San Tian Liang Jue
Chapter 1442 Blackest Night
Moreover, this impact is huge, far-reaching, and irreversible…
Of course, for the players and NPCs who are still fighting on the battlefield, an immediately visible change is—it's getting light.
When Dou Mo's body turned into dust and drifted away with the wind, the demonic clouds in the sky also lost the power to continue condensing. In the energy turbulence generated by the battle between the two armies, the clouds were gradually cleared away, and strands and paths of sunlight successively penetrated the heavy demonic clouds, as if announcing the end of this long night.
"Those who can't stand the light, retreat first!" Mr. Han Ji, this king, is still very responsible. In this situation, he immediately thought of protecting the safety of his people.
Among the monster kingdom's army, there are races or individuals such as vampires, Night-Walking Divine Dragons, and Ushi no Toki Maiden, who will have problems when exposed to light. Now that they have finally seen the hope of victory, it would be too unjust if they were sunburned to death in the end.
"Howdy~ho~ I'll cover you!" While shouting, Mr. Han Ji used a move called "Shit Cloud Overhead," creating a shady area between the battlefield and the city wall on the side of the royal city.
Although he can't rely on demonic energy to make the entire area and even the entire universe dark like Dou Mo, it is more than enough to block a passage.
It's just… his people don't seem to appreciate it; basically, everyone relied on the remaining shadows of the demonic clouds in the sky to return to the city on their own. The number of monsters willing to pass under the "Shadow of Shit"… is very few.
Regardless of the method, in short, the retreat of the light-fearing races was very smooth, and their departure had no impact on the overall situation.
In fact, at this moment, the battle situation in the sky… has become a crushing victory.
Just Ruo Yu and Blood Corpse God, these two fiends, have already killed the Scavengers in disarray; and after the Kingdom Army and a group of high-ranking NPCs obtained the support of [Hall of Radiance - Modified], without any worries, their efficiency in clearing soldiers has also greatly increased.
In addition, the participation of Feng Bujue, Wang Tanzhi, and Xu Huaisang just now dealt a devastating blow to the already defeated redundant army.
The originally very thick cloud of soldiers is now being quickly dissolved piece by piece like cotton candy, even faster than the demonic clouds are dispersing…
"What a terrifying woman…" Feng Bujue fought and walked, came to Ruo Yu's vicinity, and said in a teasing tone, "This is the last Scavenger, right?"
"Ah… it seems so." Ruo Yu responded two seconds before speaking, just after killing a Scavenger. At this time, she replied while retracting her moves, "Speaking of which… has the enemy's replenishment speed slowed down a bit?"
"Heh…" Feng Bujue replied with a smile, "It's not 'slowed down a bit,' it's 'almost completely stopped.'"
"Oh?" Ruo Yu muttered, "You've been counting?"
"Of course, I've been counting." Feng Bujue continued, "Although I went to the Well of Reincarnation in the middle, as long as I'm here, I've been paying attention to the replenishment of the redundant soldiers."
"Then do you know why their lines stopped?" Ruo Yu had already heard a hint from Brother Jue's tone, so she asked.
"It's very simple." Feng Bujue replied, "They're all dead."
"All dead?" Ruo Yu repeated these three words in a slightly dubious tone.
Brother Jue knew that she wanted him to explain more clearly, so he immediately said, "The redundant soldiers are not infinite in the first place, and no matter how fast their production speed is, it still takes a certain amount of time; it's just… because there are already a large number of redundant soldiers that have been produced, it gives people the illusion that they can never be killed."
"You mean…" Ruo Yu said, "In this 'Monster Kingdom Defense War,' the existing redundant soldiers are almost dead?"
"That's right." Feng Bujue nodded and replied, "According to the information I got from Mr. Han Ji and the data I observed myself, it's easy to calculate how many redundant soldiers they killed—it's nothing more than the efficiency of killing enemies multiplied by time, elementary school mathematics." He paused, "Of course, because the 'efficiency of killing enemies' is a constantly fluctuating value, and factors such as physical exertion and changes in the battle situation must be taken into account, the final result will inevitably have a certain deviation, but… under that kind of base number, it doesn't matter if there's a difference of ten or eight thousand."
"But…" Ruo Yu thought for a while, then continued, "You don't know the actual total number of the redundant soldiers, without this as a reference value, the number you calculate is not of great significance." She paused slightly for half a second, then asked, "How can you be sure that they stopped replenishing because they were about to die, and not because they decided to give up the attack?"
"Wow…" At this time, Feng Bujue's tone suddenly changed slightly, and he said in a cheap way, "Don't be like this, you're making me excited."
Hearing this, Ruo Yu, who was slaying miscellaneous soldiers, took the time to turn her head and glared at Brother Jue, complaining, "Hey… what did I say… what content in my words prompted you to show that kind of lewd look and reply to me like that?"
"You're following my train of thought, analyzing it logically and clearly, and immediately discovered the problem, and asked the key questions." Feng Bujue also said while sweeping away enemies with Lan Jiao, "This feeling… tsk tsk… it's like…"
"That's enough." Ruo Yu interrupted before she could finish his words, "I'd rather be harassed by you physically than listen to your next analogy."
Obviously, she felt that mental harassment was even worse.
"You two…" At this moment, Samodier, who was not far from them, happened to hear their conversation and couldn't help but interject, "I have a gar, I don't know if I should say it."
"What's a gar?" Brother Jue asked curiously.
"get_a_room." I don't know why, but Samodier's English seems to be quite fluent.
"Hehe…" Feng Bujue smiled, "Okay, let's get down to business…" He undoubtedly still remembered the main topic, "Actually, I'm just making a reasonable guess… Think about it, why has this war been going on for two whole years? If their forces were truly infinite, it wouldn't have taken so long, would it? Just based on these redundant soldiers we've seen today, even if Dou Mo didn't participate in the attack, which individual force could withstand it?
"However, the actual situation is that Dou Mo personally attacked many forces…
"This shows that—their plan is tailored to the individual and adapted to the circumstances, and the purpose is to avoid unnecessary losses.
"Take the Detective Club as an example, letting Dou Mo go alone, they can take it down without costing a single soldier, but if they let the redundant soldiers attack… although they should be able to take it down in the end, I don't know how much it will cost, after all, Zun-ge and Lao Wang are fighting on their home turf, and it probably won't be a problem for them to use various means to grind down tens of thousands of redundant soldiers.
"And for forces like your Illusory Demon Church, the Court of Truth, or the Blackbeard Pirates, it's better to send a large force to besiege them; because you either have many strongholds, or many people, or high mobility… if you let Dou Mo attack, you'll all scatter, making it difficult to wipe you out in one fell swoop.
"In short, the redundant soldiers are not the kind of troops that don't care about losses and never die, it takes time to accumulate their numbers.
"In addition, the Prime Universe is only so big, assuming you can take the entire Prime Universe with 200,000 troops, would you keep building soldiers until you have two million? No matter how cautious you are, you should stop after building 400,000.
"From this perspective, as long as you estimate the troops needed to capture each force, you can basically guess how many total existing troops the other side has."
As Feng Bujue explained, the area around them became more and more empty, because… at this moment, the redundant soldiers' lines were completely broken, and their numbers only decreased and did not increase.
With the Scavengers all wiped out, ordinary redundant soldiers will only attack without any tactics. They don't even have the concept of "escape," and they don't even know how to maneuver, so next, it's basically a one-sided soldier-clearing operation by the King's Army.
Seeing the victory within reach, the warriors of the Monster Kingdom were once again greatly encouraged, and they began to clean up the last remnants like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
And the players, at this time, don't need to join in the fun anymore. It's not worth risking the sky for a little bit of skill value, so they all chose to return to the ground to rest.
At this point, this battle that took place in the Monster Kingdom… and also the last battle line in the Prime Universe, has been decided.
After experiencing a night that lasted for two years, the warriors of the Prime Universe finally ushered in a glimmer of victory.
