Chu Yunfei saw that Lin Ran and Luo Qingyan had already started chatting, and knew that they still had plenty of energy left. Knowing that only these two were present for this beast tide, victory was all but certain, he walked up to them with a smile:
"Is this the strength of the top scholar and the second scholar? It truly makes Chu ashamed…"
"As a mere second-tier Awakened, my abilities feel inadequate in front of you!"
Lin Ran smiled:
"Commander Chu is too kind…"
"As the commander of this unit, your command and leadership abilities are absolutely superior to ours."
"Without your timely response, we wouldn't have had such good opportunities to perform."
Chu Yunfei laughed heartily:
"Brother Lin Ran, at such a young age, you possess such strength and yet remain so humble and modest, truly rare!"
"It is absolutely foreseeable that you two will soar to great heights in the future, becoming the two pillars of Dragon Country."
"Rest assured, your defense of the city this time, along with the important intelligence brought back by Brother Lin Ran, will be duly credited by our military."
"Without the two of you, this armed fortress would likely have suffered significant casualties today…"
But just as Chu Yunfei was speaking, an inconspicuous black arrow suddenly shot from afar, heading directly for Chu Yunfei's head.
Chu Yunfei was greatly alarmed, and just as he was about to dodge, in a flash, the arrow was inexplicably caught by Lin Ran.

"Commander Chu, I said that because I don't want to see unnecessary casualties."
"Are the lives of soldiers and Dragon Country citizens less important than face?"
"Qing Yan and I have strong endurance and high defense, and are best suited for protracted battles."
"Moreover, I simply want you to retreat into the fortress buildings and engage in urban warfare, rather than defending the city walls…"
"Leave the rest to us."
Saying this, Lin Ran no longer argued with Chu Yunfei. Instead, he stood on the city wall, his Sharingan eyes flashing brightly.
He intended to conquer Chu Yunfei with his actions!
Susanoo!
Under Lin Ran's control, a cyan energy arm and skeleton immediately materialized. With its massive body, it instantly formed a solid shield.
Luo Qingyan, meanwhile, let out a low cry and flew upwards, her hands gripping the fiery tail of her energy sword. From below, a swift upward slash pierced through a dark elf.
"Holy Light Cross Slash!"
Luo Qingyan's sword did not stop. She unleashed another cross slash, directly severing the horns of several dark elves riding gryphons.
The dark elves that fell to the ground were immediately crushed into mincemeat by the ferocious beasts.
Gate of Babylon!
Lin Ran was also at full power now, standing on the city wall, using the Gate of Babylon to sweep the aerial dark elves, while using Susanoo's robust arm to wield his energy sword against the ferocious beasts assaulting the city wall below.
Truly a display of formidable power, attacking with both hands.
Looking at Lin Ran, who stood on the city wall like a war god, and then at Luo Qingyan, who soared through the sky, engaging in close combat with the dark elves and ceaselessly slaying enemies.
Chu Yunfei finally realized that their strength far surpassed his imagination.
At this moment, Chu Yunfei gritted his teeth and commanded:
"All soldiers and remaining Awakened, withdraw from the city wall and enter the armed fortress to preserve our strength, awaiting reinforcements from the military region."
"Leave the main battlefield to Lin Ran and Luo Qingyan! Do not cause unnecessary casualties!"
Upon receiving Chu Yunfei's order, and witnessing Lin Ran and Luo Qingyan acting like deities.
The Awakened and soldiers also realized that this was not a place suitable for them. They quickly began dragging the wounded and retreated towards the buildings within the armed fortress.
