Chapter 169: Tug-of-War and Solidifying Pill

Five days later, Dragon City finally launched another offensive.

On the plain, Dragon City's army remained a vast, dark mass.

But a closer look revealed their formations were much sparser than before.

The gaps between their phalanxes had widened, and the suffocating pressure from their dense formations in the first battle was gone.

The changes to the Vassal Legion at the vanguard were the most striking.

Their numbers had been nearly halved, barely numbering over thirty thousand at most.

The stone-skinned Giant Demons that once served as a vanguard, advancing like mobile fortress walls, were now reduced to a few scattered squads dispersed across the front line.

Filling the gaps were more hunched, poorly equipped Ratmen and swamp frogmen.

These hastily assembled soldiers lacked even standardized weapons. It was obvious they were cannon fodder meant to pad out the front lines.
