Chapter 272 Regardless of the cost
Now things are starting to get troublesome. On the surface, it's just a matter of about thirty insects. Although they are a little farther away, there are only about thirty insects. Anyone can kill them easily, but who among the several long-range combatants now? I can't find time to do this either.

Mia and Mirity focused on clearing the road, Moria and Yuri focused on cleaning up the dragonflies, and they themselves had to defend themselves against air strikes. Everyone was busy.

And more importantly, these bugs are not only distributed on both sides, but they are no longer concentrated in a group like before. The positions are quite scattered, with a distance of at least five or six meters between each other. Although it will cause the firepower to disperse, it avoids being concentrated. The fate of annihilation.Now, even if Moria uses root entanglement, she may not be able to catch all the five-clawed spiders.

The only solution is to get rid of them before they burrow into the soil, but judging from the current situation, it seems that it is difficult to do so in time.

"Saf, go." Xiu Er didn't take the time to think about it at all. Leading the troops must be thoughtful, and all aspects of emergencies must be considered in advance. Therefore, Xiu Er already had a plan for how to deal with it before arranging tactics. , once the situation arises, it can respond quickly within a second or two, "Front right, clean it up for me, Wei, the No. Attention, be prepared for impact."

Within a short distance, no one could keep up with Sav's speed. Only she could rush over and attack the bugs before they burrowed into the soil. She could clear at least half of the five-clawed spiders on the right front.

The female swordsman rushed out without thinking, blowing through the gaps among the insects like wind. It was not that there were no insects that wanted to stop her, but they couldn't react at all. When the insects twisted their bodies and aimed at her, they couldn't stop her. Before he had time to attack, he had already passed her by, and he couldn't even face her back.

Rushing, spinning, the howling wind turned into a tornado, Saff rushed into the place where the five-clawed spiders were the most, wielding the sword with both hands and began to spin, the faster and faster rotation made her like a meat grinder, anyone who dared to get close All the insects will be caught in the tornado, and then minced into pieces in the storm formed by the sword.

The five-clawed spider is of course no exception. Sapphire not only rotates, but also maintains high-speed movement during the rotation. Compared with her, the behavior of the spiders is like slow motion that has been slowed down ten times, trying hard to hide herself in In the soil, but often just halfway buried, they are caught in the storm of sword blades and can only leave in pieces.

The surrounding bugs seemed to have no idea what death was, and kept rushing towards the storm. Even though they knew they would be cut into pieces, they still kept going, trying to block the storm with their flesh and blood.

They failed. Even if dozens or hundreds of them rushed up at the same time, the tornado was still spinning and would never dissipate because of them. But they also succeeded, successfully delaying Saff's advancement. Every meter forward cost The strength will be doubled, and the speed of advancement will naturally slow down.

This created an opportunity for the five-clawed spiders. The remaining five or six five-clawed spiders were still far away from her, and their bodies were almost completely submerged into the earth.

Shure's orders were to clean up.Saf's eyes were red, she gritted her teeth tightly, wishing she could grow wings and fly over.But she knew that, let alone flying over, even if she threw the big sword directly, it would be too late. She had already failed. Sure enough, was she a useless loser?

"Friesen, I didn't let you watch, I know you are here." Shuer's voice suddenly came from the communicator. The female swordsman who turned into a storm was stunned, and suddenly remembered the order issued by Shuer, which was 'You guys 'Clean it up, that is...

With a flash of the dagger, several five-clawed spiders that were basically buried in the soil were dismantled into fragmentary organs. Then the soil covered their bodies. Congratulations to them for digging their own graves.

"Thankfully you emptied the jellyfish, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to come over." Friesen immediately disappeared into the shadows, and no one could find his trace.

"Idiot, this is not a mission given to you in the first place." Shuer did not speak, but from his hurried glance over, Saff actually understood this sentence.

If possible, Shuuer would definitely say this. This is a good opportunity to increase his favorability.Unfortunately, his attention had to shift from the fewer and fewer dragonflies behind him to the twenty-odd five-clawed spiders in front of him on the left.

The piercing insects on the left front arrived a little later than the other side. They had just started to prepare to dive, and then the tank opened fire.

The speed of the tank will be greatly reduced when it fires, and it is impossible to maintain the current high speed state. Once it fires, it will inevitably become the priority target of the ground thorns and chasing bugs. The first thing is to use another tank in exchange for everyone's chance to pass safely.

Sure enough, the speed of the No. [-] tank dropped sharply after the first shot, and it only lasted for three seconds. Before it even fired the second shot, it was submerged by the ground thorns on its back and the acid sprayed by the bugs. This time it even blew itself up. It was too late, and the overwhelming acid quickly corroded the tank's armor. Three seconds later, the tank completely lost power and turned into a pile of scrap metal.

However, with one blast, its mission has been completed, and it attracted another three seconds of firepower for everyone, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.I didn't expect it to fire the second shot. The power of the shells should not be underestimated. One shot was enough. Under the high-power bombardment, there may not be many five-clawed spiders left. By then, the vehicles in the convoy will definitely be damaged, but The entire army will not be wiped out.

However, before the cannonball exploded, Shuer's fists clenched, and his face even turned ugly, because he saw with his dynamic strength that the cannonball was about to land, but the large group of insects next to him did not spread out to avoid concentrating. Withstanding the firepower, he rushed madly towards the impact point of the shell.Are they crazy?
No, the queen of the insect swarm is not crazy. Relying on the hundreds of years of experience in fighting humans passed down through her blood, she has accurately found a way to break Xiul's tactics. As soon as the shells hit the ground, countless insects came out. They were stacked up like piles of wood, layer after layer, and in an instant they were already one meter high.

"Boom", the cannonball exploded with a definite muffled sound. All the insects piled on the explosion point were blown up into the sky. They enjoyed the treatment of a flying unit. Most of their bodies, which had withstood almost all the power of the explosion, had been destroyed. Destroyed, it is impossible to live anymore.But their sacrifice was valuable. They successfully suppressed the power of the cannonballs and kept the five-clawed spider unaffected.

Still miscalculated.Xiure hammered his head hard in his imagination. He really didn't expect that the queen of the insect swarm had such a method, because under normal circumstances, no one could do it.

At the same time, let all the soldiers around you rush to the explosion point without fear of death, and exchange hundreds or thousands of lives for an opportunity to ambush. Don’t be kidding, let’s not say whether it can get so many soldiers to unify their thoughts. Even if it can, it will be too late. Yeah, only a group like the insect swarm, whose consciousness absolutely controls all individuals, can achieve this.

The result of the explosion came out. Tank No. [-] sacrificed himself, but failed to kill even a five-clawed spider. Moreover, the best attack time was missed. Now even if Shuuer wanted to adjust his tactics, it was too late. He I even have to admire the queen of the swarm for being able to use such a creative method of dying together.

However, due to admiration, Xiure did not despair yet. He believed that Wei could understand the meaning of his order regardless of the cost.This gave Wei free discretion. She could use any method as long as she could kill these five-clawed spiders.

As expected, Wei did not disappoint Shuer.

Just when everyone was shocked by the madness of the insect swarm regardless of sacrifice, a sharp tearing sound of air suddenly sounded in their ears. The four missiles were almost synchronized with the sound, screaming and crashing into the group of five-clawed spiders that were half buried in the ground.

There is no doubt that the ghost fighter in the sky is in action. The cannon is indeed useless against the overwhelming swarm of dragonflies, but the two missiles mounted on the fighter are different.Although the missiles are actually used against the air and their power to attack the ground is greatly reduced, the combined power of the four missiles is not small. As long as they explode into the center of the five-clawed spider swarm, the shock wave is enough to destroy most of the piercing insects. As for the rest, It depends on who has worse luck, the swarm or the team.

Um?wrong.

Shuer suddenly raised his eyebrows. He discovered that the four missiles did not hit the center of the five-clawed spiders, but hit one side, destroying only a few on the edge.

Weird, Wei is an artificial intelligence and cannot make such low-level mistakes as missing the target. Why would she choose to bomb the edge?Could it be that...god, she really doesn't care about the cost.

Guessed right.

The missile exploded, and the sound of tearing air did not disappear, but became more harsh. Even from a distance, the high-level mercenaries on the vehicle could feel a wind pressure blowing against their faces, making everyone's hair stand up. .

There was a huge roar, and then flames shot into the sky. At the moment when the flames lit up, everyone saw that a ghost fighter plane directly hit the ground at full speed, and a violent explosion occurred.The Ghost fighter plane was completely destroyed, metal fragments scattered in all directions, and the shock wave carried high temperature and debris and swept through the insect swarm. Wherever it passed, it was devastated. Even the groundworms and monster snake insects were blown to pieces. The five-clawed spider at the center of the explosion was Not to mention, it was blown to pieces, and even the body could not be found.

"Awesome, Wei, well done." Shuer has never been stingy with his praise, especially to his soldiers, "I'm sorry for the loss..."

"Bang bang bang", before the words fell, a piercing crash sounded like raindrops. The sound came from under his body, that is, the chassis of the truck compartment.

The convoy was moving forward at full speed. Unknowingly, because it had to lead the defense against air attacks, the truck in which Schur was sitting had fallen behind. After destroying the No. [-] tank, the thorn in the back finally turned its target to the convoy.Other vehicles had successfully escaped the attack range of the ground thorns, and only the truck was hit by the aftermath.

The good news is that there are very few ground thorns that can hit the truck, and they can’t hit the more important front of the truck. They can only attack the rear of the truck without mechanical equipment, so that the truck will not explode. But the bad news is that even if it is a heavy-duty Trucks are also much lighter than tanks. The ground thorns can lift the tank a few millimeters off the ground, and it is easier to jack up the truck. Therefore, although it failed to pierce the thickened chassis of the truck, it kept bouncing the truck body up. , During the impact, the violently bumping car was crooked, as if it might overturn at any time.

"Help." Just when Xiure lost his footing and simply knelt on the roof of the carriage to grab the edge and try his best to maintain his balance, and when the carriage finally escaped the range of the ground stab attack, three people flew out of the carriage, violently. The bumps caused them to lose control. They flew out of the car with desperate hands and feet, and fell heavily to the ground. The next moment, a large swarm of insects swarmed up and jumped on them, threatening to tear them into pieces at any time.
