Chapter 18: Departure
Chapter 18: Departure
Char planet, local time, dawn breaking.
"So, what's your choice?" Kelly asked.
The Leviathan vanished, and the giant creature was inhabited in deep space, and no one knew where they were except Kelly Root. The swarm army has already flooded into the planet Char, and some of the xenosaurs are already fighting the Earth Federation's fleet in space, and Kelligan and Frank have come to the surface of Char.
"The only thing that can pose a threat to the swarm is the remnants of the Earth Federation's expeditionary force, and I believe that they will soon be defeated under your encirclement." Frank stared ahead. From time to time, the sky swept by the swarms of dragons, and a large number of insect swarms on the surface of the planet were rushing, all of which indicated that an earth-shattering battle was about to take place on this planet.
"Since I couldn't stop you, I should leave too, I still have private matters to settle." Frank whispered.
This sentence has already indicated his position, and Kellygen nodded thoughtfully, "Although it is a disappointing answer, I will not influence your choice, I know that you are going to find your little girlfriend." ”
Samir Duran suddenly appeared, and he bowed respectfully towards Kelligan and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen of the Worms, Nafash has discovered that a swarm army is beginning to approach the lair of the Bone Trench, and some of the outposts of our main lair have been attacked by these renegade swarms. ”
Kellygan looked back, but just then, a thought came to her mind.
"Watch out for Samir Duran, I know where your confidence comes from, but trust me."
Frank's voice echoed in her head, it was telepathy, and no third party could receive it except for both of them. Kellygan's eyes flickered slightly, and she didn't answer.
When she focused her gaze on Frank's body, she found that the standing figure had lost its breath of life. And then it became more and more unreal.
He's gone.
"Should I call up your troops? Her Majesty? Duran's voice broke the silence.
Kelly Gen was brought back to her senses, her eyes turned flame-red at this moment, and her human side had disappeared, which was daunting, and she was the real Queen of Blades at this moment. Seeing her turn around leisurely, Duran lowered his head very knowingly, and his eyes could only focus on the ground.
"It seems that the Earth Federation is testing their ability to control the Juggernaut. I thought that after we bulldozed the planet Keha, Gerrard would retreat, at least for the time being, and choose to defend strategically. I didn't expect them to dare to confront me head-on now, it's really self-defeating. The Empress of Blade smiled wickedly, her fiery eyes swept towards Duran, "I won't allow Gerald's tentacles to reach into the Bone Trench, quickly gather the swarms to defend our remaining outposts first, make sure that the mutinous swarms have not established a hidden nest near us, as long as we ensure the stability of the Bone Trench, we can start attacking Dagoth's lair in a big way." ”
The mutinous swarm is the young dominant colony, and Gerald tries to defeat the swarm with it. However, Kelligan's forces are no longer what they used to be, and now her swarm army has the ability to continue to compete head-on with the expeditionary force, while Gerald's fleet has lost its logistical supply, which will become the most fatal weakness of the Earth expeditionary force.
Fighting a war of attrition with the biters is clearly a foolish act. Maybe Gerald hasn't really felt the power of the swarm, the terrifying ability to sustain combat and the ability to consume, the kind of constant attack, the worm that can never be finished. Only after experiencing it for yourself will you know the horror of it
Frank left the swarm, but he remained on the planet Char, where he appeared in a blazing crater. While in a state of shadow stealth, no one noticed his existence. The earth was steaming, and the ash surface was full of cracks, the smallest of which was three meters wide, and the largest of which was sixty meters wide, and these cracks coiled on the surface for tens of kilometers.
Shadow-stealthy Frank perched on the edge of a crevture, hot gas pouring up from beneath the fissure, and he glanced at what was beneath the fissure, the scorching lava flowing slowly under the crevasse, enough to burn an adult alive in three minutes.
The entire Blazing Crater area is inhabited by abyssal caverns, and I believe that no one wants to come to this hellish entrance.
But someone came here.
Frank leaped over the seven-meter-wide crack to the other side, and continued to walk briskly in the volcanic terrain until he had traveled seven kilometers before stopping, prompting him to stop when he found human footprints in the blazing crater, and it was not until he got close that he realized that this group of outlaws who were not afraid of death were actually members of the Earth Expeditionary Force.
Curiosity prompted Frank to sneak into the interior of these people, and soon, he found the shadow of the swarm, Frank was sure that these bugs would never be Kellygan's troops, this small group of human troops came to the vicinity of this swarm nest, in addition to the infantry mobile unit and dozens of technical engineers appeared here.
Frank got the answer after a little thought, he guessed that the appearance of these humans should be the Earth Federation's ability to control the master has not yet matured, and the master's lair "Corrupted Land" is too far away from here, so they will send scientists and a small number of ground troops to here, the purpose is naturally to control these bugs and command them to attack Kelligan's lair, you know, the bone trench is only thirty kilometers away from the blazing crater area.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Frank felt a very subtle movement on the ground, but it didn't escape his notice. He could already feel the throbbing sound of the ground getting heavier and heavier, and he half-crouched down to carefully feel the subtle tremors coming from the earth, and in a moment confirmed the approximate distance of the tremors.
Thirteen kilometers away, and has already broken through thirteen kilometers.
There is only one explanation for this: an army of insects is coming here.
Frank immediately stood up, put on his goggles and locked onto the surface within twenty kilometers ahead, to his surprise that there was no trace of the swarm. But the tremors of the earth were becoming clearer and clearer, telling him that the barren surface was clearly a deception, and that something was definitely going to happen.
"Tunnel worms!"
The word suddenly flashed in his mind, and the doubts in his heart disappeared, only the "Tunnel Worm" could explain the current situation, he knew that this place was not far from the Bone Trench, or even very close, and the insect web could not spread due to the volcano in this area, but there was something that could reach it quickly.
That's the Tunnel Worm Network.
To be sure, the swarm used here must be Kellygan's troops, and as for transporting the army through the tunnel worm network, it is clear that she doesn't want the human satellites in high orbit to detect her movements, even though she has sent troops to deal with the eyes of these humans scattered all over the corner.
Thinking of this, Frank did not hesitate and left here on the spot, not surprisingly, this place is about to become a battlefield.
(To be continued.) )
