Chapter 719 - 338: Checks and Balances! Encirclement and Attack on Sword and Shield!

"Don’t be afraid!"

"The Insect Race is strong, but they’re just insects! Their individual combat power is relatively weak, they’re less resistant to group control abilities, and their elemental resistance isn’t high either. As long as we hold on for a while longer, we’ll succeed!"

"I’ve already uploaded the battle scene to the World Channel. If the Insect Race behind them sees the benefits of cooperation, they will surely continue to collaborate, prompting the strong individuals from other teams to take action. They will intervene sooner or later!"

"Defend! Defend! Hold the defense!"

Clear River, clad in a Magic Robe, shouted. Though his voice wasn’t loud, it possessed the power to penetrate the soul, invigorating everyone.

That was a magic effect!

Language-based magic!

What he said was also correct. For the native Insect Race to confer such massive genetic dragon control rights, the relationship between them and the Insect Race Queen must not be simple.

They might have formed a contract. The Insect Race Queen might believe the other party has commanding potential, giving him a small portion of the Insect Race to bring in more biomass for their development.

Therefore, we must thwart him and show the Insect Race Queen that it’s not worth it.

Despite this, Clear River still felt uneasy because their command was free-form, daring to fight and die, which didn’t align with previous judgments. They seemed to have an army capable of direct combat.

What is going on?

Surely they haven’t truly developed the Insect Race to this extent?

At this moment, there’s no point in overthinking!

Commence the battle!

Innumerable magic runes flickered from the ground, forming one magic array after another. Forces with magic system experts aren’t just the Hunting God. Other forces with magic experts will also construct array patterns, possibly even erect a magic tower.

If the Human Race forces develop to the later stages, the probability of constructing a magic tower is high. Forces with a magic tower have a very powerful defense; ordinary people can’t breach it.

But that’s in the later stage!

What does that have to do with the current early stage?

The azure guardian grand array expands, the energy-gathering array unfolds simultaneously, alongside various attack-control elemental arrays.

Looking at the bigger picture, it seems this is a part of a large array system. If completed, it should form a very powerful combined array. Coupled with magic tower support amplification, it can unleash terrifying power.

But the problem is, the Human Race hasn’t developed to its fullest yet!

Countless gene-enhanced dragons descended from the heavens, their wing beats tearing through the air with a harsh screech, spewing fire as they charge the positions, fearless of death.

"Open fire! Shoot!!"

The Human Race commander roared hoarsely, sharp arrows shot from the arrow towers. These were specially amplified structures, firing arrows with power far exceeding conventional weapons, capable of breaking the defense of even Monarch Level dragons.

But there are too many of them!

Compared to the sentry towers, there are far too many!

Boundless flames spilled from the sky, bombarding the protective arrays. Although the attacks were successfully blocked, the internal temperature still rose significantly, making the battlefield atmosphere tense.

Outside the array, green grass charred black, then airborne in heated streams, as scorching ashes flew throughout the sky.

Countless arrows, magic spells, guns, and cannons shots rose to the sky, knocking down numerous gene-enhanced dragons. Although the number slain wasn’t large relative to the whole, the effect was undoubtedly good, boosting Human Race morale.

However...

Are these gene-enhanced dragons really killable without cost?

The bodies of dragons that crashed onto the barrier suddenly emitted crimson light, rapidly expanded, and finally exploded violently.

Such scenes unfolded continuously elsewhere.

"Boom! Boom boom boom!..."

The continuous explosions shook the azure protective barrier. Inside, Mage Clear River frowned tightly, thinking: Why are these anomalous dragons’ self-destruct power so strong? This doesn’t follow common logic; anomalous dragons shouldn’t be this powerful.

He then divided his focus to detect the gene-enhanced dragons one by one and sniff out their attribute values.

In the end...

He shouted directly: "Brothers! Attention, brothers! These are not just anomalous dragons! These are gene-enhanced dragons! They have resistance detection ability; ordinary people can’t discover them!"

"Resistance detection?"

"Such insidious ability?"

"No wonder the pressure is immense, no wonder! My attacks feel like scouring when hitting them. With normal anomalous dragons, I can kill one with a single blow! Damn it!"

"These gene-enhanced dragons’ self-destruct power is too great, they’re too difficult to deal with! How can we resolve this?"

...

While battling under pressure, Clear River uploaded information to the World Channel and stated his speculation.

Clear River (Sword Shield): "The Insect Race they control is specially enhanced and possesses resistance perception detection hidden attributes, which typical monsters simply don’t have. God knows what genetic fragments they’ve fused!"

White Park (Wind Roar): "Impossible! What genetic fragments must they fuse to produce such hidden attributes? Under normal circumstances, such hidden attributes shouldn’t appear, right?"
