That being said, the bombardment of the magic crystal bombs was still quite effective, with a large number of Dark Nightmares turning to ashes and leaving behind a ground full of magic crystals and dark treasure chests.
It may seem like a piece of the plain was blasted away, but in reality, not many Dark Nightmares were actually killed. I roughly estimated that there were only a few hundred. Based on their trading prices, they barely broke even and only made a profit from the Dark Treasure Chest.
Of course, this is on the premise that they have the ability to retrieve those dark treasure chests.
As the magic crystal bombs bombarded the plains, the gaps that appeared were quickly filled by the rampaging Dark Nightmares. Chris and his team only managed to retrieve two-thirds of the magic crystals, and even less than half of the Dark Treasure Chest.
"See? These idiots! The firepower will slow down from here on out. Slower firepower means it will be harder to collect magic crystals and dark treasure chests. This is a huge loss!" Ye Chen shook his head and said with exasperation.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the speed at which the Lord's Clan in the projection used magic crystal bombs to bombard the area slowed down, and they were only throwing out dozens of bombs at a time.
Such a bombing frequency can only slow down the Dark Nightmare's attack speed; there is basically no hope of rushing in to seize the magic crystals and dark treasure chests.
The opposing lord had obviously noticed this situation as well, and finally gave an order, and several of the prodigy lords made their move.
The fastest are the Void Elves, a group of elves who walk in the void. Their understanding of spatial magic rivals that of the Protoss and far surpasses that of ordinary elves.
They traversed the void directly and arrived on the plains. Then, spatial rifts appeared, sending the Dark Nightmares back to the rear. The retinues of the other lords around them sprang into action, quickly picking up the magic crystals and dark treasure chests on the ground.
Following behind the Void Elves were the valiant Behemoths and Ancient Trolls, both of whom were typical melee units with immense physical strength, capable of even fighting dragons with their bare hands.
The two races charged into the plains like heavy tanks, seemingly making a great show of force, but in reality, it was completely useless. Physical attacks had very limited effect on the Dark Nightmare, a semi-ghost-like creature, and were even less effective than the impact of their vigorous life force.
"Roar~~~" Finally, a giant dragon soared in the sky, flapping its wings and unleashing a roaring dragon breath.
The breath of dozens of dragons lashed out, causing the ground to tremble. Although it did not effectively damage the Dark Nightmare, the enormous impact successfully halted their advance, giving other members of the race time and opportunity to collect the magic crystals.
"With the dragons mobilized, this is basically the end of the matter!" Ye Chen said, looking at the projection. The Tier 3 magic crystal bombs had been almost exhausted, and the remaining time was simply to use high-level familiars to buy time and reap the rewards.
"If that's the case, they've really lost out in this battle!" Jian Mengyi said. The thousands of Tier 3 magic crystals they obtained didn't actually kill thousands of Dark Nightmares, and the Tier 4 magic crystals they got were far less than a thousand. If they can't get anything of value from the Dark Treasure Chest, then this wave can be considered a huge loss.
"They haven't contacted Fatty again, it seems they're not planning to launch a full-scale attack!" Ye Chen said after contacting Fatty for a while.
"So, what about us? Should we make a move?"
"Let's wait a bit! We'll talk about it after they leave. They've been thwarted here, so they'll definitely be looking for other solutions. They won't be back for at least a short time, so once they're gone, that'll be our chance," Ye Chen said, shaking his head.
With so many powerful and talented lords surrounding them, a rash attack might just benefit others; they should wait for them to leave first.
"By the way, did you find the Silvermoon Elves when you sent them to scout out the territories of these lords? How far is the area? Will they be able to sense us if we make a move?" Ye Chen asked.
“The distance is over a hundred kilometers. As for sensing, I’m not sure how wide your three-legged golden crow’s solar radiation range is,” Jian Mengyi replied. Confirming the enemy’s location was something that had been going on from the beginning, and at the same time, it was also necessary to hide the location of her own territory.
"Hundreds of kilometers? That's really timid. But it gives us an opportunity. As for the three-legged golden crow, that range is controllable, so there's no need to worry!" Ye Chen said with a smile.
As the two were talking, the battle situation on the projection finally changed.
The magic crystals and dark treasure chests on the ground had been mostly collected, and many of the familiars began to retreat under the cover of the dragons and void elves. The powerful Behemoths and ancient trolls could only launch futile attacks into the air, trying to intimidate the group of dark nightmares.
With the Void Elves and dragons covering their retreat, the group of Void Elves evacuated quickly, disappearing into the darkness in no time. As the last Void Elves departed, the plain finally returned to calm after a series of strange cries.
"Notify Ye Xi and the others that we can set off now. Move quickly and finish this quickly!" Ye Chen said to a Silver Moon Elf beside him.
Ye Xi and the others had already prepared outside the territory, and Jian Mengyi's angel army was also in position. This time, the two of them had mobilized most of their kin, determined to take over this plain.
"Chirp~~~" The blazing sun hangs high in the sky, the golden crows emerge, and angels illuminate the earth. As far as the eye can see, there is a bright expanse, and the momentum is no less than that of the giant dragons before.
Most importantly, the three-legged golden crow and the angel brought light back to this land.
"Five thousand magic crystal bombs, plus the three-legged golden crow and the angel, should be enough to take down this group of dark nightmares, right?" Jian Mengyi murmured uncertainly as she looked at the procession.
"Don't worry, although the Dark Nightmare is strong, its weaknesses are also obvious. As long as we find a way, it won't be too difficult to deal with. Besides, with five thousand magic crystal bombs, our firepower is much more abundant than Chris's!" Ye Chen had good hearing and immediately comforted Jian Mengyi after hearing her words.
"That's true!" Hearing this, Jian Mengyi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with a relaxed expression.
"Compared to that, I'm more curious about what kind of expression Chris and his men would have if they had come back fully prepared to take over this plain, only to find it had already been razed to the ground?" Ye Chen said with amusement.
Jian Mengyi was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
"Hehehe, they're probably going to regret it to death, aren't they?"
