Lord: My troops can evolve indefinitely.

On the battlefield, the situation remains tense.

Although the human forces had the advantage on the ground, they could only maintain a defensive posture in the face of wave after wave of undead troops.

As for the air, it's already the domain of the undead.

Although Zhou Fa mobilized a large number of long-range firepower to attack the undead air force, the effect was not good.

Especially the gargoyle troops, whose hard stone skin helped them withstand a lot of damage when facing a rain of arrows from archers.

Even if your health is completely depleted, once you land in the horde of undead behind you, turning into a stone statue will quickly restore you to your original state.

Although the wraiths were contained by the mage units, the gargoyle units alone were already proving difficult for the human forces to handle.

The ground troops were focused on dealing with the enemy in front of them, and each dive by the gargoyles caused heavy casualties.

The situation gradually began to tilt in favor of the undead.

"The situation is not looking good," Luo Xuan observed silently.

He did not act rashly. If the human race gained the upper hand, he would just watch without intervening.

However, it seems he needs to do something now.

Otherwise, if this wave of human troops were wiped out, these rampaging undead would definitely tear apart all the creatures in sight nearby.

Taking advantage of their height and mobility, the gargoyles swooped down repeatedly, attacking the human army's rear lines. Their sharp claws and fangs posed a constant threat to mages and archers.

Zhou Fa frowned as he looked at the scene before him. The front line and the central army could hold out against the undead ground forces, but the air force was a much bigger problem.

If the gargoyles are allowed to run rampant on the back line, the defense will definitely have problems in the long run.

Zhou Fa subconsciously looked around, searching for an opportunity to break the deadlock.

Although his personal guards were elite, they also lacked anti-air capabilities.

Left with no other choice, Zhou Fa could only order a portion of the spearmen at the rear to hold their spears upright and thrust them into the air.

If the gargoyle lunges downwards, immediately counterattack.

While this approach isn't ideal, it's certainly the best Zhou Fa can think of at the moment.

With the pikemen providing cover, the gargoyles suffered some losses with each dive attack.

Thanks to the intimidation of the spearmen, the gargoyles no longer dared to launch attacks as recklessly as before.

The mages and archers were able to catch their breath briefly before launching a counterattack to support the front lines.

Because some of the pikemen were transferred away, the previously smoothly functioning front line is now under considerable pressure, and the battle line has been pushed back by the undead forces.

Just when the situation was extremely tense, several spider webs suddenly flew out from the south of the battlefield and caught several gargoyles that were caught off guard.

Upon seeing this, the nearby pikemen didn't even need to think; they instinctively raised their spears and thrust, instantly dispatching several gargoyles without giving them a chance to react.

"Well done, Lilith, keep it up!"

Upon receiving Luo Xuan's order, Lilith, who was hiding at the edge of the battlefield, immediately continued to spew spider webs.

Luo Xuan himself did not expect that Lilith's spider web would come in so useful at this time.

As more and more gargoyles were captured by Lilith's net, the commotion attracted the attention of both the human and undead armies.

"What's going on there?" Although he had a general idea of ​​the situation, Zhou Fa, as the commander, still needed the most detailed information to understand the situation.

Coincidentally, that area was where Shi Qing was stationed, and he was the first to recognize Lilith and then send troops to cooperate.

Soon, Zhou Fa's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly after receiving Shi Qing's report.

"Good! Send men to protect them, make sure they don't get beheaded by the other side."

Upon learning of the situation, Zhou Fa immediately issued a protection order.

In fact, after a large number of gargoyles were inexplicably killed, Lilith had already attracted the attention of the enemy forces on the nearby battlefield.

Several minor leaders and elite monsters in the undead army were already subconsciously moving closer to Lilith.

However, the human race wasn't stupid either; many of them, though unable to see clearly what was happening on the battlefield, were aware of the changes.

However, we must never let the enemy succeed easily in what they want to do; this is an infallible truth.

Therefore, many human units that were completely unaware of Lilith's existence were drawn eastward by the opposing undead forces and spontaneously began to cover Lilith.

The originally tight and compact formations of both sides were thus cracked, like a piece of a cookie being broken off.

A small battlefield gradually formed around Lilith.

At this moment, Azathoth finally arrived at the battlefield, albeit belatedly.

Originally, Luo Xuan did not want to touch Azathoth, but when he realized that the human race was at a disadvantage, he immediately called for Azathoth to come and provide support.

At the crucial moment when Lilith was influencing the battlefield situation and drawing the attention of both sides, Azathoth finally arrived.

A wave crashed into the battlefield, clearing out a swarm of low-level skeletons while also revealing its identity.

With Azathoth joining the fray, Lilith no longer needed to worry about the threat from the low-level undead nearby, and began to unleash her full power to spew spider webs and suppress the gargoyles above.

As Lilith worked, the number of gargoyles in the sky gradually thinned out, and the situation that was originally dense and blocked out the sun changed.

When ranged units and air forces are roughly equal in strength, the actual counter-relationship between them is dynamic.

When air force numbers outnumber ranged units, then ranged units are at a disadvantage.

Conversely, when long-range units have a numerical advantage, the air force will also have a tough time.

For example, the archer units that had been constantly suppressed are finally starting to show their power after the number of gargoyles has been greatly reduced.

Wave after wave of uninterrupted rain of arrows swept over the undead army.

With the air threat neutralized, the Terran army's morale soared, and they quickly pushed the front line to the edge of the bushes.

By this time, the large number of undead troops that had come out earlier had already trampled the surrounding bushes into a mess.

Therefore, this was the first time Luo Xuan had seen the true appearance of the undead stronghold.

Behind the bushes was a huge crypt, from which many undead troops emerged and then joined the battle.

Of course, at this point, these newly appeared undead can no longer change the overall situation; they can only add fuel to the fire for the human army.

Moreover, compared to the continuous stream of undead troops that had previously emerged, the undead troops that were appearing now were far inferior in both quantity and quality.

"It seems the leader of this stronghold has fled, and the place has been abandoned."

Zhou Fa walked closer, observed for a moment, and then spoke.
