Chapter 13: The Zermen Civil War

The wounded Zerg soldiers leaned against the edge of the city wall, and some of the Zermen shuttled among them, giving simple treatment to the wounded.

The Hunter looked at the little flying insect lying on the wall in front of him with his remaining eye, and he uttered an incomprehensible language: "Why did you get to this point......

After he escaped from the jungle a few years ago, relations between the various city-states of the Zerg seemed to become increasingly strained. After the death of the previous old Bug King, a riot broke out in the city-state originally established by the Worm People, Golga City, and the supreme commander tried to take the position of the Worm King, leading his army to capture the Bug King's capital Golga City, killing the descendants of the Worm King, and declaring himself the new Worm King.

This was rightfully opposed by the insects. But it was useless, the supreme commander had the most troops in his hands, including the most elite troops of the Zergs, in the hands of the supreme commander.

Now, the army of the Supreme Commander has arrived at the city, ready to take the city.

But under his leadership, they managed to repel the forces of the Supreme Commander. But this is also only temporary.

Looking at the dense tents in the distance, the Hunter didn't know how long the city would last. The defenders of this city were more than a thousand dead, and the opposing army's army ...... Five thousand.

Although it is easier to defend a city than to siege it, the opponent has siege equipment and ...... They actually took out the shields that only rats would use. Blocking the dense rain of arrows rushing over, the hunting king finally knocked these troops back, but they were still wounded one by one.

The Hunter himself was not injured, his other eye was destroyed in the operation to clean up the nezumi, although the worm man can regenerate limbs, but the damage to the eye is irreparable.

He was the only one left to survive that battle, and he had only one arm left at the time, and his body was covered in scars, and it was a miracle that he could sustain himself back here.

After telling the insects about their encounter in the jungle, the insects strengthened their garrison to prevent the beasts from counterattacking. At the same time, he killed more than a dozen soldier insects with only one person left, and was regarded as the hero of the insect people. Adored by the Zerg.

"Once upon a time, we were united in the fight against the nezumi. But now they are raising their blades to kill each other...... Why exactly? "The King Hunter seems to be asking himself, as if he is asking the insects under the city who once fought side by side but now turn against each other.

The little flying insect seemed to be frightened by the sound of the hunting king, and spread its wings and flew away.

"Lord, they are obviously the same kind, why are they killing each other?" In the network of biters, Fast asked.

"Because they don't have any enemies but themselves, at least for now." "When the enemy that threatens one's very existence disappears, or has lost its threat, then the same kind is the greatest enemy. ”

"I can't understand why the same kind is the enemy. We are under your will and do not make enemies of each other. "Sekkende plugged into the channel.

"Agreed, incomprehensible." Fast said.

"It's normal that you can't understand." "We are a tightly connected whole, and they are individuals brought together by the pressures of survival. We are like clay, and they are like grains of sand. We don't need external forces to come together, but once they lose the external pressure that sustains them together, they quickly collapse and fight on their own. ”

"That is, they are more ...... than us," said Fast, who did not know what words to use, and thought for a long time before saying, "Worse." ”

"Not necessarily." "Watch the war between them, and think about how to win where they are the losers." Learn from the good parts of them and learn from their failures. Absorb all the knowledge available to you and remember, knowledge is power. ”

"Yes, Juggernaut."

Once again, the Zermen from outside the city are attacking the city, and they are planning to attack the city again.

The Hunter looked at the black phalanx slowly approaching below, the tentacles on his head lowered slightly, and then let out a piercing scream: "All attention, hold on to your weapons!" These traitors must not be allowed to storm the city! ”

The black torrent rushed towards the city wall, and the insects on the city wall clenched their weapons and stared down deadly.

As the worms rushed within range of the archers, the Lord Hunter raised one of his arms.

After waiting for the worm people below to get closer, the hunter waved his arm fiercely: "Release the arrow!" ”

Arrows rained down in an instant, but the damage caused by bows and arrows was actually not large, and the carapace of the insects and their vitality themselves were relatively tenacious, even if there were several arrows stuck in their bodies, they would not die so easily.

But in the end, there were some casualties, which was better than nothing, and there were only so many troops on the walls that there were at least a continuous output of bows and arrows.

The insects below rushed under the city walls, and unlike the humans, they needed ladders like humans, and they were strong enough to dig holes in the walls to make them climb up, even if the ladder was full of insects, a slightly stronger insect man could knock the ladder down. So it's better to dig a pit directly on the city wall and climb up, after all, the city wall is muddy, and a small pit can still be dug on the surface with a little force.

The first worm climbed the wall, and then it was pierced with spears by the worms who had been prepared on the wall, and the corpse fell backwards.

But then, the second, the third, the fourth...... Countless worms climbed the city walls......

Looking at the insects fighting below, the scout lowered his height a bit.

The shells of the bugs were all black and looked exactly the same, and Taryn could only determine which side they belonged to by the direction they were facing. This is very troublesome, and in the event of a scuffle, Tyrann can't even see where the Lord is, they don't wear armor at all, and they can't tell who the leader is from their clothing.

But they should know who is who. Maybe it's through pheromones or something.

"The siege means are too simple, and the defense means are too simple. I guess I didn't encounter any setbacks. Taryn commented. Compared to humans, all kinds of catapults, giant crossbows, fire oil, rolling wood and stones. In contrast, the insect people are a little too simple, climbing the city wall is dry, and the weapons to defend the city mainly rely on bows and arrows and troops to resist head-on.

"But...... Maybe there is something that can be done. Thinking like this, Taryn had an idea in his heart, if implemented, the Zerg would probably not affect the development of the Zerg for a long time.
