Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2155 - 665: Life’s Uncertainties (Part 3)
Faced with the human warriors charging from all directions and the magic falling like heavy snowflakes from the sky, the elite Sea Clan warriors on the Coral Sea defense line were instantly overwhelmed. Without the coordination of auxiliary troops, even the formidable Banilou Warriors could not withstand the dual assault of human wave tactics and magic coverage!
The saying goes, "The bird that sticks out gets shot," and the larger and more conspicuous the Sea Clan warriors, the more attention they would receive from the Sidov marauders and human mages. Just Liu Zhenhan’s Osteo mini-cannon alone, firing at a magic speed of two thousand rounds per minute, wiped out at least a squadron of Panin Sai Xu Warriors!
The Sea Clan’s response was not slow; the Storm Sorcerers hastened back through the Well Teleportation Array as fast as humanly possible. However, the number of magic teleportation arrays they had was too few, and those on the Coral Sea defense line had only a handful to guarantee communication. Such slow transfer allowed the Aegean mages to locate the Sea Clan sorcerers’ magic teleportation positions, quickly concentrating firepower to eliminate the few existing teleportation points.
The Storm Sorcerers could only come through the Well Formation in the Alps Wetland Base Camp for teleportation, but in doing so, they were too far removed from the immediate danger; a hopeless situation. Without an air force, it would take at least half a day to walk or use mounts to transport troops to the Coral Sea defense line. During this time, a human army holding overwhelming advantages in soldiers, magic, and war songs would have crawled to the peak of the Forgotten Valley!
When heavy Phantom Beasts landed and turned into counterfeit Beamon Giant Beasts joining the war, the battle completely shifted to one-sided. Faced with crushing pressure, the Sea Clan warriors began to flee in droves—during the cold weapon era, if ninety-five percent of an army suffered over forty percent casualties, retreat was inevitable!
Human war god Sidov took advantage of this precious time to reorganize the two hundred thousand human warriors ready in the Base Camp into elite troops, methodically advancing, taking over the Forgotten Valley defense line, and reconstructing fortifications.
Due to the vicious and comprehensive surprise attack by the priests, the fire platform on the highland remained very intact. Next to heaps of corpses piled up, countless heavy machinery remained unharmed, conveniently turned towards the Sea Clan warriors climbing uphill to reinforce the Coral Sea defense line, suppressing them with firepower. This plentiful stock instantly became a tool of slaughter against the Sea Clan warriors, sending all Sea Clan generals and commanders into raving fits.
This great victory could not be replicated; in a regular battle, the number of enemies destroyed by war songs alone exceeded the combined achievements of other troop types—this was only possible against weak Sea Clan auxiliary troop types! If there were ten thousand Sea Clan mages stationed in Forgotten Valley, with the Totem Pillar of War Songs losing its forbidden magic effect, how could Sidov’s aerial attack have proceeded with such audacity! If it were true, the human army’s wild, disordered charge would have been akin to suicide!
All this credit goes to Rommel, this mixed-breed mongrel used a simple luring strategy and plenty of aerial bombs to win the favor of the goddess of victory by exploiting differences in equipment between our sides!
This command art, relying on strategic space to trade for strategic time, has proved incomparably effective in practice!
Liu Zhenhan thought back, understanding why King Sal was provoked into deciding to kill.
Rommel, this mongrel, arranged the entire campaign plan without much care, as if playing a game, never communicated even basic strategic intentions to Liu, merely requested air force, aerial bomb stock, and human mage team authorization—it was this fearsome aspect of him!
If he had truly carefully prepared for a campaign, as his enemy, would we again suffer a repeat of the tragic scenario akin to Hu Ye Ancient City?
From Rommel’s arrangement of the Summer Palace Guard’s massacre plan, up until his subsequent steps to lure the snake out of its hole, he alone has kept the Sea Clan, Beamon, Demon Clan, and human forces spinning in circles. Remarkably, he timed and paced everything so accurately! In this grand-scale strategic layout, the heaviest and most substantial note was the Summer Palace Guard. As a guest staff advisor, Rommel could within a mere few days of interaction completely grasp the real combat power of the Summer Palace Guard, precisely estimating the combat duration of the Beamon warriors, using it as a backbone to plan a chain-linked major campaign, which both improved Beamon’s military purchasing and hurried the Demon Clan to dispatch troops to Aegean, while allowing humans to regain control of key defense towns, reversing the Sea Clan’s strategic advantage with aplomb!
Playing straightforward strategy to this extent, only the word ’monster’ suffices to describe his plentiful cunning and wisdom...
Liu Zhenhan considered—if he were the highest Sea Clan commander, he too might suffer Rommel’s manipulation. As the war ended, we could easily see, Rommel had used Liu to send thousands of Demon Clan noses to the Sea Clan—another clever ploy to lull the opponent! The Sea Clan could never imagine, while Beamon performed massacres in the Demon World and bombed Sabak, they still had spare capacity to suddenly fight another friendly match in the Kalimdo plains!
The victory in this battle had inducements such as Dubin Beast King and Medusa Priest suddenly entering the Aegean Battlefield without Sea Clan acquiring accurate prior intelligence. Yet, undeniably, even without Dubin Beast King and Medusa Priest, Rommel merely explaining his tactical plans to Beamon beforehand would have sufficed for humans to retake Forgotten Valley—a thousand Beamon priests alone assisting, without over ten thousand Storm Splitter sorcerers on the Sea Clan side as protectors, they would still face inevitable structured destruction! With numerous Beast Kings and priests preparing on the battlefield today, in hindsight, it seemed like using magic to swat a fly—a colossal waste!
