"Yes, my lord!"
Kerrigan responded quickly.
The Destroyer's flaming cannonballs began to fire into the air.
The vast majority of the goblin cannonballs were successfully intercepted at high altitude.
Explosions erupted, and streaks of light filled the air.
It was countless times more spectacular than the most dazzling fireworks display.
"Lord, without the support of the Destroyer's Flame Cannons, the Stormwind army's offensive momentum will become even more intense."
Zhao Ganwu stared ahead, his voice slightly deep: "Should we deploy the exploding insects on the battlefield?"
"Now is not the time to use the exploding bugs!"
Su Bai shook his head.
He slightly raised his eyes, which were bright and piercing.
"This is just a probing attack by the enemy."
"Paladins, dragonhawk knights, hippogryphs, mountain giants—these powerful high-level units were not used at all."
"If we deploy the worms too early, we will undoubtedly expose our trump card, and we will become very passive afterwards."
Zhao Ganwu said, "But in that case, the casualties of the Zerg swarm will be greatly increased."
"The enemy's casualties will only be greater than ours!" Su Bai's eyes burned with determination. "For the final victory, we must hold on, hold on, and hold on some more!"
Time passed second by second.
An hour later.
The Stormwind vanguard ceased its attack and began to retreat.
"What!"
"Tens of thousands of soldiers have died or been wounded, yet they still haven't broken through the swarm's defenses?"
"Even if it's a probing attack, surely it shouldn't have failed to advance even a single kilometer?"
Looking at the former army commander who came to report, General Lothar frowned, somewhat incredulous.
Given the elite status of Stormwind's army, even without sending high-tier troops to attack, they could easily sweep through many local forces and human lords.
But who would have thought that today they would encounter setbacks in the face of the Zerg.
"Su Bai, what a cunning human!"
"His earlier order for the swarm to retreat was not out of cowardice or because he couldn't withstand our offensive."
"It's to avoid our peak momentum."
"This human is no ordinary person!"
General Lothar muttered to himself.
The chaplaincy began its work.
Healing wounded soldiers from the front lines of the war.
The insectoid forces and Stormwind's army stood in formation facing each other, their chilling aura reaching the heavens.
However, neither side used their full strength.
Therefore, a stalemate ensued.
Half an hour later.
"Dinner's ready!"
Su Bai remained calm.
Foods produced on the estate, such as steamed buns, corn, dried pork, braised beef, charcoal-roasted duck, and spicy roasted lamb leg, were sent to the front lines for everyone to enjoy.
As for the millions of insect soldiers, they devoured the nutrients produced by the Queen.
The Stormwind army on the opposite side also began to set up camp and cook their meals.
"My lord, why not take this opportunity to launch a surprise attack!" Zhao Ganwu's eyes lit up.
"Although the enemy was setting up camp and preparing food, they were doing so in an orderly manner without any chaos. This shows how strong General Lothar's ability to command troops is!"
Su Bai paused for a moment, then continued, "A raid on the camp at this time would certainly not succeed, and we would likely fall into General Lothar's trap."
At that moment, Kerrigan strode over.
"My lord, the monitoring eyeworms have sent back a message!"
"The enemy camp has ambushes on its left, right, and rear sides!"
Zhao Ganwu's eyes narrowed, and he exclaimed, "There really was an ambush! This General Losa is truly cunning!"
"All's fair in war! Whoever achieves final victory is the winner!" Although Su Bai was somewhat exhausted, his eyes were incredibly bright.
"History is written by the victors, and we must win this war!"
...
...
After noon, the sun was high in the sky.
The scorching sun beat down relentlessly on the earth, and the air felt as if it were being heated by a furnace.
Due to the genetic sequence of the Zerg, their soldiers possess exceptionally strong physical attributes.
Therefore, it also has high resistance to high temperatures.
But the Stormwind soldiers are different.
Their mouths were dry, and beads of sweat poured out like a fine rain.
"At this moment, the enemy's strength has weakened!"
"The Stormwind soldiers are exhausted and their horses are worn out; now is the perfect time for the Zerg swarm to launch a preemptive strike!"
"We also want to show the enemy the true ferocity of the Zerg swarm!"
Su Bai sat atop the Thunder Beast's head, his eyes radiating a powerful aura of majesty.
Hundreds of thousands of springtails, hydralisks, cockroaches, and alien dragons charged together at the enemy's vanguard.
Among them were tens of thousands of exploding insects.
Caught off guard, Stormwind's vanguard was forced to retreat in disarray.
The death toll is rising rapidly.
After a wave of attacks, a large number of enemy soldiers were killed.
But the swarm did not linger in the battle and quickly withdrew from the battlefield to return to the main force.
Damn it!
"Su Bai!"
Are you trying to intimidate me?
Looking at the devastated front camp, General Lothar pursed his lips, his killing intent palpable.
Despite his anger, he remained rational.
He did not rashly order his troops to launch an attack on the swarm.
One should press on with one effort, but the momentum will wane with each attempt, and eventually be exhausted with each subsequent one.
General Lothar understood this simple truth very well.
After two failed attacks, the soldiers' morale is no longer high.
If we rashly launch another attack, we are very likely to suffer an even greater defeat.
Therefore, General Losa made a decision.
The entire army will take a day off.
We will launch another attack tomorrow.
On the other side.
Su Bai, positioned within the Zerg swarm, saw that the enemy forces made no move and a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
"As expected, this move did not anger General Lothar!"
"Our attempt to lure Stormwind soldiers into launching an offensive has failed!"
Kerrigan comforted him, "My lord, don't be discouraged! At least this attack has yielded tens of thousands of kills!"
"It has to be said that fighting against local forces is quite difficult! Especially since the commander of this local force is so well-versed in military strategy!" Zhao Ganwu exclaimed.
When fighting ordinary monsters, they don't possess much intelligence.
Under the command of Su Bai, Zhao Ganwu, and others, they could achieve the greatest victory with the least cost by relying on strategy and tactics.
But the situation became instantly complicated when facing Stormwind.
This put a sense of pressure on both Su Bai and Zhao Ganwu.
For the remainder of the time, the two sides remained deadlocked and no battle broke out.
Before we knew it.
The sun sets.
The cold, frosty moonlight shone down.
Night has officially fallen.
Both sides' armies were on high alert.
Therefore, neither side launched a night raid on the camp.
...
...
Nothing was said that night.
The next day.
early morning.
As dawn broke, the eastern sky began to lighten, revealing a pale, fish-belly white hue.
"Waaah—"
The war horns suddenly sounded.
The drums beat loudly, and the warhorses neighed.
Stormwind's army launched a full-scale attack.
Apart from yesterday's troops.
Paladins, dragonhawk riders, hippogryphs, and mountain giants also joined the battle.
The army advanced, raising clouds of dust that surged and rolled in like a tidal wave.
"The real war has finally arrived today!"
Su Bai sat atop the Thunder Beast's head, his deep eyes slightly narrowed, surveying the entire battlefield.
