122: War of attrition, the advantage is mine

“Prompt: Your Mist Tower has been destroyed by another Lord!”

A cold notification rang in Li Feng’s mind.

Actually, Li Feng didn’t need a prompt to know.

Because he himself stood on the castle’s watchtower, witnessing a giant black dragon descend and destroy his Mist Tower.

“Roar!”

After completing its mission, the Darkwing Dragon King did not retreat, but roared at the dense swarm of Flying Mantises in front of it.

This was a biological weapon without intelligence.

If it were its original form, a wild Darkwing Dragon King, it would be smarter than humans and would never provoke so many Flying Mantises equipped with crystal armor.

“Annihilate it!” Li Feng ordered coldly.

Upon receiving the order, a group of Flying Mantises immediately flew out of formation, fiercely attacking the Darkwing Dragon King.

Just as the mist cleared, the Darkwing Dragon King’s massive body crashed heavily to the ground.

Of course, this wasn't the scene that truly terrified Gerard.

What truly terrified him was the countless Seven-Colored Star Ladybugs hovering in the air.

Only about a day had passed since the first punitive expedition, and the memory was still very clear in his mind.

If he remembered correctly, Li Feng didn’t have so many Troops before; how did so many suddenly appear?

But at this point, thinking too much was useless; there was only battle!

The Taiyi Alliance had paid a huge price and had to capture Li Feng alive!

“Attack! Destroy Li Feng’s territory and Troops, capture Li Feng alive!” Gerard roared.

“Kill, kill, kill! This battle is sure to be won! The Alliance is invincible!”

“This battle is sure to be won! The Alliance is invincible!”

“…”

Inspired by Gerard, the other Lords also declared their attacks.

A black torrent surged towards Li Feng’s city walls, intent on sweeping everything away.

“Tsk tsk, is this what ten million Troops look like? It truly stretches as far as the eye can see.”

Li Feng clicked his tongue in wonder.

He hadn't given any specific orders, as he had already issued the highest directives earlier.

Except for Speite, the other Zerg heroes were to fight independently.

There was no need to consider battle losses; just kill the enemy!

No matter how much was lost, this war would make him profit.

Moreover, his mass production of Troops had no time cost; he wouldn't feel bad no matter how many died, he would just summon more.

Two hundred thousand Flying Mantises charged directly into the enemy ranks, fighting furiously.

“Hmm? A special War Treasure?”

Li Feng frowned slightly.

As the war began, he immediately sensed something was off.

Those first-tier Troops, which were supposed to be cannon fodder, each possessed the strength of sixth-tier Troops.

Clearly, the opponent also possessed a sixth-tier War Treasure similar to the Zombie Hand.

Li Feng wasn’t surprised by this.

After all, the Taiyi Alliance had gone all out to capture him alive.

What was the big deal about giving out a few sixth-tier War Treasures?

But what truly made Li Feng frown was that he found every single cannon fodder Troop possessed sixth-tier combat power.

This was a bit ridiculous.

No matter how vast the Taiyi Alliance’s resources were, it was impossible for them to bestow hundreds of sixth-tier Troops, as these cannon fodder Troops came from hundreds of different Lords, not just one person.

The reason Li Feng was so certain that these cannon fodder Troops came from hundreds of people, not just one, also had a cause.

Summoning Troops with items wasn’t like using gold coins, where you just stood in front of a Troop altar and, with a thought, could spend gold coins to summon them.

Troops summoned with items required the Lord to insert them one by one, even with a War Tech Tree.

One person summoning an army of ten million, even without eating or sleeping, would take ten days to half a month; how could they attack so quickly?

Therefore, Li Feng was certain.

Gerard and the others must possess a special War Treasure.

It could allow the Troops of hundreds of people to all possess the strength of sixth-tier Troops.

“If there’s an opportunity, I must get my hands on this War Treasure.”

Thinking this, Li Feng’s gaze naturally fell on Gerard.

Just by looking at Gerard’s position, it was clear that he was in the core C position, so that special War Treasure must be in his hands.

“That Dragon Kingdom Lord is looking over; I bet he’s panicking inside right now.”

“Don’t underestimate him; he has a considerable number of powerful Troops under him.”

“Hmph, what does that matter? Our Troops all possess the strength of sixth-tier Troops; we can wear him down and kill him.”

Listening to the discussions of the people behind him, Gerard’s initially uneasy heart gradually relaxed.

“That’s right, with the seventh-tier War Treasure ‘War Pact’ and the sixth-tier War Treasure ‘Bloodthirst Demon Spear’ bestowed by the gods, there will be no suspense in this war; we are sure to win!” Gerard thought to himself.

A war of ten million erupted, the battlefield transforming into a terrifying meat grinder, with large numbers of Troops dying every moment.

In the sky, flying Troops fell like rain, constantly plummeting to the ground.

There were those from the Taiyi Alliance, and there were also Li Feng’s.

“I had originally intended to quickly sweep through, but I didn’t expect it to turn into a war of attrition. But it doesn’t matter; victory will still be mine in the end.”

Li Feng murmured, his words filled with great confidence.

Although the Taiyi Alliance’s ten million sixth-tier Troops surprised him, it merely delayed his victory.

In front of seventh-tier Troops, sixth-tier Troops were only destined to be slaughtered.

Most of Li Feng’s Troops died after fighting to exhaustion, then being ganged up on and killed.

On the surface, Li Feng’s Troop numbers were diminishing, and the rate of their disappearance was far faster than that of the Taiyi Alliance.

It seemed that in this war, Li Feng was at a significant disadvantage.

But Li Feng remained unperturbed.

“Your Troops killed a Dark Knight, your Troops gained a small amount of experience, you gained 50 gold coins!”

“Your Troops killed a Troll, your Troops gained a small amount of experience, you gained 100 gold coins!”

“Your Troops killed a Goblin, your Troops gained a small amount of experience, you gained 1 gold coin!”

“…”

If Li Feng’s gold coin balance were likened to a wallet.

Then, as the war began, his originally deflated wallet was visibly swelling.

For other Lords, this actually held little significance.

Because they couldn’t spend these gold coins in a short amount of time.

But in the second basement level of Li Feng’s castle, a continuous stream of Troops was being created.

“A war of attrition, the advantage is mine!” Li Feng looked at the stalemated battlefield, a meaningful expression on his face…
