Upon hearing this, General Huan showed no sign of panic and calmly issued the orders.
"Proceed to your respective positions according to the plan."
"Except for the battle fairies, all other fairies should evacuate the front lines."
"The reserves are to assemble at the rear and are not to move without my order."
Upon receiving the order, the fairy immediately transformed into a streak of light and relayed the message outwards.
General Huan looked at Qin Ze and said, "The beasts don't give the soldiers any time to rest. One wave after another, I don't know how much longer we can hold out."
Qin Ze already had a guess in his mind, but he still needed to witness it with his own eyes.
I want to go out and see the world.
General Huan nodded. "I will accompany you."
The two took to the air after leaving the underground command post.
Qin Ze gazed into the distance and saw yellow dust billowing up on the horizon, with a dark, surging herd of beasts approaching like a tide.
"Roar--"
"Giggle~ Giggle~"
"Waaaaah--"
The terrifying roar of the strange beast soared into the sky.
Having experienced numerous battles, the Forest Clan warriors were already accustomed to this. Faced with the overwhelming tide of beasts, they remained remarkably calm, and not a single person left their fighting position.
The vast majority of fairies had already left the battlefield, with only a small number remaining among the tree spirits.
Looking down from Qin Ze's perspective, one could see streaks of white light flashing back and forth like lightning.
"A thousand tree spacing!"
"Eight hundred tree distances!"
"Five hundred tree distances!"
"Three hundred tree spacing!"
"..."
The fairy continuously relayed the approach distance to the tree spirits on the battlefield.
When the vanguard of the beast tide was only one step away from the position, all the Tree Bearer on the position held hands.
They pressed their legs tightly together, with several roots extending outwards from the Sidelines of their feet and digging deep into the soil.
Its brown skin began to gradually turn into tree-like forms, and the branches on its forehead shimmered and continued to grow stronger.
Immediately afterwards, the tree spirits' bodies began to grow rapidly, reaching a height of nearly ten meters in an instant.
The branch above their heads had transformed into a lush canopy, with specks of green fluorescence constantly drifting downwards, draping the Tree Bearer in a green cloak.
From a distance, the Tree Bearer, hand in hand, form a continuous green Great Wall.
Boom boom boom--
The beast horde crashed into the green Great Wall, and the first wall was breached instantly.
The tree spirit's body was torn to pieces.
Some were broken in half, some lost half their bodies, and almost no intact tree spirits remained standing on the first line of defense.
The second, third, and fourth sections of the Great Wall were breached in succession.
The tree spirits suffered heavy casualties, but they effectively hindered the advance of the beast tide.
These green walls act like barriers, constantly slowing down the charging speed of the monsters.
The Great Wall is riddled with various traps and formations, which can inflict exceptional damage on strange beasts.
The fairies retreated as the beast tide advanced.
Once one of the green walls is breached, the fairy will immediately report the distance to the enemy to the tree spirit on the next green wall.
The entire process was orderly and well-organized.
General Huan shoulder to shoulder with Qin Ze, grew increasingly solemn.
"This beast tide is more ferocious than ever before."
Only two sections of the Green Great Wall remain; these are the last lines of defense for the defensive position.
If the last green wall is breached, the reserve force will immediately engage the alien beasts in close combat.
Behind the reserve team lies the entrance to the Forest Clan World.
If the fighting really escalates to that point, the Forest Clan World will be in grave danger.
What you fear most is what will happen.
The penultimate line of defense was quickly shattered by the beast tide.
General Huan ordered the fairy beside him, "Have the reserves prepare. Even if it's just one man left, we must not let a single beast cross the gate."
The fairy instantly transformed into white lightning and relayed the order to the reserve team.
Qin Ze's attention was not on the attacking beast tide, but rather he was straining to see what lay behind it.
Qin Ze has experienced many beast tides and Tide, large and small.
But he had never seen a beast tide so well organized.
Beasts are a bunch of mindless creatures, and even the vast majority of high-level beasts are like that.
They rely solely on instinct, overwhelming numbers and superiority, to swarm forward.
However, the beasts attacking the Forest Clan this time were coordinated perfectly by the other side.
Although it appears to be a dark, chaotic mass.
However, upon closer observation, it is not difficult to see that the dozens of strange beasts huddled together, but broke into countless small teams, with each team taking turns to charge.
Some were responsible for the main attack, some for the feint attack, and there were even reserves.
Qin Ze also saw several beasts with healing abilities. They did not charge with the group, but stayed in the middle and rear of the beast tide, stacking healing buffs on the beasts that went to deliver the attack.
All signs indicate that these strange beasts are currently being directed by a common brain.
Qin Ze couldn't help but think of the S-class alien beast that Brother Devour.
General Huan took a deep breath and said, "I had hoped to have a longer chat with you to understand the situation outside, but it seems that the opportunity is now lost."
Qin Ze raised his right arm to block General Huan: "It doesn't intend to take you down this time."
General Huan frowned.
He didn't understand Qin Ze's meaning.
Some of the strange beasts on the lower position have already broken through the second-to-last green Great Wall and are rushing towards the last line of defense. General Huan wants to go down to provide support.
Qin Ze said calmly, "They're retreating."
General Huan was baffled.
retreat?
How could that be?
One should press on with one's might, but the momentum wanes with each attempt, and exhaustion follows with each subsequent one.
If he were a mythical beast, he would never retreat at this critical juncture.
Even at great cost and with heavy casualties, we must break through all the defenses in one fell swoop.
Qin Ze said in a deep voice, "We'll wait and see."
As soon as he finished speaking, the beast tide suddenly stopped and began to retreat in echelons.
Even when the vanguard was only a step away from the final Green Wall, they did not attempt to attack, but instead decisively withdrew along the same route.
In less than half an hour, nearly 100,000 alien beasts withdrew from the Forest Clan's outpost, leaving behind 20,000 to 30,000 alien beast corpses.
General Huan opened his eyes wide and took a long time to come back to his senses.
He breathed a long sigh of relief; the Forest Clan had once again weathered a crisis.
General Huan asked, "How did you determine that they would retreat just now?"
Qin Ze countered, "Aren't the beast tides getting bigger with each attack, and each time they manage to break through one or two more lines of defense than the last?"
General Huan nodded.
He discovered that the Senior Dasha hired by the Light-Speed Fairy was just as unfathomable as that wandering Sage.
Qin Ze watched the beast horde retreat into the distance and said calmly, "So far, it has only been probing attacks."
"It wants to ascertain the specific layout of this position and its weak points."
General Huan asked incredulously, "Do strange beasts have brains?"
He thought that strange beasts were all mindless wild animals.
Hearing the analysis from the Senior Dasha, my heart sank.
