William's answer brought a glimmer of hope back to mary, who had fallen into an abyss.
‘What do you want?’ She anxiously opened her mouth and asked, no longer having the cold arrogance she had before.
This was because at this moment, the wave formed by the swarm of insects was close to approaching the defence line formed by the earth elemental puppets.
‘One million divine power, pay immediately!’ William opened his price without hesitation.
‘I don't have that much on me right now, I only have 130,000 divine power, I'll pay the rest within three days after the match.’ Facing the high price William offered, mary had no choice but to state her situation.
In order to achieve a good result in this competition, she had long ago used the rewards from the citywide league with the resources given by her parents.
All of them had been used to raise her dependents and develop her Divine Domain, and she simply couldn't take out so much Divine Power at one time.
Hearing mary say that she would pay after the competition, William instantly lost interest in continuing the conversation.
The flying jumping insect he possessed, its wings stirred violently.
The height quickly climbed up to where he stayed before, no longer paying attention to mary's demigod projection.
This kind of verbal guarantee did not have any compulsion at all, and was completely supported by credibility.
Even if William allowed mary to make an IOU now, the other party could directly disown it after the match.
mary looked at the flying jumping insect in front of her, and after she finished speaking, she did not stop and immediately flew back to the high altitude where she was originally located.
She could no longer maintain her surface calmness and revealed a look of panic.
Just as she was about to say something else, the surging wave of insects had already approached the defence line formed by the earth elemental golem.
When the wave of insects spread to a distance of 300 metres from this magic army, a hissing roar abruptly erupted from the battlefield where there was only the sound of wings flapping.
This hissing sound was like a signal that instantly ignited the entire swarm, and layers of hissing sounds resounded through the heavens and earth.
The Alienated Jumping Bugs began to collectively accelerate, the effects of Tough Skin and Wind Protector surfacing on their bodies.
At the same time, sheets and sheets of fireball magic, rose up from within the tide of insects, drawing an arc in the air and falling steadily into, the defence line formed by the earth elemental golems.
These fireballs landed at intervals of about five metres, and did not reach the exaggerated fire density that covered every inch of land when they faced the old demigods last time.
However, the explosions of the fireballs landing on the ground would no longer stop from this moment onwards.
This not-too-intense bombardment, while possessing decent lethality, also largely ensured the continuity of the Stinging Snake's firepower output.
The explosions would extend all the way backwards as the wave of insects advanced.
The Jumping Bugs, on the other hand, would keep advancing at an even speed up to 300 metres in front of the Stinging Snake, cleansing the area that had just been struck by the fireball coverage.
The earth elemental puppets were helpless in the face of this covering strike.
Without a means of long-range attack, they could only rely on their rocky bodies and try to shrink their size to bear the damage of the fireballs.
Unfortunately, facing the explosion of a large number of fireball spells, even the Earth Elemental Golem, which was naturally superior in terms of defence, couldn't remain unscathed.
As the explosions continued to extend backwards, the earth elemental golems that survived in the area that had just experienced the fireball bombardment had not even regained their footing from the aftermath of the explosions.

They were greeted by a large number of Transcendent Alienated Jumping Insects, with their dorsal scythes attached to cyan-coloured wind blades.
The intensive strikes followed, and the golems were, almost instantly, sliced into pieces.
This was what William had designed for the Hybrid Legion, the coordinated advancement tactics of the foot artillery.
Because of the limitations of the Stinger's fireball attack distance of more than 500 metres, William could only use the previous life's step artillery synergy tactic, and then modified it to test the tactic's specific effect in actual combat.
As for the flying hoppers in the sky, they would only swoop into the field when the advancement of the swarm was blocked, or when they broke up the opponent for harvesting.
After all, the flying hoppers, in the overall positioning of the insect swarm, existed as a support unit.
On the premise of having ultra-high mobility, they also sacrificed some of their defence.
This made their battle damage in close combat, compared to the Alienated Jumping Bugs that served as the main ground combat unit, had always been quite a bit higher.
William's previous practice of using them to disrupt the interior of the enemy's formation, although it was highly effective, had also resulted in their battle losses remaining high.
Now that he had a new tactical option, he of course had to see how effective it really was.
In this short period of time, the wave of insects had already crushed through the defence line formed by 5 million earth elemental puppets.
The explosions from the fireballs landing on the ground also began to spread towards, the second line of defence formed by the knights.
In the defence line formed by the knight legions, even mary's fanatics, looking at the explosions that gradually extended over, their stoic looks took on a sadness that couldn't be dissolved.
‘Knights, it is time to offer everything for my god.’ The army chief of this knight army, roared violently into the ears of all the knights.
As a berserker who had already reached elite level strength, this army leader raised his riding lance high and steered his horse out to the very front of the army formation.
Facing the explosions that covered him, he spat out the last four words with difficulty, ‘All troops charge!’
From these four short words, everyone could hear his helplessness and despair.
After saying that, with a pull of the reins, he took control of his warhorse and launched a charge towards the spreading explosion.
Along with his movements, some of the knights behind him whose faith level had reached Berserkers also urged their horses to leap out of the formation and followed closely behind him.
Seeing their backs that charged towards death, it was as if they possessed magic power.
In the array, the knights whose morale had already been crushed by the horrifying numbers of the insect tide.
At this moment, they either knew that retreating was also death, or the instincts formed by their long training, or they regained their dispersed courage, or they regained their honour.
More and more heavy armoured knights, urging their horses to follow their army leaders, also charged towards the densely covered fireballs.
When the 6.5 million heavy cavalry charged, the dull reverberation of their horses' hooves hitting the ground had a tendency to separate from the hissing of the insect swarm.
William silently watched this scene from high up in the sky and didn't know what expression to use.
The difference between intelligent life is so huge, most of the life in the face of the swarm, will instantly lose the courage to resist, become a lamb to be slaughtered.
But there are always exceptions, they can burst out in despair.
At this moment, a mutation occurred, and huge wind elements began to converge on the battlefield.
A huge green coloured tornado connecting heaven and earth slowly took shape over the advancing tide of insects.
The stirred air currents gradually became violent and sharp as the tornado took shape.
