Chapter 131: Zerg Iron Armor
Nanhai City Earth Defense Force Headquarters.
"Commander, the insect tide has begun to attack the Sifang City Gate of Nanhai City at the same time, and an energy ball launched by a spirit species has evaded interception and fallen into the people's living area."
A staff officer with the rank of brigadier general reported the report just now to the commander of the Nanhai City Military Defense Command, Fang Tong.
Although it was late at night, the Zerg had already begun to launch a full-scale attack on Nanhai City, and at this critical moment of great tension, as the commander-in-chief of Nanhai City's military defense, Fang Tong naturally didn't have the heart to sleep, but sat in the military headquarters, so that he could get the latest news at any time and respond in time.
"Are there many casualties?"
Fang Tong tilted his head slightly, frowned and glanced at the staff officer who reported it, and asked in a deep voice.
"A residential building was hit by an energy ball, and the top 20 floors were instantly destroyed by the explosion of the energy ball, killing hundreds of people living in it, and now the police are cooperating with the hospital to carry out rescue."
The staff officer reported truthfully.
Hearing this, Fang Tong's face suddenly became a little gloomy, but he did not get angry, nor did he accuse the defending army of poor defense.
Because he knows that once a war of this magnitude begins, casualties are inevitable.
Not only the casualties of the army, but also the casualties of ordinary people!
"How's the war going at the gates?"
Fang Tong asked again in a deep voice.
"According to the latest report from the defenders of the four-sided city gate, this time the Zerg poured out their nests, and rare insects and high-level Zerg also dispatched, mixed in the insect tide army, and launched an attack on my Nanhai City."
A soldier in charge of communications came running to report.
"It's all dispatched, it seems that this time, the Zerg is not a temptation, but a real move!"
Fang Tong took a deep breath and slowly got up, and suddenly, a suppressed terrifying momentum, like a volcano awakening, erupted violently.
"Inform the Seventh Legion to be ready for support at any time!"
……
In the wilderness on the outskirts of Nanhai City, the Zerg spirit species that grew like meat balls were scattered, and although their number was far less than that of ordinary Zerg, there were more than 100,000 of them.
They didn't charge in front like the other Zerg, because as a long-range turret for the Zerg, they only needed to hide in the distance and launch long-range strikes.
I saw that in the three cannon barrels on the backs of these spiritual species, black light was constantly spewing, and black light clusters of different sizes rose into the air, some intercepted the cannonballs that fell towards the insect tide, and some aimed at the city and blasted over.
The war became fierce in an instant, and it entered a white-hot stage in the blink of an eye.
……
The southern gate is the battlefield between the Ninth Legion and the Zerg.
The temporary headquarters of the Ninth Army at the head of the city was erected inside the city wall, and it was built by hollowing out a piece of wall.
At this time, Qiu Ming, the commander of the Ninth Army, and most of his officers gathered here.
Most of these officers, whose military ranks are above the brigadier general level, are not weak in ability.
In fact, more than ninety percent of the officers above the bridal general level of the Earth Defense Force are capable. If you are not capable, no matter how good you are in other aspects, it will be difficult for you to get into a high position in the military.
Because, this is the turbulent era of the Zerg, and only those with strong abilities can defeat those powerful Zerg and become the commander of an army.
Otherwise, if no one can stop a powerful Zerg, it can easily cause a legion to suffer heavy casualties, and it is possible to destroy them all!
Because whether it is the Zerg or the ability, when the combat power reaches a certain height, it is an existence that cannot be dealt with by scientific and technological weapons.
The supreme power of the Earth Defense Force, the five generals, why can they sit firmly on this throne with the highest power?
It is precisely because they are all ninth-level capable people, and they are the highest combat power comparable to the ninth-order insect king!
It is precisely because they have blocked the insect king of the Zerg with their terrifying and unparalleled combat power, otherwise, the human race would have been reduced to ashes under the endless army of insects!
And not just the Ninth Legion.
In addition, the three legions guarding the city gate and the senior generals in the legion were also led by the legion commander to leave the legion headquarters and sit at the head of the city.
This is because they have to be on guard against those high-level zergs at all times.
If those high-level zergs appeared, they would be able to resist in time if they were present.
Otherwise, if an eighth-order zerg was allowed to rush to the city, what terrible consequences would it cause?
That's unimaginable......
In the temporary headquarters of the Ninth Army Corps at the head of the city, dozens of officers in military uniforms sat on both sides of the conference table, their eyes staring intently at the screen at the front of the conference table.
The picture that was playing on the screen was the battle outside the city.
I saw that the dense Zerg was surging like a tide, and suddenly, the camera flashed, and a Zerg standing out from the crowd suddenly appeared in the screen screen.
The Zerg, roughly the size of an upright black bear, had six extremely long arms, a tail, and a row of sharp bone spurs that spread from the back of the head and through the back to the tip of the tail.
Its eyes were bright red as blood, and its mouth was full of criss-crossed sharp teeth, which were stained with blood and glittered with cold light.
Anyone who knows this kind of Zerg knows that this sharp tooth is one of the powerful weapons of this Zerg, and with all his strength, hard rocks can be crushed in one bite.
Compared with the blue-black body of ordinary Zerg, the bone layer on the body of this unique Zerg is also pure black without a trace of variegation.
That deep feeling is like a cold iron that has been tempered a thousand times, and it makes people feel that their defense is amazing.
This Zerg mixed in the insect tide, followed the large army, and attacked in the direction of the south city gate.
Suddenly, a cannonball fell on it in the air, and it was about to explode.
With the power of this cannonball, once it explodes, let alone this Zerg, the Zerg within ten meters of the vicinity will not survive.
But seeing that the cannonball was about to explode, this unique Zerg suddenly opened its mouth and roared, and then the bone spurs on its back emitted a black aura that spread around.
The aura spread a distance of several tens of meters, penetrating the bodies of all the zergs in this range.
Then, at the same time, the original blue-black bone layer on those zergs suddenly turned into a deep pitch-black, as if their defensive power had increased by several notches at once.
With a bang, the shell exploded.
However, none of the Zerg who should have been killed by the shells died...... All the good ones continued to rush under the walls of the south city gate.
In the temporary headquarters at the head of the city, seeing this scene through the screen, the faces of these officers of the Ninth Army couldn't help but look ugly.
"Now that the Zerg ironclad species has appeared, it is difficult to kill the Zerg who have been ironclad with ordinary cannonballs."
An officer said with a frown.
The Zerg Iron Bell, the most defensive insect species in the Zerg.
This insect species not only has amazing defense power, but also emits special energy, making the surrounding similar iron armor, improving its defense ability, and greatly weakening the threat caused by artillery shells to the Zerg in war.
