According to Cross's order, a group of gunners of the Astra Militarum will continuously fire Shell, because of their experience of dealing with the Undead Knights, and fly toward the 100-unit Elf squad.
A whole ten minutes passed and hundreds of Shells fell, but none of them could kill these 100 Elves, not even a little damage could be done. No matter how many Shells fell on them, meteors fell from the sky and blocked all the Shells.
Generals and scientists of the Astra Militarum were stunned. Seeing this, shock converted into goosebumps and the hairs on their whole body stood up. It was not just that these meteors were too bizarre, in addition, the problem was that there were so many of them.
How did these meteors appear? It was as if something had been created out of nothing and it was baffling. They have no clue how to go forward. If these meteors kept appearing, no matter how many Shells they had, and how accurate the Artillery fire was, what was the use of that?
"Calm down." Looking at the group of scientists who were slightly turbulent around, the team leader of the research team, an old scientist snorted and said, "Don't confuse yourself, it's still the same thing, so there's nothing extraordinary. It's just that we haven't discovered the nature of this thing yet."
"Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience", This quote from the old scientist quieted down the surrounding area.
After that, they picked up the binoculars again and they started observing more carefully. They just don't believe that 100 of the most elite scientists couldn't find out how these meteors appeared.
Cross also slightly frowned, but he didn't give orders indiscriminately. He did not command for a stop, so the gunfire continued. He would like to see if these meteors were boundless.
"Huh?" A young scientist suddenly snorted and said, "Have you noticed? These meteors have a certain range and will only appear near the 100-person elf team. If it is a further range, the shells will fall, and they will not be blocked by the meteor."
Hearing this, all the scientists took a careful look at it. Not long after, it was discovered that it was the same as what the young scientist said. If the shells were ten meters away from the perimeter of the 100-unit Elf squad, it wouldn't encounter that mysterious meteor.
"There is more." Another scientist added: "The number of these meteors is not spontaneous, but it's similar to the number of shells we fired. To be precise, it's the same as the Shells that landed on the 100-unit Elf squad."
"So..." A young scientist had a whim and said, "Could it be the skill of the leader? Or the ability of the bow on her back? It's like the ability of the Murloc before, as they could summon the tides. Are these meteors also a skill of this Elf?"
Hearing this, the group thinks deeply. This was... highly possible. They know very little about the supernatural species but each one has its special ability, it was just that there was no info at this time.
"Keep monitoring and find a solution if it's the talent of these Elves or the ability of that bow?" Cross gave the order and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.
If they couldn't figure out the real reason for it, even if the Astra Militarum had more Shells, they couldn't afford to consume them either.
[ ===== ]
"It should be the meteor bow, right?"
"It's a meteor bow. Even though Dark Elves are more powerful than ordinary Elves, I don't think they can have such a powerful talent."
"So the powerful side of the Dark Elves is this."
"If this meteor bow is so threatening, then… this wave will be difficult for the candidates."
"The examiner is even more ruthless in this wave, and I'm afraid that every one of the geniuses is going to cry."
In the City Hall, the group reacted one by one after the initial surprise. With their experience, they soon discovered the secrets of the meteors.
The Mayor, who was sitting above, also spoke up and said, "In this wave, it is estimated that more geniuses will fall than we estimated."
"I'm afraid some of the top geniuses will be forced to show their trump cards."
"It depends on whether these geniuses can discover the secrets of these meteors, otherwise, they can only use their strength to fight head-on, and that will be a big loss."
A few people next to him added.

"Try to shoot the Elf in the rear." Above the city walls, Fleming, who had been observing, suddenly spoke up.
"Shell the elves in the back." Cross was slightly stunned, but he immediately reacted. He immediately ordered: "Attention, half continue to shell the squad, while the other half will change their target, shell the army in the rear."
In the next moment, about half of the Shells changed the target. The Shells flew away from the back of the 100-unit Elf squad, instead, they were going to the army in the rear.
Seeing the shells flying over, those Elves in the rear were not panicking and they scattered quickly. In terms of agility and speed, these Elves were still very fast, in addition, each squad had arranged for an Elf Captain on their mount. Likewise, on their back was a longbow engraved with the mark of a meteor.
BOOM-!, BOOM-!, BOOM-!, BOOM...
All the shells were blocked by the meteors that appeared out of thin air, the same as before. Within a certain range, these meteors just appeared automatically and these Elf Captains didn't make a move either.
"Hmm? Look, everyone..." A scientist pointed to the middle of the Elf group, a female Elf riding a huge tiger, and said, "The meteor bow behind this Elf Captain is bigger than the others."
Others looked over and immediately noticed this as well.
"Judging by the respect of the people around, this Elf should be the leader of the entire army." One scientist speculated.
"In that case…" An older scientist pondered for a moment and said, "These meteors, instead of being a skill of the Elves, are more likely generated by those meteor bows!"
"How can a bow and arrow automatically produce meteors?" Another scientist questioned.
"This is a Supernatural race, and these meteor bows are probably also Supernatural items; sp any magical ability is possible." Most scientists agreed with this idea.
"Don't argue, observe closely." The leader of the research team snorted and then said, "Quickly find a way to solve the appearance of these meteors, hmm… these Elves are attacking."
The Astra Militarum was concentrating as the Elf army in the rear seemed to be enraged by the Shelling. They began to line up in formation, divided into squads of a hundred, each with an Elf Captain riding a giant tiger. The squads dispersed, and then marched quickly toward the city wall, only stopping at the 400-meter mark.
"Attention gunners, aim down-!" Cross immediately shouted.
WHOOSH-!, WHOOSH-!, WHOOSH-!, WHOOSH...
In the next moment, they heard the sound of countless arrows slicing through the air. An arrow shot by an Elf against the wind still came flying, descending onto the city walls, then explosions rang out as some arrows struck the city walls and others hit the shields above the heads of the Guardsmen. The blasts were continuous.
Looking behind at Elizabeth, Rommel, and others, everyone couldn't help but sweat. Since the Conquest, the Astra Militarum had never suffered a casualty, even when they met the Murloc forces in the third round, they remained unscathed.
However, this wave brought the wretched Elves. Not only was their defense unbelievable, but the meteors that appeared from nowhere were impervious even to Shells and Bullets. Their attack range was also alarming, 400 or 500 meters away, and they could still strike.
The shields of the Astra Militarum Guardsmen couldn't withstand many attacks, and once depleted, these Guardsmen could only hunker down behind the battlements, unable to show their heads. With the Elves' bow and arrow accuracy, a single exposure was bound to be fatal.
"DAMN IT-!" Denis, in command this time, punched the city wall hard in frustration.
The leaders of the past three waves commanded victory; but on his turn, he didn't even dare to fight back. It was extremely hard to bear.
[ ===== ]
On other candidates' planets, things weren't much better. The Astra Militarum at least had walls to defend, but the Supernatural races created by other candidates could only rely on their strength.
BOOM-!
At Lucy's position, the armor of an Energy Warrior shattered under an arrow from an Elf, and as another arrow followed close behind, the Energy Warrior was nailed alive to the ground. The arrows used by these Elves were far stronger than ordinary arrows, and even an Energy Warrior's strong physique wasn't enough to survive.
Watching, Lucy felt a headache setting in; this was not a simulation but real combat, each fallen Energy Warrior meant a decrease in combat power. Her biggest support was the 1,500-strong Mages Legion's super-spell magic attack, but even they failed, as it was blocked by the mysteriously appearing meteors. How else could they fight?
[ ===== ]
Under the city walls of the Astra Militarum, the Elf teams advanced while attacking. They were approaching within 300 meters, causing Cross to clench his fist in worry as this was an extremely dangerous boundary!
"Should we use the tactics of the third wave?" A General asked.
"No." Cross thought for a moment and shook his head. The tactic from the third wave against the Murlocs wouldn't work well against a foe with high intelligence and long-range capabilities.
"This is bad," A General shouted suddenly.
Cross looked down and saw the Captain of an Elf squad, holding his meteor bow. An arrow flew not toward the crowd on the walls, but straight for the gate beneath.
BOOM-!
With a loud blast, the freshly mended gate shattered again. The morale of the 3,000 Elves surged, and they advanced faster. Despite the Astra Militarum's Artillery fire, the meteors rendered it ineffective against the Elves.
"We must not let them break through," Cross shouted coldly.
The Elf Captain's arrow was even stronger than the Murloc Leader's trident attack. If they breached the inner wall, shooting at close range could be deadly, even the half-meter-thick inner gate wasn't safe.
"The problems lie in those meteors. Without them, no matter how powerful the Elves' attacks are, what's there to fear?" Denis clenched his fists tightly, deep in thought.
He was a General who yielded but was lucky enough to be among the five Generals commanding the Conquest, so he couldn't afford to mess this up. Everyone else knew this too, but the meteors seemed almost incomprehensible.
"Let's use the backup tactics for now."
