Otaku Witch
Chapter 876 - 876: 556. Skirmish and Stalemate

"Damn, my King's Power..."

"Stop whining, your mechanical body doesn't feel pain, so why are you yelling? Someone come and fill this diva's spot, I can't hold on much longer."

"Hang in there, sister, let me take over."

"Where's the medic—no, the repair technician? My butt's stuck in a tree, could you help me out?"

....

At the border between the two nations, an incredibly fierce war was raging. The battle situation was extremely tense, with the fearless mechanical army continuously charging forward and the formidable Angel Legion being unstoppable. Both sides exchanged blows, with victories and defeats on each end.

Though occasionally the bizarre cries and wails from the witches within the mechanical army spoiled the atmosphere a bit, if you ignored the noisy antics of these misfits, the ferocity of this war was undoubtedly worthy of being called a divine battle by future generations.

After all, purely in terms of strength, the combat power of individual mechanical witches was pretty weak. Ten mechanical witches might not even be able to slow down one Angel Warrior.

But the witches had numbers on their side. If ten couldn't do it, they would send twenty. With their mechanical bodies impervious to pain, they were fearless in the face of death. If they couldn't win, they would choose to self-destruct their bodies, charging suicidally.

Like ants overwhelming an elephant, the mechanical witches were unafraid of sacrifice. Once a body was destroyed, another would take its place. They had a plentiful reserve of spare bodies.

However, the situation was more dire for the angels. Despite their great strength, their casualties were currently minimal.

But any casualties were still casualties, especially with no reinforcements for the angels. Their losses would continue to grow heavier.

There was no longer any Glorious Divine Kingdom. Without the source of faith from believers, they lost the ability to summon new angels. If an existing Angel Warrior fell, they lost one forever.

Thus, the bloody and brutal war dragged on.

The powerful angels wielded their Holy Fire weapons, each move flashing with blinding Holy Light and scorching Holy Fire, ruthlessly and indiscriminately sweeping away everything in front of them.

Meanwhile, the comparatively fragile mechanical witches weren't a match for the angels in direct combat, often falling in one hit like cannon fodder.

But the witches had their own unique techniques for overcoming stronger foes.

God of War Skills: Eight Trigrams Formation.

Through Dorothy's formidable rule, akin to the will of the legendary but nonexistent Master of All Machines, every mechanical body on the battlefield was linked. The program named "Eight Trigrams Formation Even a Fool Can Understand" was written into each mechanical witch's database.

By following the algorithm's instructions and guidance, the mechanical witches could naturally master this advanced God of War skill without any need for training.

Thus, the mechanical witches often formed small teams of eight or sixteen before they entered the battlefield. They would assemble their team in the preparation area and then head to battle together.

Even the souls of fallen mechanical witches would return to the preparation area, activate a spare mechanical body, form a new team, and head back to the battlefield.

This process repeated endlessly.

It's like randomly matching teammates in a game to fight as a group.

Fight and die, die and fight again—it allowed for limitless revivals.

The aid provided by the Eight Trigrams Formation eliminated any pressure in forming teams and prevented worries about incompetent teammates. Everyone was perfectly coordinated.

Even if some lower-level witches lacked strength or skills, it didn't matter. The "Eight Trigrams Formation Even a Fool Can Understand" program algorithm adapted to each host's strength, ensuring every witch could maximize their role within their capability.

As such, the actual combat power of a standard Eight Trigrams Formation team far exceeded the sum of its parts. Their combined combat power easily surpassed sixteen, and as the witches became more accustomed to the formation, their coordination improved further, causing this combat power to continue rising.

This way, the weakness of individual mechanical witches wasn't as impactful.

While they couldn't compete with the Elite Angels individually, they could as a team.

An eight-person witch team often held off an Elite Angel for a long time. If they encountered an exceptionally powerful angel, they could seek aid through the guidance of the God of War, merging teams for reinforcement.

Two eight-person teams could combine into sixteen, and if that's not enough, they could call for more, forming a team of thirty-two.

Throughout the battlefield, an invisible hand commanded the mechanical witch army, always steering them to execute correct actions with precision and efficiency.

It was micro-manipulation, a near-perfect art of battlefield control.

Of course, the mechanical witches excelled at micro-manipulation, but the command of the Angel Legion was equally impressive.

Another God of War's will coordinated all the angels, linking them with heavenly revelation radiance and providing powerful legion buffs, which continuously enhanced their already formidable strength.
