#76 - Chapter 76: Fire and Plague

When Gu Changqing's defense line was breached, a portion of the infested orcs on the entire battlefield immediately changed their attack targets.

This group of monsters, no longer feeling any pain and only knowing to move forward, frantically howled as they attacked everything in front of them, rushing towards Li Qi's army.

It must be said that after removing the sense of pain and most of their thoughts, coupled with the boost from hormones, these orcs showed no intention of dodging even when facing cannons, firearms, or even goblin bombs.

They were like a group of madmen, forcibly charging towards the steam tanks with their flesh and blood.

Even if the opponent's cannons blew them into a bloody mess, it was the same.

Moreover, even if their bodies were blown into two sections by the steam tank's cannons, they would still be forced to crawl up and continue moving forward under the control of the parasitic demon.

Even the goblins and gnomes controlling the steam tanks couldn't help but feel terrified at such a gruesome sight.

Because this state was clearly beyond the scope of ordinary creatures.

However, even if their state was terrifying, this terror did not last long.

Because in the minds of the goblins, all fear comes from "insufficient bombs". As long as there are enough bombs to blow the opponent into small pieces, then there is nothing to fear.

Therefore, although the characteristics displayed by these orc warriors were very terrifying, they were still just flesh and blood after all.

Under the cover of more artillery fire, these moving "meat chunks" were completely immobilized in a matter of seconds.

But Wu Wei had obviously guessed this outcome.

Faced with weapons of a higher technological level, flesh and blood could not compete.

So his real killer move was not these orcs controlled by the parasitic demon.

But the plague legion and plague fly swarms that had been prepared long ago!

Therefore, after a round of artillery fire ended, in the instant before the second round of artillery fire was reloaded, countless demon legions corrupted by the plague suddenly stepped onto the battlefield amidst the howls of more orc warriors.

The plague legion at this time was even more terrifying and twisted than when Li Qi first saw it.

The demons who were incorporated into this legion had basically survived several or even dozens of plague infections.

Their bones had long been infected by the plague into a deformed appearance.

From the countless holes in their bodies, a black viscous liquid composed of their discarded organs and tissue fluid was constantly flowing outwards.

And in their blood, countless diseases were poised to erupt, ready to spill out of their hosts and infect everything.

Even more terrifying was that above their heads, the "dark clouds" composed of plague flies were making terrifying sounds, sweeping towards the enemy like a tide, covering the sky and the earth.

But facing such an army, Li Qi, who controlled the entire steam tank corps, just sneered.

"Oh?"

"You still want to use plague? Don't you think it's too old-fashioned?"

"I have to say, Wu Wei."

"Your warriors are indeed getting scarier and scarier, but the problem is, your tactics are still the same old wine in new bottles!"

"A mere plague, in the face of science, it is only the one being crushed!"

After speaking, Li Qi began to order his warriors to take out the weapons they had prepared long ago.

Soon, several gnome teams distributed the weapons.

However, their distribution target was the goblins.

And the weapons they distributed to these goblins were flamethrowers!

"Haha, burn, babies, burn!"

"Boom!"

In just over ten seconds, this group of short, green-skinned goblins wielding flamethrowers and wearing special equipment jumped onto the top of each steam tank, aiming their flamethrowers at the direction where the plague legion was located.

And when these flamethrowers began to exert their power, even the plague, which was more terrifying than death, began to retreat.

Countless plague flies with only one health point were directly reduced to ashes and fell from the sky.

And those warriors infected with the plague were directly turned into one mobile torch after another on the battlefield under the power of the flames, screaming and dying.

It must be said that the flamethrowing device that Li Qi originally built for siege warfare finally came in handy.

Looking at the plague legions turning into ashes one by one, a smug smile appeared on Li Qi's face.

"Hmph, Wu Wei, you are nothing more than this."

"Although many lords fear your attacks, I am not afraid."

"After all, although your attacks can win every time, in my eyes, it is still too lacking in variables."

"As long as you follow the steps to crack your offensive steps, then what awaits you is only defeat."

On the other side, after seeing his attack being resolved, Wu Wei himself did not feel any disappointment.

He just closed his eyes and took a slow breath.

Then, when he reopened his snake-like scarlet eyes.

A portal, an indestructible portal, appeared on the battlefield!

On the other side, in the main body of the Endless Abyss, more than a dozen huge eggs also began to hatch.

The Endless Abyss has many means to achieve its goals in war.

The only difference lies in whether the Abyss Lord is willing to pay enough price and drive them.
