Chapter 628: Four-Armed Heavenly Demon (Requesting Subscription)
Zhao Hai was taken aback. "Four-Armed Heavenly Demon? That name sounds quite frightening. Speak, what should we do?"
Lily smiled slightly and said, "Brother Hai, have you noticed that the enemy's magic cube formation actually has a flaw?"
Zhao Hai was confused. "A flaw? What flaw? It's hard to believe that a formation the sea tribe has used for so many years would have a flaw. Tell me, what kind of flaw are we talking about?"
Lily smiled again, pulled up the screen, and further magnified the sea dragon clan's magic cube formation. Still looking at the magic cube formation, she said with a slight smile, "Brother Hai, have you noticed that although this formation looks very flexible, and each face can independently form a large formation, the flaw is that the edges of this square formation are always immobile!"
Zhao Hai had always felt that the enemy's magic formation was somewhat different from real magic, but he couldn't pinpoint the difference. Now, with Lily pointing it out, he remembered that although the magic cube appeared to be a cube, it was essentially just a square. The smaller formations on it could rotate, but the four edges had never moved. While there were some sea tribe people there, they seemed to only function as a barrier, isolating the faces of the magic cube and not participating in the battle.
Laura and Meigen's eyes lit up when they heard Lily's words. Looking at their expressions, Lily smiled and said, "These edges may not seem useful, but they are the most crucial point. As long as we break these edges, this magic cube formation will collapse. That’s why I designed a four-armed heavenly demon formation. The center will attract attention, while four tribes will specialize in attacking the edges of their magic cube formation. Once we break through those edges, there will definitely be some chaos, allowing us to strike at the center!"
As Lily spoke, she continuously sketched on the projection. With her movements, it became evident that the formation she designed resembled a person with four arms straining to hold up a large square, with each of those arms gripping the four edges of the square. If they could really break those edges, the entire formation would naturally collapse!
Zhao Hai and Laura couldn't help but look at Lily with newfound respect. Unlike Meigen's straightforward approach of using a predetermined formation to attack the enemy's formation, Lily's method involved finding the enemy's weaknesses first and then designing a formation based on those weaknesses to break the enemy's formation.
If Meigen's approach was straightforward, akin to two warriors dueled with each using clever techniques to try to defeat the other, then Lily's method was like a cunning assassin circling around a strong warrior, constantly searching for the enemy's vulnerabilities before striking.
Lily turned to Zhao Hai and asked, "So, Brother Hai, is it possible?"
Zhao Hai laughed heartily, "Of course! Why not? Just watch me." After that, he slowly advanced his magic cube formation, making some changes in the process. He moved some sea tribe magical beasts that were good at hiding in mud to the two corners of the formation, preparing to launch a sudden attack. The other parts of the formation remained unchanged, so these shifts were not obvious and did not draw Adam's attention.
However, Adam was still very cautious. Zhao Hai's previous attack had already garnered his attention. Regardless of whether the enemy was Zhao Hai or not, their ability to control undead beings had surprised Adam greatly. Therefore, even though Zhao Hai did not change formations this time and only advanced slowly with the magic cube formation, Adam remained extremely cautious, ordering the six sides of the army to be fully prepared and ready to change formations at any moment.
Zhao Hai advanced steadily, not revealing any intention to change formations. He knew that the success of Lily's battle formation depended crucially on the initial preparations. Only by fully attracting the enemy's attention in the early stages could they dispatch four branches of troops to break through the enemy's edges.
