When Rosen arrived, the Naga territory had already dispatched a group of soldiers to protect the workers extracting the gold mine near the second territory.
The resources in the Lord World are endless, for example, in Rosen's World of Warcraft, the gold mines are inexhaustible and are automatically replenished every day.
Likewise with wood, it grows back the day after being harvested.
Thus, there's no issue of resource exhaustion.
The only limit to army development is perhaps the control over the number of gold mines.
In the later stages, the demand for gold coins far exceeds that for wood.
Few types of troops need wood, mainly defensive towers.
The defensive tower is a defensive facility of a level four main city. The current Naga territory can already create defensive towers, indicating it has at least reached level four!
Facing a level four territory with a level two army offers little chance of victory.
Rosen's confidence lies in the Tang Xuanze he acquired previously!
Near the second gold mine of the Naga territory are three defensive towers, named Tide Guards.
They resemble a circular well filled with water, and when enemies approach within a certain range, a dragon-like beast emerges to attack with energy balls.
The Naga workers extracting the gold mine, named Deep Sea Fishman Slaves, are protected by around a hundred Deep Sea Fishman Raiders and fifty Naga Minions.
They are weak level one units within the Naga race.
The true core units of the Naga race amount to at least three thousand, mainly distributed around another gold mine one kilometer away, separated by a river from this location.
Rosen commanded his army to launch an attack on the defensive towers next to the gold mine.
Prioritize attacking the Tide Guard!
Twenty Beastman Soldiers and Undead Race Zombies surrounded the well of the Tide Guard, launching constant attacks.
The awakened Tide Guard, a water dragon residing below the well, raised its head to shoot Water Energy Bullets at the soldiers.
The damage was moderate, but the attack speed was exceedingly fast.
It spewed an energy bullet every two seconds.
Rosen's Beastman Archers, Beastman Gunmen, and Skeleton Archers launched long-range sneak attacks on the other two Tide Guards.
At this distance, the Tide Guards couldn't retaliate and could only take the hits.
When the first Tide Guard exploded, the Naga race finally reacted.
The Deep Sea Fishman Raiders, holding sharp blades, charged, while the Naga Minions fired arrows from behind.
Rosen's group of Beastman Cavalry broke through the raider's defenses, slashing at the Naga Minions with their war blades.
The Giant Troll Javelin Throwers similarly hurled javelins in unison at the Naga Minions.
Level two troops naturally hold an outright advantage over level one troops.
Even with large numbers, the level one troops gradually dwindled under the attack of the level two troops.
The Skeleton Archers launched endless arrows, while the startling and confounding curses were continuously unleashed.
Despite losing all the Beastman Cavalry, they wiped out the fifty Naga Minions.
Without the interference of Naga archers, under the encirclement of their army, the hundred-plus Deep Sea Fishman Raiders were slowly worn down.
Boom! Boom!
The remaining two Tide Guards didn't even have time to reveal their heads before being remotely shot and exploded!
Rosen then waved his hand, and the long-range troops aimed at the laborers transporting the gold mine and fired.
The Deep Sea Fishman Slaves traveling between the two territories were picked off in the river, their green blood polluting the water.
Noticing the reduction in worker numbers, the Naga territory a kilometer away dispatched an army of around a thousand towards them!
"Just in time!"
This was exactly what Rosen was waiting for.
He ordered his army to spread out, while long-range professions continuously fired.
In the dense Naga army coming over, the weak level one units fell one after another, further polluting the river.
When the main Naga forces were only two hundred meters away from him.
Rosen summoned a duplicate.
The duplicate transformed into Tang Xuanze's appearance.
Tang Xuanze indeed had a bit of a handsome allure, with an air of a successful man.
But that wasn't the point; the important thing was his ability to enter a Tailed Beast transformation state.
The surface of Tang Xuanze's body immediately glowed red, and two long ears-like red lights popped out from his ears, swaying back and forth.
Three tails sprouted from behind him, initially short like a rabbit's tail.
Suddenly, a crimson beam shot into the sky!
The short fox tail suddenly grew longer, reaching a height of a hundred meters!
"One-tail form!"
Rosen felt a violent aura surging from deep within, summoning his inner dark forces, attempting to control him.
Some dark thoughts also emerged.
In his mind, scenes of classmates mocking his father's disability and the cold ridicule directed at him flashed repeatedly.
He considered himself a fairly upright person, not quick to see the worst in others.
Yet repeatedly facing misunderstanding and mockery, though long suppressed, these complex thoughts erupted at this moment.
Rosen managed to stay in control, striving to think positively.
"Is this the nine-tailed transformation? Just unlocking the one-tail state already feels a bit like turning to the dark side?"
Rosen no longer hesitated. After all, he had only five minutes.
After five minutes, this duplicate would disappear, and he'd have to take the field himself.
If the nine-tail transformation spiraled out of control leading to a breakdown and full nine-tail transformation, then it'd be GG.
The crimson hundred-meter-long tail violently slapped down on the ground ahead!
Targets within a hundred-meter range, struck by the tail, all turned to mush.
Clearly a one-hit kill, no chance of survival.
Tang Xuanze, being the Patriarch Tang, indeed possessed immeasurable power.
Even without entering a heroic form, and still being an incomplete Tailed Beast transformation.
The unleashed damage was enough to easily crush the Naga army.
From top to bottom, the attack area was still too small.
Rosen tried to sweep with the tail.
But when the crimson fox tail swept towards the Naga army, it only killed thirty units.
The tail suddenly dissipated!
Simultaneously, the darkness within Rosen seemed to lose energy, entering a certain empty state of wisdom.
This feeling was like after climaxing to a Japanese teacher, a short-term disinterest in any other gender.
After a brief shock, Rosen quickly understood.
A sustained nine-tail transformation required ample dark energy from within.
Simply put, once inner darkness wasn't sufficient, as it rapidly consumed, the resulting explosive power sharply decreased.
That Uzumaki Naruto was partly because he lost his parents at an early age, grew in a continual mocking environment, and his dream of becoming Hokage was repeatedly struck down, that such vast shadows gathered inside him.
To re-conjure a tail obviously required continuous self-suggestion.
Of course, Rosen also considered other Tailed Beast transformation attack methods, whether it's biting or hand-to-hand combat, all straightforward and brutal.
The tail wasn't necessarily needed.
As for the Tailed Beast Ball, it seems to be something that can only be deployed at the four-tail state, given that in that state, self-awareness is replaced by the Tailed Beast.
Nevertheless, the transformation from one-tail to three-tail signifies the enhancement of Tailed Beast power, which still requires enhanced inner dark energy.
"Isn't it said that the nine-tails excels at stirring up people's inner darkness? Could it be that my nine-tails is a knockoff?"
There was no more time for deeper thought.
Watching the approaching Naga army, Rosen could only attempt to continuously imagine the school's classmates mocking him in his mind.
Imagining the principal and teachers' cold and heartless faces.
To stir up the darkness in his heart, mobilizing more nine-tail power!
Under Rosen's embellishment and continuous imagination, the darkness in his heart peaked.
Suddenly.
Three crimson beams shot into the sky!
