Game of the World Tree-Chapter 387

Perone had never seen an army that coordinated so seamlessly and moved so swiftly.

It was as if they had a prearranged plan all along.

The newly arrived allied elven army and the reformed beast cavalry charged into the dark alliance’s forces almost simultaneously in a spearhead formation…

The dark army, which was already in a state of disarray due to their hasty formation, was torn apart once again by the elven cavalry…

However, this time was different.

As the elven cavalry pierced through the dark army’s formation, another elven battalion seized the opportunity to attack from another direction.

Accompanied by loud roars of battle cries akin to tidal waves, they flanked them from the south, completely dividing the dark alliance’s forces apart.

What followed was an unforgettable sight the dark alliance higher-ups situated on the hills would never forget.

Despite their numerical superiority and overall strength, the dark alliance’s army was effortlessly torn to pieces by the combined elven battalions’ rapid penetration maneuvers and incisive attacks.

Then, shortly afterward, the second wave of elven and Hermetic Alliance reinforcements surrounded and overwhelmed the disorganized dark army.

If one were to use an analogy, at that moment, the dark alliance’s army resembled a delectable feast, with the elven cavalry serving as the knives and forks as they repeatedly pierced and sliced, dividing the dark army into pieces…

Then, these fragmented dark forces were swallowed by the mixed elven battalions like a ravenous maw.

The primary reason this devastating situation was achieved was mainly due to the impeccable coordination of the elves…

Individually, each elf might be weak.

But at this moment, they fought together as one united force.

Despite the chaotic state of the battlefield, the tens of thousands of elven participants moved about with precise coordination, their actions perfectly synchronized, executing attacks and withdrawals in almost perfect unison…

In that moment, each elves seemed to have become one, single entity.

To the Lich King, it felt as though these were not tens of thousands of elves with their own individual minds, but a synchronous collection of countless people under a unifying collective hivemind…

Such power of unity was quite frankly, terrifying.

The difference between Iron and Silver ranks wasn’t insurmountable.

And a single Iron-rank mage’s magic may not be enough to pose a threat to a Silver-ranked expert…

But if one thousand or ten thousand Iron-rankers simultaneously cast spells all at the same place at the same time, then—their combined power could easily shred any silver-rank experts into pieces!

Quantity transforming into quality—this was the essence employed by the elves and exactly what they were currently doing.

This seemingly simple coordination was incredibly difficult to execute, yet these elves performed it as effortlessly as if they were merely doing a mundane task like drinking water.

Even the Silver-ranked experts of the dark alliance couldn’t help but turn pale at the chilling sight of such a fearsome elven army.

Thus, under the elves’ precise coordination, the massive dark alliance army found itself at a disadvantage due to its own bloated formation.

They couldn’t effectively counterattack against the elves’ efficient coordination and had to rely on their experience to resist.

At this moment, with the elves’ relentless assault, the command system of the dark alliance’s army had nearly almost been paralyzed.

It’s not that the dark army’s commanders were killed, but rather that they could no longer precisely control their troops effectively.

In fact, this characteristic is seen in most large-scale battles involving cold weapons, including those fought on Earth.

Essentially, when the number of soldiers reaches a certain point and the armies are fully engaged in a full-scale battle, precise command will become ineffective.

At that point, commanders can only issue rudimentary orders like “retreat” or “charge,” as fine-tuned micro-commands are almost impossible to be communicated effectively amidst the chaos of battle.

Even then, these broad commands may not be fully conveyed and reach every units at all.

Nonetheless, who could have expected such a battlefield anomaly to happen right before his eyes?

The Lich King still couldn’t figure out how the commanders of these elves managed to convey their commands to every unit within their battalions with such precision.

In the first place, even after carefully observing their ranks, Perone was left bewildered as he couldn’t even identify where this supposed elven commander was amidst their intricate formation.

It made no sense at all!

To him, it seemed as if no one was visibly giving orders, yet these elves’ movements and actions unmistakably indicated the presence of a well-organized command structure!

However, the situation on the battlefield did not allow him to ponder such a mystery, as the dark alliance’s army would surely be devoured bit by bit by these elves if this downward trend continued.

Taking a deep breath, the Lich King gave a solemn command:

“All high-ranking warriors, gather and eliminate those heavily armored knights at the forefront of the elven cavalry!”

After observing for so long, he realized that the crux of the elves’ success lay largely in their nearly twenty thousand cavalry units.

The reason why the elven cavalry can be lethal as swords was because of the heavily armored elven knights in the front row!

The defensive capability of those heavily armored knights was too high, and they could also charge at the enemy, crushing everything in their path one after another, yet remaining unscathed in the aftermath…

It was utterly astonishing.

The Lich King believed that if the few golden-ranked experts on his side could unite to eliminate those strange heavy cavalry at the vanguard, their situation would definitely change in their favor!

While a silver-rank warrior might need to avoid the elves’ sharp offensive, a golden-ranked expert were an entirely different story.

The gap between high-rank and mid-low rank warriors was vast, and the lack of high-ranking experts was the most fatal flaw on the elves’ side!

The turning point of this battle would likely hinge on how the high-ranking experts is strategically deployed.

Following Perone’s command, seven golden-ranked experts from the dark alliance army immediately sprang into action one after another…

A Death knight and dwarf warriors collaborated impeccably and charged straight into the elven cavalry. Meanwhile, two blood warlocks chanted spells to support their attack.

The cooperation among these golden-rank experts was highly effective. novelbuddy.cσ๓

In an instant, they used their formidable power to tear through the elves like slaughtering chickens, causing the elven formation to falter for the first time…

Seeing the elves’ formation disrupted and his own troops regaining composure, the Lich King felt a moment of relief.

Alas, the relief he felt was short-lived.

Just as the Dark Alliance’s golden-rank experts engaged and the elves’ assault slowed, a resounding dragon roar echoed through the vicinity.

Whilst emitting an awe-inspiring dragon aura, a menacing black dragon with a wingspan of over sixty meters abruptly appeared on the battlefield.

It hovered above the elven army for a bit, before puffing up its cheeks, and unleashed a thick stream of dragon breath towards the several golden-rank experts of the dark alliance…
