Chapter 249: Cutting Off the Tail to Survive

If the battle between the Naga and Skeleton tribes continues as it is now, the Skeleton tribe will be defeated if they don’t have a trump card.

But in terms of trump cards and strength, the Naga tribe is not inferior to the Skeleton tribe.

It depends on the Skeleton tribe’s choice whether to stop the loss in time or to do whatever it takes.

Failure in such a battle between camps will have a great impact on the luck of the race. The gap between the strength of the Naga and Skeleton tribes will be widened.

The Skeleton tribe has basically figured out the situation of the Zerg Destroyer. If they want to avoid such a terrible defeat, they must first deal with the Zerg Destroyer, the most threatening one in the Naga army.

The Zerg Destroyer is too far away from the Skeleton army, and ordinary attacks can’t reach it at all. The flying troops with limited manpower were beaten by the five-star Zerg Destroyer, and their strength was greatly weakened, so they have not been deployed.

Faced with such a battle situation, the flying arms of the Skeleton Army had to give it a try, trying to exchange their lives for some Zerg destroyers.

Wu Qing could clearly see that nearly 200,000 Skeleton Birds flew towards the Naga Army under the cover of the Death Mist.

Five thousand five-star Zerg destroyers accurately predicted the flight path of the Skeleton Birds. They launched a salvo, and nearly half of the liquid fireball shells collided with the flying Skeleton Birds, causing an air explosion.

The violent explosion stirred the mist, blew down a large number of Skeleton Birds, and reduced the number of Skeleton Birds flying to about 150,000.

The 150,000 Skeleton Birds that survived and could continue to fight flew out of the Death Mist at high speed, and flew towards the Zerg destroyers close to the top of the Naga Army.

Ultra-low-altitude and high-speed flight can avoid most anti-aircraft fire attacks, making the attack difficulty of the small number of air defense forces with a range of fire greatly increased.

Wu Qing had never thought that these skeleton birds would carry out ultra-low altitude and high-speed raids. Even if the Zerg Hydralisks were hit by this move, their combat effectiveness would be greatly affected.

Obviously, with the Naga army's understanding of the Skeleton Army, they have a response plan for this attack method of the Skeleton Birds. The Naga mage troops reasonably distributed around the Zerg Destroyer phalanx cast various highly targeted magic in the low-altitude area.

Those skeleton birds flying at ultra-low altitude and high speed rushed into the magic like suicide. Countless skeleton birds fell on the spot and became the prey of the Naga army.

Precise shooter troops like the Feather Tribe Archers can seize the short attack opportunity, shoot down a large number of skeleton birds, and make up for the loopholes in the magic attack.

Under such tight anti-aircraft firepower, the number of skeleton birds that can successfully break through the defense circle through layers of interception is not much.

These lucky skeleton birds found that if they want to get close to the Zerg Destroyer, they still need to fly over a no-man's land.

As they flew into the no-man's land without hesitation, lightning magic fell all over the sky.

These terrifying lightning magics almost shot down all the surviving skeleton birds, and many skeleton birds turned directly into ashes under the continuous attack of lightning.

There were very few skeleton birds that were lucky enough to fly to the side of the Zerg destroyer. When they couldn't wait to use energy to attack the huge Zerg destroyer, they found that their attacks had very limited effects on the Zerg destroyer.

Several teams of powerful feathered cavalry archers rushed over and shot down all the last skeleton birds with a few arrows.

After landing, several skeleton birds still had some fighting power and wanted to attack the Zerg destroyer with bone claws. The Zerg destroyer who was attacking from a distance casually used thick limbs to pierce their skeletons and disappeared into light.

In the real world, Zerg basically have a certain melee ability.

The Naga tribe's protection of the Zerg destroyer is indeed in place. Under this attack of the skeleton birds, only a few Zerg destroyers suffered minor external injuries.

The Skeleton Army lost the Skeleton Bird, an aerial assault unit, and had no way to attack the Zerg destroyers.

It was almost impossible for the Skeleton Army's ground troops to rush over.

Their long-range attack units could not reach them.

Those Skeleton Mage masters, with their current strength, could not cast such long-range attack magic.

If the strong men in the tribe were allowed to take action, the Naga tribe's strong men, who had been waiting to expand the results of the war, would be just what they wanted.

Looking at the battle situation on the front battlefield, the Skeleton Army was constantly attacked by the Zerg destroyers. In terms of the number of troops and the state of the soldiers, the Skeleton Army was not at the same level as the Naga Army, and was constantly slaughtered by the Naga Army.

If it were not for the interference of the Death Mist, the Naga Army would have started a counterattack long ago.

When the Skeleton Army's strength dropped below three million, the Skeletons finally made a decision that they would retreat!

The Skeleton Army stopped attacking the firepower net set up by the Zerg Destroyers and began to retreat under the cover of the Death Mist.

But all this was under the watchful eyes of the Zerg Host. Without receiving orders from the Naga Clan’s high-level officials, the Zerg Destroyers suddenly projected all their firepower to the farthest distance, forming a tight firepower net behind the Skeleton Army.

"No. 3? What's going on?"

Seeing the Zerg Destroyers change their attack targets, Naga asked Host No. 3.

"The enemy ran away!"

Wu Qing responded through Host No. 3.

Naga did not question Wu Qing's answer, but immediately reported the matter.

It was not surprising that the Naga clan leaders received this news. Under such an unfavorable battlefield situation, the probability that the Skeleton clan would choose to retreat voluntarily was very high.

After it was determined that the target of the Zerg Destroyer's attack had been transferred, the Skeleton Army's offensive on the front line was not strengthened. The Naga leaders immediately ordered the Naga Army to begin a full-scale counterattack.

The Naga mage in the Naga army, who had never taken action on the front line, cast a set of battlefield magic with terrifying lethality, and instantly cleared away the Skeleton army soldiers fighting on the front line.

The Skeleton Clan army also realized that the Naga Clan had seen through their retreat intention, and immediately adopted the tactic of cutting off their tails to survive, sending nearly a million Skeleton Clan troops to counterattack against the Naga Clan army that had entered the mist of death.

"The skeleton army cut off its tail to survive, and nearly a million troops counterattacked!"

Wu Qing warned Nagaya through Host No. 3. He commanded five thousand five-star Zerg Destroyers, immediately changed the target of attack, and launched an attack in the area with the densest concentration of the counterattacking Skeleton Army.

The skeleton army fights in the fog of death and has an extremely favorable home field advantage. The nearly one million counterattacking skeleton army poses a great threat to the Naga army.

"Don't worry, as long as we can win this war, our clan can still bear some losses!"

She said this to Wu Qing after passing the information upwards.

Nagaya has determined that the Zerg have the ability to eliminate the interference of the Death Mist and obtain real-time intelligence on the Skeleton Army in the Death Mist.

In this world, years of wars have made many people have a low regard for the value of life.

On this battlefield, millions of star-strength lives were lost. Both the enemy and us were indifferent and didn't care much. What they cared about was the outcome of this war.

For Wu Qing, since the Nagas themselves do not attach much importance to the losses of the army, he has nothing to say. What he can do now is to eliminate as many enemies as possible and obtain more resources from this battlefield.

To achieve this goal, the key is not to let the skeleton army run away.

The main attack target of the Zerg Destroyers is the retreating enemies. Wu Qing commands 5,000 five-star Zerg Destroyers, specializing in attacking the skeleton troops that attack the Zerg Destroyer fire net. He must not allow too many enemies to escape. .

The ones supporting the Naga army in the battle were replaced by tens of thousands of one-star Zerg Destroyers. Under the command of the Queen of Insects, they blew up the nearly one million skeleton army soldiers fighting against the Naga army one by one.

An attack like the one-star Zerg Destroyer, no matter how much damage it can cause, will at least mark the soldiers of the Skeleton Army as having been harmed by the Zerg, making it easier for the system to obtain resources.

Of course, the Naga army was not blindly confident. They entered the fog of death and immediately consumed a large amount of luck beads, using the power of the luck formation to dispel the fog of death.

With such a huge gap in strength between the two sides, the Naga army sent a large number of mages and long-range troops to the front line to provide powerful long-range fire support for the Naga warriors fighting on the front line.

Coupled with the impact of the constant attacks of the Zerg saboteurs, it is very difficult for the skeleton army's counterattack to cause much damage to the Naga army.

However, with the obstruction of this part of the Skeleton Clan army sent to the door, the Skeleton Clan's goal of delaying the Naga Clan army's attack speed was indeed achieved.

…

In Area 108 of the Public Battlefield of the Southern War Zone, on the way from the main city to the 66th city, the situation encountered by the Zerg army forced Wu Qing to leave the Naga battlefield and put his consciousness into the Zerg clone.

The battle between the Zerg tribe and the Skeleton tribe on the battlefield can be left to the command of the Zerg Queen. Wu Qing no longer needs to worry about the situation on the battlefield there.

The first thing Wu Qing did when he came over was to upgrade all the newly hatched three-star Zerg Queens and one hundred Zerg Explosive Mosquitoes to five-star levels.

By the way, transport hosts, some ordinary hosts, 1,900 Zerg Hydralisks and 1,000 Zerg flying dragons are also upgraded to five stars.

Wu Qinggang made a lot of resources from the Naga tribe, and the gains on the battlefield were also very large. The current system resources are very sufficient.

The reason why Wu Qing continued to strengthen the special units, flying and air defense units of the Zerg army was because the Zerg hosts scattered around for reconnaissance and early warning discovered thousands of Bright Griffin Knights, quietly approaching in the direction of the Zerg army, preparing to launch an attack Raid.
