The military forces of the United States, Japan, India, and South Korea suddenly launched an attack.
The scale of their formation is so large that we must be on guard.
Guo Jing and Wang Zhenguo were helpless.
They had no choice but to send out troops and prepare for defense.
This time, Su Bai will once again face off against a powerful local force all by himself.
...
...
Barren desert.
"Stormwind's vanguard, attack!"
General Lothar sat in the center of the army, mounted on a white horse, his holy sword pointing forward, his voice cold and sharp.
Following the direction the sword was pointing.
The vanguard unit, where the front line was located, launched an attack.
A human swordsman clad in armor.
A human knight riding a warhorse.
A werewolf warrior with bloodshot eyes.
A dwarf musketeer wielding a musket.
An elven mage holding his staff aloft.
More than 400,000 people launched an attack together.
In the sky, over 100,000 dwarven griffin riders launched a coordinated attack.
Behind them, goblin artillerymen formed a battle formation to provide long-range artillery support.
"Swarm, prepare for battle!"
Su Bai sat atop the Thunder Beast, his deep eyes slightly narrowed, yet still unable to conceal their sharpness.
Hundreds of thousands of springtails, hydralisks, cockroaches, exploding insects, and alien dragons roared and charged forward.
The destroyer fired flaming projectiles, each sixty centimeters in diameter, from a spiral-shaped nozzle on its back.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Bang bang bang!"
High in the sky, the flaming shells collided with the shells fired by the goblin soldiers.
A series of loud explosions rang out.
This caused a series of violent explosions.
Like fireworks exploding, it was exceptionally dazzling.
On the ground, the two sides launched an attack.
They surge forward towards each other.
It is magnificent and powerful, like a surging river, with a tremendous momentum.
Ten seconds later.
The insect swarm clashed with the Stormwind vanguard.
In an instant, people surged forward like a tide, and horses collapsed like a mountain.
The blood of soldiers from various ethnic groups flowed onto the ground.
Soldiers rushing up from behind stepped on it, leaving a trail of bloody marks behind them as they charged forward.
The war was unprecedentedly brutal.
In the very first clash, tens of thousands of insect soldiers and Stormwind soldiers died.
"Holy Light! Blessings!"
The paladin legion, positioned within the Stormwind army, raised their holy hammers high and chanted obscure incantations.
Thousands of holy lights broke through the clouds and descended upon the earth.
On the battlefield, the Stormwind vanguard, enveloped in holy light, had their wounds healed instantly.
His own momentum rose steadily, and his combat power increased dramatically.
The 500,000 insect soldiers that had charged out were immediately put at a disadvantage, completely suppressed, and forced to retreat step by step.
"As expected of the most elite local force, their combat power is indeed formidable!"
Su Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, his deep pupils gleaming with a faint light.
A large-scale battle involving millions of people is different from a small-scale battle involving tens or hundreds of thousands of people.
Sending the entire army into the fray would be a very foolish move.
Firstly, the sheer size of the troops made them difficult to command.
Rushing in all at once would be quite chaotic.
Secondly, the battlefield terrain limited their deployment options.
If they were all piled up together, they would only be vulnerable to being attacked and blown to ashes by enemy artillery.
In large-scale battles at this level, while the combat effectiveness of the troops is certainly important, the decisions made by the commanders also play a crucial role.
It could even influence the course of a normal war.
Furthermore, it is not advisable to send out all the exploding insects to attack at the very beginning of the war.
Many powerful units in the Stormwind army, such as paladins, dragonhawk riders, hippogryphs, and mountain giants, have not yet been deployed.
If so, send out all the Bombs.
It is certainly possible to wipe out the enemy's vanguard.
However, when these powerful enemy units subsequently charged out, dealing with them became quite difficult.
"I never imagined that the Stormwind army's overall combat strength would be so outstanding!" An Ruoyun's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. "In particular, the Holy Light Blessing of the Paladins provides a tremendous boost to the Stormwind soldiers!"
"Lord, should we send more Zerg troops?" Zhao Ganwu asked, his expression slightly grim.
Su Bai slowly shook his head.
He slightly raised his eyes, his gaze clear and steady:
"The Stormwind army has come from afar!"
"In the first battle, the enemy commander, Lothar, will surely be aiming to establish his authority and achieve a resounding victory!"
"Observing the enemy's battle formation, it is well-ordered, perfectly natural, and subtly in line with the way of killing."
"If our army rashly launches a full-scale offensive, we may suffer a major defeat."
Zhao Ganwu nodded, deeply agreeing: "That's absolutely right!"
He thought for a moment, then said:
"The enemy is at its strongest. We can order the insect swarm to retreat twenty miles, hold their ground, and avoid their advance."
"Simply order the Hydralisks and Destroyers to launch ranged attacks to suppress the enemy's flanks."
"Wait until after noon, when the enemy is exhausted and their horses are weary, then engage them in battle."
Su Bai nodded slightly in agreement.
"This plan is brilliant!"
"Kerrigan, pass down the order: the Zerg swarm must retreat twenty miles."
"Wait until the enemy's strength is slightly weakened before devising a plan to defeat them."
Soon, under Kerrigan's command, the Zerg forces in the center of the battlefield began to retreat.
Because they are fighting on a creep-covered surface, the movement speed of the insect soldiers is increased accordingly.
Therefore, they soon broke off contact with the enemy.
The swarm began to retreat.
The Stormwind soldiers cheered with excitement, a hint of joy in their eyes.
"The enemy began to retreat the moment we made contact! We will be the ultimate victors in this war!"
"Long live Stormwind! Long live King Llane! Long live General Lothar!"
"A resounding victory in our first battle! Let Stormwind City be a force to be reckoned with!"
However, General Lothar, who was stationed in the central command, began to furrow his brow slightly.
He had assumed that Su Bai, the person opposite him, was arrogant and disdainful of others.
He will definitely lead the insectoid swarm and fight the Stormwind army to the very end.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the Paladin cast Holy Light Blessing, the Zerg swarm began a full retreat.
This gave General Lothar the feeling of having exerted all his strength but hitting cotton.
"General, we should launch a pursuit immediately while the enemy is in retreat!" the adjutant's voice rang in his ears.
General Lothar said, "Do not be arrogant! Order the vanguard to slow down and pursue them slowly!"
One million Stormwind vanguard troops launched an attack.
General Lothar's four million-strong central army, along with one million troops each from the left, right, and rear armies, remained in place, ready for battle.
...
...
Su Bai and Zhao Ganwu devised a plan to avoid direct confrontation and retreat temporarily.
Wait until the enemy's strength is slightly weakened before devising a plan to defeat them.
However, in the eyes of the lords of various countries, this strategy was seen as a sign that the insect swarm was no match for the Stormwind army.
The world chat channel was buzzing with excitement once again.
[Look! Su Bai's insect swarm has officially entered into battle with the Stormwind army!]
[Even the clash of the vanguard forces was so spectacular; it was incredibly exciting!]
The moment the two sides made contact, the insect swarm retreated twenty miles, immediately revealing the disparity in strength!
[Yosh! Even Stormwind's vanguard couldn't withstand it; Su Bai's swarm will surely be wiped out within a day!]
