Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Ambush Fails and BackfiresIt was only two days later that Rosen successfully occupied six gold mines, mainly thanks to the efforts of the Goddess of Vengeance and Xiaohai.

    After sending workers to occupy all the gold mines, Rosen focused on checking the main city and found that there were enough resources to upgrade to a level two main city, so he immediately took action.

    After the level two main city upgrade was completed, he upgraded the barracks to level two, allowing him to summon level two units.

    There were plenty of remaining resources, and the growth rate was rapid.

    Rosen promptly unlocked the level two units named Dragon Knights and summoned a large number of them.

    A total of thirty Dragon Knights.

    With the setting of flying units ignoring ground close-range units, as long as the invader does not bring many flying units, it is sufficient to deal with them.

    "I need to quickly upgrade to a level three main city; then, when I summon defensive towers, real security can be guaranteed."

    Rosen envisioned that when defensive towers emerged in large numbers, he could truly venture further with peace of mind.

    The next day, Rosen conquered area number 4.

    And it was from this time that he realized it would be difficult to rely on equipment advantage to crush everyone in the future, as most of the lords had discovered armies numbering in the hundreds.

    Though many of these lords were novices, having gone through the trials of the newbie phase, their operations were proficient now and wouldn’t be sluggish like a novice.

    Rosen conquered area number four, where one of the territories was a silver mine, not a gold mine, but that area also randomized two collection points, one of which was a gold mine.

    Therefore, he still successfully occupied two gold mines this time, raising the number of gold mines he owned directly to eight.

    The next day, Rosen immediately summoned fifty Dragon Knights.

    Leading thirty of them, he marched toward area number 5.

    During previous explorations of area number 5, he found that the opponents there had already split, and many air walls had been opened. The only territory had already appeared with two hundred ground units.

    It could be said to be a relatively large level two territory.

    To prevent it from growing into a significant threat, Rosen went ahead to cause trouble for the level two territory in area number 5.

    He experienced an unprecedented fierce battle.

    His underling, the Goddess of Vengeance, died violently, and over a hundred Xiaohai scattered.

    While the opponent commanded less than one hundred and twenty units.

    Rosen’s thirty Dragon Knights continuously launched breath attacks against the ground units.

    Those ground units, which could not deal damage to the aerial range, were helplessly burned to death by Rosen’s Dragon Knights.

    The opposing lord was even more furious: "Damn! It’s an aerial unit; my barracks need to be upgraded to level three to summon the Firearms Soldier that can attack aerial units!"

    The Dragon Knights continuously breathed down, destroying the lord’s buildings, and ultimately burning the lord to death.

    Unfortunately, the resource point in area number 5 was a beehive, which Rosen could not occupy, and there were no gold mines around either.

    Rosen could only search outward through the three air walls opened around area number 5 and eventually found something.

    Those three opened areas had already been wiped out, and among them were two unowned gold mines.

    After Rosen took possession of them, he commanded a total of ten gold mines!

    When he reconnected with Tang Xichen, he learned from Tang that his current number of gold mines was six.

    He was still ahead, although mainly relying on equipment advantage in the early stages; later, the speed at which he occupied gold mines might dwindle.

    It was just as Rosen led the Dragon Knights back to his main base.

    And unexpectedly found that one of the barracks in his territory had been destroyed!

    "Damn, who ambushed me?!"

    He was quite surprised.

    Moreover, what annoyed him more was that of the twenty Dragon Knights he had left to guard, only ten were left in a low-health state.

    Indicating that the ambushing lord had brought a considerable number of aerial units.

    "I think it must be area number three; I haven’t explored it before, so now it’s time to see what kind of territory it is."

    After confirming the next target, Rosen then upgraded another barracks and summoned a lot of Dragon Knights.

    Immediately afterward, he saw that his territory’s resources were enough to upgrade to a level three main city, so he chose the upgrade without hesitation.

    Upon upgrading to the level three main city, the first priority was to build defensive towers.

    A total of thirty towers were built.

    Ten each of turret, arrow tower, and magic tower, all upgraded to the highest level. Sёar?h the N??elFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Now, even if the opponent led a hundred troops over, his territory could barely hold out relying on the defensive towers.

    Resources were depleted, and he could only wait until the next day to summon troops in large quantities again.

    Instead of summoning them all at once, Rosen preferred a slow summoning pace, calling troops every few minutes to prevent the opponent from bringing in a large amount of troops before the next day.

    It was already the latter part of the night, with two more hours until dawn.

    Rosen yawned as he guarded the watchtower of the main city.

    Looking toward the direction of area number three.

    By now, all of Rosen’s forces consisted of Dragon Knights, a total of fifty, combined with thirty defensive towers; he wasn’t afraid of any enemy raids.

    It was at this moment that a large army appeared from area number three, numbering around two hundred.

    They were revealed to be Amazon Archers!

    "Awesome, they actually summoned two hundred Amazon Archers to deal with my territory! Awesome!"

    Rosen exclaimed in amazement, feeling a slight sense of crisis upon seeing the mighty army.

    However, the crisis wasn’t too intense.

    After all, he had thirty defensive towers in total, upgraded to the highest level.

    Boom boom boom!!!

    As the two hundred Amazon Archers neared the edge of Rosen’s territory, led by their lord, they unexpectedly suffered successive bombardments from the defense towers!

    "Damn, he had already upgraded his territory to level three and defensive towers so fast! How many collection points did he occupy?"

    The opposing lord’s territory was still at level two, and he considered himself a seasoned lord, practicing arrow flow strategy.

    Because Archers could switch targets at any time, unlike melee units that need positioning near the target, attack speed was very high, switching targets and attacking anytime.

    However, the disadvantages were also apparent: their health and defense were very low.

    But this disadvantage could be offset by numbers.

    He brought two hundred Archers, enough to wipe out a large-scale level two territory.

    But this time, this seasoned lord ran into a hard wall; Rosen’s territory had already upgraded to level three!

    "How could it be! I checked in the morning, it was just a level two territory, and the territory’s scale wasn’t even as large as mine!"

    The lord screamed, having run too far ahead, suddenly incident to simultaneous volleys from thirty defensive towers!

    He instantly died violently!

    "Damn, was this lord brainless, not knowing to hide behind soldiers?" Rosen ridiculed.

    He himself had no intentions of engaging personally, as his hero attributes were suppressed to very low levels, showing no chance of victory.

    Mainly it depended on his troops.

    The fifty Dragon Knights, under Rosen’s command, avoided the dense arrow areas, continuously breathed towards the archers on the ground.

    Along with successive bombardments from thirty defensive towers.

    The number of enemy Archers rapidly diminished.

    If the enemy lord were still alive, he would undoubtedly devise a tactical counterattack.

    Yet, the enemy lord underestimated Rosen, assuming he would win unconditionally, but ended up killing himself first.

    Rosen could only laugh as he wasted the opponent’s Archers and then led the remaining Dragon Knights toward the enemy’s territory.

    Upon seeing that the enemy’s territory had a hundred Archers stationed, Rosen was a bit surprised.

    That lord had actually left a third of his forces to guard the territory, quite cautious indeed.
