Chapter 400: Chapter 216: It’s Faith! I Added Faith to It! (6k)_3
However, just as they suddenly took out a large-scale war blessing earlier, it is uncertain what new tricks they might have up their sleeve as a surprise.
To be safe, it moved the planned attack point forward, and now, the advancing army was already close to this point.
"Initiate the first wave of harassment."
Under Little Tower’s command, the first batch of the Insect Swarm set off.
They didn’t have specific targets; they were merely tasked with dropping some primitive bombs and their own poison liquid from high altitudes.
They didn’t even expect such random drops to cause much damage.
The purpose of Little Tower’s tactic was simply to give the other side a sense of "achievement," partly to give a response and reassure the dynasty’s side, showing no traps.
It was also to create a somewhat harmful yet not serious illusion, making them think the Insect Swarm was insignificant.
Luring the opponent deeper in.
Even though the Insect Swarm had significant advantages, it wouldn’t miss out on these small details, hoping to accumulate greater advantages bit by bit.
Sure enough, under this harassment, the Dynasty Army’s advance not only didn’t slow down but showed a tendency to accelerate.
Even the front part that was attacked seemed slightly disconnected from the rear, eager to rush towards predetermined death.
Facing this group of deceived cuties, the Insect Swarm, of course, delivered the most "enthusiastic" welcome.
When the Demon Beast Ministers and Contractors in the rear vaguely saw some faint flashes in the pitch-black night sky, unsure if they were metallic reflections or Magic Power Radiance, and realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
Even though the Demon Beast Minister and Contractors in the rear realized something was amiss, the vast army wasn’t like the Insect Swarm; it couldn’t be controlled like one’s hand or arm.
In an instant, the previously non-threatening scattered Insect Swarm in the sky transformed into numerous daggers.
With torrents of Magic Bullet as the blade and explosions as the blade marks, they sliced the army below like a cake.
The Insect Swarm that had prepared on the battle line devoured slice after slice of "cake" with absolute firepower.
After consuming part of the "appetizer," Little Tower roughly assessed the level of these enhanced soldiers.
Under the suspected Power of Faith’s "fortune" protection, the power of the Insect Swarm’s Magic Bullet was much weaker.
Even using the recently researched Annihilation Bombs constructed from the latest knowledge by the witches ten minutes ago, they barely managed to kill the soldiers who reached tier 5 after enhancement.
Most of the magic power was consumed by the fortune power itself.
However, within the territory, there had been prior research on the Power of Faith, so it quickly adjusted its tactics.
Since ordinary magic power doesn’t have an advantage over Power of Faith, they stopped using magic power and switched to pure physical impact, which treats everyone equally.
They no longer used Magic Bullets as the main offensive means, but switched to the more primitive Alloy Kinetic Bullets. Although the light and shadow effects were reduced significantly, the kill efficiency actually increased considerably.
Unfortunately, this inevitably resulted in metal consumption.
This metal was derived from what the swarm extracted, consuming their own accumulations.
Even though preparations were made before the war, the high offensive efficiency of the Insect Swarm also equaled high consumption.
Although Little Tower had already arranged for the Insect Swarm to construct corresponding Metal Simulated Arrays within their bodies, using all the magic reserves originally meant for the Magic Guns to replenish metal.
But due to output efficiency, it could only delay the extent of consumption.
This also destined that the Insect Swarm couldn’t use it wantonly, only replacing some of the Alloy Kinetic Bullets amid the varied rains of Magic Bullets.
The main offensive means still had to rely on Magic Bullets.
This realization also made it aware of a shortcoming of the Insect Swarm, planning to consult with its Queen to cultivate some new functional subraces after the war’s conclusion.
However, the immediate priority was to bring victory to the Queen, as always.
But soon, it discovered a new problem.
It noticed that the Power of Faith on the dead soldiers was transferring back to the living soldiers at the rear.
This resulted in increasingly dense fortune on the soldiers in subsequent charges, and relying on their resistance to Magic Bullets, they managed to gradually advance the battle line through accumulated casualties.
Even though the Dynasty Army lost nearly a hundred thousand ordinary soldiers in a few minutes, the distance had been reduced from a thousand meters, when the Insect Swarm started attacking, to less than eight hundred meters.
But this complete information was obtained by Little Tower through the shared vision of all the Insect Swarm.
However, the rear of the Dynasty Army, from the perspective of the Demon Beast Ministers and Contractors still on the front line, was a different world.
The powerful attack initially unleashed by the Insect Swarm surprised them all, amazed not only at the Insect Swarm’s ability to wield firearms.
But also that it seemed not to be ordinary technological side weapons, but Magic Side firearms.
While technology wasn’t that ordinary.
Even the worldly Contractors had never witnessed such a large-scale war centered on Magic Firearms.
The initial burst of output caused an evident loss in the eyes of the Demon Beasts capable of perceiving fortune, who were in high positions.
But fortunately, that burst was like the nuclear bomb they threw at the start; the density of those flashing points had significantly decreased afterward.
