The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 251 - 162: The Beastman and the Witch’s Second Encounter

Chapter 251: Chapter 162: The Beastman and the Witch’s Second Encounter

[Cycle Challenge—No Man’s Battle Zone is starting, this challenge is a world-class cycle challenge, covering a total of 96 participating regions, divided into 15 battle zones]

[In this challenge, there will be time-limited tasks that appear intermittently. Completing these tasks will reward points which will be added to the total score of the region. The region with the highest score will gain all rights over the No Man’s Battle Zone]

[In this challenge, a points mall will be set up for the battle zones, and the items available for redemption in the points mall will increase over time]

[Note: During this cycle challenge period, the points mall will be continuously open, and the points spent in the points mall will not affect the final tally of regional points]

[The current Lord’s region is area 81, belonging to battle zone 13, with participating regions including areas 72, 73...89]

[Because this battle zone includes a large land area, you have gained a new privilege: Territory Binding]

Yun Dao had his fleet arrive early in the region near the battle zone, just waiting for the opening of the battle zone, ready to enter at the first opportunity.

In fact, there was originally a local Captain’s fleet at this location as well, also prepared for the cycle challenge, planning to go in and make a fortune once it started.

However, as she led her maritime base and fleet through the Mirror Space into this sea area, their fate was already sealed.

They had not missed the temporary cycle challenge notification on the panel, and as soon as Yun Dao arrived in this area, the name Witch Expedition Army had already topped all the leaderboards.

But because Yun Dao had begun preparations for promotion as soon as he arrived in this area, and after the promotion, he had been busy upgrading various aspects of his fleet, only finishing last night.

For two whole days, no one in the channel detected any trace of the so-called witches, and the Witch Expedition Army at the top of the leaderboard had no recorded sightings, so everyone relaxed.

After all, an unarrived danger is no reason to stop them from participating in the cycle challenge and gaining more benefits.

Moreover, before coming to this game, the Lords of this region were mostly fishermen from an island country, very familiar with maritime affairs, and their unexplained confidence made them believe that even if they encountered witches, they could still escape.

Especially a few who occupied islands and called themselves great pirates, those 4th Tier powerful Captains, believed they had a chance in battle.

But when the massive floating island flipped the mirror and appeared on the sea, those Captains were left with nothing but panic.

That was after promoting to 5th Tier, the [Eternal] Divine Statue had unlocked more abilities, including a grand Divine Art that could block space.

A large-scale Divine Art nearly at the 7th Tier, after consuming the Magic Power of tens of thousands of witches, the moment it flipped back to the real world, its power enveloped the vicinity.

A barrier, extremely similar to the regional barriers, cut off the Captains’ escape routes.

Upon realizing there was no escape, a clash was imminent.

Of course, that was for those Captains, but for the witches, this was an opportunity to gain companions.

Except for those exceptionally strong individuals that reached the 5th Tier level, the target witches did not kill the other witches, but rather used a variety of specially researched spells by Yun Dao for capture.

These spells were originally based on common attack spells, but the Attack Power was reduced and instead, the various Control Type effects were specifically strengthened.

All to complement the characteristics of witches infecting humans.

For example, the Lightning Technique that leaned more towards paralysis, the Shock Bomb Fireball Technique that focused more on the blast’s shock ability rather than its own strength, the Wind Blade that was specially strengthened in impact rather than cutting power...

As for those 5th Tier individuals, especially those Lords with no weak Combat Power, knew the moment the barrier fell that they only had a desperate fight, and they burst forth with unprecedented fighting strength.

Yun Dao still remembers one man in a dark gray robe, wielding a Tachi with waves of pink petals, possessing a strong Demon-breaking Attribute, nearly unstoppable.

Fortunately, he was alone and weaker in other aspects, and the witches managed to instantly overpower and control him with Control Type spells.

The other witches, to ensure they wouldn’t just take hits for nothing, also had to resort to using real Attack Spells against similar 5th Tier Combat Power, and casualties were inevitable.

Eventually, after consuming everything, they only captured two 5th Tier units.

Their ships, naturally, became part of the fleet under the Conquest feature. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

And for the remaining time, Yun Dao didn’t bother ambushing arriving Captains, and did not reenter Mirror Space to conceal her presence.

After all, for Yun Dao now, she encountered the same problem as Bai Yi; the low-tier fleets were no longer very profitable for her.

It wasn’t even worth the resources spent during the sacrificial ritual when taking her massive fleet into Mirror Space.

Moreover, after this morning’s conflict that eliminated so many Lords, the channel was already in shock, with very few brave Lords willing to risk coming forward.

But this does not mean that she gave up on those Lords; instead, she planned to leave a few ships’ Combat Power here to interdict after entering the battle zone.

With a smaller number of ships, the sacrificial ritual needed to enter Mirror Space wouldn’t need that many resources.

And amongst them, the most important [Eternal] Divine Statue, as resources had become plentiful, had constructed several more, enough to split across more than a dozen fleets.

As the panel notification appeared and the barrier in front of the fleet opened, Yun Dao’s command spread through the Spirit Network, declaring the start of the cycle challenge.

Just like the panel notification earlier, the battle zone they were in was not purely oceanic.

In other words, this time they faced many Land Lords as enemies, possibly even requiring land-based combat.

Luckily, ever since they became witches, they had overcome the disadvantage of former Ocean Lords and were no longer limited to naval combat.

Even, it seems that the witch race itself is a land race, a warrior race.

With the coordination of spells, their Combat Power can even crush the majority of land races!

Once the opponents think that, as Magic Series units, somehow breaking through the witches’ Magic Firepower Net, they can also teach the foes a lesson with absolute power.

"Hmm, should we try to set up a Magic Wand workshop first?

Although witches do not need Magic Wands to cast spells, it can also be used as a disguise and be utilized as a melee weapon in close combat, otherwise fighting empty-handed is too disadvantageous.

Even if the witches’ attributes crush those of the same tier and their self-healing ability is very strong, it’s not worth tormenting themselves like this..."

Yun Dao suggested in the Spiritual Link to start synthesizing a Magic Wand workshop using workshop blueprints, and immediately a witch took on the task.

Another witch had begun designing a convenient magic wand to smash the enemies’ heads in the upcoming battles.

Looking at the map spread on the captain’s cabin table, Yun Dao estimated her position and the time of landing.

The official landing and entering the battlefield was still a half-hour journey by sea.

Her rush to head straight to land was not out of an intention to give up the ocean.

During this time, many ships in the fleet had broken away and formed small fleets, each entering the Mirror Space under their own Divine Statue Sacrifice and began roaming the seas.

As for the main force, naturally, they would participate in the land war.

"This time, the panel indicates that there are 7 different areas participating in this Battle Zone, including my own; based on the map, there could be at most two more ocean areas involved.

That means at least 4 areas on land are participating in the battle.

It’s a pity that we cannot do advance reconnaissance; witches do not have such capabilities, and we are unclear about other Land Lords’ arrangements, or even which nearby area it actually is...

However, with our current strength, we should fear no enemy!"

This was the confidence granted by formidable strength!

With some time left before the landing, Yun Dao’s thoughts drifted, and she began to focus on the condition of the fleet.

Ever since establishing the faith of the Primordial Witch in her territory, aside from the central control tower under her feet, a second high-rise building was constructed.

It was the church dedicated to the Primordial Witch Bai Yi.

The blueprint for this church was obtained by her sister from those "Information Broadcasts," a term she coined for the headache-inducing information that came sporadically.

The blueprint of the church had the general format, but the most crucial Array part was incomplete, only containing remnants of runes, making it impossible to restore its functionality.

The remaining parts of the Array were something she had studied last night, finding that it gathered a specific type of energy and directed it outwards.

Though she was curious to investigate further, the imminent Cycle Challenge required her to focus on studying combat spells.

After her sister returned from the last Information Broadcast, the fleet had experienced it twice more, roughly maintaining a frequency of once per day.

The first of the two broadcasts discussed knowledge about machinery, mainly large-scale machinery for mineral extraction.

The next was something akin to a wanted poster, documenting the "Enemies of the Witch"—Beastmen and their backing Beast Gods, acknowledged by the Primordial Witch.

The former was perfectly timed for their impending landing on land, as they would need substantial land resources, especially various minerals.

These resources were precisely what they, the Ocean Lords, lacked the most.

The large machinery would help them quickly mine and transform it into usable metals.

After acquiring this knowledge yesterday at noon, research had already started in the territory, and the construction of the First Generation mining machinery began.

As for the other information, she didn’t take it seriously.

After all, witches had "vanished from history," and these Witch Enemies were probably also just remnants of history.

Yet, she did not expect to encounter these Beastmen so soon.

After half an hour of sailing, the fleet finally approached the coast and encountered the first opposing Lord’s troops.

But...

Why do these units look so familiar?

"This...

Aren’t these the Witch Enemies mentioned in today’s Information Broadcast, those Beastmen?!

Have they become units for Lords just like witches?

Could it be that, like the witches, they have diminished in power, their Beast Gods lay dormant, and like the Primordial Witch, desperate to expand their tribe and gather faith for revival?"

These theories were meaningless to her now; since they had encountered each other, there was only one answer: to fight!

But knowing they were Witch Enemies, the fighting would be fiercer.

Wait, this information was broadcast right after those mining machines; could it have foreseen this situation?

Were the mining machinery knowledge rewards? And these Beastmen actually a mission?

The Primordial Witch is horrifying, able to predict to this extent...

With this thought, her reverence for Bai Yi in her heart deepened. Feeling the surge of combat intent through the Spirit Network upon seeing those Beastmen, Yun Dao declared:

"Attention all, target the Beastmen on the coast ahead, prepare to cast the Fire Rain Technique.

For the Primordial Witch!"

......

Magic Spear: Made from high-tier wood, after special processing, it possesses remarkable Magic Power conductivity; not only utilized for long-distance casting, but also combined with the inlaid Crystal Core and high-tier metal to create a durable spear blade, carrying numerous Spell enhancements for the witches’ melee combat. This weapon is also one of the favorites among the War Witches...

[Note: You heterodox blade-wielders! Magic Wands should be fitted with a hammer head to smash heads!]

[Sub-note: I think our Magic Sword Party is also quite acceptable!]
