My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1490 1487. Final Evolution: The Swarm is Born to Devour the World

Seven hours before the assault on Hive Zero began, the Scarlet Dawn had already begun moving towards the location of Hive Zero.

This starship is large enough to accommodate all the players and vampires. The best part is that when the vampires built this ship on their home planet, it was built according to the standards of an immigration ship, which means there is no shortage of entertainment venues on this ship.

In the ecological area with expanded space, there is even a 1:1 replica of an "entertainment town".

That must be the wildest and most interesting place on the vampire home planet, which is why it was replicated on the starship before the end of the world. I don’t know which genius found this place, but it soon became the "happy home" for the Gray Expedition players.

A group of guys who had finished preparing for war even played billiards here.
This exaggerated sense of relaxation before the war made the group of vampires speechless about these foreigners. However, just as the Scarlet Dawn was moving at a constant speed in the stratosphere, very bad news was delivered to Murphy.

"Communication transferred in."

First Officer Solma, who was commanding the starship, said something seriously, and then the communication request was transferred to Murphy. The information stamp proved that the information came from Transia and the sender was Scarlet Governor Miriam.

Murphy raised his eyebrows, and after connecting the call, Miriam's holographic projection appeared in front of him. When he saw Miriam put on military uniform again, which was rare after the Black Disaster, the Vampire Governor guessed the truth.

he asked:
"I guess the dormant period of the edge hive has ended, and the insect tide in the rear has also erupted?"

"Yes, the sky above Scarlet Castle is now full of bugs. All activities in and outside the city have stopped. I have just issued a war martial law order."

Miriam was not nervous, but said seriously:
"But we have carried out the cleanup of Transia very well. The brave militiamen have dealt with all the marginal Zerg nests within the entire country. The problem now is that we cannot prevent the Zerg swarms from breaking out in other places.

It has been found that the flying insects attacking Scarlet Castle come from the Kavhoka area. That place is still in a mess and there is no effective control at all. It is normal for the insects to circumvent and steal the home.

I just had a conversation with His Excellency Grand Liong, the Regent of the Principality of Capet. A swarm of Zerg also appeared in their narrow territory, but the Knights of the Holy Light and the Werewolves of Eris were very powerful and suppressed the edge of the Zerg nest before it broke out.

This is roughly the situation in the center of the continent.

The advancement of the ground swarm takes time, but the trouble is the flying insects that are flying around. These guys are attacking every creature they can see like crazy.

Such a violent state is also very rare for the Zerg, so I want to ask you, is there something wrong on the front line?"

"The Scale Father is about to be born, Miriam. It is making its final devouring effort, eager to complete its evolution towards becoming a god."

Murphy replied calmly:

“But don’t worry!

The more it eats, the more the injected toxins penetrate into its blood and bones. You can optimistically view this as the final madness of the swarm.

Although I have great confidence in your operational capabilities, I still want to ask, can the shelters in various regions of Transia meet the needs of our people?"

“At the moment, it’s more than enough.”

Miriam leaned on her Scarlet Lady sword and said with certainty:

"Although there were many immigrants pouring in, this did not affect the Stonemasons Brotherhood's design of supporting shelter areas in the newly established areas. Following the ancient tradition of the Songhai Empire, the shelters under the city were very safe.

Although there is still a risk of being discovered by the diggers, the divine reinforcements performed by the earth priests have reduced the risk to a minimum. "

"No matter how dangerous the shelter is, it's much safer than running around in the city at this time."

Murphy nodded and said:

"Then I'll leave the rear to you, Miriam. If possible, have the soldiers from Cadman City go out to help those unlucky people in Kafhoka. We are already on our way to Hive Zero. If you're lucky, you'll be able to breathe a sigh of relief by this time tomorrow."

"Does this mean that this swarm of insects will last at least 24 hours?"

Miriam sighed and said:

"The souls of the underworld are going to get busy again. Damn it, can't this damn world allow people to live a good life?"

Seeing that the Scarlet Archon, who was always known for his generosity, began to swear, Murphy couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Yes, a peaceful era will come, provided that we wade through this boiling river before us. As for the opening of the Hades today, I think you are overthinking it.

Your boss is the Will of the Underworld. If you have read the first edition of the Underworld Management Manual I issued, you would know that when this continental disaster spreads and affects the cycle of life and death, the Underworld Army will be dispatched.

I think that even by the most stringent standards, the performance of the living in the locust plague was enough to satisfy the dead. Therefore, the dead could not continue to watch the fun in the audience, they also had to make their own voices heard at this time.

hold onto!
The Hades Army will appear when you need it most.

Well, only by facing death, respecting death, and embracing death can we stay away from death. "

Murphy's communication faded away. In the administrative building of Scarlet Castle, Miriam shrugged. She already knew that Murphy had completed the evolution of Blood Ancestor, and she felt that her boss was becoming more and more like the "big boss behind the scenes".

Look at the tone of his voice, wow, he's so pretentious that I want to slap him in the face on his handsome face.

"boom"

As soon as Miriam thought of this somewhat blasphemous thought, there was a loud noise in front of her eyes, and a hideous flying insect crashed directly into the glass of her office, scaring the Archon. Amid the sound of shattering glass, the hideous creature howled and pounced on Miriam, but was quickly shot down by the Scarlet Archon who pulled out the Hammer Guard from under the table.

The roaring dragon breath bomb shattered the guy's head armor and ignited his flesh and blood, causing it to fall to the ground, twitch a few times, and then turn into a corpse.

Although Miriam was not very powerful, she was a civil servant who started her career with Murphy. It was not a problem to praise her for her proficiency in archery and horsemanship. Moreover, from the fact that the dragon breath bullets could shatter the head armor of flying insects, it could be seen that the insects hatched from the edge nests in the rear were not as exaggerated as those on the locust wall.

They did not have enough resources to produce a large number of dragon beetles, and this time they even created these ordinary, unupgraded bugs for the sake of genetic plunder. It can be seen that Murphy's words "the last madness of the swarm" still make some sense.

But this also represents the vicious tactics of the Zerg.

First use ordinary insects to plunder biomass and genes, and then accumulate a large wave to launch an elite raid. The shared evolution of the swarm means that even the marginal nests have the evolutionary map of dragon insect species, but because of the "population limit" and previous dormancy, they can't hold back their big moves right away.

"Wipe the blood off the floor. It looks disgusting."

Miriam put down the shotgun that was emitting smoke and calmly gave instructions to the guards who rushed into the office.

Then she walked around the twitching body of the insect, stood in front of the broken glass and looked at the city in front of her. The anti-aircraft firepower outside the Scarlet Castle was firing into the sky, making the once prosperous city area now occupied by the smoke of war and overwhelming flying insects.

Those brave militiamen, led by the vampires, walked through the streets looking for advantageous positions to set up their guns. From time to time, upgraded Iron Fist missiles would fly into the sky and explode. The city defense army's dragoons had also been dispatched outside the city to block the Zerg's ground forces.

Well, exciting street fighting!
Isn't this what the Transians are best at? The bugs are really good at picking.

The defense of the main city area such as Scarlet Castle is definitely sufficient, but in the situation of a full-scale Zerg outbreak, the defense of the small towns in the rear is a bit stretched.

However, the administrative players who serve as chief officers in each town also have their own ways. Cramming everyone into the shelter is the least cost-effective but also the safest strategy. Administrative players who want to take a chance have already begun to command small-scale battles with their respective militias and guards.

For example, the classic "Mount and Blade" is being performed in Booty Bay.

"Follow me! Brothers, everyone will be rewarded if we defeat the bugs!"

Boss Huo, driving a power armor and holding high the decomposition sword, pretended to be the loyal commander of the Star Army under Old Man Huang.

He shouted and led his luxurious guards composed entirely of silver warriors to charge through the deserted casino streets. Given the strength and equipment of this group of guys, the bugs on the ground would be nothing more than food for the hungry ghosts if they came too few.

After all, as a famous wealthy place on the continent, the defense system of this small place, Treasure Bay, is no worse than that of Scarlet Castle.

Boss Huo has always been very concerned about the safety of his business. Ever since the insect plague broke out, he has invested heavily in repairing his city's defenses. There are seven anti-aircraft firepower positions around the town alone, and there are also two heavily armed airships here for fire support and air combat.

Moreover, during this critical moment, Treasure Bay also served as a place to shelter refugees from surrounding towns. Steam trains brought villagers here one after another, and the trucks that usually transported goods also kept bringing people here.

As a famous commercial town, Booty Bay has enough underground shelters that are large and luxurious enough that gamblers can even continue to enjoy the thrilling pleasures underground.

Someone has already made a betting, betting on which wave of attack the bugs will be defeated after.

The most interesting thing is that Boss Huo organized all the bankrupts who had been staying in the city for a long time and announced to them that their debts could be forgiven as long as they killed the insects. This caused a group of bankrupts to scream and follow Boss Huo in charging forward.

If you don't know, you might think this is a base of the Transian People's Army. Otherwise, it can't explain why the morale is so damn high.

"Boss Huo! Have your station allocate a special track for the armored train of the Dongfeng Vehicle Factory! That madman, Oonijiang, has really made the armored train he dreamed of. He is now following the railway from Lion King's Pride Town to your side.

Damn, that firepower is incredible, it's like a monkey version of a Land Cruiser, that thing is just sparking and lightning all the way."

Just when Boss Huo was leading a group of thugs to slaughter bugs and enjoying the simple "general dream" of the super-rich, a notice from other administrative players made him stop fighting. How smart is old Huo!

He immediately sensed some kind of business opportunity from this news. While he had his guards go to the town train station to deliver the order, he also sent a message to Oo Ni Jiang, saying:

"Don't waste such heavy weapons in Transya, kid. The situation here is very stable, and the mountain people haven't even been dispatched yet. Why are you in such a hurry? Send a message to Kavhoka and see if they need humanitarian firepower support, and then ask for a high price!
If you don’t handle this wave well, you can earn enough money to buy a second armored train, so turn around quickly!

From here, we will go to Batasi City, where we will replenish our ammunition, and then we will transfer to Bernie City via the train station to make some war profits."

"I'm Chao! Lao Huo, you are indeed a natural born capitalist. I'm convinced. I'll contact you right away!"

There was a scream from Ounijiang, which made Lao Huo curl his lips.

He looked at the defeated insects on the street in front of him, his mind working wildly, thinking that perhaps Booty Bay's business should be transformed into an arms business. It would be a bit of a waste for Transia's arms production to only supply the People's Army. Shouldn't such good things be shared with the rest of the world?
Just like this swarm of insects!

This world is too dangerous, with cultists, chaotic creatures, and all kinds of natural and man-made disasters that can break out at any time. In this damn environment, do ordinary people really dare to go out to farm without a strong and durable large-caliber shotgun to protect themselves? And can students really survive the journey to school without a short and powerful self-defense firearm? If teachers don't bring light machine guns to class, how can they protect their students when danger comes?

Well, this is such a good idea!
It’s a pity that Chenyu and the others are still in Abyss City supporting the front line, otherwise I would be able to have a feasibility report in a few minutes.
-
The Transians had made sufficient preparations for the war, and the early cleaning of the edge insect nests was very timely so the situation they faced was not difficult. The climate over there was very bad, and the insect swarms did not reproduce on a large scale, so the wolf girl did not have to scratch her head in frustration.

But in this situation, the Plantagenet Kingdom, which has the best climate in the country and a large population, becomes a very dangerous area.

It's not that King Louis didn't work hard enough, it's just that the territory was too large and his army couldn't eliminate all the discovered edge insect nests, not to mention those hidden in the corners.

Urgent reports from various regions even made the kingdom appear to be in a precarious situation. The worst part was that when the Zerg began its final plunder, King Louis happened to be patrolling in Bourbon City.

If he stayed on Green Island, he would not be in much danger, but the Anjou region where Bourbon City was located was still in the process of redistribution of power due to the withdrawal of the Capet family, making it difficult to concentrate on clearing the insect nest. The direct result was that King Louis and Queen Elizabeth were trapped in the city together.

What a wretched old man.

In his own palace, the king leaned on a sword and frowned as he watched the guards outside the window attacking the flying insects in the sky. Just by looking at the number of insects in the sky, he knew that the Anjou region would suffer a great loss in this wave.

"I will hang all those bastards who are just sitting around doing nothing but fighting for power and gain on the gallows!"

King Louis cursed:
"When the Capet family ruled here, the city's defense was not so bad. Bourbon, how many generals and marshals were born here, but how did it fall into such a bad state now?"

"Being ambitious and having ability are not contradictory, and when it comes to the standards that a monarch requires of his subjects, the latter is obviously more important than the former."

Queen Elizabeth whispered:
"It turns out that you need more Capet families, Louis, especially on this turbulent eve. Although you always gnashed your teeth at the Count of Lyon, if we had such a courageous ruler by our side at this time, our pressure would be much less.

The kingdom's bureaucracy needs a cleansing, and the incompetents need to return to their proper positions."

"Yes, I would rather exchange twelve rat mayors for one brave lieutenant."

King Louis shrugged his shoulders, took the helmet from his wife, and said:
"At this moment, I want to stand with my soldiers. Could you please go to the Bourbon Military Academy to convey my order? My dear queen, I need those students to gather and rush to their first battlefield to defend the city and its people, defeat those bugs and rebuild the kingdom's combat power.

I'm not leaving here!"

He said in a deep voice:

"I want to stay in Bourbon to witness the end of the locusts and welcome my son back here. You know, William's letter almost scared me to death."

"Yes, the child was in such a hurry that he actually sent back the suicide note and the letter home together."

The queen rubbed her forehead helplessly. Before leaving, she said to her husband:

"But the 'Winter General' described in William's family letter should indeed attract your attention, Louis. The Nords already have the capital to settle down, and you also need to find your own 'King's Certificate'."

"But how can the rise and fall of a kingdom depend on external things? I've been reading the history of foreigners recently, about their glorious past and their achievements that were almost impossible to achieve."

Louis obviously had a different opinion on this. He looked at the soldiers outside the door and said:

"I believe that the so-called 'King's Certificate' has always been in our hands."
