Chapter 439: Chapter 439 Aerial Battle and the Devourer

Although it seemed that no conditions had been met, the King and his ministers all breathed a sigh of relief.

Because they were, after all, able to negotiate, previous negotiations with other Undead had been futile. Now, the only concern was whether the Southern regions were deceiving them.

Unfortunately, they no longer had any room for bargaining.

All they could do now was gamble that the various pieces of information obtained from the South weren’t fake.

The aerial battle had already reached a fever pitch, and the aerial strength under Fang Jie’s command was undoubtedly his trump card. The numerous and formidable forces were simply not something that the Northern allied forces could contend with.

The North did have their own territory, but it seemed the scale wasn’t that large, at least there was no abundance of special troop buildings or powerful special structures.

Otherwise, it would be impossible that after such a long time, they would still have only such a paltry military force.

Moreover, looking at the strength of their soldiers, none had reached the peak of each level; it was unknown whether they were reluctant to upgrade the troop buildings or if they simply couldn’t satisfy the conditions to do so.

But considering it, they probably didn’t want to upgrade intentionally, or else how could they not be able to upgrade after building the structures.

Fang Jie wasn’t very clear about the specific circumstances, but such a situation should still be quite favorable.

That’s right, Fang Jie had already arrived at the front lines, not at the very front but hiding behind here. This battle, which could determine the allegiance of so many humans, was something Fang Jie had come to watch in person.

He didn’t even bring the two little foxes, only some guards by his side.

From a great distance, Fang Jie had the Death Crow perch at the edge of the scene for observation.

"What is that? This battle mode is so strange."

Suddenly, Fang Jie saw the other side use a special type of Undead, a dark and massive bird, but with an exceptionally large belly. Flying seemed difficult despite a decent speed, which was mostly in a straight line.

Even making a turn appeared to be laborious, and it was unclear what its purpose was.

But with such a big belly, it was hard to know if it might spew something special.

Thus, as soon as it got near, all the nearby Undead promptly scattered. What Fang Jie didn’t expect was that the creature had a very small head, yet was quite agile. Suddenly, it aimed its head at a Skeleton Flying Dragon and then opened its mouth.

Instantly, a tremendous force came forth, and the Skeleton Flying Dragon desperately struggled but couldn’t break free. In just a few seconds, the Skeleton Flying Dragon was completely devoured.

"Dammit, what is this thing? Wait, it’s trying to escape, stop it."

The response from the Hero Units on the front lines was even quicker; seeing that creature suddenly devour one of their forces and attempt to flee, they promptly signaled the surrounding forces to attack.

Unfortunately, due to too swift a reaction, the other side used ten thousand special troops.

In that instant, ten thousand Gold Level Troops under Fang Jie’s command vanished. Soon after, surrounding forces converged, but they faced siege and interception from others.

Yet, half of the forces managed to catch up. The combat power of this thing was truly pathetic, and just a few attacks upon catching up were enough to destroy it. Sadly, the fallen Devourer disappeared along with the enemy it had consumed.

Fang Jie now knew that this thing was called the Devourer.

From the name alone, one could guess their mode of attack. "Damn it, if only I’d known what this thing was called earlier, I would have been prepared," Fang Jie cursed in frustration but then started to analyze and observe.

"Devourers digest Gold Level Troops within about ten minutes. If they’re Silver Level, they can be digested in at most one minute. The direction of devouring is fixed, and they can only consume one."

Ten minutes later, when those things attacked again, Fang Jie had already made his analysis.

Although these creatures were under the enemy’s protection, the well-prepared allied forces weren’t so easily defeated.

With Fang Jie’s command, numerous Silver Flying Soldiers appeared near the frontline Gold Troops approaching the Devourers, which meant that if one wasn’t careful, the Devourers might ingest something other than intended.

If they devoured Silver troops, that loss wouldn’t amount to much.

After all, the Devourers themselves were Gold Level forces.

"When Devourers consume Gold Level Troops, the troops have the ability to struggle for a few seconds. During this time, the Devourers themselves can’t move and are very vulnerable, so it’s advisable for multiple Gold Level Troops to stick together."

The reformation took place again in the rear, and with these preparations, it wasn’t as easy for the Devourers to succeed.

Yet each time, the Devourers were still able to capture some, devouring some of the allied forces.

"It seems that the reason why we caught up with so many the first time is due to their own doing," Fang Jie suddenly revealed a smile, realizing that those Undead who had banded together were not so harmonious after all.

Fang Jie understood that had it not been for the fact that part of their own forces didn’t want to protect the Devourers, it wouldn’t have been so easy for him to annihilate half the Devourers in one go.

Of course, this was also because they hadn’t anticipated their enemy’s speed.

On one hand, relying on his trump card, and on the other fearing the strength of his troops. In some sense, these intelligent Undead, lacking a rigid hierarchy, were not so different from humans or other intelligent beings.

Or rather, in the art of craft and deception, these Undead were far inferior to humans.

With Fang Jie’s multiple preparations and the coordination of those forces, it didn’t take long for the number of Devourers to be reduced to under two thousand. However, the loss on his side was also heavy.

For those eight thousand Devourers, this side sacrificed over thirty thousand Gold Level Troops, nearly four times that of the enemy.

Even for Fang Jie at this moment, the loss was deeply felt. The resources invested for over thirty thousand troops were over three hundred, which after Fission had turned into thirty thousand.

Wait, over three hundred, thinking about it, didn’t seem so painful, Fang Jie thought somewhat relieved.

Never mind, why bother with so much, better to end this battle first. Although those Devourers are dangerous, those enemies aren’t that formidable.

Right now, the mood among the Undead’s higher echelons on the other side wasn’t good at all.

"How does that Human Undead Mage have such a powerful territory, how did he manage it?"

"Yes, I’d like to know as well, it’s not so easy for an Undead’s territory to develop. Although we live long, we are also suppressed by the world; humans don’t have such long lifespans."
