The other side moved; Liu Nian watched as the purple wave surged forward at full speed.
Closer, even closer!
The flying units were the first to engage in combat, with the Furious Demon and Liu Nian's flying units vying for air superiority in the sky.
This is important because whoever controls the air can launch airstrikes against the enemy's long-range units first.
Both sides realized this and began fighting each other without prior arrangement.
Since the number of Furious Demons far exceeded the number of flying units on Liu Nian's side, the cunning Ophelia launched an attack in two teams.
One team clashed with Liu Nian's flying units, while another team bypassed them and attacked the rooftop on Liu Nian's side, advancing simultaneously in coordination with the ground forces' attack.
"I'd like to see which one you want to attack first?" Ophelia raised her eyes slightly as she observed the situation on the field, seeing that the ground and air forces had begun their attack as she had anticipated.
She was standing on the second floor of a building, where the view was unobstructed and it could serve as a temporary command post.
The weaknesses of these mixed forces of skeleton warriors are too obvious. Her breakthrough point is right there. As long as the Angry Demon can entangle the ranged units in that direction, the Succubus on the ground can open a gap and then enter the building to eliminate the ranged units on the roof one by one.
Her plan was quite successful; she was halfway to achieving her goal.
Ranged units launched the first attack on the raging demons in the sky; their webs could trap their opponents once they hit them.
The angry demons, unable to dodge in time, flapped their wings and struggled, but to no avail. They screamed and fell from the sky.
Some of its companions tried to tear the spider web apart, but little did they know that the web's stickiness would stick them together. Their fragile wings could not bear the weight of the two angry demons, and they both fell into the street.
This scale of combat relies entirely on the spider webs of the cave-dwelling demons for damage output.
The good news is that the cave demons, which were originally supposed to support the mixed forces, were successfully disrupted by the Angry Demons.
Although it came at the cost of lives, it bought the succubus enough time to successfully break through the skeleton warriors' defenses.
They cut through everything like butter, the skeleton warriors were no match for them, and were all shredded by the lust demons.
After they entered the range of the spell, Liu Nian began chanting the incantation.
A series of debuff spells were cast, turning these glass cannons into rusty glass cannons.
Their advantage lies in high speed and high attack speed, but this advantage cannot be utilized in urban warfare. The slowing tactic reduces the pace of their attack.
At this moment, the cave-dwelling demons finally broke free from the entanglement of the wrathful demons and began to turn their attention to this group of lust demons plagued by malignant diseases.
Although Liu Nian's melee units were no match for the succubi, his ranged units were formidable and could effectively counter them.
Seeing that the succubus was slowing down, Ophelia knew that Liu Nian was behind it. With the help of the shield guards, she moved into the range of the enemy's ranged units and began to chant a damage spell.
Although the front-line succubi suffered heavy losses, they remained fearless and continued to slowly cut through Liu Nian's ragtag troops, clearing the way for the succubi behind them.
Once they break into the houses, it will be their domain, and they will make their money back with interest.
Just then, Ophelia finished her spell incantation and waved her hand, pointing towards the ranged unit on the roof.
A brilliant purple light filled the sky, blotting out the sun for a moment.
Liu Nian realized something was wrong and quickly cast a magical shield.
The other ranged units were not so lucky. The moment the shield opened, the purple light in the sky shattered like a mirror breaking and began to crash down on the cave demons below.
This spell is called Lingchi Blade, a wide-area destructive magic.
The magic shield rippled as it was struck by the purple light. Liu Nian was somewhat surprised to see the magic points plummeting like flowing water; the spellcaster's magic damage was truly high.
Fortunately, the shield was strong enough to hold out until the spell ended without breaking, but the ranged units on the rooftop were in a terrible state.
A large number of cave demons fell within the spell's range, and the skeleton mages and archers fared no better; the rooftop was so small that there was nowhere to hide.
Seeing this, Liu Nian disregarded the overall situation and began to use his spirit-gathering technique to pull people in.
Taking advantage of the moment when the ranged units were silenced, the succubus fiercely smashed the minions blocking its way and began to advance bravely, closing the distance by more than half a distance in an instant.
As they drew closer to the building where Liu Nian was, a cloud of green poisonous fog enveloped them, and the suffocating feeling made the enveloping lust demons very uncomfortable.
However, the ghoul shrouded in the poisonous fog was not only unharmed, but also took advantage of the lust demon's inability to attack, opening its mouth and biting down hard on its body. Its sharp teeth instantly tore off a piece of flesh, causing it to howl in pain.
Olivia saw the great lich on the building, the one that had caused the poisonous fog earlier, and immediately unleashed a Slaanesh Dance at Tiffany.
A purple light flashed across Tiffany's body, and she collapsed to her knees with a miserable cry, clearly having suffered considerable injury.
Then, seemingly going berserk, it began wielding its staff and attacking the surrounding ranged units.
Fortunately, its physical attack ability is average, dealing only minor damage, like a tickle. Aside from interrupting ranged unit attacks, it doesn't cause much damage.
Liu Nian's Spirit Gathering Technique was completed at this moment, and his mana points flowed away like a tide, while the killed units began to revive.
He poured a bottle of magic potion down her throat, then carried the still-mad Tiffany away from the edge of the rooftop. Another spell would be enough to kill her, and he didn't want to risk seeing her killed.
However, being able to directly attack Tiffany also exposed the opposing mage to Liu Nian's line of sight.
Ignoring Tiffany's staff strikes, the damage was so negligible that the mana shield didn't even ripple.
"Found you, that makes things easier." Looking at the second floor across the street, Liu Nian directed the flying unit Lamasu to snipe.
They weren't injured by the slow, agonizing blades just now. The enemy's raging demons have been mostly killed by our flying units, and the remaining raging demons are being chased by the vampire horde. We can send the rest of our flying units to harass the enemy's mages.
After receiving their orders, the Lamassus smashed the windowsill of the second floor across the street and rushed into the building.
Now, all that can be seen through the shattered wall is the massive body of Ramas, surrounded by Slaanesh cultists locked in combat with them.
The Slaanesh cultists all had purple skin, making it difficult to tell which one was the sorcerer at first glance.
The good news is that with Lamas's attack, the opponent doesn't have time to cast spells, giving Liu Nian a valuable window of opportunity.
However, this still cannot conceal the fact that Liu Nian's troops were in overall defeat.
Although the streets restricted the Slaanesh's offensive pace, allowing only a few succubi to launch attacks, the skeleton warriors and ghoul legions remained a weakness in the overall combat strength.
The mixed forces guarding the entrance had been defeated by the lust demons, and a large number of idle lust demons began to rush into the corridor.
Unable to contain their bloodlust any longer, they began to attack the rooftop, where there were plenty of ranged units to take down.
Unfortunately, they didn't get their way. Liu Nian was prepared for this. Some units that had been lying in wait for a long time were already lined up in the corridor, waiting for them to come.
