My military branches can Evolve Infinitely-Chapter 590 - 364: The Emerging Tianyuan Division General (5.7K)
Sophia, as well as the scout forces of the elves and giants, sent back intelligence from the front line. The direction of the monster army's advance had changed slightly, with the vast majority of the tidal wave of soldiers and war machines heading straight for Tianyuan Territory.
From the start, the enemy's target had been Tianyuan City.
For overlords such as Fang of the Jackal Wolf, the significance of taking down Wolf Head Mountain and capturing Tianyuan City was entirely different. Moreover... Tianyuan City, despite its abundance of defensive weapons and structures, was far larger than any fortress and held no strategic advantage of terrain, making it easier to attack than Wolf Head Mountain.
Their earlier direct assault on Wolf Head Mountain was merely a feint to avoid revealing their true intentions towards Tianyuan City.
Now, the situation had changed.
"This is troublesome,"
Both the elf and the giant legends shared a look, finding the situation difficult.
The Tianyuan forces had repelled the stealth attacks of several monstrous legends, yet the crisis still loomed; the vast Tianyuan City was like a small boat in the tidal wave, liable to capsize at any moment.
Compared to their initial campaign strategy, they were now far too passive, far too troubled.
Still, they had lost the initiative to the monster overlords from the moment their armies began to march.
"No matter what, we now have no choice,"
...
The skirmishes outside Tianyuan City ceased in the blink of an eye.
The slaughter in some unnamed swamp in the wilderness also came to a silent end.
However, in various regions of the wilderness, great battles erupted with the terrifying aura of the Legendary Realm ascending. The legendary creatures that the scouts had never been able to find were emerging one after another.
Their targets were the spearhead squads traveling across the wilderness, aiming to snipe and destroy the war machines.
"The enemy is playing for time."
"They are wary of Duo Lai, but Duo Lai has already revealed his presence in Tianyuan City. At this point, their legends can act without restraint,"
Mu Yuan mused.
And found it troublesome as well.
These monster overlords were nothing like the foolish creatures he had faced before; they were cautious and made full use of any intelligence they had.
Duo Lai was one such Trump Card that had been exposed.
But...
He had far more than a single trump card.
He messaged Duo Lai, "Pursue, Sophia has already locked onto two targets in the Legendary Realm for you!"
Duo Lai excelled in mass destruction of monsters, but he wasn't suited for city defense. It wasn't that it couldn't defend a city, rather that, if Duo Lai were to do so, the city would be reduced to ashes along with the monsters; even a water mirror light screen wouldn't hold up.
Having Duo Lai take the offensive to hunt the enemy aligned with strategic needs.
Duo Lai could destroy vast numbers of monsters with its AOE attacks while on the offensive.
What kind of environment was most suitable for Duo Lai?
Answer: An environment filled with enemies and devoid of allies!
And among his peers, Duo Lai's speed was second only to Jun; with its "Medalized Wings" state, its flying speed could leave Dead Bone two streets behind, making it the undisputed number one flyer of Tianyuan.
It could easily catch up to the monster legends.
Any exposed monster legends would be marked one by one by Sophia if Created Black Crows were present in the area.
"Go, Duo Lai, I choose you."
...
Seeing Duo Lai riding the gale through the Spirit of the Falcon, the legendary elf Milena breathed a sigh of relief.
She suddenly felt somewhat ashamed.
She had been weighing whether to lend a hand to Tianyuan Territory. When she ordered her scouts to snipe and probe, she had also instructed them to prioritize concealing their tracks and their own safety. However...
When urgent reports came from everywhere that every spearhead squad was being hunted by a legend, Tianyuan's mightiest did not hesitate to take risks to strike out, choosing first to rescue the spearhead squad from her Natural Garden.
Even though Tianyuan's own spearhead squad must certainly be in crisis at that moment.
Was this the magnanimity of the human Tianyuan?
...
Out in the wilderness, there appeared a legendary Jackal Man over six meters tall, wielding a giant wolf-toothed club.
His body flowed with a dark crimson blood light, which spread all around, causing the surrounding grass, rocks, and even the sky to take on a bloody hue.
His aura was abyssal, and his breath turned into violent storms.
He was a great, proud, and exceedingly strong Jackal Man legend!
However, at this moment, the Jackal Man legend was staring with his massive crimson eyes, his pupils filled with fear and disbelief.
He lowered his head slightly.
In front of his chest cavity, a diminutive human barely over two meters tall was maintaining the posture of a punch, where the fierce and domineering force had torn through his armor, skin, and flesh, blowing out a nearly meter-wide hole in his chest.
Through this huge hole, you could see the land torn into a massive ravine in the distance, and even further afield, a mountain peak with a crescent-shaped gap.
"This... this is impossible."
The spearhead squads of humans, elves, and giants were indeed formed by the top fighters amongst the Four-order. They held power above the ordinary Four-order, moved without trace, and the Jackal Men under his command found it very difficult to surround and kill these Four-order.
So, as one of the legends of Fang of the Jackal Wolf, he brazenly took action upon locking onto his target.
He grinned viciously, a hunter ready to tear his prey to shreds and swallow them.
But...
As soon as he struck, he was spotted by the girl with the white bushy tail. The girl turned into a giant wolf and miraculously survived his wolf-tooth hammer strike.
Then, the human brute roared with excitement, looking at him as if he were some beautiful female Jackal Man. The next moment, the brute burst into steamy red flames, and shadows of a roaring Giant Dragon emerged behind him. Like a Meteor crashing down, he broke through the freshly scattered Domain, shredding the energy and everything in front of him in its path.
