198: Chapter 198 The Floating City Presses In!

Although the health of the Iron Hoof Knights was not low, the self-destruction damage of the Winged Guards was true damage.

With a single dive, the flanking troops were directly blown into a two-kilometer-long vacuum zone.

"No!"

Xing Tu ordered the entire army to accelerate and break through the harassing defense line.

But just during this moment of pause...

Beep!

On Xu Qin's command panel, a line of golden prompts flashed.

[Wraith Will has been fully stacked!]

[Undead units fallen in this battle have exceeded 60,000!]

[Entire army attack power +60%!]

Looking at this number, Xu Qin chuckled and said,

"Very good!"

He directly closed the prompt for Wraith Will and opened the organizational list of the Necro-Beetles.

More than two million Beetles were currently scattered underground across his own trench defense line and the enemy's territory.

Xu Qin directly gave the order.

"Entire army, abandon tunneling."

"Switch to ground advance."

"Target... Xing Tu's core buildings."

At the same time the order was given, Xu Qin clicked on the newly unlocked level 14 skill.

[Soul Energy Empowerment]!

"Target... Necro-Beetles, all of them!"

Hum!!!

A layer of dark purple light spread out from the command panel, instantly covering all the Necro-Beetles across the entire battlefield.

[Soul Energy Empowerment applied target: Necro-Beetles × 2,437,600]

[soul energy consumed: 48,752,000]

[Effect: All attributes +22%, lasting until the end of this battle.]

The moment he pressed it, 48 million soul energy points were directly deducted.

Xu Qin didn't even blink.

Because the stacked Beetle panel had already turned into a terrifying number.

With the base attack enhanced by 25% from the Level 3 Star Lord, 60% from Wraith Will, and 22% from Soul Energy Empowerment,

the total attack power directly broke three thousand.

And the health value also directly increased to nearly 46,000.

Multiplying the self-destruction damage by 750%...

Goodness, 340,000?

Xu Qin laughed out loud directly.

"It should be enough."

...

Rumbling!

On his side of the clash line, the earth split open.

Over two million Necro-Beetles poured out simultaneously from the trenches and behind the defense line.

The grayish-black wave crossed the clash line and rushed into Xing Tu's emerald-green grassland.

"Squeak!!!"

Jiafeng stood at the very front of the swarm, his front limbs held high.

[Swarm Command]!

Attack speed +40%!

Swarm Instinct stacking +30%!

26,000 vanguard Beetles lunged straight at Xing Tu's core cluster of buildings.

At the same time...

"All forces, Charge!"

Xu Qin's order was conveyed to every hero through the command panel.

In the rear, War Rhino let out a neigh, leading the iron-rhinoceros-type Stitched Bone Beast legion in a straight Charge.

Manniu carried a giant axe and detoured from the west with 5,000 Soul-Eater Battle Skeletons.

Jackal Hunter and Blade Guard each led a column of Soul-Eater Battle Skeletons to flank from the east.

The Bone Beast army and the Necro-Beetles advanced together on all fronts.

...

Seeing this scene, the starlight within Xing Tu's spiritual body suddenly flared up.

While terrified, it also secretly rejoiced.

Very good, the opponent finally abandoned the trench tactic and chose a frontal assault.

This was precisely the scene it had been expecting.

"Entire army, counterattack!"

Xing Tu ordered.

"Ranged concentrated fire... do not let the swarm get close!"

250,000 Centaur Archers drew their bows simultaneously.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The rain of arrows filled the sky.

- 2,800!

- 2,700!

- 2,900!

The Beetles began to suffer battle losses.

But before Xing Tu had time to rejoice, it discovered a new problem.

That was its archers couldn't reach them effectively.

When more than two million Beetles spread out frontally, the injured ones automatically slowed down, letting the ones in the rear take their place.

Under such density, the firepower of 250,000 archers was instantly diluted to a point that was almost negligible.

And the movement speed of the Beetles was likewise extremely fast.

In merely thirty seconds, the Beetle vanguard had already approached the archers' defense line.

Xing Tu immediately adjusted its tactics.

"Priests cast shields! Warriors press forward! Stop them!"

58,000 Centaur Priests simultaneously cast Earth Shield.

The golden shield light curtain enveloped tens of thousands of Centaur Warriors in the front row.

"As long as we endure the first wave of impact, my army can launch a counterattack!" Xing Tu judged this way.

But at this very moment...

Boom!!!

A giant black shadow descended from the sky, charging directly above the Beetle army.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qin actually directly controlled the Floating City to cross the clash line and Charge over.

"All shields fully activated!"

Hum!

The Floating City's shield with one million durability fully expanded.

The arrows of the Centaur Archers all slammed into the shield...

Absorbed!

Absorbed!

Absorbed!

...

The Floating City, like a moving giant shield, blocked directly in front of the Beetle army.

Seeing the Floating City advance, Xing Tu's starlight violently fluctuated.

This completely exceeded its calculations.

What is the situation?

What lord uses their own core building as a shield to push forward?

But Xu Qin did not care what the opponent thought.

Anyway, the Floating City's shield was used to absorb damage, so using it to block all ranged firepower was completely reasonable.

Rumbling, the Beetles easily approached beneath the shield.

Ten seconds later...

Over two million Necro-Beetles collided head-on with the Centaur army.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Self-destruction sounds exploded one after another.

- 345,000!

- 345,000!

- 345,000!

...

The fallen Beetles directly burst out with 345,000 true damage, and those Centaur Warriors and Centaur Archers began to die in patches.

That pitiful 3,300-point shield value was as brittle as paper in front of the 345,000 true damage.

The armies of both sides became thoroughly entangled.

The high mobility advantage of the Centaur Clan vanished completely in the close-quarters melee.

They wanted to run, but they couldn't get away.

Because Beetles were everywhere.

Kill one, and a whole patch would explode.

If they didn't fight back, they would be eaten to death.

Every second, thousands of Beetles died in battle.

But every second, tens of thousands of Centaur Warriors were also blown into fragments of flesh.

Xu Qin stood on the deck of the Floating City, looking at the battlefield soaring with purple light before him with a cold expression.

"Charge! Push straight to the core buildings."

The order was given.

The Floating City continued to press forward.

The Beetle army followed behind the Floating City, fighting while advancing.

The defense line of the Centaur Clan began to retreat.

They wanted to retreat and regroup.

But how could Xu Qin give them a chance to retreat?

War Rhino, leading the Stitched Bone Beasts, had long since charged in from the flank.

Manniu's Soul-Eater Battle Skeletons, along with the units of Jackal Hunter and Blade Guard, also entered the fray.

They were the true main force of this battle!

Facing the encirclement of the Undead Army, the Centaur legion's active range grew smaller and smaller, and their battle losses began to rise in an avalanche.

...

Above the core building cluster.

Xing Tu looked at the rapidly decreasing number of troop units on its panel and made its final decision.

"Guards! Follow me!"

Its translucent body suddenly solidified.

The Protoss race's racial ability... temporary materialization.

Having materialized, Xing Tu mounted a starlight warhorse; it intended to personally lead 20,000 elite Iron Hoof Knights to break through the Floating City!

As long as the Floating City was destroyed, the war would end.

Hum!

The 20,000 Iron Hoof Knights charged at full speed.

Their hooves trampled the turf, pushing their speed to the extreme.

Xu Qin stood on the Watchtower, narrowing his eyes slightly as he looked at the surging silver cavalry torrent rushing towards him.

"You dare come?"

"You're courting death!"
