"Squeak squeak squeak"
"Roar roar roar"
Leo watched as the ant army passed by him, seeing the tiny but numerous soldier ants, like yellow sand sweeping across the land in the blink of an eye;
Seeing the small number of ferocious male ants constantly sensing commands with their antennae, they continuously adjusted the soldier ants' routes to launch attacks in a more efficient manner;
Seeing the plump, white queen ant, who rarely participated in the battle, appear at the rear of the army and continuously issue commands from within the army.
"This is a sneak attack using ant swarms as the unit of combat."
Yaoyao stood on Leo's shoulder, watching the ant army's march, and murmured to herself.
The ant army blots out the sun, but once you delve deeper into the army, you can see that there are very clear dividing areas among them.
Like distinct rivers, the soldier ants do not interfere with each other, and even during high-speed travel, they do not break formation.
Even a layman could see the attack power of the ant army by looking at its attack formation.
As expected of an ant army that operates on a family-based colony system, their organizational structure is clear, and their rule is rational and efficient.
Orders, issued layer by layer, can be transmitted to the smallest soldier ant combat units at almost the fastest speed.
Most creatures would be completely devoured if they encountered such an opponent.
"Boom"
When the ant army entered the dense web woven by the wizard and slave army, the wizard army instantly unleashed a powerful attack, tearing apart the vanguard of soldier ants in swathes.
The churning elemental energy, mixed with the corpses of countless soldier ants, resembled the splashes of a flash flood crashing against a dam.
The ant army roared angrily, and countless soldier ants charged toward the wizard's defensive line at top speed, but they couldn't even get close to the wizard's defensive line before they were blown to pieces.
The queen ant and the guard male ants did not charge with the soldier ants. They were at the rear of the battle line, constantly issuing attack orders to the soldier ants of their race. One by one, the soldier ants passed by the male ants. These soldier ants were destined to use their own lives to deplete the wizard's magic power.
It's only the early stages of the battle. The ant soldiers that have attacked are at most the vanguard of the vanguard. Their formation isn't very dense, so the wizards and slave army can handle them with ease. Leo can even see the battlefield in the sky through the gaps in their battle formation.
The World Lord, who was over two hundred meters tall, had arrived within ten kilometers with ten Pseudo-Level Four four male ant guards, confronting the mothership and two Level-Surpassing Amplification Magic Array that exceeded the required level.
The entire battlefield could feel the mothership's restrained energy, World Lord must have also felt the terrifying pressure within the mothership, like the prelude to a volcanic eruption.
Two hours of preparation time, though not long, is enough for the mothership to fully charge most of its secondary guns.
Even without knowing their purpose, one could sense the deadly danger emanating from the rows of energy cannons protruding from the mothership's hull and the oppressive aura they exuded.
That energy intensity would astound even Level-Four World Lord. Before figuring out the mothership's attack methods, the World Lord of the Ant God World hesitated.
Sure enough, a moment later, the three Pseudo-Level Four 100-meter male ants beside the World Lord rushed towards the mothership and the Higher-Level Amplification Magic Array.
These are three probing pieces, male ants willing to sacrifice their lives for their queen, tasked with probing the mothership's attack methods.
[The magic circle casts Elemental Confinement...]
[Three hundred secondary guns are aimed...]
Leo was constantly monitoring the information updated on the information platform when he suddenly sensed a strong energy fluctuation flashing overhead.
Within the energy field of vision, the surging energy tide could be seen suddenly stop, turning into a frozen area right beside the three male ants.
In that area, all energy ceased to flow, and even space itself hardened and solidified.
The three male ants were like maple leaves that had fallen onto the water's surface, suddenly frozen on the ice, unable to move.
In the energy world, one can see the frozen space and elements on the male ants constantly rippling in small areas, indicating that three Pseudo-Level Four male ants are forcibly breaking free from the Elemental Confinement.
On the mothership, the dark energy cannons rapidly adjusted their attack positions.
[Three hundred secondary cannons are already aimed...]
[Fire!]
"Boom boom boom"
Almost the instant the three male ants were immobilized and imprisoned, three hundred seemingly tiny beams of energy shot out from the mothership, ignoring spatial distance and arriving right in front of the three male ants.
A deafening explosion resounded through the sky, and the intense energy collision turned the sky white. By the time three hundred beams of energy pierced through the location of the three Pseudo-Level Four male ants, nothing could be seen in the sky anymore.
Three Pseudo-Level Four male ants were completely vaporized and disappeared in a single concentrated attack from three hundred secondary cannons!
"Commander Luolin is quite interesting."
Leo's gaze fell upon the World Lord. She had a total of ten Pseudo-Level Four male ant guards. Three of them died during the first attempt, and she was also startled by the sudden burst of attack power from the mothership, making her somewhat hesitant to advance.
The spiritual power of the World Lord conveying the command surged rapidly in the air, and the ant army behind it roared and charged toward the mothership at twice the speed it had just charged.
The World Lord was so frightened by the mothership's instantaneous attack that he dared not advance, so he sent an army of ants instead.
This should be the best way for her to attack: when she has completely gained the upper hand, she can send an army of ants to continuously wear down her opponent's strength and put herself in an absolutely safe position.
"What a coward! Her opponent doesn't even have level four combat power, and she still doesn't dare to step forward. I really don't know how she became the World Lord." Yaoyao looked at the World Lord was so aggressive before the fight started but became timid and dared not step forward after the fight began, and she completely looked down on her.
This is the first time I've ever seen World Lord like this!
The sky was completely obscured by the swarming ant army, and Leo could see nothing but the sudden increase in the sound of elemental explosions. The wizard defense line was increasing its attack speed.
It seems the sudden acceleration of the ant army's attack has put immense pressure on the wizard's defenses.
So much so that within just ten minutes of the battle beginning, the ant army had crossed the area affected by the witchcraft attack, forcing the slave army into close combat.
Although the battle situation was not going well, the retreat of the Level-Four World Lord meant that the situation was not as bad as they had imagined. If it continued at this intensity, the mothership could hold out until other wizard teams returned to reinforce them.
The World Lord of the Ant God World is not a combat-oriented individual with exceptional individual strength, but rather a command and summoning type based on race.
The combat power it has shown so far is more like an enlarged version of a level 3 queen ant. Apart from some mental attacks, its main body does not have any outstanding combat abilities.
It's all about overwhelming the opponent with sheer numbers and a massive troop buildup.
No matter how many opponents she has defeated in this way before, the Wizard World will never be defeated in this way.
Because the wizard's combat system also incorporates the strategy of massing troops, countless slaves serve as the wizard's soldiers.
The difference is that the World Lord of the Ant God World relies solely on the mass army strategy, while for wizards, the mass army strategy is just one of many methods.
Given the current situation, Leo had already relieved half of his anxiety, as the chances of defeating this World Lord were increasing. The remaining anxiety stemmed from what the World Lord had inadvertently revealed in his words: the fact that the two Stigmata Wizard were trapped.
There are three World Lord in the Ant God World, but only one has appeared so far. Does this mean that the remaining two World Lord the Ant God World managed to trap a level 5 and a Level Four Stigmata Wizard?
If this is indeed the case, the dangers of the Ant God World must be reassessed.
In terms of normal combat power, World Lord of equal number and level could not possibly be a match for Stigmata Wizard.
Wizards' understanding and application of the rules is at a level unmatched by other life forms.
There are only two possibilities for this situation: either the World Lord lied and the two Stigmata Wizard were not trapped, or the Ant God World used methods unknown to them to trap the two Stigmata Wizard with the help of external forces.
Considering that Luolin said there had been no news from the two Stigmata Wizard for several years, although unwilling to admit it, Leo still leaned towards the second possibility: what methods did the World Lord of the Ant God World use to trap the two World Lord?
"We've got enough; it's time to make our move." Yaoyao, who was constantly watching the battle outside, reminded Leo Leo as he pondered.
Leo looked out into the Ant God World from the shadows. The ant army had already piled up hundreds of meters high, layer upon layer, charging towards the wizard's defensive line.
They are like the rising tide, constantly reaching new heights, each wave higher than the last, until one wave eventually engulfs the mothership.
The slave army of the wizard front frantically resisted these bloodthirsty soldier ants. The warships and wizards in the sky, seemingly disregarding their own magical power, unleashed every spell they could cast into the ant army as if it were free.
Even if the most powerful witchcraft were thrown into the current ant army, it would be like a small stone thrown into the sea, causing little to no hindrance beyond creating a few splashes.
By sensing the controlled puppets like Benji, Mahad's position was relatively far back, a safer position within the entire wizard army's lines.
Looking at the ant army outside, just as Yaoyao had said, the number was sufficient. Leo stepped out and instantly returned to the main battlefield from the shadows.
"I'm ready to get started. Half an hour countdown begins!"
"Received. Please be careful, Master Leo."
Leo sent the message through the information platform, put away the crystal ball, and looked at the army of ants around him with a ferocious smile.
