Chapter 927: Self-Destructing Stone Giant

The morale of the Angel Dominion and Century Financial Group was low, with no fighting spirit left. After so many days of battle, their 3.5 million troops had been reduced to just 520,000, far inferior to the Bull Tribe. Additionally, the Bull Tribe still had more trebuchets remaining, and over ten thousand flying mounts patrolling the skies, looming over them like predators. Once the battle resumed, they had practically no hope of victory.

A feeling of despair spread among everyone’s hearts. Just as they were about to give in to total desperation, Ang Yitian spoke in the team chat: “After all this fighting, the Bull Tribe has only slightly more than 600,000 troops left. We haven’t lost yet. Everyone, pull yourselves together!”

Ang Yitian’s words failed to restore their confidence. Defeat was already evident, and no few words could reverse it.

Ang Yitian understood that words were useless at this point. He solemnly commanded in the team chat: “Tian Xie, Lie Yan, let’s begin!”

“Understood!” Tian Xie and Lie Yan replied in the team chat.

When there were millions of troops, some tactics couldn’t have much impact. But now that both sides had drastically reduced numbers, they could unleash all their ultimate moves.

In the Angel Dominion camp, hundreds of shamans divided into dozens of groups. Each group of eight gathered in small open spaces, beginning to chant lengthy incantations, causing intense fluctuations in magical elements.

What were they doing? Nearby players quickly stepped back in confusion. The positions where these shamans stood followed a mysterious pattern, resembling a magic formation. In the center of each formation stood a druid, wearing only simple decorative clothing, gazing up at the sky as if devoutly praying.

Beams of white light tore through the sky and descended upon these druids.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

One after another, fierce roars echoed. These druids, like ferocious beasts howling at the heavens, rapidly grew larger and larger until they transformed into massive gorillas with gray-white fur, standing five to six meters tall.

There were as many as thirty of them, ferocious and formidable.

Nearby players quickly retreated, shocked by these enormous beasts.

What an incredible transformation skill!

They knew druids could transform, but only into ordinary creatures like wolves or bears. This was the first time they had seen them transform into such massive gorillas.

What kind of power could these enormous beasts unleash in battle? Even under trebuchet attacks, the iron projectiles fired from them couldn’t easily knock these beasts down.

On the other side, even more shamans began chanting incantations, each holding scrolls covered in strange symbols, giving off an air of mystery. Moments later, after finishing their chants, over a thousand towering stone giants suddenly appeared among the crowd. Slightly smaller than the white gorillas, but covered with various attachments. Upon closer inspection, everyone gasped in horror—they were black powder packs!

The players of Angel Dominion and Century Financial Group suddenly remembered that the shamans had been holding sealing scrolls earlier. These scrolls allowed them to capture encountered monsters in the wild and summon them later for battle. These stone giants were equipped with large quantities of black powder, capable of self-detonation. The idea for their creation was inspired by the Bull Tribe’s explosive wind dragons, a classic case of using the enemy’s tactics against them.

Each stone giant carried two kilograms of black powder. Although their explosive power wasn’t as strong as the Bull Tribe’s explosive wind dragons, their numbers were vast, and they were easy to produce. They had made over two thousand of them, and this was only a part of the total.

The players of Angel Dominion and Century Financial Group finally realized that Ang Yitian and others had prepared such a last resort. It seemed they still had a chance at victory, and their morale began to rise.

Nie Yan mounted the Shadow Wolf and looked toward the Angel Dominion and Century Financial Group’s army. He saw many giant creatures appearing on their side and smirked slightly. Finally, the decisive battle was here. Let me see what you’re really capable of!

“Full squad, surround them! Advance the trebuchets!” Nie Yan commanded solemnly.

The Bull Tribe’s armored trebuchets began to advance, launching a dense barrage.

A hail of iron projectiles rained down toward the enemy.

“Attack! Let the stone giants blow them away!” Seeing the Bull Tribe charging forward, Ang Yitian shouted. Over a thousand stone giants charged toward the Bull Tribe.

These stone giants were spread out, so the dense iron projectiles only managed to knock down a few, triggering explosions that sent fiery blasts across the battlefield.

But many still managed to charge forward.

“Everyone, be careful! These stone giants can self-destruct!”

However, the stone giants charged straight ahead, leaving them no chance to evade!

Nie Yan frowned slightly. Ang Yitian and his forces had learned their lesson well, using the same tactics against the Bull Tribe.

“Yaozi, use magic to blast them! Dao Guang, Lei Su, Shui Se, we’ll move in to clear them out!” Nie Yan commanded, guiding the Shadow Wolf forward.

Cui Candao Guang and Lei Su charged forward with their assault abilities.

“Nie Yan, should I summon the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon?” Shui Se Yan Tou asked.

“Summon it. No need to hold back anymore.” Nie Yan replied solemnly. The Shadow Wolf suddenly lunged forward, its sharp steel teeth biting into a stone giant’s neck, instantly killing it before it could detonate. The Shadow Wolf leaped again just in time to avoid the explosion’s shockwave behind it.

The Shadow Wolf staggered slightly but managed to steady itself. Fortunately, the explosion caused no real damage.

After a brief pause on the ground, the Shadow Wolf charged toward another stone giant.

“Alright, I’m coming too!” Shui Se Yan Tou shouted. “Come out, Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon!”

Boom! A massive earth dragon appeared before everyone’s eyes, shaking the ground violently. The towering Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon attracted everyone’s attention. Compared to Nie Yan’s Golden Earth Dragon, this one looked like a fully grown adult.

Roaring, the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon charged forward, swinging its massive paw at a stone giant. The stone giant was sent flying, exploding mid-air with a tremendous blast. However, the shockwave only caused the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon to sway slightly.

The Shadow Wolf and the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon rapidly cleared the stone giants charging toward them. Although the thousand stone giants had high health, only two to three hundred managed to break through the Bull Tribe’s defenses after passing through the armored trebuchets’ concentrated fire and player resistance. The resulting explosions caused significant damage to the Bull Tribe’s players and trebuchets.

Nie Yan looked back and saw that even the two to three hundred stone giants had caused considerable damage to the Bull Tribe. His face darkened: “Shui Se, let’s charge together!”

“Alright!” Shui Se Yan Tou replied enthusiastically.

The Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon and the Shadow Wolf charged toward Angel Dominion and Century Financial Group.

“All flying mounts, charge!” Nie Yan ordered. Over sixteen thousand flying mounts in the sky began their dive.

Ang Yitian was commanding the Angel Dominion and Century Financial Group players to prepare a countercharge when he saw the massive Shadow Wolf and Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon charging forward. He quickly shouted: “All trebuchets, fire! Crush them!” Looking up at the sky, countless flying mounts were diving down. This was his worst fear. Previously, with several thousand trebuchets, they didn’t fear aerial assaults. A few volleys from thousands of trebuchets could shoot down all flying mounts. But now, with only a few hundred trebuchets left, facing such a massive aerial force, they were clearly struggling.

“Activate the barrier!”

“Hurry, activate the barrier!”

A massive light barrier appeared in the sky as over a hundred mages activated a large defensive spell—an aura of defense—capable of temporarily shielding against aerial assaults. However, it wouldn’t last long.

A dense barrage of iron projectiles fell, attempting to knock down Nie Yan’s Shadow Wolf.

Nie Yan looked up. Dozens of black iron projectiles screamed toward him. After all, these were large machines like armored trebuchets, with formidable attack power. If hit by several projectiles at once, even Nie Yan might not survive.

He gave the Shadow Wolf a command, and it suddenly jumped to the right front. Nie Yan could feel several iron projectiles whizzing past him. However, with his reaction speed and agility, it wasn’t easy for these projectiles to hit him.

The Bull Tribe players hadn’t advanced yet, but seeing Nie Yan charge ahead hundreds of yards, they were all extremely nervous, fearing something might happen to him.

Facing such a massive force from Angel Dominion and Century Financial Group alone, Nie Yan felt no fear at all. A surge of boldness rose within him. Angel Dominion and Century Financial Group, today I will completely shatter your morale!

The Shadow Wolf leaped up twenty or thirty yards into the air, diving toward the densely packed players of Angel Dominion and Century Financial Group.

Seeing the Shadow Wolf diving toward them, the Angel Dominion and Century Financial Group players panicked and scattered in all directions.

But their speed was no match for the Shadow Wolf. With a boom, the Shadow Wolf landed, sending over twenty people flying.

The Shadow Wolf attacked fiercely, and wherever it went, no one could withstand its assault.

Even Cui Can Dao Guang couldn’t confidently claim to withstand the Shadow Wolf’s attacks without priest support, let alone these ordinary players from Angel Dominion and Century Financial Group.
