Chapter 446 Chapter 445. Rendezvous
Sigismund: "Left flank, switch from mountain formation to open formation, retreat in echelons! All archers, immediately take Eagle Eye Potion and Power Extract, and pin those rolling fungal balls to the ground!"
Louisa: "Here, here, and here! Split the self-destructing pukei into three waves, rolling back and forth, bluffing but keeping your distance to draw their ranged fire! The heavily armored pukei in front, now's the time! Charge in at all costs and tear open that gap that's being created!"
Lin Jun: I moved the turret a little to the left, out of the enemy's shooting range.
With the addition of the pig, Sigismund felt the pressure increase. Although the opponent's command was a little immature in some places, it showed amazing battlefield intuition and could always accurately seize the moment when he changed formations to launch a surprise attack!
This feeling of being completely seen through made him feel as if he were facing off against his old rival, Alama, forcing him to issue a continuous stream of commands in response.
Meanwhile, Louisa, while excited, also deeply felt the terrifying command skills of Sigismund.
She had many advantages provided by her boss, while the opponent was still able to command on multiple fronts and hold the line even when their main force was tied up by the Storm Elemental.
If it were a fair competition, I would probably have been defeated long ago.
However, war is never fair!
According to her calculations, if she could hold out for another ten minutes and engage in two rounds of fierce combat, she was confident that she could tear an irreparable gap in the opponent's defense.
With our leader backing us up, there's no reason we should lose this battle!
"Little pig, I'm going to lower the number of Puji."
"Huh?"
...
There's no other way; we can't just keep lowering the price and play our cards right from the start, can we?
Ultimately, I'm not here to mess with Xiao Xi; I only have one goal—the Sunstone!
As a calm and collected individual, he would never stray from his original intention due to momentary impulse.
Moreover, the Storm Elemental Spirit won't be able to hold out for much longer.
On the battlefield, a storm elemental spirit had just electrocuted a panicked half-vampire into a charred corpse when it suddenly exploded without warning, the powerful shockwave sending surrounding demons and their kind flying.
This is not an isolated case; more and more elemental spirits are beginning to disintegrate one after another.
They are not adapted to the external environment, and if they are separated from the elemental disorder zone for too long, they will be killed by the external environment.
In the distance, beneath a heavily armored mushroom hat, a pair of emerald eyes peeked out, taking in everything.
Inanna always felt a little sorry for these elemental spirits who were close to her.
Lin Jun felt that these storm elemental spirits were just tools, since they didn't even have souls in the [Inspiration] vision.
Now, these tools have fulfilled their mission, buying Lin Jun enough time.
A commotion suddenly arose from the direction of Dragon Roar Valley!
Having waited in vain for Sigismund's attack, Alama naturally wanted to find out what was going on, and thus discovered this group of Puji warriors providing support.
Alama also suspected that it might be a trap set by Sigismund, who deliberately led a human team to fight him at the valley entrance.
So he was initially cautious.
But after careful observation, especially after seeing the real heavy casualties of the demons, he concluded that Sigismund could not possibly pay such a price to put on a show, especially since the audience was him who had no way out.
However, Sigismund was prepared for Alama's intervention.
Despite the intense fighting on the main battlefield, he never mobilized the troops led by Veralis, and this fresh force firmly guarded the valley entrance.
There's no way we can let Alama break through!
Generally speaking...
...
Among the troops defending the valley entrance, a small, thin goblin nervously shifted its bare feet, its rough toes digging into the mud.
Verallis's troops were always poorly organized; she would even cram goblins and hungry trolls into the same formation.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for goblins to be accidentally trampled into mincemeat by friendly trolls, or simply grabbed and stuffed into their mouths as snacks.
As a "mature" goblin that has survived the harsh environment to this day, it has long since learned that it must always be vigilant, its murky yellow eyes constantly scanning for any potentially dangerous behemoths around it.
Pfft—
It suddenly felt something soft gently nudge its side.
Its survival instinct made it immediately jump two steps to the other side to avoid being stepped on. But when it looked closely, it saw only another goblin companion on the other side, who was also looking at it with a puzzled expression; no one else was passing by.
It tilted its ugly head in confusion, looking around, trying to find the source of the touch it had just felt.
The next second, accompanied by a deafening roar and shockwave, it and its equally bewildered companions, along with many more demon soldiers around it, were blasted into scattered fragments.
It no longer needs to think about that problem.
...
Next time, we need to optimize the foot structure for the stealth mechanism; the slight thumping sound it makes when moving is still too easy to detect.
As Lin Jun gradually reduced the number of Puji in Louisa's direction, the situation on Little Pig's side visibly became more difficult.
Lin Jun did not waste these vacant spots.
He used his magic to create one after another self-destructing poopi with the ability to become invisible, allowing them to silently infiltrate the edge of the battlefield and eventually blend into the loosest edge of the Verallis forces' formation.
Lin Jun really had to thank Veralis for her chaotic command style and troop organization, which saved her a lot of trouble.
If it were a disciplined legion like Sigismund's, key positions would inevitably be staffed with sentries or mages skilled in reconnaissance, making stealthy ambushes much more risky.
Moreover, Lin Jun didn't want to create a completely invisible army on the battlefield, as that would be too conspicuous.
Alama immediately noticed the chaos caused by the explosion. He personally blocked Veralis while having Lorenzo lead his men to tear a gap in the blast site.
The adjutant, who had already been suffering greatly at Sigismund's hands and was considering how to protect Inanna during her retreat, decisively led the remaining men to protect the heavily armored figure containing Inanna as they rushed over after discovering that Alama had torn open the gap.
Sigismund didn't want to let them in so easily, but the storm elementals kept erupting one after another before collapsing, and he had to deal with it.
The remaining Puji bravely held back the advance of his subordinates, and in the end, Sigismund could only watch helplessly as the Puji masters were taken into Dragon Roar Valley by Alama.
"What a satisfying battle! Are you angry?" My roommate popped up again, just as expected.
“No,” Sigismund took a deep breath, a glint of delight flashing in his eyes, and he praised without reservation, “I misjudged him. The commander hiding behind the scenes is exceptionally talented, a rare talent!”
"Yes, yes, I noticed that too."
"However, their army of magical pets is almost completely exhausted. Even if they manage to reunite with Alama and retreat into this wretched valley, what good will it do? It's just putting two troublesome things together so I can wipe them out in one fell swoop! Hmm... After conquering Dragon Roar Valley, I might give this newcomer a chance to submit."
"???"
Group 1 is in chaos and might not be able to recover. Everyone should join Group 2.
