Doomsday Totem

Chapter 249 Queen
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Amidst the chaotic gunshots, shouts of killing, and wailing, Mu Qianhe calmly commanded the mecha artillery to bombard the thorn insect positions outside the fortress without distraction. More than 40 Leihuo units were divided into four teams by her, and each team was responsible for supporting one direction.Amidst the continuous sound of cannons, the phalanxes of thorn insects were blown up one by one.However, there are too many thorns. Although the range of the artillery is farther than that of the thorns, they cannot stop their advance at all.

At this moment, the fighting situation in the fortress was extremely fierce, with cracks appearing in the city walls in various directions one after another. More than one-third of the wolf army in the northwest had been killed or injured, but this was not bad, and more than half of the other directions had been killed or injured.Among them, the battle situation in the southeast is the most critical. The three city walls were knocked open by thunder beasts at the same time, and swarms of moths and self-destructing moths rushed in.Arnold led the sixth team to support, but was dragged there, unable to get out for a moment.

In the northwest battle, under the command of Tie Zha, Wang Hu, and Jerome, they killed four Thunder Beasts respectively, and then blocked the only gap with trucks, and gradually regained control of the city.

With the support of artillery, the thorn insect position in the northwest was bombarded to pieces, and it was no longer able to pose a large-scale threat.The soldiers who seized the top of the city started a new round of shooting.Although all the "iron guts" bazookas have been sold out, there are still a lot of fragmentation grenades.While shooting at the swarms below, the soldiers threw fragment grenades towards the densely populated areas.After losing the cover of the thunder beast and the stinger, the attack of the swarm gradually became weak.Except for a few who were able to climb to the top of the city, most of them died on the way forward.

Taking advantage of this gap, Iron Slag spit out a few mouthfuls of saliva towards the corpse of the gnat below the city wall, and hatched a large number of scout soldier ants, looking for the commander of the swarm.

It didn't take long before the swarms in the northwest became less and less, and the offensive became weaker and weaker.Seeing that this side was defended, Tie Zha sent Wang Hu and Jerome to lead the team respectively to support the defense in the northeast and southwest.

About 15 minutes later, with the stabilization of the battle situation everywhere, the attack of the swarm gradually weakened, and then they retreated, leaving behind corpses everywhere.

As soon as the swarm receded, Ju Amu, who had suffered some minor injuries, immediately led a large number of backup personnel to the scene and began to rush to repair the damaged city wall.They used vehicles, stainless steel tables and chairs, or scattered steel bars and steel plates to weld them to the gaps, and then piled stones or furniture such as lockers.And Qin Ke'er led the medical team, running back and forth in the hall on the first floor of the fort to rescue the seriously injured soldiers.

When the fortress was busy, Iron Slag and the uninjured or slightly injured soldiers stayed at the top of the city, continuing to observe the movement of the insect swarm.At this moment, there was a sharp pain under his ribs, probably several ribs were broken, but he didn't go down to receive treatment, he just gave himself an injection of anesthesia to relieve the pain.Because this kind of internal injury requires surgery and cannot recover immediately, it is of little significance to deal with it.And it won't be long before the next battle will begin.

While thinking, Wang Hu brought Arnold, Captain Nick, and another academy corps leader—Cheng Tong Owen to Tie Zha, and reported the battle damage, results and remaining troops to him.

In terms of battle damage, more than half of the "Ancient Tree Corps" defending the southeast were killed or injured, the regiment leader Yang Yigu was killed, 30% were seriously injured, and less than [-]% were still able to fight, about [-] people.The wolf army lost less, and there were more than [-] people.In addition, after excluding the seriously wounded, the other two legions had [-]% of their soldiers left, and there were a total of [-] or so soldiers in Calais.

In terms of battle results, [-] thunder beasts, about [-] crickets, and about [-] stinging insects were killed.

After listening to the battle report, Tie Slag stood up straight, looked at the re-gathering insect swarm in the distance, turned his head and asked, "What are your plans?"

Listening to his words, the four of them looked at each other without speaking.

"I think the reinforcements may not be able to arrive..." Tie Slag said slowly as his gaze swept over the faces of the four people.

"Alas..." The four of them sighed in unison, with lonely expressions on their faces.

Just when the four big men got together and sighed, Mu Qianhe was leading the mechanics to check the status of the mecha.There are a lot of shells in the fortress, and they can play a few more games, but the wear and tear of the artillery is not optimistic.Just now, in order to reduce the pressure on the city, the artillery was basically operating at overload.Now four Thunderfires have been paralyzed. If the frequency of shelling just now is maintained, it is estimated that there will be no more artillery available soon.

At the same time, in the hall on the first floor of the fortress, Qin Ke'er was carrying a bottle, shuttling back and forth among the wounded soldiers, and her pure white field nurse robe had been dyed red.There was constant wailing all around, and the wounded soldiers were lying on the ground in disorder. Some limbs were corroded by concentrated acid until there were only bones left, some large pieces of flesh were torn, and some chests and abdomens were even cracked, exposing their internal organs...

"Nurse...I'm in pain...It hurts..."

Qin Ke'er came to a seriously injured soldier, squatted down to give him a drip, and softly comforted him: "Be good~ you'll be fine soon~"

"Ah...Qin Ke'er...Are you Qin Ke'er?" The student soldier opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at Qin Ke'er's pretty face, and asked weakly.

"Yeah." "You... you are so beautiful..." "Thank you." Qin Ke'er raised her head and smiled faintly at him.

"I...will I die?" "No." "You...you...can you...come near and let me...let me see?" the soldier said intermittently.

Qin Ke'er fixed the needle, put the tape on it, then moved her body, getting closer to the soldier.But at this moment, a salty pig's hand suddenly touched her upturned buttocks, and she let out a scream, and took a step back with a blushing face.

"Ha...haha..." The seriously injured soldier wriggled his pale lips and laughed intermittently.

"Bad guy~" Qin Ke'er snorted softly, and was about to turn around and leave.Seeing this, the soldier hastily stretched out his hand, pleading repeatedly: "Wait...please wait...wait..."

"What's wrong? Bad thing..." She scolded, but couldn't bear to leave.

"Yes... I'm sorry... I... I haven't... haven't... touched... women... women..." The soldier showed a shy expression, and said out of breath, "I... ...I...I may...live...not live..."

"No...you'll be fine..." Qin Ke'er knelt down, clasped the soldier's hand tightly with both hands, and comforted her softly.

"Don't...don't lie to me...I...I know...or...maybe...I'm selfish...please...stay with me...just one minute...just one minute...ok...okay? "While speaking, his body twitched involuntarily.

"Okay." Qin Ke'er nodded vigorously.

"My...my dream...is...just...ah...don't turn off the light...don't turn off the light...I can't see you...don't..." As he spoke, the soldier suddenly struggled in panic When he got up, in an instant, his wound began to burst, and sticky dirty blood splashed everywhere.

"Don't be afraid! I'm here, and Ke'er is here..." Qin Ke'er shouted, rushing forward to hug him tightly, tears welling up uncontrollably.

"Cold... so cold... so cold..." At the last moment, he had a trace of peace, as if he had fallen asleep forever.

Not long after, Qin Ke'er let go of the gradually icy corpse, took a piece of clean cotton gauze, wiped away tears, then picked up another hanging bottle, and walked towards the next seriously injured person...

Three hours later, when it was 6:25 a.m. Silver City time and [-]:[-] a.m. Seth time, a white light appeared in the sky, as if it would be dawn soon.

"What's going on? Why haven't they attacked yet?" Captain Nick came to the northwest wall, pointed at the unusually quiet insect swarm in the distance, and asked Sacha, the fortress commander.

"Could it be..." Tie Slag crossed his hands in front of his chest, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Are they waiting for the dawn?"

"The action of the ant queen swarm does not require light. They usually live underground, and fighting at night is more beneficial to them, unless..." Captain Nick mused.

"Unless what?" the porcupine beside him asked gruffly.

"Queen bee swarm..." Captain Nick said with some hesitation.

In an instant, this sentence was like a blockbuster dropped by the calm lake, and everyone was stunned.

"No way..." After a moment of silence, Bai Xiaoyun said blankly.

"The possibility is very low. In a war of this scale, the queens will not cooperate." Jerome analyzed.In bee-ant swarms, the queen swarm is the ground combat unit and the queen swarm is the air combat unit.

The general insects of the queen ant colony are masters, the worker insects are crypt worker ants, the soldier insects are crickets and thorn insects, and the war insects are thunder beasts;
The general insect of the queen bee swarm is the master, the worker insects are the crypt worker bees, the soldier insects are the flying flies and stinging bees, and the war insects are the scorpion.

In comparison, the former tends to be brute force and thick carapace, while the latter tends to be flexible in flight and thin carapace.

However, in the social structure of the bee-ant colony, the queens are relatively independent individuals, and there are fierce competition and conflicts in territorial competition.As a result, they seldom cooperate with each other, except in a very large-scale all-out war.However, judging from the current situation, the scale of this war is not large.

"No, there is another possibility..." Wang Hu looked around the crowd and said slowly, "Queen."

The moment these two words were blurted out, everyone involuntarily took a deep breath.Wang Hu's guess is to rise from one dangerous possibility to another more dangerous possibility.

In the colony of bees and ants, there are three types of queens: the queen bee, the queen ant, and the queen.

Queens are different from the other two queens, they are transformed from humans, Eltas, or other intelligent creatures in the multiverse after the combination of strong females and masters.Even the lowest-level queen of the abyss possesses strength no less than that of a human holy rank.Not only that, but they also have good communication skills of intelligent creatures.Although it is difficult for queens to cooperate with queens, it is a different matter between queens, especially those queens transformed from strong human females.

They are usually cunning, bloodthirsty, changeable, and ruthless.
