Only when the spiders responsible for spitting silk arrived did the still unsatisfied Darth Vader swagger back, stepping over the corpses of the large group of spiders.
Seeing the corpses of her kind lying all along the street, the Spider Queen began to hesitate.
Should we launch another attack?
It clearly remembered that the one-eyed, pitch-black mage opposite it could destroy corpses on the ground.
Countless children were destroyed by this evil magic.
This hesitation allowed Liu Nian's undead army to take down the two mutated spider bosses that had launched the initial attack.
In the end, all that remained at the intersection of the five streets was a street filled with the corpses of spiders.
Liu Nian looked at the street where only corpses remained, filled with confusion.
Why aren't they attacking?
Okay, I'm happy to be free if you don't come!
He decisively began picking up the cards that had fallen to the ground.
Of course, these are cards dropped by the boss; other cards don't offer much of an improvement to Liu Nian.
Whoever hits it picks it up; that's the unspoken rule.
This is the default rule when the strength is roughly equal.
Being weak is the original sin; whether or not to follow the rules depends entirely on the other party's mood.
I didn't look closely, nor did I send crows to pick it up. There were too many people around, and it wasn't as convenient as doing things alone.
Since you're not coming up, I'm not coming over either. Let's just stay here like this.
Looking at the empty street, Liu Nian turned to the two people beside him and said.
The lone spider boss was now surrounded by ranged attacks, its body riddled with arrows, looking extremely pitiful.
Having learned from their previous rash mistake, they did not send any remote spiders to assist in the attack.
It seems they are also afraid that Liu Nian will use the same trick again, due to the deterrent effect of the corpse explosion.
Even after defeating the lone boss, no spiders came to reinforce them, which puzzled Liu Nian.
His questions went unanswered because the spider itself was also facing internal divisions.
The heavy losses made the remaining spiders want to retreat, but they stood there, hesitant and undecided, intimidated by the Queen Spider's imposing presence.
However, they understood one thing: attacking was impossible; even the queen could not suppress the rebellion of the many spiders.
Finally, under the roar of the queen spider, the many spiders reluctantly continued to fight, but they deliberately avoided the street where Liu Nian was.
After being hit by the rain book, the number of children dropped drastically.
The Queen stared intently at the street where Liu Nian was, but there was nothing she could do.
I'm starting to hesitate about whether to retreat.
It was still somewhat unconvinced and sent out spider guards to keep an eye on that street.
As long as that wretched mage doesn't come to attack, I'll just turn a blind eye.
This is why the two streets Liu Nian was defending were deserted.
The battle was not over, but for Liu Nian, it was over.
Seeing the fierce battles raging in other directions while his own area was deserted, he felt a little out of place for a while.
I originally wanted to use a summoning spell to recruit the mutated spider boss, but the system rejected it because the battle was not over.
Liu Nian was not surprised at all. It was just a casual move, and if it really worked, he could strengthen it again.
Liu Nian relaxed, but others suffered.
Originally, they should have had a slight advantage in the battle against the elite spider units.
The relaxed rhythm has now been disrupted, and the spider boss has begun to replace the elite spiders in attacking the melee fighters in front of it.
Skeletons don't feel pain, but humans do.
A melee class member, caught off guard, was bitten by the mutated boss and lost half his health. If the healer hadn't been paying close attention, the next attack would have finished him off.
The melee class, who had narrowly escaped death, decisively withdrew from the battle and returned to the center of the plaza to recover their health.
But not everyone is so lucky. Melee fighters who weren't taken care of by healers were killed by the boss while screaming in agony, causing Liu Nian's shrine to gather starlight once again.
There's a particular boss spider that can actually lay down a swarm of small spiders that self-destruct.
Those spiders are small and fast; if you're not careful and let them rush into your melee formation, it will be a disaster.
The street-level members, who were targeted by the boss spider, suffered heavy casualties, with nearly half of the melee classes unable to join the subsequent battles.
Upon hearing the explosion, Liu Nian knew something was wrong. Although he was anxious, he had no way to evacuate.
Spiders were still present in the streets he was stationed on. They moved much faster than the skeletons, so he couldn't rashly move the skeleton warriors away.
If they use a feint to attack while Liu Nian is distracting the skeletons, then even Liu Nian will not be able to regain control of the district in a short time.
It's important to understand that assembling into a formation takes time. If the speed chain can't keep up, it might be okay for defense and counter-attacks, but it will wear you down if you try to play guerrilla warfare!
It's because the undead army generally has short legs.
Liu Nian was dragged here by the spider and couldn't move. He could only listen to his companion's screams without hearing them.
Fortunately, the commanders who could lead large groups were all capable, and they quickly organized a defense and suppressed the number of casualties.
The differences between the two sides are so obvious that it makes one wonder if they are fighting the same battle.
While skeleton warriors cannot move, the ranged skeleton army is not included in this category.
He directed the ranged shooters to move towards the nearest street corner.
Unable to see clearly what was happening on the other streets, Liu Nian signaled to the flag bearers to let them fire freely.
The sudden arrival of strong external support greatly reduced the pressure on the members on the nearby streets.
The spiders in the back row turned their guns and exchanged fire with the skeleton army. How could they be a match for the skeleton army? The spider webs covering the ranged units had no effect on them, and they didn't need to move around.
Soon the spider swarm was at a disadvantage in the exchange of fire, and after they were eliminated, the melee classes on the street finally had a chance to catch their breath.
With the pressure on the main street greatly reduced, manpower could be freed up to alleviate the pressure on other street corners, and the snowball effect grew bigger and bigger as Liu Nian did so.
He had no idea how profound an impact his casual act would have on the spider colony.
Meanwhile, the spider army grew increasingly dissatisfied with the queen's approach, not only failing to break through her defenses after a prolonged siege but also losing so many spider children.
It should be noted that they had been recuperating for more than half a month to reach their current state. After today's battle, the troops suffered heavy losses and will not be able to recover in a short period of time.
But the Queen Spider clearly didn't think that way. Rage consumed her, and in her bloodlust, she couldn't face this defeat.
Ultimately, the ordinary spiders succumbed to fear and began to flee, and even the queen's roar could not sway them.
After trampling several spiders that tried to escape, the once elite spiders also joined the fleeing ranks.
No matter how powerful it is, it is still an individual entity, and it cannot stop the collective collapse.
Even the rarer and more numerous mutated spider boss seemed to have rebelled, turning around and disappearing from the Queen's sight.
The queen roared, all because of that short human.
She screamed and led her few remaining supporters in a final assault.
A small but exceptionally elite group of spider warriors, led by the queen, launched an attack, their target being the street where Liu Nian was located.
At this moment, Liu Nian had gained nothing from the spiders' behavior and, bored out of his mind, secretly took out his "Intimate Paradise" app and leisurely read it.
Little did he know that the Queen was gradually approaching him.
