"So beautiful," Lin Yi said, gazing at a giant stone embedded with a massive crystal.
This structure, known as the "Solar Guardian," cost him 300,000 coins, twenty second-level energy cores, five Towers of Light, and one altar.
Like the Tower of Light, the Solar Guardian collects magic value by absorbing sunlight, but due to so special upgrades, it can also passively restore magic value.
Unlike workshops, altars are solitary structures and can use other equipnt for upgrades.
Besides the Solar Guardian, they can also construct sothing that looks like coral but is made of crystal and emits multiple beams of light.
However, Lin Yi and Hubert decided they preferred a powerful, single beam strong enough to strike down giants.
The Solar Guardian requires at least three Towers of Light, and the more Towers of Light added, the larger it becos.
They eventually chose five Towers of Light.
This massive structure is adorned with ten diamonds known as "Solar Crystals."
[Solar Crystal]
Increases beam intensity by 10%, magic value recovery speed by 20%, and magic battery capacity by 40%.
Price: Two third-level energy cores, 20,000 coins.
They installed a total of six Solar Guardians, three on the west side near the island and three on the south side, in the direction of the vampires.
Anyone with Lin Yi’s permission can operate this giant stone.
The operation is very simple, just touch the control crystal to establish a connection with the device.
Your consciousness will transfer to the top of the giant stone, allowing you to choose targets, adjust intensity, and more.
The soldiers haven’t had ti to test the effectiveness of the Solar Guardian, and don’t even know if killing enemies with it can earn experience points and rewards.
Lin Yi initially planned to research the Light Altar, but there was no ti.
Solomon reported that the vampires were about to launch an attack.
It seems these vampires really have no other choice.
The first round of shelling had already been extrely destructive to them, but Lin Yi felt the vampires weren’t embarrassed enough, so another round of shelling was launched.
Also, the dragon launched a new assault.
Now, on the border line, a massive army composed of a large number of chiras and vampires had assembled.
All civilians were quickly evacuated into the castle because the enemy had a significant number of aerial units.
There were approximately 5,000 chiras of various shapes and sizes, and 200 vampires riding flying monsters.
The people in the shelter referred to these mounts as Pegasi because they resemble winged horses.
The last aerial battle clearly demonstrated that the dragons couldn’t protect the skies alone.
Even though they are powerful, without cover, they are quite vulnerable against agile and cunning enemies.
Immanuel was already discussing the purchase of anti-aircraft guns, but they didn’t know when the Aricans could deliver, and Lille’s stock wasn’t enough.
Therefore, Lin Yi decided it’s best to evacuate everyone as a precaution.
This ti, the enemy didn’t take a big risk like last ti, but instead dispatched a small group of chiras resembling small animals.
These chiras ran on all fours like animals, moving incredibly fast.
As soon as they reached the Steel Wall, they began digging in the dirt, looking for barrels containing burning compounds.
The vampires had already suffered enough from these things last ti; they didn’t want to fall into the sa trap again.
While the chiras were digging, an infantry squad suddenly appeared about 70 ters away from the wall and fired at the unsuspecting monsters.
Thirty monsters with thick, leather-like skin were instantly eradicated.
Then, these attackers simply vanished.
The vampires didn’t want to waste more troops, so they decided to probe the enemy’s defense in a simpler but more costly way.
A hundred fireballs flew toward the Steel Wall, followed by a series of violent explosions.
Hundreds of pounds of soil and dust were blasted into the sky.
The wall didn’t suffer substantial damage, but that wasn’t the point.
The explosions confird there were no traps near the wall, so the vampire vanguard began advancing.
They were massive 20-ter-tall chiras, clad in tal armor fortified by magic.
In terms of physical strength, they were comparable to third-level strong-type monsters.
Five hundred enormous creatures began striding toward the wall, followed by groups of mages surrounded by chira infantry with full-body shields.
Compared to the knights who attacked the shelter last ti, these squads were smaller.
There were one hundred infantry and twenty mages, but these chiras could use aura like the knights.
However, even from the wall, it was evident that their skill level wouldn’t exceed the second level.
Archer from the shelter appeared on the other side of the wall, imdiately opening fire on these giants.
These massive chiras were well-protected, especially their vital parts.
All their armor was fortified by magic; although these materials seed inferior to humans, they still offered decent protection.
The AP-4 rifle really showed off here.
Despite the magical fortification, the armor of these beasts was quickly torn apart, turning into heavy scraps that hindered the giants’ movent.
The vampire mages continually cast magic at the defenders, and unlike bullets, it’s not easy to let magic bypass the wall.
All these magical attacks just collided with an energy do generated by a fourth-level device called "Siege Barrier."
The shelter had 21 such devices.
For this battle, all portable scanners had been converted into barriers.
Each barrier had four slots for placing third-level energy cores and ten slots for placing second-level energy cores.
The size of the do could be controlled, and after testing, they determined that a diater of 150 ters struck the perfect balance between durability and energy consumption.
Bullets fired from the AP-4 rifle passed through the Siege Barrier, striking the giants who had reached the wall and started to breach it.
As soon as a hole appeared in the wall, a swarm of chiras imdiately rushed over.
They had trunks of so large, scaly animal, long and muscular arms and legs, and human-like heads.
These creatures ran on all fours, extrely fast.
Hubert monitored the situation closely, and at his command, the infantry stopped attacking the giants and vampires, targeting this suicide squad instead.
Their 800 guns, with electromagnetic-guided bullets, could penetrate anything.
The soldiers’ fire concentrated intensely, tearing the chiras’ bodies into shreds, with even their corpses still dropping limbs and large chunks of flesh.
Until they turned into a shapeless pile of flesh on the ground, the agony ended.
Yet, these utterly fearless creatures continued to attack relentlessly.
Every second, at least a hundred companions fell.
Nonetheless, this suicide squad managed to buy the giants enough ti to destroy several sections of the wall again.
The gaps in the shelter’s defenses were becoming bigger...
