A young mage apprentice spoke with a touch of admiration, "The first wave of the demon invasion was also the most difficult; Fang Zhou, with his summoned Skeleton Legion, managed to withstand it by sheer force. It seems we can catch our breath now. For Fang Zhou, the rest shouldn't be difficult at all."

The apprentice next to him agreed, "Yes, if Fang Zhou can quickly repair the fortifications around the Shelter before the next attack, the upcoming battles shouldn't be a problem. After all, we all know how powerful the Shelter's defenses are."

At that moment, Lu Yiyi turned her head and said to Lu Renjia, "Remember how arduous it was when we first tried to clear the 'Shelter Defense Battle' on normal difficulty? Especially facing the Sheep-headed Monster Battle Group led by the Black Armored Abyss Knight—it was a complete nightmare. We struggled for days just to find a way to cope. I can't believe Fang Zhou is about to clear it without facing any real threat."

Lu Renjia shook his head slightly at her words, an expectant look on his face. "Fang Zhou's combat power is just off the charts. I don't think his goal is simply to clear the battle. He'll definitely aim to annihilate every last Sheep-headed Monster to achieve a perfect clear rating."

Hearing this, Lu Yiyi's face filled with disbelief. "How is that possible? The Sheep-headed Monster Cavalry wouldn't be foolishly charging our defensive line if the system wasn't forcing them to attack the Shelter. Once their casualties surpass a certain limit, they'll naturally retreat. They would never just stand there waiting to be slaughtered. Besides, even if they decide to flee the battlefield, how could Fang Zhou possibly catch up to them?"

Lu Renjia didn't know what tactics Fang Zhou would employ either. He simply gazed at the calm-faced Fang Zhou on the broadcast, an inexplicable feeling rising in his heart. "Just be patient and watch," he said. "Fang Zhou will definitely not disappoint us."

「Within the Simulation Battlefield.」

Fang Zhou was commanding his Skeleton Army to execute a bold and completely unexpected strategic decision, catching all spectators off guard. As the sound of hooves in the forest outside the Shelter grew more thunderous, he knew the Sheep-headed Monster Battle Group's reinforcements were approaching. Faced with this development, Fang Zhou didn't choose to hold his ground. Instead, he directly ordered the Skeleton Army to topple the already battered wooden walls.

With a thunderous crash, dozens of skeleton soldiers were exposed before the Sheep-headed Monster Battle Group, becoming living targets. The collapse of the wooden wall not only complicated the situation on the battlefield but also put the Skeleton Army in an extremely precarious position.

However, this was all part of Fang Zhou's meticulous plan.

Deep in the forest, the Black Armored Abyss Knight was perplexed by Fang Zhou's decision but refused to let such an advantageous opportunity for attack slip by. Thus, under the cover of the Dark Concealment Magic cast by the Terror Wing Demon, nearly a hundred Sheep-headed Monsters, commanded by the Black Armored Abyss Knight on his new mount, charged toward the Skeleton Army like a raging storm. Their eyes burned with ferocious flames, and deafening roars escaped their mouths, filling the air with a palpable killing intent.

The Black Armored Abyss Knight led the charge, plunging into the battle array. At the same time, Fang Zhou seized the opportunity to cast "Crowned with Death," "Iron Wall Aura," and "Brutal Aura" on Olaf, greatly enhancing the Skeleton Warrior's combat power.

Olaf, wielding his double axes, resolutely met the Black Armored Abyss Knight's charge. When the dark longsword and the bone-crafted double axes clashed, the sound was as soul-shaking as thunder, with each collision producing a deafening boom. Abyssal Energy and Death Energy intertwined and struggled between them, forming a unique energy storm that threatened to devour everything around it.

The Black Armored Abyss Knight steadily blocked the first axe, and then the second, showing no sign of retreat. However, the Skeleton Giant Axe that Olaf wielded was astonishingly heavy. By the third blow, the Black Armored Abyss Knight's wrist began to tremble slightly, as if every block drained an immense amount of his stamina. The fourth axe finally forced the Black Armored Abyss Knight to take a step back. His expression grew grave, as if he were under an unprecedented amount of pressure.

Just as the battle reached its peak, a malevolent gust of wind suddenly descended from the sky. Fang Zhou looked up to see the Terror Wing Demon unfurling its massive bat-like wings. It was swooping down on him like an arrow loosed from a bow, its narrow eyes glinting with a bloodthirsty red light.

TWANG!

The sound of a vibrating bowstring came from beside him.

The Terror Wing Demon let out a strange cry. As if prepared, its body jolted violently, and its wings flipped with incredible speed. Its entire body traced a series of dazzling arcs through the air.

However, before it could even catch its breath after completing this series of astonishing maneuvers, an even more resonant twang split the sky. This time, the Terror Wing Demon had no time to dodge and could only manage to raise its left claw to block. An arrow, carrying unstoppable momentum, pierced fiercely into the Terror Wing Demon's claw.

With a muffled thud, black-red blood—a mixture of fear and agony—spurted out, forming a ghastly blood mist in the air.
