MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 1770: The Great Battle Begins



Although the Worm Lord is formidable in ground attacks, it has almost no resistance against air units; even the weakest air units can defeat the Worm Lord.

However, Li Yao's air force is strong enough; the Worm Lord's ability to destroy buildings alone is already a formidable auxiliary unit.

Li Yao's air force is quite formidable, with Dragons, Gryphons, and fighter jets capable of engaging any air units head-on. Especially with the evolution of the Queen Worm, their abilities have been further enhanced, becoming aces.

Particularly, there are two hundred Steel Frost Giant Dragons, breakers that can dispel, and hunters that can assassinate.

This gives Li Yao an absolute advantage in air battles.

It can be said that the fusion of the Worm Tribe and steel allows Li Yao's army to possess comprehensive forces for air, ground, and even underground battles.

Li Yao's plan is to wage war to sustain war; the initial battles were not only to confuse the enemy but primarily to continue accumulating energy units. Now, though there are many energy units, they are still far from having the force needed to conquer the main city.

Li Yao's ultimate ideal state is for his private army to break through the ten million mark, which would give him some confidence. The final battle for the main city is bound to be extremely fierce, and even ten million might not be enough.

Li Yao envisions that by the time they reach the Ogre Main City, the Destroyers and Thunder Beasts will each number four million, giving him some confidence against the unrivaled ground combat power of the Ogre Legion.

The ground combat power of the Ogres is unparalleled, even more violent and formidable than Tauren and Orcs—a veritable humanoid tank.

Moreover, the Ogre ground forces are well-equipped, with melee classes using Fist Savage Warriors and long-handled weapons Berserkers.

The long-range Magician forces are formidable, along with Hunter units, and even a few Shamans.

They possess strong vitality and combat power, with high-level Ogres having two heads, making their combat power even more explosive.

Even among many alien races, they rank as one of the top five combat races, exceptionally domineering.

Li Yao's ground forces don't need to defeat the opponent, but at the very least, they cannot be overwhelmed by them.

Utilizing the weakness of the Ogre Air Force is also why Li Yao is heavily strengthening his air force.

In the air force, the number of Gryphons is fixed; Xiaoman returned to the tribe and brought back tens of thousands of Gryphons, forming a legion of a hundred thousand Gryphons.

This hundred-thousand Gryphon Legion, Li Yao plans to pair with his Dark Rangers to enhance combat power.

There is no change in the number of Steel Frost Giant Dragons, which remains at two hundred.

The Black Dragon Queen, seeing the Blue Dragon Queen with her guard, reluctantly found her son and forcibly brought in eight hundred Black Dragons.

These Black Dragons are not as formidable as the Ice Dragons, but their numbers are sufficient, totaling a thousand when combined, and can only be used as special forces.

The main aerial forces are Dragons; Li Yao's plan is for two million Dragons.

Finally, if there is additional capacity, enough Hunters and Breakers will be produced, with special Worm Tribe parasites always having several hundred thousand ready, as they are quick to produce, consume less energy units, and are highly adaptable.

As for other special forces, their numbers are few and cannot grow, as they were all subdued by Li Yao.

For instance, hundreds of thousands of Skeleton warriors, hundreds of thousands of Abominations, two hundred thousand Banshees, one hundred thousand Tunnel Lords, two hundred thousand Legion of Death Knights, and one hundred thousand Dark Rangers.

These forces are no longer suitable to stay with the Withered Sun Legion, and the Ghost Land has begun to rejuvenate.

These forces are already sufficient to handle player battles but cannot serve as the main force in the main city battle, only as special units.

Hundreds of thousands of Skeleton warriors will serve as the regular defense force for the Drying Sun, and Li Yao intends to allocate Abominations to others in the guild.

The Tunnel Lords can lead Destroyers and Thunder Beasts, as they are similar and don't conflict in attack modes.

Banshees will become Li Yao's personal Mage group, with the hundred thousand Dark Rangers equipped with Gryphons as his Guard group, as the Withered Sun Legion's guard group cannot protect him in this battle.

The two hundred thousand Legion of Death Knights serve as a trump card for critical moments.

Of course, this is Li Yao's ideal state; currently, his forces don't even reach five million.

He needs time, and this time the feint battle is precisely how he accumulates time.

It's another morning, and countless people are gathered outside the Undercity.

In fact, since last night, those powerful players who didn't want to follow the main guilds have already begun launching major battles.

From yesterday, the three major factions have launched a counterattack against the Chaos Camp. The battles are ongoing, and now you can see the flames of war in any neutral map.

However, the various races of the Chaos Camp were well prepared, with the players of chaotic races having long received camp supplies, capturing cities and exponentially increasing their power.

It's not just siege warfare; the fierce alien players of the Chaos Camp even proactively intercept players of the three major factions at key paths.

So far, the battles are deadlocked.

The three major factions are desperately competing for cities for the benefits promised by their camps, while the players of the Chaos Camp battle fiercely to keep their interests and resources.

The Chaos Camp still holds an absolute advantage by relying on city resources and walls.

After a day of fighting, the cities recaptured by the three major factions are scarce; even the few cities they managed to reclaim were recaptured by the alien players of the Chaos Camp, leading to a tug-of-war.

The main forces need to be organized and deployed and naturally don't have the efficiency of a single guild or a few guilds kicking off a battle. But they aren't anxious, as having decided to join the main forces means they understand there's no need to worry about a lack of major battles.

Now, what is piquing the curiosity of these guild members is which main city Li Yao will choose to attack; however, given their proximity to the Undercity, they feel Li Yao might attack the Lizardmen's main city because it's so close to the Undercity.

Li Yao had put in significant effort during the Lizardmen's descent and had animosity with Lizardmen players. Being the Queen's inheritor and due to their gathering location, they naturally speculated that Li Yao's target for attack was the Lizardmen's city, which is precisely the outcome Li Yao wanted to see.

As the sun rose, two Air Fortresses slowly came into view of the crowd.

Li Yao stood on the Drying Sun's deck, looking down at the crowd below and said under the influence of magic, "Very well, it seems the elite of each guild is present. I won't waste words; since the flames of war already engulf elsewhere, we can't remain idle, the grand battle begins immediately."

A guild leader below shouted, "Why not let us go all out? A level 5 guild can only hold ten thousand elite players, but below level 5, only five thousand people."

Li Yao nodded, "Because we are not in a hurry to attack the main city directly now, our forces need to coordinate and integrate, and I also need to adapt to directing so many legions. More importantly, gentlemen, having chosen to join the main forces, regardless of your reasons, in my view, you're showing me respect, standing on the same front line as me; we share glory and loss. I won't let you suffer losses, so I've decided to first capture some cities as a performance reward for the outstanding troops at the end of the campaign."

Whoa...

A buzz went through the crowd, who didn't expect such plans from Li Yao, proposing to conquer some cities as rewards for them. Capturing occupied cities would grant them a portion of the city tax revenue, and taking chaos camp cities could allow the guild to participate in city management...
