Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 1998 - 637: 200,000 vs 1,400,000 (Part 6)
After informing General Reyes of the specific situation, Liu Shock returned to the city wall.
His journey back was filled with worries, wracking his brains for the right words to comfort Avril’s melancholic mood; however, upon reaching the city wall, he discovered that Little Ai and Figo had already returned to Green Glade, making his worries along the way pointless.
"Avril said she understands the character of the Sea Clan Mermaids and doesn’t need your comfort," Helen relayed Little Ai’s words to Old Liu.
Liu Shock gave a bitter smile, seeing two groups of loved ones clashing with weapons, he truly didn’t know how much Avril was crying in Green Glade now.
"Boss, the enemy army from the royal city is advancing a bit slowly, but it’s almost approaching Sabak’s horizon. I have sent Piegel and the injured soldiers over to hold the fort! His Majesty asks me to inform you not to worry. He has already dispatched the mutated Phantom Beast Knights to eliminate the Mulanese Phantom Beast Knights and bombed the enemy’s Imam army. The damage ratio is about one to twenty!" Chief of Staff Rovi saluted and handed the newly dispatched aerial reconnaissance map to Old Liu.
"The actual effect of the bombing was good, right?" Liu Shock opened the map and glanced at it briefly. The Old Lizard and Mourinho knew how to collaborate and refine "Poison Dragon Flight Bomb" for air force use, while he and His Majesty Sal weren’t idle either. Who doesn’t know that relying solely on oilmelon and alcohol isn’t a long-term strategy?
What Old Liu came up with was a desperate measure; he used chalk powder to make aerial bombs, similar in concept to the "Poison Dragon Flight Bomb," dispensing it from high altitudes.
Chalk powder is abundant in the Underground World and can be supplied indefinitely for the Beamon air force’s use. Sprinkled from the air, it not only acts as a smoke bomb to obscure vision but also, if it gets into the enemy’s eyes... heh, they’ll be in trouble...
This unkind trick was once a favorite of the old Shanghai Green Gang thugs, who relied on it for ambushes and muggings. In reality, washing lime out of eyes with sesame oil is easy and not scary; the danger is rubbing or washing with water, as lime reacts with water and can burn the retina beyond repair.
On the Aegean Continent, no one seems to know that lime washed out with sesame oil can solve this simple life experience. Liu Shock played on this knowledge gap.
The current bombing strategy of the Summer Palace Guards is to first disrupt the enemy’s vision with chalk powder and then exploit the chaos to bomb with oilmelon and alcohol; similarly, the aerial bombs supplied to Sabak are in this dual-combination form. Theoretically, if vision is first obstructed by lime and then a large oilmelon hits, even a Mage has a high chance of being taken out.
"Not bad! His Majesty said that the chalk powder dispensed from the air dissipates quickly because the air force flies too high, and the wind blows it away! But the chalk powder dropped with bags, when intercepted by the Mulan Imams’ magic, conveniently exploded mid-air and was quite effective!" Rovi shrugged helplessly: "Overall, the oilmelons and alcohol barrels are more formidable. The more they intercept, the more fiery rain spreads. If the air force’s bomb-throwing accuracy were higher, even more ordinary Mages would be doomed during air raids!"
This issue is an old problem with no good solution.
If the air force wants to bomb accurately, it must dive or hover at low altitudes because only then can it aim at the target.
But flying low is extremely dangerous for the air force, as any mistake could lead to being shot down.
However, when the air force is at high altitudes, it can avoid the range of magic and ballistae, ensuring its own safety, yet acknowledges an objective fact: even just a circle in the air has a diameter of several kilometers when expanded to the ground!
Thus, high-altitude bombing is adequate for dealing with dense troop formations, but for pinpoint strikes on specific areas, it relies on luck.
To put it simply, even the Green Glade air force doesn’t have an effective one-hit method against a cluster of Mages right now.
But the Green Glade air force has no problem dealing with other troop types, such as the 1.4 million strong Hai Mu coalition with only the "Batray Airforce." Liu Shock didn’t have enough oilmelons and alcohol, but if they could be manufactured freely, with the Summer Palace air force’s mobility, even if the Hai Mu coalition had Storm Splitter sorcerers for anti-aircraft defense, they couldn’t keep up with the flying transfers, leaving them to be bombarded without being able to fight back.
"The enemy is coming." Hearing the Piegel warriors pulling the alarm bell, Old Liu threw aside the aerial reconnaissance map and instructed Rovi: "Robert, remember to carefully observe the enemy’s firepower points and make detailed notes for me. Also, tell the Magic Protector and Burchin Magic not to rush into firing. Don’t let the enemy observe our firepower too thoroughly! You and General Reyes also need to coordinate; if other city walls can’t hold, be ready to transfer elemental combat units from here at any time. First, make the necessary arrangements for the numbers and batches."
"I’ve been preparing for this work early on," the Chief of Staff of the Hyena people chuckled, reassuring Old Liu.
"Damn it!" Liu Shock saw the southern corps of the Hai Mu coalition begin advancing; within the sapphire-egg-shaped barrier, twenty or so conspicuously huge sea turtles were trudging heavily, wrapped in the center of the formation, approaching Witherspoon, and couldn’t help but curse ambiguously: "I knew large models were never up to any good!"

The following ramblings don’t count towards the word count and are free of charge.
Once again, I state, I will not forcefully wrap up the story, there are at least two massive battles yet to write.
Also, a strong suggestion to those constantly cursing in the book review area, you’ve said it’s bad N times already, it’s really meaningless now, if your wife doesn’t suit you, you can divorce her, right?
Don’t try to provoke me with classic or non-classic arguments; I’m an old writer and don’t care about such vanity. That’s child’s play, and the arrogance of being classic has driven many authors insane, I find it horrifying.
Using classic status as bait instead of subscriptions, what’s the point of writing classics if it doesn’t earn money to support a family? Cao Xueqin wrote a classic but ended up castrated by starvation.
Don’t call me superficial; I only consider material rather than spiritual levels. In my view, an uncensored book is classic by default. Don’t lament Beast Blood either. From the beginning phases of writing this book, I’ve deliberately emphasized I never intended to write some damn classic; it’s a YY book with no grand moral or preaching, merely a story of mingling in the Otherworld.
This is my meal-ticket, my livelihood, and I try to write to the best of my ability. Don’t give me condescending comments about penmanship or structure that don’t find their mark. I’m perfectly capable of weaving my own stories. You’re not an editor; don’t conclude it for me authoritatively.
Some even say my updates are slow due to winning the annual monthly ticket championship, disrespecting readers! Such rumors and slanders are simply intolerable!
