Chapter 898 - 530: Challenge Begins, Heading to the Boss Location

Marie and Hoy also bowed repeatedly, indicating that they understood.

Zong Shen did not say more, and nodded in response.

Then he turned his attention to Wenresa.

"Wenresa, have the Moon God Spring and Magic Spring been distributed?"

After being called out by Zong Shen, Wenresa stepped forward and meticulously reported.

"Reporting to you, the new batch of spring water has been fully distributed."

"According to your instructions, each warrior has been allocated the corresponding quantity of Moon God Spring based on their tier."

"Each mage has similarly been allocated the corresponding quantity of Magic Spring based on their tier."

"All the spring water has been distributed in place."

Upon hearing her response, Zong Shen nodded.

"Very well, I understand."

After Wenresa finished her report, she returned to her original position, standing upright.

At this time, Zong Shen took out the [Magic Storage Bottle (Blue)] and gave it to the Wind God’s Favored, Kanigia.

He also took out the Excellent Level shield he got from the previous box, and handed it to the Rodok Soldier.

The shields of the four Rodok Soldiers had become tattered, and there was only one here, making a full armor replacement impossible; they could only decide among themselves who should first use the intact shield.

Just as he handed the shield to Ricardo.

His vision was suddenly filled with a white light.

Zong Shen felt a movement in his heart, knowing that a Time Stop state had arrived.

[Heat Wave Challenge has officially begun]

[The temperature in each region has been calibrated]

[Certain areas will undergo special trait effects]

[The Flame Demon Boss will spawn at a random location five minutes after the Time Stop ends]

[The Time Stop state will last for one minute]

The announcement subtitles were simple, with only a few lines.

No adjustments were shown in the rules.

This indicated that when the Heat Wave Challenge started, the overall progress of the Lords was still within the Lord System’s estimations.

Otherwise, it would surely take the opportunity to patch things up.

The one-minute Stop Time quickly ended.

As soon as Zong Shen regained control of his body,

everything returned to normal.

Only Zong Shen knew that the challenge had officially begun.

In another five minutes, the Flame Demon Boss would descend within the area.

The location of this descent was random.

The final decision would only be made at the last moment.

So the guide module could not provide an exact answer either.

All they could do was wait quietly for the Boss to arrive.

Zong Shen took out three Burden-Bearer Mechas, and also instructed Marie to bring out the goblin airship.

The area within was not small; who knew where the Flame Demon Boss would descend.

They had to be prepared to travel one or two hundred kilometers.

In fact, there was a faster way.

That was for Zong Shen to take the Griffin Squad to the Flame Demon’s landing site first.

Then use the [Thousand Kilometer Teleportation Gate (Orange)] to select the territory’s space beacon to open the gate.

Each time the teleportation gate is opened, it can last for five minutes.

It’s enough time for the warriors to cross the teleportation gate and reach the destination.

We’ll see when the time comes!

If the Flame Demon Boss is more than 60 kilometers from the territory, then Zong Shen will do just that.

If it’s close, the Burden-Bearer Mechas can arrive in one or two hours, just saving one use of the teleportation gate.

After all, the Boss can exist for nearly 24 hours.

They had plenty of time to make the journey.

The first 30% of the Flame Demon Boss’s Life Value is the easiest to fight.

Because when its Life Value is above 70%, it does not intend to attack.

It’s like a scarecrow standing waiting to be hit.

Afterwards, the difficulty of the attack will gradually increase as its Life Value decreases.

This means that the risk will gradually rise too.

As for the extra reward for the first attack, Zong Shen didn’t count on it.

This reward depends on luck.

Whoever is closest to the Flame Demon’s landing site will have the chance to earn the first attack reward.

And the final blow involves both luck and strength.

With the elite soldiers in hand, Zong Shen still had some confidence.

Taking advantage of the few minutes of cooling time before the Boss’s arrival.

Zong Shen took out the Recruitment Scroll he obtained earlier.

[Wolf Cavalry Recruitment Scroll ×13]

[Fire Mage Recruitment Scroll ×3]

[Earth Mage Recruitment Scroll ×2]

Zong Shen selected them in batches and chose to use them all at once.

A dozen light cocoons fell, connecting the space singularity, summoning the warriors sealed within the dimension.

The number of Wolf Cavalry increased from 75 to 88.

The number of Fire Mages also became 8, needing four more to form a full squad.

The Earth Mages increased to 4, with the number of various troop types gradually increasing.

Eventually forming the specifications of a squad and even a platoon.

Zong Shen still adopted the method of having veterans lead the newcomers, integrating these new warriors into the team.

The Wolf Cavalry now formed seven full squads with several extra members.

Korby, having gained much experience in Command and Management over this time.

Personally welcomed the thirteen new Wolf Cavalry Warriors.

He broke up the existing teams, splitting off one or two veterans from each team to incorporate the newcomers.

Then reformed the veterans into a new squad.

This allowed the veterans to guide the newcomers and help them quickly integrate into the territory.

Zong Shen noticed that among the Wolf Cavalry, five of them mounted taller Tier Three Giant Wolves.

These Giant Wolves should have been the mounts of the Tier Three Giant Wolf Knights.

They came from the [Giant Wolf’s Nest] building.

Every week, five Tier Three Giant Wolves could be recruited.

Each Giant Wolf would occupy one Command Value.

It seemed that Marie had actively recruited them after the [Giant Wolf’s Nest] was constructed.
