With a thunderous boom, all nearby life forms scattered in panic, whether they were warriors from Cloud Summit or those parasites.
The power of the flames made it feel as if the temperature in Plum City had risen several degrees.
Amidst the flames, fierce sounds of battle could still be heard, letting everyone know that the two top-tier beings were still locked in combat.
Mo Ye, who had been beside Xia Lei, had vanished, leaving only the earth yellow pill still present. However, Big Yellow had already stood up, looking down at the battlefield with a restless eagerness.
Nonetheless, today its task was to protect Xia Lei, so it could not leave and could only watch.
Plum City was now engulfed in war, but Cloud Summit was starting to gain a significant advantage. The involvement of top-tier beings had caused the previously resilient parasites to begin retreating.
Whether it was Little Tiger’s cavalry, Li Daqian’s battle beast legion, or the air force, they were all slaughtering their opponents with minimal casualties. The disorganized resistance of the parasites seemed exceptionally fragile against such large-scale and rapid assaults.
This was akin to the battles between cavalry and infantry during the era of cold weapons, of course, these monsters were not comparable to infantry, but Cloud Summit's forces were vastly more powerful than ordinary cavalry.
“Xia Lei.”
A voice from the Merit Medal, Guangyao, emerged, indicating that his side had just encountered ninth-level parasites, resulting in relatively significant losses.
Xia Lei shifted her gaze over, seeing that their progress was also quite favorable. The Yama Tree had also suppressed its opponent and might resolve the battle at any moment.
“Speak.”
“It’s a bit unusual. Based on the number of these parasites, there should definitely be more than two top-tier beings among them. Yet, so far, a third has not appeared. I suspect they are planning something. Have you noticed anything?” Guangyao's voice came from the Merit Medal.
After listening, Xia Lei replied, “I haven’t noticed anything yet. I am also waiting for them to make a move. Right now, Tong Steward and Big Yellow haven’t acted, and Hatsune and Mo Ye have just entered the battlefield. If there are any changes, we can respond accordingly. I estimate that these beasts won’t hold out much longer. If they don’t show up soon, they may miss their opportunity.”
At this point, without the pressure from top-tier beings, attacks from all four directions were going smoothly. The preliminary statistics from the Jingjue Floating Sphere had also been sent; after forty minutes of battle, nearly a million various parasites had been eliminated.
This was a terrifying number because even if a million lives just stood there and let you kill them, it would take a long time to eliminate them.
However, the previous attacks from Cloud Summit were overwhelmingly numerous. During the first wave of the ranged evolvers’ attack, tens of thousands of lives were slain. Each subsequent volley of v3 type grenade rockets had over two hundred thousand shells fired. While not every shell killed a parasite, taking out sixty to seventy thousand was certainly feasible; three volleys would approach two hundred thousand.
The number of parasites killed by the Self-Destructing Warriors wasn’t as exaggerated as that of the v3 type grenade rockets, as their numbers were fewer, but they had great power and were deployed in the densest areas, aided by electric nets, producing similar results with tens of thousands killed.
Of course, one must not forget the magic crystal cannons. The thunder of thousands of magic crystal cannons concentrated on the dense swarm of bugs in the city center, and their power would certainly kill many enemies with each shot. While there were no concrete statistics, it was certain that they inflicted more damage than the grenade launchers.
Just these attacks had essentially taken out sixty to seventy thousand parasites, while other Cloud Summit warriors dealt with the remaining ones.
