Qiyalu, who was eating the last few bites of Roasted Meat, hurried her chewing when she heard the Lord's call, swallowing the final piece of meat.
Then, carrying the Great Cannon that was completely disproportionate to her small body, she arrived before Wu Feng: "Lord, you called for me?"
Wu Feng nodded: "Qiyalu, head to the northwest border of our Territory and assist Vigus with the defense, eliminating the Demons attacking the Defense Line."
Qiyalu, now full, was full of energy. She secretly stuffed the last remaining Roasted Meat into her pocket, then thumped her chest to guarantee to the Lord: "Lord, Qiyalu is very formidable, please entrust this to me!"
Compared to Vigus's magnificent bosom, Qiyalu's chest was quite flat. She then dragged the Dragon Soul Great Cannon, clanging and banging, toward the Canyon direction.
Currently, near the Lord's Heart, a large number of Demonic Monsters were also continuously appearing, but with the Star Cluster Tower present, there wasn't much pressure for the time being.
It was better to let Qiyalu support the more dangerous Canyon Defense Line; two Orange Heroes plus an Orange Tower Defense should be able to hold that area regardless.
Wu Feng also sent a group of White Craftsmen summoned from a Summoning Scroll to accompany Qiyalu; their job was to repair the Defense Towers and preserve them as much as possible.
When Qiyalu arrived at the Canyon Defense Line, this Orange Hero immediately garrisoned the Tower of Death and entered the Great Cannon Bombardment state.
This state is triggered upon garrisoning a Defense Tower. It enhances Qiyalu's attack and Range based on the Defense Tower's Quality; the higher the Tower Quality, the greater the bonus. And the Tower of Death is an Orange Tower Defense!
Qiyalu arrived at the top of the Tower of Death. This tall tower, covered in Death Aura, already had 4 Soul Rings, increasing its attack and Range by 4%.
Qiyalu patted the tall, sturdy City Wall, her eyes lighting up: "This Defense Tower is sturdy enough, so I can set the little guy to its maximum size!"
As she spoke, she set up the Dragon Soul Great Cannon. The 'little guy' she mentioned immediately magnified its scale! The muzzle doubled in size, and the length also increased by more than double—this was completely a super Great Cannon!
Just the pitch-black muzzle looked incredibly terrifying, and Qiyalu proved with her actions that bigger is better!
After setting up the Great Cannon, Qiyalu aimed at a flock of Harpy Demons flying in the distance. She fired a shot fiercely. The massive Cannonball flew out and exploded mid-air, instantly killing over 20 Harpy Demons.
These were Level 15 Demons! Their level was much higher than Qiyalu's.
On the Tower of Death, Qiyalu's Range and Attack were doubled. She could obliterate enemies from a distance of 1000 meters, preventing the Harpy Demons from even approaching the Defense Line.
Furthermore, her attack method was like a Howitzer, capable of Area Damage. Her normal attack was fiercer than some Area Damage Spells, and with one shot every two seconds, she could kill countless Demons.
Qiyalu was very satisfied: "The Tower of Death truly lives up to being a Perfect Quality Defense Tower, allowing me to go all out. You guys disturbed my meal, I'm going to blast you all to death!"
This little one vented the anger from not finishing her last bite of Roasted Meat onto the Demons. The frantically spawning Demons were subjected to relentless bombardment; shell after shell fell, slaughtering groups of Demons.
Qiyalu alone actually achieved the firepower of an Artillery Battalion—an Orange Hero is indeed an Orange Hero.
Under these circumstances, some Green Elites and Blue Bosses charging out of the Canyon could not withstand the firepower either. They were bombarded by Qiyalu and simultaneously hit by Vigus's Fireball Spell and Chain Lightning. They were usually eliminated shortly after entering the Tower of Death's kill range.
The Tower of Death absorbs the Souls of Bosses, significantly increasing the number of Soul Fragments gained. One Green Elite counts as 10 Normal Demonic Monsters.
A Blue Boss is equivalent to 50 Normal Demonic Monsters. Killing two Blue Bosses allows the Tower of Death to gain one layer of Soul Ring.
After only 20 minutes of spawning, the Soul Ring Layer Count increased to 8 layers—the efficiency was undeniable!
Especially Vigus, after leveling up to 5, her Pure Desire Seduction Talent was further enhanced, increasing the number of Bosses she could seduce to 2.
Vigus thus controlled a Level 15 Flame Demon Leader, a Blue Boss equivalent to a Blue Hero of the same level.
It possesses Area Damage Burst Fireballs, which further intensified the output of the Defense Line, making the efficiency of killing Demonic Monsters extremely astonishing.
"The Defense Line should be relatively stable now. All these Demonic Monsters are dying on the Hunting Plots; this is much more efficient than the Demon Lair on the Holy Light Tower side!"
Wu Feng hadn't even accurately counted the number of Demon Lairs in the Canyon; he only knew there were at least seven or eight Demon Lairs, with more than three Little Demon Lairs alone.
This is why the Canyon is packed with Demons. Now that the Southern Barbarian Invasion has begun, their spawn rate is incredibly fast, and the resources gained from there are several times that of the area around the Holy Light Tower!
Wu Feng soon saw that Vigus had collected over 50 White Crystals and 10 Green Crystals. Wu Feng could afford another Hundred Consecutive Draws of Resource Crystals.
"This two-kilometer distance is too troublesome. If only I had Instantaneous Movement!" To quickly acquire resources from the Canyon area, Wu Feng had to rely on a Cavalry Troop Type he drew to transport Resource Crystals and other items back and forth.
This efficiency naturally couldn't compare to Instantaneous Movement. He managed one transport run by the Knight roughly every half hour, continuously opening Crystals, Keys, and Summoning Scrolls, while simultaneously building a ring of Steel City Walls around the Lord's Heart while gathering resources.
This was preparation for any eventuality. No matter how the Territory developed in the future, the Lord's Heart would definitely be the focus of Territory Defense. Even the Canyon area could be abandoned, but the Lord's Heart could never be given up.
Three hours into the Southern Barbarian Invasion, Wu Feng leveled up to 5, Vigus rushed to 7, and even Qiyalu reached Level 5.
And Wu Feng, relying on Blue Crystals, initiated his 3rd Hundred Consecutive Draw of Resource Crystals!

In this Hundred Consecutive Draw, Wu Feng didn't obtain a large amount of Magic Crystals, but thanks to the draw, he obtained Orange Quality ore—an essential item for constructing Orange Quality Buildings and forging Orange Weapons in the future.
"Although it's not Special Resource ore, it's still a high-quality resource. I'll store it in the Lord's Cabin for now..." Wu Feng's current task was to sort through the various resources and items obtained from opening things.
Resources obtained from Resource Crystals are divided into Common Resources and Special Resources. Common Resources are the three major categories: Lumber, Stone Material, and Metal Ores.
Resources of White Quality are Lumber, Stone Material, and Iron Ore. Upgrading to Green yields Ironwood, Granite, and Black Iron Ore. Blue Quality corresponds to Sandalwood, Basalt, and Bronze Ore.
These Common Resources are the most consumed. Besides these, there are Special Resources like Gemstones and Elemental Materials, which are rarer and more expensive than Common Resources of the same Quality.
Wu Feng has opened so many Resource Crystals that he has only obtained 2 units of Mercury （Green ）, which counts as a Special Resource.
Due to opening too many Resource Crystals, Wu Feng needed to construct a Warehouse to store these types of resources. During this time, he also opened 40 Treasure Chest Keys, which included the Blueprint for constructing a Warehouse.
Wu Feng built both Warehouses, storing the Common Resources inside them, while keeping the high-quality resources in the Lord's Cabin.
In the span of 3 hours, Wu Feng truly reaped great rewards. The cumulative number of Resource Crystal draws reached 330, Treasure Chest Keys reached 150, and he even pulled 160 Summoning Scrolls.
The number of Commoners and Troops in the Territory has increased; there are over 50 Peasants alone who can engage in various production tasks, and there are over 10 Craftsmen, including those for Wine Brewing, Building, and Blacksmithing.
The Treasure Chest Keys also yielded quite a few good items. Wu Feng obtained 3 Green Challenge Tokens and 1 Blue Challenge Token from them!

All these gains gave Wu Feng 3 more Blue Items in hand. Wu Feng planned to conduct a few more rounds of challenges after the Southern Barbarian Invasion ended.
He even collected 5 Blue Keys, all dropped by Blue Bosses.
It must be said that Fen Jin Ba Huang's Southern Barbarian Invasion was a huge help to Wu Feng, allowing him to rapidly farm resources and greatly increasing his Development Speed.
Wu Feng's Territory was large enough, and his total level was high enough, attracting a relatively large number of Bosses.
Just as Wu Feng thought the Southern Barbarian Invasion would end like this, things took an unpredictable turn. A strange Purple Light suddenly appeared in the perpetually dim sky.
Wu Feng, who was expanding his Territory using Land Plots, sensed something unusual. He suddenly looked up and saw a scene he would never forget.
A purple crescent moon appeared in the sky, and the eerie purple light it emitted caused the surrounding Demonic Monsters to roar, tearing through the night sky!
【Ding... Abyss Layer 799 is illuminated by the Purple Moon （New Moon State ）, all Demonic Monsters' levels increase by 3, spawn efficiency increases by 100%, Boss Spawn Rate increases by 100%, all Demonic Monsters are affected by the Purple Moon and gain the Purple Eerie State （Mutation Chance increased by 20% ）.】
