Faced with the mechanical tide's fierce counterattack, the players' assault grew ever more ferocious.
Once Free War Mode ended, the allied battle groups activated their battle formations one after another and joined the fight.
As one player put it, "Avoid the Mechanical Legion's edge? That's completely backward! Let's face them head-on and see who chickens out first!"
When it came to reckless fighting, the players feared nothing.
They treated even the Black Tide, which could endlessly retaliate and corrode everything, like an everyday dungeon to grind. These mechanical creations, which followed fixed logic, were nothing by comparison.
Unfamiliar with the players, the Mechanical Legion chose an energy-saving combat mode.
That meant focusing on melee combat and reducing large-scale energy discharges.
It also quickly recycled mechanical wreckage from the battlefield, reshaping it into new war units and flooding the field with reinforcements.
This "sustain war through war" cycle worked quite well under normal circumstances.
But this time, the Mechanical Legion was up against players.
The players' lives were so tough that even God Realm powerhouses couldn't erase them.
Trying to outlast them in a battle of sheer endurance was simply a waste of resources.
There was only one thing that gave the players a headache.
The Mechanical Legion's logic kept adapting as the battle intensified, and it ramped up the difficulty far too quickly. If the players didn't get a satisfying grind in, they'd be locked in Xiao Hei's Room to brood.
Before long, the Mechanical Legion became a tide of destruction across the battlefield.
Once the hunting level of the mechanical units deployed exceeded 150, with a large number of top mechanical warriors backing them up, the players' army suffered a total rout.
Even after the battle ended, discussions about the Mechanical Legion's invasion were still raging on the forums.
