Yun Tianlei had already lost count of how many Blood Mosquitoes he had killed. These Blood Mosquitoes seemed endless; no sooner had he wiped out one batch than another would appear.
In Yun Tianlei's opinion, these Blood Mosquitoes were even more annoying than the cavalry of Ark Continent 6. Although the cavalry did attack them, it was impossible for them to target everyone at once. In fact, only some of those on the periphery would be attacked, while those in the middle of the formation remained safe.
But the situation with the Blood Mosquitoes was different. Their numbers were overwhelming, allowing them to launch attacks on almost everyone, leaving no one time to rest. This couldn't continue; it was severely impacting their combat effectiveness.
Now, casualties had already appeared among the Divine Race forces. Although the exact number of casualties was unknown, Yun Tianlei frowned nonetheless.
The attacks from the Blood Mosquitoes differed from those of humans. In human combat, formations could be established to counter the enemy, but that was not the case with Blood Mosquitoes. Their bodies were too small; even if a formation was formed, it would be impossible to withstand such a vast assault. In the end, everyone would fight individually.
Yun Tianlei looked at the Blood Mosquitoes, pondering how to deal with them. However, there were not many Blood Mosquitoes left; at least compared to the very beginning, their pressure had significantly decreased.
Seeing this situation, Yun Tianlei let out a sigh of relief. But at that moment, a series of explosions erupted. Startled, he looked towards the source of the explosions and found a cavalry squad from Ark Continent 6 had finished throwing their javelins and was starting to retreat.
Yun Tianlei's expression darkened. He hadn't expected the cavalry from Ark Continent 6 to come and pick up cheap kills at this time; it was infuriating.
Although he gritted his teeth in frustration, he had no way to retaliate. This was war, and the goal was to eliminate the enemy. Although Ark Continent 6's actions were despicable, Yun Tianlei had to admit it was the best time to target the Divine Race.
Thinking of this, Yun Tianlei couldn't help but sigh internally. On this outing, he hadn’t even encountered Zhao Hai, the one he had heard was the most difficult to deal with, and he had already suffered substantial losses. Compared to Cloud Shadow and Silverbeard Guest, his situation was even worse, which left him feeling embarrassed.
But this situation was beyond his expectations. He hadn’t anticipated Ark Continent 6 would use such tactics against him, and he even suspected that these Blood Mosquitoes might have been summoned by the people of Ark Continent 6.
The timing of the Blood Mosquitoes' attack was too perfect. In the afternoon, they hadn’t encountered any attacks from Ark Continent 6, nor had they faced any at night. Just when they had let their guard down, the Blood Mosquitoes suddenly appeared. If anyone claimed there was no connection between these Blood Mosquitoes and the people of Ark Continent 6, he wouldn’t believe it.
After that first cavalry squad from Ark Continent 6 withdrew, another squad of ten thousand launched their attack with a similar hit-and-run tactic, followed by a third, fourth, and fifth squad…
While they were still dealing with the remaining Blood Mosquitoes, their forces had already been subjected to numerous attacks from the cavalry of Ark Continent 6.
In about an hour, the attacks they faced were almost equivalent to an entire day's worth, clearly indicating that the people of Ark Continent 6 had long been waiting for this opportunity. Yet, Yun Tianlei had no way to retaliate.
He dared not send small units out to attack other cities of Ark Continent 6. He was well aware that if he sent out small units, they would be annihilated. It could be said that they had reached a deadlock.
Yun Tianlei shouted, “Personnel on the periphery, stay alert! The rest of you, focus on exterminating the mosquitoes!”
