The monsters' roars continually emanated; they had discovered the massive troop on the highway and launched an attack.
"Heavy Angel Envoy, move in, and mind to divide the monsters, group one to the left three, group two to the right two, capture alive!"
Commands constantly rang out, and under their leaders' guidance, the team steadily repelled the attacks from monsters in the wastelands on both sides of the highway.
The Tree Domain warriors swiftly knocked down the monsters, then the Angel Envoys moved in, their sharp daggers slicing through the bodies of the monsters as they stuffed in parasitic vines.
The monsters were crippled and then half-dead, buried by the roadside, one every thirty or forty meters or so.
Parasitic Corpse Willows were the preferred method for clearing the route, ensuring the road stayed clear for a long time without constant fear of lurking monsters.
The Tree Domain warriors were swift, but such operations meant that advancement couldn't be fast.
