The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

"The enemy has set up a pincer attack formation with cavalry archers, trying to use the terrain to wear down our forces with ranged attacks first, right?"

"That's a good idea!"

"Order the heavy infantry to advance from the front, the long-range infantry to suppress them with crossfire, and the reconnaissance squads to flank them from both sides. Don't give them a chance to take advantage of the terrain."

Shortly after Su Qiong relayed the order, the battle between the two sides broke out almost simultaneously.

"Release the arrows!"

Within the Elven race, a general roared in fury.

Immediately afterwards, a rain of arrows poured down from the hilly highlands, the shafts of which were wreathed in a pale green magical glow, the sound of them piercing the air incessant, obscuring half the sky.

Despite the torrential downpour of attacks, the heavily armored warriors of the Calamity Army seemed to be handling the situation with ease.

The warriors in the front row raised their giant shields in unison.

At a command, hundreds of giant shields were joined together to form an impenetrable barrier.

"Ding ding ding ding ding—"

The dense rain of arrows struck the steel wall like raindrops, creating a continuous, crisp sound as they hit the shield wall.

However, this attack, though seemingly terrifying, was utterly incapable of penetrating the defenses erected by the heavily armored professionals.

A few arrows with strong penetrating power barely pierced the shield, leaving only a shallow indentation at the tip, causing no ripples whatsoever.

"Keep pushing forward!"

The commander of the heavy armored force roared behind the shield wall, but his steps did not stop at all. The entire shield wall was like a slowly rolling chariot, steadily crushing towards the elven positions.

Behind the shield wall, the ranged classes had already completed their spellcasting.

Hundreds of fireballs, ice spikes, and lightning bolts streaked across the sky, colliding head-on with the elven rain of arrows.

The explosions and the cracking of ice rose and fell in waves, accompanied by deafening roars that continued unabated.

The elven commander standing on the high ground.

Seeing the unmoving shield wall of the Shenxia army formation, his face instantly fell.

Clearly, long-range suppression was ineffective, and the rain of arrows could not stop the advance.

The battle had barely begun when they were already at a disadvantage.

He knew perfectly well that if this dragged on, and the enemy's heavy troops finally crashed into their lines, they would have already lost most of the battle before it even began.

"Order the priests to immediately cast a forbidden spell to summon the Silver Moon. No matter what kind of iron wall it is, I refuse to believe we can't smash through it!"

Thinking of this, he could only grit his teeth and give the order again.

Upon receiving the order, many of his deputies' faces darkened.

The Silver Moon Descends is a forbidden spell passed down through generations of elven priests. While its power is formidable, each cast requires the use of a large amount of magic reserves within the body.

Once activated, the priesthood's combat strength will be greatly reduced.

Admittedly, they have a large number of potions that can instantly restore magic power, but it is difficult to maintain them.

But given the current situation, there's no other way.

The next moment, the lieutenant turned and shouted to the priests behind him, "Form ranks! Chant the forbidden incantation!"

The moment the command was given, hundreds of elven priests knelt down almost simultaneously, forming hand seals and chanting incantations.

The deep, resonant chants of the skill gathered together and spread along the earth's veins.

"Buzz buzz buzz~!"

In an instant, the once clear sky was quickly shrouded in a thick layer of ink.

The wind stopped, the sounds of birds and beasts disappeared, and the entire Silver Fern Valley seemed to fall into silence.

Immediately after, at the very center of the sky.

A huge moon, gleaming with a ghostly silvery light, slowly emerged. On the moon, one could vaguely see countless tiny craters from meteorites.

Countless phantom runes appeared on the silver moon, their oppressive power causing the grass and trees on the hills below to bend.

"That is..."

In the ranks of the Calamity Army, many soldiers subconsciously held their breath, gazing at the silver moon looming overhead in the sky.

A chill, inexplicable to me, ran through my heart.

The moon didn't pause at all; almost the instant it appeared, it slowly pressed down on the positions of the Divine Xia Allied Forces.

The speed was not fast, but it carried a suffocating heaviness, as if the entire sky was about to collapse.

"Perfect timing!"

Upon seeing this, Li Tiezhu, who was standing at the front of the army, not only did not back down, but grinned.

He has been stationed at the very front of the shield wall for many years and is used to being in the first line of fire.

"Eternal fortifications, domain! Open!"

With a low growl, the space around Li Tiezhu suddenly trembled.

The next moment, a gleaming golden shield phantom slowly rose from behind him, and in an instant it expanded, completely enveloping the entire Divine Xia army formation below.

The phantom shield gleamed with a holy light, forming a stark contrast to the corrosive silver moon in the sky.

For a moment, light and shadow clashed fiercely across the entire battlefield.

"Boom—!"

The silver moon slammed into the shield phantom, and a violent explosion instantly swept outwards, with shockwaves spreading outwards at a visible speed.

The ground of the entire Silver Fern Valley trembled violently at that moment, and rocks on both sides of the valley collapsed one after another, raising a cloud of dust.

"Grass!!!"

Li Tiezhu's feet were firmly planted on the ground, the veins in his arms bulged, and his face turned bright red.

Even with his formidable domain defense, the terrifying pressure of being subjected to a forbidden spell cast by multiple people still made him curse out loud.

"Hold on! Brothers, hold on!"

The heavily armored warriors in the back roared in unison, gathering their magic to support the area and try to relieve the pressure on Li Tiezhu.

Fortunately, Li Tiezhu's domain ultimately withstood this wave of forbidden spells.

When the light of the silver moon completely dimmed and dissipated into the void, the shield phantom, though showing several fine cracks, remained firmly suspended above the army formation, without collapsing.

"Damn it... I couldn't break through their defenses!"

The elven general, watching this scene from afar, looked even more grim.

After all, this was one of the strongest measures these rearguard teams could muster, yet they couldn't even break through the enemy's defenses head-on.

Such a gap is truly disheartening.

However, the Elven offensive did not stop there.

Just as the aftershocks of the forbidden spell explosion had not completely dissipated, a series of muffled thuds suddenly came from the jungle on both sides of the valley.

"Cavaliers, attack!"

With a command from the commander of the knights.

The elven knights, who had been lying in ambush on the flanks, surged out of the dense forests on both sides of the hills like two green torrents, attacking the two flanks of the Shenxia army.

These knights were not riding ordinary warhorses, but rather silver-maned giant stags raised by the elves.

The four hooves barely made a sound as they trotted the ground, and their speed was astonishing.

The knights held long lances, wore heavy armor, and the tips of their lances gleamed with a faint green light.

Clearly, these were all elite combatants carefully selected from within the clan, intending to use this surprise attack to tear open the defenses of the Shenxia army from the flank.
