Charge into the Enemy Formation

This entire operation wasn't hidden from the enemy; or rather, on this relatively open Desolate Land, they couldn't hide it anyway.

Just as the enemy set up their Shield Wall, clearly intending to turtle and wear them down, Zhou Xu also had no intention of concealing his own intentions at this moment.

Led by Dashan, a group of brothers moved with incredible speed. The enemy should have known that Skeleton Soldiers were too slow and inflexible to be dispatched to intercept them.

So, they simply let the Skeleton Soldiers continue their advance on the main battlefield, maintaining pressure on the enemy's rear Slingers.

As for Dashan and his group charging forward, they weren't afraid at all.

Excluding the Slingers, and considering the approaching enemy Skeleton Soldiers, Zhou Xu had to leave a few melee units to engage them.

If both sides had been evenly matched in numbers at the start, then by this time, facing the surprise attack team led by Dashan, they held a clear numerical advantage!

The Shield Wall was raised, and the enemy remained unyielding, holding their ground.

Dashan attempted to flank around the outside to bypass the Shield Wall, but the enemy had clearly anticipated this from the start. The shield-like door panels were erected, forming a perfect circle with no weaknesses.

This left Dashan with no choice but to launch a direct assault on the enemy's circular formation!

With a low growl, Dashan swung his stone axe, delivering a powerful blow directly at the Shield Wall before him.

Despite being gaunt from long periods of hunger, Dashan's strength was considerable, honed by the extreme environment.

With that axe strike, accompanied by flying wood chips, the shield-like door panel blocking his path shattered on the spot!

The mark was less of a split and more of a smash.

This development was undoubtedly beyond the enemy's wildest imagination. The person whose great shield had been smashed was so shocked he froze in place.

"Push him out!"

A voice rang out from behind the enemy's Shield Wall. Without time to deal with the stunned individual, Great Shield Soldiers on either side forcefully pushed him aside, stepping up shoulder-to-shoulder and using their broad shields to charge at Dashan.

Dashan, having just unleashed his full power, was directly hit by the charge of two Great Shield Soldiers raising their shields.

Instantly, Dashan lost his balance slightly, staggering backward.

At the same time, Dashan quickly spread his arms, trying to regain his balance and steady himself.

But the enemy wouldn't let him off that easily. Seeing Dashan lose his balance, they no longer hunkered behind their great shields. Moving their shields aside, two bone spears quickly thrust out from behind the shields, aiming straight for Dashan's life.

In a split second, he spread his arms, timing his move with the thrust of the two bone spears. Dashan twisted his body, narrowly dodging the attack, and then clamped the two bone spears under his armpits.

This maneuver startled the enemy and also terrified Dashan himself, his heart leaping into his throat.

The situation had been too perilous; he wasn't even sure if he could succeed, having no confidence at all.

Meanwhile, the enemy reacted quickly. Their first instinct was to pull back the two bone spears, but Dashan wouldn't let them have their way.

At that moment, Dashan decisively abandoned his stone axe, flipped his hands, and grabbed the shafts of the two bone spears.

"Want to pull them back? You'll have to try harder!"

The Great Shield Soldiers holding the spears with one hand didn't have much strength. As they spoke, Dashan, using their force to pull back the spears, finally stabilized himself. With a surge of strength from his hands, using the action of forcibly snatching the spears, the two Great Shield Soldiers lost their footing and balance, one after the other. This also created an opening in the previously impenetrable shield formation!

"These two idiots!"

Seeing this, the enemy chief behind the Shield Wall's face darkened, wishing he could cripple those two on the spot.

But the current situation didn't allow him to dwell on it; he could only shout repeatedly...

"Block them, block them quickly!"

Other Great Shield Soldiers on the sides quickly moved to block as they reacted, but by this time, the other tribe members who had charged with Dashan had already arrived.

No need for further words, they directly helped Dashan hold off the subsequent pursuit.

Dashan, seizing the opportunity, moved swiftly. Holding a bone spear in each hand, he charged into the enemy ranks and began a wild flurry of attacks.

The Great Shield Soldiers, burdened by their heavy equipment, had limited mobility and couldn't react in time. Several Great Shield Soldiers were wounded on the spot.

The circular formation formed by these great shields was only truly powerful in its external defense when it was impregnable from within. However, once attacked from the inside, the formation became difficult to maintain.

The enemy chief, also aware of this, had no choice but to order a dispersal.

[We'll fight head-on if we have to, don't forget, I have more men!!]

With the change in tactics, upon receiving the order, some Great Shield Soldiers directly dropped their shields, wielding spears with both hands, forming an offense-and-defense combination with the Great Shield Soldiers beside them.

This simple adjustment yielded significant results.

Their previous passivity was due to their defensive attrition strategy.

Once they switched to offense, their numerical advantage was quickly leveraged. Even Dashan, who had previously displayed great power, was now forced into a predicament where he was outnumbered.

Although a minor incident had occurred, the enemy chief, having regained control of the situation, was undoubtedly back in his element.

He then swept his gaze over the main battlefield. By this time, his Skeleton Soldiers had reached the enemy's position.

This left the Slingers with little room to maneuver, and they began to engage the Skeleton Soldiers in close combat.

As combat units, Skeleton Soldiers were indeed not outstanding. They were fragile, lacked mobility, and were mediocre in all aspects.

However, Skeleton Soldiers had one advantage: they were fearless. Even if shattered, they could be reanimated, allowing the Skeleton Soldiers to attack recklessly.

Facing these fearless Skeleton Soldiers, they were truly unable to disengage and were completely tied up.

Wielding his bone spear and knocking a Skeleton Soldier to the ground, Zhou Xu's gaze unconsciously swept over the chaotic battle in the distance.

Just as the enemy chief was observing their situation, he was also observing the situation over there.

[These Skeleton Soldiers can reassemble time and time again after being scattered. This is definitely not something they can do on their own. There must be a Necromancer-like individual on the other side casting spells. If we don't take care of that Necromancer, we'll be worn down endlessly by the enemy, and I fear we won't have much of a chance of winning.]

With this thought, Zhou Xu attempted to pinpoint his target.

But that Necromancer was clearly not stupid, having completely blended in with the enemy Spearmen and Great Shield Soldiers, making it impossible to discern any clues. However...

[Eye of Insight!]

Without hesitation, he activated the power of True Word directly.

At that moment, the entire world before Zhou Xu's eyes became even clearer.

Setting aside the panels that kept popping up on each figure, details that he couldn't notice before were now completely exposed under the gaze of his eyes!

[Found him!]

Also, I've made some reasonable adjustments to a few characters' panels today, only adjusting their current star rating, not their growth potential, so it won't affect the future. This is just a notification. Thank you all for your support!
