A few hours after the Elves’ attack, Cole woke up from his bed once again. His spirit power had been raised from B+ to A-, and his control of spirit power was becoming more and more proficient.

“But, how much longer until the lightning gap is full of energy? I feel like I’m about to be drained…”

Although the continuous battles and rest had allowed Cole’s spirit power to continuously increase, the fatigue that was imprinted in his heart did not diminish in the slightest. Cole sighed and walked out of the castle, harvesting a few Energy Fruits and some unimportant fruits… After patrolling around the manor, Cole sat beside the small villa and looked at the sky with a slightly absent-minded look.

“I’m already so exhausted. Could it be that the others are already cold?”

Opening the World Channel, Cole wanted to see how many people were still alive, but in the end…

“Aiyo, after the first wave, I rested for an entire day. It’s so comfortable. There’s nothing more comfortable than this.”

Cole: “???”

“That’s right. Although it’s freezing on my side, it’s really comfortable. No enemies came to fight for an entire day. I, this master, am drilling a hole in the ice and fishing!”

Cole was dumbfounded. ‘After the first wave, you guys went straight to vacation mode? On my side, I went straight to the second wave, and I even worked my ass off.’

‘Could it be that my second wave came earlier? Will the third wave come earlier? Oh, why can’t I rest for even a moment?’

Just as Cole was complaining, a trade link was suddenly sent over. It was from The Outer City of Xuebang. They had gathered 1,000 Fire Crystals to trade with him.

“You guys have also gone through the first wave and are now on vacation?”

“Big Brother, you should be too. Although we say that we are collecting resources and building a defense, it is no different from a vacation.”

“I really envy you guys. Let’s trade.”

1,000 Fire Crystals appeared in Cole’s warehouse. The B1 Battle Droids started working again, working overtime to tie the Gasoline Fruit and the Fire Crystals together.

“I also want to go on vacation. I want to soak in a hot spring and take a bath. My body is already stinky.”

Cole scratched his head. The grease stains on his hand made him want to take a hot spring bath even more.

“So, do I have to go personally? Go out or something?”

Cole had a rare doubt.

“The current me should be able to block most of the attacks, right? I should be able to bring along Cicarius and John, right?”

Cole, who was filled with fear towards the unknown, held his chin and muttered. Suddenly, a buzzing sound was heard. At this time, any abnormal sound could not be let go.

Cole quickly rushed out of the villa. Sure enough, a pitch-black cloud suddenly appeared in the sky and was flying towards the manor.

“Sure enough, the third wave arrived ahead of schedule. Everyone, get ready for battle!”

The soldiers, who had only rested for eight hours, endured their fatigue and stood up.

“If we can survive this time, I will definitely hold a party to celebrate,” a B1 Battle Droid said as it raised the blaster gun in its hand and fired at the black clouds in the sky.

A bee that was more than a meter in size suddenly fell from the sky to the ground. Cole instantly realized that this was a bee targeting the Divine Tree. He immediately commanded the Astarts, who were holding incendiary bombs, to throw incendiary bombs at the bees in the sky.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Incendiary bombs exploded in mid-air, enveloping the swarm of bees. Even the dozens of bees were burned to ashes. However, even though dozens of bees had been killed, there were still nearly a thousand more that swarmed toward the manor.

“Form a square formation to defend!”

Cole gave the order while extending his hands. A tremendous amount of spirit power instantly exploded, like a large net pouncing on the swarm of bees. Dozens of bees were taken care of, and Astarts and the B1 Battle Droids, who had gathered into a square formation, pulled the trigger together. Laser bullets and incendiary bombs formed a bullet curtain and pounced crazily on the swarm of bees. The swarm of bees spun in midair and rushed into the sky. The swarm of bees retreated.

“In other words, you are planning to fight a war of attrition?!”

Cole gritted his teeth. Bees were swarm creatures. Once they were attacked, they would attract a large army to launch a counterattack. Although there seemed to be a lot of these large bees, who knew if these bees were the vanguard?

“We must not let our guard down! Ability Group! Connect spirit power to form a large net. Pounce on those bees!”

The swarm of bees passed through the clouds, turned around collectively, and rushed towards the manor. They wanted to tear apart the enemies in the manor and offer the Divine Tree to the queen.

Just as they were about to rush towards the manor, a huge spirit barrier that ordinary people could not see suddenly appeared in the sky of the manor. The barrier was like a large net, trapping the swarm of bees that were rushing towards the manor. This was the combination skill of Cole and the B1 Battle Droids that had spirit power.

“The rest of you, fire!”

Another barrage of frenzied bullets was fired. After leaving behind a large number of corpses, the swarm of bees once again rose into the sky. However, this time, they did not immediately descend.

Click.

Although the spirit net still appeared to be intact, Cole knew that one-third of the B1 Battle Droids that had spirit power had already been shut down due to the lack of electricity.

“We can’t afford the next round of attacks. We have to get rid of these bees as soon as possible.”

Cole’s expression kept changing. Other than the net being able to defend against their attacks, there were only incendiary bombs that could give them a fatal blow.

“Ability Group! Retreat and replenish your energy! Are the incendiary bombs ready?!”

“Ready.”

The battle stance changed once again. This time, it was the B1 Battle Droids who threw the incendiary bombs. It was not that Cole did not believe in the Limit Warriors’ throwing ability, but the B1 Battle Droids were better at calculating the angle and time of the projectiles.

“I need you to throw the incendiary bombs when the bees are about to reach the manor! You have to aim! Otherwise, the needles of the bees will pierce through all of you! Limit Warriors, prepare the bullet screen! You have to shoot the bees behind you!”

“Roger roger!”

“Understood!”

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

The sound of giant bees flapping their wings could be heard once again. The B1 Battle Droids immediately began to calculate the movements of the bees. The moment the bees appeared in everyone’s line of sight, the B1 Battle Droids raised the incendiary bombs in their hands. They did the same actions almost simultaneously.

At this moment, the formation of the bees was an inverted triangle. The moment they successfully broke through the defense, the bees would be like a can opener, easily killing the B1 Battle Droids and Limit Warriors.

“Calculation completed. Eight seconds left.”

The remaining Elves hiding in the forest were also quietly watching the battle. The hands of the Elves were sweating. They were crazily praying that the swarm of bees would be able to kill all the people in the manor perfectly.

“-one second, shoot!”

The huge flames instantly dyed the sky of the manor red..
