Without high-end combat power to stop it, this move was practically unbeatable against regular troops. The entire scene had almost become a one-sided massacre.
But then again, it made sense. For a Saint Realm Mage to directly interfere in a battle between regular troops was little different from cheating.
Of course, this tactic was not effective at all times.
On the battlefields of the present day, the standard mode of engagement was essentially soldiers against soldiers and generals against generals.
Under normal circumstances, if the enemy's high-end combat power did not make a move, their own high-end combat power would not act lightly either.
After all, everyone feared that if their high-end combat power struck first and expended its strength, they would be unable to effectively restrain the enemy's high-end combat power afterward. At the slightest misstep, they could directly find themselves facing a crushing defeat!
Given this situation, the best approach was for both sides, while still unclear about the other's capabilities, to keep their respective high-end combat power in hand as trump cards and not play them easily.
They would first let their main forces fight. If the main force could win on its own, then it would make no difference whether the high-end combat power was deployed.
Conversely, if their main force had already fallen into a disadvantage or a bitter struggle at this stage, they might be unable to hold back and send out their high-end combat power first in an attempt to turn the tide.
Then, naturally, both sides would enter the stage of countering every move with a move of their own.
To put it plainly, this was the stage when both sides began revealing their trump cards. Whoever ran out of cards first and could no longer hold on would be defeated.
