My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

The blood-red beams, like converging rivers of fire, crashed down viciously, causing an entire section of the wall to continually shake, as terrified cries from the new Elf recruits rang out.

Each of these new Elf recruits possessed combat skills above the Second-order Elite level and considerable combat experience.

However, the vast majority of them had never fought against monsters, let alone faced the most ferocious and violent monster tides head on.

Just moments ago, they had been slaughtering monsters with abandon, enjoying the advantage, but in the blink of an eye, they were at the critical juncture of life and death.

Recalling their instructor's scolding, the young Elf remembered not to panic or close his eyes on such a battlefield. Then, he suddenly thought he had been directly hit by the red light. How was he still alive?

He opened his eyes.

Before him was a dazzling golden light, like a pair of wings spread in flight, or the embrace of a mother holding them protectively.

The golden wings spanned more than ten meters, directly blocking the blood-colored beam spat from the Giants' mouths.

The blood-colored luminance sprayed in all directions, sizzling where it touched the walls. A watchtower not far away was even destroyed, corroding away a corner of it.

This proved just how terrifying the blood beam had indeed been.

But it was sturdily blocked by the golden wings. Was our human defense captain on this section of the line that impressive?

"New recruits, what are you dawdling for, counterattack! Counterattack!"

The scolding snapped the young Elf back to reality. He saw many of the human warriors fighting heroically against the monsters, continuously sniping at the incoming tide. Meanwhile, some of the Elves were still dazed, frightened, and bewildered, just like he had been moments ago.

Next to the humans' valor, the Elves seemed like timid cowards.

This wouldn't do!

They, too, were elites of the Natural Garden. The Natural Garden was also a renowned Vitality Force.

"Ah—"

With an angry roar, the young Elf pulled his bowstring to a full moon shape, the arrow wreathed in an increasingly dense green glow.

The verdant arrow shot out, piercing accurately into the eye socket of an eighty-meter-tall, blood-colored Giant a kilometer away, shattering the Giant's eyeball and blasting open a palm-sized hole.

But the blood-colored Giant did not sway or roar. Flesh grew and merged rapidly in his eye socket, fully restoring it in the blink of an eye.

"New recruit, against other monsters, this kind of war weapon cannot be destroyed by your powers! Don't waste your strength on it!"

The older Elf shouted.

But he understood that such war instruments needed to be destroyed as soon as possible; otherwise, the walls would be as fragile as a sandcastle, ready to crumble under the enemy's bombardment.

The old Elf grabbed two sharp blades, his eyes sharply scouring for a path among the charging monsters to reach the blood-colored Giant.

"It would take at least three or four warriors of my caliber working together to have a chance to cross the kilometer distance and kill the blood-colored Giant."

And it was just a chance.

As he thought this, he caught sight of a human wielding a heavy halberd leaping down from the city wall.

The old Elf prepared to coordinate with this human.

But the human strongman caught a ride on a passing Azure Bird; he soared across the sky and plummeted down onto the top of the blood-colored Giant's head.

Heroic Leap · Fatal Strike!

The heavy halberd cleaved down.

The Giant's massive head exploded spectacularly.

Mid-air, the heroic commander struck again, his halberd cleaving the Giant's body in two, reducing it to a puddle of pus.

Two strikes, and the Giant was dead.

The heroic commander grabbed the claws of the Tai Qing Bird and in the blink of an eye returned to the wall, effortlessly completing his sortie and slaying the enemy.

At this moment, the old Elf was still pondering tactics and strategy, stunned for a while before he could only muster a simple:

"Ah?"

...

Ordinary soldiers had a limited field of vision, busy as they were fighting monsters. They could only see the massive creatures that appeared closer to them.

Yet, in the Lord's sight, Mu Yuan, Dead Bone, Lu Liu, and other heroes could see shadows growing within the tide.

Blood-colored War Elephants;

Blood Snake Aggregates;

Blood-colored Giant Cannons;

One monstrosity after another revealed their form, advancing step by step towards Tianyuan City.

"I used to set up the main defenses and structures on the north, but now, it's the South City walls that are bearing the brunt of the assault."

He was helpless.

How could he have foreseen a shift in his own territory? With Wolf Head Mountain Fortress on the north side, the south had become the enemy's most suitable breach point.

He could only allocate more of the defense forces to the south.

Reinforcements from the Natural Garden and the Giant Stone Ridge were also on the southern line of the walls.

The reinforcements from the two forces were small in number but indeed composed of elites. The least capable among them were of the Second-order Elite level, with mastery of several skills, and they could even resonate with a fragmentary Army Spirit.

The Elf elites, not including those in the Legendary Realm, numbered four hundred, including twenty-seven Fourth-order Strongmen, although some members of the elite squads were injured, receiving treatment and unable to fully recover their combat power.

The Giant elites, also not counting those in the Legendary Realm, numbered two hundred, with an even greater number of Fourth-order Strongmen—thirty-one in total.

Among the hundred-plus elites brought by Shen Linglong, there were also six Fourth-order Strongmen.

In any place, Fourth-order Leader level represented formidable warriors, a lifelong pursuit many professionals could hope for yet never achieve.
