Chapter 7: Fire Guard

The army of the insects marched through the jungle, and the bad premonition in the hunter's heart grew stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out at the back of the group, and as many as fifty alien creatures burst out of the fallen leaves next to them and launched a surprise attack on the commander.

The insects didn't have time to defend for a while, and more than a dozen insects were thrown to the ground, bitten by the alien creatures.

"Enemy attack!" The commander pierced the body of the soldier insect with the javelin in his hand, and cut off its head with a single sword.

"Kill that guy!" Taryn had been keeping an eye on the suspected commander, and he quickly mobilized several soldiers and insects to besiege the commander. He had to kill the guy before they could react, or they wouldn't have a chance by the time they did. Tyron had put in twenty more Soldier Bugs for this.

The surprise attack of the Soldier Bugs did cause some damage to the Bugmen, but after the Bugs reacted, they quickly launched a counterattack.

The vitality and endurance of insect people are much stronger than those of humans, and even if their arms are cut off, they can still continue to fight without changing their faces, although there is no such thing as expression on the other party's face.

Soon, the soldiers and insects were wiped out under the siege of the insects, but the insects also paid more than 20 lives.

Tylen could already roughly estimate the opponent's combat strength, and most of the losses caused by the Zerg to the Zerg were caused by the first wave of the raid, and after that, the battle situation was almost one-sided.

Although there is a quantitative factor, it is essentially because the combat effectiveness is relatively weak.

The main objective has been accomplished, but the secondary objective is ...... Look at the insect man who was surrounded in the center with only one arm left, one tentacle gone, and his body was covered with scars. Taryn sighed inwardly, almost killing this guy.

Taryn didn't expect this guy to be so good at fighting, and he killed twelve of the sixteen soldiers and insects besieging him, and finally survived until he was saved by the other insects.

However, these insects had no intention of stopping at all, and continued to move in this direction.

"Cut, didn't you retreat?" Taryn left only a few Worker Worms and continued to follow the Worm Army as an eye, bringing back the other Worker Worms.

These insects are very strong in combat, and their four arms are quite flexible, which means that their nervous system is more developed enough to support their flexible movement in controlling two more arms.

"Trouble......" Tyron looked at the army of the wormmen, if the loss gap could be a little smaller, he might have fought and wiped out this army here.

So, settle for the next best thing and find a way to make them retreat.

More than ten kilometers ahead of the Zerg's army was the Zerg's pasture, and Tylen couldn't let this place be taken away.

As far as Taryn can remember, he has never seen any other intelligent race, and it is almost certain that this area is not the territory of the Zerg, and the army of a race leaving their territory must be with the intention of war or the opening of the wasteland, either way, when they find a herd of herbivores that are grazing in large numbers and can be used as food for almost all predators...... Wouldn't it be nice to reduce the pressure on the army's logistical supply?

As for Tyron's swarm? What do you think humans would have thought when they saw a herd of sheep grazed by wolves on their march in ancient times? Of course: I want all .jgp

In short, no matter what, let's get rid of this group first, grazing is one of the main sources of food for the Tyranid swarm, and they must not be allowed to destroy it.

But how do you keep them out of the way? Taryn began to think about how to make the opponent retreat with minimal losses.

Although the nearby soldier insects are on the way to be transferred, they will not be able to catch up for a while, and the temporary hatching of the pupae kept in the nest here cannot replenish too many troops.

So...... Flame is the most powerful force.

He ordered the insects to turn up the soil at the junction of the pasture and the woods to form a firebreak, and at the same time, he ordered the insects to collect the dry leaves and wood and grease them.

Take the flint and flint collected from the previous idle boredom and let the worker insect hold it, and then try to get the worker insect to light the pile of firewood.

The worker's pair of forelimbs had been modified many times by Tyron and was finally able to grasp something, so it was still easy to use flint.

It's not that easy to start a fire like this, but Taryn still has time.

The insects in the woods became more cautious because of the Zerg's raid, scrutinizing everything around them, which caused them to move more slowly, but Tyran's workers were killed immediately......

Although I can't see the situation of those worms now, the other party can't get here so quickly. That's enough time for the worker bugs to set the leaves on fire and for Taryn to set fire to the mountain.

"Set fire to the mountain, and sit in the prison." Taryn looked at the fire that had taken a long time to finally ignite, "But now there is no police uncle to arrest me." ”

In order to see what was going on, Tyron sent a few soldiers and insects who moved faster to observe the situation, and then prepared to set fire to the forest to keep the insects at bay.

"You have to control the fire and prevent it from getting too big." Destroying the woods would be no good for Tyranid, but would cause this side to lose its shelter, and the shade would be reduced...... For the Zerg who do not have the means of long-range attack, rushing in front of the enemy with the means of long-range attack is completely risking their lives to cross this distance. If Tyrann's Zerg were like in a science fiction movie, he wouldn't mind taking his life, but unfortunately not.

Then you can only find a way to put the geographical advantage on your side.

I don't know how far the soldiers and insects ran inside, but Tylen felt that this distance was a little far, and the soldiers and insects rested twice. Then, after the soldiers saw the insects, the moment the insects found the insects, dozens of javelins flew and stabbed the insects into a hornet's nest......

The vigilance of the other party is really terrifying. Thinking so, Taryn ordered the workers around him to grab the flaming torches and set the dry trees on fire like FFF groups burning couples.

The fire began to grow gradually. Taryn looked at the burning trees and transferred all the agricultural insects that could be brought in nearby, ready to put out the fire.

While the fire was not too big, Tyron sent ten soldiers through the flames again to investigate the situation of the insects, as long as they confirmed that the other party had escaped, and if possible, it was best to find the territory of the insects, so that they could also know something.

"The combat power of the Zerg ...... ......"Rat people, insect people, there are already two intelligent races, so will there be other more powerful intelligent races?" Taryn felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
