Chapter 596: Chapter 366: The Defense Battle of Tianyuan City (4K)

After the battle, Lian Yue had consumed a great deal of her Moon's Power; she had already undergone the transformation into the Crescent Moon Giant Wolf in the previous battle, teaming up with Uta to slay a being of the Legendary Realm.

Her time in transformed state was now nearly depleted.

Xi Liu was the most severely injured, being unable to maintain her Giant Dragon form any longer, covered in blood, with both arms fractured.

Hong Yi's condition was the most intact, but her contribution against an adversary of the Legendary Realm was not significant.

Lian Yue: 1-1.

One kill, one assist.

This referred to the tally against adversaries of the Legendary Realm.

Both Xi Liu and Hong Yi were at: 0-1.

Back in Tianyuan City, Lord Shepherd was at: 1-9.

"1" referred to the Snake Man Legend outside Tianyuan City, slain by the enormous Thunder Magnetic Coil Tower. That streak of thunderous brilliance piercing the sky was controlled, aimed, and locked on by him, Lord Shepherd.

The "9" assists highlighted his status as the best supporter.

Not to speak of the distant, Mu Yuan had been closely watching the battle with Xi Liu and Lian Yue, providing them with more power from the Spiritual Link.

The chains of thought linked tightly together their minds, synchronizing their spirits and thoughts within a few breaths, achieving a level of understanding far beyond close comrades in arms.

They were as one entity, each performing their own role with precision, crafting the opportunity to slay a legend.

This was the power of divine support, the power of Lord Shepherd.

Moments later, Milena, now bursting with even greater strength, beheaded the Snake Man Legend with her sword.

Her look towards Lian Yue still bore some disbelief.

"It's time to leave," said Hong Yi, "Two Legendary Realm beings are on their way, and it'll be too late if we don't go now."

Their state was not good; they no longer had the capacity to ambush again. It was time to retreat.

Milena understood this even better. She was just puzzled, "You've just slain a legend, haven't you?"

To fight and kill a being of the Legendary Realm with mortal bodies, even if using some precious artifacts, even if the Dragon Man Legend was careless, even if...

No matter the reasons, this was a heroic feat, a miraculous one at that.

Having just accomplished a miracle, were you really so calm, without even a slight trace of excitement?

The trio of Lian Yue weren't without emotion, but of course, they weren't overly excited or self-congratulatory.

To take down a legend with mortal bodies was not something particularly difficult; it wasn't considered a miracle. Their Boss Dead Bone from Tianyuan Territory had achieved this a long time ago, and compared to then, their current circumstances were much more favorable.

Instead of feeling excited, it was better to ask Sophia if there were any legendary creatures left alone.

Now joining forces with the Legendary Elf Milena, if they were to plan appropriately, they could quickly set an ambush and hunt down a legend.

...

Thanks to the spiritual linkage network and the Created Black Crows from Sophia, Tianyuan Territory held an absolute advantage in intelligence gathering.

If one were to only compare the scope of visibility, the visibility possessed by the Monster Overlords was actually far superior to that of the three Tianyuan forces.

At that moment,

the Soul Sand Mine to the south had been lost, and Lu Liu, leading the elite, retreated under the cover of the aerial squadron led by the Wings of the Wind King, retreating into Tianyuan City.

The Thunder Magnetic Coil Towers and Arrow Towers within the Soul Sand Mine continued to fire until the last moment.

Under the barrage of energy and the assault of massive monsters, these defense structures collapsed one after another, and their markers on the map vanished one by one.

The core structure, the Lookout Tower, also fell, and the territory controlled by Tianyuan Territory shrank as a piece was wiped away; the view Mu Yuan had from above the Soul Sand Mine disappeared as well.

Before the view vanished, the multitude of explosives buried within the Soul Sand Mine base were triggered, sending up surges of thunderous energy, unleashing a wave of destruction equal to a full-force blow from a being of the Legendary Realm, engulfing the frontmost elite and high-order monsters completely.

But the scope of Tianyuan Territory's visibility shrank as well.

Apart from the Created Black Crows sent out by Sophia, the teams of Uta and Lian Yue, the only visibility under the control of Lord Shepherd was left: a hundred kilometers around Tianyuan Territory and sixty kilometers around Wolf Head Mountain.

In these areas, there were still many Tianyuan scouts, elites, and the elite of elves and giants active.

On the other hand, the vast majority of the wilderness was filled with the advancing monsters. They were the eyes of the high-order monster leaders, commanding waves of monsters and various monster groups.

But the view of high-order leaders was not equivalent to the visibility of beings from the Legendary Realm.

Moreover, the high-order leaders could not share their view.

Even in terms of communication, only a very few high-order intelligent monsters possessed communicative artifacts, which could only relay one-on-one messages.

Due to the influence of energy tides in various places or intense conflicts, often the intelligent monsters were unable to communicate, and the sent signals were disrupted, delayed, or distorted.

Some intelligent monsters developed abilities similar to 'Spiritual Link,' but these links could only cover a few hundred units within a nearby area. If they needed to communicate across several hundred kilometers, it had to be done one-on-one, and they had to be connected to a Mental Chain in advance.

The monsters occupied most of the territory, yet the wilderness was still dominated by Tianyuan Territory in terms of intelligence.

The commanders of the monster power, the envoys from Dragon Sleep Valley, were gradually becoming aware of this.

He began making tactical adjustments.

However,

even with the intelligence advantage and repeated surprise counter-hunts catching the enemy off guard, the situation remained tense. While some local battles were victorious, others ended in defeat.
