The First Legion Annihilation Battle (Part 2)

"Legion Commander Yarman, since the enemy's trail has been discovered, why haven't you ordered an attack to let these damned beasts taste the terror of humanity?" Taren asked with a smile.

Yarman nodded and scanned the group, noticing the same question in everyone's eyes, and explained with a smile, "Everyone, before I led the army out, I collected information on the combat methods of these magical beasts. When the beasts breached the main city of Morton, the main attacking force was no less than four hundred thousand. Of course, these are descriptions from the fleeing remnants, so they are surely exaggerated. But even so, if we discount that, it was still an army of two hundred thousand. And now, look, everyone: the beasts around our camp number no more than three thousand!"

Yarman paused and stood up from his seat. "What does this mean? It means the commander of these beasts possesses a decent tactical mind. They know to probe before attacking. If we had set up an empty camp here—an empty camp full of traps—they wouldn't have suffered heavy losses. To be precise, three thousand is only enough to scratch their surface..."

"So, you mean..." Thomas still seemed somewhat confused.

Yarman raised an eyebrow; in fact, he thought he had made himself quite clear.

It seems that humans are indeed not omnipotent. Even if you talk to a learned mage about a peculiar species in a remote forest, they can talk your ear off, but clearly, even their ocean-like knowledge has blind spots.

Looking at the beasts remaining motionless on the magic-projected Mirror Reflection, Yarman patiently explained to the group, "Since the magical beasts have chosen to attack, even if it's a sneak attack, three thousand beasts are certainly no match for my eighteen thousand regular troops, especially since they now know of our mages' presence. Therefore, when these three thousand beasts approach our camp unscathed, they won't launch an immediate attack. Instead, they will use the same method to bring the main beast army closer, and then launch a fierce and deadly night raid. Of course, with the assistance of everyone here, their plan will be nothing but wishful thinking. When the main army approaches our camp, that will be the prelude to your magic exchange conference!"

Thomas nodded and said with a thick-skinned grin, "Haha, Legion Commander Yarman's plan is exactly what I thought. Very well, should we return to our respective camps now and let our mages prepare?"

Yarman nodded. "Of course, but I hope everyone's movements will be discreet. Do not let these beasts discover that we already know their movements. Of course, as powerful and mysterious mages, I believe this is not a problem for you..."

The six guild masters returned to their tents, and simultaneously, waves of mental energy rippled out from within.

As time passed, the night grew deeper. At 3:00 AM, three thousand Zergling had been lying motionless outside the camp for an hour. If not for the Mirror Reflection faithfully reflecting all of this, Yarman would have been tempted to send scouts to observe.

"They aren't planning to lie in wait all night, are they..."

Beside Yarman, Swadi asked with a frown.

Yarman shook his head with a smile. "Of course not. Although the vegetation in this meadow is lush, they will be exposed once the sun rises!"

Just as the two were talking, the beast swarm finally showed movement again!

The beasts at the very front slowly poked their heads out, their mouths opening and closing, yet they made no sound. A hundred meters away, at the tail end of the three thousand beasts, a bug seemed to receive an order, immediately lifting its head and performing the same action...

Immediately after, a vast, dark mass of Zergling began to infiltrate the surroundings of the camp...

"Very good, these guys have finally moved!" Yarman clapped his hands, saying with a hint of excitement. "Swadi, you can signal now..."

"Shoo..."

In the Mirror Reflection, a fiery red arrow pierced the silent night, lighting up the gray sky, accurately hitting the Zergling swarm seventy meters outside the camp, and then exploding into a massive fireball with a boom!

In an instant, at least thirty Zergling were swallowed by the fireball!

Following that arrow, thousands of fireballs, ice arrows, lightning bolts, and wind blades transformed into a colorful, dazzling belt of magic, slamming fiercely into the Zergling army a hundred meters away!

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!"

Explosions followed one after another, as if the ground had been bombarded by a hundred cannons. Although these thousands of spells were of lower rank, they caused the death of at least ten thousand Zergling!

"ROAR ROAR ROAR!" The lead red Zergling suddenly raised its head and let out a roar. The Zergling army, suppressing its bloodthirsty cravings, immediately leaped out, transforming into a black ocean as they charged toward the camp!

Sixty meters. The closest Zergling were only sixty meters from the edge of the camp—a distance they could cover in just four or five breaths!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." As the magic rose, the soldiers who should have been in deep sleep suddenly rushed out of their tents fully Armament. The heavy infantry, holding shields nearly as tall as a person, quickly formed a formation, creating an iron wall before the Zergling could charge into the camp!

"Everyone, the welcome ceremony is over. It is time to let these lowly beasts witness the power of human magic. Everyone, the Keren Kingdom Magic Exchange Conference, begins now!" Yarman's shout was filled with a fervor that made one's blood boil.

The mages, who had been fighting individually, immediately stopped casting low-level spells. Under the direction of their respective guild masters, they began to brew large-scale war magic!

In the distance, a large number of Overlord swarmed in from all directions, and a full 3D panoramic view of the entire battlefield immediately appeared in Ye Luo's mind. At this moment, as all the mages were preparing war magic, no one was providing vision support for Swadi, and Swadi's sniper-like ability could finally no longer be utilized!

"My Emperor, there are six war spells in total. The Keren Kingdom Magic Guild has eleven seconds of incantation time remaining, the Sidi Magic Guild has fifteen seconds, the Kleberd Magic Guild has sixteen seconds..."

Ye Wang clearly relayed the magic fluctuations discovered through elemental monitoring to Ye Luo! Six war spells—if released, they could destroy nearly one hundred thousand Zergling in an instant. And under the protection of the heavy infantry, even if Ye Luo sent out one million Zergling, they would only become targets for the major magic guilds...

Regarding this, Ye Luo suddenly felt a bit fortunate that he had made preparations; otherwise, even if he won this war, it would only be a narrow victory! He would have lost a massive number of Zergling!

With Thomas at the center, nearly two hundred mages stood around him. The fire energy condensed by their staves was all being transmitted toward Thomas. Ten meters in the void in front of Thomas, a massive fire-element magic inscription with a diameter of ten meters was about to take shape!

Just then, a stranger wearing black armor suddenly walked toward Thomas.

"Hey, who are you!" The captain responsible for protecting Thomas and the others, as arranged by Yarman, immediately pointed at the man and asked.

The man revealed a kind smile but did not speak. He raised his left and right hands, making a gesture of surrender, but his left hand suddenly pointed toward his right hand!

"Clang!" Suddenly, his right hand clenched into a fist, and three one-foot-long steel blades pierced out from between his fingers!

"I am the person you are looking for, Ye Luo!"
