Before long, the vibrations grew closer and closer.
A group of towering monsters burst forth from the mist on the opposite side.
They charged straight down from the high ground, indiscriminately, without distinguishing between friend and foe.
At that time, the rotting zombies and the ghoul army were locked in fierce combat.
Due to the huge size difference, the summoned creatures and rotting zombies fighting by the pool were caught off guard and knocked down one after another, with some unlucky ones being knocked directly into the pool.
The moment they fell into the water, countless aquatic plants rose from the bottom of the pool, trapping the intruders firmly in the water. Then, the aquatic plants seemed to be alive, constantly dragging the prey towards the bottom of the pool.
The struggling rotting zombies and ghouls stirred up the water, but to no avail. After countless bubbles rose to the surface, the pool quickly returned to its clear state. The aquatic plants at the bottom of the pool swayed inadvertently with the ripples, revealing the remains of many creatures at the bottom.
However, Liu Nian didn't have time to observe this, as the giant object, more than three meters tall, had already charged into the shield wall formed by the skeleton warriors.
They rampaged through the shield wall like bulldozers, knocking down any skeleton warriors that got close.
As they drew closer, Liu Nian had no choice but to summon the Black Warrior and the zombies.
Otherwise, given my physique, I probably wouldn't be able to withstand more than a few of their impacts.
Ultimately, the five swamp wobbleers were stopped by the combined efforts of the Black Warrior and the zombies, thanks to the earlier contributions of the skeleton warriors, who had slowed down the enemy to a limited extent.
Seizing the opportunity, Liu Nian quickly used the Mass Slowing Technique.
We must not allow them to collide again, or the consequences will be unimaginable.
The five swamp staggers here were surrounded by skeleton warriors and black knights.
The remaining rotting zombies and ghoul legion members continued to fight each other.
Just as the situation was beginning to clear up again, before Liu Nian could even breathe a sigh of relief, a group of mage units appeared on the archers' high ground.
They were too far away to see clearly, but they were all covered in tattered black magic robes, and there were still more than a dozen of them.
The group slowdown also affected them, slowing down their assembly speed slightly.
However, after their arrival, many summoned skeleton warriors quickly appeared and swarmed towards the ghoul army on the high ground.
In the blink of an eye, the evenly matched situation was broken, and the ghoul army was divided and surrounded by the extra skeleton warriors.
There was no way to rescue the ghouls for the time being, so Liu Nian thought helplessly as he looked at the ghouls surrounded.
Take time to gather information on those struggling in the quagmire; knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory.
[Mudstaff] (Level 26 Wood Attribute Elite Unit)
The levels are too different; the rest are all question marks.
Their bodies are made up of many vines or roots of varying sizes, forming a human face in the center of the vines, making them appear to be humanoid creatures.
Undoubtedly, their power is immense. Skeleton warriors were repeatedly knocked away, either falling into the water or being smashed into the ranged formation, disrupting their output environment.
Fortunately, the cave demons' constant silk-spitting attacks controlled the formation, preventing them from further disrupting it.
Nearby, staggering minions, like bulldozers, were disrupting the formation, while in the distance, shadow arrows and bolts were constantly falling.
The ghoul army that crossed the pool was also trapped by summoned skeleton warriors and rotting zombies.
The double blow made Liu Nian feel a bit uncomfortable.
Now Liu Nian can only clearly sense that there is no threat behind him, since he has cleared the surrounding area.
He sent out the raven to scout from another direction to make sure no other units entered the field, as he didn't have any extra units to control other monsters.
The multi-front battles left him somewhat overwhelmed, so he had no choice but to entrust his only flying unit, the vampire, with a crucial task: to fly over the pool on the side lane and harass the archers there.
Ranged units are always the priority targets for elimination, but now it's not possible to eliminate them first; we can only harass them.
If you have some ghost units, you'll have a better chance of winning this battle.
It is only thanks to the slowing effect that the situation has not deteriorated further.
The stagger was trapped in Liu Nian's mixed forces, unable to break free or charge again, which was good news for Liu Nian.
The skeleton archers and mages around Liu Nian were not afraid of the archers on the other side. They had ranged damage reduction and dark attribute damage reduction. Relying on their numerical advantage, they were able to exchange fire with the enemy.
As for Liu Nian, he has a magical shield, so even if he is occasionally hit, it will not be a big deal.
Despite their high ground advantage, their limited field of vision also prevents them from focusing fire on specific units.
The demon children were finally able to make some use of themselves. They absorbed some mana from the opposing mage units and transferred it to Liu Nian before being shot down by a hail of arrows and fleeing in panic.
Without ranged damage reduction, archers still lose health very quickly when they hit them.
However, this also provided Liu Nian with another idea. After the Demon Child was shot, there were corpses left behind, and then a new Demon Child could be summoned to the field, which could absorb the opponent's magic points again. With Liu Nian's current magic points, he could start an infinite nesting mode. Moreover, the Demon Child would also replenish Liu Nian's magic points.
The fanged ghoul army was finally wiped out by the combined forces of the opposing side. Liu Nian did not rush to summon them, but waited for them to take the initiative to attack this way.
The demonic child in the center of the pool was enticing them to attack. Sure enough, perhaps because the situation was in their favor, the rotting zombies abandoned their conservative defensive mode and began to move slowly towards the flat ground in the center of the pool.
The speed chain actually helped them a lot at this point, because the skeleton warriors were summoned after the mass slow spell and were not slowed down.
They prioritized crossing the flat ground, and after dealing with the demon child, they advanced towards Liu Nian. Meanwhile, the rotting zombies, having lost their target, began to retreat to the high ground to guard it.
The demon child's corpse was thus wasted, and no one was hit by the explosion.
As expected, scheming too much leads to losing sight of one's original intentions; spending all day hunting eagles only to have one's eyes pecked by sparrows in the end.
On one hand, Liu Nian had to send out skeleton warriors to deal with the enemy skeleton warriors crossing the river, and on the other hand, he had to start summoning demon children and ghouls to make up for the losses of his troops.
Ten seconds on the battlefield felt like half a year, and in the end, Liu Nian had no choice but to prioritize summoning the ghoul army.
Fortunately, medium-sized ghouls can be summoned again even if they are killed, so the losses are not too great.
After being summoned three times in a row, the ghouls rejoined the battle.
The rotting zombies remained unmoved, guarding the high ground on the opposite side. Liu Nian did not choose to split his forces but instead planned to prioritize eliminating the melee units that had crossed the river.
The situation is ever-changing, and the rules are a double-edged sword. Everyone can only use the rules to their maximum advantage.
The situation seemed to have turned in Liu Nian's favor again. A new wave of demon children was summoned, and the ten demon children began to squeeze the necromancer's meager mana.
They'll all be emptied eventually. Liu Nian looked at the demon child who had been shot down by the archers on the other side and began a new round of summoning.
As time slowly passed, the ranged units on the opposite high ground were finally forced to rush down and attack this side.
Their mages were drained of mana, their archers had no more arrows, and the rotting zombies mingled together, moving in a vast and mighty procession toward the plains.
Looking at the mountain of demonic children's corpses piled up in the center of the flat ground, Liu Nian revealed a sinister smile.
