The beasts started walking toward the wall without any formation or strategy. Yue Fei, seeing this, quickly adjusted the defenses, forming a line of the twenty First Step Body Refiners spearmen he had trained, positioning them on the wall where the impact was expected to be strongest. Behind them, the civilians stood ready, armed with large stones to hurl at the heads of those disgusting creatures.
As the beasts approached the wall, stones rained down, instantly killing or incapacitating many of them. Time passed, and as more and more beasts died, the defenders began to grow careless. With a mountain of corpses piling up, some stronger green skins managed to leap over the wall, injuring a few civilians. Fortunately, the general was nearby and swiftly killed the intruders.
"Don't lose yourselves in battle, you bastards! Pay attention to the formation and take these people to the medic!" Yue Fei barked.
Realizing their mistake, the spearmen moved forward and began focusing their attacks below the wall. Since the difference in rank in the Mortal Realms wasn't too great, they managed to hold their position against the stronger beasts.
The battle raged on until the largest green skin finally made its move. Yue Fei reacted immediately. He knew that fighting the creature on the walls would cause too much damage, so he jumped down and charged at the monster. I watched as the two warriors clashed. Yue Fei held the upper hand—each strike of his spear forced the beast to retreat.
But the monster's superior equipment turned the tide. Activating its energy, the large hammer and armor began to glow, enhancing its speed and strength. Yue Fei's movements became slower in comparison, and with a swift strike, the green skin sent him flying.
I went pale. Watching the beast approach Yue Fei with a sinister grin, I wished desperately for him to flee. With every step it took, my panic grew. Raising its hammer, just as it prepared to deliver the killing blow, Yue Fei's spear lit up. In a flash, it pierced the monster's throat.
"THE BEAST IS DEAD!" one of the spearmen beside me shouted. With bloodlust in their eyes, the defenders finished off the remaining green skins.
[Congratulations on a perfect victory! No casualties.]

Even now, this damn system won't let me enjoy my short moment of happiness. "Clear the fields and go rest—tonight, we shall celebrate with a feast!" I shouted.
"LONG LIVE THE LORD!"
"LONG LIVE THE LORD!"
"Yue Fei, you also need to rest. This victory is thanks to you. Xiao and Elizabeth, come with me to the office."
"Yes, sir!"
