180 Retreat

Upon seeing this, Yuan Chen couldn't help but frown.

In terms of destructive power against enemy lines, the Abomination is not as powerful as the Fear Beast or the Ek'Sharei, which can launch direct mental attacks or directly destroy the foundations of buildings.

The problem is that, as Spellcasting units, these abominations can, under certain conditions, change the course of a battle.

In the battle between Ancient Shurima and the Void, the unique nature of these abominations caused the Golden Army of Ancient Shurima considerable hardship. As a result, even in Ixialia's records, these abominations were described in great detail.

After thinking for a long time, Yuan Chen took a deep breath and said:

"Let's retreat."

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Sem, who was standing to the side, nodded silently after a moment of silence.

Long before the battle even began, Yuan Chen and many other masters had conducted countless simulations.

Based on the predicted scale of the Void Creature, once the power of the Void exceeds the limit that the border lines can withstand, then the lines will lose their original function.

Especially the Void Abominations--

As special Void Creature capable of spatial teleportation, they possess not only formidable combat strength and Spellcasting abilities, but also the terrifying destructive power to summon armies and forcibly shatter battle lines.

In this situation, to win, one must achieve victory in one decisive battle...

Simply put, we must find a way to uncover, or rather force out, the Void Commander of this army.

"The front line on the southwestern border is no longer meaningful."

Sem Serm said silently:

"Nine Ascended corrupted by the Void..."

This is far beyond the capabilities of border walls to withstand. Retreat, preserve as many troops as possible, and prepare for the final battle."

As he said this, Sem Therm couldn't help but tighten his grip on his cane.

Although his voice was calm and his expression remained composed.

But anyone could sense the unease in Sem Therm's eyes.

Meanwhile, Yuan Chen pursed his lips, his eyes filled with a hint of sadness.

He knew he couldn't delay any longer...

In fact, the war was already over when these nine Ascended appeared.

Nila could hold out for a while, but Oshirresh would never let this chance to escape slip through his fingers.

Thinking it over, Yuan Chen said silently:

"Those who have taken the medicine... prepare to cover the rear."

The so-called "rear guard" was really just sending them to their deaths.

Because everyone knows that the Void has no need for so-called prisoners...

All they need is a corpse to get everything they want.

Since ancient times, a compassionate person has not commanded an army, and a righteous person has not managed finances.

But now...

Looking at the dense forest behind him, Yuan Chen knew that he had to do this now; there was no other choice, because this was the only right way.

"Recall Nila, activate the teleportation spell."

On the other side, Yishuaoken.

The colossal tower was different from before; at its very center, the Vidalion Loom were operating at full capacity.

Upward, dense energy shot from the top of the giant tower into the sky, rising to a height unseen by people, and then spreading outward, encompassing the entirety of Ixialia.

Downward, a thick, ring-shaped solidified magical force continuously swirls into a turbulent vortex, pointing straight down, seemingly unfathomable, its depths unknown.

In the middle were numerous Alloy Rings.

The ring itself, or the space, energy, and color within the ring...

Everything in this space is the Vidalion Loom itself.

Within this cylindrical space, surrounded by numerous rings, are countless energy threads that refract five colors.

A seemingly unadorned jade is located in the center of this cylindrical space, accompanied by streams of light that transform into silken threads.

Pulled by the ring, another thread was ripped from the Dark Descendant Crystal, and drops of Dark Descendant Crystal flesh appeared on its surface.

"The analysis is 52% complete."

On the huge circular stone platform surrounding the ring, numerous scholars, and even King Yuen himself, were constantly conducting observations and calculations.

In front of King Yuen, a floating stone platform composed of a combination of magical techniques was created.

This is the Monolith Core —or perhaps, the carrier of the Monolith Core during remote connection.

Yuan Chen can directly manipulate the Monolith Core through the Monolith's Protection trait, but this is limited to Yuan Chen only.

In order not to waste Malphite's powerful computing power, Yuan Chen simply left Malphite in Yishuaoken to facilitate providing more computing power for the Vidalion Loom.

As he passed the floating stone platform, King Yuen nodded wearily and said:

"Based on the analysis of the Monolith Fortress, the overall progress has now reached 63%. According to our budget..."

Before King Yuen could finish speaking, accompanied by Shimmer of energy, he quickly received a report from his King Yuen courtiers.

Upon learning that the mass teleportation ritual had begun on the southwestern border, King Yuen, who had participated in several simulations, quickly realized that the current situation was not optimistic. In an instant, a look of grief appeared on his already weary face.

Even before the war officially began, King Yuen and Yuan Chen, among others, had realized to some extent that it was unrealistic to completely destroy the Void outside of Ixialia.

Because the Outside World is unstable, Void Creature such as Void Abominations, Dreadlords, Burrowing Titan, and Xer'sai can continuously destroy and damage the battle formation.

This also includes the Void Overlord behind it... They don't even need to take the initiative to show themselves; they only need to convey their will and spirit through the Hive Herald to directly determine everything in the material realm.

In this situation, the first thing to do is to seal off the contact and connection between the Void and the veil of the material realm.

The only place capable of this is within Ixialia, a material realm that has been reinforced countless times by scholars throughout history and sealed off by Concealment Spell.

The reason for this disturbance in the Void was the massive energy fluctuations generated when the Vidalion Loom released and activated the Concealment Spell.

This energy fluctuation is imperceptible to ordinary people, but to Void Creature, it's like a firefly in the dark...

In the Void Wars thousands of years ago Ixialia severely damaged the land of Icathia with his Monolith Fortress, even tearing apart Icathia's bedrock, preventing the Void from immediately plundering the material realm and mass-producing troops.

And now...

Although it's just speculation, in the conjectures of Yuan Chen, King Yuen, Sem, and a group of Yuentar scholars, the cause of the disturbance in the Void is most likely "revenge" and "plunder".

Regardless of the purpose, the ultimate goal is the same— Yishuaoken.
