The large-scale magical instruments of the Wood Dynasty had long been established, and only minor improvements had been made over the past few hundred years. There had been no significant increase in their power. However, Owen Bertram’s latest modification had almost completely excavated the potential of these instruments.
Of course, he had seen the power of the large-scale magical instruments refined by the Military Equipment Department. The ones he presided over were truly incomparable to the ones crafted by Otis King and his team. It was no wonder that the artificers of the Military Equipment Department were impressed with him.
Waving the command flag constantly, he found the coordination of the three types of large-scale magical instruments to be incredibly clever. David was ecstatic: "Those Demon Beings in the valley have probably reached Tier-7 strength, but under such bombardment, they can only flee in embarrassment! Hahaha! I never expected that I, David, would also have the chance to chase after Tier-7 Demons and beat them up!"
Even though the Dandelion Demons were limited by their own restrictions, this was still quite an impressive feat.
The Dandelion had been forced to wrap its roots around itself to make up for its insufficient defense, but as the layers of roots were peeled away, it wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer.
On Owen’s side, he wasn’t in a hurry to fight the Ancient Corpse. He used various methods to entangle it and wait for the support of his "artillery troops". However, every time he heard the dense rumbling in the valley, he couldn’t help but feel heartache: Those were all Spirit Jades!
Even the Triple Heaven-tier large-scale magical instruments, which had been modified by his second-in-command, consumed a lot of Spirit Jades. After this great battle, they would consume hundreds of thousands of them.
However, as the Dandelion was too weird and posed an immense potential threat, Owen Bertram came prepared with one million Spirit Jades, determined to crush the Dandelion in battle.
He was even prepared to support the battle with Spirit Jades from his own private reserve if the million Spirit Jades were not enough. Of course, the Summit Metropolitan Office would have to reimburse him for these jades.
Inside the Ancient Corpse’s eyes, the two Dandelion umbrellas had become somewhat dull – unlike the Puppet Demon Beasts, which retained their instincts after being parasitized by the Dandelion. The Dandelion umbrellas could automatically combine with these instincts and complete their tasks independently.
However, the Ancient Corpse was different. Although it had been controlled, the Dandelion had to personally control the Ancient Corpse due to its own powerful and nearly equal "perversion" to the Dandelion’s body.
At first, the Dandelion liked controlling the humanoid creature, as it would help familiarize it with the human body. However, now it was struggling as it couldn’t spare any extra energy to control the Ancient Corpse.
The corpse’s actions became increasingly sluggish, and Owen was in no hurry to completely defeat this opponent – he judged that he would need to use the arrowhead for a decisive strike, which he was reluctant to do.
At the beginning, David and his "artillery team" were nervous, as it was their first time in battle. They wondered if they could perform well, as failure would haunt them for a lifetime.
But after their first successful attack, their spirits lifted: As it turned out, this was an entertaining experience!
One after another, they enthusiastically continued their attacks. Their targets were disorganized, unable to resist, and fleeing in panic. Gradually, however, they began to feel exhausted, weary, and bored, and the once-thrilling activity slowly became a burden.
David swung the command flag forcefully, encouraging everyone loudly: "Hang in there a little longer! As men, can’t we withstand this level of difficulty?"
The valley had already been plowed several times, and a layer of floating dust had formed. There were only a few Dandelion roots left, and it had shrunk its body and even reduced the number of umbrellas it had.
It had originally prepared many life-saving measures, such as swallowing the Demon Beasts and storing the tortoise shells and other items to be used for defense at critical moments. However, under the terrifying bombardment of the large-scale magical instruments, these methods slowly crumbled and shattered.
The Dandelion now shrank itself into a ball, wrapped in a layer of blood light, and rolled towards the water of the nearby river. It had no choice but to admit defeat and attempt to escape via the waterway.
