Chapter 49: The Insect Tide
The mountain rain is about to come, the wind is full of buildings, the dark clouds squeeze the sky, covering the scarlet eyes just now, as if they are about to fall, depressed as if the whole world is quiet, the air is viscous and humid, making people feel that there is endless sweat.

It's the weather that bugs like.
"Report!There are a large number of 'underground creatures' in the south!" A young scout-looking elven warrior hurriedly rushed into the "Hunter Hall", although his immature face tried to remain calm, but his eyes still revealed some panic.
"Report! There are a lot of 'underground creatures' in the East!"
"It's time to come. Illidan muttered in a low voice, then stood up and roared: "All on alert, ring the alarm bell, and get ready for battle!"
"Bell, bell, bell"
"Bell, bell, bell"
......
The elven ancient bells were constantly ringed in groups every three times, and the deep but loud sound resounded throughout the elven tribe.
Regardless of men, women, and children, all elves heard about it, and immediately put down the affairs in their hands, fully armed and ready for battle, because as an elf, even if it is a half-old child, it has good combat effectiveness.
"What, south and east?!" Lao Hu, who heard the information, seemed to be unable to believe his ears.
Since the cloudy day in the morning, Hu Yu has been praying that it must not rain, if it is wet by the rain, then Hu Yu's "fried worms" plan will be completely ruined. But the rain didn't fall, and another bad news made Lao Hu's abacus completely fail: the direction in which the insects came turned out to be south and east!
In fact, I don't complain about Hu Yu's bad luck, it's just that Lao Hu is careless, forgetting that the insects have no special requirements for the terrain at all, on the contrary, for the flat terrain, the insects may prefer the bumpy jungle, plus the black powder itself buried in the ground exudes a strong smell of sulfur, and the insects naturally avoided attacking from the west.
Pick up the "fire system", carry the gunpowder, take the kreacher, walk up to the "green" wall, and the old beard will fight side by side with the elves.
------------------
The dense earthy yellow "polygonal insects" are like an earthy yellow torrent, rolling in from the southeast, followed by brownish "social scorpions", which seem to be waves of yellow waves under the dark and cramped sky. As cannon fodder, the number of these bugs has reached a terrifying number, and it is completely a "bug tide"!
The elven soldiers, including Lao Hu, did not make an effective judgment on the number of bugs, only knew that bugs were known for their number, but they did not expect such a number. Holding the "Huotong" in his hand tightly, his nails were even clasped into the flesh because he was too hard, his hands trembled slightly, and he was a little stunned in the face of the insects that made his scalp numb.
Thackeray, the lord of the "polygonal worm", was extremely depressed, as a "terrestrial" zerg, he was not taken seriously by the "crypt lord" Anubrekan, and was even treated unfairly. As a fifth-order peak Zerg Lord, he was actually put at the front to be used as cannon fodder, Thackeray couldn't help but be angry. It had no choice, it sent its men to attack, but it was grinding and chirping in the back and was reluctant to step forward.
"Ready" The elven archers raised their longbows, "Shoot the arrows!" Suddenly the arrows rained down, and the silvery-white elven armor-piercing arrows rained down on the insects.
Immediately, the cannon fodder, led by the "polygonal insects", fell like wheat that had been cut.
But in an instant, a steady stream of bugs in the back filled the gap in front of them, stepping on the corpses of their companions and screaming and continuing to charge.
Seeing this, the elven elders quickly began to release the awakening magic, and the emerald green energy was like a key, causing the huge "Ancient Protectors" to gradually awaken from the state of the trees, and then began to absorb the natural energy given to them by Mother Earth. Immediately after that, huge stones with a radius of one meter were continuously thrown outward by the "Ancient Protectors", and the attack of the insects was suddenly blocked.
In fact, for group battles, the bugs don't have too many other methods, they still rely on their overwhelming advantage to "pile" the enemy, although the attack is blocked, the battle line is still advancing with the casualties of the bugs, that is, a few breaths of time, it is about to approach the "city wall"!
It seems that when it came to the shooting distance of the "fire system", only a few loud noises of "bang bang bang" were heard, Hu Yu immediately opened fire, and under the stimulation of gunpowder, the "burst fruit" that was shot out exploded perfectly, and the scorching fragments wrapped in gunpowder anger formed a destructive damage to the insects in a very small space, and for a time the severed limbs flew sideways, and under the "fire system", there was not a single intact insect that survived. Similar to the shotgun/shotgun in the previous life, but it is a little more powerful than the shotgun.
The momentum generated by the hot weapon was unattainable by the cold weapon, and for a while, there was a roar on the city wall, and it seemed that the emotions of the elven warriors were also mobilized, and they roared and raised the crossbow arrows in their hands, and kept shooting at the bugs.
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed elven sentry on the lookout seemed to have noticed something, shouting and pointing into the distance.
Seeing a dark red torrent coming from behind the insect tide, Illidan fixed his eyes on the "Anubal Ambushers" that Tyrande led the elven scouts to eliminate some time ago!
With the addition of a new force, the "insect tide" immediately regained its decline, and rushed to the green "city wall" in one go, and began to climb upward, these dark red cunning and treacherous guys have actually begun to tear the "city wall" composed of "mutant dodder seeds" branches and leaves.
The specially cultivated "Mutant Cuscuta Seed" is still extremely tough, and the sharp teeth of the "Anubal Ambusher" can penetrate even metal, but there is nothing they can do about this tough plant. Some of the insects that touched the flowers of the "mutant dodder seed" even began to gradually become paralyzed, crawling and falling straight from the "city wall".
"Click, click, click" Some strange sounds and the constantly shaking "city wall" caught Illidan's attention. Looking under the city wall, there were actually some large worm-like fourth-order underground demonic beasts "Cracked Earth Tentacles" crawling under the insect tide, and when the "Anubal Ambushers" finished biting the stems of the "Mutant Cuscuta Seeds", they began to attack the roots of the "Cloud Iron Tree" frantically.
The so-called "Cracked Tentacles" is a very common underground monster similar to the "Sapper" class, the whole body is soft and tough, like a disgusting big meat worm, as a mollusk but the head is extremely hard, can break the gold cracked stone, the "Crypt Lord" Anubrekan Most of the palace is made of these creatures, is the nemesis of all gold, stone and wood.
"Hippogriff lifts off!" Illidan shot a sharp arrow, followed by a furious roar. With his order, the battlefield suddenly resounded with the sound of countless wings flapping, and hundreds of strong horned eagle beasts carrying the archers quickly rose into the air, finding a powerful position and a tricky angle, and striking the "ground-splitting tentacles" with armor-piercing arrows from the cracks of the worms full of "Anubal Ambushers".
Gradually, the "Cracked Tentacles", which were not particularly numerous, began to suffer a large number of casualties, and their number also decreased dramatically.
Handing Illidan a box of lost arrows, and after glancing at each other, Tyrande then ordered loudly: "The mage is in place, repair the 'city wall'!"
With her command, the elven clan elders in the back row joined forces again, chanting magic together, and the emerald green natural power emerged again, flowing down the top of the tree like a stream of water, "Natural repair!", the roots of the "Cloud Iron Tree" that had just been destroyed were being repaired rapidly.
Hu Yu looked at this tacit understanding of a man and a woman, and couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy in his heart, and shot a shot at the head of a grinning and provocative "polygonal worm" in the distance.
Before the words fell, I saw some different gray "underground creatures" emerging in the tail bar of the insect tide in the distance. The "big ants", which have been magnified thousands of times, seem to have come out of the ground.
"Crypt Demon, crash landing, crash landing!" the elven sentry on the lookout shouted anxiously at this.
I saw those big ant-like "crypt demons" shaking like chaff from their bodies, and then with a "snap", a cloud of dirty green sticky nets shot out of their mouths and shrouded the "Horned Eagle Knights" in pieces.
Although the elven sentries reminded them in time, it was not easy to make a forced landing, and a large number of "horned eagle beasts" and the archers on their backs were dragged down by the dirty green sticky cobwebs and fell into the "insect tide", and they didn't even have time to scream, and they were overwhelmed by gray and yellow in an instant.
Hu Yu was dumbfounded, he didn't expect to be slapped in the face as soon as he finished speaking.
"Ballista ready!" Illidan was worthy of a qualified general, and he was not in a hurry, only frowning slightly in the face of the tragic casualties, and then made the next reaction.
Dozens of golden heavy "dark gold ballista" made of unknown metal were pushed out, and each "dark gold ballista" needed to be operated by two elven warriors, and the elven warriors who were responsible for the supply carried several giant "piercing arrows" in an orderly manner, ready to go.
"Put!"
"Zheng Zheng, Zheng Zheng" The extremely heavy giant "piercing arrow" rubbed against the air, producing a sound similar to a muffled sound of breaking the air. This "dark gold ballista" seems to have been prepared to fight the "Crypt Demons", as a ranged unit, these "big ants" have no resistance at all, scattering and fleeing, causing them heavy casualties in a few salvos.
Gradually, the scales of victory seemed to have begun to tip in favor of the elves.
Standing on top of the still solid green "city wall", he shot a "social xenomorph scorpion" in the head again, and an ominous premonition slowly surged into Hu Yu's heart.
"This war, it seems too simple?"
