My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

It's precisely because Jiang Cheng is legendary himself that he understands the inconceivable nature of this technique.

By controlling the Power of Heaven and Earth, he could vaguely perceive the situation in Red Mountain City.

But this perception was not sharp enough.

Even if he could perceive it, if a legendary monster were to appear, he would still be too late to act.

He would have to harness the Power of Heaven and Earth to fly over, then draw his sword, slash, and strike; by the end of this process, a legendary monster could have destroyed an entire wall, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

The reason he had been able to ride the Two-Headed Flying Dragon to extinguish fires everywhere was because, even if a Fourth-order Boss leapt onto the walls, the army of Red Mountain City would be able to resist for a while.

If the army of Red Mountain City were nothing but a rabble, he, being a legend, still couldn't defend it for long.

Compared to Jiang Cheng, who had a clear idea of what was happening, the City Lord of Red Mountain City, General Xie La of Red Mountain, who had come to the command post, was somewhat dumbfounded as she watched arrows shoot into the Azure Sky.

What does this mean?

Red Mountain General Xie La switched to the hero viewpoint, overlooking the city wall defenses, and suddenly exclaimed, "Dead! In just a moment, six High-order Monsters died!"

That was just what she saw, not including the ones she didn't see.

She saw these seemingly inconspicuous arrows, which actually didn't possess great destructive power, pierce the monsters' crimson eyeballs with precision, penetrating from behind their heads and spurting out trumpet-shaped fresh blood.

The monsters struggled a few times, then their bodies crashed to the ground with a thud.

If one could precisely hit a monster's eyeball, then even an Elite-level warrior could potentially kill a High-order Monster with a single blow. But this 'if' was from the beginning an impossible premise.

"With precise targeting, Seventeen from Tianyuan can quickly and efficiently kill one High-order Monster after another with low expenditure of resources,"

"Perhaps, any monster weaker than her could be swiftly eliminated,"

judged the Lord of Red Mountain City.

This truly is a 'Rookie Slayer.'

To this General from Tianyuan, he himself was just another 'rookie' that could be taken down with a single arrow.

He envied her, but he could not attain her skill.

At this moment, he genuinely breathed a sigh of relief.

"With help from the Tianyuan reinforcements, and such a powerful General from Tianyuan on scene, my Red Mountain City will likely have no problems getting through this disaster."

"It's stable!"

...

Hundreds of miles away from Red Mountain City, in a barren wilderness.

The ground collapsed, creating a crater with a diameter of a thousand kilometers.

Deep and seemingly leading to the Netherworld's gaping maw, at this moment, monsters continuously poured out from within, fanning out in all directions.

In the pitch darkness of the abyss, large gold-red lights ignited, resembling two Blood-Gold Moons suspended in the gloom.

Then, a second pair, a third pair, and a fourth pair of Gold Red Dragon Pupils appeared in succession.

The deep gaze of these pupils seemed to peer at the distant Red Mountain City from hundreds of miles away.

"Delicious food, I am getting somewhat impatient."

"But the Ice Burial Duke forbids us to act prematurely, for fear of alarming the prey,"

another Crimson Dragon spoke, yearning for blood yet cautious.

"Where have we alarmed the prey? Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open,"

the first Crimson Dragon pointed at the monsters continuously heading outside and said, "Look, these little guys have been pouring into the Twilight Dominion even before we arrived. Since the prey is already alarmed, it's only right that we catch a few to sample, isn't it?"

"Hmm..." Enjoy new tales from empire

The speaking Crimson Dragon pondered for a moment and then altered his statement, "We're just here because we discovered the anomaly and came to investigate. Squashing one or two insects that dare to resist us seems even more justifiable, doesn't it?"

"That's perfectly reasonable!"

The several Crimson Dragons, sniffing the rich aura of living beings from afar, could no longer contain themselves. Their enormous forms burst forth from the dark void, roaring toward the distance.

...

"These monsters are indeed somewhat abnormal,"

Mu Yuan stated, standing on a tower not far from the city walls, gazing toward the distant battle.

Not long ago, he had received reports from Deng Long and several other elites, all mentioning that the monsters they fought had some issues.

They were very clumsy!

The strength, speed, and trump cards of the High-order Monsters weren't bad, almost comparable to Third-order and Fourth-order Bosses encountered in the wild. They were extremely bloodthirsty, recklessly fearless, and their combat instincts were above par, but...Nôv(el)B\\jnn

They lacked tactics.

Monsters that excelled in head-on charges did just that, and those adept at sneak attacks used the shadowy tactics that were nearly templated.

Deng Long and many had fought High-order Monsters before, and compared to intelligent monsters that knew how to coordinate, feint, shoot from hiding spots, and employ numbers to their advantage, these monsters fell short by a lot.

"Indeed, these monsters do not seem to have wisdom,"

added the President of Jiang Cheng, who was also a veteran frequent on the front lines and an immensely experienced fighter. He had noticed something was off about the monsters but had no time to think about it during the fierce battle.

The City Lord of Red Mountain was completely baffled.

What was not right?

How could such ferocious monsters be considered weak?

But one was a representative of the younger generation, and the other a seasoned veteran; if both said so, it must be true. The City Lord of Red Mountain pondered: why hadn't he, the Lord and the person who should be most aware of the battle situation, noticed anything amiss?

This was not his fault.

The City Lord of Red Mountain and his Division Generals simply did not have much experience dealing with High-order Monsters.

This was not the case with the elites of Tianyuan.

After battles such as the Wolf Head Mountain Fortress, the defense of Tianyuan City, several campaigns to obliterate overlords, and dozens of large-scale tribal extermination campaigns...

While the awareness of Tianyuan elites might not have been awakened for long, their battle experience, especially their knowledge of High-order Monsters, was indeed ample.
