Chapter 289: Chapter 261 Artillery Cover
The Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon’s arrival imdiately plunged the low-rank worker insects into blood erosion.
The worker insects eroded by the Blood River imdiately descended into chaos, a large number of them halting dead or charging aimlessly, causing imdiate disarray within the Zerg camp.
But Su Han’s brow furrowed because the rate of blood erosion had slowed.
If they were the sa First Order Monster, a sweep of the Blood River would quickly result in completely eroded individuals who would launch indiscriminate attacks on the surrounding creatures.
But now, there was only chaos, and this speed was undoubtedly influenced by the Zerg’s control.
This species’ control over its individuals was more formidable than imagined.
However, with the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon’s second dive, the Blood River continued to assault, and large waves further eroded the Zerg, deepening the invasion.
Thousands of worker insects started to behave chaotically, and even so Blade Insects and Locust Bat Insects entered a state of blood erosion, violently rioting and attacking the surrounding Zerg.
Their sharp mouthparts snapped off the limbs of their own kindred monsters, and razor-sharp leg segnts and tibiae scythes repeatedly pierced other worker insects and Blade Insects.
The originally orderly assault was disrupted, and Zhu Xiong seized the opportunity as the Blood Bone Pig Demon donned its bone armor and, holding aloft the Blood Crystal Shield, charged straight into the massive swarm.
One after another, worker insects were crushed beneath it, their attacks blocked by the Blood Crystal Shield enveloping it.
Upon reaching the very center of the swarm, the Blood Crystal Shield detonated instantly, booming loudly as blood-colored light exploded into the sky, the entire street trembling violently, and a crater more than ten ters across ford, with cracks radiating around it.
At least a couple thousand worker insects and Blade Insects were destroyed by the blast, dispersing a significant portion of the swarm.
The Blackthorn Glutton and the Third Order Black Rock Bull Demon rushed up, reaping a wide harvest.
Seeing the breakthrough on the front line, Su Han directed the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon to soar up with the rolling Blood River, heading toward the left flank led by Gan Xinglei.
The Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon, like a blood shadow on the battlefield, stirred chaos within the Zerg ranks with its arrival, erosion, and rioting in its wake.
Gan Xinglei took advantage of the tumult brought by the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon to launch an even more ferocious attack, with the Tree Python Tyrant, Skeletal Corpse-Eating Rat, and Holy Helt Beetle plunging into the swarm to continuously slaughter the Zerg.
At the sa ti, all his Spiritual Energy Bullet Talent was almost wholly activated, each bullet infused with trendous energy falling into the densest parts of the swarm.
There were booming sounds, and a vast number of worker insects and Blade Insects were blasted to pieces.
The Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon prepared to rush to the right flank where Guo Gang and his team were attacking, when a bizarre event occurred.
All the swarms as if receiving so command, surprisingly began retreating as swiftly as the tide going out.
“The bugs are retreating!”
The retreat of the swarm was extrely chaotic; the blood eroded Zerg continued their onslaught, but even so, it did not slow the pace of the Zerg’s withdrawal. In just a few minutes, they all had retreated into the area shrouded in mist.
All three directions’ teams were befuddled, Bai Qilan’s brow creased, and she swept her Psychokinetic Power towards the mist.
“They’re retreating towards No.4 Middle School.”
Su Han’s eyes flickered: “It seems they don’t want to be whittled down by us.”
Originally, the incessant Zerg attacks could exhaust the Tree Domain Camp’s forces, ensuring that by the ti they reached the location of the Zerg nest, their strength would undoubtedly be greatly diminished.
However, the aggressive assault from the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon and the three teams rendered the Zerg’s attrition sowhat futile, or at least of little effect.
Bai Qilan asked, “What do we do now?”
Su Han replied, “Proceed as planned. We cannot overlook the Parasitic Corpse Willows and alert arrangents along the way.”
“Okay.”
Bai Qilan imdiately relayed the ssage to the teams in the other directions. Upon receiving the command, the teams imdiately synchronized their movents and advanced rapidly.
With the Zerg no longer obstructing them, the entire street was incredibly empty, with nothing but the traces left by the insects to be seen, and no other monsters in sight.
All three teams were advancing very quickly and finally converged near No. 4 Middle School. As the fog dissipated, the entire No. 4 Middle School Zerg nest area lay bare in front of Su Han and his team, with a view across the Xihui River.
“Goodness gracious, how could there be so many incubation bodies?”
At first glance, hundreds of incubation bodies were visible despite the obscuring fog.
The grey-black Bug Quality material was piled up like flesh. The towering incubation bodies stood tall as skyscrapers, with ground surfaces and low buildings sared with mucus and Bug Quality material, connected by piping.
And around these Bug Quality structures, swarms of insects filled in all the gaps.
Everywhere, there were worker insects and blade insects, numbering not just tens of thousands but perhaps even one or two hundred thousand. Within these swarms, over twenty Third Order Holy Helt Beetles were eying the Tree Domain Troops across the river with nacing intent.
The atmosphere between the two sides was ready to explode at any mont, and Su Han’s gaze seed to pierce through the fog, looking towards the very center of No. 4 Middle School, where a powerful presence seed to lurk.
“Sky Cavalry bombing.”
Without any hesitation, Su Han’s command was imdiately relayed, and nearly a thousand Sky Cavalry soared into the air. Under Ye Kailing’s lead, they flew towards the insect swarm above at great speed.
“Sss!”
A sharp insect shriek sounded, and the swarm began to stir, buzzing incessantly. Within the great ranks of the swarming insects, tens of thousands of Locust Bat Insects took flight, heading towards the Sky Cavalry’s location.
They intended to intercept the Sky Cavalry.
“Artillery cover.”
Yan Tiejun’s voice resounded, and with the ergence of the Locust Bat Insects being accounted for in the plans, Tree Domain warriors wielding artillery fired away.
Hundreds of spiritual-energy artillery shells arced over the Xihui River, landing directly on top of the Zerg’s positions, thundering loudly and lighting up the sky with flas. The incubation bodies that were hit exploded instantly, and worker insects and blade insects on the ground were blown to smithereens.
The Locust Bat Insects that were just taking off were imdiately disrupted, and so were even hit by shells mid-air.
Chaos erupted among the Zerg, and the numbers of Locust Bat Insects dwindled significantly, but a large number still managed to reach a position a hundred or two hundred ters away.
Ye Kailing’s expression turned cold as she ordered, “At four hundred ters, bomb quickly.”
The Sky Cavalry imdiately climbed to four hundred ters, enduring the intense psychic fluctuations interference. They surged forward and then dropped spiritual-energy bombs one after another.
“`
The number was roughly a thousand.
The booming sounds were like fireworks; so spiritual energy bombs even detonated before hitting the ground, triggered by the locust bat insects.
The terrifying blaze and shockwaves spread in the air, flipping over a vast number of locust bat insects. Then, more spiritual energy bombs fell to the ground, each exploding in a plu of smoke, decimating tens of thousands of worker insects and cutter insects. The incubation bodies collapsed, and flas enveloped the entire area.
The heatwave even crossed over the Xihui River, rushing to the opposite bank.
“Screech!”
Just then, a sharp roar ca through, accompanied by a strong psychic shockwave that swept toward the Sky Cavalry in the sky.
This is bad!
Bai Qilan’s face changed color as she imdiately leaped forward, while Zhao Yaqian also acted at the sa ti, her telekinetic power sweeping out like a tidal wave. The Blade Spider Mother also burst forth with psychic power.
Boom
An invisible collision erupted in the air, and with just one encounter, Bai Qilan and Zhao Yaqian had blood streaming from their noses and mouths, tumbling down from the sky.
“Call the Sky Cavalry back, Fourth Grade insect beasts have the ability to ntally shock.”
Pale-faced, Bai Qilan had barely finished speaking when cries of agony were already heard from the Sky Cavalry.
So had fallen. About a hundred people had lost control and were plumting from the sky.
The locust bat insects sward in, tearing those people to shreds.
The Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon burst out of the Blood River, sweeping in the locust bat insects.
But in just a short ti, out of a hundred people who fell, fewer than 30 remained.
The Sky Cavalry swiftly returned. There were quite a few pale faces among them. The danger of psychic shocks in the air was simply too great; a mont’s hesitation could lead to a loss of control.
“Hiss hiss hiss”
At this mont, the swarm issued a fine hissing sound. The massive horde launched an assault, charging at the Tree Domain warriors on the opposite riverbank.
The war had officially begun.
After a round of artillery fire that swept through a wide area, a large number of Zerg had been annihilated, and many incubation bodies were also mostly destroyed.
But for the Zerg, the loss of tens of thousands of their kin was akin to an insignificant matter.
They quickly regrouped and initiated a charge, this ti with full force, aiming to cross the river quickly with more than twenty Third Order Holy Helt Beetles at the forefront.
Yan Tiejun’s face turned solemn: “Target the high-ranking units with artillery, cover them.”
The artillery could cover four tis. He calmly issued the command, and the skilled gunners from the Ard Forces imdiately aid at the Third Order Holy Helt Beetles.
“Boom boom boom”
The spiritual energy shells quickly crossed the river, heading straight for the Holy Helt Beetles and the Second Order cutter insects.
This ti, the Holy Helt Beetles countered by slashing out sharp blades of light in defense.
The shells were intercepted mid-air, with only two-thirds falling into the swarm. The bodies of the Second Order cutter insects were flipped and shattered, their limbs scattered.
But at the Holy Helt Beetles’ end, the shells exploded upon their bodies, and their hard carapaces actually withstood the attack.
Their shells cracked and their flesh was a blur, but a single shell was not enough to be lethal.
After a round of bombardnt, only two Holy Helt Beetles were dead.
“Continuous coverage, finish them before they cross the river.”
Yan Tiejun swiftly gave orders and also shouted, “Heavy armored units, construct your positions, crossfire coverage.”
A continuous sound of gunfire and artillery ford a barrage, with a large number of Zerg being killed at the river’s edge and their bodies rolling down into the river.
One after another, the river was gradually being filled up to the riverbed.
After four rounds of artillery coverage, half of the Holy Helt Beetles were dead or injured, and the remaining half strode across the river.
“Third Order Contractors, intercept them!”
The Third Order Contractors instantly entered the scene, with Angels Envoys being summoned one after another, forming a formidable defensive line at the riverbank.
Zhu Xiong, Gan Xinglei, Duan Jie, Zhao Yaqian, Bai Qilan—five people with fifteen Angels Envoys ford a solid line of defense. Su Han’s five beasts were also there, facing off against the Holy Helt Beetles directly.
“Kill!”
The Holy Helt Beetles lunged at the Angels Envoys. There were about thirteen of them left, not only fewer in number but also all bearing varying degrees of injury.
The combat between the Angels Envoys and them was swift, and the forr quickly suppressed them.
Bai Qilan was the most agile. Barely recovering from the ntal shock, she had locked onto them with her psychokinetic power, and with a flash, the Blade Spider Mother decapitated a Holy Helt Beetle.
The others, though slightly slower, soon finished their kills.
More than half of the Third Order Holy Helt Beetles were exterminated, and the swarm crossed the riverbank, launching an attack. The incoming swarms of Zerg from afar seed like a black sea, besieging the Third Order Apostles.
The Sky Cavalry had retreated. They dismounted the Blood-winged Tigers and took out their spiritual energy rifles to start shooting.
Ye Kailing’s three Angels Envoys charged into the battlefield, launching continuous attacks from the air, killing a vast number of the swarm.
The river beca the dividing line of a at grinder, endlessly devouring the lives on the battlefield.
“There are nine higher incubation bodies in the center of No.4 Middle School, I’ve seen the light of the interdinsional rifts.”
Ye Kailing stepped up to Su Han and imdiately told him what she gleaned from the brief dispersal of the mist during the psychic shock attack.
