beastman Hero.

That’s the disparity.

However, Rosen is not inferior either; his transformation ability rivals any hero.

And given the attributes of the Golden Holy Dragon itself, it’s actually above the Twelve-winged Angel Goddess.

"Let’s discuss; we should unite our level-five armies and continue expanding outward," Rosen suggested. This was his primary purpose for coming.

The competition had been going on for nearly a month, and many territories had likely reached level four, with level five not far off.

If one develops peacefully, there’s no doubt that it cultivates the enemy’s strength.

The correct approach is to take the initiative!

"Yesterday, I scouted and noticed signs of army activity behind the air wall to the east, as well as many level-four units. The other party is also intensifying their expansion. Perhaps they’ve seen me upgrade to level five units and haven’t attacked yet, but given time, this area will become dangerous too."

"Then we move east and cause trouble for that lord," Rosen said.

"Hmm." Tang Xichen nodded.

That day, as an example, the three’s armies withdrew over ten thousand soldiers, all level-five units, and advanced toward the eastern air wall.

After destroying the buildings, the air wall opened, and the army pressed forward in an overwhelming wave.

Bear in mind that this is a level-five army numbering in the tens of thousands!

Even if twenty thousand level-four units came, they wouldn’t be a match!

"Huh? Strange, why is it an empty city?"

Rosen saw that the opponent’s main base was actually empty, and although there were hundreds of defensive towers guarding the territory, the inside was deserted.

"Is this an empty city strategy?" Rosen became suspicious.

"Perhaps there’s an even bigger threat nearby, and the army has been dispatched," Tang Xichen analyzed.

Rosen felt that Tang Xichen’s explanation made a lot of sense.

Ye Yuxuan suggested, "Why don’t we wait and see if that lord returns?"

There was a general feeling that attacking buildings while others were away was somewhat unsavory. They had all switched to level-five units, so launching a sneak attack felt beneath them.

"Nonsense, when that lord returns, we’ll just take over," Rosen shrugged, and deployed hundreds of Beastman bombers to casually capture the enemy’s territory.

The commotion caused by hundreds of bombers was no small matter; if the enemy lord wanted this territory, they would definitely return with their army to defend it.

But in reality, even after the last building of this massive territory collapsed, the enemy’s lord and army were nowhere to be found.

"Maybe this territory was abandoned?" Ye Yuxuan speculated.

"Abandoning a level-four territory on a whim is unreasonable," Rosen denied Ye Yuxuan’s viewpoint.

After all, losing a territory meant everything was lost, inevitably leading to elimination.

Imagine everyone using their territory to continuously upgrade and gain higher level units, while a lord without a territory could only take fixed units into battle, unable to replenish losses, obviously doomed to failure.

Unless he planned to play hide and seek with other lords, thinking he could hide successfully?

The Lord Dominance Competition surely considered this issue, and thus rules were set in place indicating that lords using such little tricks would encounter tougher opponents. As the surrounding air walls opened, stronger lords would be directed toward them, and even if they didn’t open the surrounding air walls, the nearby lords would be prompted to move closer to their direction.

Thus, Rosen didn’t think the opposing lord would willingly abandon his main city.

"There must be a greater threat nearby, prompting a full military engagement, and he’s unable to return," Tang Xichen speculated.

Rosen examined the footprints of the army’s movements on the ground.

Though the ground was densely populated with footprints, the final traces would overlap others.

Rosen thus confirmed the last direction of the opposing territory’s army.

"West!"

Rosen exclaimed, "That lord led his army to the west!"

"Let’s go check it out," he continued.

Saying so, the three of them followed the footprints westward.

After advancing five kilometers, they finally discovered a battlefield strewn with corpses, piled up like a mountain.

At a glance, the number of corpses numbered in the tens of thousands.

"It should be the army under the lord whose territory we just destroyed," Rosen commented.

Advancing another kilometer, they unexpectedly found an enormous territory behind an opened air wall.

Its size was far greater than Rosen’s own territory.

And at a glance, it was a level-five territory!

"I didn’t expect someone to be faster than us, upgrading to a level-five main city!"

"So quickly, how many resource collection points does he have under his control?"

"It’s hard to say. Depending on the type of territory, the resource collection ratio varies, and there indeed exist types of territories that upgrade faster. But to upgrade to a level-five territory within a month, he has control of at least dozens of resource collection points," Tang Xichen said.

Rosen asked, "Isn’t it possible that this territory, like ours, is also an alliance?"

Upon Rosen’s words, Tang Xichen and Ye Yuxuan’s faces changed simultaneously.

"Hmm, very possible." Tang Xichen nodded and then consulted Rosen’s opinion, "Shall we attack now?"

"Of course, let my bombers test it first. If it seems manageable, we’ll simply crush it. If there is reinforcements, we’ll pull back and reassess the situation."

As a result, Rosen’s hundreds of bombers were dispatched, flying high over enemy territory, immediately encountering heavy bombardment from the Magic Towers.

The bombers also launched attacks on the territory’s buildings, destroying dozens of low-level barracks.

A large number of anti-air units charged out, waving the Magic Staff in their hands, attacking the bombers with energy orbs, destroying them one by one.
