Chapter 318 Decisive Battle, Surprise Attack

This point was also discovered by Xu Yi during his first small-scale battle with Xie Yulong.

The preparation for the second-ranked God War did not require any blood and energy at all!

Both parties made a small-scale test at the same time, trying to find out the strength of the opponent.

Of course, for the only two remaining forces in the central region, small scale is also relative.

In this test, the size of the troops sent by both sides was about 100,000.

What surprised Xu Yi was that the war beast sent by Xie Yulong looked no different from a normal creature on the surface.

But in fact, its body had been completely hollowed out and replaced with a wooden structure, which was equivalent to a corpse beast formed by a layer of war beast skin with this wooden mechanical structure in its body.

That's right, corpse beast, Xu Yi prefers to call it this way.

This seemingly evil method is a bit like what a tutor in a university class talked about in the past, which originated from the mechanical art of Dongfang Xuandu.

However, the orthodox mechanical arts usually control puppets made entirely of wood, and this kind of corpse beast is an extremely unconventional method even in mechanical arts.

Most likely, Xie Yulong is good at mechanical arts. I don’t know what kind of tribe he has mastered in the north. He combined his own learning to create such a killing weapon.

The corpse beast is driven by a wooden mechanical structure and has infinite power. The most important thing is that these killing weapons are immune to all negative states, such as the shadow toxin of the shadow snake and the continuous toxin of the shadow giant scorpion, which are useless to corpse beasts.

However, the corrosive effect of the blood erosion attack and the curse resistance reduction of the revenge dark erosion are still effective for these corpse beasts that have no vital signs.

In the end, Xu Yi lost this exploratory battle of 100,000 levels. Most of the war beasts he sent out this time were dark-type war beasts, and their expertise could not play any role, which meant that half of their combat power was wasted.

After Xu Yi left behind 50,000 war beast corpses, he retreated in a panic.

The two sides were just testing each other, and Xie Yulong's side did not pursue, but Xu Yi's retreating troops discovered an interesting phenomenon.

That is, the other side cleaned the battlefield very cleanly, and the bodies of both their own and the enemy were taken away by these guys.

Such an obvious action made Xu Yi frown slightly. Was the other side afraid that he didn't know that the "corpse beast" was transformed from the corpse of a war beast, so he reminded him on purpose?

In the next few days, the two sides clashed constantly, testing each other's all-round strength, including the speed of combat power recovery.

The result of the test was that the battle situation on their side was not good. Even if Xu Yi's side was fully equipped, Xie Yulong's corpse beast army still had an advantage in combat power.

Therefore, Xu Yi was basically repelled every time, and Xie Yulong would take the opportunity to take away all the bodies left by both sides on the battlefield.

Over time, both sides gradually lost a little patience for testing.

Xu Yi was always taken away by Xie Yulong from the battlefield, and he didn't know what the other party was going to do with the corpses. He always felt that the more he fought, the more he lost. The other party was fighting to support the war, so he began to seek large-scale mutual consumption.

Xie Yulong was secretly shocked by Xu Yi's combat power recovery speed. He was helpless to pick up corpses. The replenishment speed and efficiency of corpse beasts were not as high as Xu Yi imagined.

The broken corpses of corpse beasts can only be reassembled into a new corpse beast after several pieces are pieced together. The transformation of enemy corpses requires a lot of wood and transformation time, which is not able to quickly form combat power.

In pure consumption, he is actually at a disadvantage. Along the way, he has established the advantage of thunder strikes and rarely won in the end. So he is actually the one who is more eager to pursue a formal battle.

The battle was located in Muyinbu, the intersection of the two forces on the west side of the central area. After all, Xie Yulong was a little anxious, so Xu Yi became the defender.

He mobilized about 450,000 troops, leaving only 100,000 to defend the intersection of the two forces in the east.

The battle was very tragic. More than 300,000 of Xu Yi's 450,000 war beasts died in the battle, and Xie Yulong's losses exceeded 150,000.

This was the result of Xu Yi seizing the opportunity to launch the last volcanic explosion in the dense group of corpse beasts.

On the entire battlefield, the corpses of war beasts and various wooden wastes were piled up like small hills.

The large amount of losses made it impossible for Xie Yulong to clean up the battlefield in time. After taking away a batch of corpse beast remains that could be taken away nearby, a raging fire ignited on the battlefield.

It was Xu Yi who had always been uneasy about Xie Yulong cleaning the battlefield and taking away the remains of the corpses of war beasts. He simply went all out and burned a large number of war beasts and the remains of the corpse beasts that the opponent had no time to take away, so as to reduce the opponent's recovery rate.

The fighting power of the corpse beasts was too strong. Even if Xu Yi mobilized the entire army, he could only barely withstand Xie Yulong's offensive.

If it weren't for the volcanic eruption, the battle loss ratio between the two would have reached 3:1. Although it was unknown how many troops Xie Yulong could bring out in total, after killing 60% of the total troops, Xu Yi still decided to retreat first.

With the tribe behind him as a support, at least there was still a tactic of exchanging space for time that could be implemented, so as not to collapse across the board.

Almost at the moment when Xu Yi retreated, Xie Yulong also retreated at the same time, and the second game ended there.

The third battle was sudden, and several holy light portals opened around the Muyin tribe. Perhaps Xu Yi's action of burning the remaining "useful resources" on the entire battlefield forced Xie Yulong into a hurry.

The opponent once again entangled 300,000 troops to open the teleportation spell given by the supply box and launched a sneak attack, which made Xu Yi say that he couldn't afford it.

However, his keen observation also made him realize that this time the enemy was not composed purely of corpse beasts, but was mixed with more than 100,000 war beasts of various colors.

It seemed that the other side also came out in full force, wanting to achieve success in one battle.

It was precisely because of this that a bold idea gradually took shape in Xu Yi's mind...

...

The Muyin tribe was famous for its defense among the twelve tribes. The numerous traps in the forest terrain and the garrison of 150,000 troops only lasted less than five hours.

The powerful attacking ability of the corpse beasts played a decisive role. At the cost of a large number of losses, the Muyin tribe was directly captured.

It was also the moment when the Muyin tribe was breached that the hundred blood-willed centaurs broke out with their powerful domineering expertise.

Except for a few unlucky guys who fell from the blood-willed centaurs, most of the other chiefs who participated in the battle evacuated smoothly.

Then came the retreat. This pursuit lasted for a whole night and a morning. Xie Yulong's army advanced from the east and west at the same time, breaking through five divisions, and finally stopped on the hill of the Metallurgical Department.

However, this side, which occupied the power of eleven divisions, did not show any joy.

The damage caused by breaking through the defense of five divisions was too great, which completely wiped out the advantages of Xie Yulong's troops in quantity and quality.

Now there are only 70,000 of his troops outside the Metallurgical Department, and most of the corpse beasts are broken and reassembled.

And the Metallurgical Department gathered 170,000 war beasts and five large tripod carts.

The most important thing is that not long ago, before dawn, five meteorites fell from the sky and destroyed all his five corpse beast production bases on the other side of the "Navel of the World"!

Now, he has almost completely lost the ability to recover his combat power!
