The situation was rather awkward.
Other than Ola, who was a perception-type with almost no combat strength, of the remaining 33 Type 7 leaders, 23 were in a state of exhaustion and unable to fight. The other 10 were also maintaining the energy supply of a spatial tunnel, their combat strength greatly reduced.
It was simply … terrible!
This was not the first time Ola had seen a human's Netherworld Warship. After all, more than a year ago, Jiang Feng had led Legio II and fooled them for more than two months.
Although they were fooled, the defensive power of these Netherworld Warships was something he had seen before. The scene of Jiang Sen blocking Ipnos' attack had left a deep impression on him.
Of course, Ola also knew that it was definitely a commander-level warship. After all, although the other warships had strong defensive power, they were definitely not as strong as that one.
However, even so, the situation was still rather awkward because … other than himself, there were no other leaders who could fight!
As for himself, forget it, his combat power was only 5!
No matter what, continuing to retreat would only lead to more casualties!
Fortunately, this human did not come in large numbers. He might as well stop the retreat first and use the 10 rank 7 leaders and all the clan descendants to delay the human for an hour. Then, he would let the 20 rank 7 leaders join in and launch a counterattack.
Finally, after repelling the human, they would retreat again. At that time, the 30 rank 7 leaders would open a spatial tunnel together and the overall retreat speed would be several times faster.

"Wang Hai, what do you think?"
"What else can I think? The human's spatial tunnel has already been closed. Obviously, they want to use all their strength to repel us before retreating!"
"But if that's the case, it'll be difficult with just our two legions!"
On the bridge of Legio I's flagship, Jiang Feng could not help but shake his head after hearing Wang Hai's words.
Although Lin Yu had heavily injured Ipnos and eliminated the biggest threat for the fleet, would the Purgatory Corps be unable to fight without Ipnos?
This was obviously impossible. Otherwise, when Ipnos was seriously injured, the Zerg would have already driven the Purgatory Corps out, instead of being suppressed bit by bit.
At that time, Ipnos was still recuperating from his injuries.
After all, apart from Ipnos, there were over 30 terrifying Class 7 leader-class Purgatory Creatures in the Purgatory Legion. None of them were weaker than Aliya.
Therefore, if the other party had decided to retreat at all costs, it wouldn't have been a problem for him and Wang Hai's two Underworld Legions to come over and kill them. But now, the other party had clearly given up on retreating for the time being.
This … was a big problem. At the very least, Jiang Feng was not optimistic about this outcome.
"No, you should look behind them!"
Looking at Jiang Feng shaking his head and sighing, Wang Hai smiled and pointed at the tactical panel.
Yes, the Tactics Interface did show that almost the entire Purgatory Legion was heading towards them.
But not all of them …
Behind it, there were still about 10 million Purgatory creatures that did not follow the majority of the assault. Instead, they remained where they were and did not move at all.
Most importantly, apart from those clan-level purgatory creatures, there were a total of 24 huge 7th rank leader-level creatures that didn't move. Furthermore, they were protected by the purgatory creatures that stayed behind.
This was strange no matter how one looked at it!
"Don't you think these leader-level creatures look a little strange?"
"Don't you feel like they're about to collapse?"
Wang Hai once again pointed at the image on the other side. The 20 plus powerful 7th rank leader-level creatures were currently lying in the void with dispirited looks.
Just as Wang Hai said, they looked like they were about to collapse.
"Quick, immediately scan the targets and check their bio-energy intensity!"
"Yes, Commander!"
After Jiang Feng reacted to Wang Hai's words, he immediately turned his head and ordered his adjutant.
"Commander, among the leader-level purgatory creatures behind them, apart from one whose energy intensity is at level 17, the other 23 are all below 10!"
"Below 10? Are you sure? "
"Yes, Commander, I've already verified it three times. There's no mistake!"
This was interesting.
Jiang Feng also knew that these 7th rank leader-level creatures, depending on their race, had a bio-energy intensity of between 15 and 18.
What did 10 mean?
Among the Insectoids, the Royal Insectoids had a bio-energy intensity of 10.
In other words, the bio-energy intensity of these 7th rank leader-level creatures was even lower than the Insectoids' Royal Insectoids?
How was this possible?
"Actually, I've noticed that these 23 fellows are the ones who worked together to open a huge spatial passage and sent Ipnos away, as mentioned in the Zerg's intelligence report!"
"So, you're saying …"
"That's right. Combined with their appearance, it's very likely that they've temporarily collapsed due to energy exhaustion!"
"Hiss …"
Jiang Feng sucked in a breath of cold air.
It had to be said that Wang Hai's guess was very bold, but it was also very likely!
Moreover, based on Jiang Feng's understanding of Wang Hai, this kid most likely already had some ideas.
"Then what do you want to do?"
"I think … we can adjust our target to achieve greater results!"
"What do you mean?"
This time, Jiang Feng was also interested. After all, the phrase "greater results" was too tempting, was it not?
Moreover, Jiang Feng trusted Wang Hai very much. At least when this guy was under his command, he had never made a wrong judgment, nor had he ever failed in his tactics!
"Think about it, the mission given to us by the commander is to kill as many of the enemy's living forces as possible! According to this order, most people might make a wrong judgment, and that is, they would interpret this order to kill as many local units as possible! "
"Could it be that this understanding is wrong?"
Jiang Feng was a little confused. Shouldn't it be better to kill as many as possible?
Could it be that they should kill fewer to be considered the correct understanding of this order?
"Yes, and no!"
"Conventionally speaking, there's nothing wrong with this understanding at all!"
"But for this batch of purgatory creatures in front of us … Do you think it's meaningful to kill as many of them as possible?"
This time, Jiang Feng somewhat understood what Wang Hai was trying to say!
Indeed, if they really wanted to bring a heavy blow to the enemy, they obviously didn't have to kill as many of them as possible. After all, they were just small soldiers!
If they wanted to really hit the enemy's strength, the target should obviously be the 7th rank leader-level purgatory creatures.
Perhaps, this wouldn't be simple normally, but at this moment …
Wasn't a great opportunity right in front of him?
"Alright, then let's do a big one!"
Looking at the twenty over 7th rank leader-level creatures behind the purgatory army on the tactical board, Jiang Feng's eyes were shining with greed …
