Without even waiting for a Magic Radiance warning, orange-red Fireballs flew from the hillside toward the valley, transforming into blazing flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Yun Dao also had a crimson feather fan in hand, made from materials from that owl, it’s the Fire Fan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the Tier Six feather fan as a magic wand guidance, a flame hotter than all previous Fireballs landed below with a wave of the fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the crowd below, these attacks seemed to appear suddenly in the dark. Only when the attacks were launched did they finally notice, leaving barely any time to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was also part of Yun Dao’s design, relying on a few extra witches to cast a weakened version of Dark Fog. Though lacking a complete effect, the Magic Radiance from such casting was already sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the witches themselves, with other witches providing visual support, their vision was irrelevant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cattle herd benefited from the Beast King ability’s protection, and these scattered probing attacks were relatively harmless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the human soldiers and Mutant Creatures below, these flames were deadly reapers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tier Six spells, even though group damage types, weren’t something below Tier Five could withstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Tier Five units, most of which barely broke through and hadn’t had time to upgrade two levels, found them hard to fend off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary soldiers didn’t have the strong passive talents of Hero Units. Even being Tier Five, not every-tier-five soldier had Bai Yi’s strengthening capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most could only rely on upgraded Barracks buildings. What they could evolve into depended entirely on fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only some powerful Lords would proactively invest some special Advanced materials during upgrades, potentially gaining a few talents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, compared to Bai Yi’s witches and Insect Swarm, it’s still a world of difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, neither ordinary soldier units nor even Hero Units could necessarily match Bai Yi’s Insect Swarm and ordinary witches considered low status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such weak soldiers quickly perished under the fiery scorch without much opportunity to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only those units with true Tier Five power could rely on themselves to withstand or dodge successfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yun Dao’s wave of probing attacks aimed at large-scale clearing of Low-tier soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for targets above Tier Five, they were reserved for the next wave of attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this round of spells hadn’t ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the firelight illuminating, the remaining witches cast spells more precisely at the weakest units, fulfilling Yun Dao’s strategic goal of clearing those potentially interfering soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this stage, Yun Dao didn’t even restrict the type of spells, letting each witch casting squad leader freely choose the most suitable spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the moment, the richness of spells Yun Dao had researched for the expeditionary army was fully reflected on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On-site witches could even perform a Tier Six spell [Thunderstorm] in twelve different ways; more than a hundred different casting squads showed at least seventy different spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chaotic spell types left the combat units below unable to come up with an effective defense strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This spell might be Fire Series. But once the corresponding defense was deployed, the next could be Thunder Series, Ice Series…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attack patterns with no rhythm forced all capable Hero Units to focus entirely on self-protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the cattle herd was forced to abandon some weak units of newborns and wounded, concentrating on protecting more of the family in this “probing” attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that these deliberately not fully exerted spells couldn’t achieve initial results, the seamless second wave of spells commenced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Fireball Technique, combining various visual and physical impacts, bombing began from the valley’s edge, continually compressing the activity range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when some Hero Units, depending on their strength, attempted to rush out of this ever-shrinking “poison circle,” prepared Lightning would immediately target them for precision strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over 150,000 witches on the surrounding mountains had no issues with insufficient Magic Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the battle targeting the Beast King earlier, every squad was formed into a standard team of a hundred casters to ensure spells could still achieve sufficient effects even from a vigilant distance.\u003C\u002Fp>",868,"2026-06-06T04:11:16.816Z",1,"novelbin.me","cd035010a51b411b48a80c69c73a1ba15a4638d8e8abfa1b3991d3944390271a","the-doomsday-lord-starting-as-a-insect-queen-chapter-332","the-doomsday-lord-starting-as-a-insect-queen-chapter-330",1449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-doomsday-lord-starting-as-a-insect-queen-cover.jpg"]
