Chapter 399: Cannon Fodder Assault Team

“Chief, we can’t continue like this!”

“Yes! Look at the attack frequency and speed of this unknown race’s army; our vanguard simply cannot hold them off.”

“If we send out a strike team without any strong ones involved, they won’t make it close enough to attack. But if we send in the strong, it will play right into Nika’s hands and give them the chance to defeat us one by one.”

In the center of the Bone Spike Tribe’s vanguard, the strong warriors were in deep trouble.

This was completely against their plan.

No one expected that the Nika Tribe’s army, with just a long-range attacking force, could wipe out the entire Bone Spike Tribe’s vanguard.

As such, the Nika Tribe’s army had no need to employ the method of capturing the leader; they could simply push through with this unknown race’s army and annihilate the Bone Spike Tribe’s vanguard.

“Form multiple strike teams and delay the enemy’s speed in batches!”

Bone Spike Chief recognized that they had fallen behind in their strategy and had decided to retreat to their tribe base.

Fortunately, there was still an opportunity for an ambush.

In his eyes, the Nika Tribe’s army would surely still see capturing the leader as their essential trump card.

This strategy could lead to the quickest victory and allow them to completely swallow the Bone Spike Tribe.

The reason they employed it against the Kylin Tribe but chose another attack method against the Bone Spike Tribe’s vanguard was likely to avoid revealing this tactic.

They planned to use this strategy at the Bone Spike Tribe’s base to catch more Bone Spike strong warriors off guard.

Capturing the chief himself would be a decisive blow.

Bone Spike Chief thought that if he had known this would happen, he might as well have mobilized the entire Bone Spike Tribe’s army to come out himself.

This would have made it easier to lure the Nika Tribe and the royal pirate crew into taking the capture-the-leader approach.

He could have avoided the needless loss of several hundred thousand warriors.

However, it was too late for regrets now.

The top priority was to get the vanguard back to the tribe base as soon as possible.

He devised a plan to send out strike teams to slow down the Giant Human Wall’s advance.

This time, the strike team was clearly different from the first one sent out.

The first strike team belonged to the Bone Spike Tribe’s high-end combatants.

The second strike team was just cannon fodder.

Sending out high-end combatants would only halt the Giant Human Wall’s advance, causing them to attack in place.

Sending out cannon fodder could do the same—force the Giant Human Wall to stop advancing and attack in place.

At most, the latter would be wiped out within one or two waves of attacks.

However, the continuous sending of cannon fodder could keep the Giant Human Wall engaged in constant attacks.

“Yes!”

The strong warrior in charge of commanding the vanguard clearly understood Bone Spike Chief’s intention.

He immediately began to organize the strike team.

Each team consists of about one thousand people.

They offer high rewards and then have the Inspection Team supervise their deployment.

Charging towards the Giant Human Wall is a certain death.

However, those who miraculously escape will receive generous rewards.

If they do not charge, the powerful Inspection Team stands in front, and they will die even faster.

There’s no choice; the first wave of cannon fodder assault teams can only follow orders, splitting into smaller teams and charging full speed towards the Giant Human Wall.

“This plan is not bad, but it won’t work!”

In the human army, seeing the first cannon fodder assault team rushing in, Tai Shi sneered.

He had already received a notice from Guli before this cannon fodder assault team was formed, knowing about Bone Spike Chief’s time-dragging strategy.

“Lowest rank, get ready for battle!”

He merely issued a command for the Giant Human Wall to prepare for combat, without ordering them to stop and employ long-range attacks to destroy the assault team.

In fact, when the first true assault team engaged and the Giant Human Wall halted to attack, Tai Shi realized his command had been a mistake.

With only three thousand high-end combatants, there was no need to stop the march of the Giant Human Wall.

It’s important to note that there were not only seven hundred thousand human warriors in the vanguard but also an equal number of Black Tiger warriors.

Additionally, most of the strong members from the entire expeditionary army had been dispatched to the vanguard.

Sending out a few top geniuses along with strong warriors to attack, or sending a team of human warriors and Black Tiger high-end combatants, could easily crush and eliminate the Bone Spike Tribe’s assault team of three thousand high-end combatants.

There was no need to delay the pursuit speed of the Giant Human Wall.

There was no necessity to even slow down the Giant Human Wall for the true assault team, let alone a group of cannon fodder.

Even without the intervention of the strong and Black Tiger high-end combatants, they could easily take care of it.

Human warriors are not solely reliant on long-range attacks.

They are just as strong in mid to short distances.

With Yi Chen, the emperor who creates skills to make up for any deficiencies, humanity can be considered well-rounded, having no weaknesses at all.

At the very least, they have no weaknesses when facing the Black Tiger Tribe.

“Hey, they are not using long-range attacks?”

“They must be out of energy. They definitely can’t keep using long-range attacks. I said, their long-range attacks are so powerful, how could they continue to attack endlessly?”

“Kill, kill, kill… as long as we survive, there’s a reward of one hundred Low-grade Immortal Stones. If we can break their formation, everyone will receive ten thousand Low-grade Immortal Stones!”

“Our luck has come!”

The one thousand Black Tiger cannon fodder, after waiting anxiously for the long-range attack from the Giant Human Wall, had their fearful emotions quickly turn to excitement.

Their desire to survive transformed into a thirst for high rewards.

They shouted loudly to embolden themselves, turning into fearless lunatics, charging towards the Giant Human Wall.

Five hundred meters, four hundred meters, three hundred meters…

Once they reached only about two hundred meters, they all transformed their arms, which had become shields, into great swords.

At the bottom of the Giant Human Wall, the human warriors’ eyes sparkled with a bloodthirsty light.

The Black Tiger cannon fodder, in their eyes, were nothing but military achievements.

The Political Council had not only set a calculation method for contribution values for various tribes but also reformed the Military, valuing military achievements numerically.

Although cannon fodder is not worth much in military achievement points, even a mosquito is still meat.

With a thought, dozens of spiritual swords suddenly flew out.

They eagerly stabbed at those Black Tiger cannon fodder.

Once one reaches the Spirit Consciousness stage, they can learn the flying sword technique from the Heaven-Slashing Technique.

However, the power is nearly negligible.

Even top geniuses cannot inject divine consciousness into spiritual swords like Yi Chen can, controlling the swords from a thousand miles away to take their enemies’ heads.

Ordinary warriors have talents just slightly above ordinary citizens and certainly cannot do that.

But controlling spiritual swords within a range of two to three hundred meters, battling flexibly is entirely possible.

The lower-ranked warriors remained completely still, but thousands of spiritual swords, like thousands of spiritual snakes, darted toward these cannon fodder, stabbing, slashing, or circling around them.

Blood splattered, and screams filled the air.

In just one encounter, the thousand Black Tiger cannon fodder were completely wiped out.

Thousands of spiritual swords returned to their master’s hands.

Meanwhile, the speed of the Giant Human Wall remained unaffected.

Two kilometers away, another wave of cannon fodder assault teams emerged from the Bone Spike Tribe’s army.

But the outcome was no different.

As they approached within two hundred meters, they were instantly slaughtered.
