Chapter 188: Air Supremacy
Herathan's so-called "Destroyer Guard" is still a group of "Wanderers".
However, these guys who had just been put on the battlefield by him were slightly different from the rest of their kind.
Outwardly, the "Doomers" were otherwise similar to their counterparts, except for the addition of a hood with demonic horns on their heads, and no wooden staff that looked like unlit torches.
Aside from their appearance, the destructive power of these mages is not comparable to that of ordinary banishes.
Ordinary Vault Dweller, at best, will release a fireball wall or something.
But these destruction mages are the spells of almost all fire mages all night.
On top of that, they can also unleash some very strange spells that are not at all a pro's skill.
Moreover, although the number of these destruction mages is small, only more than two hundred, their psionic level is very high.
According to Isha's detection, the psionic level of these destruction mages is generally as high as about 6.2, which has completely reached the level of monster clones.
However, after Isha used the Guardian King Worm to detect their biological fluctuations, she found that these guys were still monster projections, but they seemed to have been strengthened by someone with some kind of power, so they were extremely powerful.
In any case, the appearance of these destruction mages did cause great trouble for the front lines of the biters.
Not only can these guys cast high-level fire skills such as meteorites and hydra fire snakes, but they can also bless other monsters with a group spell with a berserk nature.
Monsters blessed with this spell will not only become more vicious, but also have a qualitative increase in the damage dealt by their attacks and all their speeds.
In addition, they are controlled by Herathan himself, and they have been wandering on the edge of the battlefield, not giving the saboteurs a chance to kill them one by one, but from time to time they will put a few meteorites down to test the protective ability of the swarm host shield.
Xue Hua had also ordered the Alien Dragons and the Heavy Artillery Governor to take "key care" of these guys, but Herathan, who had suffered a loss, had fully understood the destructive power of the Zerg air force.
Therefore, whenever the dragons approached the mages of destruction at their speed, these guys would always run far ahead of them.
And if the dragons want to pursue, they will immediately encounter a large group of angry and desperate desperate resistance.
Not to mention the Heavy Artillery Governor, who almost completely refused to let the Doom Mages face each other with the behemoth, and these destructive Turret Mages would always dodge the Heavy Artillery Governor's fire before it could cover them, giving the Heavy Artillery Governor a chance to lock on to their position.
Under the influence of these destruction mages, the battle situation was at a stalemate for a while, and the swarm was forced to retreat into the shield protection of the swarm host, and the strange tide could not do any damage to the forward line of the swarm under the powerful medium and long-range alternating fire of the saboteurs and stinging snakes.
However, if it continues like this, it will be the swarm that will suffer in the end, because the psionic energy reserves of the swarm host are limited after all, and if they continue to withstand this level of attack, it is impossible for their psionic energy recovery speed to keep up with the consumption.
But if this group of destruction mages is not eliminated, with their powerful spell-casting ability and a certain amount of anger in coordination, Xue Hua's behavior of wanting to shift his position will become quite dangerous.
"Isa, is there any way to do it?"
Xue Hua frowned and asked the adjutant for advice.
"Juggernaut, you can hatch some Corruptors to work with the Artosaurus to quickly seize air supremacy on the battlefield, so that the Arlosaurus will not be disrupted in its pursuit of important enemy targets.
And due to the special environment of the current battlefield, the Corruptor's firepower can be used on the ground in this environment, which will further enhance the firepower output of the swarm, and also enable the Corruptor to cooperate with the Allosaurus to fully suppress the enemy's firepower projection. ”
"I see! I've forgotten where I'm now! ”
After listening to Isha's suggestion, Xue Hua slammed his palm.
The reason why he hadn't hatched the Corruptor before was because there weren't any monsters in the Mystic Sanctuary that could compete with the dragons for air supremacy.
In his impression, the Corrupter is a kind of air combat biological warship, whose role is specifically used to seize air supremacy.
It wasn't until Isha's suggestion just now that he woke him up, reality is not a game, and in a different combat environment, who said that anti-aircraft weapons can't cause damage to ground units?
The platform corridors of the Mystic Sanctuary are suspended in the void, and in essence, the entire Mystic Sanctuary can be seen as a giant warship unit.
In such a combat environment, the Corruptor should be able to strike enemies in all positions within the Sanctuary.
Thinking of this, Xue Hua's mood quickly relaxed, and he directly ordered Isha to quickly hatch six corruptors to join the battle, first helping the dragons to gain air supremacy on the battlefield, and then using environmental factors to carry out ground fire support missions with the heavy artillery governor.
As soon as the order was given, the hatchery in the Leviathan began to work.
Soon, six Corruptors swam out of the Dimensional Cave with their heads and tails wagging their tails.
As soon as these corruptors appeared on the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield immediately changed dramatically.
Obviously, the gravityless environment of the Void is the best home for the Corruptors compared to the atmosphere.
They appear to be at ease here, roaming very freely between the corridors and platforms of the sanctuary.
And, as Isha said, the Corruptors are perfectly capable of striking ground units in this environment.
They only need to reduce their flight altitude a little and adjust the beak-shaped main cannon in front of their brain to an angle parallel to the battlefield, and they can bombard the battlefield indiscriminately with their extremely fast parasitic spore cannons.
Moreover, after the Corruptor appeared on the battlefield, the anger that had been suppressed by the Xenosaurus fell into a desperate situation, and the Corruptor's powerful main cannon and all-round stinging needle melee defense cannon became their nemesis.
Air supremacy was soon firmly controlled by the swarm, and the Destruction Mages finally lost their last aerial barrier.
In this case, Herathan had to order the mages of destruction to quickly retreat to the rear, these were a group of demon projections that he had strengthened with great difficulty based on some research on demons in Talasya's notes, although they were still projection-level in terms of spiritual intelligence, but their combat power was not lost to ordinary clones at all.
In order to strengthen these two hundred destruction mages, Herathan can be said to have wasted all his strength to do so.
He was counting on this group of enhanced minions as a model to slowly transform the minions in the entire sanctuary.
How could such an important unit be lost here at such a time?
However, while Herathan wisely allowed the Mages of Destruction to retreat, the purpose of the Dragons and the Corruptor was more than just to force them back.
Taking advantage of their flight and speed, the Zerg's air units quickly caught up with the fleeing group of mages.
The next moment, a large number of blade insects rained down from the sky, mixed with parasitic spore shells that emitted green light.
The mages of destruction had no choice but to turn around and fight, their bodies lit up with a cloak of flames, and the pair of demonic horns on their hoods lit up with a dazzling red light.
The first round of attacks by the Xenosaurus and the Corruptor smashed these monsters, but the effect was not as good as expected.
The bladeworms fired by the allosaurus are burned to ashes the moment they get close to the flaming cloak on the mages of destruction, and only the Corruptor's parasitic spore cannonballs can deal effective damage to them.
However, fortunately, there are enough dragons, dozens of times that of the destruction mages, and the fire coat on the destruction mage is obviously limited, so there are still more than a dozen destruction mages who were killed by the first round of attacks of the swarm.
This result made Xue Hua a little dissatisfied, but he didn't know that Herathan, who was hiding in the main hall, was about to jump up from his chair in distress at the moment.
More than a dozen mages of destruction were killed in a single raid, and although the counterattack of the mages of destruction also succeeded in killing more dragons, due to the fact that the number gap between the two was too large, coupled with the preciousness of the mages of destruction, it was still Herathan who suffered the most.
The total number of mages of destruction is only more than two hundred, and each death is equivalent to tearing the flesh of Herald.
The Zerg Air Force had just killed more than a dozen of them at once, which was even more painful for him than picking his skin.
"Filthy bastard! Fat maggots in the thatched pit! How dare you do such harm to Lord Herathan's precious servants!
I'm going to make you pay!! ”
