Chapter 157: Combat Power Calculation, The Great Wine Jug, and Preparations
Under the pitch-black night sky, two dazzling streams of light descended at high speed, appearing above the Dragon Tooth Tribe in an instant.
They illuminated the tribe, which was shrouded in darkness, making it several shades brighter. But it was already late at night, and the lizardmen had long since fallen asleep.
The two guards were dispatched by Su Kui·Zhu Zhu in an instant, which was why the entire Dragon Tooth Tribe failed to react immediately.
In mid-air.
On his left eye, Tang Zheng wore a magical half-frame monocle that granted 'Night Vision' as he gazed down at the lizardman tribe below.
According to Su Kui·Zhu Zhu's information, although the Tribe Leader held the highest status in a lizardman tribe, the Priest Lizardmen in the Elder Council were the most revered.
Therefore, they mostly lived in the deepest part of the tribe, and their wooden cabins were generally more conspicuous than those of ordinary lizardmen.
Using the light emitted by the two Flame Archangels and the 'Night Vision' effect of his magical item, Tang Zheng quickly locked onto several rather prominent wooden cabins in the tribe's depths.
At his mental command.
The two Flame Archangels beat their wings and charged toward a direction away from the wooden cabins suspected of housing the Priest Lizardmen.
Without needing any overly complex maneuvers, relying on the Flame Archangels' own defense and the speed of their dive, they easily smashed through two wooden cabins.
Boom! Boom!
Two loud bangs echoed through the Dragon Tooth Tribe, instantly waking the majority of the sleeping lizardmen.
Especially the lizardmen in those two demolished wooden cabins; before they could even react to what had happened, lightswords burning with flames and a holy aura swung down.
The lizardmen inside the wooden cabins were slain!
Immediately after, the two Flame Archangels charged toward the surrounding wooden cabins, continuing their assault.
A surprise attack!
It was even more successful than anticipated. In just two or three minutes, the lizardmen in several wooden cabins had all been killed by the Flame Archangels.
In an instant, all the lizardmen who rushed out were drawn toward the chaos.
"They're really lax."
"It seems the lizardmen who escaped from the Little Fang Tribe didn't come to the Dragon Tooth Tribe. Instead, they must have gone to the stronger Green Claw Tribe."
Tang Zheng gazed down at the Dragon Tooth Tribe, which had now descended into a noisy, chaotic mess and was only now fully reacting, and spoke softly.
Among the lizardman tribes, only the Priest Lizardmen were somewhat troublesome for Tang Zheng.
Even if those ordinary lizardman warriors were a bit stronger, they didn't pose much of a threat to the Flame Archangels, which were Level 21 and specialized in defense.
At most, they could use their numerical advantage to kill the Flame Archangels.
After all, among the lizardmen, the one hailed as the strongest lizardman warrior, the wielder of the "Frozen Fang," Salius Xia Xia, was only Level 20.
The ordinary lizardman warriors were even lower in level, around eleven or twelve, their overall standard comparable to ogres.
"It's invaders!!"
"Those two monsters..."
"..."
"Help!"
A mixture of terrified, chaotic, and varied cries from the lizardmen intertwined, echoing ceaselessly throughout the tribe.
As the lizardman warriors were drawn and gathered by the two conspicuous Flame Archangels, Su Kui·Zhu Zhu and the Evil Spirit Hound, who were hidden in the shadows, successfully infiltrated the tribe.
They headed straight for the two Priest Lizardmen. Their task was to capture one Priest Lizardman alive; the other one could be killed.
Inside the Dragon Tooth Tribe.
"Die, enemy!" A lizardman warrior wielding a crude greatsword roared as he charged forward, viciously slashing at one of the Flame Archangels.
Clang!
The Flame Archangel casually swung its flame sword to meet the greatsword, creating a shower of sparks.
The force transmitted from the flame sword knocked the lizardman warrior back several steps, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground. Just as the Flame Archangel prepared to finish off this lizardman warrior...
Swoosh—
A large net flew out from the crowd and enveloped the Flame Archangel, yanking it down forcefully.
"Pull!!" Several roars sounded as the ropes connected to the net tightened, forcibly dragging the Flame Archangel down from the sky.
A dense volley of attacks swiftly rained down.
As the Flame Archangel swung its flame sword to slash the net apart, it killed the nearest lizardman warrior, only to be bombarded by the furious attacks of the remaining lizardman warriors and dissipate into motes of light.
The lizardman crowd cheered. They were just about to swarm the other Flame Archangel when, at that very moment, another stream of light streaked down from the sky!
A brand-new Flame Archangel appeared before all the lizardmen.
The jubilant atmosphere was cut short!
"From start to finish, the archangel lasted ten minutes. No, the actual combat phase was over within five minutes."
Tang Zheng observed the defeated Flame Archangel, glanced at the pocket watch in his hand, and mentally calculated the time.
The Flame Archangels were certainly not weak, but that was in a one-on-one situation. When the number of enemies increased, the Flame Archangels were no longer enough.
At the end of the day!
In terms of combat power calculation, a Flame Archangel was equivalent to a Level 21 warrior that could fly.
And if this group of lizardmen below were converted into a human army, they would be at the level of an elite force!
No!
Tang Zheng remembered that the "Warrior Troop" formed by Gazef had an average level of only around 7, and that was already considered elite within a human army.
This group of lizardman warriors had an average level of over ten. Coupled with the advantages of being a demi-human and their naturally thick skin, they would have to be, at the very least, a fully equipped elite force.
"The advantages of demi-humans really can't be matched by humans." After making the mental calculation, Tang Zheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion again.
"Although there are many lizardman warriors gathered below, the number that can actually engage a Flame Archangel in direct combat probably doesn't exceed ten."
"If one lizardman warrior is equivalent to two elite human soldiers, then by that calculation... twenty elite human soldiers, despite suffering casualties, could take down one Flame Archangel."
Tang Zheng calmly watched the scene below.
Boom!
Another Flame Archangel was destroyed.
Tang Zheng casually crushed a magic scroll, and a new Flame Archangel joined the battlefield.
"Compared to the Little Fang Tribe, the battle at the Dragon Tooth Tribe is indeed more valuable as a reference." Tang Zheng observed the combat below with great focus.
Since the two Priest Lizardmen had not yet arrived, a situation like at the Little Fang Tribe—where the Flame Archangel was merely controlled but not destroyed—would naturally not occur.
The reason the Little Fang Tribe collapsed so quickly was entirely because their Tribe Leader was defeated and their Priest was controlled by Tang Zheng, causing the majority of the lizardman warriors to lose their will to fight.
Additionally.
That old Priest Lizardman seemed to have anticipated the worst-case scenario, having arranged for a portion of the tribe to evacuate in advance.
At least a third of the Little Fang Tribe's members had successfully escaped. This was also related to the fact that Tang Zheng did not pursue them.
These old, weak, sick, and disabled were being left for the future Great Tomb.
The battle at the Dragon Tooth Tribe began to reach a deadlock.
An intangible sense of panic spread among the lizardmen. The Flame Archangels felt no fatigue, no fear, and not even the dread of death.
But the lizardmen did!
They would go to great lengths, even sacrificing several comrades, to finally kill one Flame Archangel, only for a new one to appear in the blink of an eye.
Even now!
No one had figured out what these monsters with wings and armor were, or why they had suddenly appeared in their tribe.
Furthermore, some lizardman warriors had already noticed something was wrong. Why hadn't the two Priest Elders appeared yet?
