After the Queen Bee left, Lear once again adjusted his combat strategy, allowing the Ancient Tree Guardians to take root in the earth.

Revealing their strongest form… the Defense Tower.

The gray-black roots drilled into the ground like augers, and these giants settled firmly.

Beginning to devour the Power of the Earth.

A portion of the roots left on the surface quickly coagulated into gigantic rocks.

After the three-meter diameter rocks had formed, the roots flexibly passed them upwards like octopus tentacles.

The Ancient Tree Guardian's arm-like branches grabbed the massive stones with a sudden clutch, and its trunk bent slightly backward.

With a brief power storage, it burst forth.

Whoosh~

The enormous rock was flung out by hand.

It drew a long trace in the sky, then suddenly plummeted down.

Violently crashing into the Demon Army.

Splush~

Seven or eight Fallen Demons hit directly were crushed into pulp.

Several demons who luckily escaped from the giant stone were yet to rejoice when they suddenly felt tearing pain in their bodies.

With their last sight, they saw the giant stone exploded like a bomb!

Countless sharp fragments with terrifying force covered a range of twenty to thirty meters around.

The nearby Fallen Demons directly had their bodies pierced through, erupting in splashes of blood.

A single rock throw could clear a vast area instantly.

And the Ancient Tree Guardians' ammunition was infinite.

As long as they are rooted to the earth, they can continuously devour the Power of the Earth to coagulate giant rocks.

What's more daunting is... at this moment, there were as many as 20 Ancient Tree Guardians!

That was equivalent to 20 cannon platforms!

Whoosh whoosh~

The whistling sound in the air was incessant.

One massive stone after another smashed into the Demon Tide.

The densely packed Demon Army was bombarded repeatedly by these 20 cannon platforms.

From a bird's-eye view above.

Every time a stone fell into an area, a burst of blood flowers would explode.

Leaving behind a large number of wounded or directly dead demons.

Subsequently, the rear troops charged in without hesitation, trampling over their own wounded companions or corpses...

The scene was highly visually impactful.

Even the most top-tier movie special effects couldn't depict such a terrifying scene.

These 12-level high-tier units, the Ancient Tree Guardians, were displaying destructive power far beyond their rank.

Causing an exaggerated blow to the Demon Tide.

The Fallen Demon Army, after barely withstanding the rock barrage, would soon face a mixed defense line formed by the Cold-blooded Cavalry and the Deserted Tomb Guard.

Individual warriors, the Fallen Demons could resist if prepared.

But the cooperative combat of the Cold-blooded Cavalry and Deserted Tomb Guard made it impossible for them to defend.

The Cold-blooded Cavalry attacked first, and when the Fallen Demons were ready to meet their war sabers, the Deserted Tomb Guard suddenly sprang out from behind, reaping souls with scythes.

Or the Deserted Tomb Guard attracted attention, and the Cold-blooded Cavalry suddenly charged again.

The strategy was all about the element of surprise.

The Deserted Tomb Guards had no physical form, immune to physical damage, offering great tactical flexibility.

The Cold-blooded Cavalry, with the strength of rider and mount combined, violently and frenziedly burst forth, leaving the Fallen Demons unable to defend.

The duo alternated attacks, efficiently strangling the demons charging forward.

The Dark Night Elves still overlooked the battlefield from the Ancient Tree Guardians.

Once there was a need to assist or a besieged area fell into crisis, their arrows would precisely hit the enemy's vitals.

If not for limited arrows, without worrying about their own safety, their slaughter efficiency would not be lower than anyone's!

Lear, seeing the slightly awkward expressions of the Dark Night Elves, raised his eyebrows slightly.

Indeed, war is all about logistics.

The warriors charging at the front need solid armor, sharp weapons.

The archers at the back also need powerful longbows and high-tier arrows.

As it is now, if territorial development is slow and logistics can't keep up, even such a powerful unit like the Dark Night Elves cannot perform well.

His heart became more determined to accelerate the territory's development.

Without a strong territory as a support, even with an army, a lack of logistics would weaken them, or even cause major losses.

The battle quickly continued for half an hour, and after the frontline adapted to the attack rhythm of the Fallen Demons, it gradually stabilized.

Seeing this, Lear went to the Abyssal Demon Iron Ore and started to inspect it carefully.

The ore was mostly exposed, slightly loose, not the kind that was connected together.

The difficulty of mining wasn't high.

This made him inwardly excited.

Once the troglodytes arrive, they could get to work.

If he could extract all the 4-star Abyssal Demon Iron out and use it to forge weapons and equipment for the army...

How much strength would that add?!

Just thinking about it was thrilling.

Time flew by, and this high-intensity tug-of-war lasted until the early morning.

The time reached September 19th.

Shortly after midnight, the second batch of reinforcements from Weilu City finally arrived.

20 Ancient Tree Guardians, plus two hundred troglodytes.

The Ancient Tree Guardians coming in from the side of the demon horde quickly encountered trouble.

The number of the Fallen Demon Army was too great, directly pinning their movement.

Without other troops to cooperate, the Fallen Demons began climbing the trees, attempting to cut down the trunks.

Seeing this, Lear frowned slightly.

With a thought, the swarm in the sky still in ample numbers swooped down fiercely.

Instantly tearing a huge space for the Ancient Tree Guardians, slaughtering the demons ahead, leaving a field of corpses.

With support, the Ancient Tree Guardians' combat power surged, continuing to advance, pushing aside demon corpses and reaching the iron mine.
