Chapter 37: Where to go
The orcs roared and slaughtered the Ajabaru Worm King, but to no avail, the strong and brave orc warrior was kicked away like a child in front of the five-meter-tall giant worm, and the Worm King even stabbed its thick forelimbs into the body of the orc warrior, and thick blood suddenly gushed out, spilling all over the ground under the Worm King's feet.
"Roar. ”
The primal impulse made Jabbar forget his fear, and in the direction of the insect king's rush, the orc chief rushed out without fear. Picking up the spear of the warrior beside him, he quickly rushed to the bottom of the insect king with the help of the power of the wind element.
Before Ajabaru could react, Jabbar had already slipped under the Worm King's abdomen, and with a fierce assassination, the spear with flames, pierced into Ajabaru's lower abdomen. That's the weakest point of all bugs, and the king of bugs is no surprise. Abdul-Jabbar knew this when he was fighting Bloodfang.
"Whew. ”
The sudden blow made the Ajabaru Worm King roar, obviously, it had not accurately estimated the strength of this orc chieftain, and now it seemed that it was underestimating.
The wounded insect king was furious, and a dozen feet paddled at the same time, falling backwards, trying to find the orc beneath him.
Although Ajabaru is huge, he is more agile than any orc, and the characteristics of the Zerg are that they are fast and accurate. As the existence of the strongest combat power of the entire Zerg, the Worm King has this characteristic.
Just two seconds later, Jabbar was exposed to the Worm King, his huge compound eyes staring at the orcs on the ground, and the Worm King frantically pounced again.
The hand-to-hand combat type of the Bug King, who likes to kill his prey with brutal physical strikes, is Abdul-Jabbar's first impression of the Brook Bug King. This population was originally made up of low-level insect swarms, and it is not surprising that their heads prefer to use pure hand-to-hand combat.
The two huge and sharp jaws quickly swept by, and Jabbar saw the direction of the Worm King's sweep, and immediately fell to the ground, dodging the sweep, but when he tried to rush into Ajabaru's abdomen, the Worm King's huge forelimbs had already blocked Jabbar's way.
Like a thorn of steel piercing into the dirt, the huge forelimbs fell less than a meter in front of Jabbar, if it wasn't for the uncle's timely reaction, the next second, it would be himself who was penetrated by the forelimbs of the insect king.
Although the Ajabaru Bug King had an advantage in the decisive battle between the Bug King and the Orc Great Chieftain, the combined forces of the Dwarves and Humans, plus the remnants of the Orcs, won the battle of the Swarm one after another, with a large number of bugs incinerated and the deadly blows of the Dwarven musketeers piercing even the hard worm beetles. Even if you can't kill with one shot, if you take a few more shots, the bugs will still die.
In the center of the swarm battlefield, Abdul-Jabbar and the Brook Bug King were in a short stalemate, but this kind of battle did not last long, because the Bug King crushed the orcs in terms of strength and size, and even the strongest orcs could not fight against a giant beetle.
Fortunately, the dwarven forces arrived in time.
Battling dungeon creatures for a long time has given the dwarves a great deal of valuable experience in dealing with this disgusting reptile.
The crux of the matter lies in the steps of the insect king.
From the ground, although the Brooke Bug King's size is extremely advantageous, and the sturdy carapace is almost impossible to break through, like all bugs, the Bug King's weakness lies in these dozen seemingly thick steps.
"Launch!"
The captain of the dwarven musket gave the order to fire in unison. The gunfire was so loud that it was thick with white smoke, and Jabbar lowered his head almost as he heard the gunshot, for fear that a bullet would injure him.
But the next moment, instead of steel bullets, special ropes were fired from the muskets.
Hundreds of dwarven musketeers instantly entwined the twelve feet of the insect king, and then pulled them together.
Beetles are good at digging tunnels and diving underground, but once their tentacles are entangled, they can't escape the dwarves wherever they go, and some bugs are pulled out by the dwarves even if they turn underground, and then they are surrounded and annihilated together.
The Ajabaru Worm King knew that he had encountered a natural enemy, but the strength of the dwarves was limited after all, and more than a hundred dwarves worked together to hold the Worm King.
However, in the next second, the giant beetle Ajabaru went berserk......
The insect king roared and buried his head in the soil, and the two giant jaws and forelimbs struggled to cut through the top soil, and in less than five seconds, the insect king Ajabaru was plunged into the soil, and the ropes broke one after another. Just as the fleet couldn't hold the giant octopus, the moment the Worm King burrowed into the soil, he also took some dwarven hunters who didn't have time to let go.
Angry dwarven musketeers fired at the caving ground like a shark diving into the depths, but the insect king Ajabaru had apparently fled deep enough for bullets to penetrate the earth.
The Worm King's escape caused the final collapse of the Zerg, and the swarm of insects burned by the flames fled in all directions, like a black tide receding.
But the coalition and the orcs all know that this time everyone joined forces to defeat only a low-level species in the racial army, the Brook Zerg, and there are more high-level insect swarms waiting for the orc and dwarf forces to kill, ignoring the human army here, because in this human army, except for Leo, the others are cannon fodder, and a dozen human farmers may not be killed if they surround a bug. Unless the regular army of Teletham joins in, humanity will always be in the role of playing soy sauce in this battle.
"What's next for you?"
When it gets dark, Leo walks alone to the orc camp and meets Jabbar.
Ten years have passed since the Orc War, but many Orcs still keep their distance from humans, except for merchants who live in human cities, orcs generally prefer to live with their own people, and so do humans. For this reason, Leo specially summoned Abdul-Jabbar before he came in, and the two had to go out to discuss matters outside the tent.
"I don't know, I still have no clue, I can only lead the rest of the troops to try to delay the pace of Zerg expansion. Hadrian is rebuilding, and it will take time. ”
After the afternoon battle, Abdul-Jabbar had been with Leo for a while, and now it was his turn to get down to business. However, it seems that Leo has a new perspective on how to deal with the swarm after coming into contact with the dwarven army.
"Why don't we go into the nest of the swarm, each species of bugs has its own unique mother, and there is only one female worm in the whole colony, which is equivalent to the queen mother. As long as the mother worm is killed, the insects of this population will stop reproducing, at least for a while, and when a new female worm is born and grows up, they can replenish the next generation. Therefore, we can't kill these insects on the ground, we must go deep into the ground to find the evil giant mother worm. ”
Leo relayed what the dwarves had taught him, and it was the only hope for the human army.
"Did you find the cave?"
Abdul-Jabbar asked.
"No, that's the problem, the Zerg caves are all over the continent, some of the holes are big and obvious, but some of the holes are small and secret. And the difficulty is difficult, not that the bigger the hole means the larger the space inside, after we go into many underground caves, some of the surface of the hole is very small, it looks very inconspicuous, after entering, it is a different scene. So, we've been until now, and we've still found nothing. ”
Leo replied, a look of weariness on his face. (To be continued.) )
