Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2145 - 663: The Warlords’ Game (Part 7)
The Hai Mu Legion made an error from the start. Since the Bimon had been stockpiling aerial bombs without launching any large-scale air raids recently, the commanders of the Sea Clan naturally assumed that this airstrike would be just like before, a loud but minor sparrow battle and harassment attack. Imagine the spectacle when ten super-level magical beasts suddenly broke through the clouds, sweeping the ground with dragon’s breath!
Rommel’s sudden split bombing strategy caused the Sea Clan commanders to make another fatal error. They scattered over two thousand Storm Sorcerers and Mulan Imams across hundreds of miles of encampments, hoping to guard the skies. But Rommel seized the opportunity, gathering escort troops to lower altitude and dive in attacks, using wolf pack tactics to eliminate isolated Hai Mu mages, and also severely pummeled the ordinary soldiers who lost their air defense protection.
This somewhat rogue air force tactic left Sea Clan commander Maria High Tree Duchess and Emperor Seia in disarray, deeply troubled. Although Sirens could fly, this was the Donau Wasteland, facing the Bimons, the priests on the ready at the Zeppelin Aircraft made each Siren tremble inwardly. As for the Seia Mermaids, among them, those who could ascend with sheer magic power, upon seeing the escort formation composed of ten super-level magical beasts and over a thousand Phantom Beast Knights, chose to lay low—charging up recklessly, even the mightiest mage can’t withstand relentless attacks in high altitudes without strong protection.
Reluctantly, Duchess Maria High Tree and Sea Emperor Seia concentrated all Storm Splitter Sorcerers and Imams, utilizing the Well Teleportation Array for large-scale transfers to ensure dense anti-air fire coverage.
But this move made the Hai Mu Legion’s flaws even more pronounced.
Concentrating over two thousand Hai Mu mages significantly increased anti-air capability, but the area they could control drastically shrank. The Hai Mu coalition besieging Sabak had camps in the southeast, west, and north directions. If they focused on one direction, they neglected the other three. Using the Well Teleportation Array for mass transfers was no match for the aviation force roving freely in the blue sky.
Rommel utilized only two feigned attacks and scattered operations, leaving the Hai Mu mages scrambling everywhere. They helplessly watched their soldiers bombed by the Bimon air cavalry, a chaos akin to boars invading a vegetable garden.
The Eight-headed Hell Black Dragon was especially eye-catching; these fallen giant dragons stood at the pinnacle of Fire Elemental magic, excelling in area damage. The ideal environment for unleashing their power was precisely a crowded battlefield! The Black Dragon’s breath with oppressive burning force, unable to be extinguished with water, each diving sweep opened eight fiery corridors of flames.
The Bimon Air Force didn’t hold back, from the "Liquid Corrosion Aerial Bomb" to the "Netherworld Beast Corpse Liquid Bomb," "Corroding Gold Ant Acid Bomb," "Lime Bomb," and then the originally imported "Tangzan Corpse-Melting Soft Water Bomb," "Flammable Ice Missile," Rommel, authorized in using aerial bombs, spared no effort to equip the Bimon Air Force with various bombs, steadily increasing the attack intensity from fast to slow, until the Hai Mu coalition was unable to breathe.
Bimon King was somewhat heartbroken. Rommel’s approach was clearly to deplete Bimon’s aerial bomb reserves in one go; however, Rommel didn’t hold back himself, willingly offering vast quantities of "Leonidas Sulfur Gas Bomb" and the recently crafted "Charcoal Sprite Bomb" to ensure bombing fire density, swallowing Bimon’s petty grumbling.
Without the obstruction from Hai Mu mages, low-level bombing increased attack precision significantly. With overwhelming bomb firepower, along with the assistance from the magic protectors, Bulqin devils, priest magic pets aboard Zeppelin Aircraft, and eagerly joining battle Smey masters, they scoured the Hai Mu Legion’s encampments from south to north, west to east, causing wailing and chaos.
When Xiao Bei brought over a thousand human mages from Kalimdo Plain to Sabak, the carpet bombing finally reached a fever pitch! The Zeppelin Aircraft and Two-Headed Chimera carried over a thousand human mages, casting layer upon layer of devastating magic upon the Sea Clan warriors’ heads. This air-to-ground attack combined firepower and mobility, a totally overwhelming, brute-force, indiscriminate saturation strike, fiercely wild, giving the impression that the Bimon Army was about to launch a full counterattack!
Emperor Beckenbauer of Seia, who came to oversee the Hai Mu Legion, sent off twelve consecutive golden orders to the main forces, urging the Storm Splitter Sorcerer Group to assist. He even made an unprecedented move of simultaneously sending emergency calls for support to two detached forces located in the northern and southern parts of North Aegean—the Sea Emperor’s strategy was undoubtedly to unite all mage forces of the current Sea Clan army!
Such a grand mage assembly order never occurred even in the "Nocturne Battle"; it was evident how formidable and real Rommel’s momentum was!
The Sea Clan’s magic teleportation array lacked an instrument like Seven degree gold, inevitably slowing down transfer pace. When Old Liu returned to Sabak with a smile of harvest, the magical anti-air firepower of the Hai Mu Legion began to form a scale. But by then, the astute Rommel had already ascended his troops to a safe height, both sides started engaging in air-to-ground magical volleys. Leveraging the speed and range transfer advantages of airborne flight, Bimon air cavalry maintained a certain edge, but this edge was gradually being counterbalanced by the increasing number of Sea Clan mages.
