Global Lords: My Heroes Grow Infinitely

Chapter 153: Chapter 146: Narrow Path Encounter

This is the sixth territory conquered by Rosen. Compared to Tang Xichen, he’s far ahead. At this time, Tang Xichen was still developing his army within his territory, while Rosen had advanced five kilometers ahead.

Just as Tang Xichen finally led a group of second-tier troops down from the hillside, searching for Rosen, he unexpectedly found the area below the highland to be so quiet, and there were quite a few free resource gathering points around.

"It seems we’ve been placed in a very good position," Tang Xichen remarked without hesitation.

Good gracious, so did Tang Xichen not see the territory Rosen worked hard to conquer?

However, Rosen didn’t bother to explain anything, as it simply wasn’t worth it.

Following this, when Tang Xichen sent workers to occupy the gold mine Rosen had already captured, and they shared resource points, Tang Xichen’s expression subtly changed.

"These resource points clearly show signs of destruction around them. It seems that before I came down from the highland, Xiaozhang was waging war outside. With so many gold mines, how many lords did he kill, and how many territories did he destroy?"

Tang Xichen was slightly surprised in his heart and even felt a sense of security from being protected.

However, he had high expectations for himself and felt quite resistant to this feeling of being protected, quickly pushing this sense of comfort to the back of his mind.

"Xiaozhang, I’m really sorry for the trouble before. From now on, it’s my turn to exert myself. You guard the territory first, let me handle it," Tang Xichen sought balance and said.

"Alright, I’ll stockpile more troops. Don’t push yourself. If things don’t go well, just retreat," Rosen briefly instructed, then went back to the barracks to upgrade his troops.

This time, the upgrade resulted in an estimated five hundred more troops.

And as expected, by tonight, the main city could be upgraded to a level three main city again.

Just when Tang Xichen led a group of about three hundred Angel Army out to hunt, Rosen was a bit bored guarding their shared territory.

The road up to the highland was the only one, conveniently located near the abyss’s exit in the Undead Territory. Rosen just needed to have his army guard the entrance to the abyss passage, and he could single-handedly guard both sides.

Theoretically, guarding the home front is very important, otherwise, no matter how brave the army is fighting around, if they return only to find their home taken by others, it would be a huge grievance.

"Given the size of Xichen’s army, he might be able to return within the hour. By then, I can go out and wage war, repeating the process to expand the territory," Rosen thought.

With enough momentum early on, they won’t be stretched thin later. To win a championship match, they must not lose at the start.

Otherwise, it would be hard to rise again later.

The mountain where Rosen and Tang Xichen’s territory was located also had a passage leading to the rear of the mountain nearby.

Separated by one mountain peak, and with several territories in front initially, both hadn’t noticed any threat from behind the mountain, disregarding it for a moment.

Until Rosen was guarding the pass and he found that wind blades of various sizes were shooting out from the rightside passage!

Continuously slicing towards the Undead army under Rosen’s command.

It seemed like a long-range attack from a hundred meters away.

"Coming from the side, could it be an enemy from behind the mountain?" Rosen instantly became alert, his gaze directed towards where the attack was coming from.

As a reflexive counterattack, the Undead Army also launched its own long-range assault in the direction of the attack.

Monks filled with hatred released suspenseful ghostly energy, forming a swarm of dark flames, pushing into the dense forest.

The forest echoed with the anguished cries of the enemy, indicating that the mental damage from the monks’ attacks was effective.

Meanwhile, the butchers under Rosen’s command charged deeper into the forest, attempting to extract the enemy hiding within.

Seeing this, Rosen hastily ordered the butchers who had entered the forest on their own to fall back.

Judging by the density of the wind blades, the enemy numbered at least three hundred, sending less than a hundred of his butchers would merely make them targets.

Even with both butchers and monks, they numbered just over two hundred, not exactly a guaranteed victory.

Maintaining the attack on the enemy in the forest by the monks, only after the butchers returned did Rosen transform into a Frost Dragon Knight, flying high above towards the dense part of the forest in search of the enemy’s main force.

A fiery breath descended, engulfing a large swath of trees, exposing the wind attribute army hidden beneath.

"A pure wind attribute army. Could it be that the enemy lord is that Wind Lord?" Rosen speculated.

Though the probability of encountering the same person was small, it was still possible, and there weren’t many lords with a purely wind attribute army.

Just as the wind attribute army was exposed, so was Rosen’s position, facing a barrage of wind blade attacks.

To this, Rosen calmly flapped his wings, dodging the incoming wind blades.

Continuously launching breaths downward.

The wind fueled the fire, the flames easily burning the wind blades, forming a sea of fire. The trees below were quickly burned into a bare, charred expanse.

Simultaneously, the wind attribute army in the forest scattered like cockroaches uncovered from a hiding stone.

Seeing the direction in which the wind attribute army was retreating, numbering only about thirty, far from a main force, Rosen pursued them.

Soon, a vast army of about three hundred members of the Wind Legion appeared!

The leading Wind Lord was the same one who suffered defeat in the last solo match against Ye Yuxuan.

Unexpectedly, there was also a Flame Army among the Wind Legion, though slightly less in number.

"Wow, the Wind Lord teamed up with Qianhuo and started off so close to mine and Xichen’s territory!"

Seeing the enemy troops’ numbers, and recognizing old acquaintances, Rosen became wary.

Given the current disparity in their army sizes, victory seemed unlikely for Rosen and Tang Xichen.

Of course, if the three hundred second-tier troops from Rosen’s barracks were summoned, victory was still possible.

This meant he needed to buy some time.

"Boss Qianhuo, look, it’s a Frost Giant Dragon!" The Wind Lord looked up at the unexpected assailant who attacked their vanguard.

"Indeed, it’s a Frost Giant Dragon, and very familiar, could it be the one from the last solo match that invaded our territory?" Qianhuo’s eyes squinted in thought, reminded of the past defeat, feeling a sense of failure.

Internally, panic also arose.

"Not good, is this the unit invited by the Tang Family?!" Qianhuo became nervous.

They had planned well to develop on this map, giving a strong impression once the enemy teleported over. But they didn’t expect the opponent to start on this map, making things difficult.

In other words, their previously simulated advantage was now ineffective.

"Boss Qianhuo, should we fight?" the Wind Lord asked.

"There’s no choice but to fight, but it might not be that person, maybe it’s just similar troops!"
