Chapter 1770: The Great Battle Begins
Although the Worm Lord is formidable in ground attacks, it has almost no resistance against air units; even the weakest air units can defeat the Worm Lord.
However, Li Yao’s air force is strong enough; the Worm Lord’s ability to destroy buildings alone is already a formidable auxiliary unit.
Li Yao’s air force is quite formidable, with Dragons, Gryphons, and fighter jets capable of engaging any air units head-on. Especially with the evolution of the Queen Worm, their abilities have been further enhanced, becoming aces.
Particularly, there are two hundred Steel Frost Giant Dragons, breakers that can dispel, and hunters that can assassinate.
This gives Li Yao an absolute advantage in air battles.
It can be said that the fusion of the Worm Tribe and steel allows Li Yao’s army to possess comprehensive forces for air, ground, and even underground battles.
Li Yao’s plan is to wage war to sustain war; the initial battles were not only to confuse the enemy but primarily to continue accumulating energy units. Now, though there are many energy units, they are still far from having the force needed to conquer the main city.
Li Yao’s ultimate ideal state is for his private army to break through the ten million mark, which would give him some confidence. The final battle for the main city is bound to be extremely fierce, and even ten million might not be enough.
Li Yao envisions that by the time they reach the Ogre Main City, the Destroyers and Thunder Beasts will each number four million, giving him some confidence against the unrivaled ground combat power of the Ogre Legion.
The ground combat power of the Ogres is unparalleled, even more violent and formidable than Tauren and Orcs—a veritable humanoid tank.
Moreover, the Ogre ground forces are well-equipped, with melee classes using Fist Savage Warriors and long-handled weapons Berserkers.
The long-range Magician forces are formidable, along with Hunter units, and even a few Shamans.
