Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 576 - 17: Final Battle - _2

As the long-range legion ceased fire, the bone dragon in the sky finally roared, but the roar held an unmistakable horror and repression.

The bone dragon had been silenced for the entire battle by the [Cold Heart] state, a legendary-level Commander Trait, which forcefully endowed an elite-level troop with nearly legendary traits.

Under the blessing of the Dark Energy Prayer, the undead's attack, defense, and speed all reached an extreme enhancement. With the full offensive of two divisions, they tore through the monsters wildly, causing blood and flesh to rain down as both sides fought fiercely for a long time before the undead reluctantly retreated.

By this time, Matthew had completely lost control of the Golden Pansy Army.

His elite legion would attack in any direction, and the commanding hero in that direction would fight and retreat, pulling the undead's line.

In other directions, the other five heroes of the Golden Pansy Domain would launch a full-scale offensive.

The sheer number of elites and the extremely strong heroic traits are one of the greatest advantages of the Golden Pansy Domain.

The entire battlefield is a crisscross of advances and retreats, with fierce attacks and rapid retreats under Lin Rui's complete command.

Fierce fighting raged for four days and three nights, leaving the entire Silent Sewer almost riddled with holes.

The soldiers wearing heavy power armor had used up all their potions. Even the long-range legion's potions were more than half used up, and supplies were almost exhausted.

The entire army suffered over thirteen hundred casualties, with Audrey's Undead Second Division nearly annihilated, and Undead First Division having lost over half, with nearly a battalion of undead heroic spirits now reduced to less than a company.

This was truly unavoidable.

Matthew, as the strongest in this world, was also highly skilled in battle.

If a frontal advance couldn't achieve results, he began focusing on breakthroughs.

His swarms of bat-winged demons and gargoyles, along with the bone dragons, no longer attacked in full force, but often hundreds of bat-winged demons would concentrate on one corner of the battlefield to encircle and kill a soldier.

Concentrating the main forces, using more to attack less, is the most correct strategy and the core of military tactics.

Under this strategy of peeling potatoes, the soldiers of the Golden Pansy Domain indeed continued to retreat and suffer losses along the way, with the army constantly dwindling.

However, at such a heavy cost, the Golden Pansy Domain finally saw a glimmer of hope in the agonizing battle that was nearly devoid of dawn.

After yet another fierce battle, Violet confidently said to Lin Rui: "Lord, during today's battle, my subordinates confirmed that we caused significant damage to the Black Warriors of the Phoenix Legion."

Lin Rui yawned; through the four days and nights of intense battle, he had constantly controlled the battlefield, meticulously planning the advances and retreats of each unit and coordinating cover, never resting for even a moment.

Similarly, his supreme spiritual energy damage was cast time and again, nearly draining his strength.

His whole mind felt muddled now, his scalp tingling, making him wonder if he would prematurely gray while still young.

At this moment, his face was haggard, his collar disheveled, hardly presenting the demeanor of an immensely powerful person.

Of course, after three days and nights, even Audrey, the most leisurely mage, was having trouble maintaining her image; although her makeup was still delicate, her black stockings had torn, revealing a beauty both lazy and tired.

Fatigue was the picture of everyone now!

Everyone couldn't help but feel confused and doubtful about whether their side could successfully deplete the enemy's health bar and defeat their army before collapsing to the extreme.

Lin Rui's mind also blanked out for a long time before he reacted to Violet talking to him, then said: "The Black Warriors of the Phoenix Battle Group had casualties? Are you sure this isn't like last time when the effects occurred on another battlefield?"

This Undying Secret Technique: Death God's Eternal Life, linked every undead creature with dark magic as equals.

It wasn't set into a fixed mode, like other cannon fodder bearing all the damage for the elite main troop.

Undead creatures on other battlefields suffering deadly blows might also be elite legions bearing damages for the cannon fodder.

Therefore, in previous battles, it had already occurred that the Black Warriors of the Phoenix Battle Group suddenly disbanded massively.

Violet immediately said: "I'm sure this time it's different; it's our Knight Order's attack, the enemy army fell as it should respond, with a very clear corresponding scale of attrition, although this condition quickly stopped and returned to the state of being unharmed. But I'm sure our attack worked!"

Lin Rui was already dragged into a chaotic state of thought by the long-drawn-out warfare and asked: "You mean the enemy's situation is severe too?"

Violet decisively said: "Both of us are actually exhausted now; the battle has made both sides nearly numb, and the battle is entirely a struggle of attrition and will. In this aspect, we might not be stronger than the Tomb Legion; continuing to consume, the undead only need to recover spiritual energy to perpetually revive the army."

Lin Rui tried to calculate rapidly, supporting his head. The combat power curve of the undead should be U-shaped, while for the Golden Pansy Domain, it's more of an inclined line, with combat power continuously dimishing.

So Lin Rui asked: "Are you planning to launch an assault?"

Violet solemnly nodded and said: "The time has come to fight to the death for survival! Moreover, the lengthy attrition has numbed the opponent too. Attacking with all our might when they're complacent in paralysis, starting a decisive battle, we certainly can catch them off guard and completely change the course of the war."

Lin Rui thought for a moment and replied: "Very well. You're a Holy Grail Knight, never exhausted, always clear-minded. Your suggestion now should be clearer than my thinking. I'll leave command of the entire army to you."

Violet immediately saluted, holding her longsword, and said: "I will certainly secure the battlefield's fate for you, my Lord, with a single defining strike!"

With Violet issuing orders in Lin Rui's name, the Golden Pansy Domain's legion rapidly began to assemble.

The site Violet chose for the decisive battle was in the middle of the ruins of an ancient structure.

This site was some unknown period's ancient construction, built of yellowed stones, with only desolate walls and ruins between broken palaces, but the stone steps leading underground were relatively intact.

It was a three-tiered underground structure, each tier featuring halls of ancestral kings and courtyard corridors and various buildings, sprawling over a vast area, with the first floor covering millions of acres.

The Golden Pansy Knight Order was the first to engage the Tomb Legion, and the powerful knights finally engaged in a head-on strangulation with the massive Tomb Army, holding off the undead legion's onslaught with their absolute toughness and combat power, fighting fiercely for a day and a night.

The Ancestral Kings' Stone Hall was left in disarray, the first two tiers turned into ruins before the Golden Pansy Knight Order, fighting and retreating, reached the third tier.

Seeing this scene, even in his numbness, Matthew felt somewhat excited; after such prolonged fighting, he had finally forced this most elite army of the enemy into a dead end!

He couldn't resist mocking once more.

This marked the first time since he had been in hiding that he revealed his voice: "Keh keh keh! Lin Rui, you are finally at the end of your rope, aren't you? I will definitely tear you limb from limb and sew them with the Hellhound's body, making you a dog-headed man, watching me play with your woman's smooth white body."

Lin Rui was too exhausted to even muster the interest to waste words with him.

It was somewhat an unexpected joy that Violet's decisive battle plan actually drew Matthew himself!

Though he was not sure of where he's hiding, the fact that he could see here meant he was certainly nearby.

For him, Lin Rui wouldn't hold back any fancy tricks. If caught, he would surely hack him to death and have Audrey convert him into an undead, perhaps even raising a new epic-level Dark Grandmaster.

By timing, the allies should have reached their attacking positions, Lin Rui decisively waved a hand: "Whole army, attack and completely end this long war! Burst forth the treasures from his body!"

As his Super-Tier Spirit Skill: Ice Blade Frost Splendor covered the battlefield for dozens of miles, the chapter of the decisive battle began in earnest!
