At that moment the Dino-General’s head was blown off, a single Dino-Warrior swiftly made his way up the gorge, appearing in front of a Storm Warrior with an electromagnetic gun. He swiped out at her head, decapitating her in one blow, as fresh blood sprayed from her neck.
The dino-warriors climbed up quickly and pounced towards the Storm Warriors.
The Storm Warriors had already made their mental preparations to be fodder here as they raised their Battle Spears and charged forth to meet the dino-warriors in an all-out clash.
A single Dino-warrior would require 4 Storm Warriors in their Storm Armor to battle with a formation. If they were caught alone, then in a few breaths, they would be annihilated.
The combat strength of those Dino-warriors was truly fearsome. Earlier, the Storm Warriors held the advantage, but with the increasing number of Dino-warriors crossing the gorge, they were starting to get suppressed.
"Go to hell!"
Luo Qing Qing charged right into the battle like a war goddess, with a single thrust of her spear, a Dino-warrior’s head was blasted apart. She dashed right into their midst, attacking every side as though invincible, and none of the dino-warriors seemed to be able to handle a single move.
"Long live Her Majesty!!"
"..."
The female Storm Warriors let out excited cheers, seeing their own Queen crushing their enemies like it was nothing, and their morale instantly skyrocketed. They threw all fear of death to the wind, and their combat abilities were raised to the maximum.
"She truly is powerful!"
Yue Zhong continued to fire his Electromagnetic Gun at the Dino-warriors while observing Luo Qing Qing slaughtering the enemy.
Not only was her display of strength intimidating while she culled her enemies, but everywhere she went, the morale of the Storm Warriors would soar, and the battle got even more intense. Not many men could even perform half as well as her.
Liu Mei’er, who had been standing beside Yue Zhong, bit her lips as she gazed at Luo Qing Qing with a complicated expression. She could not help but admit that on the battlefield, she could not compare to Luo Qing Qing. In terms of a life-and-death battle, Luo Qing Qing could absolutely crush her in a single move.
Although Liu Mei’er was also a Type 4 Divine Warrior, she had relied on her heaven-defying talents and some resources to raise her strength to that level. In terms of fighting and killing, she was way behind Luo Qing Qing. Therefore, while she had the strength, some peak-Type 3 Divine Warriors might be able to deal with her.
The dino-warriors were being slaughtered one by one, and although they were naturally fearless, under the overbearing and violent torrential storm that was Luo Qing Qing, many of them started to feel fear.
When the remaining dino-warriors made it up the gorge, they quickly tried to flee.
Yue Zhong killed 3 Dino-warriors, while Luo Qing Qing chased after 4 and killed them mercilessly. The remaining ones managed to flee through the forest and disappeared.
This time, the ambush could be considered a huge success that turned the tides.
Yue Zhong came to one of the cliffs, looking at the dozens of Storm Warrior corpses, his expression solemn, "These dino-warriors are truly a force to behold!"
Of the ambush party, there were Yue Zhong and Luo Qing Qing, 2 Type 4 Divine Warriors, and another 100 Storm Warriors.
Such a formidable force, together with the advantage of an ambush, had it been against any other human forces, it would have been enough to annihilate the enemy entirely. Furthermore, their own casualties would not have reached such a frightening number. However, the Dino-warriors had truly reacted in a manner that had cost them dozens of their elites.
At the same time, the strength of the Dino-warriors exceeded the strategies and tactics of how humans fought. In such a terrain, they did not seem to suffer any disadvantages, instead, it was more like a minor setback. The terrains that humans could utilize were lesser and lesser.
Luo Qing Qing came up to Yue Zhong and suggested, "We were able to kill so many Dino-warriors, paying such a price is already considered a huge victory for us. Let us scatter!"
"Fine!" Yue Zhong replied.
One of the Storm 8 Greats, Han Zi Xuan, a pretty lady with a heroic aura and an extremely attractive body, pointed to the distance and said, "Your Majesty, look!!"
Yue Zhong and Luo Qing Qing came to her side and followed her fingers to look. What they saw, was enough to send these 2 confident and self-assured experts to almost feel despair.
Far off in the distance, a cloud of dust and smoke was rising, as a huge horde of Mutant Beasts, dinosaurs and prehistoric life forms were fleeing in a huge group.
Behind them, there was a dense troop formed entirely out of dino-warriors. They were mounted on their velociraptors, charging forward with only killing intent, their battle spears culling the various beasts in front of them.
In the skies, there were over hundreds of Pterosaurs, ridden by bow-wielding Dino-warriors.
Other than that huge army, there was a single behemoth in the middle of the troops. It was a mountain-like Type 5 Triceratops.
Seeing such a terrifying force approaching, no matter how strong Yue Zhong and Luo Qing Qing were, they could not help but feel despair.
Even without mentioning the rest, the size of the approaching army was enough to cause despair in the hearts of anyone. There were over tens of thousands of them, even the best Type 4 Divine Warrior expert would perish when facing such a force.
Also, the Type 5 Triceratops was almost an invincible existence itself already. With all the combined efforts and personnel of Storm Valley, they still would not be able to injure it at all.
As strong as Yue Zhong was, if he were to face an uninjured Type 5 Mutant Beast, he would likely be killed within seconds.
Luo Qing Qing looked at the approaching army with its intimidating aerial display as well as the inclusion of a Type 5 Mutant Beast and slowly spoke, "We can only retreat!"
In the earlier ambush of the vanguard party, Luo Qing Qing had to sacrifice a dozen of her warriors, these were elite Storm Warriors after all.
Even if they were to activate all their forces against this approaching army, it would barely cause a ripple/
No matter how strong she was, and how she could crush her individual enemies, when faced with pure military might, there was only retreat.
Yue Zhong frowned and eyed the army before he looked at the surroundings.
He suddenly asked Luo Qing Qing, "Luo Qing Qing, do you have any Type 3 Divine Warrior subordinate with Ice-related abilities?"
She pointed to the valiant Han Zi Xuan and said, "She is one."
Yue Zhong was slightly surprised as he looked at her. This warrior seemed even more heroic, even her pose and posture seemed to surpass Luo Qing Qing slightly. Yue Zhong had assumed that she was a close-combat specialist, instead of an ice-control expert.
Han Zi Xuan seemed to have felt Yue Zhong’s gaze, as she turned to shoot him an icy glare.
Yue Zhong spoke, "3 days, I need 3 days’ time. In this 3 days, I hope you can try your best to delay the advance of this large army."
Luo Qing Qing frowned and asked, "3 days? What’re you intending?"
An icy look flashed across Yue Zhong’s face, "I want to give them a harsh lesson. On the consequences of pushing us humans too far."
Luo Qing Qing stared at him for a good moment before sighing, "Alright! I’ll promise you this. However, 3 days will be the max I can do. After that, the Storm Battleship has to leave!"
Yue Zhong replied, "Let me borrow Han Zi Xuan!"
"Fine!"
"See you!"
After gaining her approval, Yue Zhong immediately brought Han Zi Xuan and Liu Mei’er with him towards the distance.
One other Storm 8 Greats, Hai Xi, stepped forward and asked Luo Qing Qing, "Your Majesty, aren’t you going to ask him what he’s planning to do? To delay the huge army of the Stegosaurus Kingdom, we will have to pay a terrible price."
Luo Qing Qing had already seen through Yue Zhong’s intentions, "I know without asking. He’s intending to use the Green River to drown the Dino army by directing the water flow. It is likely that only such a method could possibly deal a huge blow to their forces. What he needs now is most likely to freeze the entire river."
When Hai Xi heard that, her face revealed a hint of joy, "Making use of the Green River to drown those beasts, truly a good method!"
Luo Qing Qing replied softly, "While it is a good idea, there are too many variables. Powerful Mutant Beasts exist within the River, just the creation of a bank there would be tough. At the same time, to direct the water flow requires a huge undertaking of construction and work. This would be another large obstacle to overcome in employing this tactic. Hai Xi, don’t get your hopes high. The probability of success is very likely small."
Luo Qing Qing had considered it before, but the various problems seemed too impossible to overcome, without the certainty of success, she had no choice but to give it up.
Hai Xi could not help but ask, "In that case, Your Majesty, why did you agree to impede the Stegosaurus Army for 3 days?"
Luo Qing Qing’s eyes flashed with a wise look, "Our Storm Valley people need time to board the Storm Battleship. Furthermore, it would require 2 more days to transport the necessary resources to support these many survivors. No matter what, we have to endure another 2 might days, we might as well go out on a leg and do some more. Just treat it as repayment for Yue Zhong’s allowance of our people to board the Storm Battleship."
