The sounds of war resounded across the horizon. Under the scorching sun, almost every Emerald Dragon and Standing Scorpion was waving their weapons with all their might. No matter what they came for, they were now fighting for their lives. A large number of lives were being lost almost every second. In the chaotic battle, it was hard to tell who would win, but the balance of superiority had already begun to waver ….
The Emerald Dragons at the outermost perimeter used their spears to block the Standing Scorpion's attacks. A large number of Standing Scorpions rushed forward, piercing the Emerald Dragons with their spears or breaking their spears with their own bodies. The Standing Scorpions' goal was clear — to break up the Emerald Dragons' army. As long as the Emerald Dragons were mixed in with the Standing Scorpions, their individual combat ability was inferior to the Standing Scorpions.
At the same time, if the army was mixed, the Standing Scorpions could also prevent attacks from the sky.
Boom! One by one, the Viper Dragons landed in the center of the Standing Scorpions. The moment they crushed a large number of Standing Scorpions, they spread their wings and soared into the sky again. The Viper Dragon Knights used the same method as before to slowly break up the Standing Scorpions' army.
But …
"Wuuu …" A mournful cry suddenly resounded on the battlefield. One of the wyverns was crawling with scorpions. They used their spears to pierce through the gaps between its scales. Their weight made it unable to fly again. In the face of so many opponents, this flying beast could only scream and fall to the ground.
There were too many Standing Scorpions. Some of the Viper Dragons were surrounded by Standing Scorpions when they crashed into the ground. The Viper Dragons' attacks were no longer as effective. Susumi hovered in the sky on her Viper Dragon, observing the situation. But it was difficult to make a decision.
Susumi might be trying a new tactic. But she didn't have much time.
In the Standing Scorpions' army. They were four meters tall and seven meters long. Both Rin and Susumi had seen these creatures before. They were a type of spider queen that they encountered when they escaped from the town where the Mad Standing Scorpions were.
They were the monsters that suddenly rushed out of the ground before the two armies clashed. But these spiders were different from the ones they saw underground. They were much larger. Their legs and bodies were covered with a kind of crystalline carapace. Obviously, they were a species that specialized in combat rather than reproduction.
Because their carapace reflected a crystal blue light, Rin temporarily called them 'Ice Spiders.' They were also creatures left behind by the Atte Tribe. Perhaps the Standing Scorpions first discovered them underground.
Although the Standing Scorpions couldn't command the Brain Monsters, they could command some Atte creatures with lower intelligence.
The Frost Spider rampaged through the Emerald Dragons with its huge body. The sound of bones being crushed could be heard under its thick limbs. Many of the Emerald Dragons that tried to stop it were knocked into the sky by its head.
"Stop it!" Several Emerald Dragons raised their spears and blocked the moving crystallized monster, but in the next moment, all the spears were instantly broken. These Emerald Dragons also flew out with the power of the Ice Spider, but even more Emerald Dragons surrounded them. .... and Viper Viper Spider.....
Amidst the all-around attack, two spears pierced through the gaps in the Frost Spider's carapace, but it didn't seem to feel anything. It continued to charge forward crazily, as if it wouldn't stop until the last moment.
"Shoot!" Countless arrows hit the Ice Spider from all directions. Many of them bounced off the Ice Spider's carapace, but some of them pierced the joints of the Ice Spider's carapace.
Blood flowed out of the Ice Spider's wounds. Although the Ice Spider didn't move, it cried out in pain.
"That's it! Take it down!" The Emerald Dragons seemed to have been inspired. They kept attacking the Frost Spider's joints and the gaps in its shell. The more they attacked, the crazier the Frost Spider became, knocking or flattening countless Emerald Dragons around it. A large number of Emerald Dragons fell under the feet of this monster. The crazier the Frost Spider became, the harder it was for the Emerald Dragons to get close.
But the Ice Spider was already lying on the ground. The damage it received made it difficult for it to stand up.
Susumi saw the situation from the sky. The Viper Dragons couldn't pick up the Ice Spider because of its weight, but now was a good opportunity.
The Viper Dragons fighting the Standing Scorpions were still fine. They had to deal with the big monsters in the group.
Susumi turned the Viper Dragon's head and swooped down toward the heavily injured Ice Spider.
But at this moment, Susumi suddenly saw an emerald dragon rush in front of the ice spider. It held a spear in its hand and jumped high in front of the ice spider. It threw the spear in its hand with all its might. The spear accurately pierced the ice spider's head and chest. The ice spider immediately let out a sorrowful cry and fell to the ground.
Although the Ice Spider was seriously injured, its actions greatly reduced the Viper Dragons' losses. The Viper Dragons around suddenly burst into cheers.
"You … What's your name?" Susumi landed next to the fallen Ice Spider and asked the Viper Dragon who killed the Ice Spider first.
The Viper Dragon looked at the Ice Spider and panted. It seemed that it didn't know how to react. It probably didn't believe that it could kill such a monster in one blow.
The Ice Spider wasn't dead, but it might have pierced the Ice Spider's nerves, causing it to be unable to move. Rin thought so.
"My … My name is Tutu. King, my name is Tutu!" The emerald dragon finally reacted. It excitedly responded to Susumi's question. It was obviously very happy.
"Very good. You may be the next War Lord. Keep up the good work!" Susumi pulled the Viper Dragon's head and flew back to the sky. Tutu, who was encouraged, was very excited. It quickly picked up its weapon and rejoined the battle.
"War Lord" was a new position defined by Susumi. It was similar to a commander's position. Only Viper Dragons who performed well on the battlefield could become a War Lord. However, War Lords usually referred to Viper Dragons who were strong, but not necessarily suitable to command.
This was only the first Ice Spider. There were still five Ice Spiders rampaging among the Viper Dragons. However, the Viper Dragons who knew the corresponding methods were able to effectively resist these huge monsters. The Viper Dragons learned very quickly. They often observed their surroundings on the battlefield instead of just fighting blindly.
"Get rid of it!" Another Ice Spider was also surrounded by the Viper Dragons. Countless arrows and spears flew at its body. Although the Ice Spider was huge, its carapace was not completely covered. The damage to its joints made it difficult for it to move. Then, a few other Viper Dragons rushed up. They threw their spears at the Ice Spider's neck in the same way as Tutu.
With a sorrowful cry, the Ice Spider fell to the ground. The remaining Ice Spiders were surrounded by a large number of Viper Dragons. The Viper Dragons had victory in their hands …
As the most meritorious Toutu, it ran happily in the army. Although it didn't play any role in killing the other Ice Spiders, this didn't stop it from obtaining a bright future … As a War Lord, it would have more resources and a better life.
That is, if it could live that long.
"Gah!" Tutu suddenly screamed. Its legs gave way and it fell to the ground. It found that its body had become weak. It wanted to scream, but its voice had long been drowned out by the sounds of fighting around it.
Its thoughts of the future disappeared along with it from this noisy battlefield … …
However, Tutu was not the only one who was attacked by this unknown attack. Some of the nearby Viper Dragons also had similar situations. They suddenly fell to the ground as if they were suddenly poisoned.
They were indeed poisoned. In the big hole that the Ice Spiders drilled out, a large number of small black scorpions had crawled out. There were so many of them that they quickly spread among the Viper Dragons' army.
Although many of the scorpions were trampled to death by the Viper Dragons, some succeeded in stinging the Viper Dragons' feet. Their poisonous stings could instantly make the Viper Dragons fall to the ground.
"Watch your feet!" Many Viper Dragons noticed the situation under their feet. The Viper Dragons were quite flustered at first, but they soon noticed that these miniature troops did not move very fast. As long as they were careful, they could easily trample them before they were stung.
"Seal the hole!"
Following the commander's order, the Viper Dragons quickly used all kinds of stones to completely seal the big hole that the Ice Spiders drilled out. This way, they should be able to completely eliminate this threat.
Although the Viper Dragons had taken care of many terrifying opponents, victory still did not belong to them. The Lisei's army was in full attack. They surrounded the Viper Dragons' army. Although the Viper Dragons on the periphery were constantly fighting, their loss rate was higher than the Lisei's. In addition, the Viper Dragons inside had been attacked by the Ice Spiders … Lin felt that the Viper Dragons' numbers were no longer as high as the Lisei's.
Now, their only hope was the viper Dragons' army. In the previous attack, the viper Dragons had suffered a lot of losses. Now, Susumi was planning to use a new tactic …
The Viper Dragons circling in the air suddenly changed their direction and spread out. Some of them flew into the swamps and forests, while others flew further into the plains. Just as the Lisei's army was wondering why the shadows above their heads had dispersed, they all returned.
However, this time, the Viper Dragons brought many different things. Some of them grabbed thick branches, some grabbed huge stones, and these things were thrown heavily into the Lisei's army. Countless Lisei's army were smashed and crushed by them, but the Lisei's army could not fight back.
