Although all the flying xenos that participated in the raid were eventually reduced to the wreckage of the desert, in fact, the defense line formed by the players and NPCs has also become stronger.

Despite its higher defense than the player's troops, the number of casualties in the mixed heavy infantry units left behind by Sarufar began to rise due to the lack of healing.

Strangely, instead of sending more reinforcements to hunt down the coalition forces that had already made a retreat, the xenomorphs let them clean up the ordinary bugs in front of the formation, and then slowly left the beetle wall in a broken formation.

It's like letting them go - but in the current situation, neither the coalition nor the players have the ability to investigate the hidden reasons for this.

"We now have two options."

After confirming that he had moved away from the xenomorph bugs, Lu De motioned for the entire team to pause and rest for a while, and used the blade of Thunder Fury to sketch out the general situation of Silisus in the desert.

"Because of the xenomorph insects, we can't equate them with ordinary beasts, and when the wall of beetles collapsed in the first place, I'm afraid that these creatures that had been dormant for thousands of years had already been relieved...... Judging by their mode of action, the general idea is to divide our forces, attack the rear and use the numerical superiority to gradually encroach. ”

Several circles were drawn around the Cenarion Fortress.

"Now, here, the troops of the three hives should be the main force of the southernmost interception coalition army, and the other two will first disable our logistics supply lines, leaving only a small amount of supplies to ......"

"And then we can turn it into sun-dried bacon here? That's not a good idea. Ludwig. ”

Kroyova is the only member who can show that she doesn't care.

"So, in this state, with the combat power of our people, what are you going to do to save the situation?"

“…… What an international joke! ”

knew that the other party was spoofing, but Lu De just felt quite unhappy.

"Not to mention us, even if we pull two or three more guilds, we will only be able to turn into food in the face of the all-out assault of the elite swarm! Don't forget that the xenomorphs have no other leaders except those who have witnessed the boss-level giant bugs, so who would be naïve enough to think that the xenomorphs could resist the alliance of dragons and night elves a thousand years ago with those three insects? In my opinion, at least in the first stage, the player's task ...... Only the auxiliary NPCs maintain the stability of the battle line. ”

"The safest and most common thing to do. We now continue our march towards the Cenarion Fortress. After catching up with the main force of the coalition, cooperate with the NPC legion to flank and resist the siege of xenomorphs - as long as the fortress does not fall, it should be said that we are safe. ”

"Where's this safe! Not yet, it's not about fighting those bugs! ”

Ye Jue's face turned pale for a while.

"What about the second one?"

"The second one...... Let's go straight to the back of the hive to take a look! ”

Lu De poked the Thunder Fury at Zola's hive with all his might.

"After all, bugs can't survive without eating anything, so let's go to their nest!"

————

The team eventually proceeded to the Cenarion Fortress along the route that the main coalition forces had previously withdrawn.

In this option. Izmi's colorful description of the inside of the hive plays a considerable role in hearing about the broken limbs. Wriggle. After a series of terms, such as intensive phobia, the whole team almost unanimously chose the safest approach.

"Oops. It's boring, I thought I could explore the wormhole...... The instinct of a pro gamer tells me that there's definitely something good out there! ”

The girl who is the culprit still looks like she has nothing to do with herself.

Let's not complain about this relationship, that is, rebirth and reversal of direction in the state that the destination is already close at hand, it seems that normal people will never choose this path......

"It looks like the xenomorphs are still moving a little slowly."

From where Lu De is now, although the xenomorphs have surrounded the Cenarion camp on three sides, the main part of the fortress has not been affected by the war.

(Yash Giant Beetle: Rank??) Boss/Unknown, Health 185.2w)

(Rego Giant Beetle: Rank??) Boss/Unknown, Health 185.2w)

(Zola Giant Beetle: Rank??) Boss/Unknown, Health 185.2w)

Among the insects besieging the fortress, the most striking thing was the three leaders of different colors, their huge bodies of twenty yards high, rushing back and forth in formation like heavy tanks, sweeping away the qiē that dared to approach.

If it weren't for the few small figures standing in front of these behemoths, perhaps the coalition army's formation would have been directly impacted and scattered.

"Where are you, brainless idiot?"

Sarufar's charge and interception alternated as if there was no cooldown, each time avoiding the giant beetle's arthropod before it hit his location, and then taking advantage of the bug's large size and inability to turn, he turned around and attacked the latter.

Of course, this "inability to turn" is only relative to the orc commanders.

Many low-ranking soldiers tried to assist Sarufar in containing the giant insects, but because they were unable to react, they were swept by the latter's arthropods and smashed far away on the sand dunes.

Compared with Sarufar, Duke Leorik's combat methods are much more "orthodox" - as a paladin, the latter naturally does not have as strong mobility as a warrior, but under the combination of a shield and a one-handed sword, the duke throws a flash of holy light at himself every once in a while, but he also fights with another giant worm.

Xiaoqiang, although it is not easy to kill people, it is not easy to die himself......

As for the only remaining giant worm, a beef barrier composed of a large number of Minotaur troops forcibly intercepted it on the perimeter of the defensive line, forcing it to be unable to use its physical mobility advantage, in order to support the two heroes to defeat their opponents and rush to help.

"Lianmeng warriors! This way! ”

As a galloping cavalryman galloped a few laps left and right in front of Lu De and them, the coalition formation, facing south, opened a passage about two people wide for them to advance in a calmer place where the battle was calmer.

"Wait."

Lu De stopped the herald.

"Find a way to show us the way. Let's go to the last giant beetle. ”

“…… Yes, sir! ”

After being stunned for half a second, the herald pointed at Lu De and saluted suddenly.

To be honest, due to the fact that he has not been active in Demacia for many years, someone has almost forgotten that he still has the rank of knight.

"Why are we going there, Lither?"

The Red Dragon Maiden raised her head from in front of Lu De and looked up at his forehead.

"Isn't it possible to defend here like we did just now?"

"Don't look at the Minotaurs as heavy infantry, what they are best at is assault rather than defense...... Those totem poles don't look like weapons for defense, do they? ”

Lu De pointed to the dozens of minotaurs who were trembling with the Zola giant beetle.

"Or that it's too big to let them defend, and it's a more advantageous choice to liberate their attack power!"

You must know that for NPC troops, except for some special units, the rest of them receive balanced or offensive-oriented training - even for small gnomes.

Naturally, the Minotaur hasn't jumped out of that circle yet - let them smash people with totem poles, but they have to forcibly use this thick and hard as a shield. Inevitably, there is a bit of a dilemma where there is no way to exert force.

"Wow. Really big......"

It was only when you stood around the giant beetle that you could truly realize how intimidating the creature was with its tree-thick arthropods and powerful mouthparts—even the shimmering chitin carapace on its body.

Slightly closer to the abdomen, dozens of arrows from the Night Elf archery troop were stuck in a small row of toothpicks. I don't see any real effect on the bugs.

"A monster of this size. Crush damage is bound to occur...... If possible, try not to resist with a shield! ”

Lu De admonished the upskirt at the same time. A death blow slammed into the giant beetle with a throbbing bolt of lightning, leaving a charred mark on the latter's appendages, and a hurricane erupted into the target's body. slows its movement.

Taunted by the Death Grasp and the Dark Edict in succession, the giant beetle, which had been attacking indiscriminately, quickly turned its target to an uninvited guest, swinging its scythe-like forefoot fiercely.

"-1150 (parry)"

"-1920 (Crushing)"

With just one sword, this huge creature almost folded Lu De's health in half.

Although the Death Knight's armor damage reduction is a little low...... But then again, this bug's forefoot is actually a double hit, which is a bit of a foul, right?

In the future, if there is a monster or something, wouldn't it be a quadruple attack?

"Hey! We're here to help, too! ”

With the shouts of some stupid, two figures in black armor slammed into the giant beetle's forelimbs, causing the latter's movements to falter slightly.

"Be careful not to be hit directly by this guy, otherwise it will basically be bloody skin!"

Lu De, who had already tried the power of the target, loudly reminded the two defenders of the Stabbing Alliance.

Of course, this is only for the defenders - if you are a magician, you will only be left with a mess of impurities that you can't tell what it is......

Maybe someone who has been hacked to death so many times can make an exception?

Just as Lu De once again borrowed the damage reduction of Thunder Fury to dodge the attack of the giant xenomorph insect, the target who was constantly being watched was obviously a little unhappy.

This time, the swollen belly of the Zora xenomorph rose high, and then the entire body of the insect jumped upwards to digital heights.

In terms of proportions, it can't be described as "high" at all, but when you consider the weight......

"Boom!"

When the giant beetle's arthropods collided with the ground, the powerful shockwave was not blocked by the soft desert at all, but instead surged along the ground in all directions, and all the affected players were thrown high behind them.

Just as some of them were about to say something quip to satisfy their weightlessness, they were surprised to find that their body's upward trend did not fall as quickly as a normal knockback skill, but continued to rise...... Rise......

Until their line of sight can completely cover the pattern on the back of the giant beetle.

"Pastor! Mage! Hurry up and down! ”

More than one similar exclamation rang out around the battlefield.

Wartrample-like abilities deal close to 2,000 damage to non-defensive class players, but this is not unacceptable.

The real frightening thing is the fall damage that will be encountered next.

You must know that the towering belly of the giant beetle is more than 20 yards from the ground - if you fall from this height, you will lose at least about 70% of your upper life, and the general health of players at this stage is only 4000-5000 points at most......

This means that if you don't have the ability to respond, most of the players who are knocked out of the air will be turned into corpses on the ground.

But casual and slow down is not an act worth promoting.

At the moment when he was just knocked away, a certain magician of the Stabbing Alliance quickly put a slow fall spell on his thief friend, but the result was ......

The thief who was blessed by the mystery danced and screamed, and then suddenly flew higher and higher in a lighter state, pulling out a brilliant arc and gradually disappearing into the sky.

Let's hope that guy can get to a safe place before the spell effect ends. (To be continued......)
