Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem-Chapter 437 - 208: Battle for the Leaderboard, Meeting the Ice Dragon Horn Challenge (6000)_2
Chapter 437: Chapter 208: Battle for the Leaderboard, Meeting the Ice Dragon Horn Challenge (6000)_2
"Even when facing giant dragons, they maintained an optimistic mentality."
"This mindset made them more adept in battle. Although our Nuon Clan is known as a Combat Nation, we still need to learn this spirit."
The three dragon-blooded female warriors, after hearing this, seemed to ponder deeply and then solemnly nodded.
"I understand. Thank you for your guidance."
...
Meanwhile.
The combat personnel entered the cafeteria to enjoy today’s dinner, replenishing their energy before the battle.
Cao Xing, however, opened the chat channel to see what major events had occurred on the first day after the merging.
After glancing at the chat records, he roughly understood the situation in District 17.
After a day, survivors had adapted to their new companions.
The squad leaders from each district had managed to survive the large-scale assault of the Ice Nest Monsters.
Although... the battle was rather challenging.
These big team leaders, wanting to showcase their strength, followed Jiang Qingyun and used the Ice Dragon Horn.
However, they all somewhat underestimated the power of the Ice Dragon Horn.
Ice Nests kept falling, continuously hatching more Ice Nest Monsters.
As time went on, the difficulty kept increasing.
In the later stages, even with all-out efforts to destroy the Ice Nests, they struggled to keep up with the monsters’ appearance rate.
Additionally, in the current Ice Nests, all the hatched monsters were Second Order Ice Nest Monsters, with many elites and occasional bosses.
They even encountered Leader Level Ice Nest Monsters!
This led to quite a few casualties on the first day.
All the legions lost many survivors and recruited creatures.
However, behind these casualties, those who survived gained increased levels and points.
Those squad leaders killed numerous Ice Nest Monsters, participated in finishing blows, and each gained considerable experience.
The lowest among them leveled up twice, while the highest went up four levels.
Now, among the 200,000 survivors in District 17, the leading group had reached Level 18 or 19, soon approaching the Third Tier of survivors.
Glancing at the information in the chat channel, Cao Xing roughly understood the situation.
"Not bad, the challenge of the Ice Dragon Horn is indeed high, but the rewards are equally substantial."
"Their leveling speed is still quite fast."
Compared to Cao Xing, their leveling speed was insignificant.
But compared to other survivors, their speed was like skyrocketing.
Apart from the leveling up of the squad leaders, another focus for the survivors was the current rules of the Points Leaderboard.
They discovered that the calculation method of the Points Leaderboard was based on the entire territory.
In other words, the arrow towers, recruited creatures, and other survivors in a territory that destroyed an Ice Nest or killed a boss or Leader Level Ice Nest Monster.
All points earned would only be accounted for the Lord.
Seeing this rule, Cao Xing pondered.
"If this is the calculation method, it’s going to be a bit troublesome."
"Because this means, the idea of having Muxue gain points and join me in claiming first, second place rewards might not work."
"Unless... I send Muxue out now to develop a new territory."
Cao Xing shook his head, quickly dismissing the idea.
Clearly, sending Liu Muxue to develop a territory now would mean starting over, and even with Cao Xing’s help, it would waste a lot of time.
"Besides this method, another way is through cooperation with other survivors’ Lords."
"I provide him with military support, help him climb the leaderboard, and then have him give the reward to me."
"Of course, this requires someone trustworthy, and I don’t really know anyone, so never mind."
After pondering for a moment, Cao Xing couldn’t think of a suitable solution.
He shook his head, deciding not to dwell on the issue for now.
After all, there were still nine days left in the leaderboard challenge, no need to rush.
He glanced at the current leaderboard.
[District 17 Points Leaderboard]
[First place: Jiang Qingyun 227 points]
[Second place: Chen Feng 213 points]
[Third place: Gao Yiyi 207 points]
[Fourth place: Huang Xinhai 202 points]
...
[Tenth place: Nan Yiman 183 points]
...
Clearly, the top ten of the leaderboard had already been occupied by the legion commanders of each district.
Their starting points were at least 180.
Because the Ice Dragon Horn (small) created at least 160 events every six hours.
Plus, defeating the bosses and leaders inside also earned additional points.
So, using one Ice Dragon Horn (small) guaranteed at least 160 points minimum.
After reviewing the leaderboard, Cao Xing nodded.
"These district commanders indeed have some strength, having all completed the first wave of the Ice Dragon Horn challenge."
"However, these legions suffered quite a few casualties."
"During the six-hour Ice Nest battle, each legion lost about a hundred people."
"This loss ratio is extremely high, almost equivalent to one-third of a territory’s combat personnel."
"In the short term, they probably won’t be able to attempt another Ice Dragon Horn challenge."
...
As Cao Xing had guessed, most legions were now exhausted and heavily damaged.
Looking at the field littered with bodies outside the territory, a heavy look appeared in everyone’s eyes.
However, the ones who suffered the most were the Wangjiang Pavilion Army.
Striving for maximum gains, Jiang Qingyun tried to emulate Cao Xing, waiting for some monsters to hatch before destroying the Ice Nest.
However, when he found that the number of Ice Nest Monsters appearing simultaneously exceeded expectations, it was already too late.
