Chapter 591: Chapter 264: Clear Spring Altar_2
He even considered the possibility of replicating his mechanical units’ weapons directly based on the ones that were destroyed.
However, he never expected that the opponent would counter with a long-range strategy just as strong as his.
The terrifying energy explosion that spanned a great distance and landed in his Mechanical Army immediately shattered his “shooter dream.”
“Ha, neither the magic energy disaster nor the charging Mechanical Brain Worm managed to teach these mechanical units to disperse. And now, in just one round of Fusion Cannon fire, they’ve finally learned their lesson…”
Watching the mechanical units scatter rapidly in the distance to minimize each loss, Bai Yi spoke with a calm smile.
Once they’re no longer gathered together, the mechanical units’ firepower suddenly became much more sparse, and the pressure on the Insect Swarm at the front line abruptly decreased.
This was merely a very simple open scheme.
This batch of Tier Six mechanical quality was indeed very high, and even she had to admit that.
Even though no single mechanical unit could match the Insect Swarm, when grouped together, under relentless firepower, the output of just a dozen mechanical units was enough to kill an Insect Clan.
Under the dense output of the mechanical swarm, the front-line Insect Swarm taking damage couldn’t even take advantage of their rotation shielding tactics.
Although overall the situation looked quite sharp, needing a dozen mechanical units to take down a single Insect Clan, the opposite side’s rapidity couldn’t be denied. Killing just one allowed for immediate target switching.
Whether it was Flash Brother of the previous Mechanical Brain Worm or the later triggered magic energy disaster, both aimed to disrupt the opponent’s formation.
Yet, unexpectedly, they all had countermeasures ready.
Fortunately, the final Magic Fusion Cannon successfully broke apart the formation of the Mechanical Forces…
However, since the goal has now been achieved, continuing to use such wide-range bombardment is no longer worthwhile.
“Switch to rapid-fire mode…”
With an order, all the Insect Swarm and Mechanical Brain Worms that were ready began pouring out their magic power.
This new equipment was not just about the single-target sniper cannon damage but also included multi-shot weapons utilizing Magic Fusion Technology!
Though as newly developed First Generation weapons, they are now only considered prototypes with not too much power, they were already sufficient against these fragile mechanical units!
With the formation now scattered, those mechanical units basically became living targets, lasting only a few seconds of concentrated fire before being destroyed in the next moment.
It can only wait for subsequent mechanical units to move forward and fill the position.
In the originally dense front lines, they could still rely on numerical superiority for continued output against Bai Yi’s limited kill efficiency.
Even using numerical superiority to suppress with overwhelming firepower.
But now, with the line scattered, roles were immediately reversed.
Without the advantage of numbers and firepower, the Mechanical Army was immediately suppressed.
The Insect Swarm, unlike Xuanxing’s mechanical units, doesn’t need several or even a dozen to focus fire together to obliterate a target!
An extremely difficult choice was immediately placed in front of Xuanxing by Bai Yi.
“Ha, a dispersed formation cannot cause effective damage, but once regrouped, it would face the massive killing area of the Magic Fusion Cannon…
Xuanxing, how will you choose…”
However, the fact proved that Xuanxing was more decisive than she imagined.
After discovering his dilemma, he made an immediate decision to leave the remaining mechanical forces and retreat decisively, without hesitation.
“Your Highness, won’t we pursue?
Now is a perfect time, charge while they don’t have a tactical response against us, and pursue the victory.”
After being suppressed for a day, both the Insect Swarm and the other races had the same thought: to pursue immediately and unleash their fury.
Even though they also knew that a reckless pursuit would undoubtedly have traps awaiting them.
They had already prepared to take a little loss.
But it was all worth it.
Compared to bringing victory to Bai Yi and gaining more territory, their sacrifices were trivial!
“A pursuit is certainly needed, but we must not rush.”
Bai Yi first decided the course, knowing that the entire network was filled with a desire for battle and did not intend to stop it.
Combining her authority and the enhanced Aura Effect, she dispelled the network’s emotions, forcibly freeing them from war hysteria.
Her subordinate races may not fear sacrifice, but Bai Yi still needed to make meticulous plans for them.
Although it seems like Xuanxing is in retreat, it wasn’t panicked. Instead, there was even the ability to leave forces behind to block the pursuit.
This mindset of almost purely mechanical intelligence was not something reckless action could resolve, at least Bai Yi had not forgotten that during their last arrival, they similarly repelled Xuanxing.
And after their withdrawal that time, what was left was a saturation nuclear bombardment, and this time…
“Immediate vigilance, prepare for anti-air defense!”
Just as Bai Yi finished speaking, missiles with flaming tails were already observable shooting from the sky.
However, this time they were far from the hasty response of last time. Both anti-air firepower and vigilance were vastly different from before.
They didn’t even give them a chance to approach the ground before detonating them at high altitude, leaving only dazzling fireballs.
Not only over the battlefield, but even the areas where the Mechanical Army retreated also illuminated with small “suns.”
It was evident that if they rushed to pursue just now, even if they detected the nuclear bombs early, they would likely only make another hasty response, further dragging the pace down.
