Melee tanks the line, ranged provides the damage output.
This standard model is frequently used in games.
At this time, the magic monster army was facing the combined tactics of the Zerg and the other two races. Despite having an advantage, they really could no longer bear the losses after nearly an hour of sustained firepower.
Over a thousand of the swarm had been killed.
The magic monsters also found they had lost over a thousand of their own.
It looked like an even trade, but many Tier 5 beings among the magic monsters had died.
Even some Tier 6 ones had been taken out by lurkers.
Spikes burst from the ground with a series of cracks; most frustratingly, they couldn't even find where the enemy was hidden.
The true leader of the magic monster army—the Magic Monster King, the supreme ruler of this powerful force—sat on a chair, watching his subordinates rush to report the battle's progress. He remained silent for a moment.
“Have those elves found such an ally because they intend to launch a counter-offensive?”
He took this war very seriously.
Launching a counter-offensive to reach the surface and see its beautiful environment had always been his dream.
Furthermore, after turning to the faith of the Abyss, his body had become heavily tainted by abyssal energy.
Standing behind the Magic Monster King was, in fact, a demon of the Abyss.
Yes, he had received the protection of a demon.
To any race on the surface, demons were indescribably terrifying beings.
Even low-level demons possessed power far beyond that of ordinary creatures.
Higher demons, and even more advanced Demon Gods, could even rival true deities.
For countless years, the Abyss had invaded innumerable worlds.
Many planes filled with powerful experts would turn into living hells shortly after being targeted by demons.
Terrible massacres swept across countless dimensions of time and space.
And now, the Abyss had clearly set its sights on this place as well.
“Become my servant, and I shall grant you power.” The voice resonated with an unimaginably vast presence.
From that moment on, the former magic monster youth rose to power.
Step by step, he climbed from the weakest servant to become the king of his entire race.
Decades later, sitting in his current position, he had already turned his gaze toward the surface world.
“Those surface dwellers casually exiled a few races down here, and it brought such a devastating calamity upon us.”
Yes, exiles like the treants and bearmen were once victims, but after arriving in the underground world, they became invaders.
To secure land for survival, they waged war against the native magic monsters and other indigenous groups.
Over the years, the hatred between the two sides had become irreconcilable.
Now, the Magic Monster King intended to use his power to change everything.
He wanted to fight his way to the surface and become the first of his people to leave this place for a new world.
But...
With the appearance of the Zerg, doubts gradually began to surface in his heart.
“I wonder when my Great Master will begin the invasion of this world.”
At the thought of that powerful demon, he felt a deep sense of trepidation.
He had always believed that with the demon's support, he could easily crush the surface world.
The problem was when that support would arrive.
Promises had been made for years. Recently, that demonic lord had accepted all sacrifices without hesitation, yet there had been no response.
Why was that?
Considering this, the Magic Monster King realized he couldn't come to a conclusion. He could only shake his head and stand up.
Seeing his subordinates looking so anxious, his anger flared.
“You all...”
Just as he spoke, a scream echoed from the distance.
“This is bad! The Eldest Princess has been captured!”
Hearing this, the Magic Monster King was shocked.
Soon, he saw a panicked commander running toward him: “My Lord, something has happened! The Eldest Princess took a force to the front lines to fight on her own and was captured by the enemy monsters.”
“...”
The scene fell into an eerie silence.
The Magic Monster King narrowed his eyes.
All his subordinates felt a rage suppressed to the absolute limit.
But ultimately, he did not explode. Instead, in a heavily strained voice, he said, “Rescue her. At any cost!”
“Yes, sir!”
...
The elven defensive line.
At this moment, when Xia Jin saw with her own eyes an... exceptionally cute magic monster girl sitting timidly on the ground, watching her with a terrified expression, her eyes undeniably lit up.
“There are girls this cute and small among the magic monsters?”
That blankly adorable look, with a face full of panic and unease, made her heart flutter slightly.
After all, who didn't love a cute little loli?
Nearby, over a dozen magic monsters, pinned to the ground by the zerglings' legs, roared at the sight:
“You damn bastard... if you dare do anything to the Eldest Princess, the Magic Monster King will not show you any mercy!”
Their eyes were wide as brass bells, filled with fury.
“A princess, huh.”
So she was a princess too.
Xia Jin reached out and tilted the girl's chin up, feeling an indescribable sense of cuteness.
“You...”
“I... I will never surrender!”
Facing such pressure, the magic monster girl's eyes filled with tears. She clenched her fists and spoke with an exceptionally determined yet childish, milky voice.
Xia Jin was slightly taken aback.
