These soldiers were dressed in black armor, wielding Longswords, long spears, or bows and arrows, their faces stern and alert—clearly a well-trained elite force.
The fortress’s defenses were ticulously arranged, with nurous traps such as blade traps, poisonous arrow traps, and ground spike traps placed in the surrounding terrain, enough to make any careless intruder pay a heavy price.
In addition, there were nurous high towers and watchtowers within the fortress. These structures were designed with multiple offensive chanisms, including flathrowers, arrow barrages, and ice traps, capable of monitoring and attacking the exterior. They ford an extrely important defensive line for the fortress.
Beyond these impressive defensive capabilities, there were two formidable Generals within the fortress.
According to the initial information Chen Mo had received from the Heavenly Dao, he knew both of them.
These two Generals were a man and a woman. The woman was nad Serreya, a tall and imposing female warrior. She wore heavy Steel Armor and wielded a Longsword, its hilt inlaid with various jewels and gemstones that emitted a golden light. Her aura was haughty and her expression stern, making her a force to be reckoned with.
Serreya possessed outstanding close-combat and long-range skills, along with high-intensity lee capabilities. Notably, she possessed an extrely strong stagger resistance, making her very difficult to control and allowing her to rampage freely across the battlefield. Her strength far surpassed that of a Level 40 first-transition Golden BOSS.
Her skillset was far more complete than that of a typical Level 40 first-transition Golden BOSS, making her an incredibly tough opponent for any ordinary Level 40 first-transition challenger.
The other General, nad Baroque, was a slender male Mage. He wore a black Robe and held a Magic Wand crafted from magic crystals, the gemstones on which constantly flickered with lights of various colors.
Baroque was a masterful Mage, possessing powerful Magic Attack capabilities and unique control Skills, enabling him to manipulate the course of battle through Magic.
His aura was profound, his expression cold, giving off an unapproachable air of detachnt.
Baroque’s strength was similarly not to be underestimated; he could easily inflict terrifying, large-scale destruction with his Magic. His overall power was even greater than Serreya’s. Indeed, when it ca to suppressive ability and sheer destructive force, Serreya was no match for him.
In summary, Serreya and Baroque were both Generals of formidable strength and proud bearing. They represented the pinnacle of power in close combat and the Magic Domain, respectively, and would be the most difficult obstacles in conquering the fortress.
The terrifying difficulty of an SSS-level instance was evident even from this first task in the initial stage!
Chen Mo and Alina silently observed the fortress’s appearance and the strength of its defenders. A single glance was enough to tell them how absurdly strong the fortress’s defenses were.
Under normal circumstances, breaching this Solid fortress with a re 20,000 soldiers would be impossible; even with ten tis that number, the task would be daunting.
The difficulty of conquering this route truly lived up to Lilith’s claim of it being the most challenging one!
Although the fortress’s defensive capabilities were already quite absurd, they were ultimately useless because the enemy they faced was even more so.
Chen Mo commanded a three million-strong Skeleton Army. Paired with Alina’s replication, this beca a force of six million.
An army of 20,000 or even 200,000 might be powerless against this impregnable fortress.
But with six million troops, an army comparable to the fourth-transition level, even the most impregnable fortress would crumble like paper!
At Chen Mo’s ntal command, Undying Worship and Berserker Shield were applied to the three million Skeleton Monsters, and he imdiately ordered them to attack.
The three million Skeleton Monsters uniformly drew their bows or raised their Magic Wands, unleashing a torrential assault upon the fortress walls.
Knowing the fortress walls were constructed from Spirit Iron and that converting their attacks to siege damage wouldn’t increase the damage dealt, Chen Mo didn’t bother using the Almighty Converter.
Seeing Chen Mo order the attack, Alina imdiately activated her Illusion Creation Skill, replicating another three million Mirror Image Skeleton Monsters, which then launched their assault on the fortress.
However, because the Mirror Image Skeleton Monsters could not receive buffs, they were unable to gain the army-wide buff: All-Army Morale Boost. They did, however, effectively benefit from All-Army Morale Boost, Chen Mo’s Undying Worship, and the collected Skeleton Monster trait buffs. This wasn’t because they had actually received the buffs themselves, but because they had replicated Skeleton Monsters that were already buffed. According to the Illusion Creation Skill’s description, it duplicates the target unit’s attack-related attributes at the mont of casting. This was how they effectively received the buffs. However, any subsequent buffs Chen Mo cast on them would be useless, as they were inherently immune to any buff effects. Still, even without further buffs, their current attack attributes were already outrageously powerful.
Since these Mirror Image Skeleton Monsters could not benefit from an invisible mode, they spread out chaotically, jostling each other, imdiately after Alina replicated them.
This massive tide of Skeleton Monsters, appearing out of thin air like a gushing fountain, left the 20,000 soldiers observing from behind completely stunned.
Fortunately, Alina had Experience from her previous replication and quickly had this army of three million Skeleton Monsters reassemble their formation.
The three million Mirror Image Skeleton Monsters ford neat arrays around the fortress. Drawing their bows and brandishing their Magic Wands, they emitted sharp shrieks. Accompanied by the glow of Magic and a furious volley of arrows, they launched a frenzied assault on the fortress.
