The poison of the fireflies had claimed the lives of thousands of soldiers in an instant. The Mushroom Worms that could kill a person at any second were also searching for their targets randomly.
The Federation's army immediately fell into disarray.
As a matter of fact, the Federation's army was completely helpless against the Venomous Insect Shamans. Even if they sent out powerful Super Mages, as long as the Venomous Insect Shamans did not fight them head-on, the poison would still spread across the battlefield.
"Damn it, those damned insects! The Andes Mountains are a place full of poisonous insects. It's the perfect environment for the Venomous Insect Shamans to cultivate. The Venomous Insect Shamans were forbidden by the Magic Association in the past, but now that the Magic Association is no longer around, they are even more unscrupulous. They are feeding the lives of our soldiers like rice!" Brigadier General Blair snarled.
The Venomous Insect Shamans had always been a terrifying profession in the Andes Mountains. They were even more mysterious than the Curse Mages.
The Venomous Insect Shamans were the most useful on a battlefield full of dead and living people. It was impossible to stop them with other spells.
It did not matter how strong the Federation's cultivations were as the poison continued to spread to the soldiers.
"Brigadier General Blair, our Eagle Horse Skyriders have taken out the enemy's air force. They are advancing toward the Scorching River, but they are currently separated from our army on the ground. We have to regroup with them before the enemy's second air force is reorganized," a messenger said as he landed beside Brigadier General Blair.
"The Eagle Horse Skyriders?" Mofan asked.
"They are the main force of the Federation's army. The Brown Rebels' air force is nowhere close to ours. Only the Crusaders and the Eagle Horse Skyriders are able to take out the Brown Rebels … "Brigadier General Blair explained to Mofan.
Brigadier General Blair trusted Mofan a lot now. He felt like he would win the war if he followed Mofan's lead.
"Have they advanced deeper into the enemy's territory?" Mofan asked.
Mofan had already noticed the Magic Skyriders in the air. The Skyriders in the Federation's uniform were flying across the battlefield in batches. They were basically in control of the sky above the battlefield.
"Yeah, we can't afford to waste our time with the Brown Rebels in the woods. Our Vice General has led the Eagle Horse Skyriders deep into the enemy's territory," Brigadier General Blair said.
"They're basically fighting alone, if your surface army hasn't followed up," Mofan said.
"We don't have any other choice. The Brown Rebels are going to retaliate if we lose the duel. Banlo City will turn into their base. If we fail to suppress the Brown Rebels, everyone above the rank of Brigadier General is as good as dead even if they make it back alive," Blair said.
The higher-ups of the Confederation had already put pressure on the suppression army. They had to take over the Scorching River Frontline no matter what.
The situation was extremely grim!
To put it bluntly, the wrinkled deputy general was gambling.
He was leading the Eagle Horse Skyriders into the forest, but the Venomous Insect Adepts were keeping the army at bay. If the army failed to break through the Venomous Insect Adepts' blockade, the strongest Eagle Horse Skyriders of the Federation would die horribly in the enemy's encirclement!
Once the Eagle Horse Skyriders were dead, the Brown Rebels could even retake Banlo City.
The situation was quite grim!
…
"Mubai, Old Zhao, we don't have much time left." Mofan frowned and called them over.
The deputy general was gambling. If they lost the duel, they would no longer have a chance to get close to the Scorching River.
"So, do we have to give it our all?" Zhao Manyan asked.
"Yes, we have to. The Eagle Horse Skyriders are heading toward the horseshoe-shaped bend where Wu Ku is. It's the enemy's hinterland. The Confederation's Skyriders are very strong. They are the Brown Rebels' killers on the battlefield, but the Brown Rebels will kill them in less than an hour if the army on the ground doesn't follow them in, "Mofan said.
"Then we have to eliminate the Venomous Insect Adepts as soon as possible. The Skyriders and the Brown Rebels are separated. It's like League of Legends giving out the best top-laner before the start of a team battle," Zhao Manyan blurted out professional gaming terms.
Mubai fell silent for a moment.
The poison of the fireflies was still spreading. The fear of the Venomous Insect Adepts was still lingering.
Most importantly, Professor Xylan was not willing to fight the Venomous Insect Adepts herself. She was implying that the commander of the Venomous Insect Adepts was an old enemy of hers. Her target was the commander of the Venomous Insect Adepts!
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and follow the Skyriders. We can't even find the Venomous Insect Adepts. Wu Ku has already become the God of Rain!" Zhao Manyan blurted out.
"Old Zhao and I won't be able to provide much help to the Venomous Insect Adepts. I mean, Mubai, you should stay here and take care of the Venomous Insect Adepts. Try your best to let the army on the ground break through the Venomous Insect Adepts," Mofan said.
"But what if we can't break through the Venomous Insect Adepts? Won't you be ambushed from all sides, just like what happened at Banlo City's Furniture Plaza? The enemy only had around eight thousand people last time. This time, you might have to face tens of thousands, or even more!" Mubai shook his head. He strongly disagreed with the idea of splitting up.
Life and death were unpredictable on the battlefield. If the three of them looked out for one another, they would be able to fight or retreat safely.
If they split up and accidentally fell into the enemy's army, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After all, Mofan and Zhao Manyan were not undefeatable. They would have a hard time surviving if they stumbled into the Musical Disruption Choir that the conductor had specially prepared for them.
"It's fine, we believe in you. As long as the army on the ground can regroup with the Skyriders in time, we won't be surrounded by tens of thousands of Mages, "Mofan said.
"Yeah, we believe in you … ugh, Mofan, did you just say that it's useless for us to stay here?" Zhao Manyan finally realized what Mo Fan meant.
"Mm, we don't know anything about the Poison Element and the Plant Element. Our spells are useless against these fireflies and mushroom worms," Mofan said.
"I think these Venomous Insect Adepts are a little tricky to deal with. I'm quite knowledgeable about the Poison Element in school. Why don't I stay here and help Mubai? You should be careful. By the way, tell me if you have anything to say, I'll write it down for you, "Zhao Manyan said.
"Why don't you just tell me what my will is and tell me it now?" Mofan said.
"It's always good to be tactful, hehe."
"Huh, what are those silver dots around you? Are they the enemy's silver fireflies?"
"Oh, Mofan, are you using a Space Spell? You gave me such a fright … holy crap, don't drag me into this!"
…
Zhao Manyan felt like he was being an idiot. He had graduated from a famous university, and even pretended to be a teacher at one of the best universities in the world for a few months.
Weren't those silver fireflies the f * * king Silver Diamond Dust, the Advanced Space Spell, Group Blink?
