Chapter 629: Chapter 562 Pressure Chapter 629: Chapter 562 Pressure Pfft~
The Alien’s long tail instantly pierced through one of the strong beastmen.
Despite being impaled, the robust and hulking beastman maintained its powerful vitality for a short while.
While roaring in fury, it swung its weapon hard at the tail of the Alien, leaving a deep gash.
However, the wound did not bleed a drop; instead, the shadow beside it flowed like ink, filling the gap.
Measuring seven or eight meters long, the leopard-like Alien flicked its tail, flinging the penetrated beastman out like a cannonball, knocking down several behind it.
Seizing the moment, another strong beastman leaped up and buried its ax into the Alien’s head halfway, dangling from it.
The fierce face of the beastman, staring deathly at the Alien’s grim head, let out a deafening roar.
But in the next instant, the secondary mouth within the Alien’s jaws shot out, penetrating the beastman’s head.
Splat~
A handful of red and white unknown fluid burst out, and the corpse limply released the ax handle, crashing to the ground.
Afterward, the shadow Alien, seemingly unimpacted, carried the ax in its head and leaped forward like a tiger pouncing on its prey, using both mouth and claws.
The menacing jaws, sharp claws, and deadly tail sting continuously launched vicious attacks on the beastmen.
Blood plasma splattered!

The seven or eight-meter-long shadow Alien, incapable of dying and able to regenerate from shadows, had truly transformed into a war machine.
Its entire body was a weapon!
Even the beastmen, who had received some special enhancement, seemed somewhat overpowered when facing the shadow Alien.
It usually took a small squad to handle one.
Several strong beastmen pounced on the Alien’s body, hacking away.
Even after being impaled, they forcibly grabbed the tail and limbs to restrict it, managing to exert some pressure.
The key problem was that once a shadow Alien was injured, it didn’t bleed!
As the beastmen’s strength waned, many of those restraining the Alien were flung away.
Beastmen soared through the air from time to time.
Those who faced the shadow Alien without fear, daring to confront it with brute force, now truly felt a sense of despair.
Given time, even just a few hundred shadow Aliens could scatter them.
But now, there weren’t only these unreasonable shadow Aliens.
After Tao Yu brought forth Boromir, the man with Gondor’s war horn, gaining Theodred’s trust,
He had also managed to buff the Rohan cavalry!
Although the trust wasn’t high enough for a greater enhancement, the elite cavalry still felt a surge of power coursing through their bodies.
“What is this…”
“I feel strength throughout my body!”
“Kill them!”
“…”
The battle roars were deafening, and the cavalry’s hoofbeats made the earth tremble.
The swarming Rohan cavalry charged toward the stalled beastmen.
The greatest advantage of the cavalry wasn’t a direct charge.
It was mobility and surprise attacks.
Pursuing fleeing soldiers was where the cavalry inflicted the most damage.
Unable to fight, unable to flee!
At that moment, the front wave, consisting of several hundred fearless shadow Aliens, Tao Yu, directly halted the strengthened beastmen, sticking to the scene and disrupting the formation.
Now, in this chaotic melee, after Tao Yu had reassured them not to worry about accidentally killing the Aliens they could unleash their full potential, it was indeed a scene the cavalry most desired.
Thrust~
The long spears easily penetrated the beastmen’s bodies.
The skewered beastmen, still trying to madly pull the riders off their horses,
Clutched onto the long spears.
But the next second, the knights, now boosted with strength, simply lifted the spears and flung them away!
An elite of the Rohan cavalry, once buffed, could even match the strength of these beastmen one on one!
While the formation was disrupted by the shadow Aliens, their own ranks remained intact.
The Rohan Knights, like scissors cutting through cloth, made a clean sweep with every pass.
𝕟𝗈𝘃𝘨𝕠.co
With the newly buffed cavalry, like unstoppable tanks, they brutally broke through the crossing beastmen!
Then the well-trained Knights swiftly turned around for another charge.
In the distance, three Pioneers using drones to observe the battlefield widened their eyes at the unexpected scene.
“What is this?
Are the world’s cavalry this strong?”
“Although the people of this world are indeed robust, this seems exaggerated; we’ve felt the strength of individual beastmen…”
“That’s an Alien, right?
Where did these few hundred Aliens come from?
They are clearly Rainforest 02 variants!”
“Eight-Armed Vajra is known for breeding Aliens; this must be his masterpiece, but how did these suddenly emerge?
Can his Duel Space also accommodate pets?
That’s so cheating!”
“So that’s how he became a World Breaker so quickly, no wonder he could defeat Feng Te, defeat Shi Di!
Just thinking about hundreds of mutated Aliens gives me shivers.”
“No wonder World Breaker lost; it’s too much of a cheat.”
However, the battlefield wouldn’t change because of their astonishment.
Obviously, they weren’t about to intervene at this moment; they could only signal the war horns to retreat.
Meanwhile, after a few rounds of charges from the Rohan Knights, they completely routed what seemed like the invincible beastman alliance.
The fearless beastmen, at the sound of the war horns at the rear, began to retreat in disarray, and the Dunlendings appeared just as disheveled.
Aside from leaving a field of corpses, the losses on Rohan’s side were minimal!
Tao Yu also halted to check the corpses of the beastmen, finding them no different from the Orcs, with little to plunder.
If they were abundant, they could barely be used as fodder for the Yuan Force.
Saruman, if willing to surrender, could perhaps be put in charge of breeding livestock.
“Thank you, your spells are very unique, I’ve never fought such a smooth battle.”
Theodred watched as the shadowy Aliens gradually melted away and reabsorbed into the shadows, then he approached Tao Yu to express his gratitude.
He, too, harbored hostility towards the darkness.
But as a fine commander, he could distinguish friend from foe, and he also recognized the warfare potential of Tao Yu’s tactics!
First, a group of physically large troops, strong as if every part of their bodies were weapons, would charge out fearlessly to the front.
Then the cavalry would be given various bonuses.
That could sweep across the whole of Middle-earth!
“Don’t mention it, how about it, join me, and I’ll lead you into Mordor.”
Tao Yu felt the progress of his digestion and promptly invited Theodred.
The more the team trusted him, the greater the power of his buffs and the better the digestion effect.
And this unit of elite Rohan Knights certainly qualified.
Hearing Tao Yu’s words, Theodred was genuinely tempted!
Although the pressure from Mordor weighed heaviest upon Gondor.
But as a prince and a military commander, he couldn’t resist the temptation to flatten Mordor.
Had he heard such an offer before, he would have scoffed, for the power of darkness was indeed formidable.
Mount Doom’s eruption had engulfed the Land of Darkness in shadows, and Orcs who feared the sunlight swarmed the entirety of Mordor.
However, after the prior experience of cutting through them like slicing vegetables, he realized that Tao Yu’s words might not be mere bluster!
Resisting the temptation, Theodred could only sigh with a sense of helplessness,
“If the opportunity arises, I really would like to, but as you’ve seen, those things are popping up from nowhere; I must keep the West Gate of Rohan secure.”
Hearing this response, Tao Yu didn’t press the matter, understanding that indeed it wouldn’t be appropriate for border troops to follow him.
“However, I can write a letter; perhaps you could take my cousin Eomer with you.
He also commands an elite force.”
Theodred offered his suggestion to Tao Yu, mentioning his cousin who had been adopted by his father and possessed considerable ability.
It seemed feasible for him to go in Theodred’s stead while he guarded this side.
“Of course I’d be happy to, thank you for the trouble.”
Tao Yu truly needed some temporary fighters at the moment, and even though he did not know what Saruman intended to do, he had indeed done Tao Yu a great favor.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy to borrow an army.
On the other side, Saruman’s eyelids twitched as he felt his heart bleed.
There was even an urge to tear off his disguise and, alongside his secret allies, raze this place to the ground.
However, with Gandalf present, and Celeborn not necessarily on his side, the timing wasn’t opportune.
So, he could only bear it forcibly, coming over with a tone of dissatisfaction,
“What on earth was that before?
Filled with a vile and ominous aura.”
“Like my mounts, those monsters are rampant in Rainforest to the west; I just happened to make use of them.”
Tao Yu said ambiguously.
Direct shadow crafting was indeed terrifying, but utilizing corpses was much more readily accepted.
After all, there had been only a few hundred before.
Only Ai and Allaberth’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
They remembered the method Tao Yu used when he first arrived at the village.
But they also dared not speak out!
“Reveling in evil powers will eventually affect one’s mind.”
“Resisting corruption is our specialty, even The One Ring couldn’t handle me.”
Tao Yu listened to Saruman’s ‘heartfelt’ warning and found it slightly amusing.
However, Tao Yu also glanced at the still-frozen flood waters.
More freezing…
It must have been the leader of the League of Interceptors.
It seemed he had already colluded with Saruman, and even with those covert forces of the Pioneers.
“Indeed, not weak…”
Tao Yu quietly felt alarmed.
It was only because they all harbored their own schemes that they had not yet united; otherwise, had they joined forces, that power would indeed be enough for the New Development Zone to handle!
Sun Guangyao had formidable personal strength but had limitations in being everywhere at once.
No wonder the New Development Zone had always been so cautious, usually opting to cooperate first for thorough probing.
From the looks of it, the Old Development Area might have suffered considerable losses.
For the Pioneers, acquiring benefits was the primary goal, not seeking absolute control.
Theoretically, as long as Sun Guangyao was present, the New Development Zone could engage in ‘equitable discussions’ with the various relatively stronger nearby forces.
Unfortunately, burdened with a base, they were a step slower than the lightly-equipped, covert forces…
“As a Flame Demon who had just awakened, dealing with it was somewhat challenging for me.”
Although Tao Yu had simultaneously faced both the Flame Demon and the Dreadlord, it also led to a loss of control over his powers; what he did earlier was somewhat risky.
And the Flame Demon’s potential was only about the same as the present grey-clad Gandalf, as they were destined to die together.
Saruman was clearly stronger at the moment, and perhaps the actual outcome could only be determined by a fight.
Add Sauron and that ice-wielding leader of the League of Interceptors from the shadows, and it really was something…
“Well, let’s go visit the King of Rohan first.”
“We shouldn’t opt for the cover of a large army, but rather a select squad; it seems there’s some trouble at Arrodes, and I may need to go back and check…”
Saruman didn’t want any unexpected developments.
The image of Tao Yu coordinating with the Rohan Knights to crush his creations with minimal loss had truly given him a form of PTSD.
If he were to receive Rohan’s reinforcements and meet up with Gondor, wouldn’t that mean launching a counterattack against Mordor…
