I can evolve everything

Chapter 90 Beast Tide (6)

The black pine forest, which was originally covered with thick snow, has now turned into a sea of ​​blood.

Countless towering black pine trees were snapped in half, and blazing flames leaped through the forest, while thick smoke nearly pierced a hole in the sky.

In that burning pine forest, the walls of Valen's encampment were surrounded by monsters.

Densely packed, endless.

Not only direwolves and ogres, but Renn also saw rotten boars covered in pustules, snow goblins wielding crude bone spears, and some huge mutated brown bears.

They are currently frantically climbing the fortress's five-meter-high walls.

"This quantity—"

Ella, riding on horseback, looked somewhat pale.

Her extraordinary perception allowed her to see more information than others.

"There are at least two thousand." She was even a little scared. "And there are more coming this way."

"Where is Valen?" Ryan ignored the numbers; his eyes searched the battlefield like a hawk's.

"On the wall!"

Hank pointed to the southeast corner of the wall, his voice urgent, "That's the Griffin Squadron's flag! It's still standing!"

Renn looked in the direction the finger was pointing.

On that section of the city wall that suffered the most severe siege from the monsters, a griffin banner still flutters in the wind.

Beneath the flag, a figure is roaring.

That's Valen.

But his current condition looks rather bad.

His helmet was missing, and his face was covered in blood, whether it was his own or the filthy blood splattered on him by the monsters, it was hard to tell.

"Get out of here!!!"

Valen continued to yell, "Want to eat my flesh? I'll break your teeth!!"

Although he was still yelling, Renn could tell that Valen wouldn't be able to keep up this pace for long.

Valen was emitting billowing white steam, his breathing rapid and disordered. If Renn was not mistaken, Valen was currently pushing his breathing technique to its limit, and every swing of his sword was depleting his future stamina.

However, he seemed to have plenty of energy at the moment, constantly slaying the many monsters climbing up the city wall.

But of the soldiers around him, probably less than half are still standing.

The defense line is crumbling.

A snow ape is stepping on the corpse of its companion, trying to leap onto the city wall.

"There's no time to set up the formation."

Renn withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the team behind him.

"Thales".

"Here, here—" The old mage pulled out his staff, quite frightened by the sight before him.

"See that densest pine forest?" Renn pointed behind the monster horde. "Set it on fire."

"Setting fire here? The wind direction is—"

"Ignore the wind!" Ryan interrupted him. "I'm going to cut off their reinforcements. Block the road!"

'

"Vina."

"exist."

"Take your medical team and follow behind the commando team."

"clear."

Renn took a deep breath and drew his two-handed greatsword from his back.

"The remaining soldiers, along with crossbowmen, provided cover on both flanks."

"Others————"

Raine turned his horse around, his sword pointing directly at the black tide.

"Charge with me!"

"Target: The Griffin Flag!"

"kill!!!"

Rumble—

Two hundred reinforcements climbed the city wall from the rear of their encampment.

Ryan took the lead.

He leaped off his horse when he was still fifty meters from the battlefield.

His feet shattered the frozen ground, and the enormous impact was perfectly absorbed by his body.

He was like a human tank, using the momentum of his landing to smash a group of monsters that were climbing up the city wall.

"Get out of here!"

He swept the greatsword in his hand.

It's like shoveling snow with a shovel.

The broad black blade instantly cleared away all living things within a five-meter fan-shaped area in front of it.

The fragile snow goblin didn't even have time to scream before it was sent flying, the sound of bones shattering echoing through the air.

"Reinforcements! Reinforcements!!"

On the city wall, the soldiers, who had been in despair, saw this scene and couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Hearing the noise, Valen turned his head sharply.

"Raine————"

"You really came!"

"Don't just stand there! Defend the left flank!"

Raine's roar pierced through the clamor of the battlefield and reached Valen's ears.

He did not stop.

The Black Rock Breathing Technique within Raine was operating at full speed. With each breath, scorching white vapor was exhaled.

A dire wolf, oblivious to danger, pounced from the left side of the city wall, its jaws snapping open as it lunged at Renn's throat.

Without even looking, Ryan slammed his left elbow back.

Click!

The wolf's skull caved in instantly, and it flew away howling. At the same time, the greatsword in his right hand swung down, cleaving a ghoul that was trying to ambush him in two from head to toe.

too fast.

It's too heavy.

"Ella! Cover!"

"knew!"

The half-elf girl moved swiftly along the edge of the city wall. Unlike Renn, she didn't charge head-on, but instead used the high mobility of the Wind Whisperer's Breathing Technique to leap between tree trunks and rocks.

"These two are simply born killing machines."

The veteran following behind directed the crossbowmen to fire while sighing with admiration.

With the addition of this new force, the previously precarious defense line was finally stabilized.

Raine joined the battlefield command and immediately began loudly directing the two hundred reinforcements.

The two hundred soldiers from Shattered Tooth Canyon quickly obeyed orders, filled the gaps in the defenses, and rebuilt the lines.

Without stopping, Ryan strode toward Valen.

"Looks like you're not dead yet."

With a single sword strike, Raine pinned a blizzard ape that was attempting to ambush Valen from behind to the ground.

"Haaaaaah!"

Valen kicked the corpse in front of him aside, wiped the blood off his face, and a hearty smile reappeared, although it looked somewhat ferocious on his blood-stained face.

"I'm a full-fledged knight, these trash aren't even worth a second."

He glanced at the blood-dripping greatsword in Renn's hand: "You got here pretty fast, kid. And also, I finally get to see you wield this two-handed greatsword. Quite impressive!"

"I'm not even as good as you."

Renn could see it clearly: although Valen looked disheveled, it was only because he had been at the forefront absorbing damage.

In fact, Valen's aura was still lingering, and although the fluctuations in life energy had weakened, they were far from being exhausted.

This is the foundation of a young, formally trained knight.

"Stop flattering each other."

Ella's voice came from above.

"Those beasts are still climbing! And—" Ella's voice turned shrill, "that big guy is coming up!"

Before he could finish speaking...

The entire city wall suddenly shook.

A two-headed ogre, larger than a normal ogre, roared as it leaped over the battlements.

What it held in its hand was not a simple bone club, but a thick iron chain that had been taken from somewhere, with a huge iron ball attached to the end.
