Chapter 454: Chapter 445: Rendezvous

Sigmund: “Left flank, mountain formation switch to leak formation, retreat in tiers! All archers, immediately take the Eagle Eye Potion and Power Extraction Liquid, pin those rolling fungi balls to the ground!”

Louisa: “Here, here, and here! Divide the Self-destructive Pukis into three waves, roll back and forth, make a feint but keep the distance, attract their long-range fire! The frontal Heavy Armor Puki group, now, crash into them at all costs and rip open the converting gap!”

Lin Jun: Moved the Cannon Puki a bit to the left, out of the range of the enemy archers’ attacks.

With the addition of Little Pig, Sigmund suddenly felt immense pressure, although the opponent’s command seemed somewhat inexperienced in some areas, they displayed incredible battlefield intuition, always launching surprise attacks with precision during the moments when he was transitioning formations!

This feeling of being completely seen through made him feel as if he were confronting his old rival Alama, having to continuously issue commands to respond.

On the other side, Louisa, in her excitement, also deeply felt the terrifying skill of Sigmund’s command abilities.

She occupied many advantages provided by the boss, yet the opponent, despite having the main force pinned by the Storm Elemental Spirit, could still command on multiple fronts and hold the line steadily.

If it were a fair fight, she would have been defeated long ago.

However, there is never fairness in war!

According to her calculations, if she could hold on for another ten minutes, after two rounds of fierce engagement, she was confident of tearing open an irreparable gap in the enemy’s defensive line.

With the boss as a backing, there’s no reason to lose this battle!

“Little Pig, I’m going to reduce the number of Pukis.”

“Eh?”

…

There’s no way, we can’t keep this up at full strength, can we? Honestly, I’m not here to take down little Sig, my goal is only one—Sunstone!

As a calm mushroom, he would never deviate from his original intent due to a momentary impulse.

Moreover, the Storm Elemental Spirit won’t hold out for much longer.

On the battlefield, a Storm Elemental Spirit had just turned a panicked Half-Vampire into charcoal, but in the next second, it exploded without warning, the powerful shockwave blowing away both the surrounding Demon Race members and its kind.

This wasn’t an isolated incident, more and more Elemental Spirits began to collapse one after another.

They were never suited to external environments, the consequence of being away from the Elemental Disorder Zone too long is being killed by the external environment.

From a distance, under the cap of a Heavy Armor Puki, a pair of emerald eyes watched all of this unfold.

Inanna felt somewhat apologetic to these Elemental Spirits that were so close to her.

Lin Jun, however, thought that these Storm Elemental Spirits were merely tools, after all, in the [Inspiration] view, they didn’t even have souls.

And now, these tools had completed their mission, winning enough time for Lin Jun.

A disturbance suddenly came from the direction of the Dragon’s Roar Valley!

Unable to await Sigmund’s attack any longer, it was only natural for Alama to want to investigate, incidentally discovering this Puki Master support troop.

Alama had initially suspected this might be a trap set by Sigmund, deliberately leading a human troop to display for him at the valley entrance.

Thus, he approached with caution at first.

However, upon careful observation, especially after seeing the real heavy casualties among the Demon Race, he concluded that Sigmund would not pay such a price to put on a show, particularly when the audience was already in a position with no way to retreat.

Nonetheless, Sigmund had long prepared for Alama’s involvement.

Although the main battlefield was under pressure, he never deployed the forces led by Virelis; this reinforcement continued to firmly guard the valley entrance.

No way would he let Alama break through!

Typically…

…

In the defensive line at the valley entrance, a small Goblin nervously shifted its bare foot, its rough toes digging into the mud.

Virelis’ units were always chaotically structured; she would even mix Goblins with starved Trolls in the same formation.

Thus, it was not uncommon for a Goblin to be accidentally stomped into paste by a friendly Troll, or simply grabbed and eaten as a snack.

As a “mature” Goblin surviving so far in this harsh environment, it had long learned the necessity of remaining constantly vigilant, its murky yellow eyes scanning all the massive creatures around that could potentially pose danger.

Puki—

It suddenly felt something soft gently pressed against its side.

The survival instinct made it immediately jump two steps aside to avoid accidentally being stepped on by someone. But when it looked, there was only another bewildered Goblin looking at it with confusion, and no one else had passed by.

It tilted its ugly head in puzzlement, looking around, trying to find the source of that sensation.

The next second, accompanied by a deafening explosion and shockwave, it and its equally bewildered companion, along with more surrounding Demon Race soldiers, were blasted into scattered fragments.

It no longer needed to think about that question.

…

Next time, the foot structure of the Invisible Pukis must be further optimized, the slight puki sound they make when moving is still too easy to expose them.

As Lin Jun gradually reduced the number of Pukis directed by Louisa, the situation on Little Pig’s side visibly became more difficult.

Yet Lin Jun didn’t waste these freed-up spots.

He transformed magic power to create one Invisible Self-destructive Puki after another, allowing them to infiltrate the battlefield edges silently, eventually mixing into the most scattered edge of Virelis’ troop arrangement.

Truly had to thank Virelis’s chaotic command style and force composition, saving Lin Jun much trouble.

If it were as disciplined as Sigmund’s corps, there would surely be skilled scouts or mages at key positions, making Invisible Pukis’ sneak attacks much riskier.

Moreover, Lin Jun didn’t want to create an entirely invisible army on the battlefield, it would be far too conspicuous.

Alama immediately sensed the chaos caused by the explosion, personally intercepting Virelis while ordering Lorenzo to tear open a breach at the explosion site with his troops.

The adjutant, who had already been suffering under Sigmund’s assault and was contemplating how to protect Inanna for retreat, decisively led the remaining blades to escort the Heavy Armor Puki carrying Inanna closer upon discovering that Alama had created this breach.

Sigmund didn’t want to let them through, but wave upon wave of eruptions before the Storm Elemental Spirits’ collapse forced responses.

Some of the remaining Pukis bravely and fearlessly dragged their steps, and ultimately, Sigmund could only watch as the Puki Masters were taken into the Dragon’s Roar Valley by Alama.

“What a thrilling battle! Are you mad?” his roommate indeed emerged again.

“No,” Sigmund took a deep breath, yet a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes. He generously gave praise, “I was mistaken. The commander hiding behind the scenes on the other side is extraordinarily talented, a rare genius!”

“Mm-mm, I saw it too.”

“However, their Magic Pet army is nearly depleted. Even if they luckily join forces with Alama and shrink into that broken valley, what can they do? They’re merely pooling two problems together, making it easier for me to crush them all at once! Hmm… After breaking through Dragon’s Roar Valley, I might offer this newcomer a chance to surrender.”

“??? “
