Chapter 511: The Battle of Busan (Part 5) - Self-Destruction? Who's Afraid of Who!
Thirteenth Manina fell into deep thought, while Lance focused on commanding the entire monster army.
He displayed his exceptional leadership, coordinating the monster units to work together seamlessly, maximizing the unique abilities of each type of monster.
At the same time, Lance meticulously analyzed the weaknesses of the Blue Star forces, aiming to exploit these vulnerabilities to crush the enemy.
Unbeknownst to him, three minutes had already passed.
In those three minutes, the battle had intensified, entering a brutal phase of attrition.
Lance reviewed the real-time data transmitted by the sensors on the flying monsters. In those three minutes, the Blue Star side had lost 212 high-tier units, the majority being the Frost Dragons at the front lines, with a smaller number of rear units killed by agile monsters.
The losses on his side were also significant, totaling 328 monsters! The casualty ratio was a staggering 1.5 to 1, an unimpressive result given their superior strength. Any other commander would have committed seppuku for such a poor showing!
However, Lance wasn't overly concerned.
In those three minutes, he had seen through the true nature of the Blue Star forces.
He keenly observed that, apart from the Great Cultivators, the core of the Blue Star forces wasn't the Frost Dragons at the front or the high-damage Flame Phoenixes and Shadow Spirits. It was the Holy Angels!
The Holy Angels could cast powerful, wide-area healing spells and had exceptional single-target healing capabilities.
Under the continuous healing from the angels, the Frost Dragons could withstand massive damage and remain active, maintaining a favorable casualty ratio.
The monster army lacked healing units, which was the primary reason for the higher number of casualties on their side.
Once the Holy Angels were eliminated or ran out of mana, the Frost Dragons would be unable to withstand the damage, leading to the collapse of the Blue Star forces.
Realizing this, Lance quickly issued new orders to the entire monster army:
"Strength-type monsters, activate Rampage and create a breach in the enemy's lines;
Agile-type monsters, strike the Holy Angel units;
Flying monsters, assist the agile-type monsters in their assault;
Spellcasters, unleash all your powers to suppress the other enemies."
The monster army received Lance's commands almost instantly and began executing them.
Seven to eight hundred strength-type monsters simultaneously activated Rampage, their bodies growing 10% larger, their eyes turning blood red, and their attack power, attack speed, and movement speed all increasing significantly. They charged forward without hesitation, targeting the Frost Dragons.
The Frost Dragons were caught off guard and were quickly pushed back, their formation breaking apart and suffering massive casualties.
The rear units, including the Flame Phoenixes and Shadow Spirits, also came under intense magical attacks from the spellcaster monsters, leading to widespread casualties.
Fortunately, the Holy Angel units promptly cast their ultimate spell, "Hymn of the Holy," raising their Judgement Swords and singing hymns. Waves of holy light descended from the sky, finally stopping the bleeding and restoring the entire force's health to above 70% of their maximum.
However, due to the Frost Dragons' retreat, several significant gaps appeared in the front lines.
Agile-type monsters swiftly exploited these gaps, their sharp claws targeting the Holy Angels.
In just 10 seconds, over 130 agile monsters entered the gaps, threatening the angels' lives.
And the flying beasts from the sky were diving down, poised to wipe out the angelic forces in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, Zhong Feng reacted in time.
He quickly issued orders: "Flame Phoenix units, throw the Ice Mushrooms at the agile beasts breaking through our lines.
"Divine Angel units, prepare the Cherry Bombs and target those agile beasts as well.
"Shadow Specter units, deal with the flying beasts in the sky. Don't let them break through!"
Upon receiving the orders, the high-tier units immediately sprang into action.
The Flame Phoenixes retrieved the Ice Mushrooms from their storage spaces.
As the agile beasts charged into the Blue Star forces' position, they found themselves bombarded by a deluge of blue mushrooms.
These small mushrooms exploded upon contact, releasing a dense cloud of frost magic that covered a wide area.
Individually, these Ice Mushrooms were only third-tier and wouldn't have much effect on the agile beasts. However, the sheer number of them was overwhelming.
Each Flame Phoenix could carry 70-80 Ice Mushrooms, and with 350 Flame Phoenixes in total, even if they only threw half of their load, that would still amount to 12,000 Ice Mushrooms!
The sheer volume of Ice Mushrooms raining down released a blizzard of cold, immediately freezing the 130 agile beasts solid.
A single round of concentrated fire from the Flame Phoenixes, combined with the Cherry Bombs thrown by the Divine Angels, wiped out all 130 agile beasts in an instant.
The Shadow Specters were also making their presence felt.
Their Death Beams rained down like Gatling gun fire, targeting the flying beasts in the sky. The flying beasts couldn't withstand the high single-target damage, and one by one, they fell. In just a few seconds, over 40 of them were down.
So far, the Blue Star high-tier forces had lost 216 units, while the Skrull beast horde had lost 503 units, resulting in an impressive kill-to-loss ratio of 1:2.3.
The Blue Star army could be said to have won the first phase of the battle!
Noticing the heavy losses, Lance immediately ordered a retreat to regroup and prepare for another assault.
But Zhong Feng wasn't about to let him have his way.
The Chinese always believed in reciprocating favors. Since Lance had launched a powerful attack, it wouldn't be right not to return the favor, would it?
Taking advantage of the gap created by the enemy's retreat, Zhong Feng planned to strike back with a major offensive.
In the past three minutes, Lance had pretty much figured out the Blue Star forces' strengths and weaknesses. Zhong Feng, too, had spent those three minutes analyzing the beast horde's tactics.
The core of the beast horde, without a doubt, was the 800 psychic-type beasts.
The firepower of these psychic-type beasts was terrifying. Their combined output was even higher than that of the entire Blue Star army! The Divine Angels' mana had been drained primarily because of them.
If he could eliminate, or at least severely weaken, this beast force, the pressure on his side would be significantly reduced!
He didn't hesitate to act.
He immediately issued an order to the Shadow Specter units: "All Shadow Specter units, listen up! Use the Shadow Transfer skill to teleport yourselves next to the psychic-type beasts. Unleash all the Destruction Mushrooms and self-destruct, taking the enemy down with you!"
Zhong Feng recalled the scene where the high-magic-resistance units had self-destructed to attack Su Yu and formulated a similar plan.
So what if it meant self-destruction? Who's afraid of whom?
