1849: Chapter 1845: Siege 1849: Chapter 1845: Siege “Honestly, I didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.”
Looking at the well-organized siege army below the fortress, Lu Ping’an sighed.
After his initial probing attack failed, he began the standard “farming and troop surge” process…
It’s not that he can’t force a win, but once the conquest starts, he can’t stop himself.
Top combat power will be quickly exposed, logistics and support will fall behind, and the sustained battle will turn into a war of attrition, with defeat becoming just a matter of ti.
The warriors here are indeed the Chosen Ones, with astonishing combat power and exceptional endurance…
but that doesn’t an they can fight indefinitely.
They will still get tired and die when it’s their ti.
And the solution in this world is actually quite simple and crude…
Just use so endurance, stamina, and healing power granted by the Demigods.
Everything can be solved with extraordinary ans, which is the basic logic of this extraordinary world, but in this process, the Deities who can grant power naturally beco the core.
In essence, it’s about pairing a single Deity with a Legion.
Each Deity strives to transform their power into a form of war, displayed over their Legion.
Ultimately, it’s a head-to-head competition to decide who enters the Temple of Ten Thousand Gods and becos the so-called Immortal Heavenly Soldiers…
“Perhaps this is the desired selection outco of this world…
but since I’ve entered the ga, naturally it will follow my rules.”
Lu Ping’an didn’t rush to transform his “rules” into power, nor did he hastily put everything on the line like those War Gods.
Instead, he opted for a steady long-term developnt.
He then naturally began to accumulate population and military strength.
“Can we win?
The opposing force is at least twice as large as ours.”
Xue En stood atop the city, looking at the enormous spider afar, with a pointed intention.
“The God of Venom and Swamps” Gerna, seemingly the protector of the spider ethnic group, now turned out to be Lu Ping’an’s neighbor and enemy.
Recently, with Lu Ping’an’s newfound prosperity, her business has declined significantly.
Not only have many newborn ethnic groups been taken away, but a significant number of her soldiers have also defected.
“More than twenty thousand…
still acceptable, within manageable limits.”
An endless field of soldiers, various races mixed together, although they are all Beastn, the main force seems to be insect-series insectn as well.
“So many spider fellows!”
Those long-ard, long-legged, many-handed, many-footed beings climbing the city walls are direct descendants of Gerna.
The power of the Deities influences the war in different ways.
“This is actually a good thing…
perhaps our opponents are just these few hundred spiders.”
These spider beastn are evidently superior to other beastn…
According to intelligence from defectors, there’s so serious discrimination and division among them internally.
This Deity, overly fond of her direct descendants, even uses “transforming into a spider beastman” as a reward…
Such division created from the top is hard to rectify, especially when it causes resource competition within the ethnic group.
Food is limited, territory is limited, who gets priority, who cos last.
The lofty Deity won’t care about the lives of those below; in their view, perhaps these races are just carriers of their power.
As long as they’re alive, can go to war, that’s all that matters.
Now, these spider beastn naturally beco the “nobility” and “elite officers” under her command.
Lu Ping’an noticed that even in the first wave of cannon fodder rush, spider beastn were scarce; most were miscellaneous ranks.
And those spider beastn with climbing advantages rely tested the defenses, found many defenders atop the walls, and had no intention of a full-scale assault.
This ti, this neighbor of Lu Ping’an brought more than twenty thousand troops, not unlike their own numbers…
“Another one has co from the south…”
Another colossal human-faced spider slowly crawled over, its limbs moving like phantoms, seemingly slow but actually fast.
And behind it, a massive legion followed.
“The Lord of Ash and Venomous Fangs,” Gorqu, Gerna’s brother and mate, also one of the masters of this system.
And the legion he brought surpasses Gerna’s.
“There are several more in the west!”
With spider parents, naturally, there are children.
Three noticeably smaller spider demons approached from another direction.
And this ti, unexpectedly.
“They might be newborns, possibly developed from afar from the start, now called back.”
These spider giant beasts possess divinity, worthy of being called Deities in the Otherworldly, but Lu Ping’an thinks they’re not qualified to be nad as a God Series, ultimately just referred to as the spider family.
Now, these giant beasts co with their legions.
“Boom!”
The first to fire, however, was Lu Ping’an’s side.
The fixed facility’s iron cannon, heavy weapons with the Magic Plants, began pinpointing targets one by one.
Focus was still on various cannon fodder…
the first wave to charge was mainly sacrificial, and those giant spider gods seed to be linking in unknown ways.
To them, this might just be a pleasant family gathering.
“Are we striking?”
“No hurry, let’s tease them…
let’s see what cards they’ll play first.”
Lu Ping’an even neglected to showcase his divine aspect, since the opponent now uses mortal thods for warfare, his side would respond the sa way.
He was actually more interested in the abilities exhibited by his own “new recruits.”
The professional heroes were already nurous, among them many even engaged in combat atop the walls, occasionally surrounded by Holy Light…
Lu Ping’an knew this was a sign of “trial completion.”
It seed many trials were straightforward hunting tasks.
And they appeared to have “leveled up” on the battlefield.
“Uh, Dark Fire has also started…”
Lu Ping’an’s battlefield ability, the Burning Legion’s “upgrading system,” was also activated.
The warriors at this mont might be enjoying a double upgrade, one aspect gaining “experience” through hunting, receiving various boons and weapons from the Dark Fla, another aspect fulfilling the profession trial requirents, constantly enhancing basic attributes.
It seed this profession aligned very well with Lu Ping’an’s legion-type abilities.
Since the opponent was willing to exhaust cannon fodder, he could observe from the rear…
having geographic advantages and a constantly upgrading force, Lu Ping’an was content to see the battle relatively stable.
“Boom!”
And the ones who couldn’t bear it first were, indeed, the invaders.
Accompanied by the roar of a small spider god, silver sheen appeared on the surface of nurous beastn, and the next mont, like tallic mannequins, they began dismantling with their bodies.
“Sss!”
Silent roars echoed across the battlefield as another spider god utilized its power.
A large number of beastn received the blessing of wind, swiftly and agilely climbing the city walls, despite their heavy bodies transford by talization.
This, seemingly, was the true use of Deities in warfare in this world.
