Chapter 1379 Blitzkrieg

As much as Gnawbones wished to return the attack at the flying whale monster, he have to move the second phase of the current war plan that the Demon Rat Generals had planned beforehand.

The first phase of this particular war plan which the Demon Rat Air Force was responsible for was to attack via the surface. They had a hidden base which was supposed to be used for this particular phase and their planes would either destroy the threat that was damaging the energy shield.

Even if they could not defeat the force that was damaging the energy shield, the remaining number of Demon Rat planes would zoom past the enemy’s forces with all their might and return to the Undercity. The mages would open up a certain section that was known to the Demon Rat Pilots that were participating in this war operation and then the fighter planes would disrupt the enemy lines from the back.

That was in conjunction with the massive wall of explosives that were used to kill Derek’s encroaching horde of zombies into the city and the remaining fleet of Demon Rat planes would use the shock induced situation to decimate the human soldiers and their monster comrades.

All of that became impossible with the Royal Zodiac Snake’s Chryso fighter jets destroying the remaining Demon Rats while Mr Derpy continued to fly forward, going for the forward air base that the Demon Rats were using. Even if it would be void of planes, the System had instructed Mr Derpy to dispose of the airbase since there were still Demon Rat remnants in the region according to its updated map.

When within sight, all Mr Derpy did was just take a huff and puff his lungs out, causing an immense gust of wind to penetrate their feebly magical barrier and destroy whatever contents the Air Base was holding.

And with another puff, it cause a temporary hurricane to emerge right in the middle of the base, ripping the floor foundations apart, revealing Demon Rats that were hiding and killing them in the process. He did not even need to use any of his Deep Ones but still eventually decided to send a squad in just to make sure that everything was thoroughly cleaned up.

In the meantime, Air Force General Gnawbones had already sent his best pilots to bomb the zombie horde and the Pandarens and his remaining fighter planes to deal threat that the Goblin Wyvern Knights were giving. Unfortunately, because he was in the Command Room, he did not have a full glimpse of Wyrstrikers and his knights’ capability.

Even before the bombers and the fighter planes could fully depart towards the survivors of the horde, Wyrstriker and his Wyvern Knights were already circling around waiting to hunt their latest prey. The moment they have them in their sights, their mana thrusters were already roaring through the Undercity and headed straight for them.

The bombers tried to evade the Goblin Wyvern Knights but in this current tight airspace especially when they were underground, they were basically air target practices for the Wyverns to bring down. A new piece of equipment had allowed the wyverns to shoot several devastating blasts of fire in a short period of time, which had been dubbed as the ignitor, had been making their debut in this situation.

With that piece of equipment near their mouth, it acted as the name stated to help ignite their breaths, increasing the explosive power of their fire breaths. This new method of spewing flames allowed the wyverns to complement the firepower that the Goblins were carrying as well and gave them extra mobility to complete their mission objectives.

On the other hand, the Demon Rats in those bomber planes might shoot back but they could never catch the speed the Wyverns were moving unless it was a lucky shot. Other than that, the bombers went down fast, enabling the Goblin Wyvern Knights to concentrate on the dogfight engagement they have with the remaining fighter planes.

It was yet another loss for the Demon Rats Air Force as it was pretty obvious that their technology could not surpass Wyrstriker’s platoon of Goblin Wyvern Knights strapped with mana thrusters.

This gave the Zombie Horde some time to recover especially when Half Ghoul Lord Derek brought forth the Fire Zombies, allowing them to absorb the brunt of the disaster. The fire they took in was also used as energy to power themselves up, causing them to have a stronger magical presence and shoot long range fireballs back at the Demon Rats who were shooting them from afar. Simultaneously, the Pandawans set up more WARE events to salvage this particular disaster they were in, so for example Pandarens who knew water arts contributed to extinguishing the fire that was raging after the explosion.

However, this also allowed the Demon Rats to regroup and party up with the reinforcements that were coming through the underground tunnels or alleys. Houses and apartments were filled with Demon Rats aiming their rifles and rocket launchers through the windows while they waited for the Zombie Horde to go through.

But they had forgotten that Jin’s Army does not only have foot soldiers.

Columns of armoured vehicles caught the attention of the viewers from the System’s streams as they were the next to pop out from the portals once the current wave of WARE event was completed.

Since Jin knew that the Undercity would be a complicated place to fight, it was best to storm the various districts with speed. Scout and lure Demon Rats out of their hiding places and fight with them accordingly.

In short, Jin was trying to imitate the tactics of the German’s infamous blitzkrieg tactics where speed was the only thing that matters. The Dungeon Supplier might want to spread this Demon Rat Raid as a week’s long event but given the estimation of numbers that the System had noted in the latest scan along with the Birth Mother’s testimonies, it might be best to work a little bit faster than usual.

“Besides, isn’t this speed we are going favourable for the current streaming community too?” Jin thought to himself as he could see the numbers and retention of viewers started to increase with respect to Bear Cub One’s Metube stream.
