What started as simple military formations evolved into sophisticated combined arms operations. Each new challenge presented armies that built upon the lessons of their predecessors, forcing Elio to constantly refine his approach.
But the wolf's sensory capabilities combined with chemical mastery proved consistently devastating.
"The tighter their formation, the more vulnerable they are to chain reactions."
Yet the orcs continued to evolve. They developed rotating shield formations that could rapidly adapt to threats. Their mages learned to create layered defenses that had to be stripped away methodically. Support units carried artifacts specifically designed to dampen chemical reactions.
Each challenge became a test not just of power, but of tactical adaptation. Elio had to coordinate Emberg's elemental control, Poison Stinger's defensive capabilities, and the wolf's explosions in increasingly complex ways.
