The casualty rate is very low in terms of proportion.

Each lord on average suffered the loss of half a soldier, but the gains were huge.

Basically, everyone reaped between one to two thousand points to tens of thousands of points.

Of course, in this wave of defensive battle, the biggest solo beneficiary was Zong Shen.

Because he had the most soldiers, and the defense towers in the territory, especially the [Giant Cannon Tower] caused considerable damage, basically all the warriors in the territory leveled up one or two levels.

Even Zong Shen did so, leveling up to lv25[Experience Value: 23791/76125].

His points gained massively, with his points balance going from over ninety thousand points to over one hundred eighty-seven thousand points.

A rough estimate indicates that Zong Shen's side eliminated at least twenty thousand Burrow Monster Swarm in this round.

Of course, the Burrow Heroes slain by Zong Shen also contributed a lot of points.

In the last clean-up just now, Zong Shen almost used all his strength to snatch monsters, striving to kill more Burrow Monsters.

Including one Wailing Lich that was more troublesome dead than alive.

Once this thing explodes, the Death Withering area forms, and Zong Shen can suffer damage of 12 points per second (1253×4%) - 38 (Magic Resistance).

Among the eight remaining Burrow Heroes, Zong Shen directly killed five!

Not only did he gain 5[Basic Challenge Fragment] but also increased 3 points in Strength Attribute, directly raising his Strength Attribute to 90 points, and his Life Value Limit from 1253 to 1268 points.

Meanwhile, he overflowed with more than a thousand extraction value points!

Up to now, Zong Shen has acquired 20[Basic Challenge Fragment], and ever since he put on the [Ring of Strength Demon (Red)] days ago, he has accumulated an 18-point enhancement in Strength Attribute through the skill of Strength Extraction.

This enhancement value is roughly equivalent to a Rare Level jewelry equipment plus an Excellent Level jewelry equipment, though this is because currently, it's during the Burrow Challenge monster spawning bonus period. Once noon passes, it's impossible to easily spawn monsters like this again.

Now, the Burrow Monsters on the periphery of the territory have been completely eradicated, the other Burrow Monster Swarm are still on the way, and now the target is the Netherworld Snake Apophis.

Almost all the lords have gathered their warriors towards the northern side of the territory.

The Mages begin to adjust in meditation, and the damaged Close Combat Soldiers gather near the north gate, slowly self-healing while receiving treatment from the [Holy Light Tower].

The Magic Energy Mechanical Falcon is still monitoring the state of the Netherworld Snake Apophis.

All the lords either look up at the projection above the territory or directly focus their gaze northward, staring at the Mythical Great Serpent, with no one intending to take the lead.

Zong Shen instructed Marie to disable the [Giant Cannon Tower]'s automatic firing to avoid the explosion damage from the Magic Energy Giant Cannon impacting the upcoming snake-slaying operation.

He directly had her bring San Pang to control the two [Crossbow Towers] for sustained attack against the Netherworld Snake Apophis.

Meanwhile, he began to gather his troops, and Korby also brought the mixed forces of the Wolf Cavalry under his legion members over to Zong Shen's side.

Everyone's condition was overall quite good, and after a slight adjustment, they would be ready to face a new round of battle.

Zong Shen gave Korby a nod, the latter immediately understood, and pointed out three Wolf Cavalry to enter the territory with him. Each of them fetched a Wailing Lich captive wrapped up like a dumpling to Zong Shen.

There were altogether four Wailing Lich, all deliberately captured by Zong Shen before.

He captured the Wailing Lich intending to conduct a bold experiment.

If this experiment succeeds, then the Netherworld Snake Apophis is destined to meet its end.

Zong Shen called for Pigsy, mounted on it, and took one Wailing Lich, holding it in his hand.

The remaining three were carried by the Wolf Cavalry. He instructed the surrounding warriors to do their final preparations, ready to promptly launch an attack against the Netherworld Snake Apophis.

This is when Alanna emerged from the territory, her face masked with a veil.

She was holding a large purple leather pouch in her hands.

"Master, the leather bag you requested me to sew is completed."

"Please inspect it to see if there are any modifications required."

Alanna lowered her head and raised the pouch towards Zong Shen, who was riding on Pigsy.

Zong Shen received it, opened the pouch, and checked its size and capacity; confirming they were accurate, he nodded in satisfaction.

Alanna's sewing skills were indeed excellent, the pouch was sewn meticulously, including the edge which used a finishing technique, and the item's attribute had changed from material to a piece of Special Equipment.

Zong Shen put it away, took off his battle helmet, and smiled in acknowledgment towards Alanna.

"This is very well done, exactly as I requested."

"Thank you for your hard work, Alanna."

"Your tailoring skills proved very useful in this instance."

Zong Shen praised generously, Alanna smiled slightly, the veil concealing her ugly face, only allowing two eyebrows to arch like crescent moons to be seen.

His praise of her tailoring skills was dearly appreciated by her.

She bowed slightly to Zong Shen, retreated a few steps, and turned back into the territory.

Over here, Zong Shen had his troops ready.

With the exception of the Kobolds, the entire army advanced!

He wore his battle helmet, took the Wailing Lich, and led the charge on Pigsy towards the Netherworld Snake Apophis.
