Chapter 1650: Chapter 1236: Should I Be Happy?
Because they had to obey orders, no dragons pursued, and the entire battle group still moved forward slowly, but the black Heavy Dragon Beasts were continuously closing in on one another. Sniping was initially effective, but more and more snipes were blocked by the Dragon Beasts as time went on.
Until the end, White Dragon followed the Commander’s orders for a collective snipe, aiming to penetrate through the gap, but the Heavy Dragon Beasts erupted with energy simultaneously all over, incredibly withstanding the Dragon Breath coming from every direction!
"Damn it! This bastard actually played me."
The Heavy Dragon Beasts had begun a Dragon Power Resonance, enhancing their collective defensive capability in this way.
"Has the analysis of the organizational strength of the Dragon Beasts come out yet?" Long Yi shouted to the future.
"Half a minute left."
"Commander, immediately reassign White Dragon into temporary groups for focused sniping. I’ll announce the number for each White Dragon group in thirty seconds," Long Yi ordered loudly.
Instantly, all the White Dragons moved closer to their Commanders.
Meanwhile, the spherical Array ahead was still closing in.
"Results are in! Based on the standards for a single snipe, the head armor requires at least eightyfold power to penetrate, the jaw area requires sixty-fivefold, the eye armor fiftyfold, the rear head armor three hundred seventyfold, and the back armor a thousandfold."
"That’s enough! Group the White Dragons in units of a hundred and target the Heavy Dragon Beasts’ heads for sniping! The rest of the Giant Dragons get out of the sniping path immediately! All Black Dragons start charging up Dragon Breath missiles now!" Long Yi shouted.
The Dragon Knights on the frontline could obtain the targeting location of their allies through their helmets, equipment from the Human Realm. From the first generation invented by Long Yi, after more than twenty years of development, it has now reached the eighth generation. Faster in responsiveness and integrating more information. Providing so many helmets in such a short time was unthinkable, but as for the core components, the crystal panels were all provided by the Crystal Demon, and just casting metal helmets was nothing for the Dwarves who had long since achieved mass industrialized production. As for the carving of Arrays within, at that time, the entire Celestial Clan was mobilized, so that was even less of an issue.
Having avoided the sniper route, the White Dragons also gathered into clusters at this point, their lungs starting to fill with Dragon Breath.
"Fire!"
Boom!
In various corners of the universe, dazzling lights erupted almost simultaneously, with millions of White Dragons emitting sniper Dragon Breath. Aiming for the heads, the power of a hundred White Dragons was enough to penetrate the head armor of the Heavy Dragon Beasts. When the head was destroyed, and the rest of the body parts continued to drift forward, they naturally couldn’t keep up with the main forces, having lost control.
"White Dragons, start recharging Dragon Breath immediately, Black Dragon troops send the Breath through the opened gaps, we will dismantle the enemy from the inside!" Long Yi roared.
Dismantling the enemy from the inside meant a simple intention; the Black Dragons would launch the Dragon Breath missiles through the newly opened gaps, exploding inside and affecting the White Dragons hidden behind. These missiles might not be able to kill the White Dragon Beasts directly, but they would surely inflict considerable casualties on the White Dragon Beasts behind.
Right before the White Dragons had sniped, Long Yi had already ordered the Black Dragons to accumulate Dragon Breath. Now, the Black Dragons immediately spewed out all of their Breath. The black Dragon Breath missiles passed through the gaps and then exploded behind the Heavy Dragon Beasts, their intense corroding power causing massive casualties to the White Dragon Beasts instantly!
So low are the defenses of those White Dragon Beasts?
Even Long Yi was shocked by this, considering that the Black Dragons hadn’t been enhanced yet; their attack power was just ordinary. Although White Dragons didn’t have much resistance to the corrosive Dragon Breath of the Black Dragons, they shouldn’t have been so vulnerable.
However, this felt quite similar to the situation on his side. Long Yi’s plan had originally been for the strong front line to withstand the enemy’s assault while the backline White Dragons provided firepower. In the end, Long Yi had only upgraded the White Dragons, and the Black Dragons had not yet been upgraded, while the enemy had already completely executed their plan.
Yet, the division of troop types required precise coordination and on-the-spot tactical adaptation on the battlefield. The enemy’s Dragon Beasts had no such coordination; they could only move based on their initial orders. This not only prevented them from leveraging their species’ advantages, but their pronounced weaknesses could also lead to the entire war’s failure.
Nevertheless, the front-line Heavy Dragon Beasts were not too dumb; they were reforming their formation, excluding the lost Dragon Beasts from it. Soon, there were no gaps left for the Black Dragon’s Breath to enter.
"White Dragon’s second round of charging is complete! Black Dragons, evade!"
This time, it wasn’t Long Yi, but the Commander issuing the orders. The massive Black Dragons facing a series of firing lines immediately dodged.
Accompanied by the roaring of Dragon Breath, sturdy defenses were once again breached with a series of gaps. Needless to say, the Black Dragons swarmed in once more. Black Dragon Breath didn’t have high destructive power, but its biggest strength was its ability to spread over a wide area, which performed exceptionally well under specific battlefield conditions.
In this way, White Dragons and Black Dragons coordinated in turns, the enemy’s formation kept shrinking, and due to a significant numerical superiority, each round of sniping opened up more targets for the next. Meanwhile, the leaderless Dragon Beast formation, though continuously counterattacking, could only mechanically respond to all situations.
