At an outpost on the outskirts of E City, forces from two bacterial colonies are clashing.
One side had strikingly purple skin, while the other side was dressed like terracotta warriors, clearly indicating a battle between fungal swarms from Sinian and Slaanesh.
The battle between the two sides is now in full swing. The Slaanesh cultists have been completely surrounded by the Clarist soldiers, and the Slaanesh's outer shield guards are struggling to hold on.
Their shields were tightly wrapped around them, clearly indicating that they had completely given up on breaking through.
If this continues, they could easily be worn down, making one seriously question whether their commander is out of his mind.
They are now surrounded by two types of Jade Warriors: shield-wielding Jade Warriors are engaged in close combat with Slaanesh's shield guards, while halberd-wielding Jade Warriors are desperately breaking through their shields from behind.
Further afield, musketeers and celestial crossbowmen were arrayed, their aimed fire having little effect on the formidable shield wall.
However, judging from the situation on the field, the defeat of the Slaanesh cultists was only a matter of time.
Everyone thought so, but a miracle happened!
The surrounded Slaanesh shield guards suddenly lowered their shields, releasing a large amount of purple smoke from the heavily protected center of the formation.
They spread outwards as if they were tangible, quickly enveloping the surrounding jade warriors.
As the smoke rose, the commander on the Zhen Dan side felt a sense of foreboding.
Just then, as the smoke continued to spread toward the ranged positions, he made a decision to order the ranged units to retreat.
This smoke must be strange; we can't let ranged units take the risk.
His guess seemed to be confirmed; every Yu Yong who inhaled the smoke was somewhat dazed and unable to respond to the commander's call again.
The flag bearers' hands were numb from waving, and they still couldn't get the flag bearers moving.
What they didn't know was that Yu Yong now had to make a judgment, and if he failed, they would become puppets.
This is the Slaanesh commander's killer move, causing widespread surrender.
However, this kind of smoke cannot be generated easily; it requires a lot of preparation time and consumes some rare materials.
"To be able to induce such a large-scale surrender, there must be a divine sorcerer within the camp," the commander of Zhen Dan thought.
No wonder they adopted a defensive posture; it turns out they wanted to induce their troops to surrender as much as possible.
We were careless; Slaanesh's methods of luring people into submission are hard to guard against.
The situation has changed. The guards are no longer in command, so he has deployed the reserve melee troops into the battle. He had originally planned to keep them as a backup, but now they come in handy.
If we cannot leave this Slaanesh commander here, we must report it immediately, otherwise the losses will be too great for us to bear.
Before he could even sort out his thoughts, the reserve force he had thrown into battle was already engaged in combat with the Yu Yong who had been lured into surrendering. It seemed that the Yu Yong had been successfully lured into surrendering.
The commander of Zhen Dan was heartbroken; his fine young men had so easily changed hands.
That wasn't the end of it. As if he hadn't had enough trouble to avoid, a wave of purple waves suddenly descended from the sky—the flying units, the Slaanesh Wraiths.
Judging from their direction, their targets were the same: the group of ranged units that had been forced to retreat. Now, without melee cover, they were exposed to the sight of the flying units.
Seeing the raging demon suddenly disrupt things, the positions of the dragon crossbowmen and musketeers were also harassed, and the commander was extremely busy.
Unfortunately, before he could spare any extra men to deal with it, some Slaanesh cavalry appeared on the right.
At the same time, several alluring figures had already taken advantage of the chaos to move quickly to his side.
Those were succubi and Slaanesh warriors, possessing extremely high attack power and movement speed; they were the backbone of the Slaanesh forces.
Upon seeing them approach, the commander's personal guards immediately stepped forward to stop them.
Unfortunately, the disparity in strength was too great. Their strange weapons swept past, and the commander's personal guards were no match for them, being defeated one by one.
The cavalry arrived at this time and, together with the angry demons, turned the ranged positions on the field upside down.
Seeing that there was no way to turn the tide, the commander killed one of Slaanesh's vanguards, but was then tackled to the ground by the other vanguards and soon died in the line of duty.
As the Chinese soldiers who had been lured into surrender turned against them, the situation was reversed, and the outpost was completely occupied by the Slaanesh.
After the battle ended, the commander, known as the Divine Master of Mystic Arts, slowly emerged from the crowd.
If Liu Nian were present, she would have discovered that she was actually the woman who corrupted Meng Ziyi.
“My Lord, look over there,” the succubus maid said, pointing in a direction.
Looking in the direction of the finger, a plume of purple smoke was rising into the sky, and the smoke was coming from the direction of Hammerfall.
"Interesting. There are actually capable people in Zhen Dan. Let's go take a look!" The woman, known as the Goddess, said slowly, looking in the direction from which the smoke was rising.
Behind her, a large number of Slaanesh troops were gathering, and it was unknown how this would affect the battle situation on Liu Nian's side.
...
At this moment, Liu Nian was unaware that the outposts along the way had been eliminated by Slaanesh, and he was still immersed in the exhilarating feeling of killing monsters.
He was somewhat surprised by the scale of the Slaanesh cultists, and he secretly guessed that the entire Hammerfall must have been corrupted to have led to this situation.
Otherwise, there's no way to explain why there are so many low-ranking Slaanesh troops.
Although Liu Nian didn't understand their troop structure, he had some knowledge of it after fighting for so long.
These Slaanesh Raiders are clearly the lowest tier of the force, only slightly stronger than skeleton warriors and zombies.
The battle situation has changed again. He is wary of the hidden luring units, so he sends out Black Knights and Dread Knights to attack shops with ranged units.
Liu Nian had his own reasons for not assigning the evil spirits.
The evil spirits belong to the hellish troops and cannot be resurrected by the Spirit Gathering Technique. It is uncertain whether they are susceptible to being lured into submission, so Liu Nian left them behind.
The Dread Knight and the Dark Knight can be resurrected by the Spirit Gathering Technique and are immune to mind magic, so they are the ones to take on the attack.
As for the mixed forces downstairs, they are currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Slaanesh raiders.
Liu Nian occasionally used the Spirit Gathering Technique to replenish the lost troops, and was able to fight them on equal terms.
As long as the ragtag group on the first floor can guard the entrance, Liu Nian doesn't need to worry about his safety being threatened.
With those ranged units eliminated, Liu Nian can rest easy. Now it's just a matter of who can break through the other's defenses first.
Unfortunately, while the Dread Knight is very powerful, it is not suitable for fighting inside buildings and can only clear out raiders on the streets.
After the flying units drove away the Angry Demons, air superiority was secured, and Lamassu began to take on the task of dividing the enemy forces.
The situation gradually turned in Liu Nian's favor. The number of looters decreased, and although they remained fearless, the ragtag troops on the first floor began to take to the streets and divide the battle.
Just then, a scream came from Lamasu, one of the outer detachment troops.
Looking out the window, Liu Nian saw a group of strangely shaped purple cavalrymen surrounding the lone Lamas.
reinforce?
Upon seeing this, Liu Nian's expression turned serious.
