My military branches can Evolve Infinitely-Chapter 493 - 325: The Generals of Tianyuan (4K)
"My goodness, what is that! I even saw a dozen or so bone dragons!"
"This vitality force, is it the undead?"
In the past, the undead were the enemies of the majority of living creatures. Both the Elf Empire and the Bright Empire had once carried out campaigns against the undead.
However, time had changed, and later, under the threat of corruption and monsters, the undead were also categorized as 'broadly living creatures.'
Since Taeli was not born in the age of the Elf Empire, she didn't particularly like the undead, but she also didn't have an inherent disgust for them, however...
"If this force is the undead, then what about the treemen?"
She didn't understand!
Below Wolf Head Mountain, two black tides quickly collided.
Although the number of undead still couldn't compare with the monster tide, there was now enough to hold their own against them.
The monsters' eyes were filled with blood-red fury, unafraid of death, but the undead were even more vicious and fearless. Even if their bodies were torn in half, even if only a head remained, they would still leap up and bite into the monsters.
In the monster impersonation contest, the monsters could only take second place.
There were abominations that resembled meatballs, rolling into the midst of the monsters. Their thick layers of fat had been chopped open, arms with hooked hands broken off, chewed up and swallowed by the monsters. More and more monsters pounced and bit into them, leaving the abominations almost unable to move.
They felt no fear, no pain, they merely opened their gaping mouths wide, splitting up to their ears, emitting a terrifying, ghastly laugh.
The next moment,
BOOM——!
The abominations exploded, their violent energy tearing apart the monsters clinging to them, and a deluge of highly corrosive acid, like a curtain of rain, enveloped the surroundings. For a time, sizzling sounds were incessant, as one monster after another, howling, rolled on the ground in agony, slowly perishing.
Wise wolfmen, relying on their exceptional combat power, plowed into the undead tide. They often sliced the skeleton generals in their path into two with a single cut, but suddenly, their legs were caught. Multiple bisected skeletons and ghouls clung tightly to them, and in front of them, more undead charged.
Between fighting to the death and temporary retreat, the wise wolfman hesitated.
With wisdom came more fear, as well as the desire to live.
The surrounding undead, regardless of being low or high-order, were all fearlessly aggressive, all rushing forward with the intent to trade life for life.
"Is this reasonable?"
"Shouldn't... living creatures be afraid of us!"
Before his consciousness sunk into darkness, the wise wolfman's mind was still adrift with thoughts he couldn't understand.
In comparison to the entire monster tide, the number of undead was actually much smaller.
This time using the 'Legion of Death,' Mu Yuan and Dead Bone had focused on quantity; most of the summoned undead were first and second order, even the dozen or so very conspicuous bone dragons were merely third-order.
But the undead didn't need to face the entire monster tide simultaneously, they backed against Wolf Head Mountain, with their front lines bordering the advancing edge of the monster tide, entangling and battling, the entire battlefield turned into a meat grinder.
Within the undead tide, there were also a few but huge figures that stood out conspicuously due to their size.
Forest Guardians!
Forest guardians from Nature's faction were actually fighting alongside skeletons and ghouls. In centuries past, this would have left countless people dumbfounded. Unfortunately, the monsters didn't care about such distinctions, to them, treemen and skeletons were all the same.
Besides the monsters, the watchers were few and far between.
The combination of the undead tide and Forest Guardians firmly resisted the impact of the monster tide. And atop Wolf Head Mountain, the prismatic light dome formed by mirror surfaces was still bright, fending off some of the long-range attacks coming from afar.
Within the light dome, a succession of arrows and energy beams flew out, bombarding the high-order monsters that revealed themselves within the monster tide.
At this time, when the monster tide couldn't break through the defense line, the various siege weapons on the mountain played an exaggeratedly lethal role.
Previously, the commander of Fang of the Jackal Wolf didn't care about these defensive weapons, because in just a few hundred seconds, the tide would have surged up Wolf Head Mountain. Then, their controlled minions would destroy the delicate yet fragile weapons of the vitality force entirely.
A few hundred seconds, no matter how powerful these defensive weapons were, they wouldn't be able to kill too many lesser monsters.
But now,
The undead tide and Forest Guardians had seized the momentum of the advancing tide, while atop Wolf Head Mountain various long-range weapons continued to bombard. If this side's vitality force had sufficient ammunition, they might even be able to gradually eradicate the ordinary monsters outside Wolf Head Mountain.
Mu Yuan naturally had plenty of ammunition.
The Energy Well had been built at the domain's headquarters and didn't have much surplus capacity, but Lord Shepherd had directly prepared an energy reserve of over 1,500 soul crystals.
Because the Thunder Flame Cannons couldn't be charged with soul crystals and because of time constraints, the amount of ammunition Master Li's team could produce was limited... so Mu Yuan purchased several hundred crates of Thunder Flame Cannon ammunition through the Secret Realm.
After all, it was a fairly common war weapon in Tai Xuan, and ammunition of this type could be bought to some extent.
If it hadn't been for the urgency of time, Mu Yuan would have prepared a few thousand crates.
The last thing he lacked was ammunition.
"However..."
He didn't show any signs of relief, "The monster tide is just the first wave of Fang of the Jackal Wolf's offensive, a formidable Overlord Power couldn't possibly only have such methods."
The Fang of the Jackal Wolf indeed had more than just these tactics.
Soon,
Bang! Bang! Bang!
