CHAPTER 627: Scorpion Tail
Achieving this is not easy. Even the sharpest army in the world would not dare to claim that they can make no mistakes. After all, human beings have their own thoughts, and when it comes to conveying orders, various errors can occur. Therefore, any mature battle formation must go through countless drills before it can gradually take shape. This is similar to the sea tribe’s magic square formation, vortex formation, cone formation, and others, all of which are the result of the sea tribe's countless drills over the years.
However, Zhao Hai and his companions had a somewhat unique situation. The forces they commanded were all undead beings. It was like playing with building blocks; they could arrange them however they wanted. Even a dark mage could not achieve such precision, but Zhao Hai was different. With the help of space, he could command these undead beings freely, directing them as he wished.
As soon as Meigen finished outlining her battle formation, Zhao Hai had already arranged it as she instructed. The entire formation resembled a large scorpion, charging straight at the sea dragon clan's magic square formation.
Yake was currently commanding the battle from the center of the magic square formation. When he saw that the enemy had also set up a magic square formation using undead beings, his expression darkened. He hadn’t expected the enemy to be able to command the undead beings to such an extent. Nonetheless, he issued his orders, and in an instant, the entire magic square formation sprang into action, resembling a constantly rotating magic cube.
At that moment, Yake suddenly noticed that the enemy had changed their formation. The central army had flattened considerably, while two small groups from the wings rushed forward. Yake's expression changed again; he had not anticipated that the enemy could command the undead beings to such a degree.
Adam quickly said, “Engage the enemy head-on with a cone formation, and form a shield formation on the wings for defense.” Adam was currently located in a giant shell covered in spikes, resembling a large hedgehog. However, this shell was transparent, and there was no water inside, indicating the use of a Water-Repelling Dragon Pearl. Inside, there were tables and chairs, making it Adam's command hall.
With Yaguang’s orders, their magic square formation also quickly transformed. The front magic square slowly rotated, and then a cone gradually extended from the front, directly targeting Zhao Hai’s flattened central army. Meanwhile, the troops on the wings remained stationary, with the more resilient magical beasts charging to the front, forming two shields.
However, Adam clearly did not notice that Zhao Hai’s rear army was stealthily advancing like the venomous stinger of a scorpion toward his position.
In sea tribe warfare, very few armies would approach the sea surface to attack the enemy, as they risked being attacked by flying magical beasts above. Similarly, many magical beasts lived in the depths of the sea, having adapted to the dark environment for so long that their eyes were not suited for bright light. If they suddenly appeared on the surface, they could be blinded. As a result, during battles, it was common for someone to attack from above quickly.
Due to this habit, Adam suffered a significant loss. The moment their front cone formation launched, Meigen immediately noticed it. She quickly said to Zhao Hai, “Brother Hai, use a vortex formation to block their cone formation in the front. The two wings should also use cone formations to break through their shield formation.” Zhao Hai nodded, and the undead beings immediately executed Meigen's orders.
Adam stared at Zhao Hai and their reactions, while his ears remained alert, constantly listening for updates on the battle situation. His expression grew graver; the enemy's command of the undead beings was far beyond his expectations. Before the battle began, he thought it was impressive if the enemy could merely direct the undead beings to swarm into battle. He never anticipated that they could form such intricate formations. Even for the sea tribe, achieving this would be nearly impossible, yet the enemy had done it. This was truly surprising.
