Elson was no longer recognizable. He looked at Lily in surprise. "Little girl, are you also a high-ranking werewolf?!"
Lily almost choked on the spicy stick. She could only roll her eyes and nod. At the same time, the power of her transformation had finally reached its peak. Of course, if we did not consider the style, we could really call this the power of spicy sticks.
A gust of wind blew, and Hao Ren and the rest could not open their eyes. They could only hear a rough howl coming from nearby. "Awooo —"
In the howl of the wolf, it seemed that the whole world had quieted down. Images of the silver moon hanging in the sky, the vast land, a lone wolf howling in the moon...
All the visions stopped at the last "Woof", which did not quite match the atmosphere.
The gust of wind dissipated, and five or six huge battle wolves appeared in front of everyone. Their eyes were blood-red, majestic; they were as big as mountains, full of fighting spirit; their hair was stained with blood, which was frightening; and there was a husky among them.
Lily, who had grown to a height of five meters, looked around among her seniors and found that her size was about the same as the others. She nodded with satisfaction. "Woof, woof."
The alpha wolf stood at the front of the team, looked around at his companions and Lily, and spoke in human language. It was Elson's voice. "I always feel that something is wrong."
The other battle wolves also looked at each other, and then at the pattern on Lily's body. One of the wolves also spoke in human language. "Maybe the ink ran out during the birth, or maybe it is the hidden family in the snowfield. I feel that there is nothing wrong."
Lily tilted her head. She did not understand why the others could speak after transformation. "Woof? Woof? "
Elson continued to mutter to the others. "... I still feel that something is wrong..."
"Forget it, there is still nothing wrong..."
Ophra kicked Elson's paw and said, "Are you done yet? How many times have I told you to maintain your intelligence after transformation? This is the time for war! "
Although Elson looked like an old man, he was probably not as old as Ophra. Ophra scolded her old partner as if she was scolding her grandson. Elson and the wolf pack saw the marshal's power, and they immediately perked up. For the time being, they put aside the "white wolf" that looked a little weird in their group. A one-eyed wolf looked in the direction of the Gnarled Grove and said, "We'll find a way to attract the attention of these monsters. You guys go and catch the fish that slip through the net!"
After that, the five giant wolves, led by Elson, rushed into the woodland. These giant beasts, several meters tall, were surrounded by wind pressure that could crush gold and stone. Wherever they passed, it was as if a gale had passed through. Elson, as the leader, had extra strength. He left scorching waves of fire behind him as he ran. The flames burned fiercely on the bare rocks. Obviously, they were not ordinary flames.
And behind these five majestic beasts, the oversized white husky was also running happily. Although Lily did not think there was anything wrong with it, when you really put the husky and the wolf together, the difference was obvious. Hao Ren could hear the faint sound of argument coming from afar. "I still feel that something is wrong..." "You are oversensitive, I feel that there is nothing wrong!" "Huh?"
It was supposed to be a serious and tense occasion, but Hao Ren was stunned by the scene. After a while, he poked Vivian's arm and asked, "Call her back?"
"Forget it. Let her be. It's not easy to meet so many of our kind. Not to mention that they can transform with me." Vivian was a rare sight.
The five plus one giant wolves rushed into the grove and attracted the attention of a large number of Devilbeasts. The dark, twisted monsters were not intelligent to begin with, and they were the descendants of the Third Spawn from 10,000 years ago. This time, they were driven by the Gnarled Grove to attack the humans, so naturally, they did not have any tactics. As long as these monsters sensed the presence of the Second Born in other directions, they would immediately divert their attention, and the pressure on Hao Ren and the rest was greatly reduced.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Y'zaks had also gathered enough strength. He strode into the wilderness and grinned at the group of Devilbeasts that had slipped through.
Along with the blazing fire, the ground under Y'zaks' feet instantly melted in the high temperature. A demonic wall of fire mixed with green demonic fire surged forward in an overwhelming manner. Wherever the wall of fire passed, the rocks turned into magma, the plants sublimated, and the corrosive blood of the Devilbeasts evaporated into steam before it could do anything.
Ophra was stunned. "... Are you sure you're just mercenaries?"
"We are experts!" Hao Ren said as he waved his alloy spear and rushed towards the last group of Devilbeasts.
The interception and escort went smoothly here, but in other areas, the situation was not so good.
The trembling of the earth had not stopped, and new tentacles kept rushing out from the cracks in the ground. The First Born's shallow consciousness had awakened. It sensed that the mortals were trying to escape its control, so it intensified the activity of the tentacles on the surface. Among these tentacles, there were more and more mutated tentacles with psychic attack abilities or other magical powers. Every team that tried to escape from the Beinz region would be intercepted by the underground. The ordinary soldiers and militia who had only basic training could only wait for their fate. Now, the Royal Knights and the Church Knights could only do their best. They were trained to deal with humans and simple monsters. In the face of these unheard of ancient creatures, even a brilliant strategist could only be as helpless as the ordinary soldiers.
Therefore, the evacuation teams in every direction encountered great resistance. Casualties were inevitable, and not small.
The evacuation lasted for a day and a night. The divine formations in Leyton and other strongholds also held up for a day and a night. But there was a limit to human strength. When the first ray of sunlight appeared on the mountain top the next morning, the divine formations in the Leyton defense line had stopped operating due to energy exhaustion. The underground tentacles finally gained the upper hand, and villages and outposts were razed to the ground in the blink of an eye.
Now, only the largest divine formation in Leyton was still barely holding up, providing the last bit of safety for the soldiers and officers of the Knights who stayed behind, so that these seriously overworked soldiers could have a place to breathe. Under the thin purple light curtain, no tentacles would come out of the ground, but almost every road outside the town was occupied by tentacles and devilbeasts.
Ophra and Hao Ren had retreated back to the town. Everyone had not rested for a day and a night. The high-intensity battle was a little too much for the legendary heroes. Ophra's heroic light armor was stained with blood, and her cloak was corroded by the poisonous blood of the devilbeasts. She stood on a watchtower at the entrance of the town, looking at the completely changed land outside. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, most people have evacuated..."
All civilians and more than 80% of the army had evacuated. Now, only the elites who were responsible for the last line of defense and the high-ranking monks who were responsible for maintaining the divine formation remained in the town.
Hao Ren and his team did not leave. They wanted to see what the "First Born" looked like and whether it could be destroyed.
5 + 1 giant wolves guarded the entrance of the town majestically. Since yesterday, they had not completely removed their full-shifting state. These super "warriors" were the source of the morale of the elite soldiers who held the line. As long as their eye-catching figures were still guarding the entrance of the town, the morale of the knights would not collapse.
These giant wolves had become the symbol of the last line of defense, whether you admit it or not, including a husky.
Lily squatted on the edge of the wall, looking like a hero. She kept asking Hao Ren to take pictures of her...
"Ophra, we have to break out." Elson looked up. He was squatting on the ground in his current posture. His eyes were directly at the same level as Ophra, who was standing on the watchtower. "All the roads have been blocked. There is only one way left. If we don't leave now, it will be too late."
"The reinforcements of the Royal Knights are gathering at the foot of Dragonspine Ridge, but they can't break in. Only we can break out."
Ophra heaved a sigh of relief as she watched the last batch of soldiers assemble on the potholed town square. They needed to rest. The short breather in the early hours of the morning was not enough, but there was no time for them to rest.
"Prepare to evacuate," Ophra finally ordered. "Elson, inform Bishop Gelton to prepare to move... No, forget it. You can't go in now. I'll send someone else."
At this moment, an unprecedentedly loud bang suddenly came from the direction of the Gnarled Grove!
Hao Ren looked in the direction of the sound and saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
Vivian quickly flew up into the sky and exclaimed:
"The Gnarled Grove... is rising!!"
(There are so many troubles during the New Year, but I will try to keep updating. The time is not very stable.)
