Chapter 28: The Return (2)
Phoenix was stunned by the scene in front of him, could it be that brain worms can't be killed? No, there is no immortal existence, there must be something that he has ignored, what is it exactly? However, it's too late to think about this now, the brain worms have resurrected and taken over the swarm, and the insects that bit each other just now began to attack them frantically, if they don't evacuate, the Star Spirit Commando is estimated to be wiped out.
"CEO, we have to retreat, my side can't stand it anymore, has your mission been completed?" Marsal's voice came
"In a word, help me open a gap, my warriors are about to return" Phoenix turned and walked away, without hesitation
"Stop them, kill them all," the voice of the Daggs brain worm resounded in the brains of each worm
"You don't need to do that, Daggs," the will of the Lord communicates with the Brain Worm, "You just need to command the swarm to follow them in a send-off pursuit, so that when they return to the fortress, you can take it down."
"Obey, your wisdom is incomparable, Master" Daggs knew that the Lord was already dissatisfied with him, this was different from the previous reincarnation, he had clearly known that the target was himself, but he was still victimized by a simple strategy, and it also took energy to resurrect the Master. And in order to deal with the possible death counterattack of the Star Spirit, the Juggernaut must be in top shape at all times.
Phoenix didn't find out about the Worm's plot, or rather, the most he wanted to do at this time was to bring his men back to the fortress safely and report the strange incident to the magistrate. However, the attacks of the insects are extremely clever, although the star spirit will take away the life of a piece of the insect every time it shuttles, but the saliva of the insect is still strongly corrosive, and the end of accidental contamination is that the armor and even the flesh and blood are corroded, and if you are not careful, you will be pounced on by the insect and bite to death.
The team of 100 Templars who had arrived was now reduced to less than half, but thankfully, they had finally escaped from the underground lair and made it to the surface, which meant that they would soon be able to join up with Marsal.
"Marsar, my men have withdrawn, pick us up" Phoenix called for help, "Marsal, can you hear me?" ”
"Your voice is crystal clear, CEO," Marsal's slightly anxious voice sounded in Phoenix's heart, "if you're any later, I'll have to leave you behind."
"Then I'm glad you didn't"
"Now, head south towards you, the samurai are already on your way, but you have to move quickly, the insects are not fools"
Phoenix looked south and saw a hint of confusion in the encirclement of the insects, "Follow me, warriors"
"Hey, there's a big guy up front of you, can you kill it?" The CEO knew what Marsal was referring to, the massive thunderbeast there like a wall blocking the convergence of the two teams, its massive fangs glinting coldly in the sunlight.
"Of course," he said, turning his head, "High Templar use Psionic Storm, set fire to it for me, zealots be careful not to be stepped on and bumped into by it"
"Yes, CEO"
A huge storm of psionic energy began to converge, striking the thunderbeast as it was about to rush at it, causing its body to spasm slightly and let out a roar of pain, and the fanatic swung the axe blade in his hand and left deep wounds around its body, and in less than five minutes, the furious thunderbeast had fallen.
"Hey, that's good," Marsal led the team to him, "how's that?" ”
"I did kill the brainworm, but," Phoenix was a little confused, "but there was a more powerful being that resurrected it before my eyes"
"This..." Marsal was taken aback, "You may be talking about the master of the insects, I really didn't expect it to be like this, could it be Tassadar him... He was a little hard to believe.
"No, I believe him, there must be something he didn't have time to explain, or we ignored... Phoenix was calm, "Now we must rush back to the fortress, otherwise judging by the attack of the insects, Aldaris will not be able to hold for long"
An hour later, they were able to return to the fortress after being pursued by the insects, but by this time the fortress was crumbling.
"What? How can it be? Are you serious? Aldaris couldn't believe this fact, "Is there a more absurd explanation than this?" Brain worms die in front of you, and then come back to life, can't they be killed? Or are you simply evading your responsibilities? The sheriff almost pointed to Phoenix's head and said he was lying.
Phoenix looked at the magistrate angrily, "I swear by my honor and loyalty to Kara that what I say is not a lie, you can punish me, but please don't insult the dignity of a Templar"
Aldaris said with a little regret, but he couldn't apologize to a Templar in his haughtyness, "Hmph, then, it must be something Tasadar is hiding?" He didn't realize that it was his prejudices that led to the chain of events, "It seems, he has fallen", he turned his head to look at Phoenix, "The province of Sein of the Empire has also been invaded by insects, damn it, there are bugs everywhere now, there is no room for error"
Phoenix's face was straight, "I'm willing to help"
"No, Chief," Aldares vetoed his suggestion, "Your mission is to guard this fortress, it's a barrier to Kushaka, and the province of Sain is a gathering area for the engineers of Calle, our Astral Spirit's research site, and there's a lot of Astral Spirit's technology in it, and your authority isn't enough", the magistrate smiled reservedly, "So, I'll lead the main force and leave you two brigades of Templars"
The CEO clenched his fists tightly and looked at the other party deeply, "I understand, I will protect this fortress"
"Very well, I hope I can see you again when I come back" Aldares turned, smiled contemptuously, and walked out.
Half an hour later, Phoenix took over the defense, and Aldares sped away from Antioch with the help of the ship's fire.
"CEO, we... Marsal looked at Phoenix worriedly
"Smack" Phoenix slapped the table, "Damn, when is this all over, where else can he escape?" "Yes, in their eyes, Aldares is treating them like outcasts, and in his eyes, they, the Templar commanders, are no longer trusted and not a worthy banner, so what could be better than destroying them with the help of the enemy's hands?
"This is the High Council, no wonder Tassadar 。。。。。"
"Don't say it, no matter what, we must hold this fortress, and behind us is our last home!" Phoenix said resolutely
"For El!"
