As night deepened, the weather began to change -- the sky that had been clear just moments ago was now overcast with dark clouds... and snowflakes were falling from the sky. At this moment, Yi, the deputy general, and the three staff officers had gathered together in a corner, warming each other while chatting.
"I said, Yes..."
The aide looked at Qing and whispered in Yis ear, "-- Everyone is curious. Why does our captain, who is usually so stern and tight-lipped, change completely when he sees you? Its completely different from what we remember."
"Um, yes, I have the same question."
At this point, the deputy general seemed to hear his heart. He touched the bruise on his face and followed up with a dumbfounded voice: "Is there something wrong with this big sister who is beating and scolding you? It hurts so much. Shes like a tiger mother..."
"Shh... You dont think you got beaten up enough! Youre messing around..."
In order to ensure the safety of the three men, the staff quickly covered the mouth of the unguarded mouth, secretly glanced at Qing, and whispered: "Dont be surprised, he is just a rough man, I cant think of such a dignified female general, how could she have such a side?"
"Cough, oh, a slap is kinship and a scold is love..."
Yidun paused, then spoke earnestly: "We grew up together. She wasnt always like this - but as the saying goes, The higher you climb, the colder it gets ! Since becoming the Guardian Squad leader, shes had to shoulder the safety and expectations of the entire town. With mounting pressure and responsibility came her gradual change. She can be strict with everyone, even a bit harsh, but dont take it personally..."."
"How could that be! How could we possibly have an opinion..." shouted the deputy general, who was covered with ice bags.
The staff officer was startled by the deputy commanders reaction and quickly covered his mouth again. "Everyone knows our captain is just tough on the outside - that classic case of hot potato personality, a knife-sharp tongue but a heart of butter. But deep down, she cares about us. I voted for her during the election despite family pressure. Though I was initially resentful - being this old and having to be led by some young girl - it doesnt matter anymore. After all, she saved my life when I was in trouble. Lets call it even!"
The advisor was over forty years old. Although he came from a famous family and was proud, he had been working in the army for many years but made little progress. Through all the struggles, he had seen a lot, but he always felt that the saying "without detachment, one can not clarify his aspirations" was most suitable for him.
During the conversation, the staff officer mentioned that the family in question was one of the three wealthiest clans in White Tiger Countys City, rivaling the Zhuge clan. The Zhuge family held the highest status, while the Dongfang clan stood as the most powerful faction. As the ultimate authority, their successive mayors had always been from this lineage, who persistently sought to seize the leadership of the Security Team and even coveted the position of clan leader.
The adjutant nodded his head at the advice of the staff officer and looked at him with admiration: "This sister looks young, but her martial arts are really excellent. She is definitely one of the best!"
"-- Lao Fu felt sorry that the chief had not agreed to let her attend the interview..." The staff sighed, thought about it and sighed.
As the clouds receded, a silver moon once again illuminated the night sky, and the snow had gradually stopped -- So our little hero is about to appear.
And, well, our story is just beginning...
The vast wilderness outside the city now stood draped in silver, its only visible path leading to distant woods. This road, constructed from composite stone bricks reinforced with high-tech polymer materials, combined retro aesthetics, slip-resistant surfaces, durability, self-healing properties, and automated cleaning systems. Otherwise, why would this road still stand out so prominently amidst the thick snowdrifts covering the surrounding grasslands?
It was getting colder, and the three people around Qing had to continue to huddle in the corner, shivering and chatting.
" report!"
Suddenly, a member of the investigation team shouted loudly: "A large number of traces of strange beasts have been found in front of us! They seem to be coming here, but their speed is fast and slow as if they are waiting for something -- There seems to be a person in front of them, and he is coming here."
The exotic beast the player mentioned is a race that lives on this planet, as old and civilized as the guardians.
Unlike ordinary animals, they are mostly strange-looking and have the same talent as guardians. Some of the excellent exotic animals can also evolve independently, mastering different abilities at different stages, changing into different forms, and even transforming into human form.
Within the barrier near the city dwells a variety of mythical creatures-some large, some small. Most are naturally gentle and peaceful. While occasionally a few slip through the weak points of the barrier, wander off into the wilds before returning home, or accidentally enter human settlements and get lost, they remain harmless. Yet this time, the sheer number of escapes was unlike any other occurrence...
Here we come!
At this time, Qing looked through the telescope and shouted at the three, "I said why are you still in there? Come over quickly!"
When the three men heard this, they involuntarily shivered and immediately ran over, bending down to examine it carefully.
"Its a strange thing," the old man said. "I think we should consider it carefully, captain!" The staff officer, as the teams strategist, immediately offered a suggestion.
"What are you asking for..." the deputy general said, rolling up his sleeves. "Is it over just because you charge?"
"And so on -- Look at the eyes of these strange beasts..."
So Yi took the telescope from Qing and looked at the scene in front of him. He was shocked.
He saw countless pairs of red dots again, and wondered: "But the enemy has already retreated and the barrier repaired. How could this still be happening?" -- No, compared to an attack... they look more like hunters -- That person is... as if holding something in their arms -- Wait, who is this person?
Suddenly, Yi saw through the telescope a hunched elder staggering through the snow. His footprints left deep and shallow imprints. Clad in a silver robe with flowing hair, he held a blade in one hand. His inner energy flowed from fingertips into a silvery sword aura, his arm still stained with blood that glinted faintly. The other hand pressed tightly against his chest, protecting something far more precious than his own life.
" fit!"
Qing jumped onto the wall, with a calm and serious expression, and answered with a very affirmative tone: "Yes, master!"
Then she and Yi looked at each other, nodded at each other. Yi understood and answered carefully: "Well, dont worry, Im here!"
"Well, everyone stay where you are and be ready for battle!"
Qing stood on the wall with one hand on his chest and shouted, "Form an array!"
"Here!"
In an instant, five players stepped forward.
" embattle!"
" yes!"
Then, the members of the formation class began to form the pattern one by one in an orderly manner, chanting the formation decision in their mouths. The pattern under their feet gradually merged and condensed into a light point, which was transmitted to Qings side.
Qing focused for a moment, her forehead beginning to glow -- With a light push of her feet, she shot forward like an arrow released from its bow toward the enemy. She darted through the night sky with agility, placing one hand on her chest to gather energy while muttering the Array Decree in her mind.
For Qing, array formations were second nature. Compared to tactical formations, these arrays offered greater power and longer durations - the optimal solution under current circumstances, which was why she had chosen them as the supreme commander. Yet this complex reformation of the array was her first attempt at such a cumbersome task.
Because of the different formations and tactics, it requires tacit cooperation and fine control, which is undoubtedly a challenge for the young people who always like to go alone and lack patience.
In the past, in order to meet her masters requirements, she constantly adjusted herself, improved her coordination with her team members, and practiced formations countless times. As the saying goes, "A soldier is trained for a thousand days to be used in one battle." Now that she has become a person who is no longer the same as before, she still dares not slack off in front of her master and conscientiously completes every step.
Moreover, in the light of the present situation, all the steps must be completed with the assistance of the formation board in order to give full play to the maximum strength of the formation.
At this moment, the red-eyed beasts had followed, ready to attack, and among them were some of the most terrible colors of red, purple and even darker.
At the same time, the old man, whose strength was about to be exhausted, had already made a strategy in his mind, although he looked powerless to resist -- Suddenly, a small hand came out and shook it in the bag she had been holding with her hand.
The old man took a look at the bundle, then breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly. He stopped his blade instantly and channeled his strength into his feet, intending to buy time by pulling away from the enemy.
-- But how could those terrible enemies give up so easily? A pack of jackals had already approached their prey, waiting to start hunting. One of the nearest ones suddenly pounced from behind.
The monster, though unusually obscene in appearance, was smiling, and its sharp claws were about to touch...
At this moment, the old man suddenly clutched his bundle and took a strange step with his feet. He sidestepped to avoid the sudden attack. The jackal flew past him, smiled at the bundle, but plunged into the snow because he had used too much force.
" whee ..."
The old man frowned at the sight, but when he heard the laughter coming from the bag, he couldnt help but smile.
But there was more than one beast attacking -- and the moment the elder dodged the attack, a more ferocious leopard, with its fangs bared and eyes flashing crimson, leaped up to attack from the air.
The other wolves, on the other hand, were behaving themselves this time. They huddled around the prey in fear, cheering the leopard on while waiting for a chance to pick up the loot.
Then the elder was surrounded in an instant, without even a gap to escape. The two sharp leopard claws were about to succeed. Now the beasts who were still on the run were filled with the joy of victory.
At this time, Qing was speeding up. Although she tried her best, she was still a little short of the battlefield... Seeing her master in danger, she was very anxious.
After using the flashing point of his fingertips to complete the carving of the eight array diagram, Qingning concentrated his mind and was ready to use the array at any moment.
On the top of the tower, the team members were exhausted but on guard, but the three men were still sitting together staring ahead and having a small meeting.
"Hey, Xiao Yi, whats wrong with our captain today? Hasnt she always been this way in battle before? Why did she even use your Zhuge clans secret technique, the Eight Formation Carving Void, this time? -- Even these enemies cant stump her. To put it dramatically, we could all go home and sleep..."
The aide yawned and asked in doubt. People get used to going to bed early when they are old, and everyone has not had a rest for several days. This brother is now very sleepy.
"Because hes important, he doesnt want anything wrong with him, does he..."
At the moment, Yi stared at his distant family with an unusual seriousness. He unconsciously stroked his beard and was secretly anxious.
Yi was an orphan who had been wandering alone since childhood. When she arrived here, the elder discovered her, adopted her, and became her disciple-when she was about six years old... When Qing first came to the place, she was still a baby. The elder raised her and taught her martial arts. To Qing, the elder was both her master and family, like a father and mother, holding immense importance in her heart.
So the staff officer and the deputy general looked at Yi together, and the three of them stroked their chins at the same time.
"Hey, I mean, Yi, what about your beard?" The old brother looked at Yi, wondered for a moment, and asked with concern.
"Ouch... I cut this -- and that!"
At this moment, Yi, who had been fully focused, suddenly realized -- he changed his movements and pretended to be embarrassed, with a slightly wandering look in his eyes. However, the staff officer was a sensible man and said nothing more when he saw Yis appearance.
"Hehe... what? Did you cut it, sister? I saw it --," the deputy looked over and bluntly pointed out the truth with a silly smile and a very loud voice.
"Ha ha......"
Then the team members were attracted by the sudden farce and couldnt stop stealing smiles -- Yi and his staff officer could only look at the man together in silence, then decided to ignore him and turned away helplessly to look at the distance.
The figure with the green gas glinted in the night sky, and the cold air kept hitting it like a blade. But the woman general did not seem to care, but focused on the situation on the battlefield and the people she wanted to protect.
Suddenly, she moved her eyebrows and her eyes gradually revealed calmness. A wonderful counterattack was launched in an instant.
" laughter ..."
Then came the laughter again, unmistakably a childs voice. Suddenly, a beam of light descended from the sky. Thunder flashed with blinding intensity as it struck Red-Eyed Leopard -- with overwhelming force. In an instant, the leopard was reduced to a charred mess-its fur scorched into ashes, teeth and claws scattered across the ground, smoke billowing from its body. With wide eyes and an awkward smile, it spat out wisps of smoke before collapsing in the snow.
-- However, this natural force seems to be very strong, but it is well controlled and does not hurt anyone.
However, although the red-eyed leopard was down, a large number of reinforcements were on the verge of arriving. In addition, the three jackals who were hiding nearby waiting for the opportunity -- took advantage of the situation to launch a new round of attacks, quickly and in coordination, one on the road, one on the road, and one sneaking up behind.
"Ow... oh... oh--"
But after three screams, the old man and the bag were not hurt at all. Instead, the three cunning jackals fell down themselves.
As the wolves launched their coordinated assault, the snow beneath the ground suddenly coalesced into two colossal snow palms--. The first pack was pinned down by the icy clutches, tongue protruding as they stared at the snow-covered mound with wry smiles. The second wave of attacks met with a powerful slap from the second snow palm, causing the pack to collapse in the snowdrift, convulsing violently. The last wolf, seeing no threat to itself, let out a triumphant howl, imagining victory in its mind, only to be swept away by a gust of wind that arrived later...
As a result, the battle eased, but instead of laughter coming from the old mans baggage, there was a slight snore...
On the battlefield, Qing watched everything happening in front of her, and her brow finally began to relax. At this time, she happened to rush into the range where she could cast the array, so she quickly formed the seal with both hands...
"Heaven, earth, man, time, sound, law, star" -- array ★ North Star Beidou!
Then he put his hands together and finally used the great array he had been storing his strength for. At the same time, on the ground where the elder was standing, an array eye began to flash, and a dazzling array of light radiated from it, gradually extending around the array eye into the pattern of the Eight Array Diagrams.
Then, as Qing landed, he suddenly clasped his hands and thrust upward. A green protective shield rapidly formed. At that moment, two or three exotic beasts rushing over collided with it with a loud thud. -- Instantly, a dazzling beam of light shot out, completely deflecting them back.
Then, around the protective cover, there were countless energy balls that shone like stars with electric current. The electric bulb was positioned at the North Star position according to the eight array diagram, and worked like the Big Dipper.
There was a flash of light and a scream, and most of the enemy fell to the ground.
All men, hear the order!"
At this moment, Yi, who had been watching the battlefield from the city tower, suddenly shouted. He knew very well that it was time to fight back.
"-- The archery team must pull the trigger and stay ready! Reconnaissance team, keep scanning the front lines and report any abnormalities immediately. Deputy commander, prepare the wagons at the gate and open the city gates when I give the order..."
At Yis command, everyone on the tower sprang into action again --
"Lo, Sh -- here!"
The light arrows, already glowing with electric arcs, were poised to be fired on the exclusive weapons in the hands of the team members. "-- Tianshu, Tianxuan, Yuheng..."
In addition, the array of lights, after being enhanced, were sent back to a distance, in the eight array of pictures...
" yes!"
Then came the deputy generals sudden roar as he slammed his fists together, followed by a swift retreat that sent the man beside him shivering-- Yi steadied himself, then glanced around. Three shivers rippled through him in an instant-- There stood another figure beside him... Hmm, a staff officer. The older man was frozen in place, staring at Yi while awaiting orders...
"Um... --, can you buy us something to eat?"
"Me... to buy -- for dinner?"
The senior staff member probably misunderstood and asked in confusion. At this moment, his mind was filled with complex thoughts-- After all, as a veteran member of the Guardian Team, how could he...
"I said, Yi, although I am weak? Oh no, I am really weak, but I cant be a deserter -- I know you want whats best for me, but not so obvious!"
"No... dont get me wrong, but this is a very important task."
Yi suddenly perked up and explained earnestly: "-- Everyone must still be hungry after all the action! After the battle, I thought we should treat our guys to something special after a full days work! After careful consideration, theres no one more reliable for logistics than you, buddy. Why dont you join us? This is crucial for keeping morale up!"
"Um... I see. Ok!" Then the staff officer thought about it for a moment, suddenly understood, and took the task on cheerfully.
"O.K., put it on my account..."
"Ok! Credit... I know!"
The advisor ran halfway with a smile, then suddenly seemed to have an idea and exclaimed: "Oh, youre actually asking this old man to pay the bill! That kid must have already eaten all his money. No wonder I was asked to buy food -- Well, forget it. Since Im rich anyway, Ill treat you tonight! Your kindness wont be in vain..."."
On the other hand, after dismissing the staff, Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was not only to reward everyone, but also because Qing had once told him that he should take care of this good brother --. Yi was confident that he knew what to do when and where, which was also the tacit understanding between them as partners for many years.
Now, facing such a situation, Yi did not say it out loud, but he knew very well in his heart that it would be difficult for the fighting power of their guard team to win easily. Even if they asked for help from the friendly army now, it would be difficult to get support in a short time.
Besides, the enemy this time is not so simple, and the master is...
" cough!"
At this moment, the moment after Qing arrived, the elder was almost unsteady on his feet due to exhaustion, but he still tried his best to maintain his balance and tightly guarded the treasure in his hands.
"Master!" Seeing this, Qing quickly withdrew with one hand and helped the elder sit down. Then he asked nervously: "-- Are you ok?"
" theres no harm ..."
The elder took a long breath and managed to squeeze out two words in a weak voice. Then he paused and reminded him, "Be careful!"
So Qing sensed the situation around him. Obviously, the battle had only been temporarily eased, and there were still countless strange beasts on the outskirts, pouring into the area.
" how do I?"
At this moment, the womans heart was a little agitated-- she was worried about the safety of her master, and for most people, the sudden appearance of such a large number of opponents would be tricky. Obviously, this time only relying on the formation can maintain the status quo, and it is far from enough to win!
On the city tower, Yi was intently monitoring the situation, but no orders were being issued. The leader of the archery team standing nearby had been waiting in vain for a long time, which puzzled him. He couldnt help but ask, "Brother-in-law, do you think we should fire arrows now? The sister-in-laws formation has already been activated - this is our perfect moment to act!"
"-- Wait for..."
Shortly after answering the subordinates inquiry, Yi impulsively disregarded his own orders and drew his bow again. This unexpected action left everyone stunned -- The arrow shot with lightning speed, racing across the battlefield like a bolt of light. With pinpoint accuracy, it grazed the protective layer and a bears paw before plunging deep into the ground.
" hoot --"
The animal that was hit belonged to the bear family and was an enemy with great power. Just now, it was about to attack, but now Yis surprise attack frightened it -- The bear was licking its wounds, tears were in its eyes, and it roared loudly...
Then there was a whistling sound. The arrow on the ground flashed and moved, then suddenly rose from the ground, brushing past the strange beasts eyes, flying to the tower and back into Yis hands.
So, the strange beast was startled again, so it looked along the shadow of the arrow with tears in its eyes, and then glared fiercely at the direction of the tower...
"-- Draw your bow! Be prepared!"
However, Yi did not pay any attention to it, still with the same face of dominance -- Then, reminded by the team members, he picked up the telescope again to check... Suddenly, he leaked sideways!
-- Oh, why are you staring at me? Look again, look again, Ill get rid of you!
The bears eyes... scared Yi, he was flustered, but had to pretend to be calm -- he hesitated for a moment, but gave an unusual order, which made the team confused.
" yes!"
Then the leader of the archery team, with a very surprised face, made a gesture for the men to lay down their weapons.
"-- Your captain... shes going to use magic!"
After ordering the attack, Yi looked at the enemy in front of him and said with certainty: "-- So, her strength will be exhausted, which will affect the maintenance of this formation. If we attack now, we may only hurt ourselves..."
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Yi secretly reviewed --The energy of the arrow would gradually decrease with the increase of the shooting range. For ordinary strange beasts, this degree of energy was enough, but for those strange beasts like big monsters, the effect should be minimal!
"Keep your strength and wait for the next move!"
" yes!"
"Here I come!"
But shortly after Yi gave the order, the staff officer suddenly came running up the tower in small steps and humming a little song. He asked with a slight ease, "-- Won?"
"No --... how did it come so soon?" Seeing this, Yi was surprised, so surprised that he reflexed to bite his lip...
"-- The supper is all set. Ill have them bring it over in a while and Ill come over first," the aide replied with a smile.
" but ..."
"-- Oh, you really think Im a three-year-old!"
The advisor chuckled, "I know you mean well, but with such a formidable foe at our doorstep, how could I possibly back down? Though frail as I am... Im still useful enough - Ive swallowed more salt than youve eaten rice. Besides, even if we fight till our last breath, Ill stand with you all against this threat - for our homeland and our people!"
Then the elder brother looked at the stars and stroked his beard -- looking at this senior who was usually idle, idle and safe, but reliable in critical moments, the younger generation could not help feeling that this is what a guardian should be like.
"-- thats?"
Suddenly, the staff officer seemed to see something and exclaimed in surprise: "How about the captains secret technique?"
"Um... yes."
Yi nodded affirmatively and sighed, "She decided to take a risk. It has been a long time since I saw Qinger so impulsive... I hope we can make some time."
" time?"
The staff officer stood by, looked at Yi and asked in confusion: "-- Didnt you report the alliances request for reinforcements? What are you waiting for?"
Well... I dont know about that -- either!"
Yi shrugged his shoulders and exchanged glances with his staff. He said in a confused but determined voice: "Qing told me so. I think this must be my masters idea. Lets wait a little longer."
Then the two men put their hands to their chins and looked into the distance, expecting a miracle to happen...
"Secret technique: Rayya!"
On the battlefield, the enemy army has arrived and is preparing to encircle -- Of course, most of them are a little cowardly and still waiting...
However, the bear had begun to turn his eyes and prepare to vent his anger. It could be seen that it had a grim face and was pounding its protective layer with both hands with all its strength. Sound and light alternated and danger came...
At this moment, Qings eyes were already filled with murderous intent, yet she maintained composure. With one hand pressing against the protective shield, she remained motionless. --As a gleam flashed at the center of her forehead, she positioned her other hand at the light spot before her face, then swiftly brought it to her chest. She murmured the incantation again... assuming the posture for preparing secret techniques.
Then, green currents flashed all over Qings body from the inside out. As the rhythm of the flashes on his forehead increased, the currents gradually became brighter and larger.
"Wait a minute..." At that moment, a weak and familiar voice suddenly interrupted her -- it was her master!
"-- No, I cant wait!"
However, after talking to himself, Qing maintained the status quo and resolutely said: "Im sorry, Master! Im sorry for being rude this time..."
Qing had always obeyed the elders, but this time she was disobeying out of necessity, because there was a strange beast not far away that even she could barely handle, the giant monster --. Of course, the timid bear in front of her was negligible.
And the giant, originally an alien beast that should not have been here -- at this time, had no way out and had to go all out, because only attack is the best defense!
Then, Qing drew an elegant arc with his glowing finger in the air. The light energy from his body merged with the electric currents, surging upward and downward. As it descended in sync with the thunderclouds in the sky, it plunged into the earth and sprouted like bamboo shoots after rain. The two electric currents formed a fierce assault, like rows of teeth fiercely biting at the enemy...
All of a sudden, there was a huge crowd of strange animals, including the bear who was happily patting him, and the situation seemed to be looking up...
" pretty!"
At this moment, standing on the city tower, Yi saw this, could not help clapping and cheering.
"I said, Yes..."
But the aide, who was not in the mood to interrupt his drunken moment, asked a question that even he thought was a little stupid: "-- I have always wondered why our captain has never used his special skills."
A Guardians ultimate skill refers to abilities exclusively wielded by them through their specialized weapons, such as those demonstrated by the Archery Class earlier. As one of the most frequently utilized abilities, these skills are comparatively easier to master than secret arts. However, their power evolves with the Guardians growth, with the third stage wielding potency comparable to secret arts of their tier.
Well... Im not sure either
"No, you didnt grow up together -- Why dont you even know that and youre not curious?"
Yis reply made the staff even more confused...
"Probably because of the sword-- Qing had been so fond of swordsmanship since childhood that she hardly touched an arrow bow. Although we were famous for this, her master did not want to force her and even taught her martial arts manuals..."
"-- Ah!"
Suddenly, a loud roar shook the whole area. The conversation on the tower was interrupted again. Yi and his staff looked in the direction of the sound in surprise.
A colossal beast with gray fur and a silver-backed form stood on the battlefield, its massive frame commanding respect. --Having endured the intense assault, it had not weakened but instead grown even more ferocious, radiating an unusual fury. The silvery hairs on its back shimmered under the moonlight, creating a dazzling contrast. Its eyes glowed with a peculiar purplish hue as it swung its arms, pounding its chest in furious roars that shattered the tranquil night sky.
" thats!"
At this moment, the eyes of the staff officer and Yi suddenly enlarged, and they shouted together with great surprise... Why did such a strange beast appear among these enemy troops?
There are also various strange beasts living in the guardians territory. Although there are occasional attacks, they are usually caused by some kind of stimulation that causes pseudo-blackening, or some kind of abnormality in the process of evolution, but the number of such cases is very rare...
But now, large-scale, sustained, aggressive situations like this are rare -- let alone monsters like the Giant, which only exist in enemy ranks and can wrestle with a great hero-level guardian, but are real enemies!
"Brother, do you think this is a conspiracy?"
"-- Giant!"
Yi thought about it and turned to look for his brother-in-law, but the staff officer suddenly trembled slightly and leaned against the wall, shouting in panic.
After a moment, the staff member regained his senses, straightened up, and replied: "Hmm! You are probably right -- According to common sense, it cannot be explained!"
"Ouch... They pretended to retreat, and then they got into these strange beasts in the chaos, trying to break into our ranks and then attack. Its called east and west."
Suddenly, a terrible thought came to him, and he began to worry so much that smoke came out of his head.
The opposing forces mentioned here are the Wicked Ones, an ancient race that has been at odds with the Guardians for thousands of years. Although the two sides had maintained a delicate truce in recent decades, they suddenly broke their promise and launched a war just days ago!
"Youre a good soldier, kid. Its not impossible. After all, they have a very close relationship with the strange beasts."
The advisor, though unable to remain calm, still nodded in agreement. Lowering his head for a moment, he continued: "Current battle reports confirm the frontline forces have repelled the enemy -- After all, that guys been defeated. With their ultimate trump card gone, what kind of ripple could this cause? Even if theyve set up traps everywhere, it might not make much difference -- Besides, that thing might not even be a giant beast. Maybe these local monsters just got too comfortable, their heads grown too big!"
"-- No, aide-de-camp, come and look!"
However, after looking at the battlefield through the telescope, Yi interrupted the generals argument and said urgently, "There must be something wrong!"
"Um?"
The staff officer followed, taking a measured glance... Suddenly, his hand trembled and the telescope slipped from his grasp, clattering to the ground with a *thud* --. But lets be fair, this was a custom-made device-its quality was impeccable, not even damaged by such a fall. Whats more, this telescope delivered the same sharpness in both night and daylight conditions, featuring cutting-edge technologies like ultra-HD ultra-long-range zoom and multi-stable image stabilization.
The older brother, who looked a little flustered, froze for a moment, picked it up again, took a look at it and said, "Well, there must be something wrong..."
"Communications team! Report this situation to the alliance immediately, and remind the guard teams in each city to be on alert!"
After getting the approval of his staff, Yi did not listen and immediately gave instructions.
"-- But theres something wrong... -- No, the color is wrong..."
At this point, the aide-de-camp steadied himself, rubbed his eyes, and stared again and again.
" how to say?"
"Think about it -- This behemoth is the enemys main force, and given its massive size, how could it possibly slip past our defenses without a trace? Whats more, the creature that nearly cost me my life earlier is this very giant. I remember it vividly - its eyes dont quite match this ones, especially the coloration -- Could it be the monster from the Monster Research Institute that escaped and happened to pass through here? Thats a member of the Titanosauridae family, right?"
The Institute is a department under the Authority of Strange Beasts, specializing in the study of strange beasts, including but not limited to how to improve training efficiency, ability enhancement, shorten the time of evolution, and of course, the abnormal evolution phenomenon that has been frequently seen in recent years.
As mentioned earlier, most of the strange beasts living within the guardian clans barrier are in a normal state and are also called strange beasts. Among them, some of the more capable strange beasts can evolve under the guidance of the guardian clan or evolve on their own to a stage known as spiritual beasts.
The spirits are not only human, but also brave and good at fighting. They cooperate with the guardians to fight the enemy in battle, which provides a lot of help.
In contrast, when the enemys monster evolves to this stage, the guardians call it a monster -- those eyes that flash red, even purplish-red, are the characteristics of a monster.
The giant monster is the highest level among them. It is frenzied, vicious and violent, and is the main force in war. Therefore, this abnormal evolution phenomenon of the process of exotic beasts evolving into monsters is also called -- blackening!
"Brother, youre overthinking it -- impossible!"
Yis lips curved into a confident smile as he affirmed, "On my way back, I ran into two old acquaintances from the Administration Bureau. We chatted about the Research Institute, but they didnt mention anything unusual. Plus, theres only one giant monster in the institute-pitifully kept under tight surveillance like a treasure --. Also, all institute monsters have specific markings. This one doesnt seem to have any!"
"But the eyes of this giant creature felt very different from those I had encountered before. There was something wrong with it, especially the color of its eyes, which was a bit..."
"-- Hi! With your weak eyes, you cant see anything without a flaw in color... I look at it like a monster. How can every one of them be the same?"
After all, Yi knew most of the secrets of the staff officer, so he stood by confidently and cracked jokes with a smile, but the reality was cruel!
"@#￥%...&*"
Then, the two figures atop the city tower began arguing again. One kept rambling on while the other interrupted and countered -- Qing merely cast a distant glance at them, helplessly shaking his head before continuing to exert all his strength to maintain the formation -- for at that moment, the colossal beast was pounding the protective layer with full force...
" damnation ..."
Suddenly, Yi felt a chill down his back. As if he had received some signal, he looked at his girlfriend on the battlefield consciously. His lips trembled and he nodded with a smile.
"-- Oh, brother, I think too much about those things. Lets talk about them later!"
"But..."
