Section 16 Temptation

A few minutes later, Nick Wagner, who was standing on the northeast wall, looked at Captain Sachio, who had just returned to the fortress, with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but recall the thrilling scene just now, and sighed secretly.

This young commander is obviously the kind of person who is bold and careful. In order to motivate the soldiers, they even risked their lives and rushed to the insect tide alone. Although the battle just now seemed to be thrilling and easy, in fact, as long as you make a small mistake, you will immediately be buried in the sea of insects and torn to pieces by the raging swarm. Moreover, it is not easy for him not only to control the locomotive, but also to fight, and to keep an eye on the movements of the stinging insects. After all, it is difficult for a person who is on the edge of the insect tide to see the situation on the battlefield as clearly as a person standing in the distance.

Captain Nick asked himself, if it were him, he probably wouldn't have the courage. Although he is a psyker and has the ability to fly for a short time, if he can't dodge a volley of stinging insects, or if he encounters the mental shock of the Crimson Lord, he may be finished.

Now it seems that Edward Thorthy is in the water of his brain when he goes against such a person.

However, Captain Nick only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. Iron Slag dares to act alone because he has the world's unique intelligent module, Alice, which can assist in analyzing the battle situation or helping to drive the locomotive.

A few minutes later, when the iron slag returned to the walls, the insect tide in the distance had completely dispersed, forming a huge encirclement within a kilometer radius of the fortress. After the swarm dispersed, the lava behemoth on top of the fortress stopped shelling. After all, shells are limited and cannot be wasted on scattered cries.

Iron slag picked up the telescope and observed for a while, but in the scattered swarm, there was no trace of "general worm" or "postworm". It seems that the commander of this insect tide is at least the Crimson Lord or the Abyssal Queen. According to the content of the college's textbook, among the bee ant swarm, the brainwave control range of the Crimson Juggernaut is about 3~5km, and the radius of the Gold Juggernaut is 5~8km, which is much larger than the radius control range of the Abyss Juggernaut of 1~3km. Among the queen insects, the queen ant has the largest control range, followed by the queen bee, and the queen is the smallest; Among them, the abyssal queen is 8~12km in radius, the crimson queen is 12~36km in radius, and the golden queen is 36~108km in radius.

In general, only the lowest-level Abyss Juggernaut can appear near the Insect Tide, while the others can stay away from the battlefield, at least without being exposed to human sight.

A moment later, in a low-lying area five thousand meters away from the fortress of Tyre, a huge silkworm was moving its fat body and burrowing into the semi-sandy soil. Looking at it, the big silkworm was covered in a crimson carapace. The segmented, ring-shaped carapace was smooth and reflected the luster of metal in the starlight.

The Crimson Juggernaut is named "Merna" and is one of the many generals of the Crimson Queen, Thrazel Bakare, Amber.

In a small war of this scale, the Crimson Queen would not have been present in person at all. She didn't pay attention to this little resource in the Tyre Fortress at all, she just wanted to hit the arrogance of the temple casually. What's more, if she takes action personally, the level of this war will expand indefinitely. So far, she has no idea of a large-scale war, so she has deliberately controlled the number of insect tides this time, so as not to overly strain the humans, and enough to bulldoze the fortress.

It didn't take long for Melna's massive body to sink into the soil, and she then launched a brain wave to direct the first wave of cripping flies into battle.

In an instant, thousands of frogs divided into hundreds of small detachments and launched a charge towards the fortress. I saw a group of cries like giant pythons winding forward on the sand, dragging the sand and dust from all directions, rushing to the steel city wall in the night. At this moment, the group of cries exudes a dotted green glow, revealing a seeping aura under the dim starlight, which makes people's scalps numb and shudder.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

At this moment, the artillery in the fortress roared in unison, and I saw a flash of fire in the night sky, and streamers pierced the sky, falling straight to the rushing swarm.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Suddenly there was a fire in front of him, and in the sound of violent explosions, sand and gravel flew sideways, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and stumps and broken arms flew in all directions......

After a moment of silence, the swarm of flies hissed like a sea of mountains, rushed through the smoke that filled the battlefield, and rushed towards the towering city walls.

In an instant, the swarm of Leapflies rushed to the vicinity of the fortress under five rounds of thunderbolt shelling, and then covered the self-detonating Flyflies in the swarm and pounced on the steel wall.

"Prepare for battle." Iron Slag stood on the edge of the wall, watching the swarm of insects rushing below, and then whispered into the walkie-talkie.

The soldiers scrambled their assault rifles, pulled their safety bolts, and aimed at the approaching swarm.

"Shoot!"

Just as the swarm of insects poured into range, with the order of iron slag, gunfire erupted on the city wall, and hundreds of assault rifles spewed tongues of fire, instantly lighting up the night sky. At the same time, the Vulcan cannon on the firing platform turned at high speed, making a subtle "snort" sound.

......"Dada

In an instant, dense bullets grazed the air and poured out, and countless yellow, orange and orange bullet casings bounced to the ground with a "bang, la, la, la, ......". The cries that rushed to the foot of the city wall were suddenly beaten to pieces, and the insect shells were broken and scattered.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Iron Slag pulled out the Revolver of Merlin and blasted towards the swarm below, and seven or eight cries exploded.

At this moment, a crying frog covered in poison sacs and emitting a green glow rushed through the rain of bullets and bullets, slamming headlong into the steel wall.

Hear "Po! With a soft thud, the self-detonating swerp burst through the city walls. In an instant, the thick acid splattered everywhere, white smoke rose everywhere it went, and the pungent smell quickly drifted away. At this time, I saw that the steel wall was melting at a speed visible to the naked eye under the attack of thick acid.

Seeing this scene, Iron Slag's eyes widened suddenly, maybe a few more self-detonating cries collided in the same position, and this seemingly solid city wall was about to be burned out of a big hole. He hurriedly yelled into the walkie-talkie: "Attention everyone! Attention all! Prioritize shooting self-detonating cries! ”

"Yes, sir!" "Good!" "Yes." Suddenly, the sound of response, mixed with gunfire, echoed over the city walls......

And at the moment when the iron slag yelled at the walkie-talkie, a crushing scorpion shrugged its head, rushed to the foot of the city wall in the blink of an eye, and then leaned over and kicked it. The strong hind legs picked up large chunks of dirt, volleyed into the air, slammed down on the city wall, and hooked the metal wall with sharp claws, scratching white scratches one after another, and went up with the trend. At the moment of climbing the city wall, he kicked hard, opened his bloody mouth, and flew towards the human in front of him.

In the face of the sudden change, the iron slag's pupils shrank, leaned over and lowered his head, grasped the hilt of the sword, and spun up while drawing the sword out of the sheath, and swept the sword over!

With a soft sound, the oncoming cry suddenly stagnated, the insect body staggered from it, and the viscous green blood suddenly spurted out, and finally the volley broke into two pieces and quietly slid down the city wall.

Iron Slag put his sword back into its sheath and walked to the edge of the wall, keeping an eye on the battle below.

By this time, a small number of cries had already climbed the walls, and although they were not many in number, they were very tricky for most soldiers. In order to avoid accidentally injuring allies, they cannot use thermal weapons, but can only draw daggers or strap on bayonets to engage them in hand-to-hand combat. The Cry Fly was originally a bee ant colony born for close combat, with sharp claws, a sensitive body and an extremely strong bite. For a time, there was chaos on the city wall. The soldiers fought with the frogs who climbed the city wall, and suddenly their flesh and blood flew and wailed.

Seeing this, Wang Hu hurriedly called the traditional evolutionaries such as porcupine, matchstick, Tuoba San, Marcus, and Jerome to form a melee team to kill the cries that climbed the city wall.

With the six men charged, the situation on the walls improved, and the soldiers were able to concentrate on shooting the swarm below.

A moment later, the first wave of insects left behind corpses everywhere, which gradually faded.

Looking at the swarm of flies like a low tide, the iron slag exhaled heavily. According to the textbook, the first wave of bee ant colonies is usually a tentative attack with the aim of testing human firepower. And the next wave of insects is the real beginning.

However, once the swarm is in full attack, there will be no retreat, they will become more frantic and persistent. Because if they can't take the fortress, the losses will be very heavy. The reason why bee ant colonies are not afraid of casualties is that those dead insect corpses will be recycled by them and turned into nutrients for larvae, and human corpses will also become one of their many nutrients. Therefore, as long as they can take the fortress, they will not cause much damage.

However, before the thunder beast and the stinging worm could go into battle, the iron slag felt a little struggling. Stingworms must be dealt with with artillery, otherwise once they are allowed to gain a foothold, a rain of spikes will fall. And the impact of the thunder beast is extremely strong, coupled with the cooperation of the self-detonating cry, it is estimated that it will not be long before the city wall will be breached. At that point, the fortress will have to retreat.

And the moment you retreat to the fortress, you are not far from the complete fall.

I don't know when the reinforcements will arrive, maybe there are no reinforcements at all, the news can't be passed on here, and by the time Eva Green realizes the change, they are already dead in the sea of worms.

Thinking of this, Iron Slag shook his head and threw the thought out of his mind. With or without reinforcements, he must fight to the end, because there is no way back. Looking around, the swarm surrounded the fortress in three layers and three layers outside, and it was estimated that not even a bird could fly out.

Then, Iron Slag cleaned up his mood, walked to the edge of the city wall, and spat out a mouthful of saliva at the corpse of the frog below.
