The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 1189 - 414: Mechanical Myth

"We can't go on like this; continuing will only allow them to rely on strong individual power to break us down one by one. We must unleash our strength and eliminate them!"

"Card King" thought to himself, but his face showed no change in expression.

He knew clearly, as the strongest combat power on this side, he couldn't show any sign of weakness.

With a gritted teeth, he threw out five cards, each turning into an eighth-ranked mechanical summoned creature, and shouted:

"What are you waiting for?

The probing is over, isn't it time to show your true strength!"

The card powerhouses around him were somewhat stunned, not expecting him to say this, but they understood his intention and once again sacrificed a batch of cards, summoning a new wave of creatures.

Even though the insect swarm just burst in a wave and took away a few, the number at this time didn't decrease but increased instead.

Moreover, compared to before, the number has now transformed qualitatively.

Each card powerhouse's summoned creatures could now cooperate with each other, almost making each Insect Clan equivalent to fighting a full-fledged eighth-rank team alone!

Even the insect swarm felt the pressure multiply, suddenly entangled in combat.

But the battlefield is never just a "dogfight", not just a high-tier battleground!

After this delay, Bai Yi's reinforcements from the rear territory were finally gathered.

Bai Yi had given the insect swarm the opportunity to mobilize all resources in the territory. Aside from not being able to bring those warships over, other races could be deployed!

And with this many seventh-ranked enemies, how could the insect swarm not summon the high-level witches!

The reason they didn't arrive instantly was because the high-level witches were either stationed in various dungeon worlds or following another avatar in some dungeon world.

It took time to gather them from other worlds.

After the entanglement, the witches from the rear had arrived on the battlefield!

Apart from those seventh-ranked witches joining the fight below, two witches from the support group broke away from the main force, diving into the eighth-rank battlefield in the sky rather than joining the battle below.

One of them was, of course, the strongest combat power in Bai Yi's territory, Magga.

The other, also displaying eighth-rank power, was Bai Yi's newly promoted powerhouse!

During the world invasions and rescue missions recently, Bai Yi had exchanged enough Lord Coins to gain a new eighth-rank promotion permit!

After much deliberation, this spot ultimately went to another most useful Pseudo-9th Tier powerhouse Bai Yi had acquired on Maga Star—Stica, master of concealment abilities.

With the addition of two eighth-ranks, the originally balanced eighth-rank battlefield suddenly shifted.

With a spell surpassing ordinary eighth-rank standards, the first strike succeeded in collaboration with Stica's abilities to take down two eighth-rank summoned creatures.

Even though the numerical disadvantage hadn't significantly changed, the pressure on the Insect Clan had greatly decreased.

Realizing this battle was unlikely to yield results, "Card King" tightened his fists and then relaxed them, finally making up his mind.

"Retreat!"

The order was not only for the eighth-rank powerhouses beside him but also for the coalition below.

He didn't need to directly engage in the battle; he was not only focused on this particular battlefield but was also aware of the real situation down below.

They were indeed suppressing the opponent's eighth-ranks above, but the disadvantage for their coalition below was more evident.

Now that they had eighth-rank reinforcements, breaking through became impossible. If they didn't retreat now, should they wait for the coalition below to suffer heavy losses, and they lose a few more cards before retreating?

Since the coalition's main combat power relied on cards, retreating was far simpler compared to a regular army. Otherwise, more lives might be lost in this retreat.

Seeing the retreat below was almost complete, "Card King" threw a few more cards, causing a large-scale sticky magic power surge. His summoned creatures transformed back into cards in his hand.

Looking at the mere three cards left in his hand, he felt extremely distressed.

But he had no time to linger. With a sweeping glance at the numerous injured eighth-rank insect clans, he swiftly retreated at light speed with his people.

Seeing the enemies genuinely retreating, Bai Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She assigned the two healthiest eighth-rank witches for vigilance while all the eighth-rank insect swarms retreated.

Apart from the Life Insect Race with corresponding abilities and the Destiny Insect Race due to their inherent abilities, the rest of the eighth-ranks almost all bore varying degrees of injuries.

From missing limbs to the severely penetrated bodies.

Even the insect clan's innate self-healing abilities were suppressed by 8th-rank priority inhibition abilities, stunting the growth of blood flesh.

With Bai Yi consistently monitoring their condition, providing emergency spurts of energy and temporary healing, they narrowly avoided falling.

Otherwise, the fall is minor; the loss of abnormal objects is the real concern.

Although the enemy's eighth-rank combatants were indeed weaker, their overwhelming numbers were the issue.

Just like wielding guns; you may be a special forces soldier who can use experience against one or two similarly armed opponents, but when the enemies reach a certain number, you can only be suppressed by firepower.

The same logic applied to the insect swarm.

Faced with enemies six to seven times their number, they could only feel defeated.
