Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Seizing the Opportunity to Attack the Volcano Race"Is everything progressing smoothly?" Tang Xichen asked Rosen, who returned by himself.

    "I’ve managed to guide the Icefield Race over as much as possible. Xu Chen’s territory is likely doomed, but Patriarch Tang’s territory has only partially felt the impact from the Icefield Race, so it might not be significant," Rosen replied.

    "You’ve done your best. It’s quite impressive to eliminate Xu Chen’s territory, and my father’s stronghold won’t be easily taken. We can only hope that the Icefield Race entangles them for a bit longer."

    Tang Xichen fiddled with the silky hair by her ear, a twinkle appeared in her eyes, and she said, "We should also focus our efforts on resisting the Volcano Race. Currently, their attacks on my territory have become more intense, and they’re beginning to deploy second-tier troops."

    "While Patriarch Tang’s territory is being held up by the Icefield Race, my Beastmen in the territory can serve your commands. We can launch an attack on the distant Volcanic Region," Rosen said, looking at the Icefield Region.

    "It’s time for me to summon another batch of second-tier soldiers."

    As Rosen spoke, he headed to the second-level garrison of his territory.

    He unlocked the Giant Troll Javelin Throwers and summoned twenty of them immediately.

    He then looked at the nearby beast cage and unlocked the Demon Bear, summoning one.

    At that moment, Rosen Territory’s resources coincidentally ran out.

    Turning again to Tang Xichen, she had already led away the Beastman units from Rosen Territory, rallying towards her Angel Territory.

    Rosen glanced at the second-tier troops he had just summoned and then observed the situation in the Icefield Region, deciding to make a somewhat risky decision.

    That decision was to lead the newly summoned second-tier troops to assist Tang Xichen.

    As for whether Tang Xuanze would immediately attack his Beastman Territory after repelling the Icefield Race, Rosen considered it possible but not very likely.

    In general, when a territory is damaged, it’s best to prioritize recovery and guard against invasions from hostile territories.

    Even if Tang Xuanze were to attack, Rosen wasn’t worried. After all, this is just a warm-up before the Lord Dominance Competition. Patriarch Tang wouldn’t go all out, as that would diminish the training’s significance.

    "Aren’t you worried about patrolling your territory?" Tang Xichen asked Rosen, who caught up with her.

    "The Volcano Race’s territory won’t be easy to take on, so I’m here to lend you a hand."

    Tang Xichen nodded in response and didn’t refuse.

    Mutual support among allies is also a form of practice for coordination.

    "Our army is about to reach the Volcano Race’s territory."

    Tang Xichen and Rosen advanced at the forefront of the army, with Tang Xichen pointing toward the relatively low volcano vent ahead.

    They could clearly see several rows of fire-attributed troops gathering at the volcano vent, seemingly ready to regroup for another strike at Tang’s territory.

    Among these fire-attribute troops, the most numerous were the firebugs capable of parasitism.

    This is the Volcano Race’s first-tier troop, with limited abilities, only able to parasitize weakened targets.

    Similarly, there are also first-tier troops called Fire Elves, very weak unless they’re heroes, with their ability to manipulate fire and inflict weak damage. S~ea??h the N??eFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    As for the second-tier troops, there were Fire Demons, Smoke Fog Ghosts, and volcanic beings.

    Fire Demons are significantly more powerful than Fire Elves, able to manipulate lava directly, causing more notable burning effects.

    Upon being targeted by lava, a continuous burning effect ensues, reducing life by 5 points per second.

    Smoke Fog Ghosts seem to lack physical form, appearing as mere dark smoke. In reality, their essence lies within the crystal core amid the fog, and only by destroying the core can they be eliminated.

    A group of Smoke Fog Ghosts can envelop a large area in fog, obstructing enemy vision, similar to the effects of mist released by an Abyss Lord.

    On the ground, there were crawling streams of molten lava. These beings, called volcanic creatures of the Demon Race, specialize in enveloping targets to incinerate them with high temperatures, perishing along with their targets.

    The cooperation among these three second-tier troops made them extremely troublesome. Tang Xichen had previously suffered losses because of them.

    The armies hadn’t yet clashed when Tang Xichen first unleashed several Light Curtains, pushing them towards the area the Smoke Fog Ghosts gathered.

    The sound of crystal cores shattering echoed through the air, and the distant smokescreens slowly thinned.

    "Leave the first-tier troops to you, I’ll handle the rest," Tang Xichen said, leading the main forces to charge the numerous second-tier troops.

    "Not even consulting me?" Rosen was slightly unprepared for Tang Xichen’s independent manner.

    Maybe interacting with Ye Yuxuan for too long made teaming up with an ’ice queen’ somewhat awkward.

    "The first-tier troops are quite numerous, plenty to keep me busy."

    Although the challenge wasn’t significant, and using second-tier troops against first-tier ones seemed a bit like bullying, Rosen felt no moral qualms.

    "Nonsense, there’s no moral issue with crushing a bunch of weak Demon Race creatures."

    Rosen’s Giant Troll Javelin Throwers threw their javelins from a distance, almost killing with each throw, even achieving double hits.

    The Volcano Race’s first-tier troops hadn’t reached the proximity before more than half were annihilated.

    When they came close, the concentrated attacks from hundreds of Xiaohai easily wiped them out.

    Looking towards Tang Xichen, the coalition army of Angels and Beastmen also smashed through the Volcano Race army.

    Before long, the Volcano Race force preparing to attack Tang Territory was completely destroyed!

    Rosen then climbed the hill, finding Tang Xichen already observing the volcano vent below.

    They stood on an active volcano, with scorching red magma churning inside, ready to erupt at any moment.

    Surviving in such high temperatures, the Volcano Race thrived as if they were fish in water.

    The high temperature of the lava actually enhanced their fire attributes significantly beyond the base level of the Volcanic Region.

    This meant that using the volcano vent as a battle environment for the invaders was a challenging choice with little gain.

    "We can only lure them out as much as possible."

    Rosen and Tang Xichen said in unison, exchanging looks of mutual surprise.

    "I’ll lure them out," Tang Xichen offered to take on this task.

    Thinking it would take some effort, it turned out simpler than expected.

    Tang continuously sent several Light Curtains into the volcano vent, bombarding the Volcano Race’s territory.

    The buildings in the Volcano Race’s territory, made of volcanic ash-hardened granite, were more robust than ordinary wooden structures.

    Yet, under the successive bombardments of the Light Curtains, many were shattered.

    A massive army stationed by the Volcano Race surged from the buildings.

    Their number was nearly five hundred!

    "The scale matches our brought army; initially thought it would be a territory with over a thousand, but it seems not."

    Rosen noticed the solitary gold mine within the volcano vent.

    The quantity of gold mines is a critical factor in limiting development.

    "The army of the Volcano Race has been drawn out. Let’s retreat a certain distance."

    Rosen and Tang Xichen’s army retreated several hundred meters down the slope, leaving plenty of space for the Volcano Race.

    What followed would be an even fiercer battle!

    ...

    The Ninja forces led by Tang Xuanze had already crushed the invaders of the Icefield Race and provided support to Xu Chen’s territory.

    Unfortunately, by the time he eliminated the Icefield Race within Xu Territory, Xu’s main castle was already destroyed.

    Without the main castle, it was as if his territory was already eliminated.

    "Your territory is beyond saving, come with me back to the Ninja Village and serve as my subordinate."

    Tang Xuanze beckoned to the pale-faced Xu Chen and then led his troops back.

    Silent on Tang Xuanze’s personal appearance, she also gathered intelligence from the sole surviving Invisibility Ninja in Rosen Territory.

    Upon Tang Xuanze’s return, she met him and reported, "Latest intelligence on the Beastman Territory, the lord has cleared all troops to support the Angel Territory. Shall we launch an immediate attack to destroy the Beastman Territory, my lord?"
