Chapter 1422: Conflict on the Ground
In the face of that YIN Weihuho cosmic hegemonic figure, being able to unite to resist foreign aggression in the absence of Tang Fang or Tang Fang's relied on members is naturally a big step forward to some extent.
This is the performance of several leaders of the alien insect race that Tang Fang has stocked on the planet Akron, for those native creatures who have no organization, or a small group of native creatures whose living space has been compressed, they have fled into suitable hiding places after the initial confusion in the face of the bloody slaughter that suddenly unfolded in the sky, waiting for the outcome of this battle. Only the mighty Lone Rangers, such as the large sea creatures that appear in the straits of the two continents, will happily swallow the remains of the insects falling from the sky into their mouths and feast on them.
From the Queen of Blades influencing the comet's trajectory with the Paradise Star, laying her eyes and ears on the El Star Star, to instructing Izsha and Zagara to lead the Leviathan swarm to attack the Star Alliance fleet, and attracting Tang Fang to drive the Dreadnought Commander-class fortress ship to the Phoenix Empire, only then did she reveal her sharp minions and launch an attack on Akron, she made full preparations in advance.
Unfortunately, she expected Tang Fang's reaction and calculated exactly what Nehemiah would choose, but she didn't expect that the alien insect race living in the Akron Star Mushroom Blanket Continent would be greatly improved in combat effectiveness and survivability compared to the native alien insect race of Zerus. This kind of improvement has made the Insect Units on the battlefield of Akron a bit confusing, which is reflected in the fact that as time goes on, the Insect Units from the Mushroom Blanket Continent have become more and more stamina, and the Insect Units from Paradise Star seem to be tired of dealing with the enemy's various new skills.
The opponent who originally knew everything suddenly seemed to be open, and anyone would feel uncomfortable...... The same goes for Queen of Blades.
In response to the current situation, the Insect Legion from Paradise Star subconsciously accelerated the airdrop process in order to extend the battlefield to the four fungus blanket continents and the central island. Because in this way, an all-round offensive can be formed, and the support of the ground insects on the Akron star will be weakened to the greatest extent possible against the sky insects.
You must know that the battlefield environment of the Akron Star atmosphere can be said to be the home of the alien insect cluster under the Tang side, and in the face of the flying alien insects that are constantly rising into the air in the jungle, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for the attacker.
Numerous Corruptors and Devourers rush to the front lines, killing large numbers of enemy Mosquitoes at the cost of their own lives, creating a short-term safe corridor between the battlefield and the ground. The airdrop bag took this opportunity to land on the various fungus blanket continents and forcibly launched a ground offensive.
With the crack of the airdrop sac, a large number of jumping insects rushed towards the stinging snake area with a piercing hiss, followed by a line of wriggling cockroach squads.
Deeper down, the king worm pertains at the height of the snowy canopy, carrying the attacks of nearby native creatures, unloading the polluter and the swarm host to the surface.
A thunderous roar could be heard in the distance, it was the thunderbeast from Paradise Star wielding a huge bone blade and colliding with the Tyrannosaurus under the command of Dehaka, and the shriveled fungus blanket raised by the battle of the two sides flew into the sky, and one white forest tree after another broke under brute force, startling away a group of native glider creatures.
Some of the silkworm chrysalis creatures that resemble monkeys and glide nimbly over the branches of snow trees with their tail tentacles seem to be enraged by the thunderbeast's actions, and begin to attack the large creatures that are messing around under the trees with their most lethal things.
The snow-white chrysalis contracted inward along the texture of the epidermis, then expanded outward, and under the sudden release of the pressure difference, streams of green water arrows hit the thunderbeast's eyes with great precision, followed by an even deeper muffled roar.
The behemoth under the tree seemed to lose its sense of direction, unable to find the enemy's location, and began to stumble around the surrounding area, smashing through many of the rigid fungus blanket tumors and knocking several tall white shirts crooked.
If you look closely, you will find that the fierce eyes containing infinite killing intent have lost their former brightness, like butter melting in high temperatures, leaving behind two lines of light green liquid. There is no doubt that this is a painful encounter, which has almost caused the highest level of combat power of the Alien Race to lose control and turn into a mad walking corpse.
It wasn't the order from the king worm that stopped the thunderbeast from going crazy, it was the attack from the tyrannosaurus.
Taking advantage of the thunderbeast's blindness, the tyrannosaurus approached its prey in relatively slow motion, completing the switch from static to dynamic in a very short time, and pounced on the thunderbeast's back like a tiger sneaking up on a passing bison, twisting the sharp horns that curved backwards along the edge of the skull with its two claws, and the bone spurs on its head sank deep into the back of the thunderbeast's neck.
Blood poured out like a whale fountain, smearing the Tyrannosaurus with a cut along the sharp corners.
The attack sliced through the Thunderbeast's nervous system, causing the nearly 30-meter-long beast to lose control and fall to the ground with a thud, crushing a dwarf, snow-colored plant nearby.
The Tyrannosaurus pulled out the horn that was inserted into the thunder beast's body, bringing a waterfall of blood with it, adding a touch of color to the somewhat monotonous snow-white bushes next to it.
The tribe of Dehaka has only recently taken root in this continent, and has not yet evolved their own skills. Even so, the Thunderbeast under the command of the Queen of Blades is no match for the Tyrannosaurus.
Of course, under normal circumstances, the two sides would have to fight fiercely for a while before the winner was decided, and it was impossible for the Tyrannosaurus to kill the Thunderbeast unscathed, but the presence of native creatures made the event come true, and the precise spray of the chrysalis became the finishing touch that the Tyrannosaurus could win.
This is just a microcosm of the myriad regional battlefields. It was really an unexpected thing for ordinary people that the native creatures that were originally opposed to the alien insect units led by the leaders of the Daggs, Jager Claw and other groups actually turned their guns to fight with the natural enemies after the insect swarm of the Queen of Blades arrived on the Fungus Carpet Continent.
Thinking that similar situations continue to happen, the insects under the command of the Queen of Blades began to gather from the scattered state to form a group of ground advance troops, fighting in a group. In this way, the unorganized native creatures can no longer form an effective resistance, delaying the pace of their attacks.
When a large number of cockroaches and jumping insects approached Daggs's location, the edge of the mutant dryad's corpse rose and fell violently, and with the sudden eruption of fungus blanket fragments, a figure larger than the thunder beast appeared in front of the Blade Queen's alien insect line.
A black shadow fell from the sky and swept very close to the ground, and the white silk of the snow trees falling on the ground was blown into the sky...... Along with the ascension were dozens of jumping insects.
With a single blow, rows of jumping insects turned into crushed creature remains, and only then did the beast turn around and face the alien insects that were constantly attacking the hunter-killer's defenses.
In the absence of light, the snow tree emits a faint fluorescence that shines on the many bone spurs of the giant beast.
It wasn't the Thunderbeast under Daggs' command that flew the Hopper Vanguard, it was the Reckless Beast created by Abasser. It is like a general defending the city, while sweeping away dozens of jumping insects, two cockroaches are pierced and thrown high into the sky.
This is its announcement to the weak creatures in front of it, and it is also a proof of its own strength.
Alien insects have no fear, in the face of a behemoth like a reckless beast, the cockroach and jumping insect cluster only paused slightly and continued to act, forming two circles inside and out, launching a group attack on the giant in front.
The innermost is a jumping insect that is not afraid of death, stepping on the corpse of its companion in front of it and pounces on the body of the beast, constantly chiseling the heavy carapace, constantly gnawing on the mottled skin, and the cockroach behind keeps spitting green acid, accumulating into a green pond under the beast.
As time passed, large and small corrosive wounds began to appear on the surface of the beast's body, but this did not affect its combat effectiveness much, but instead contributed to its bloodlust and rage. The behemoth stirred up a storm of ground in pain, and the corpses of jumping insects and cockroaches gathered more and more around them, almost forming a semicircle. The ensuing stinging snakes couldn't even find a better angle to fire.
Only attacks from the sky can deal some real damage to the Darcoon, such as the sporangia fired by the Guardian. However, those guardians only occasionally avoided the pursuit of the native insect units, and found a gap to interfere with the actions of the reckless beast, but could not really threaten the life safety of the target.
As for the faster Allosaurus and Devourer...... Limited to a short attack range, it is not possible to attack beyond the range of the Hunter Killer. Some mosquitoes tried to strike the beast with precision in the form of high-altitude bombing, but before they could get close to the target area, they were shot by the spinal needle from the hunter killer, turning into a ball of living fireworks that bloomed like flowers.
On the continent of Slivan, not far from the continent of Dags, the core swamp of the plate also welcomed a group of invaders.
A large number of stinging snakes quickly advanced with the help of the polluters, and the native allosaurs in the sky and the native creatures in the vicinity were unable to rush into the black mist to meet the attacking enemies in the face of the rapidly expanding black bee cloud and the penetrating spine needles.
Interestingly, as time progressed, the black bee cloud moved slower and slower, and seemed to be stuck in a quagmire.
There are only spore clusters blindly shot out by the Native Guardian in the sky, and it stands to reason that they can't hold back the insect combat units hidden in the black bee cloud.
Dense and flourishing snow trees grow near the swamp, obscuring the movement of the black bee cloud on the ground.
Without the lush vegetation, you would see a large number of burrowers and flying locusts spreading outward from the edge of the swamp, creating a three-dimensional insect tide that almost submerges the entire area.
The black bee clouds created by the polluters pale in comparison to the dense ground digging insects. Just as the Native Allosaurus and Native Guardian couldn't catch the invading Allosaurus in the black bee cloud, the jumping insects and stinging snakes couldn't pose much of a threat to the tide of transit insects under their feet.
Those digging insects are not large, only equivalent to the soles of human feet, facing them with the size of jumping insects and stinging snakes, whether they are claws, teeth or spinal needles, they have the feeling of cannons hitting mosquitoes.
However, these Diggers are different from the Diggers bred by the host of the Swarm in Battle mode, but are a miniature version of the Diggers bred in the Heart of the Swarm campaign, which can also be seen as MINI Poison Blasters, which will explode under the target's feet, throwing dense acid to burn the enemy's body.
For lightly armored units such as jumping insects and stinging snakes, the damage of venom rain cannot be ignored, and for heavy armored units such as cockroaches, one digging insect is not enough, so what about two, three, and a group?
Slifan and his heavy children are in the middle of the swamp, constantly releasing flying locusts into the sky with the ability to fight air targets. However, the Blade Queen's Alien Legion was trapped on the edge of the swamp, with no way to move forward, only to sigh.
Even if the king worm transported a big man like the thunder beast in the later stage, it still couldn't break the current embarrassing situation, those digging worms had a good bounce power, which could cling to the surface of the thunder beast's body, and then like a firecracker that ignited the fuse, it exploded one after another, blasting the heavy bone plates out of one deep pit after another.
If a full-scale explosion can't kill the target, then two, three times, and so on, even a Thunderbeast, a thick-skinned insect unit with strong vitality, has absolutely no chance of surviving.
In the continent of Jagerclaw, the sporangia falling from the sky burst on the ground, revealing a large number of infected insects, leaping worms, piercers, and lurkers.
These large, spider-like creatures crawl quickly on the ground with their dexterous feet, alternating into a lurking state and expanding their combat range outward. Infected worms and leaping worms followed, advancing as fast as they could.
When they moved safely for a while, and it was not far from the high ground where Yager's claws were, they finally received a sniper attack from the native insects. Native jumping insects and native cockroaches emerge from all over the vicinity and attack the incoming enemy.
The Leaping Worm is a very good maneuver against lone native insects, and the Impaler brings heavy damage to the army units under Jager's Claw. In response to the swarm of protozoa, the infected will spit out a large amount of mold to contaminate the target area, and at the same time, waves of ground nails of the lurkers will follow, dismembering the protozoa that have fallen into the mold's area of influence into large and small biological remains, nourishing the fungus blanket and plants.
Through the cooperation between the arms, the Insect Landing Force under the command of Queen of Blades finally gained an advantage in a core theater and was able to steadily advance to the lair of Jagerclaw.
It's a pity that this advantageous situation didn't last long, and the Alien Insect Army, which was in full swing, soon suffered a heavy blow...... It didn't come from the proximity of Jager's claws, it came from the intervention of underground forces.
The Lurkers and Impalators are the core force of this Worm force, which alternates forward-dive combat, causing heavy damage to any enemy forces from the ground, as well as sporadic Stinging Snakes and Infestations for occasional flying units. Unlike the Slifan Continent and the Dags Continent, there is a group of special weapons under the command of the Jager Claw, and they generally do not participate in the hunting of native creatures under the command of the clan leader, they will wander in the depths of the fungus blanket, looking for prey on their own...... Yes, they are ash worms.
The ash insects, which had been hunting native creatures deep enough to endanger the stability of the Fungus Blanket Continent, received the summons of Jager's claw and entered the ground battlefield, and it is conceivable what the Blade Queen's lurkers and piercers would end up with in the face of attacks that began below.
