Chapter 1128: The Tower of The Wilderness

"All right. What do you have, Melody?" Clovis asked with a smile.

Melody nodded as she projected the screen, showing a wilderness with a tower that only reached up to 10 meters above ground. The reddish-black tower was their next target.

"This is the Tower of the Wilderness. As for what kind of tower it is, we don’t exactly know. It can be anything. All we know is that this tower is practically protected by a massive beast.

"This Tier 9 beast has everything—speed, power, and defense. The speed is similar to that of people with Blood affinity, the power is similar to that of people with Muscle affinity, and its scale boosts the lizard’s defense.

"It’s an all-rounder, which is why this lizard is actually more dangerous than anything you’ve seen so far.

"The beast is extremely strong, but we can’t ignore the fact that this beast has a lot of lower-level beasts around it, more importantly, these 7 Tier 8 beasts.

"It has never left the tower, so we have no choice but to defeat it if we want to enter the Tower of Wilderness.

"It’s because of this tower’s defense that the Prophet doesn’t need to protect it. At most, he will only send the Moon Bow, who can attack from a distance. Sending an army or even the Sword Saint or the Spear Saint is the same as sending them to their death.

"However, we will be different. Mara is with us right now, and her main role will be stopping the Moon Bow. Although I don’t want to praise you guys so that you don’t feel complacent, the Libation Fiesta can be considered the strongest team ever. We have the strongest fighting force, even if we don’t count Mara.

"That’s why we may stand a chance. Still, it won’t be an easy fight. The number and their strength should make you understand that.

"At the same time, how high is the success you have in killing the Moon Bow, Mara?" Melody asked.

Mara thought for a moment. "I’m not entirely sure. Maybe 60%? They always have cards if they want to escape."

Clovis responded, "In that case, we will have Christina and Jay with you. They’re strong enough that they won’t be a burden during the fight."

"What?" Jay and Christina looked surprised. They couldn’t understand the decision. If they left, Clovis would be in danger.

Clovis raised one finger as he stared at Christina. "Your grandfather was heavily injured because of him. And that originated from his insult to you. It would be perfect if you could end that grudge."

"That’s..." Christina remembered that incident. Her grandfather had to fight the Moon Bow because the Moon Bow degraded her status.

Clovis turned to Jay. "You are the one I can trust in this matter, Jay. What we need right now is speed. If we can’t kill the Moon Bow, it will be over. If we can’t kill him fast enough, the Tier 9 beast will overrun us. Hence, I will have to ask you to complete that duty."

Melody thought for a moment. "So, Team 1 will defend against the Tier 9 beast’s onslaught, while Team 2 will kill the Moon Bow before regrouping with us."

"Yes. It will be impossible for us to win against the Tier 9 beast without Mara with us. It’s simply because of the number of opponents we have to fight so far. So, Team 1 will be defending while trying to reduce their numbers as much as possible. Team 2 will be the key to our success." Clovis confirmed it.

They thought for a moment and somehow could agree with his reasoning.

Mara crossed her arms. "The problem is whether you can hold it long enough. This is an army we’re talking about. It won’t be easy to stop them without enough numbers. Are you trying to kill yourself?"

"Of course not. I do have a plan." Clovis smiled at Hana. "That’s why I call you here."

"Me?" Hana pointed at herself in confusion.

"Yep. I will need your help."

"What kind of help are you talking about? Money? You have enough for now."

"I need all your weapons, especially explosives, in your arsenal."

"Ahhh!" Hana suddenly understood what was going on.

"In addition, we also have a terrain advantage. Five kilometers from this tower is a hill, right?" Clovis smiled.

"Are you going to make a fortification?" Hana gasped.

"Yes. Thanks to the warehouses, basic fortification should be possible."

"I can actually procure some turrets for you." Hana raised her hand.

"I love you, darling." Clovis snapped his fingers.

He continued, "Basically, I will be making a few trips there before we launch the assault. I will begin by dropping the fortification and storing it in a safe place. Then, when we reach there, we will first arrange the fortification, then bait the Moon Bow before heading back to our fortification."

Mara looked down, falling into deep thought. "The key is speed. How fast can we defeat the Moon Bow? At the same time, if we use too much strength, we won’t have enough strength to defeat the Tier 9 beast."

"Exactly."

"What if we just lure them out and loop around?" Mara asked.

"I don’t think it’s a good idea." Clovis shook his head helplessly. "First, we will need the Moon Bow’s corpse. The second reason is to leave through this entrance. Because no one has entered this tower, the underworld should also be filled with a beast. There’s a chance a Tier 9 beast might be there as well.

"So, if we open up the path first, we will be able to leave without much problem. Third, the Tier 9 beast is to show a message to the entire world that we are ready to fight. We have more than enough manpower not only to kill the Moon Bow but also to kill the undefeated beast.

"Last but not least, the Prophet will definitely defend the Tower of the Lake to the point where a war will begin because of it. If we keep evading our enemy, we won’t be able to defeat the Prophet’s army. That’s why we will go with this." Clovis nodded with a resolute face.
