Tower Defense Lord from Earth

Chapter 39 The Fool Bought an Airship

In the Lost Temple, in the dimly lit underground hall, the kobold princess Hua Xiaolan crouched in the pool where the Fountain of Life had gathered.

She was in a very bad mood!

As the only royal descendant of the kobold race, she shoulders the mission of reviving kobold civilization. After several days of hard work, she has already recruited more than half of the kobolds in the temple.

However, wild kobolds need to guard the temple and cannot stray far, so Hua Xiaolan cannot send them to attack the Tower Defense Lord's base yet.

The kobolds that she could truly control were those she personally "cultivated".

This upbringing, to be more precise, is biological!

As the eldest princess of the kobolds, Hua Xiaolan possesses a skill called "Laying Eggs".

As the name suggests, this skill allows Hua Xiaolan to lay kobold eggs in a similar way to a large-scale hatching process. These kobold eggs are then placed in the Fountain of Life, where they will hatch into kobolds in a short time.

To put it bluntly, this is a peculiar way of recruiting soldiers, and what it consumes is not gold coins and wood, but food.

Once Hua Xiaolan had eaten her fill and received adequate nutrition, she felt the urge to lay an egg.

At first, Hua Xiaolan was very resistant to this skill, finding it both disgusting and evil.

But after the first time, Hua Xiaolan felt relieved and thought it wasn't a big deal. Laying eggs and building towers in Tower Defense Lord are essentially not much different; it's just a cutscene, not a real thing.

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

Green bubbles rose from the pool, and Hua Xiaolan stood up, producing a green-skinned dog-headed egg the size of a basketball.

The kobold egg has a countdown timer on top, meaning that a kobold will hatch in two hours.

The newly hatched kobolds are level one, and there are many ancient warehouses in the dungeon. Hua Xiaolan has already opened one of them by solving a puzzle. Inside, there are some gold coins and a large number of [Heavy Kobold Archer Standard Equipment].

Newborn kobolds who acquire this equipment will immediately become level 2 heavy kobold archers.

The five level-two heavy armor kobold archers that Hua Xiaolan took to the war before were trained in this way. For this, she ate 20 dried rat pieces.

"Damn it, we've run out of dried rats! No food left! We can't lay eggs if we're not full! I'm out of resources!"

Hua Xiaolan muttered to herself, feeling more and more that her five heavily armored kobold archers had died unjustly.

"I was so proud. If I had known this would happen, I should have just stayed put a little longer..."

Hua Xiaolan silently reflected on her actions.

"I'm on the path of a monster lord, which means I can lead an army of monsters in the future. The key resource is food, but there's absolutely no food in this underground palace..."

Hua Xiaolan is now eagerly awaiting the arrival of the donkey pulling the cart. She needs to develop her military strength, and that requires the help of rats!

It was already dark when Liu Huasheng left Hill 3 and used a teleportation talisman to return to his own Chaos City.

In his opinion, the Spider Fairy Tower was quite good. Its attacks relied entirely on the Spider Fairy, which could summon up to 77 spiders. If it were to unleash its full power, its damage per second could reach 770, and it also had a chance to stun and knock down enemies.

Putting aside the firepower, the Spider Fairy summoned by this tower is incredibly beautiful, which is Liu Huasheng's favorite!

Late at night, Guan Zhengxing returned, and Liu Huasheng and he spent two hours in the city defense hall comparing strategic maps and discussing the matter.

Guan Zhengxing brought back a lot of information, and after his confirmation, the sixth brother who went to the island to develop was indeed Ma Xianlong.

This guy seems to be planning to use Chaos City to attack the monster strongholds on the island mine.

The monsters in that stronghold were extremely powerful, including a level 9 corundum golem, two level 6 granite golems, two level 6 bipedal red dragons, four level 5 basalt golems, and eight level 2 tree demon hunters.

Because of the presence of such a powerful monster, Ma Xianlong was very wary and dared not provoke it rashly.

Liu Huasheng also learned from Guan Zhengxing that Ma Xianlong had upgraded Chaos City to the second level.

"That bastard Ma Xianlong has already cut off our economic resources, so he'll definitely want to start mining. Right now, he's stuck on the island saving up stamina to build towers, and he'll definitely use the second-tier Chaos City to attack monster strongholds later..."

Guan Zhengxing said to Liu Huasheng, "Boss, I'm going to keep a close eye on Ma Xianlong and make sure he doesn't get away with jungling!"

"No rush, no rush, let's rest a bit before we go. By the way, there are rooms in the newly opened secret realm, the Demon Mountain Hunting Grounds, but it seems you can't go in yet. You can just make do and rest in the lobby for a bit..."

Liu Huasheng spoke while sighing.

He's short of money right now, otherwise he could buy an airship, lead his troops to the island, and kill Ma Xianlong on the spot, saving him from all his trouble.

In fact, Liu Huasheng is competitive at heart. Now he is obsessively thinking about Lao Liu Ma Xianlong, which makes him very uncomfortable.

At that moment, Wang Shuaibo suddenly rushed into the city defense hall and shouted, "Important intelligence!"

"What important intelligence?"

Liu Huasheng was startled. He knew that Wang Shuaibo was keeping an eye on Sima Zhen, and that he must have something important to do by running back in the middle of the night.

Wang Shuaibo said, "A wild monster defected to Sima Zhen, probably bringing him important information. That big idiot led his troops out at night, found the engineering shop at the 11 o'clock position on the map, and bought the [Steel Ripper], three [Suicide Dolls], and a [Floating Airship] while under artillery fire. Then he flew away in the airship, saying he was going to the island..."

"What?" Liu Huasheng raised an eyebrow. "This guy's that rich? How much did he spend this time? Twenty-one thousand!"

Wang Shuaibo said, "That's right! That idiot Sima is super rich. His Chaos City is on High Ground 7, and it's already reached LV2. He has 16 defensive towers, eight of which are ice towers, and at least a hundred laborers, but he only occupies one mine. It must be because his family is powerful and provides generous subsidies, so he started with a lot of gold coins!"

Guan Zhengxing asked, "Brother Wolf King said a wild monster has defected to Sima Zhen. What kind of wild monster?"

Wang Shuaibo said, "I didn't explain clearly. She was a wild monster player named Qin Wuman. She was originally the lord of the fourth high ground, but I killed her, and she transformed into an Ice Crystal Butterfly!"

"Qin Wuman!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Huasheng silently took note.

At this point, he knew all the players in Lostamp.

"Wang Shuaibo and Guan Zhengxing have been recruited, Ma Xianlong has gone to the island, and Sima Zhen has bought an airship! Hua Xiaolan is now very likely a kobold who can dig holes and burrow underground, Qin Wuman has changed her class to Ice Crystal Butterfly! And there's Zhou Shuqi, who should be the lord of Hill 8, and has become a crow..."

Liu Huasheng narrowed his eyes and asked again, "Which island did Sima Zhen go to?"

"On Southeast Island, he was cursing and swearing, saying he was going to get revenge on Ma Xianlong!"

"Hmm? This Sima is really too brave!"

Liu Huasheng became interested upon hearing this. Sima Zhen was actually going to do something that he hadn't even done yet. It would be quite interesting if these two guys were to fight.

"Ah-Xing, you can fly, so all the intelligence on the island depends on you. While there's still some time, go and rest. Let's set off early tomorrow morning after we've had some ramen..."

Liu Huasheng discussed with Guan Zhengxing and Wang Shuaibo for a while, then dozed off for a few hours. The next day, before dawn, he got up and went to the Demon Mountain Hunting Ground and the Mystic Pig Farm. It was only seven o'clock!

He opened the Chaos City information panel. Today's resources had arrived: 2500 gold coins, 6900 wood, and his stamina had been fully restored.

"Hello everyone, this is 7:00 AM on January 8th of the Starry Sky Calendar. This is Chaos City Radio Station (SYQ31319022), bringing you joy. Next up is our daily song segment, please enjoy 'I Want to Become an Immortal'..."

The Demon Sound Tower began broadcasting map information. Liu Huasheng walked out of Chaos City, facing the rising sun, and said, "A beautiful day begins with building towers. Let's see today's amazing defensive towers!"
