I can evolve everything

Chapter 99 Elite Squad

Then, the sky collapsed.

In that instant, the explosive magic arrays on both cliffs were activated simultaneously.

Hundreds of tons of boulders and ice blocks, mixed with the residual explosive flames from the magic circle, fell towards the monster horde.

The scene was both spectacular and cruel.

The massive rocks instantly smashed open patches of space in the previously crowded herd of beasts.

Even more terrifying were the flames that fell along with the falling rocks.

They clung to the falling rubble, exploding upon impact with the ground and reigniting the monsters that had miraculously survived the crushing.

The originally menacing beast tide was stunned by this sudden trap.

Those in front were blocked at the city gate, unable to move forward or backward; those in the middle were smashed into mincemeat by falling rocks; and those behind, trying to retreat, were blocked by their own kind even further behind.

Amidst this chaos, the opportunity that Renne had been waiting for finally arrived.

At the tail of the horde of monsters, in the buffer zone between the first and second lines of defense.

Several large dire wolves appeared particularly agitated.

They circled in place, growling softly, seemingly hesitant about whether to move forward or backward.

The giant white wolf, surrounded by them, finally stopped.

It raised its enormous head and stared intently at the cliffs on either side where rocks were still tumbling down, as if it had realized that this was not a natural disaster, but a trap.

But the number of monsters was still large, and the weak humans had retreated inside the city walls.

Now, as long as they are slowly consumed, those soldiers will naturally become their dinner.

In its view, this was already a victory.

But in the shadows halfway up the mountain, Renn slowly drew his greatsword from behind his back.

The wind and snow seemed to stand still at that moment.

Raine stood on a snow-covered rock protrusion, his breathing beneath his visor quite heavy.

Its own rye was right next to it, seemingly sensing the threat of the monster, and nervously digging at the snowdrift. It sensed its master's murderous intent, and the oppressive feeling and the threat of the monster below made the fine steed both instinctively excited and terrified.

"Six hundred meters, that's about how far we are from that pack of dire wolves."

"Ella said softly as she finished tightening the girth of the saddle," Ella said.

"There are at least four hundred monsters in between."

"Scared?" Renn didn't turn around, his gaze fixed on the massive dire wolf.

That beast was very clever, extremely clever.

It stood at the edge of the battlefield, and no matter how many monsters died in front of it, it did not move an inch.

The circle of dire wolves surrounding it had been silently observing the situation from the first line of defense.

"Afraid?" Ella mounted her horse, her red hair flying in the wind. "I'm afraid you'll get smashed to pieces by those ogres before you even get there. I won't be able to bring your corpse back then."

"Then don't bring it."

Raine got ready, pulled down the visor of his helmet, and his vision was instantly limited to a horizontal line.

The world has narrowed, but it has also become clearer.

With the helmet providing protection, most of the noise from the wind and snow disappeared at this moment, while the pounding of Renn's heart became even more pronounced.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

The Black Rock Breathing Method has begun to operate.

The body, which had become somewhat stiff from lying prone in the snow for a long time, instantly became flushed with blood and reached its optimal state.

Listen.

Renn gave the team behind him a final call to action.

"After that, it's all about going all out. There's no need for formations. I'll charge ahead, and you all stick close to my horse. Don't worry about anyone falling behind; our only goal is to charge forward."

The seventeen elite soldiers behind him nodded silently and followed in Rein's footsteps, drawing their weapons.

They are the most experienced warriors in the North, and they are prepared to sacrifice themselves at any time.

Only Thales, trembling, stuffed two rolls into his sleeve. His face was pale, but he gritted his teeth and sat on one of the soldiers' horses—he couldn't ride a horse, so he could only sit behind the others.

"For the gold coins—for the North—" the mage muttered, trying to suppress his fear with his faith in the gold coins and the North.

Renn took one last look at the white figure in the distance.

The dire wolf was still there, its head held high in arrogance, completely unaware of the presence of Renn and his group.

"Rush."

Ryan mounted his horse, uttered a single word coldly, and then loosened the reins.

In order to make as little noise as possible, the sound was not loud, and was even just like the usual tone, but at this moment it was like a bowstring snapping.

With a neigh, the horse kicked up a cloud of snow with its hind legs and charged swiftly down the steep snow slope from the mountainside.

Under the influence of gravity, the nineteen elite riders swooped down from the heights, transforming into a sharp blade that plunged into the tide of demonic creatures.

The gnolls and ogres at the foot of the mountain hadn't even realized what was happening. They only heard thunderous hooves overhead, and when they looked up, they saw a storm of steel.

There was no chopping.

At this speed and due to inertia, the physical exertion required for a slash is enormous.

Raine held the two-handed greatsword horizontally at his elbow with one hand, the tip of the sword level with the horse's head.

This sword is too long, too wide, and too heavy to be used as a cavalry sword. However, it is quite suitable as a heavy lance.

Renn's horsemanship was rather average, and he wasn't used to wielding a sword on horseback, so he didn't have much skill.

It's all about pure speed and power.

puff!

The tip of the two-handed greatsword struck a gnoll who was looking up.

The creature didn't even have time to scream before its chest was pierced, and the entire monster was impaled on the sword.

The greatsword's power remained undiminished, piercing through the two kobolds behind it as well.

But this is only the beginning.

Using the momentum of the galloping horse, all Raine needed to do was swing his greatsword, which was covered with the corpses of monsters, so that the corpses would fly away. Then he held the sword horizontally. The sword was a forty-five-pound iron weapon. With the weight of the man and the horse, which weighed several hundred pounds, plus the speed of the horse rushing down the mountainside, the impact was significant.

This squad was like an invincible war machine at this moment.

Anything blocking his way, whether bone or muscle, was incredibly fragile in front of Renn.

But Ryan also felt a violent tremor in his arm and numbness in the web of his hand.

The sword's edge caught on the shoulder of an ogre, whose massive body was thrown off balance by the impact of the warhorse and fell to the side.

"Drill it in!"

Ryan shouted.

This squad's first wave of attack was the most intense and also the most successful.

They instantly tore through the outer flank defenses of the beast tide.

Seventeen cavalrymen followed closely behind, their spears and sabers mercilessly reaping the monsters that blocked their path.

But as they went deeper, the team's stamina was rapidly depleting, and the resistance began to increase exponentially.
