"Retreat, retreat fast... ah..."
Just as the demonized energy chariot's sides extended something.
The allied forces had already noticed something was wrong.
They had been keeping their eyes fixed on the demonized energy chariot.
The last time this thing had annihilated a million of them with a single shot.
How could they not pay attention to it?
This time, the reason they stopped at a distance of 50 kilometers.
Was precisely because they feared the energy chariot would fire another shot.
And they were also worried about the faction being split.
Their 9 million people had spread out over a vast area.
They were afraid of being too concentrated and suffering heavy casualties from a single shot, akin to a nuclear weapon.
But now they were only 5 kilometers away, and the demonized energy chariot had yet to react.
This distance was already within the splash range of that cannonball.
If they were to fire a shot now.
The Inverse God Alliance would also be unable to escape at this distance.
Moreover, the Inverse God Alliance showed no intention of slowing down.
Upon seeing this, the commander of the Third War Zone Allied Forces, One Sword Breaks the Sky, scoffed.
He mused internally.
What's this? Trying to charge at my 9 million people with 400,000 men and a broken chariot?
"All aerial units, attack! Don't let them reach us!"
He issued this order.
The more than 100,000 players with flying mounts were sent to their deaths.
The woman next to him didn't even bother to stop him.
When the demonized energy chariot's missile launch ports extended from its sides, the woman seemed to have expected it and pursed her lips.
These 100,000 people were supposed to be the aerial superiority force.
They were the strongest fighting force and the most survivable team among the 9.6 million troops.
This fellow clearly didn't understand what means the enemy possessed.
And he sent all of them out directly.
Previously, they had conducted targeted investigations on the demonized energy chariot.
Although they hadn't found much information.
They had unanimously agreed that since this strategic combat vehicle could fire bombs of such power.
It must also be capable of firing missiles for aerial superiority.
And One Sword Breaks the Sky, clinging to his status.
Never participated in any meetings.
Let him mess around, isn't he looking down on me?
Heh!
This woman not only felt no heartache but was smiling.
Because the commander wasn't her. Although she was a senator.
All the decision-making power was in One Sword Breaks the Sky's hands.
The victory or defeat of the battle needed him to take responsibility.
And she deeply remembered when she came here, the king of the Eastern War Zone.
Yu!
Had told her one thing.
Don't confront De Shen head-on.
Although she didn't know why Yu had reminded her of this.
She did know that a year and a half ago, Yu was incredibly arrogant.
But for a period, he didn't log into the Heavenly Dao world.
When he returned, he became very low-key.
Although the wealth he displayed had allowed him to acquire all the good things in the entire Eastern War Zone.
And his personal strength was formidable.
It had also caused the average level of players in the entire Eastern War Zone to be lower than in other war zones due to his monopolization of resources.
However, Yu Shen... was indeed the strongest among the overlords dominating their respective regions in the three major war zones.
It's just that she didn't know who would be stronger if he faced this De Shen.
While she was contemplating these matters.
The dense black cloud descended into extreme chaos.
Someone was urging them to retreat, but it was too late.
The things launched by the demonized evil dragon chariot, though small in appearance.
Their power stunned everyone.
The thumb-sized warheads, upon contact with flying mounts or their riders, instantly exploded. The explosive power was enough to instantly kill players.
Even if a mount touched them, it would result in broken wings and fractured bones.
And... these things actually tracked.
Although there were a few flying pets among these 100,000 people.
They dodged the bullets by tumbling.
But the bullets actually curved.
And continued to pursue them.
Everyone panicked.
Several flying mounts collided.
Bullets followed immediately.
Instantly, a ball of flames erupted.
In less than 10 seconds.
The aerial corps of the three allied forces fell to the ground like dumplings, with a pitter-patter.
One Sword Breaks the Sky was stunned.
Everyone watching the live broadcast was stunned.
Even the Inverse God Alliance players, who had been advancing, were stunned.
However, the brothers of the Inverse God Alliance were incredibly excited.
They had advanced 2 kilometers.
They were about to enter the range of the enemy's long-range players.
But Chu Tian received news that the enemy's 9.6 million people.
The vast majority were melee fighters.
Only three to four hundred thousand were long-range.
It was clear that the enemy's formation was not yet complete, and the melee teams had arrived first.
Furthermore, long-range players were relatively scarce in this game.
Everyone preferred close-quarters combat.
Therefore, there were more melee players in the Heavenly Dao world.
And sometimes, finding a job became difficult.
When running dungeons, more long-range players were needed than melee players.
But in PK, melee players had an advantage.
They could even counter-attack if ambushed in the wild.
Long-range players couldn't.
If a long-range player was ambushed at a certain distance by an attacker who closed the gap.
The probability of losing was over 90%.
Soon, they reached the 1-kilometer mark.
The demonized energy chariot had stopped advancing.
There was no one behind the chariot.
All 400,000 men were in front of the chariot, their speed not reduced.
"Change formation, Spearhead! Full speed advance!"
Chu Tian gave such an order at this moment.
"Change...!"
"Spearhead...!"
Shouts also came from the teams below.
Wave after wave, the troops paused abruptly and then began to change formation.
Chu Tian looked at the transforming formation. It was initially a bit chaotic, but after everyone ran out 100 meters, looking down from above.
A formation resembling a spearhead appeared.
This formation encompassed 400,000 men.
The blade of this spearhead was encircled by shield warriors.
In other words, the entire outer perimeter of the formation was surrounded by at least three layers of shield warriors.
Behind the shield warriors were a group of Weapon Masters wielding greatswords.
Behind the Weapon Masters were players engaging in close combat, like rogues.
Further back were mages, divine archers, and other long-range professions interspersed.
And in the formation, at intervals, an average of one healer profession was distributed.
Some were behind the shield warriors.
Some were next to the divine archers and mages.
Each healer's coverage radius could encompass all the surrounding players.
And this formation suddenly accelerated.
The ground mounts beneath them finally utilized their 100% movement speed advantage.
They no longer had to slowly follow the demonized energy chariot.
After the formation changed.
One Sword Breaks the Sky's gaze narrowed.
"Hmph, flashy... Without that damn chariot, these few people are still coming to die?
All long-range professions, unleash your wide-area skills!"
At the same time, the woman beside him also felt a jolt.
It was the first time she had seen someone arrange formations in such a large-scale battle in the game, and such a densely arranged formation at that.
In games, numbers usually determined victory.
She had never heard of battlefield formations.
Previous battles were always about two groups rushing at each other and a chaotic melee.
Finally, when one group was wiped out, the battle ended.
What was the Inverse God Alliance trying to do?
Was it really just flashy, as One Sword Breaks the Sky said?
