In the past, a salvo from beast ships was a major reason why many large warships perished.
The cards with horses printed on them restored their dilapidated ships to new condition almost instantly.
Even the damaged warp drive was restored to its original state, allowing them to evacuate at their ease, instead of being left adrift in space as a sitting duck due to component damage.
"It's truly my good fortune to be under Lady Baizhi's command..."
The captain had barely finished speaking when, before the next attack arrived, he and his ship had vanished from the spot, leaving behind a group of stunned and speechless people.
The same situation occurred on the other immortal ship fleets led by Bai Zhi.
The combined use of two cards results in a terrifyingly large boost to combat power.
Behind the fleet guarding the Luofu Immortal Ship, large warships returning from battle kept leaping over, their leaping lights shining like stars.
"Reporting to Lord Baizhi, this proactive attack has inflicted devastating damage on a large number of enemy ships, while our fleet has lost no more than a dozen large warships."
On the command ship, a cavalry general reported to Bai Zhi.
"Um……"
Bai Zhi clenched her fists, feeling angry at the thought that more than ten of her Yunqi brothers had died in battle.
Xianzhou was her hometown, and the soldiers there sacrificed themselves to protect their country. How could she remain indifferent?
"Lady Baizhi, please don't blame yourself. In the past, to achieve such results, we would have had to pay a price many times greater."
The Yunqi general noticed Bai Zhi's emotions and quickly comforted her, adding that what he said was true; in the past, the survival rate of these raiding soldiers was only about 15%.
With the help of Angelica dahurica, the survival rate has now reached almost 98%, which is already considered a miracle.
……
Chapter 902 Bai Zhi Makes a Cameo Appearance as the Queen of the Swarm
The colossal deity swung his blade, and endless golden divine lightning echoed through the universe.
The swarming civilian ships were shot down one after another, like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Even a powerful envoy like Ling Shi has had instances where, like Zhu Luo, he was overwhelmed and killed by the patrolling sea knights using swarms of insects.
In group warfare, even the most powerful commander will inevitably have some survivors when facing a large enough number of enemies.
Moreover, the people of Fengrao are inherently resilient; even if their bodies are maimed, they will quickly recover and may even merge together to become even more resilient beasts.
"Lady Baizhi, Luofu is being invaded by the Fengrao people, and the situation has now shifted from a space war to a ground war."
Bai Zhi, who controlled the Divine Lord to slaughter countless people of Fengrao, slowly landed on the deck of the command ship. Immediately, a cloud rider came running up to report.
"Okay, I understand. From now on, the defense in space is in your hands."
Bai Zhi nodded. The space defense was very effective. Although not all 200 million Fengrao people were wiped out, at least one-third of them had been turned into space debris.
Many remained, and they were also engaged in a fierce battle with the Immortal Ship fleet.
The number of people who actually landed on the Immortal Ship itself, according to Bai Zhi, would not exceed 7000 million.
"Don't worry, Lady Baizhi. You've already protected us so much. If we still can't take down these remaining enemies in space, we're willing to offer our heads!"
"Then I'll be going now. You can proceed according to the established plan."
Bai Zhi didn't intend to give any specific orders. She wasn't some transport captain who had to issue orders like moving the machine gun position five centimeters to the left. Professionals should do professional things. She was only responsible for assisting and using the Divine Lord to inflict massive damage.
Blindly giving orders could cost these Cloud Cavalry their lives.
"Respectfully seeing off Lady Baizhi!"
The cavalry general cupped his hands in greeting.
Bai Zhi arrived at the Starship Port in Luofu aboard a spaceship.
The place has become chaotic, with countless people from Fengrao landing here, while the Cloud Cavalry is constantly attacking with various weapons.
Countless beyond-visual-range attacks were launched from the turrets, and the drone swarm and the Jin soldiers took the lead, charging into the Fengrao Min army and beginning to inflict unlimited casualties.
As a cosmic civilization, the Cloud Cavalry could not possibly engage in close combat with these bountiful people from the very beginning, as would be a very unwise choice, just like in the game.
But there's a reason why the Bountiful People have been a major threat to the Alliance and even the universe for so many years.
While the relentless bombardment could certainly wipe out many of the Bountiful People, even more of them absorbed the bodies and lives of their own kind, becoming even stronger. They were like fusion monsters in various games, possessing extraordinary resistance and powerful vitality.
Bai Zhi jumped out of the spaceship, and the Divine Lord appeared behind her.
"Boom boom boom!"
As the enormous blade descended, the merging people were instantly decomposed into a pile of black ash by the golden lightning.
But this did not stop anything, because the abundant people continued to pour in, like a swarm of insects.
Bai Zhi frowned, but did not linger in the battle. She quickly broke through the battlefield and arrived at the Yunqi garrison guarding the area.
"Lady Baizhi, you've arrived."
The Yunqi garrison commander here immediately saluted Bai Zhi upon seeing her.
"I'm here. Are the things I asked for ready?"
"Of course, we can manufacture the things you need very quickly; the automated production line is highly efficient."
After saying that, the Cloud Cavalry guard waved to the back, and immediately a group of Cloud Cavalrymen pulled some round things that were about half a person's height.
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Looking at the statues, Bai Zhi nodded in satisfaction.
As we all know, the Fertile People are very resilient and sometimes like to engage in fusion or similar activities. With their numbers, they are almost as numerous as the Zerg Swarm.
So why not use swarms to deal with these guys?
Bai Zhi snapped her fingers, and the round statue immediately began to be coated with a layer of color.
The metallic texture and the green liquid churning within the transparent abdominal sac exuded a dangerous aura.
This thing is none other than the infamous Baneling from StarCraft.
Of course, not the original version. The original Banelings seemed to exceed the limit of the level 1 Rat Talisman, but Bai Zhi found a loophole. The original Banelings, as a Zerg unit, are stronger than ordinary humans and animals.
However, if it is replaced with a mechanical poison bug, then the Rat Charm can activate it.
These mechanical Banelings are a type of Zerg unit created by a commander named Stetman in StarCraft. They possess abilities identical to those of a regular Zerg swarm, and are even said to be able to withstand more damage and split into a swarm of smaller Banelings after exploding.
"Tsk, maybe I can even play the role of the Queen of Blades and take on the challenge of reproduction."
Bai Zhi had originally thought of summoning a real swarm of insects, starting with a worker bee and building the swarm's main hive, but considering the speed at which the swarm expands, it seemed a bit too much to do it here.
"You're the one, Baneling! Use Self-Destruct!"
The mechanical poisonous insects produced by the automated production line then began to materialize under the influence of the Rat Talisman. Following Bai Zhi's orders, they rolled towards the bountiful people who were attempting to land at the port.
"What is that...?"
As the mechanical poison insects rolled towards them, a puzzled thought popped into the mind of one of the wealthy people. Mainly, they had never seen such things before.
Although the Zerg swarms in this world also have the ability to self-destruct, their appearance is still very different from the mechanical Banelings from StarCraft.
However, although they didn't know what these things were, it didn't stop the people of Fengrao from launching an attack on these poisonous insects.
Generally speaking, ordinary poisonous insects are actually quite fragile, after all, their large abdominal sac and relatively thin outer wall are their weaknesses.
However, the mechanical banelings have an advantage: they come with an energy shield that can absorb damage from attacks until the energy is depleted.
This amount of energy isn't much, but it's more than enough to withstand the attacks from the Abundant People.
A purple, diamond-shaped shield flashed across the mechanical toxic bug, blocking the attack from the bountiful citizen.
This alerted the wealthy man, who then launched more attacks.
The purple shield began to gradually diminish, and by the time the Banelings rolled in front of the Bountiful Citizens, the shield had completely disappeared.
"What nonsense! Die!"
Chapter 903 Explosive Poison
With a sinister grin, Fengrao Min extended his sharp claws and thrust them straight at the mechanical poisonous insect.
He believed that whatever the opponent was, it would be shattered in two by his attack.
Clearly, his premonition was correct; his claws easily pierced the mechanical poison bug, and then…
The acidic liquid filling the abdominal sac of the mechanical blast bug suddenly burst, drenching him completely.
"Hiss, ahhhhhh!!!"
He screamed in agony as the horrible acidic liquid poured over him began to rapidly dissolve everything on his body.
His skin turned to charcoal, his flesh withered and died, and when the acid finally lost its effectiveness, all that remained of this bountiful man was a charred skeleton, though some remaining body tissues still throbbed stubbornly.
But those bodily tissues were beyond saving.
After all, they were just the people of the bountiful land, not the bountiful envoys, beings with terrifyingly tenacious vitality.
After the fallen Bountiful Man, the explosion of mechanical poison bugs did not end there. Instead, smaller mechanical poison bugs crawled out from the acid and rushed towards the surrounding Bountiful Man.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi nodded in satisfaction; the power of the mechanical poison bugs was within her expectations.
After all, in StarCraft, the sight of a large number of Banelings charging forward has a nickname: "Rolling Red Dust".
Like the unstoppable surging of the mortal world!
"Boom boom boom!"
"Zizzizi!"
The sounds of explosions and corrosion rang out continuously as hordes of mechanical poisonous insects charged fearlessly toward the bountiful people.
Compared to other weapons and attacks, the advantage of this corrosive liquid is that it can completely destroy most of the bodies of the Bountiful People, turning them into a pile of waste that cannot be consumed or utilized by other Bountiful People.
It can be said that this further prevented these bountiful people from devouring each other and eventually creating a mini-boss.
"As expected of Lady Bai Zhi, this move is truly terrifying."
The general guarding the pass swallowed hard. What he had just witnessed would have been enough to cause trouble even for the people of Fengrao, let alone the people of Xianzhou.
What were clearly inanimate sculptures produced on an automated production line had somehow become deadly in Bai Zhi's hands.
Is this the power of the messenger?
But I've never heard of the Imperial Bow's Hunting Fate having this function.
Bai Zhi waved her hand, and countless mechanical poisonous insects behind her transformed from sculptures into real entities before turning her gaze toward the gatekeeper general.
"These mechanical poison bugs are now in your control; they are quite effective against the people of Fengrao."
"Yes...yes, this humble general will certainly not fail Lady Baizhi's expectations!"
The general guarding the pass immediately cupped his hands in greeting. Originally, the port he was guarding wasn't the most important one, but the pressure had increased dramatically because of the large number of people in Fengrao.
Bai Zhi first helped him clear out a wave of enemies, and then created so many mechanical poison bugs for him.
It can be said that most of the pressure has disappeared. All he needs to do is send the mechanical banelings forward at the right time to interrupt some of the more dangerous attacks.
"Well, in that case, I'll be going now. You keep a close watch on this place."
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!!"
The cavalry general immediately saluted and watched Bai Zhi leave.
"Excalibur!!"
A powerful beam of light swept out, knocking away the surrounding Bountiful People. Then, another beam of light struck those who were only seriously injured and were rapidly recovering.
"call……"
Artoria wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Miss Artoria, are you alright? Why don't you stop for now? Xiao Guizi and I can continue fighting."
Li Sushang picked up the Xuanyuan Sword in her hand and said somewhat wearily to Artoria.
"No, I'm fine. You guys rest first. I'm different from you; I can handle it!"
Artoria gritted her teeth; her magic power was still plentiful—no, to be precise, inexhaustible.
Because of her contract with Bai Zhi, all of her magic power is provided by Bai Zhi, so there is virtually no possibility that it will run out.
