Chapter 117: Chapter 117: The Close Combat Mage with Five Attribute Switching

"It’s a Mage unit, a long-range class."

"It’s not just Mages; there are hot air balloons too."

In the air floated clusters of hot air balloons, moving towards the aerial bombers and exploding upon contact.

The densely packed bombers suffered heavy damage, forced to disperse, exploring the tops of surrounding buildings while dropping TNT bombs on them.

But as the bombers advanced further, a third army appeared, an army of ant-men, only palm-sized but in astonishing numbers, each ant-man capable of easily moving objects a hundred times their own weight.

The ant-men were actually riding on the hot air balloons, ascending with them, and spraying large amounts of ant acid when nearing the bombers.

The sky suddenly poured a rain of acid.

A large number of bombers began to corrode visibly, with Rosen’s ranks quickly reduced to less than a third.

He ordered all bombers to be summoned back.

After testing, it was confirmed that the alliance situation of the opposing territory consisted of three lords, each commanding troops of Mages, hot air balloons, and ant-men respectively.

Only the enemy’s third-level units were disturbed in the initial peripheral invasion, with fourth and fifth-level units present further in.

"It’s a bit tricky, but we should be able to handle it," Tang Xichen said upon observing the situation.

"Why don’t we try wearing down their main forces first, then we can keep sending troops until we exhaust them," Rosen nodded.

"Then you guys lead the charge, and I’ll return to the territory to dispatch more troops," Ye Yuxuan said, and with their agreement, she returned to the territory.

Rosen turned back to Tang Xichen and said, "Among the troops I brought, only the Beastman Mecha can conduct aerial combat, which can cooperate with your Angel for an air strike, while my other troops will handle the fatigued ground troops and buildings."

"My Holy Order Legion can also assist you in attacking ground units."

The two strategized, dividing responsibilities for aerial and ground attacks.

However, the earlier sneaky attack by the bombers had already alerted the three lords inside the territory.

"A lord is attacking us, and they only sent a group of bombers to probe?" Lord Spike scoffed, "Our territory’s air defense is top-notch; it’s impossible for them to attack from the air."

"Unless they summon sixth-level units, there’s a possibility," Flat Head Lord replied.

"Air strikes are insignificant, the real decider of victory is the ground battle. Once my Physical Mages join, even fifth-level units can’t withstand them!" Bald Lord exclaimed.

The three lords were making sarcastic remarks, but in reality, they were experienced rulers who had awakened their territories for several years, having gone through numerous battle tournaments and could deploy very mature defensive strategies against invasions from other territories.

"The leader of the Fire Elders should be breaking through to this side soon; judging from the distance, he’ll arrive in half a day," Lord Spike chuckled.

"Once the Fire Elf arrives, won’t they scare away the opposing lord?" Flat Head Lord said with a laugh.

"Not necessarily. If the enemy has water-attribute units, they can counter the Fire Elf easily. Without that, ordinary non-attribute units wouldn’t be able to withstand him," Bald Lord said.

Just as the three chatted casually.

A massive army began attacking from outside!

"Hmm? They’re actually launching a direct attack!"

Surprised that despite seeing their territory’s scale, the enemy would still come seeking death voluntarily.

"Wow, they’ve brought a considerable number of troops, and quite a few fifth-level units among them."

"And they have Mecha units. Mages, your troops are particularly effective against Mecha."

"Don’t worry, I’ll let my Mages face off against their Mecha."

Deep in the territory, a group of about five hundred Close Combat Mages, escorted by a thousand long-range Mages, charged out.

Among the thousand Mages were two hundred Energy Bullet Mages, two hundred Flame Mages, two hundred Frost Mages, two hundred Thunder Mages, and two hundred Poison Bullet Mages.

All were fourth-level units.

The Close Combat Mages, enveloped among them, were fifth-level units.

Their power far exceeded that of the long-range Mages.

Comparable to the Dark Great Mage’s attribute setup, though it’s a seriously downsized version, possessing formidable close combat magic, with the added ability to switch between five elemental magics freely.

As the two forces clashed, Rosen’s Mechanical Beast Riders led the charge at the front, their jet-boosted Mechanical Battle Blades slicing rapidly through, killing many long-range Mages who couldn’t dodge in time with a few swift cuts.

With the Mechanical Beast Riders holding the front line, Rosen’s Beastman Armored Vehicles followed closely, their machine gun platforms constantly rotating under the cover of the Mechanical Beast Riders, firing penetrating bullets consecutively.

Compared to the Mechanical Beast Riders, the damage inflicted by the Beastman Armored Vehicles was even greater.

Seeing this, Lord Spike became serious, "I must admit, their Mecha is quite strong. My Mages are adept at countering Mecha, yet they’ve managed to annihilate so many of my Mages with reverse attributes?"

"It just means your Mages are performing mediocrely. Although their Mecha is also falling in large numbers, your Mages are depleting faster," Flat Head Lord quipped.

"It’s just the beginning. Watch how my Close Combat Mages perform." Lord Spike said, looking intensely at the Close Combat Mages about to engage with the Mecha army.

The Close Combat Mages were wrapped in an aura of species attributes, shifting at will, sometimes becoming blazing flames, sometimes rushing torrents of water, and other times swift and intangible lightning...

As the Mechanical Beast Riders engaged the Close Combat Mages, the Mages’ bodies formed an ice layer, significantly hindering the jet-boosted Mechanical Battle Blades that struck it.

Then tongues of flame emerged from the ice layer, burning towards the Mechanical Beast Riders and engulfing their exteriors in an instant, creating a powerful burning effect.

The life points of the Mechanical Beast Riders dropped directly by a quarter, accompanied by a burning status that continued to sap their life.

Following that came thunder, sweeping across as the Mechanical Beast Riders paused for a moment, the paralysis effect of the lightning causing a brief inability to move, losing half their life in a single strike!

After several rounds of probing by the Close Combat Mages, it was discovered that the Mechanical Beast Riders feared lightning attribute damage the most.

The Close Combat Mages subsequently began frequently using lightning attacks to harass the Mechanical Beast Riders.

It wasn’t just the Mechanical Beast Riders; the Beastman Armored Vehicles too, found themselves in a temporary state of ceasefire after being struck by the thunderbolt.

Lightning was truly the nemesis of Mecha, more effective than flames, indeed with nothing to spare.

Seeing this, Rosen was instantly reminded of the dread of being dominated by numerous electric towers in the Tower of Trial.

Knowing full well that in a paralyzed state, no offense or defense actions could be carried out.

The troops that had yet to fully invade were then called back, and Rosen equipped each of them with lightning immunity equipment he had previously obtained, then sent this group with immunity leading the charge against the Close Combat Mages.

In an instant, the Close Combat Mages’ attacks lost effect against Rosen’s Mecha, and moreover, the Close Combat Mages began to suffer relatively rapid casualties.
