On the battlefield, Lin Ye was locked in a fierce battle with a Beast General Giant Wolf.

Facing a General-level Monster for the first time, Lin Ye threw himself into the fight with complete focus, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

He did not dare gamble with his own life.

"Heh... this Beast General's hide is really tough. Hopefully, it'll fetch a good price!"

Lin Ye narrowed his eyes and glanced at the Battle Saber that had snapped in two.

He then drew his spare Battle Saber and chuckled. "Looks like I'll need to get a better blade when I return to the fortress."

With Dual Blades in hand, Lin Ye launched another attack!

"Awooo!!!"

The enormous monster, covered entirely in blood, stared fixedly at Lin Ye, a hoarse and furious howl rumbling from its throat.

He leaped into the air, raised his Battle Sabers high, and slashed down at the already battered Giant Wolf.

"Die... for me!!"

This strike gathered his conviction and all his strength. It was a peak blow.

Squelch!

Crack!

The sounds of flesh splitting and bones breaking rang out at the same time. The two broken blades followed the wounds they had left earlier and sank deeply into its body...

The Beast General Giant Wolf's enormous body froze in place, completely motionless.

During its prolonged fight with Lin Ye, it had already lost more than half its blood.

Its speed, strength, and reactions had all weakened to the extreme.

Lin Ye, on the other hand, only grew fiercer as he fought.

It was as though he had endless strength in his body, attacking without pause... Every attack left deep wounds across its massive wolf body.

Yet every one of its attacks was avoided by him.

"Damnable human..."

The Gray Giant Wolf's eyes gradually turned gray, losing their original terrifying brilliance.

Even in death, they reflected Lin Ye's figure, as though it wanted to remember this human forever...

Bang—

At last, the Gray Giant Wolf's massive corpse crashed to the ground.

[You have killed one Junior Beast General and gained fifty Attribute Points!]

The cold electronic voice rang out, and Lin Ye was instantly delighted.

A full fifty Attribute Points!

That was equivalent to killing more than ten beast soldiers in one go!

"Phew... phew... phew..."

After taking several deep breaths, Lin Ye calmed his heaving chest and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

By now, his entire body was drenched in sweat, as if he had just crawled out of water.

After glancing at the Giant Wolf's corpse, he immediately pulled out a pack of high-energy food and quickly wolfed it down with a drink.

The intense battle just now had consumed far too much of his stamina.

In Lin Ye's current state, even a High-level Beast Soldier could easily take him down.

[Name: Lin Ye (Junior Battle General)] [Attribute Points: 50] [Movement Technique: Microscopic Level (Proficiency 95/100)] [Strength: 8600 kg] [Speed: 104 m/s] [Mind: Psychic Power (Gray)] [Domain: Not Activated (Gray)] [Doppelganger: Not Activated (Gray)] [...]

After checking his status panel, Lin Ye immediately allocated his points and began a new round of support.

Wherever he went, the Monsters that had broken into the defensive position were all cut down with brutal precision.

His killing was sharp and decisive!

Another gale of slaughter swept through the battlefield.

At the same time, the Beast General-level kill drew the attention of the nearby Martial Artists.

The weight in their hearts finally lifted.

Though these battle-hardened men had seen War Generals fight Beast General-level Monsters before, it was their first time witnessing someone weaker defeat someone stronger like this. They were utterly shaken.

"This kid has limitless potential. In the future, he may even reach the heights of Hong and Thunder God..."

Mentioning these two beings at the pinnacle of the Martial Artist pyramid, he revealed deep awe and envy.

"When will our Great Xia military have an expert like him? Then the countless brothers who have sacrificed themselves resisting the Monsters all these years will not have died in vain!"

Another soldier, supported by his companion, looked at Lin Ye with shining eyes.

It was as though he were looking at a rising new star among Martial Artists...

Atop the watchtower, Li Yunfei lowered his binoculars.

"We need to find a way to recruit him. He's a Martial Artist comparable to a War General, and he's still so young. His future achievements will surely be extraordinary!"

Years of battlefield experience allowed the keen-eyed officer to instantly judge Lin Ye's combat strength.

A talent like this was worth recruiting for the War Dragon Regiment.

Then, he raised his binoculars and looked farther into the distance.

Five kilometers away, atop a hill covered in low shrubs.

A Giant Wolf seven or eight times larger than an ordinary Wolf-like Monster stood silently there.

From afar, it looked like the front of a train standing on the hillside.

Around it, three Intermediate Beast General Gray Wolves guarded its left and right sides, silently watching the battlefield.

Even from several thousand meters away, he could still sense that savage and violent aura.

"This is... a High-level Beast General?" the middle-aged officer said in surprise.

"What a terrifying presence!"

Even this colonel and Regiment Commander, who had endured countless trials of blood and fire, felt a trace of fear when facing that High-level Beast General.

Seeing this, the chief of staff beside him, Zhang Biao, suggested, "Regiment Commander, our DF Ballistic Missile is already in position. How about we give them a shot and send them on their way?"

"I think that'll work!" the middle-aged Regiment Commander, Li Yunfei, nodded.

"Then I'll send word to the Command Center and request ballistic missile supp— No! Wait!!"

Suddenly, Li Yunfei's eyes widened in disbelief.

Because the scene before him had changed.

Awooo~~

As if it had sensed danger, the High-level Beast General Gray Giant Wolf in his field of vision suddenly let out a long howl.

As though sounding the retreat, the Monsters in the distance withdrew like a receding tide.

"Phew..."

Watching the Beast Tide retreat, Li Yunfei let out a long breath.

Yet before he could relax even slightly, a shadow fell over him once more.

It seemed that this High-level Beast General-level Monster had already developed considerable intelligence.

Did that not mean future battles would only become more difficult?

"Xiao Sun, write up a battle report on today's encounter with the Beast Tide within an hour. Include the Martial Artists and soldiers our unit lost, as well as the number of Monsters killed."

Li Yunfei spoke to a young staff officer beside him who looked like a clerk.

"Yes!" The young staff officer adjusted his glasses and nodded.

"Regarding that final High-level Beast General, recommend that the Command Center strengthen reconnaissance and defenses around all major shelters. I have a bad feeling about this."

Thinking of that highly intelligent High-level Beast General Giant Wolf, Li Yunfei furrowed his brows tightly.

From the moment he first saw that Beast General, a faint shadow had hung over his heart and refused to disperse.

"Regiment Commander, are you worried it might evolve into a Lord Monster?" Staff Officer Zhang asked tentatively.

"Yes!" Hearing the question, Li Yunfei's expression grew even darker, and he nodded.

"A Beast Tide led by a Lord Monster would be enough to destroy several small and medium-sized shelters."

"A Lord Monster... Then I'll write this into the battle report and remind the Command Center to pay attention to the issue." Staff Officer Zhang took out a notebook and began writing rapidly.

"Oh, and include the performance of that Martial Artist who joined the battlefield midway in the battle report as well. He is a benefactor of our War Dragon Regiment."

Zhang Biao nodded. "That's a must!"
