99: Charge! Charge desperately!

But this wasn't what truly terrified the lords of the Taiyi Alliance.

What horrified them was that the Beedrills, which should have been mere cannon fodder, could easily slaughter their Troops.

They witnessed with their own eyes as the Beedrills and their Troop legions, two great torrents, collided.

Then, their Troop legion torrent began to retreat at a speed visible to the naked eye.

They hadn't ordered the army to retreat.

It was simply because the army's advance speed couldn't match the Beedrills' slaughtering speed.

This was simply too absurd!

A Troop type deemed useless, one that should have been slaughtered, had actually swapped roles with their Troops.

"War Treasure!"

Gerard's expression tightened, and he immediately thought of this.

As an existence on the World Prodigy List, Gerard himself was also the first place in his own division.

He had also shone brightly in his division, claiming the reward for the first dungeon clear.

Among the rewards, there was naturally a Tier 6 War Treasure.

It was precisely because he obtained that Tier 6 War Treasure, coupled with some other opportunities, that he was able to accumulate tens of millions of points and ascend to the nineteenth spot on the World Prodigy List.

Gerard's brows furrowed slightly.

He had actually anticipated this point earlier.

After all, Li Feng's ability to accumulate such an exaggerated amount of points already spoke volumes.

Furthermore, he had learned from the Taiyi Alliance, or more accurately, from his sister's group of eliminated individuals, that Li Feng possessed twenty to thirty thousand Beedrills.

Therefore, before setting out, he had already made all necessary preparations.

In his opinion, even with twenty to thirty thousand Beedrills comparable to Tier 6 Troops, they still wouldn't be enough against his Gray Giant and Phili's Bronze Dragons.

However, from the very beginning, the script had not unfolded as he expected.

He had vastly underestimated Li Feng's strength.

In his view, as both were first in their divisions and had only developed for a month, Li Feng's city defense strength should not differ much from his own.

He subconsciously compared himself to Li Feng, believing Li Feng's city defense strength should be similar to his.

This was the arrogance of being a prodigy, of being first in a division.

But the facts proved that the gap was too wide.

The thick city walls and over a thousand ordinary arrow towers were one thing.

The number of elite arrow towers was also within an acceptable range.

But four legendary arrow towers, and the even more precious War Tech Tree, far exceeded his expectations.

Not only that, from the scene of the Bronze Dragon's demise earlier, he could also tell.

The hundreds of Seven-Colored Star Ladybugs on the city wall were also Tier 7 Troops.

He was able to summon hundreds of Gray Giant in advance because he had joined the Taiyi Alliance and was highly valued by the alliance's higher-ups, who specifically bestowed precious items upon him.

But he remembered that Li Feng had rejected all offers from various factions, so how could he summon hundreds of Tier 7 Troops?

Not only that, the supposed twenty to thirty thousand Beedrills now numbered at least sixty to seventy thousand.

And there were also over a thousand Tier 6 Flying Mantises.

All of this exceeded Gerard's expectations.

"Damn it! Phili, you useless idiot!"

Because he saw that tens of thousands of Beedrills had already surrounded his Gray Giant.

He turned his head and glared fiercely at Phili, who was already stunned.

Gray Giant possess stronger physiques, which in terms of data means thicker health bars, tougher defenses, and greater strength.

As a trade-off, their agility is ridiculously poor.

Moreover, their three skills are almost all physical output skills: two single-target skills and one area-of-effect skill, War Stomp.

None of these had much killing power against small-sized flying Troops like Beedrills.

The most effective counter to these Beedrills should have been the Bronze Dragons.

They possessed super mobility, and their Dragon Breath was also an area-of-effect attack, capable of killing Beedrills in swathes.

However, because of this fool Phili's eagerness for quick success, the only means to counter this swarm of Beedrills was destroyed prematurely.

How could this not enrage Gerard?

At this moment, Gerard even wished he could cleave Phili in two with a single strike.

Because, amidst the Beedrills' encirclement, the first Gray Giant had already fallen.

And after half a day of effort, it had only managed to kill a hundred Beedrills.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Gerard roared repeatedly in his heart, his heart bleeding with pain.

But now he had no way out; even knowing that there was a high probability of total annihilation here, he could only bite the bullet and press on.

Deserting in battle would have more terrible consequences than dying in battle; it would severely diminish the respect of the important figures within the alliance for him, and the resources he would receive later would naturally be halved.

As for dying here, although it would render a month of his efforts fruitless, the problem would not be with him.

It was due to incomplete intelligence and Phili's recklessness that this punitive action failed.

Thinking of this, a scepter symbolizing authority appeared in Gerard's hand; he raised it overhead and shouted, "Charge! Charge at all costs!"

Boom!

The torrent-like Troops charged madly, gradually closing the distance to Li Feng's city.

Because more than half of the Beedrills were entangled with the Gray Giant, a large amount of open ground was exposed, allowing the alliance's Troop army to rush forward.

Time passed bit by bit.

An army of hundreds of thousands simply could not be stopped by a mere four legendary arrow towers.

Ten minutes later, this alliance Troop army had reached the city walls and began to frantically attack the walls and gates.

On the city walls, all the arrow towers were attacking madly.

Dragon Breaths, purple lightning, explosive fireballs, and a sky full of arrow rain fell upon the alliance army.

Every moment, Troops were dying.

But against the massive alliance army, this amount of death was simply not enough.

More importantly, Troops have no intelligence; they are biological weapons created by the World Will.

As long as the lord gives the order, they will not even frown, even if they know they are going to die.

Otherwise, the alliance army, with over half its casualties, would have been enough to collapse an army composed of intelligent races.

Instead of, as now, still charging and besieging the city fearlessly.

"Kill!"

Following Li Feng's command.

Many ranged Troops, already poised for action, attacked.

Seven-colored arrow rain, flame rays, and fireballs poured down from above the city walls as if they were free.

Among them, although the Seven-Colored Star Ladybugs were the fewest in number, their high attack speed, high attack power, and area-of-effect skills meant their enemy-killing efficiency was far higher than the other two types of ranged Troops.

Below the city walls, Troop corpses piled up one after another, even forming small mountains.

The killing speed was too fast; the refresh rate of the corpses simply couldn't keep up with the death rate of these Troops.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

Bursts of explosions rang out among the alliance army.

Above the city walls, Buzzwoles continuously threw corpses down at the army below, which were then detonated by the Corpse Explosion Bugs hiding on their shoulders.

This terrifying, meat-grinder-like battlefield was the perfect moment for the Corpse Explosion Bugs to unleash their full power.

Their monster-killing efficiency was second only to the Seven-Colored Star Ladybugs, and even seemed to be catching up...
