Rishi saw that while the Wyvern Riders were patrolling the area, their numbers were not that large; only fifty were patrolling. They were taking turns. Giving these guys time to react was not the right decision, as they were weak and helpless while they were not in the air.
It was like fighting an aircraft on land compared to the sky. No matter how advanced it was, the aircraft would be vulnerable. From his past experience, he knew taking them down was not easy when they were in the air. It also increased the chance of some of them slipping away.
So he had decided not to give them any chance to fly. He carefully scanned the area and formulated the best plan. From what he could see, this town was not that big like the previous one; this one had fewer lizards. His plan was divided into three simple steps.
First, shoot down the opponents in the air.
Second: Ambush the ones on the ground, preparing to fly.
Third: Eliminate all.
With 25,000 Shadow Soldiers against 6000 opponents, there was no way Skinks Lizardman had even a slight chance to win. It was overkill; Rishi didn't even need to participate, but he decided to, as it would help him increase his killing intent.
After eliminating so many opponents, he was not far from moving it to the third stage. After he enters this stage, he will be able to control his killing intent. That would make his ambush so lethal that not even his opponent's sixth sense and danger instincts would be able to sense his attack. In theory, it should also make most perception-type abilities useless, which would make it very hard to detect the path of his socks.
He took out his bow and knocked on an arrow. He also summoned Shadow Archers and Shadow Wyvern Riders. He aimed with them at the patrolling Wyvern Riders. The Shadow Archers also aimed and selected their targets. These archers were excellent; they have good aim.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm They were the reason, despite having such an advantage, the Skinks were not cocky enough to rage a battle against the Saurus tribe. If Skinks had an aerial advantage, then land was the domain of the Saurus tribe. In a frontal battle, Raptor Riders would tear apart their infantry in seconds.
However, strength could not be measured like that; Skinks relied on a hit-and-run strategy, which made their ambush more lethal. They both had their own fighting style, which had its own pros and cons.
'Swish' multiple arrows were released together; they moved toward their targets, tearing through the air. The cries echoed in the skies, and bodies started raining. 'Whoosh' multiple Shadow Wyverns launched towards the sky and started attacking. The Archers also shoot again.
Rishi used 'Shadow Blink' multiple times and appeared in the area where Wyvern rested. He used shadow artillery and chakras to strike them down. The Orb also released himself from his hands and started summoning the Shadow Army. It was as if darkness had shrouded the place.
Cries echoed endlessly as one after another lizardman was slaughtered. No one was spared; the priest had succeeded in casting the summoning spell this time, and a large Moster Horde had appeared, but instead of being scared, the Shadow Army was more excited.
The battle continued, and the water of the swamp became green from the blood of the Lizardman. Everything was destroyed; not even one was spared. Rishi searched for their treasure and collected all the loot; after eliminating them, he now had an additional 300 Shadow Wyvern Riders. Making a total of 800 Shadow Wyvern Riders, this was a very lethal flying cavalry.
For land, he had 17 thousand infantry and two thousand raptor riders under his command. This force was massive; it was more than enough to remove both Naya and Puna towns from the map. He then again asked the Shadow Army to enter the orb; his eyes also shifted toward the western side.
The main base of the Saurus Tribe was left; after he had defeated them, he would be able to conquer this region. The moment he did this, this whole area would transform. The strength of the Shadow Shrine would increase, and the Shadow Army would also gain a massive boost while fighting in this area.
Once captured, this region would be almost impossible to take. He would also be able to focus on his breakthrough to the Epic Stage. He didn't know how large this realm was. Raven had told him that it was around 500 times this region, which meant that this was only a small step.
"To think of conquering this small realm, I have to fight almost 6 million opponents, a mighty force of six Lizardman kingdoms. I have only fought against two types of Lizardman; how different would the remaining four types be? It might take longer than I initially guessed."
He started moving toward the west, saying, There is no need to think about it, one step at a time. The authority I possess here to turn even the opponents stronger than me into Shadow Soldiers and command them is my real strength here; I just have to defeat them with strategy."
"Even if I am able to summon so many of them, I would run out of shadow energy in a day or two. It's only a guess for now; I will know for sure when I am capable of such feet. It's only possible to control so many of them now due to Raven and the 'Lord of Shadows'."
He reached the area and saw that they were prepared. More than twenty troops and the Army were ready to greet him. He looked at them, and his lips curled up into a smirk. It looks like there is no need for me to hold back; I would be better this way."
His figure appeared in the sky in front of the Lizardman Army. Four large black wings flapped gently, giving him a wordly presence, but when the opponents saw that he was only in peak Elite Stage, they disdained looking down on him.
Rishi ignored them and took out the orb. It spun, and the patterns on it lit up. Black-colored ink started raining from it towards his back; the next moment, countless black-colored creatures lined up behind him. They covered the whole area; there were multiple priests, Wyvern Riders, and Raptor Riders included in his army.
There were even salamanders and other beasts. This massive army and the presence it released shook everyone in the Lizardman Army camp. They started getting serious this time. The eyes of Rishi and the priest leading met.
The next moment, battle cries echoed from both sides, and both armies started clashing. The priests started using buff skills to increase the strength of their armies. The cavalry of both sides started clashing; the Raptors clashed against each other while the Riders jabbed their spears, dealing massive blows.
The formation was activated by both sides, wasting no more time. The Shadow Guardian and the Forest Dragon started clashing with each other. The impact of the battle terrified everyone who witnessed it. There had not been such a fierce war in this region for such a long time.
It was the battle for authority over this region, and once the result came, it would be decided who would rule over this region. The shrines would be destroyed, and new ones would be made. The rules were simple: the winner gets it all, be it the resources, authority, or control of the creatures in this region.
