[Advanced Building: Immortal-Demon Sacred Hall]
[The Immortal-Demon Sacred Hall is an exclusive sanctuary for Lords, housing the Lord's statue, where troops and residents of the territory can worship.]
[First Function: Increases the loyalty of beings within the territory's influence to the Lord.]
[Second Function: Increases the attack and defense of territorial troops by 20%, and the productivity of territorial residents by 10%.]
[Third Function: As the Lord's strength increases, the speed of collecting Faith power is accelerated to varying degrees.]
[First Exclusive Function: As the exclusive sanctuary of the Immortal and Demon races, the Immortal-Demon Sacred Hall can increase the favorability of beings with Immortal and Demon bloodlines, and the chance of them defecting!]
[Second Exclusive Function: Increases the hatred value of beings without Immortal or Demon bloodlines!]
...
Upon seeing this information, Xiao Mo's expression became slightly surprised.
The blueprint for the [Immortal-Demon Sacred Hall] only had three functions when identified.
However, after it was constructed, two hidden exclusive functions had appeared.
Nevertheless, these two exclusive functions were a mix of good and bad.
Increasing the favorability and chance of defection from beings with Immortal and Demon bloodlines was naturally good.
As for the increased hatred value from beings without Immortal or Demon bloodlines, Xiao Mo did not pay much attention to it.
In fact, there was a truth held by both the Immortal and Demon races:
"Those not of our kind will surely have different hearts!"
In any case, any entity that opposed the Immortal and Demon races was destined for complete annihilation.
Therefore, whether the hatred value increased or not was not that important; even if it skyrocketed, the outcome would be the same.
It was a fight to the death!
Immediately, Xiao Mo no longer lingered on these thoughts.
When his gaze returned to the Immortal-Demon troops, he noticed that all of them were enveloped in a faint glow.
The Immortal troops were surrounded by a pure white, sacred radiance, while the Demon troops were wreathed in a crimson, chilling light.
Xiao Mo then understood that these were the blessings of the [Immortal-Demon Sacred Hall].
Just like buffs in a game, these glows would boost the combat power and defense of Xiao Mo's forces by 20%.
This meant that the overall strength of the entire Immortal-Demon team was enhanced by one-fifth under these buffs.
More importantly, this buff was not limited to the Immortal-Demon forces but applied to all troops belonging to the Immortal-Demon Tribe.
In other words, any troop under the banner of the Immortal-Demon Tribe would receive this augmentation.
This was almost identical to Xiao Mo's initial vision.
The [Immortal-Demon Sacred Hall] was undoubtedly a god-tier support building for late-game development and legion construction.
Its primary contribution was to legion construction, as its existence directly impacted the overall strength of the legion.
It could be said that under specific circumstances, the value of the [Immortal-Demon Sacred Hall] was no less than a divine artifact, perhaps even greater!
...
Time passed quickly. Just as Xiao Mo was adapting to the new building, he suddenly felt a tremor overhead.
The pale blue light stopped flowing and began to dim.
Concurrently, the rampaging magical beasts outside the territory seemed to have sensed this, and began to furiously assault the protective shield.
Soon, the shield was covered with dense, spiderweb-like cracks, appearing as if it would shatter with a single touch.
At this moment, only five minutes remained until midnight.
As the protective shield's power fractured and dissipated, the chat channel was once again flooded with frantic messages.
[Five minutes left, my shield is almost broken!]
[Mine too! Damn it! I'm not ready yet!]
[Honestly, how many people are ready now? Probably only those Lords with troops of higher than average tier!]
[We have to face it even if we're not ready! The shield will disappear soon!]
[The person above sounds so casual! There are at least hundreds of rampaging magical beasts outside my territory. Once the shield disappears, with my low-tier husky troops, I'll probably be wiped out in minutes!]
[Don't be so discouraged! Maybe you'll be lucky enough!]
[Lucky enough this time, but what about the future? There are still beast tides and many indigenous factions ahead. Will we always be so lucky!]
[Alright, alright! Stop talking, I'm not despairing yet! At least you guys still have your troops! My troops suffered an accident yesterday, basically 80-90% are gone, and I still plan to hold on!]
[My friend above, you must hold on! As long as you get through this wave, you can summon troops again later!]
[Actually, all Lords are facing a similar situation. It's nighttime, and the magical beasts are in a frenzied state!]
[Speaking of which, has everyone noticed that these magical beasts seem to sense the protective shield about to disappear and are already desperately attacking it!]
[Brothers and sisters! Take care of yourselves!]
[Three minutes countdown! After three minutes, it will be a fight to the death with the rampaging magical beasts outside the territory!]
[Let's all prepare! I hope to see you all here again tomorrow!]
...
Soon, the [World Chat Channel] fell silent again.
With less than three minutes left before the battle commenced, no one had the energy to chat.
Now was the time to prepare for a desperate struggle against the magical beasts outside the territory.
Xiao Mo closed the chat channel and looked out at the pitch-black world beyond his territory.
Countless dark figures flickered there, along with pairs of green or crimson eyes, like will-o'-the-wisps in the night, sending shivers down one's spine.
Like other Lords, his territory was also surrounded by magical beasts.
They would launch a full-scale assault as soon as the protective shield completely vanished.
Xiao Mo did not hesitate and put on the top-tier equipment dropped by the Dwarf Chieftain.
Then, he took out a long spear crafted from pure dark iron, its tip glinting with a cold light.
This spear was a high-grade piece of equipment forged by the Goblin Master, Little Kid.
Although the greatsword dropped by the Dwarf Chieftain was also high-grade equipment, Xiao Mo found it uncomfortable to use.
Moreover, he had always preferred spears in his heart.
Therefore, he had the Little Kid forge him a high-grade spear, with its tip made from the fangs of an Iron-Backed Azure Wolf King, making it exceptionally sharp.
Besides these, Xiao Mo wore the [Elf Queen's Bracelet] on his chest.
Not only was it convenient for storing supplies and equipment, but it also provided the skill of the spiritual equipment: Blessing of the Elven Goddess!
This king-tier skill could greatly protect his life on the battlefield.
Simultaneously, the entire Immortal-Demon troop was fully prepared.
All the soldiers' faces were filled with fervor, and their eyes gleamed with excitement.
Finally, they could fight alongside their master, which was the ultimate honor for them!
"Crack!"
A moment later, with a light sound, the protective shield shattered inch by inch, turning into countless light spots that slowly dissipated.
It was at this very moment that the roars of the beasts outside the territory became even more ferocious, accompanied by sounds of running.
Xiao Mo raised his spear high, pointing its tip towards the outside of the city, and loudly commanded all the Immortal-Demon troops:
"All out! Annihilate them all! Leave none alive!"
"As you command, Master!"
"Annihilate them all! Leave none alive!"
