Chapter 1809: Dread
In the sky, the air force below the level of intermediate leaders plummeted like raindrops, creating an incredibly shocking scene. The air force's piercing wails were so intense they threatened to rupture eardrums.
Bang!
The God of Ravens couldn't help but open his eyes again. A crack appeared as the Queen suddenly collided with it, attempting to break through. The God of Ravens quickly closed his eyes, and the crack slowly receded.
Everyone stood there dumbfounded, witnessing the extremely shocking scene in the sky, unsure of how to express their feelings at this moment.
A roar that broke through ten thousand troops, such a description is not an exaggeration. This roar didn't just kill ten thousand troops; it was practically a complete sweep, leaving the air force below the level of intermediate leaders nearly annihilated.
After the shock, everyone began to notice the enormous Void King Insect in the sky.
The King Insect's body was akin to a behemoth, like a small city, with a hull full of uneven carapace, wrapped in metal and bristling with countless spikes.
The last time I saw something so massive was the Molten Mountain Dragon, and this is a behemoth flying in the sky.
"What kind of monstrous thing is this?" the Great Magician shouted.
No one could answer his question; everyone just stared blankly at the monster in the sky.
They thought victory was within grasp, that everything was under control, but now such a massive variable appeared.
Looking at Li Yao, who was still extremely calm, and thinking of his previous words, it was evident this thing was even stronger than a warship.
In fact, the King Insect's functionality and combat power indeed surpassed that of a warship, with its only weakness being its defense wasn't as strong as a warship's.
Warships have stable defense barriers, and if the King Insect could have a warship-style array built upon it, it would be even more terrifying.
Of course, saying the King Insect's defense isn't up to par is in comparison to a warship. The King Insect's flaw is that it can't continuously withstand demigod-level impacts and attacks like a warship can.
However, when it comes to warfare and combat functions, the King Insect is more aggressive.
Moreover, the King Insect can carry a much larger force than a warship. Not only does it carry troops, but its inherent Void Bug summoning is both offensive and defensive.
"What is this? Such a gigantic bug, oh my God." Skywide thought everything was over, but now upon seeing this gigantic creature, he saw hope.
Li Yao smiled, "Attacking the main city without full preparation is impossible. The exposure of two warships was too much, and because they are too strong, they naturally cause the enemy's wariness and research into countermeasures. How could I not think about what to do without the warships?"
Eternal Bloom snapped at Li Yao, "You're really something. You almost got us all killed."
Li Yao shrugged, "Your words have a lot of ambiguity. You shouldn't say them carelessly."
Eternal Bloom realized, her face blushing slightly, but she quickly recovered, "You're something else. Everyone was intensely anguished and heroic, but you managed to calculate everyone. Are you satisfied now? So many have withdrawn from the battle."Skywide also said, "Isn't that right? If you had disclosed even a little earlier, there might not have been so many people."
"I still say, too many people. Do you think I was joking?" Li Yao sneered, "There are always some people with crooked ideas, who become fence-sitters at the slightest setback. Is the main city so easy to conquer? Who knows what twists may happen later. Rather than have them become a weak link affecting others during a real battle, it's better to kick them out before it truly begins. I will only lead those who believe in me and follow orders to earn military merits and profit. As for these fence-sitters, ha."
The two sighed, and the newcomer Mu Zi blinked beside Li Yao, "Boss, the staff department is stirring things up again."
"What's up?" Li Yao raised an eyebrow.
"Isn't it still those who withdrew? Some are clamoring to accept the tasks again, while others complain about the cancellation of military merits," the newcomer Mu Zi said helplessly.
Li Yao chuckled, looking at Eternal Bloom and the two others, "See? What use are these trash? They jump in when there's benefit and pull back when there's none."
The two couldn't say anything. These people still don't understand, do they? When did Li Yao ever compromise? He's the type who listens to reason, not force. If you discuss matters properly, there's a chance, but making trouble without understanding – do you think Li Yao would indulge you? There's no peaceful resolution possible.As expected, Li Yao continued, "These people are indeed ogre-bought traitors. I'll send ten thousand flying dragons to you to kill them all. After reviving, confine them and escort them to the main city for the Chieftain's judgment."
"On it." The newcomer Mu Zi's face was full of excitement.
"Isn't that too harsh? Being branded as traitors, their guilds likely won't benefit, facing downgrades, and seizing of lands would be the least of it," Skywide exclaimed.
"That's the Chieftain's affair, not mine," Li Yao said, then resumed looking at the battlefield.
The two were speechless. It was truly harsh. This time, these guilds, if not dead, would be heavily damaged, with even several super guilds facing severe blows.Especially if Li Yao really takes the main city, those people will be done for."Damn it, at all costs, take down that monster of mine," the Great Magician was anxious too.Needless to say, if they left this thing to the end to use, it must be incredibly powerful. Originally, the ogres were still managing with ease. Adding an air strike, it was truly dangerous.
"My God, can you deal with this monster?" the Great Magician prayed.
The God of Ravens sighed, "Divine power is limited. Suppressing one warship at all times is already the limit. I can fight with their strong ones, but killing this monster is impossible. There's a dragon queen over its head at all times. If I strike, the energy will quickly deplete. Are you sure you want me to attack now?"
The Great Magician smiled bitterly and shook his head, still suppressing a warship seemed reliable, "I understand."
"This is fate. A race's prosperity and continuation rely absolutely not on gods but on yourselves. I can give you faith, providing you with hard will, but I can't solve every matter for you. Mud can't support a wall."
"I understand," the Great Magician sighed. He was just frantic. Now that he thought it over, he realized it was definitely not the time for the God of Ravens to strike.
"Great Magician, it's arranged, and it will surely destroy this monster in one fell swoop," the Air Force Commander said.
The Great Magician waved his hand, "You also prepare, ready to lead the elite at a moment's notice."
"Understood." The Air Force Commander had a foreboding feeling; could the monster in the sky really be that difficult to deal with?From the Ogre Main City, another dense wave of air forces took flight, and these forces were even more elite.
Their mission was solely to eradicate the monster in the sky. At the very least, they had to bring it down...
