All-out Tower Defense: My Card-Drawing Talent is a Bit Strange

Chapter 135 Elf Force

Each jump caused the tree to tremble in the slightest, and the same was true when landing; even when landing on a small branch less than a finger's width wide, there was no tremor.

This is quite amazing. This ability seems to have transcended the scope of normal martial artists. Even if Yang Fei were to advance to the fourth or even fifth rank, he would probably find it difficult to achieve this.

Controlling one's landing and concealing one's aura is not difficult, but it is probably impossible to do it to the level of an elf. Yang Fei can ensure that he lands normally on a small branch, but this will definitely cause the branch to deform. It is impossible to land without any shaking.

"This must be a special characteristic of the Elf race itself. Humans like me can't learn it, so there's no need to force it." Yang Fei rarely envied others and always liked to examine himself, but this was more or less a form of self-avoidance and an unwillingness to face reality.

However, this is also the fundamental reason why Yang Fei's optimistic personality can be maintained. Otherwise, if you see others doing something but you can't, it's easy to develop feelings of inferiority.

Before long, Norahil returned with Veranel. The two quickly came to Yang Fei's side and bowed deeply to him once again: "Honorable Master, the Fallen Elf pays homage to you~"

"Okay, you guys go and form a team. I need 8 farmers at the Martial Realm, 1 foreman at the Martial Realm who can command construction workers, and at least 80 elves who can use ballistae to participate in the upcoming battle."

"Yes, we'll go and gather the tribesmen right away." Upon hearing Yang Fei's request, Veranel became excited, just like Norahil. She hurriedly gave the order to Norahil beside her. After Norahil bid farewell to Yang Fei, she went back into the mountains.

"Master, do you have any requirements for the participating elves? Also, I would like to ask, what do you need Martial Realm farmers and Martial Realm foremen for?" After seeing Norahil off, Veranel seemed to remember something and cautiously asked a question.

She asked very carefully, as if afraid of saying something wrong and displeasing Yang Fei. There was no other way; as the current leader of the Fallen Elves, she had to consider her sisters. Participating in the war was a must, as it was the foundation for the revival of the Fallen Elves. So she only asked about their needs, but in reality, she wished that all the elves would join in, as this would make it more likely that a powerful elf would be born.

As for asking about the farmers and foremen at the Martial Realm level, it was out of curiosity. The farmers were easy to understand; she had heard Yang Fei mention before that he needed the Elven race to help him grow some crops. But what did the foreman do? That didn't seem to be part of the plan.

She had observed before that the buildings on the entire sky island either appeared out of thin air or were built by the demons themselves, with the humans showing no intention of participating whatsoever.

In other words, this great lord likely needs demons to build structures exclusively for him, as other races cannot help him construct buildings. It's unexpected that he would need elves like himself!

"The elven farmer is the one we agreed on beforehand, but the foreman is a last-minute decision. I need her to lead my ten subordinates to help me build the port. Ideally, neither of them should have any obvious external injuries, because the farmer and the foreman have a lot of work to do."

"There are no requirements for the number of participating spirits. The more the better. If there are fewer than eighty, it is best if the participating spirits are not injured or sick, because there is no way to rotate them. They may need to fight for two days and two nights."

After Yang Fei finished explaining his requirements, Vera Nair breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that these were all part of her job and there were no other requirements. That made things simple. The Wood Elf was not afraid of hardship, and these tasks would be easy for her.

Soon, led by Norahil, all the elves slowly emerged from the forest. Veranel began assigning tasks to all the elves, starting with a construction foreman at the Martial Realm, which was rather difficult to find.

Because these elves are not particularly skilled at construction, and are mainly responsible for manufacturing and research, there are not many elven builders. Most elves are craftsmen and scientists.

Furthermore, one also needs to have a high level of understanding and leadership skills, and not be seriously injured or ill, so as to be able to perform high-intensity work, which makes it even more difficult.

Fortunately, perhaps the slave traders who sold these elves thought that skilled people might be worth some money. Most of these elves possessed multiple skills, and one elf female construction worker named Kailanriel, who barely reached the level of a Qi Sensing Realm martial artist, met the requirements of a construction foreman.

This relieved all the elves. Fulfilling the great lord's request was their most important task at this stage. If they failed to meet even this small request, it would definitely leave a bad impression on the great lord.

Yang Fei breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but not because there was a construction foreman among these elves, but because the port could be built ahead of schedule.

After all, his sky island was developing too fast. He was a little afraid that once he became a formal lord, his sky island would already have something like a teleportation array, and the port would become less important. He was a lord who hoped for the comprehensive development of his sky island and did not want to rise to the top in one step.

However, the elves' concern that Yang Fei would be disappointed in them because they didn't have a construction foreman wasn't unfounded. Yang Fei was a fairly open-minded person; as long as the elves were useful to him, he wouldn't be disappointed in them, and the lack of a construction foreman wouldn't cause him any displeasure.

Give the port blueprints to Kalanriel and have him take ten lesser demons, consume 500 units of wood, 100 units of stone, 100 units of iron ingots, and 100 units of gray energy crystals, and head to the northern part of the sky island to temporarily build the port. You can adjust the specific location of the port at any time using your lord privileges. Since it will take three days anyway, there is no need to plan ahead.

As for the eight elven farmers who are equivalent to martial artists, they are relatively easy to find. Most elves have talents such as forest affinity and nature affinity, so planting plants is very simple for them.

However, the eight elf girls chosen by Yang Fei were somewhat unhappy, but they dared not show it. Yang Fei knew what they were thinking, so he directly gave them all his True Qi Rice Seeds and told them that these were important resources to help cultivators cultivate.

In this world, regardless of race, anyone who wants to cultivate and become stronger cannot do without these resources. This is an important means of becoming stronger besides killing enemies. As long as they can cultivate well and reach the most basic income target, Yang Fei guarantees that one-tenth of their harvest can be given to their race for free distribution.

Upon hearing this, the eight elf girls understood the situation. Their mood instantly improved after they were unable to participate in the battle. They hurriedly bowed deeply to Yang Fei. Yang Fei waved his hand, told them to take the seeds and head to the spirit field, and instructed them to report any problems to him at any time. This spirit field was an important asset for him to develop his aerial island combat power, and he couldn't afford to let anything happen to it.

After dealing with these developmental matters, Yang Fei selected several elves with obvious external injuries and those who were clearly putting on a brave face and sent them back to rest. After Veranel's inspection, he left behind dozens of elves with minor injuries but unable to adapt to high-intensity battles to guard the base.

Yang Fei's elf team was reduced to only 120 people. Yang Fei planned to divide it into three teams, with Veranel as the leader, Norahill as the deputy leader, and another second-tier elf, Erinsia, as the deputy leader. The three of them would each lead a team of 30 elves.

In fact, Yang Fei wanted them to choose another deputy leader themselves. After all, Vera Nair and Norahil were both nominated by themselves, and they should be familiar with their own situation. Letting them choose should allow them to select a suitable leader.

However, in order to prevent potential problems, Yang Fei had to ensure that no one in their race could have absolute power. Therefore, he had to forcibly appoint a new leader to participate in their race's internal decision-making, which also left a slight gap between them and their higher-ups.

Whether she would help him or become his mouthpiece within their race, or whether she would ultimately be on their side, Yang Fei didn't care. All Yang Fei needed to do was make his stance clear and let them remember this issue. The rift had already formed; complete unity was probably impossible.

These three teams will begin to implement their own three-shift system. The last 30 elves will form a reserve team, which can provide support at any time during wartime to enhance battlefield firepower. In peacetime, they can also serve their fellow tribesmen who are fighting. They can be considered the elf tribe's own internal support team.

The inferior demons are essentially the support team of his own direct demon army. It's somewhat inappropriate for them to participate in the support of the elven and human races. Yang Fei also doesn't have the magnanimity to let these loyal subordinates serve others. Therefore, having their own support team for each race is Yang Fei's guiding principle for the future.

Yang Fei also chose a leader for this elf support force, a first-tier elf named Elaria who possesses expertise in both cooking and medicine. Her dual logistical talents gave Yang Fei high expectations for her.

After assigning the members to all the teams, Yang Fei had Alaria lead her squad to the supply depot, where they took out white rice and Qi rice in a 10:1 ratio and headed to the southern part of the sky island to start cooking.

Then Yang Fei personally led three elven combat units back to his cabin, and after taking Lola with him, he headed to the city wall to prepare for today's daily challenge.

On the way, to facilitate the arrangements, Yang Fei standardized the names of the four elven units. The first unit, "Elven Combat Team 1," led by the current leader of the Fallen Tree Elf, consisted of 30 elves and was the first to participate in the battle. It had the most elves who had reached the Martial Realm and the strongest overall strength, making it an elite force without a doubt.

The "Elf Combat Team 2," comprised of 30 elves and led by Norasil, one of the four Tier 2 elves and deputy leader, is the second wave to participate in the battle; similarly, the "Elf Combat Team 3," led by Erinshia, another of the four Tier 2 elves and deputy leader...

The team consists of 30 Pokémon and is the third group to participate in the battle.

These two teams are roughly equal in overall strength, and judging solely from their cultivation levels, their combat power is comparable, making them fairly evenly matched.

Finally, there is Elaria, who leads the "Elf Support Team" of 30 elves. She is a Tier 1 elf with expertise in cooking and medicine. She was personally appointed by Yang Fei. The team is mainly composed of logistics-type elves, so their combat strength is relatively weak, but their overall skills are quite average.

They are a well-rounded team, capable of serving as a support force for the elves and also able to participate in battles at any time, enhancing the defense capabilities of the Sky Island. They are an elf force that Yang Fei has high hopes for.

After finishing his work with the elves, Yang Fei had his hastily assembled "Inferior Demon Support Team" and "Qianwu Support Team" start cooking as well. The upcoming battle would last for two days, and meals had to be kept within a limited timeframe.

Then, Yang Fei took out 29 gray arrow tower construction cards and 1 gray ice arrow tower construction card, and built all of these defensive towers directly.

All his war slabs can only power gray arrow towers for now, so he must build some gray arrow towers for these skilled archers to use. He will gradually adjust them later when he upgrades to higher quality sky islands.

Like Yang Fei, the leaders of the elves need to occupy gray-quality ice arrow towers to control the overall situation and command their subordinates in battle. The combat elves, on the other hand, can use arrow towers that are more efficient at killing enemies. Killing enemies with all their might is what they should do.

With the addition of 30 new defensive towers occupying the stone slabs, the number of war stone slabs was once again insufficient. Yang Fei didn't care about the money and generously spent 550 silver coins to buy 50 white basic stone slabs, filling them in and quickly making up for the shortage of war stone slabs.

Because of the previous test, Yang Fei had a better understanding of his ability to deploy defensive towers. He still had a lot of spare capacity available within those ten minutes, so this time Yang Fei purchased more stone slabs and added another 20 white arrow towers to increase the number of arrow towers.

The specific defensive arrangements were also quite simple. The elven troops replaced the succubus girl's previous task of killing ice slimes and stood near the first line of defense. Their unlimited firepower was the main force in this war, and the handover was also very simple.

If they can suppress all the monsters to the vicinity of the blue gate with a very small number of people, just like the succubi, then they can simply switch personnel normally. If they can't do that, then they can use distant artillery fire to cover the blue gate and then quickly switch personnel.

Sephira stood among them as well. She needed to collect enough souls, so Yang Fei didn't have high expectations of her. He told her to attack with all her might until she finished collecting them, and once she did, she could do as she pleased. If she wanted to continue killing enemies and gaining experience, that was fine too; Yang Fei didn't care.

All I need is for her to keep an eye on those elves, to prevent them from letting the Ice Slime get close to the defense tower and damage it. It's like the ultimate insurance.
