Chapter 113 The Swarm's Counterattack

The originally indestructible machine beast began to show signs of fatigue under the continuous attack of the insect swarms.

These acid dragonflies hover over the giant machine beast, then swoop down quickly and spray high-pressure acid from their tails!
The strong acid splashed on the hard armor of the machine beast, making a "hissing" sound.

The wooden mechanism structure and metal soon became distorted and deformed by the corrosion of the acid, and huge holes began to appear on the body of the mechanism beast.

What's even more deadly is that the acid flows into the complex joints of the mechanical beast.

These high-precision components quickly melted and collapsed in the acid, and the machine beast's movements began to become slow and cumbersome.

The weapon fell from the weak mechanical hand, and the machine beast became unstable and fell to the ground.

A swarm of acid dragonflies pounced on the behemoth machine that had lost the ability to fight back. Their corrosive acid quickly turned the behemoth machine into piles of twisted and deformed waste.

These highly corrosive acids themselves are also highly volatile and flammable. Each time they are sprayed, a large amount of strong acid vapor will be left behind, filling the air with a pungent sour smell.

At this time, a group of self-banaling insects that looked like cockroaches joined the battlefield.

They climbed up the broken body of the giant mechanism beast and got into the gaps formed by acid corrosion.

Subsequently, a large amount of flammable chemicals stored in the body of the self-destructing cockroach reacted quickly, triggering a violent explosion in the body of the machine beast.

In an instant, the sky was filled with flames, and thick black smoke billowed into the sky. The body of the agency structure was quickly transformed into twisted ruins under the influence of the serial explosions.

More self-destructing cockroaches continue to climb up these huge structures that are still standing. They get into every corner they can enter and then self-destruct.

The burning high temperature quickly ignited the acid vapor that was constantly evaporating from the surface of the giant mechanical beast, and raging flames rose above the ruins, like the soul fire of dead mechanical life.

In the continuous explosions of self-destructing cockroaches, the once indestructible mechanical beast soon turned into a pile of twisted, deformed, hot and rolling waste debris.

The tall fortress gate also collapsed in the sea of ​​fire.

The vast army of insects rushed into the fortress city like a flood that broke a dike.

When the agency structure was on the verge of collapse, a more powerful insect swarm joined the battlefield.

These are massive schizoids, each more than 10 meters long, with six powerful legs and a huge, split mouthparts.

The Splinter's body is wrapped in strong armor, and its back is covered with sharp spines and ridged scales.

Their mouthparts can separate up and down, left and right, and tear apart prey like pincers.

The Insurgency's heavy footsteps rumbled across the battlefield, crushing ruins and corpses with every step.

A Separatist took a fancy to the behemoth machine that was still struggling to hold on, and quickly pounced on it and clamped its arm tightly with its mouthparts.

The machine beast used its other hand to beat the Splinter as hard as possible, but the hard armor was not damaged at all.

The Splinter slowly tightened its mouthparts, and the machine structure groaned under its clamp, and then broke apart with a loud noise! ​​The machine beast lost an arm, and its broken body rolled on the ground.

More Insurgents swarmed in, locked the limbs and torso of the machine beast with their mouthparts, and then pulled them apart in opposite directions at the same time.

Under the merciless bite of the Splinter, the body of the machine beast was quickly torn into several pieces, and the gear parts were scattered on the floor.

At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it was so gloomy that it seemed like the end of the world was coming.

There was a rumble of thunder in the distance, heralding the coming of a storm.

The aloof birdmen gathered above the dark clouds, their huge wings flapping in the strong wind.

They gathered the dark clouds in the sky and prepared to launch a thunderous strike against the insect swarm below.

The silver birdman lieutenant was at the forefront of the clouds, holding his hands high and muttering something.

I saw the dark clouds gathering thicker and thicker, and more and more lightning was jumping in the clouds.With a deafening thunder, the silver birdman suddenly waved his hand!
Fierce lightning flashed across the sky, converging into a violent lightning chain and hitting the earth.

The electric light illuminated the entire wasteland, bringing all the insect swarms into view.

With the roar, the thunder chain accurately hit the position of the main force of the insect swarm!
The thunder launched by the birdmen was only the beginning, and more gathered lightning struck the scattered insect swarms one after another.

However, this sweeping thunder was of no consequence to the swarm.

A long time ago, Gu Hao, the leader of the insect swarm, was aware of the threat from the sky, so he ordered his brainworms to integrate the genes of electric eels into the bodies of all warriors.

Now, each soldier insect has a powerful anti-electricity protective layer like an electric eel in its body, and can direct all lightning to the ground.

When the first lightning flashed, the insect swarm army did not flinch.Instead, each soldier insect fearlessly faced the thunder, using its body as a conductor to transmit energy to the earth beneath its feet.

The ground suddenly exploded with sparks, but the insect swarm still stood firm.

The subsequent lightning strikes were more violent, but the swarm was well prepared.They are arranged into circuit arrays to disperse energy in an orderly manner.

Even if a few soldiers occasionally fell down due to lightning overload, the overall formation remained strong.

Amid the buzzing sound, the swarm of insects rushed out. Tens of thousands of self-destructing cockroaches turned into a pitch-black wave and crashed towards the soaring bird-man army.

These cockroaches also have electric eel genes implanted in their bodies, gaining powerful lightning resistance.

When the first thunder exploded overhead, the swarm of self-exploding cockroaches were no longer afraid. Instead, they embraced the wind and flew into the dark clouds, letting the electric current run through their bodies.

Thousands of cockroaches shuttled through the dark clouds, like undead in the night.

With every thunder, dozens of cockroaches turned into flying debris around the birdman.

Although the time is short, the high temperature or acid at this moment is enough to scorch the birdman's feathers and make him lose his ability to fly.

The cockroach's self-destruction spread over a wide area, and the bird people fell into chaos.

They flapped their wings desperately in an attempt to escape, but they could not escape the lightning-exploding hell.

Under the intensive self-explosion, the Birdman Legion suffered heavy losses.

They had to retreat and temporarily withdraw from the battlefield.

However, this was only the beginning of the swarm's counterattack.

A swarm of acid dragonflies followed closely behind, spraying out high-pressure corrosive acid.

The acid eroded through the birdmen's skin and feathers, exploding bloody holes in their bodies.

The birdman screamed in pain, but could only watch as his wings were completely corroded.

At the same time, the Destruction Bee also joined the battle group and launched a suicidal attack on the Birdman frantically.

They pierce the birdman's eyes with sharp steel needles and inject deadly neurotoxins into his body.

The birdman twitched and fell, lifeless like a kite with its strings broken.

The constant onslaught of acid and suicide bees weakens the Birdman's combat effectiveness.

They retreated steadily and suffered heavy casualties. The insect swarm did not let go of any birdman who fled the battlefield.
The sentries on the walls roared, and sirens resounded throughout the fortress.

Legions of all races quickly gathered to organize a second line of defense to deal with the insect swarm attack.The silver-white scaled dragon man wears light armor and holds a flaming blade spear.

They manipulated the flame magic derived from their bloodline to burn a wall of fire on the city wall, blocking the advance of the insect swarm.

The copper-skinned dwarves aimed the forts on the city wall at the dense insect swarms and bombed them. The smoke filled the air and the insect waves were reduced by half.

The Taoist archers drew their bowstrings full, and the arrows turned into silver light and shot into the insect swarm. Each arrow took the life of an insect.

The monks from the Taoist civilization also joined in the defense.They formed a dharma seal, injected the power into their veins, and shot out Dao Qi from their palms to cut through the insect swarm.

Wherever the Dao Qi passed, the insect swarms were cut apart. At the same time, they also used the pulse gate to summon huge waves and hurricanes, which rolled up the insect swarms and threw them off the city wall, shattering their bodies into pieces.

Under the joint offensive of the two races' military forces, the insect swarm's attack gradually weakened.

However, the number of insect swarms was too great and they were still pressing crazily towards the city wall.

The defense line must be reinforced, otherwise the corrosive acid will soon erode the walls and put the fortress in danger.This war has just begun.

In a solemn hall, several civilized generals sat around a huge round table to discuss strategies against the swarm.

The atmosphere in the hall was tense and solemn, and everyone's eyes revealed worries about the future war.

A wooden general wearing gorgeous armor said:

"The number of insect swarms is too huge. Our investigation agency report shows that there are dozens of insect swarms that can't be seen at a glance."

"This is simply unprecedented! We have to find a way to develop an effective strategy, otherwise we will not be able to withstand their offensive."

Another dragon general thought for a moment and then said:

"Although the number of insect swarms is huge, our strength cannot be underestimated."

"We should make full use of our troops and weapons and equipment, and adopt a strategy of concentrating superior forces and defeating more with less."

"We can divide the swarm into several small parts, and then attack separately to quickly defeat their lineup."

An older human general interjected: "We can't just rely on numerical superiority, we also need to take into account the special abilities of the insect swarm."

"According to previous information, the insect swarm has powerful rapid reproduction and self-healing capabilities."

"We need to find the weaknesses of the swarm, such as their command centers or control nodes, and weaken their strength by targeting these key targets."

A legion staff officer continued: "In addition, we can also use the reconnaissance machine bird to conduct aerial reconnaissance to discover the movement route and command core of the insect swarm."

"Then, we can take advantage of the terrain and set up traps and ambush points to weaken the swarm's offensive to the greatest extent."

"At the same time, we also need to contact the main civilization immediately and call in more legions, otherwise we won't be able to hold on for long."

Several generals pondered, carefully considering every suggestion.

Facing such a huge swarm of insects, only by formulating a precise and effective strategy can we win this war.

They need to make full use of their respective advantages and at the same time pay attention to the special abilities of the swarm in order to find a breakthrough in this seemingly unsolvable battle.

The discussion lasted for a long time, and finally, several generals reached a consensus and decided to combine their respective strategies to form a complete set of strategies.

Under the helpless situation, various civilized legions began to shrink their defense lines and resolutely decided to give up all areas that could not be defended.

Their hearts were full of unwillingness to be beaten like this by a little lord.

But in order to conserve limited resources and manpower, this is their only option.

Gradually, the war weapons on various fronts began to retreat and gathered towards the third line of defense.

In the assembly area of ​​the third layer of defense, soldiers were busy organizing the defense line, repairing fortifications, and preparing to face the enemy's attack.

The officers were busy strategizing at the command post, scheduling the position and tasks of each soldier.

But will the swarm give them enough time to build a third layer of defense? It's obviously impossible.

Various machine beasts and engineering units are busy building a third layer of defense, hoping to withstand the incoming enemy.

However, at this critical moment, dozens of giant scythes suddenly rushed into the second layer of defense.

These giant scythes are tall and powerful, and their bodies are covered with a hard shell.

Their giant sickle-shaped jaws are extremely sharp, shining with a cold light, as if they are already thirsty for the taste of blood.

Upon seeing this, the soldiers fired their artillery cannons at the giant scythes. Countless long-range weapons on the machine tower also fired at the giant scythes, trying to intercept them.

However, the giant scythes were not afraid, and despite the fierce bombardment, they rushed into the second layer of defense and launched a collision with the machine tower.

The mechanism tower of Mozi Civilization suddenly collapsed at this moment, unable to provide strong fire support.

The soldiers of various civilizations felt powerless, and the last line of defense they relied on seemed unable to withstand these huge and strong enemies.

The scene where the giant scythes rushed into the second layer of defense instantly became chaotic and dangerous.

The soldiers desperately attacked the weak points of the giant scythes, trying to drive them back.

However, the bodies of the giant scythes are extremely strong and almost impossible to break through.

On the second layer of defense, the giant scythe was like a huge scythe, cutting out several huge gaps.

With the impact of the giant scythe, the insect swarms poured in from these gaps like a flood, quickly occupying the entire defense line like a dark tide.

The stinging insects roared and sprayed out countless poisonous stingers, instantly knocking down the soldiers on the defense line.

The acid dragonfly also pressed forward on the front line. The acid was extremely corrosive and mercilessly corroded everything it came into contact with, filling the air with a pungent rotten smell.

The soldiers ran for cover, but surrounded by the insect swarms, they had nowhere to escape.

The acid dragonflies were like the god of death, hovering mercilessly in the air and swooping down.

They spread their wings and fly so fast that no one can catch them.

Every blow would bring up a gust of wind, pushing these civilized legions into a more desperate situation.

Counterattacks on the defense line came one after another, but they were completely suppressed by the number of insect swarms.

The civilized legions fought hard, but their weapons were almost useless under the impact of the giant scythe.

Countless insect swarms poured in, as if the black tide was swallowing them.

They waved the weapons in their hands, but each swing could only take away a few bugs, which was unable to stop the swarm's offensive.

They could only watch the swarms approaching and feel the shadow of death gradually enveloping them.

The huge gap created by the giant scythe seemed like a door to hell, from which swarms of insects poured in continuously.
