Chapter 531: Insect Tide II
After eating Midra, a faint red glow began to shine through the gaps in the carapace of Osmu's body, making the red beetle fly insect look like a large, boiled crab. Osme clawed his abdomen, began to show signs of spasms, and continued to squirt grayish-white viscous fluid from his mouth. The mucus seemed to have life in itself, and it struggled to spread and dissolve throughout Osim's body.
Osmum fell to the ground with a thud, the worm's body twitching, and the gray slime quickly covered every inch of its body. When this work is done, the mucus begins to chill and turns into a grayish-white plaster stone. As for Osmu, it looked like a gray rock that had lost any breath of life. But in it, there is a subtle energy stirring.
After devouring Midera, Osmu went into hibernation to absorb the Worm King's energy and use its genetic fragments to replenish himself. When this job is done, Osme will be reborn and evolve into the new Worm King.
Now the outer layer of plasterstone-like substance, in addition to protecting oneself from the outside world, also plays a role in disguise. In this way, on this ordinary night, the power of Cazeroth quietly shifted.
However, at this time, Laviachia, far away in the wilderness north of the Silent Continent, did not know that Midra was dead. The big [flesh] worm was still carrying out Midra's orders, using the goods as a disguise to send Ademili to Cazeras. It's just that it was late at night, and the convoy naturally stopped to rest. The bodyguard Kirby chose a more complex terrain to rest in order to avoid being suddenly attacked by dangerous mutant beasts on the plains.
It was once the ruins of a city, but most of the buildings have long since been weathered, and only a few skeletons remain on the surface, looking like the remains of a giant beast from a distance. A small supermarket with a small half left serves as a makeshift break for Lavia and Ademili, and Kirby directs the kobolds to lay a solid defensive line around the perimeter to prevent attacks and to guard Ademili.
In the supermarket, the dusty shelves and expired food that had been scattered on the floor had been cleared up, and the cleared space was Lavia's big bed and a soft sleeping mat. The sleeping mat was naturally for Ademili, and the Gegna, who had been captured by Middra, was sitting on the sleeping mat without saying a word.
Laviachia herself came to Ademili with a bottle of clean water and a canned meat and put it down: "Miss, I know that this trip has made you very unpleasant. But if I were you, at least I'd have something to eat, and being hungry would only make my mood worse. ”
"Mr. Lavia, I didn't expect you to be a gentleman. Ademili said softly.
Lavichia twisted its big head and simply sat down next to the sleeping mat: "Anyway, I was also saved by the young lady and your family once. Besides, Lord Midra has told me to make sure you arrive at Cazeras unharmed, and I should be kind to you. ”
"I think Mister Lavichia is also a sensible person, don't you see that your Mistress Midra has made a very wrong decision this time. It's not a good thing to kidnap me. Ademili said lightly.
Lavizia touched her head with her short flesh and said, "I don't know what you're going to say, Miss. ”
"How could you not know that Mr. Lavia's head is notoriously clever in the Mobistone Market. Ademili smiled and said, "I might as well make a guess for my husband, your lord kidnapped me just to control Gegnah through me. But you seem to have forgotten that the real leader of Gegnaia is Lord Hameris and not me, Ademili. ”
"It's just that Lord Hammelis has been dormant for a long time over the years, and all orders have been issued through me, which has created an illusion for the outside world. As you may not know, Master Hammis has recently awakened and will not be falling back into a deep slumber for a short time. In other words, even if Midra controlled me, she couldn't change anything. Ademili looked deeply into Lavia's eyes and said in a deep voice: "On the contrary, once it is determined that my existence will cause trouble for Gegnaia, Lord Hamelis will definitely sacrifice me to save Gegnaia, and this behavior of yours is undoubtedly a provocation to Midoridu." What will happen next is already obvious, war, total war will break out. So I want to ask, can Cazeroth, the weakest of the three tundra countries, withstand the wrath from Gegnah?"
The muscles in Lavia's face twitched, and this answer didn't need to be said by Ademili, it could also get the consequences.
"Well, even if you can withstand the wrath of Master Hamermis. But then, as long as we use the Tulash Mountains as the boundary, we will completely cut off your supplies. We don't even have to do anything, and Kezeroth will end up in a dead land. At that time, you will find out that kidnapping me is actually more than worth the loss. So Mr. Lavia, do you want to wait until then to regret it? Regret not making a deal with me tonight. Finally, Ademili threw her bait.
"Deal?" Lavicchia whispered, "What deal?"
"Send me back to Gegnah, and we'll still fight against Cazeras. But the crusade will focus on Midra to avoid the outbreak of all-out war. We're going to kill Midra, and Mister Lavia would be a good ally, and we can secure that relationship through the sale of supplies. As for Kazeras itself, we will dismantle its existing power structure and introduce a parliamentary system, and as for the speaker of the parliament, Mr. Lavizia will naturally be the candidate. Adimili said softly, "Whether to choose to be a frontier procurement officer under Midra, or to become the pinnacle of power in Cazeras, Mr. Laviachia can decide." ”
The big meat [worm] breath became messy, and to be honest, Ademili's deal was very tempting. The key lies in the deduction she has made, and in the humble position that Laviacia is now in. No matter how you look at it, you can break free from Midra's rule and stand at the top of the pyramid of Cazeroth. With Gegnaia behind him, all of this must be far better than his current self.
But Lavia's intellect told him that if he failed, he would probably be worse off than dead.
Laviachia, who was constantly swaying at the ends of the scales, had no idea for a moment, and he said to Ademili: "I need time to think about such an important matter, I can't answer you at once, miss." ”
Ademili nodded, but for her now, every second was precious, and how could she let Lavichia think about it.
Something has to be done, it seems. Ademili thought.
Laviachia tossed and turned in his big bed, and Atemiri's proposal crawled up and down his mind like a little worm, making him itch. He carefully compares the consequences of the two possibilities of success and failure, and tries to find a balance between the two, or to prepare a way back for himself to minimize the loss in the event of failure.
He is a businessman, and weighing the pros and cons is the quality of a businessman, and taking a gamble at a critical moment is Laviachia's consistent style. He was very excited about Ademili's deal, but that didn't mean that Lavia would follow someone else's arrangement without objection, and he had to leave himself some necessary chips. He decided to discuss the matter with Ademili tomorrow morning, and if the Gegeniya could agree to his request, then he wouldn't mind taking such a gamble.
As he thought so, there was a commotion behind the supermarket, followed by the roars of mutant beasts and the shouting of kobolds, mixed with the screams of slaves, and the situation was very chaotic. Laviachia couldn't sleep, he jumped out of the big bed and yelled outside, "Kirby, what the hell is going on?"
The orcs ran in in a panic and said, "Boss, no, those beasts are crazy. ”
"Crazy?" Laviazia clearly couldn't understand the meaning of the word.
Kirby gestured, "It was okay haode just now, but suddenly they became very irritable. The Rabbis tried their best to keep them under control, but whether it was a grumpy dire wolf or a relatively docile overlord snail, the damn thing went on a rampage. ”
"Oh my God, what about my goods?" Lavia's face suddenly turned rather ugly.
In order to prevent immediate evacuation in the event of a sudden attack, the truck is always placed with the mutant beasts. If the mutant beasts go berserk, the cargo on the cart will suffer. At this time, another kobold ran in from outside the supermarket, and said to Lavicchia with a sad face: "Boss, we have tried our best, but we still let those beasts run away." And"
"And what?" roared Lavicchia.
"Nearly two-thirds of our cargo has been lost, and they've been trampled on by the damn beasts. The Rabbis bowed their heads, not daring to look directly at Laviacchia.
Suddenly lacking the strength to be angry, Lavizia waved his hand and motioned for Kirby and the kobold to leave. The big meat [worm] almost collapsed to the ground, losing nearly two-thirds of its cargo, and there was no mutant beast pulling the cart. Even if the Rabbis and slaves alone carried the rest of the goods back to Cazeroth with their bare hands, Lavia would still be severely punished and even put to death!
Nothing could be worse than that.
"It seems that Mr. Laviachia has no other choice. Ademili said suddenly.
Ravichia's mind flashed in and she looked at Ademili and yelled, "You did it, did you?"
"That's right, I just used my ability to communicate with those beasts a little. "Ademili graciously admits that her spiritual will can be used not only for communication between intelligent beings, but also for influencing the will of the lower beasts.
Laviakia's eyes widened in anger, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill the woman. But reason told him that only this woman could let him continue to live, and even live more beautifully than now. So Lavia tried to calm her anger, looked at Ademili and smiled bitterly: "Miss is really clever, so please tell me, what do we have to do now?"
Ademili held up her hands: "First untie me, then I suggest bring the necessary food and water, and then let your guards send us back to Gegnah." ”
"I don't think there's any other choice but that. Laviachia sighed.
The orc Kirby suddenly broke in again, and said with a strange face, "Boss, those beasts are back." ”
At this time, even Ademili was stunned, and then Kirby said, "But they seem to have rushed back for something." ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone felt the ground vibrate slightly. Lavizia pointed at Ademili and said, "Untie her." ”
After saying that, he himself hurried out of the supermarket, and at a glance, several dire wolves were running in the direction of the camp in panic. The Rabbis raised their guns and fired at the beasts, and the bullets were so bullet that they brought down the dire wolves in a few shots, and Lavia's heart ached. These guys cost him a lot of money.
The tremors continued.
Lavizia simply called a kobold and snatched the telescope from him. After switching to night vision mode, Lavizia shivered as she looked into the distance of night.
Lots of bugs!
They converged on the ground into a huge tide of insects, rolling in the direction of the south. The most numerous of these are a body length of three meters, with a pointed head and a pointed tail, long sharp teeth, and three pairs of sharp arthropods. The crawl is fast, and the dense pile makes people's backs chill when they look at it. This is the Chocobo, the basic combat unit of Cazeroth, which belongs to the role of infantry and cannon fodder.
Then there are some pot-bellied bugs, all of which have round bellies that glow green like fireflies. They have flat, small heads and three pairs of wings, allowing them to fly at low altitudes. They are self-exploding insects, belonging to the Kaizeroth suicide combat unit, and the sound of the explosion causes venom to splash in the body to achieve a wide-area killing effect.
In addition to the two most common classes, the Fortworm also features a large mobile unit, the Fortress Bug, which is used to provide supplies and transport troops. Positional sniping can be carried out if necessary, otherwise the two biological cannons on their backs will become decorations. There were not many fortress bugs, only two, but each one was the size of a hill, and in terms of momentum, it was not much inferior to a corps of land bugs.
And if there are fortress bugs, there must be corrupters. They are parasites on the fortress bugs, and they are also the soldiers transported by the fort bugs. The Corruptor is a sapper class that can transform an area into a suitable place for Zerg combat. At the same time, they are also the guardians of fortress bugs, and the biotoxins secreted by the corruptor can paralyze the immune system of living beings, causing them to reduce their basic data, which can have various adverse effects.
All in all, the four-class insect tide that Lavia saw belonged to the regular army of Kezeroth. And now, the tide is pointing straight at the ground ground. In that fangxiangshang, the Silent Continent was an obvious target!
