Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System

There was little vigilance against the actions of the Crowned Eagle-horned Beast Knights, as they dared not enter the city; what was there to fear?

And this tactic of paralyzing the enemy had been ongoing for over half a month.

Lear was leading such a massive army on an expedition for the first time.

In the past, the enemy would attack and he would defend; now the situation had reversed.

The march through the Long Thorn Mountain Range was not slow.

The route map had already been planned.

Moreover, Level 15 units, even after a week of continuous travel without eating, drinking, or resting, were unaffected.

Their immense life energy was sufficient to support them in high-intensity activities.

At dawn on December 3rd, after a day and night of marching, the army finally stepped out of the Long Thorn Mountain Range.

After a brief two-hour rest, the army’s status was fully restored, and they continued advancing.

On the night of December 3rd, the first target of the Wild Pantheon—Bear Claw Fortress was already in sight.

Named after a fortress, this city truly lived up to its name.

It was built against a mountain, with city walls constructed of huge rocks, rugged and solid.

On top of the walls stood countless Bearman Warriors over three meters tall, their muscles knotted, armed with giant axes and warhammers, guarding the fortress.

The rich atmosphere of barbarism was overwhelming.

On arrow towers built not too long ago along the walls, stood centaurs holding giant bows.

The guard was indeed tight.

However, at this moment, these guards were being harassed by the Crowned Eagle Horned Beast Knights, with no time to attend to anything else.

The paralyzing tactics of the past days had already worked; troops on the walls were used to the harassment of the Crowned Eagle Horned Beast Knights and hadn’t noticed the vast enemy approaching from afar.

Upon seeing this, Lear immediately ordered the Vine Fairy beside him to move.

Under the secret protection of the Bubble Beast, it quietly approached the city wall from the underground soil.

The Bubble Beast’s bubbles can secretly excavate the soil, opening up a passage.

Unfortunately, large-scale excavation takes a long time and is easily discovered by the enemy; otherwise, they could use tunnels to invade the enemy city.

Upon reaching the base of the wall, the Vine Fairy started fostering vines underground.

The vines didn’t emerge but grew horizontally underground, layers upon layers squeezing together.

Two hours later, the vines below finally accumulated to a sufficient level.

In the bewildered gaze of the wall guards, whoosh~ the vines suddenly broke through the soil.

Like octopus tentacles, they directly climbed onto the wall, smashing deep into the wall structure, creating an unobstructed ladder to the wall.

Even a farmer could directly walk up to the wall!

Witnessing this scene, the troops above turned pale.

"Enemy attack!!"

The piercing alarm echoed throughout Bear Claw Fortress, causing chaos inside the city, more Bearman Warriors surged from the dark barracks in the rear toward the walls.

But Lear couldn’t possibly give them time to fortify.

"Crowned Eagle Horned Beast Knight Order, clear the skies!"

"Chirp—!"

Tens of thousands of Eagle Horned Beasts let out a high-pitched screech, descending like arrows from the sky.

Behind Bear Claw Fortress, thousands of Eagle Knights also hurriedly took flight, attempting to intercept.

The two sides immediately collided in the sky.

But in terms of both quantity and quality, the Eagle Knights of the Wild Pantheon were at an absolute disadvantage.

The weapons, armor of the Crowned Eagle Horned Beast Knights were top-tier elite.

Despite having the same level, the equipment of the opposing Eagle Knights was completely overwhelmed.

Separated by four or five hundred meters, the Crowned Eagle Horned Beast Knights drew their longbows, shooting sharp arrows.

The Eagle Knights were astounded and wanted to retaliate, but their shooting range was only about three hundred meters, they couldn’t reach.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

The dense arrows drew remnants in the air, piercing through the bodies of the Eagle Knights instantly.

Blood spilled fiercely, the pungent scent of blood filled the air.

In a mere face-to-face clash, a thousand Eagle Knights were wiped out.

Bodies fell like raindrops.

After the second wave of arrows from the Crowned Eagle Horned Beast Knights, the counterattack from the Eagle Knights finally arrived.

But in despair, these warriors realized—their arrows that could easily kill heavy beasts were ineffective against the Crowned Eagle Horned Beast Knights.

Instantly deflected by armor, or only leaving a tiny crack.

Not lethal at all.

To the point where the enemy was insanely thorough, covering the Eagle Horned Beasts beneath with large armor plates, leaving no critical spot exposed.

These damned scoundrels, how could they be this wealthy?

Every Eagle Knight was gnashing their teeth in anger.

If only they had such equipment, they wouldn’t need to worry about not defeating the enemy.

Air supremacy on the battlefield was firmly controlled by the swamp once the war began.

"Cold-blooded Cavalry, charge!"

The Wetland Lizard-man Hero commanded the Cold-blooded Cavalry with a thunderous roar.

"Roar!!!"

With each deep, fierce roar, the ground suddenly trembled.

The guards on the wall only felt a slight tingling in the soles of their feet.

Looking up, their view reflected the terrifying steel torrent on the horizon.

Their hearts trembled, feeling chilly hands and feet.
