Chapter 1603: Chapter 1215: Fighting Many with Few
Although the initiative was taken, and confidence was high, the Saintess of Darkness still maintained a cautious attitude. Last time when they faced a large number of Gods of War, the Gods of War had already descended into chaos before she could even make a move. During the battle, due to the lack of coordinated command, that large group of Gods of War could only be described as engaging in infighting. At that time, the Golems took great advantage of the situation.
But now it’s different.
Now, they are facing an entire Legion, which has unified command. Thus, the tactic of exploiting internal chaos to gain advantage no longer exists. Therefore, blindly charging into the enemy’s encirclement is certainly not feasible this time.
The Saintess of Darkness decided to react to moves as they come since they had come here, the other side must respond accordingly.
Soon, within the vast group of Gods of War, over a dozen small legions separated and surrounded Mars from different directions, intending to encircle him.
"Mars, you and Humhum leave first," said the Saintess of Darkness.
"But there are so many of them, you..." Mars thought that fleeing at this time was a very cowardly act.
"They are planning to encircle you from the back by using your size. If you leave now, we can use our speed advantage to break through. Go, don’t worry about us," the Saintess of Darkness said.
"Alright, but at least let me fire a shot before I go," said Mars, preparing to fire at the Gods of War attacking nearby.
"There’s no need, save some of your Divine Power, we have a greater use for it," the Saintess of Darkness said.
Mars immediately disappeared, and the Golems also completed their mental link.
"Come on, Golems, let’s try out the power we just evolved into!"
Space was torn apart, and three hundred Golems instantly appeared in the midst of a small Legion of about thirty thousand.
Originally, after a great battle, the Golems had already greatly enhanced their strength, and after evolving, the enhanced strength had doubled again. Although there were only three hundred of them, due to the overwhelming advantage in strength, facing enemies a hundred times their number, the Golems still had the upper hand!
This was simply a massacre; the thirty thousand Gods of War screamed out all their Divine Power, but to the Golems, it was ridiculously ineffectual, causing no harm at all. Conversely, with the assistance of the mental network, each Golem was able to output with extreme precision.
At this point, facing such a group of enemies, the Golems did not need to think about how to defeat them, but how to defeat them with the least expenditure.
The group of Gods of War also seemed to understand that they were merely cannon fodder, they lacked almost all combat coordination, and while there wasn’t large-scale friendly fire, their output efficiency was extremely low.
Seeing the Golems rush into one Legion, other vanguard Legions immediately tore space and appeared around this Legion. But the next moment, the Golems also tore space and showed up in another distant Legion. The style of combat remained unchanged, still a one-sided massacre by a minority against a majority.
Such scenarios played out repeatedly. Every time the Gods of War tried to surround the Golems with superior numbers, the Saintess of Darkness immediately ordered the Golems to tear space, shifting the battlefield. After several times, the originally hidden Commanders finally could not bear it.
They hoped these cannon fodders would deplete the Golems’ strength as much as possible, but it seemed the Golems were just picking on the weaker targets.
"Immediately stabilize the surrounding spacetime, do not let them continue to tear space, trap them inside!"
Once the command was given, some Gods of War immediately dispersed. The surrounding space stabilized, and no god was able to tear space. This meant that the Golems could no longer escape by tearing space, but it also meant no other gods could appear here through torn space.
And this, conversely, was just what the Golems wanted.
As long as no enemies appeared suddenly, relying on the Golems’ current combat rhythm, let alone these mere one million Gods of War in front, even if ten times more came, the Saintess of Darkness would not care.
Thanks to Giant’s ability akin to cheating, the Golems could instantly absorb Divine Status, and the Golem’s group of viral devotees could immediately replenish their Divine Power to the brim. Moreover, most of the time, the Golems didn’t even need to rely on the virus; they merely needed to absorb the Divine Power of the Gods of War they killed to be completely self-sufficient!
The group of Gods of War’s Commanders in the background quietly watched the changes on the battlefield, hoping to see any sign of fatigue from the Golems, even a slight trace, as they would know that their method was finally effective.
But the issue is, none of these Gods of War knew that what the Golems fear the least är these drawn-out battles by sheer numbers.
Every time a God of War was killed, every absorbed Divine Status immediately enhanced the combat power of the Golems. And the structure of a Golem ensures that as long as it has abundant energy, no matter how severely it is damaged, it will automatically repair itself—especially in such large-scale battles, the Golems hardly sustain heavy damage.
The six main Commanders of the First Legion were also very nervous, although they acted confident, the previous combat records of these Golems were well known, and they actually had no confidence. They made verbal promises that once victorious, they would resurrect every God of War that became cannon fodder, because they estimated there wouldn’t be too many cannon fodders falling in this battle.
