Chapter 134: Enemy Attack!

"Handled, my this…"

As Qin Muye observed the newly formed biological weapons, an earth-shattering tremor interrupted his thoughts suddenly.

If Tian Qi hadn't been quick to lend support, he might have fallen flat.

"What's happening?" Only when things finally calmed down did Qin Muye speak gravely: "I just felt a fluctuation with Mysterious Lock."

"Don't worry, master. Black Hand should be reporting the situation very soon."

"Although our territory lost ten thousand troops, we still have other forces."

Tian Qi advised a word of caution, noticing that Qin Muye was a bit panicked, which was normal considering that this was the first assault at his doorstep since the previous monster siege.

Qin Muye had not experienced many great events. Matters of war and diplomacy were handled by others, and his life was quite comfortable, so feeling panicked was quite normal for him since he was not one of those top-ranked Lords.

Soon, Black Hand arrived with quite a few Spirit Monsters as bodyguards.

"Master, foreign enemies are attacking, you should move to the underground Supplies Warehouse first. Diseases and white doves are already cleaning up the enemies. It's some lord from Wasteland City; I don't know where they got the spatial coordinates to anchor our territory."

"The first time they were stopped by Mysterious Lock, the second time they were sent back through the super-space channel's Space Corridor, and the third time they anchored near us which finally allowed them to successfully teleport over."

Black Hand handed the Crimson Mage Set over for Qin Muye to wear.

The huge noise and vibrations were caused by the previous two teleports; otherwise, such disturbances wouldn't have occurred.

As for Plague and Dove, both were rare professions; the former, a Plague Shooter upgraded from the Archer profession, and the latter a War Knight, originally of the Knight profession.

If they weren't heading to the Rich Ocean, there would have been doves accompanying this mission; Plague, typically a part of the City Defense, rarely advances with the army. Besides, there were others like Tie Gu, the Heavy Shield Guard, and Black Pupils, the Earth Elemental Master, among other heroes, who were now all mobilized.

Levels are not low, although they only get 15000 experience points a day, enduring over time even could grind out levels.

Adding his unique troop types and various pieces of equipment, all being strong in combat and further boosted by the Holy Blood Bottle and other Divine Artifacts like the Evangelist, any adversary below sixth level ascending to his lands would meet their demise here.

Moreover, Qin Muye's local defensive capabilities were also strong, from Enchanted Laser Cannons to Red Prison Cruise Missiles and so on; these were all non-for-sale products from the Crimson System arsenal.

Attacking an arms dealer, especially one whose warehouse was stocked with a vast amount of arms, was simply a suicidal move.

"Good, after this is over, find out who betrayed us." Qin Muye, under heavy protection, arrived at the Supplies Warehouse located in the Mage Tower's basement, which had already been fortified with various protections, even employing abundant Level 5 Defense Magic.

"Rest assured, master. After we kill this invading group, I will find out and certainly give you a satisfactory explanation." The Black Hand spoke respectfully, but also harbored a sense of murderous intent. If someone hadn't provided the space coordinates, direct teleportation would've been impossible.

For a decapitation strategy, if Qin Muye could use it, so could others.

It wasn't as if teleportation was his only Treasure or magic.

Without spatial coordinates, even treasures or magic would make it impossible to locate them; only a few individuals providing coordinates made it possible.

If it weren't for the Mysterious Lock, the enemy would have teleported directly into the territory unprepared, surely causing substantial losses.

"Good, and make sure to hit them hard; otherwise, they really think we're just an arms dealer." Qin Muye also held a breath in his chest.

Although he was dealing in arms and luxury goods, since the last time he wiped out the Silver Star Alliance to set an example, he hadn't sought external expansion, with most of his activities concentrated on the Red Wind Plain.

It was unexpected that someone would betray his spatial coordinates.

To those who have never been to his territory, spatial coordinates indeed are a mystery, but those who have visited and possess the corresponding knowledge can usually calculate them.

Military arms were something everyone engaged in, and he was willing to sell them. Although a bit greedy, his Crimson System arms provided even the smaller forces with the ability to defend themselves, which arguably made people covet them. However, it was probably the technology behind his Crimson System arms that they wanted more.

After Black Hand made arrangements for Qin Muye, he naturally left quickly to continue his duties.

Qin Muye's mind was also constantly pondering, not about biological weapon technology, but how to improve the Mysterious Lock.

The first issue was the limitation; the enemy could not teleport directly into his territory but could choose a location just outside of it.

"The Space Corridor is still too merciful." Qin Muye squinted his eyes—the previous two failures were not enough to deter the enemy, indicating that their intent was to kill him.

Therefore, on the third venture, he had to strike with lethal force.

"Once this is over, Mysterious Lock's targeting of space technology needs an upgrade, just kill them outright."

Although the Floating City's lack of facilities prevented stronger spatial responses, it did not mean Qin Muye had to stick with the original methods.

It was entirely possible to develop the corresponding technology independently.

If it weren't for this direct strike, he might not have developed such a vigilant mindset. It's good that this hidden danger erupted sooner.

His Mysterious Lock had sufficient protective power, but it lacked in retaliatory strength.

So, it was crucial to make up for it quickly.

"I was still too naive, many things simply can't be fully anticipated. By leaving room for others, I just set myself up for a downfall."

He thought with such powerful figures at the forefront, he would be safe, but he ignored how much his arms dealings provided substantial firepower to the Magic Continent Server, making him seem low-profile, but actually quite high-profile. Any envious or jealous individuals who deliberately leaked his information naturally attracted those who wanted him dead.

With such a lucrative business and massive benefits, naturally, many native residents coveted them, perceiving that if Qin Muye were dead, they could carve up his profits. However, they never considered that without Qin Muye, the Crimson System arms could not be produced at all.

But if they truly had the numbers, they wouldn't resort to such a foolish method of using a borrowed knife to kill.

As for the Lords? Truthfully, they had no need to betray Qin Muye, as his arms were a great support to any Lord; now was not the time for internal strife. Indulging in such would only benefit the Lords from other servers, a loss far outweighing any gain.

To the indigenous people, at most it meant changing a king, which they didn't care about, but for the lords, failure meant death, just like raising gu; how could they possibly cut off their own arm at such a time?

Only the native residents could do such a deed, after all, they wouldn't die from losing.

As the disturbances outside grew louder, even the Mysterious Lock began to tremble repeatedly, Qin Muye knew that it meant a significant number of Lords had teleported over for the siege.

The Lords of the Magic Continent knew that without Qin Muye, it was like losing an arm, and naturally, the Lords from other servers knew this too.

"It seems there was premeditation…"

The True Dragon Emperor had left not two days ago, and to have him besieged was clearly a premeditated act.

"Heh, a bunch of fools."

After a brief period of panic, Qin Muye calmed down, feeling genuinely unconcerned, confident in his victory; the real nightmare for his enemies would begin once the Spirit Monsters initiated bleeding.

A thousand attack Spirit Monster? Under the Holy Blood Bottle's enhancement, the Dragon Blood Spirit Monster could reach ten thousand in attack. It wasn't just a problem for the fifth levels, even sixth levels might struggle if hit by one, not to mention that there are ranged troops in the current territory.

Even if one didn't know about the sixth-tier attributes, how much could he possibly increase his defense to five figures?

Even those lordly figures, how could their heroes and troops possibly have this capacity? If they truly had such capability, how could divine beings still survive? They would have been dragged down and turned into dogs long ago.

"The forces besieging us are most likely from the Wasteland City and Zombie Kingdom, only Jiang Tianjun is left in the Mysterious Village server while Rich Ocean is struggling on its own, nearly killed by the True Dragon Emperor; as for Extreme Cold Ice Land, even without Jiang Tianjun targeting them, they wouldn't normally interfere given their situation."

"Humph, once this is over, send them some fireworks."

Qin Muye had cruise missiles at his disposal. If they could target Qin Muye with a head-on assault, he could certainly respond with a hundred or so missiles as a return gift.

Otherwise, wouldn't it seem like he was weak and anyone could slap him?
