My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1451 1448. Exploding Plague: Rise of the Black God
"Suiying City is just ahead. I can see the spire! Zhuo, why is the tower on fire? It looks like a torch. Are we late?"

A group of vampire players were spreading their wings and flying quickly towards Deep Shadow City, exchanging information with each other. These players from the Blood Eagle Clan were the most loyal to Lord Murphy. When they saw the tower of the Shadow Elf City built on high stalactite columns being set on fire, their first reaction was that Lord Murphy was in danger.

But in fact, such an idea is a bit nonsensical and a "dog-licking" mentality.

Given their Lord Murphy's extremely wide network of contacts, he would not be as calm as he is now if he really encountered danger. Look, although Deep Shadow City is being attacked by a swarm of insects, didn't a single demigod from the star realm come?
Even Murphy's collaborator Pipi Snake didn't show up, not to mention the legendary Iron Sisters of the Order.

So we can only say that everything is under control. So far, nothing has happened that can make Murphy flustered. However, the young players are all great actors. They know how to take the initiative to perform at critical moments in order to improve the precious favorability of the main NPC.

So these vampires accelerated again at high altitude and changed their clothes while moving quickly.

While flying over the chaotic walls of Deep Shadow City, the players transformed into "Vampire Airmen" performed a wave of foreign "traditional arts" for the shadow elves below.

They circled around the stalactite columns high up, then took turns approaching the city wall in a stepped bombing formation, dived into the swarm at high speed, and dropped the bombs on their backs amid strange cries.

Those who are selected into the Gray Expeditionary Force are all true elites. Their increased strength has also allowed a breakthrough in their wing load. They are no longer using the light incendiary bombs of the past, but heavy cluster bombs.

The red-painted bombs were equipped with traditional buzzers, and the piercing sounds of hell also rang out in the territory of the shadow elves. After the sharp and piercing whistles, the cluster bombs smashed into the battlefield, and the horrifying explosions plowed out giant craters and spectacular smoke in the rapidly attacking sea of ​​insects.

The cluster bombs that were listed as "anti-human weapons" in another world had their own uses after being catalyzed by fuel gold. At least when fighting against dense swarms of insects, the killing efficiency of this thing was really good.

Although this scene was not enough to reverse the situation, it restored the poor morale on the city wall. After seeing the arrival of reinforcements, the family guards and militia in the city who were caught in a tough battle suddenly regained the confidence to continue fighting as if they had been given a shot of adrenaline.

The blood river that was now shrouding the sky above Suiying City was reversing at a speed that was almost catching up with the real torrent tide.

Echoes of various figures in vampire history appeared one after another, and the city wall was stabilized by relying on "saturation rescue", but the blood lords were notoriously high in attack and low in health, and would be shattered once they were besieged by elite bugs.

And the reversal of this thing will consume Murphy's energy.

Even though Murphy's energy bar was so long that the bugs were cursing him for hanging on the wall, if he continued to consume it like this, the Vampire Governor would not be able to hold on. Therefore, the timely appearance of the players was indeed a great achievement, which also made Adele, who temporarily played the role of "supervisor", breathe a sigh of relief.

Adele's mental pressure comes from many aspects.

To her shame, in the past ten minutes or so, she had already chopped off the heads of many elven officers who had fled from the battlefield. If she continued to chop off heads like this, these bastards might really mutiny on the spot.

Although these shadow elves claim to be full of martial virtues, they basically follow the elite route of family guards.

This is determined by the separatist situation of the thirteen families. This ethnic group does not have a truly elite standing army. Even in a city like Suiying City with a population of over one million, the number of private soldiers and militia in the city will not exceed 40,000.

Therefore, when facing an enemy like the Zerg that fights with numbers but also has good quality, the Shadow Elves can achieve excellent results in a short period of time. However, once the battle time is prolonged, they will undoubtedly fall into a disadvantage.

What’s worse is that the shadow elves don’t understand the evolutionary principles of the Zerg.

The Zerg had already figured out their biological information in the previous fight against the Zerg harassment. The soldier insects in this batch of Zerg attacking Deep Shadow City were all types specialized in speed and agility. Their attack and pounce speeds were astonishingly fast. The soldier insects almost crushed the militia, and the elite insects could even keep up with the swordsman's moves when fighting against the Shadow Elf family warriors.

Such targeted specialization naturally stunned the elves at the first sight.

Of course, specializing in speed and agility will inevitably weaken health and defense, but it doesn't matter, the bugs have plenty of cannon fodder, and they will win even if they are outnumbered by 100. In this case, it is understandable that some elf officers who are fighting against the insect sea for the first time have a weak will to fight.

However, as the players' firepower support gradually arrived, the reduction in the number of Zerg assault waves allowed the psychic spellcasters in the city wall watchtowers and the wizard towers in the city to finally let go and use highly lethal psychic power to support the battlefield and clear the airspace in the city.

The flying insects' pillaging and destruction in the city have affected the front lines, and these annoying bugs must be eliminated as soon as possible.

The better news is that the three daughters of Matron Drusilla also flew into the sky in the form of true dragons and began to fight against the flying insects, and the archers guarding the Sovereign Tower were able to free up their hands to fight in the air.

It seems that the situation in the Shadow Tower has been settled, which makes the commanders of the Mage Tower high up feel relieved. They are also able to quickly set up an air defense barrier to prevent the flying insects from further eroding the territory in the city.

This series of changes took place within thirty minutes, allowing the critical situation on the city wall to begin to stabilize.

Although the performance was a bit disappointing, the defense of Suiying City finally got on the right track.

Seeing that with the strong fire support, the warriors on the Shadow Elf city wall once again stood firm, the "old airman" Ge Bao, who served as the air commander, gave an order, and the players of the Blood Eagle Clan replaced their incendiary bombs and reappeared on the high stalactite platform.

This time their target was no longer the front line but the area behind the swarm. Soon a raging fire broke out from behind the sea of ​​​​insects.

This is the traditional tactic of the Transians!

Use the wall of fire cast by incendiary bombs to isolate and divide the battlefield in order to plan the enemy's deployment.

After several improvements by the First National Arsenal, today's incendiary bombs are no longer ordinary ignition and explosion modes. By adding the sea of ​​fire after the reaction of gold compounds, breakthroughs have been made in both the killing range and the temperature limit. They have already conducted weapons tests in the Locust Wall.

Not even elite bugs or beetles could survive such flames for long.

Unfortunately, elite bugs are almost at the limit of this new type of incendiary bomb. For dragon bugs, this kind of flame still cannot harm them.

However, the good news is that there are not many dragon worms in the swarm besieging Deep Shadow City, only three, and one of them has been killed by Lady Tracey with the blood curse magic with the assistance of Lady Philosir. However, this super-large swarm lord is a deadly threat to the walls of Deep Shadow City.

This city was built on a mountain with rugged terrain, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Unfortunately, when Ms. Drusilla's mother was building the city, she did not think about using her own city walls to fight against the "Enhanced Bull" in the future. In short, just after the fourth bombing by the vampire aviation force, the city wall near the city gate was still damaged by the continuous impact of the Dragon Beetle Lord.

If that guy keeps crashing down like this, this section of the city wall will probably collapse completely.

The swarm of flying insects that covered the sky was enough to cause chaos in the Shadow City. If the ground swarm of insects entered the city, it would be a devastating situation.

"Meow, stop slacking off! Use your big bird group as the vanguard and bring the power armor knights! Go there and kill that dragon beetle!"

The news was quickly reported to the commander by the vampires. A few minutes later, Happy Stick's full-throated roar echoed in the player channel. He shouted:

"The remaining Goldens, lead your teams to hunt down the other Swarm Lord! Chenlong, you have more people, go up to the city wall and set up a firepower position! These shadow elves don't have heavy firepower, and they can't last long relying on bows and psychic energy alone.

Vampires, stop throwing bombs and send some melee fighters to the city to help the shadow elves clear the flying insects!
Be careful of those kamikaze bugs, they'll kill you instantly if they hit you."

At this time, Kuailebang, who had led his own ratmen brigade to charge into the battlefield from the flank, noticed the danger of the city wall. He grabbed the calculation orb and issued instructions to various forces. After the players had made arrangements, he shouted to the ratmen:
"Hei Pusen, don't come to the front line! There are swarm lords and elite worms with high health here. Your rats will lose morale. Take them to steal the swarm's butts, kill the worker worms that recycle biomass at the back of the battlefield, follow them to find the location of the worm nest and fight there.

We'll come to help you once we've dealt with the front lines, hold on!"

"Mr. Bang, you told Black Servant the correct tactics, and Black Servant was very happy. But you underestimated the morale of the Big Stomach Rat Warriors, and Black Servant was unhappy."

Black Pusen, who was leading the rat army to bypass the front battlefield, still had time to chatter. He chirped:
"This is the opening of the Big Stomach Rat's Holy Communion. Just watch carefully. The people of the Black God will never let the Big Stomach Rat lose face. Guys! Charge, dig!
The glutton is watching us!

Hurry up and dig them up and eat them all!"

Well, from the roar of Hei Pusen, we know that the ratmen still adopted the traditional but useful digging tactics this time. The momentum of hundreds of thousands of ratmen vanguards digging at the same time was amazing. The insects did feel the vibration underground, but they were busy attacking the city wall and had no time to care about the changes underground. This negligence gave the ratmen a cunning opportunity.

They dug all the way through the underground area of ​​​​Suiying City, from the rear to the front line and then continued forward, opening a large hole in the central area of ​​​​the battlefield.

The scene was amazing.

Ah Zhu, who was wearing flight goggles in the sky, recorded the entire scene almost completely. He saw the rats digging a tunnel as big as three football fields behind the insect swarm, and then rushed out of it like a surging black tide, rushing in all directions with the simple weapons in their hands.

Even the ferocious soldier insects were stunned by this sudden attack.

The main reason was that there were too many ratmen pouring out at once, and they even gained a damn numerical advantage over the Zerg on the local battlefield.

While the soldier insect was viciously using its claws and sharp teeth to cut open a ratman, more than a dozen stone spears were simultaneously inserted into its shell.

They couldn't even stop the soldier insects specialized in combat, let alone the worker insects that were transporting biomass to the rear insect nests. These chubby insects were beaten to death by the rats with sticks, and there were also special big-eater rat cooking apprentices wearing strange hats who chopped off the legs of the worker insects and collected them as ingredients for the Holy Communion.

Darksen personally commands the giant rat-man warlord Manus Plagueclaw.

This guy who has already surrendered to it leads the giant ratmen assault team to hunt down elite bugs. When surrounded by a dozen giant ratmen fully armed with elven weapons, even an elite bug will suffer if it is left alone.

The most outrageous thing is that the three chefs who serve as the "Big Gourmet Rat Envoys" are now following the rat people in the charge.

The old boss of China was holding a berserker rifle and firing in the "faith shooting" mode, roaring like a hot-blooded old man as he fired. The younger and lighter Gangbang got a heavy machine gun for vehicle installation from somewhere, set it up on a high ground and enjoyed the fun of firing.

Lord Eight-Star Gunner Ryan lived up to his name, guarding the machine gun position with a dwarven large-caliber trench gun in his hand.

Kill each insect one by one, and if they come in a group, switch to deer bullets to sweep the area.

If the sea of ​​insects that attacked Deep Shadow City with the disadvantage of "attacking high from low" was originally a huge muddy river rolling forward, then the rats that suddenly burst out from the ground in the middle of the battlefield turned into huge rocks blocking the river at this moment.

Relying on their numerical advantage in the local battlefield, they completely blocked the front and rear battlefields, and forcibly turned the sea of ​​insects area into two positions.

The rats have a racial habit of "following the crowd", just like the gnolls' vassal race, the kobolds. They are nothing when alone, but once they gather in a group, these rats suddenly become bolder.

This is indeed a manifestation of the racial habit of "bullying the weak and fearing the strong". However, among the army of hundreds of thousands of ratmen at this time, every ratman can feel the power that can be brought by their unity, just like those armed ogres in Black Disaster that once gave players a headache. The ratmen who gathered together to really boost morale also turned into "Doomsday Rat" at this moment.

Their eyes were red, and they screamed the name of the big-eating rat in a mess. They rushed forward with their tails swung and stone spears leaning on them, stabbing and hitting randomly. However, even such an attack without any technical content made the invincible insect swarm retreat step by step.

There's nothing we can do. These rats chose a very good location for attack.

That was a high ground, making it impossible for the bugs to gather their numbers to counter the attack. The vampires above their heads kept dropping incendiary bombs to block their way. Unless a swarm lord suddenly appeared to lead the charge, the bugs' bestial habits of charging and attacking would not allow them to break through the ratmen's defenses.

"Hahaha! Big Stomach Rat is invincible! Big Stomach Rat is supreme! The Holy Communion is right before our eyes, charge! Kill!"

Black Servant, wielding the Staff of the Black God, rode on Manus' neck. He didn't have much psychic power to help his rats, but that didn't matter. Black Servant had seven psychic bags hanging from top to bottom, filled with various explosives from Transia.

Manus Plagueclaw, who was armed with it, also held a strange grenade launcher in his hand.

That was a simple and crude weapon designed by halflings for the gnoll thugs during the battle on the Genoa Peninsula. The energy storage device was entirely dependent on springs. It had no technical content but was very suitable for use by brainless guys like gnolls and giant rat men.

Hei Pu Sen also plans to popularize such weapons after the war.

"Let the flames consume everything."

Seeing Manus chopping down an elite insect with his giant axe, the Rat King screamed and jumped over, stuffed the lit gold bomb in his hand into the elite insect's big mouth and jumped away nimbly. The next second, the elite insect's head was blown to pieces amid the roar of fire, and the headless corpse fell to the ground twitching.

"Ha, this is the Holy Communion for the Black Servant!"

Hei Pusen laughed wildly and swung his tail, but at that moment, a faint voice suddenly exploded in his mind:

"Watch your back."

"what?"

Blackservant rolled forward like a torrent, narrowly avoiding the giant axe that was coming from behind. He then crawled out, turning back to glare at the ratman warlord Manus Plagueclaw who had failed in his sneak attack.

It screamed:

"Manus! Why?"

"No reason."

The naturally rebellious Ratman warlord, who pretended to be submissive, stared at the glowing Black God Staff in Hei Pusen's hand. He held the Elf's giant axe and said in a ferocious tone:
"Whoever holds that thing will be the king of the ratmen! You, a treacherous little man, have no right to represent the big stomach rats!"

"Ah, these are the dangers Hogg told me about."

Facing the betrayal of his subordinates, Black Servant did not care. He waved the Black God Staff and said:
"You want it? Come get it, idiot."

"Ah! Death!"

Manus roared and swung his giant axe at Black Servant, but he ignored the anti-personnel mine that he had thrown next to the elite insect's corpse when Black Servant rolled over.

This guy had never seen the Transian people's vicious weapons, and he felt something was wrong as soon as he stepped on it.

Its first reaction is to retract its foot.

then
"boom"

The horrific explosion and flying steel balls turned everything within five meters into powder. Black Pusen, who rolled out in advance, escaped the disaster, but Manus' lower body had been blown to pieces.

Its remains fell into a pool of blood, and its eyes had lost their light.

The dusty Hei Pu Sen got up, rushed over and gave the heartless bastard a hard kick. He was planning to make him the commander-in-chief.

Pooh!
Even the big-mouthed rats would not praise betrayal. You fool, may your soul suffer in the rat-men's hell for a hundred thousand years!
Ha, I am indeed the chosen one of the rat people.
