121: Chapter 121 Supporting Su Wan!

"Everyone who can move, retreat to the Barracks inside the city to rest! Gather the severely wounded, let Commander Lin Yu's priests heal them with all their might, and use the best medicine!"

"Collect and bury the bodies of all fallen soldiers, and throw all the bodies of the corrupted Demonic Beast outside the city walls to be cremated."

Lin Tian issued the orders with a hoarse voice, his tone filled with intense exhaustion.

"For the city walls... leave five thousand brothers who still have some energy left, and keep your eyes peeled while patrolling! Don't let a single fly in!"

He did not rest either, dragging his body that was also falling apart, and used the remaining stone in the territory to repair the section of the city wall that the Fear Demon Ape had breached.

After patching the wall, he reloaded those forty City Defense Giant Crossbows on the ramparts, which had nearly exhausted their energy in the brutal battle just now, until they were fully "fed."

After finishing all this, Lin Tian felt that his last ounce of strength had been drained away.

He randomly found a relatively clean section of the parapet, sat down, leaned his back against the cold wall bricks, and closed his eyes, losing even the desire to twitch a finger.

Just as his consciousness was about to be dragged into darkness by exhaustion.

"Beep, beep, beep!"

The piercing friend message notification stabbed into his groggy mind like an awl.

Lin Tian jolted, opening his eyes wide, the string in his heart instantly tightening. Receiving a message at this time... With trembling hands, he clicked on Lord Su Wan's flashing avatar.

The scene on Lord Su Wan's side was even more tragic and desperate than on Lin Tian's side.

Relying on the various natural traps, thorn fences, and moonlight arrow towers laid out in advance in the territory, they had actually managed to withstand the first two waves of the beast tide.

But when the third wave of monsters tore through the night and appeared, the last glimmer of light in her emerald eyes went out.

Dozens of silver 9-star monsters!

Among them were the two Bloodthirsty Demon Wolves she feared the most!

They stood at the forefront of the monster tide like kings, their scarlet eyes locked tightly onto the direction of the Elf Treehouse.

Behind them were nearly a thousand black iron and Bronze grade monsters, like hungry locusts, emitting noisy, bloodthirsty roars.

It's over.

These two words were all that remained in Lord Su Wan's mind.

Aelia, the strongest under her command, was still severely injured, and although the remaining forest elves were maneuvering with the help of the terrain and defensive buildings, they had already suffered more than half casualties, with everyone wounded. What was there to block them with?

The instinct to survive, or perhaps the last glimmer of faint hope for that promise, made her use her blood-stained fingers to send a message to Lin Tian with a trembling hand.

Lord Su Wan: "Lin Tian, how is it on your side? On my side... the strength and number of monsters that appeared completely exceeded my expectations. Dozens of silver 9-star, nearly a thousand low-level ones... If you can spare a hand... please, support me. The teleportation application, I have kept it open..."

The message was sent, but it was like a stone sinking into the ocean.

Every second of waiting felt as long as a century.

She could hear the piercing sound of the outer thorn fences being frantically rammed and torn by monsters, could hear the mournful cries of the moonlight arrow towers as their energy ran out, and could hear the desperate exclamations and pained groans of the elves.

Hope, like a flickering candle in the wind, was becoming weaker and weaker.

Just when she was about to give up and was preparing to order the elves to retreat to the treehouse for a final stand.

[Ding! Your ally 'Lin Tian' requests to teleport to your territory. Do you accept?]

The System notification sound was like music to her ears!

"Accept! Accept immediately!" Lord Su Wan shouted with almost all her strength, tears uncontrollably welling up. She stared fixedly at the designated teleportation point in the center of the territory.

After reading Lord Su Wan's fragmented, desperate plea for help, and then looking at the "lineup" she described—dozens of silver 9-star monsters, plus less than a thousand black iron and Bronze mobs.

He was silent for two seconds, then almost couldn't help but laugh, though that smile was uglier than crying.

"There is no harm without comparison..." He muttered to himself, the heaviness in his heart born from the pyrrhic victory inexplicably diluted by a sense of absurdity.

Think about what kind of lineup he had just faced? A golden 9-star leading the team, nearly a hundred gold, thousands of silver, a terrifying wave of over a hundred thousand!

Lord Su Wan's side... it was simply like playing house.

However, thinking was one thing, but his actions were not slow at all.

He looked up at the sky; the night was deep, and a bright moon had broken through the clouds at some point, casting its clear radiance over the earth.

Moonlight was the best tonic and healing medicine for Lin Yin and the Pale Moon Hunters.

In just this short while, although Lin Yin's face was still pale, her aura had stabilized significantly, and those clear eyes once again had a sharp look.

Many Pale Moon Hunters around were also recovering some of their stamina and injuries under the nourishment of the moonlight.

"Pale Moon Hunters who can move, follow me. Lin Yin, how are you?" Lin Tian looked at her.

Lin Yin did not speak, but silently drew the moonlight longbow in her hand, using her actions to indicate that she was ready to fight at any time.

Although her state was far from recovered to her Peak, it was more than enough to deal with silver-grade enemies.

"Good, teleport!"

Lin Tian did not hesitate any longer and directly initiated a teleportation request to Lord Su Wan. It was approved almost instantly.

A deep blue teleportation light lit up on the city walls of Lin Tian's city, enveloping Lin Tian, Lin Yin, and nearly five hundred Pale Moon Hunters who had quickly assembled.

With a flash of light, everyone disappeared from the spot.

Lord Su Wan gripped her natural staff tightly, staring unblinkingly at the direction of the teleportation array.

When that familiar deep blue light shot into the sky, and several figures quickly materialized from virtual to real within the light, her heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally "thumped" and dropped back down.

The light dissipated.

Lin Tian's familiar figure stepped out first; although his armor was stained with blood and damaged, and his face carried an intense, unshakeable fatigue, his eyes remained bright and sharp.

Following closely behind was that Holy Envoy of the Profound Moon, Lin Yin, who had left a deep impression on her and was as cold and clear as the moon.

And behind them were nearly five hundred Pale Moon Hunters with exquisite armor, mysterious patterns, holding longbows, and surrounded by faint moonlight and natural aura!

That condensed and powerful aura, unique to epic units, instantly dispelled the despair permeating the territory.

Lord Su Wan felt a soreness in her nose; the relief of surviving a disaster and the shock of seeing powerful reinforcements intertwined, leaving her unable to speak for a moment.

She could only cast a look at Lin Tian that was mixed with endless gratitude, reliance, and finally, relaxation.

Lin Tian had no time for small talk and his gaze quickly swept across the battlefield.

The natural defensive fortifications on the outskirts of the Moonlight Grove had been largely destroyed, and the remaining elves, under the command of Aelia, were putting up a nearly futile resistance, relying on a few core treehouses and the last Moonlight Well.

And those monsters were frantically charging at the final line of defense, with those dozens of silver 9-star monsters being particularly arrogant, almost about to break through.

"Tsk, it really is... a plain and simple lineup."

Lin Tian curled his lips and raised his chin toward Lin Yin beside him. "It's up to you. Make it quick; we still have to go back and clean up our own mess."
