Lyra held her spear, cooperating with the silver-white unicorn’s thunder and lightning to kill all the orcs that came close.
As they charged, the scenery in front of them gradually became distorted, and it was obvious that the power of space was getting stronger and stronger.
"Right here!"
"Enlina, if you can bomb, try to attack."
Toji Hisami stretched out his hand, and Enlina immediately condensed a red energy bomb, striking it in the direction Toji Hisami pointed.
After the energy entered the area, it immediately activated the abnormal space nodes.
A gray stone pillar suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The surface of the stone pillar was engraved with mysterious lines. Toji Hisami knew at a glance that they were spatial anchor points.
"Lyra, destroy the stone pillar."
"Yes!"
Lyra stabbed the stone pillar with her spear, directly shattering it. The surrounding scenery shook and suddenly returned to normal.
[Lord Toji Hisami of Jiuzhou Territory was the first to defeat the foggy stone pillar and received a reward of 1,000 points for the first breakthrough.]
[The Mist Pillar has been discovered. After being destroyed, the intensity of the invasion will be reduced.]
[When 60% of the fog pillars are cleared, the invasion ends.]
As the stone pillar shattered, an announcement suddenly appeared.
The lords of all the regions received the long-awaited notification, and an inexplicable sense of déjà vu emerged in their hearts.
Just because in all the announcements that had appeared so far, the protagonist bore that same name.
[Well, it’s Toji Hisami again, this is very scientific.]
[As I said, the announcement is for Lord Toji Hisami.]
[Master, does Lord Toji Hisami care about your thousand points? How many points does he have?]
[Is this what you should be concerned about upstairs? The point is that Lord Toji Hisami found a way to end the invasion!]
[The Mist Pillar should be buried in the disappeared fog area. It seems that it cannot be defended blindly!]
[Damn it, I can’t hold it anymore anyway, so I’ll charge back!]
West District.
Sardo stood up from the top of the pyramid, his golden-red cloak rustling and his hair swaying in the wind.
"Why did he go out?"
"Did he realize that the problem was in the foggy area early on? Or did he have other plans?"
Sardo did not care about the so-called foggy pillars, but instead focused on Toji Hisami.
If Toji Hisami knew what Sardo was thinking, he would give him a thumbs up.
As expected of the lord who could occupy second place, he had vaguely captured Toji Hisami’s intention.
But after all, the two parties were not in the same area. Based on his imagination alone, Sardo was still not sure what Toji Hisami wanted to do.
He only knew that he could not just stay in his territory.
If he just relied on killing enemies like this, he would not be able to catch up with Toji Hisami in points.
It would be better to do the same as Toji Hisami and go into the foggy area to see if there might be a chance for a comeback.
"Gather the golden guards! Attack with me!"
Sardo gave the order, and a group of soldiers wearing golden armor ran back from a distance, all of them powerful.
Then a mighty earth dragon came to the top of the pyramid, greeted Sardo, and jumped directly in front of the team.
Sardo picked a direction and immediately led his elite guards out to kill.
At the same time, in other directions, lords also gathered together to temporarily shrink their defensive circles to provide teammates with opportunities to fight their way out.
Because until now, almost everyone had reached their limit after fighting.
To break through, they needed to destroy the foggy stone pillars to relieve some pressure.
After Toji Hisami saw the announcement, he knew it would cause a chain reaction.
There was a question of choice before him.
Should they destroy the stone pillars to relieve Elara and the others’ pressure, or should they abandon the stone pillars and venture deeper into the mist?
Chen Wei, who was standing next to him, saw Toji Hisami’s hesitation and could not help but say in a low voice:
"Lord, please trust the Black Tortoise Guards."
Toji Hisami raised his head and saw Chen Wei’s determined eyes through the gap in his helmet.
He looked back again. Even though there were dense orcs in the middle, the tall figures of the Black Tortoise guards were still clearly visible.
The Black Tortoise phantom roared and kept advancing.
Yes, there was no need to reduce stress.
With the existence of the Black Tortoise guards, the problems they faced were different from other lords.
The Black Tortoise guards needed this kind of pressure to grow, and his subordinates all needed this kind of pressure.
Toji Hisami was right.
Because in the Eastern District, where his old base of Jiuzhou Territory was located, everyone who was notified by the announcement chose not to go for the stone pillars.
They were still advancing steadily, fighting hard with the orcs.
Under such pressure, all the people under the leadership of Jiuzhou made progress so fast that it would scare anyone who saw it.
Even Lena herself had abandoned her territory management work and gone to the front line.
As a warlock, she also possessed good combat effectiveness.
Now she had been promoted several times in a row, and had even realized many new characteristics.
As for destroying the stone pillars? Why destroy them?
Keep them!
Over in the Southern District, Toji Hisami smiled.
Concern led to chaos, making one forget the powerful effect brought by his own talent.
In this case, there was nothing to hesitate about; Toji Hisami turned around and led the team into the fog.
He took out the golden dragon statue from his clothes and used it to sense where the other golden altars were located.
Time waited for no one.
The spread of news about the stone pillars would inevitably cause other people to take a chance on them.
And with so many smart people out there, someone would eventually realize during the pillar search that they could enter the fog early to explore.
Toji Hisami was not going to give them a chance to react.
The best thing was to do the same as in the East Basin before: sweep away all the rewards before others could react!
The feeling of exclusivity was the best!
As soon as they entered the fog, everyone’s sight and perception range were compressed.
However, Toji Hisami was already very experienced in this regard. As long as they continued to destroy altars, their sight and perception would be restored.
When he had crossed the fog before, his maximum range of sight and perception had reached nearly two hundred meters.
It was just that after leaving the fog, this perception would weaken over time, and they needed to build it up again.
His goal this time was the golden altar, and ordinary altars were not his priority at all.
The golden dragon statue was penetrated by his magic power and lit up with a dense radiance.
A stream of light trembled as it pointed in one direction.
"Go, follow the light."
Everyone took action immediately and moved forward in the guided direction as quickly as possible.
The thick mist swirled around them like living tendrils, attempting to obscure their senses, but the guiding radiance of the golden dragon statue sliced through the darkness with unwavering precision.
Behind Toji Hisami, Lyra kept her spear lowered yet primed, her sharp gaze scanning the shadowy perimeters for any hidden spatial tears or lurking abominations.
Every step deeper into the fog brought a heavier pressure of wild, unstructured spatial energy, yet the small strike team pushed forward without a single moment of hesitation.
They were no longer merely defending their domain; they were actively conquering the unknown territory before anyone else could comprehend its value.
