Werewolf Orff, the human Donna, and the elf Aranda were the candidates Yan Xing selected to be equipped with super weapons. These three would form the initial core of the Super Tactical Squad.
Olaf, physically strong and skilled in roaring battle techniques, was suited for assault and field control, serving as the pivot to coordinate the squad’s offensive and defensive rhythm. Donna, a naturally gifted warrior, would be the squad’s spearhead, undertaking crucial assault and combat missions. Aranda, trained as a sniper, would be responsible for neutralizing key enemy personnel and critical targets from concealed positions. Once this frawork for the Super Tactical Squad was established, other suitable personnel could be added.
The thod for rapidly enhancing their strength relied on the research and developnt outcos of Heize City’s Nine-Headed Dragon project. The Jackalman Shaman who had defected from Heize City already knew a thod to use the Nine-Headed Dragon’s power for individual strength enhancent. After Chui Chui acquired this thod, it was re-optimized and restructured by the central database, becoming a technique within the Eternal Domain capable of elevating heroes beyond their current levels. Later, Yan Xing used materials gathered from the Witches’ Aid Society to further upgrade this technique. This upgrade improved the stability and safety of the enhancent process, preventing significant negative physical or ntal repercussions for the heroes after their strength increased.
The specific enhancent process utilized the Nine-Headed Dragon’s energy and creation abilities, combined with empowernts from infernal creatures once utilized by Kayron, to generate an illusory realm. Within this realm, heroes would face a relentless onslaught of infernal monsters. By fighting ceaselessly within this illusion, heroes could leverage the world’s rules to augnt their strength. Concurrently, the illusion would calculate the hero’s adaptive limit for strength increase and then employ the Nine-Headed Dragon’s power to bestow even greater enhancents. Simply put, this system functioned like a private server established using the world’s chanics, enabling those within the illusion to earn increased Experience and skill rewards. This incrental power progression allowed heroes to adapt to their augnted strength without suffering severe side effects from a sudden surge.
Of course, this enhancent was not limitless. The Nine-Headed Dragon, impaled by a spear and in a sealed state, could not provide infinite energy. A hero’s ultimate level of advancent was determined by their innate potential and their resilience under the illusion’s pressure. Chui Chui could currently manage a maximum of three individuals training simultaneously in the Nine-Headed Dragon Illusion Realm; any more would significantly elevate the risk.
After a motivational address, Yan Xing instructed Olaf, Donna, and Aranda to imdiately transfer their current responsibilities and report to Heize City. Olaf was to hand over command of the Werewolf First Division to Li Zhua. Aranda’s duties would be distributed among various departnts of the Municipal Administration Office. As for Donna, Yan Xing decided to personally assu command of the Special Combat Battalion to identify more candidates suitable for Magic Weapons and super weapons.
After the eting, Olaf and Aranda departed. Yan Xing accompanied Donna to the Special Combat Battalion’s headquarters.
The Eternal Domain’s Special Combat Battalion comprised 1,000 official combatants, all of whom were heroes possessing battle skills. The bulk of the battalion’s combat missions fell to the 200-mber First Special Combat Battalion, with the remaining personnel providing support. The elite core of the First Special Combat Battalion was the 12-mber First Special Combat Squad. These were all elite-level heroes with exceptionally high composite combat power ratings, showing the potential to surpass the 3,000-point threshold and achieve the rank of Special Ability Hero. Achieving the rank of Special Ability Hero was the minimum requirent for equipping a full set of Magic Weapons. If "boosted" within the Nine-Headed Dragon Illusion Realm, they might even surpass 5,000 points and qualify as users of super weapons.
However, entry tickets to the Nine-Headed Dragon Illusion Realm were scarce, so priority for this specialized training was naturally given to trusted, long-serving subordinates. Candidates for subsequent training would require ticulous consideration and selection.
While Yan Xing prepared for the next phase of the war, the army of the Wildwind Principality had also completed all preparations for its assault. To bolster the campaign’s montum and make a show of force, Anderson even contacted General Old Momu of the Orcs, hoping the Orc army from Highland City would coordinate an attack on the Elf-controlled Frostleaf City. It would be even better if the Barbaric Orcs could launch a full-scale offensive against Snowland. However, the Barbaric Orcs had not yet finalized plans for such an extensive attack; after all, a war involving the entire nation wasn’t sothing to be initiated rely to align with Anderson’s tactical maneuvers. Nevertheless, General Old Momu perceived this as an opportunity to demonstrate strength and garner more support from Cloud Tower. Thus, he decided to join Anderson in a joint offensive on the Wildwind Highlands.
The Orc forces from Highland City mobilized. As the first Barbaric Orc army to be outfitted with Alchemical Weapons, their procession, accompanied by airships, presented an imposing spectacle, regardless of how effectively they could utilize their new armants.
The New Elf King Erelado, having received early intelligence of the Orcs’ aggressive intentions, personally led his forces to Frostleaf City. Although a bloodless transfer of power had allowed Erelado to ascend the throne peacefully, this absence of conflict also ant that a substantial number of dissenters remained among the Snow Elves. Unlike the World Tree in the Royal Court, the remote Frostleaf City was Erelado’s true power base. If Frostleaf City remained stable, his throne was secure. If Frostleaf City faced peril, his crown too would be at risk.
Upon arriving at Frostleaf City to marshal his forces for the impending battle, Erelado also dispatched a plea for aid to the Eternal Domain.
