154: Chapter 154 What? The lord is a Zerg?
First of all, the trump card dragon bone cannot be touched.
The opponent has a territory of one hundred square kilometers,
which is enough to show that it was accumulated after fighting I don't know how many battles.
To be able to survive until now, the lord definitely has a more powerful trump card.
Therefore, let's test out the opponent's strength first.
Xu Qin turned around and looked at Tian Ming standing at the entrance of the main hall.
"Tian Ming."
"Present."
"You, take Manniu, Jackal Hunter, Blade Guard, War Rhino, and lead three thousand Bone Beasts, five thousand Minotaurs, and two thousand Sand Jackals to advance frontally."
"The Lich Legion will follow in the rear to provide healing and slow effects."
"Chuan Yun, Tietang, you two lead the Ranged Troops to provide supporting fire on the deck of the Floating City."
"Troglodytes will not participate in the battle; all of them go down to dig traps. Dig three rows at a position two hundred meters in front of our frontline."
"Dragon Bone and Shadow, stay in the city on standby."
Xu Qin thought for a few seconds and continued to add,
"You must lure them out first. I want to see what other trump cards the opponent has."
Tian Ming nodded and said respectfully:
"As you command, Master."
...
Ten minutes later.
Eight hundred meters in front of the Floating City,
the Undead Army had finished arraying its formation.
Three thousand Stitched Bone Beasts stood in the very front row.
Behind them were five thousand Minotaurs and two thousand Sand Jackals, forming a thick center army.
Tian Ming stood in the center of the army, the dark purple light of the bone emperor scepter enveloping the entire field.
Opposite them,
the Iron-Spine Lizardman army was also moving.
The ground trembled.
Tens of thousands of lizardmen formed neat phalanxes, advancing toward this side with heavy steps.
They were about two meters and a half tall, walking upright,
their backs covered with iron-gray scales, holding bone weapons in their hands.
Xu Qin stood on the Watchtower, overlooking the entire battlefield.
"Attack!"
Tian Ming raised the scepter and issued the order first.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The Undead Army strode forward in unison.
The three thousand Bone Beasts took steps,
gradually accelerating until they turned directly into a Charge.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The Bone Beast swarm crashed into the lizardman vanguard.
-680!
-620!
-660!
A flurry of numbers burst out from the collision damage of the Bone Beasts.
The Iron-Spine Lizard warriors who were suddenly impacted were directly knocked flying two or three meters,
and after rolling a few circles on the ground, they quickly climbed back up.
Although this attack looked quite fierce,
for an army of over ten thousand,
it was completely unable to disperse them.
However, the Bone Beasts that rushed into the enemy formation were surrounded by a dozen or so lizardmen.
Bone blades and bone spears stabbed in unison from all directions.
-60! -10! -80! -90!
The health bar of the Bone Beasts was dropping at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"Group Hunting Synergy" took effect.
When fifteen lizardmen besieged, each one's attack power increased by 45%.
The original attack power of 1420 became 2130.
But for Bone Beasts with thousands of defense,
these attack powers could hardly cause any high damage.
However...
Looking at the battlefield data, Xu Qin's brows still slightly furrowed, and his face looked solemn.
Because not even 10 seconds had passed before the first Bone Beast was besieged and killed by twelve lizardmen.
Boom!
[Wraith Fury] triggered!
The moment the Bone Beast shattered, soul energy exploded and spread outward with it as the center.
-84000! -84000! -84000!
Within a five-meter range, six Iron-Spine Lizard warriors were directly blown into fragments.
The rest were pushed out by the shockwave, and their health points each dropped by more than half.
Shortly after, the second Bone Beast fell.
Boom!
Another six lizardmen were wiped out.
Looking at the battle loss ratio, Xu Qin shook his head slightly.
Because the opponent's attacks were high-frequency, not high-attack slow-paced attacks.
Therefore, the health-locking passive of the Bone Beasts completely failed to display its proper effect.
Don't look at how the opponent is dealing chip damage.
With their high frequency of chip damage, they could still instantly kill a Bone Beast.
"I can only say it's all right; the battle loss ratio is one to six."
However, the lizardmen's troop strength was twelve thousand.
The Undead side only had three thousand Bone Beasts.
If they traded blows head-on,
three thousand Bone Beasts could blow up close to twenty thousand lizard soldiers.
However, the opposite side had Heavy Armor Guards, so it might not necessarily achieve the current effect.
At this very moment,
Tian Ming's Bone Emperor Might activated.
Hum!
The purplish-black light spread out.
Within a radius of three hundred meters, all lizardmen suffered 1200 shadow damage per second.
-1200!
-1200!
-1200!
The sudden spell attack caused the lizardmen's formation to begin falling into chaos.
In the rear, the Lich Legion also began casting spells in unison.
[Wither Curse]!
[Undead Healing]!
While the defense of the front-row Heavy Armor Guards decreased,
the Bone Beast swarm also began to recover health.
Although the health recovery effect was not obvious,
it was enough to prolong the continuous combat time of the Bone Beasts.
In this way, the battle between the two sides entered a stalemate stage lasting for 10 minutes.
A low roar came from the lizardman formation.
Then, more red dots gushed out from the depths of the minimap.
Xu Qin watched the numbers continue to grow, directly hitting eighteen thousand.
"As expected, there are reinforcements..."
With his hands behind his back, he said puzzledly,
"But where are your heroes? Why don't you send out heroes to make a move?"
Rumble, rumble!
Six thousand new lizardmen pressed up from the rear.
The massive quantity instantly submerged the undead frontline.
The Bone Beasts were forced to begin retreating step by step.
Even with Tian Ming's orders, they could not resist in the slightest.
The lizardmen's numerical advantage began to manifest,
and they directly ignored the Bone Beasts, outflanking from both wings in an attempt to encircle them.
At this moment,
Plop!
Dozens of lizardmen stepped into the trap belt dug by the Troglodytes.
Plop!
Plop!
In the first row of trap pits, hundreds of lizardmen fell in.
Puff, puff, puff!
As soon as they fell to the bottom of the pit, their entire bodies were pierced by bone spikes.
-800!
-800!
The damage was not fatal and could not kill them all,
but this move directly disrupted their Charge rhythm.
The lizardman units outflanking from both wings could no longer maintain it and were forced to detour.
Xu Qin directly opened the Floating City control interface and pressed the [Forward] button.
Boom!
The Floating City's engine started, and the entire city advanced three hundred meters forward.
The range of [Lords Protection] covered the entire frontline.
All attributes +50%!
In an instant, the attack and defense of the Bone Beasts soared vertically.
The Bone Beasts that were originally besieged suddenly became much tougher, causing the damage values dealt by the lizardmen to plummet.
"War Rhino! Charge!" Xu Qin shouted the order.
Roar!!!
A four-meter-tall giant bone rhinoceros killed its way out of the formation.
War Rhino led six hundred and thirty bone rhinoceroses and directly crashed into the lizardmen's flank.
Rumble, rumble!
Knockback!
Stun!
Trample!
The lizardmen were knocked tumbling by War Rhino, and their formation was forcefully torn open with a gap.
The battle line was deadlocked once again.
Just as Xu Qin was about to breathe a sigh of relief,
a golden spot of light lit up in the deepest part of the minimap.
"Oh?!"
That was a hero's mark.
The opponent's hero was finally going to make its debut.
Xu Qin directly magnified the screen.
But after seeing clearly, his eyes instantly widened.
Hmm?
Not lizardmen?
In the image,
the one walking out turned out to be a three-meter-tall mantis?
Zerg?
The command panel popped up detection information.
[Enemy Lord: Clarks]
[Race: Blade Beetle Race]
[Level: 61]
"Not... not a hero? It's a lord?"
"A Zerg lord commanding a lizardman army?"
Xu Qin's mouth opened wide.
In other words, this guy is just like him.
The troops he commands are of a different race from his own?
