Leyden's eyes narrowed as the fires ignited on the front line of the army made Lydon squint, and in his sight, a human could easily set two land worms on fire, turning them into two huge balls of fire. With a sweep of his hand as if by magic, a dozen elemental beams shot a chocobo that was rushing towards him into a sieve. As the mid- and low-level fire abilities were used one by one, the lives of those Zerg soldiers who dared to cross the thunder pool were harvested concisely and efficiently under the operation methods of the masters.

The chocobos gradually became restless, and the killing caused by strangers spread a wave of unease through the ranks of the Zerg soldiers. When Lyden tightened the tear in his hand and decided to step forward to cut off the uneasiness himself, he saw that the man forced a chocobo away and put something in his mouth and blew it, and immediately the sound of a flute that only the Zerg could hear sounded in Lyden's ears.

Lydon's figure, which was already ready to swoop, froze slightly, and whispered, "Instrument of the Covenant?"

The Flute of the Covenant is a specially crafted bone flute that emits sound waves that only the Zerg can receive, and is a gift from Midra to Cazerth's allies for contact and identity purposes. Hearing this flute, Lydon no longer doubted it, and shouted: "Stop it!"

Then jumped off the fortress worm, and the land chocobos in front of them parted like a tide, revealing a passage for Leyden to pass. And at the end of the passage, Betsy was putting down the bone flute, and the cowboy hat seemed to be smiling, so that people didn't know what he was thinking at the moment.

This morning, Betsy left Mount Tulash. After many days of rest, his energy has largely recovered. Originally, he planned to find Midra first, but when he came to the Silent Continent, he found that it had become a battlefield for the Bug Kingdom and the Tuku Clan. Moreover, Midra is nowhere to be seen, and Betsy can only come to Leyden, the only one in the Bug Nation army who exudes the momentum of a strongman.

He was ready to give a big gift to Zero, but only if he could act with the Bug Army, otherwise he would not be able to break through the fire blockade of the Tuku Clan. Betsy knows this very well, and knows that the grudge between her and Zero is the right time to settle it once and for all. From the initial task to kill Zero, to now the five-person group is left alone, this situation not only Betsy didn't think, I'm afraid even the top boss Tyre didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Whether it's his own mission, or the shame of being forced by Zero to leave his companion and abscond by himself, all this pushes Betsy to come here, and intends to take revenge on Zero with the help of Liliang of the Bug Country.

When she saw Lydon, Betsy was very happy, even happier than she was to see Midra. Lydon's unabashed murderous aura, and the stride of the Ripper, all tell Betsy that the alien is a brutal character of the berserk type, not the sinister and cunning type of Midra. With this alien insect dominating, the war will only break out sooner, not too late.

That's what Betsy would love to see.

The Ripper thrust into the ground, and Lydon walked over to Betsy and looked around with him, "A human ally?" Well, I've heard that Mistress Midra has a cooperative relationship with some humans, and since you have the Instrument of the Covenant, I trust you for now. Tell me, mighty ally, how can you help me?"

Betsy smiled, "I'm here for Midra." But he doesn't seem to be here, so who are you, and can you represent the king of your country?"

Lydon immediately identified himself and said, "I'm also looking for Lord Midras, and as the only general in Cazeroth, I think I should be qualified enough to make any promises on his behalf when Lord Madren is not present." ”

"Well, my request is simple, I have a prey right in your opponent's position, so I want to act with you. Of course, as a fire-based elemental powerhouse, I can provide you with enough fire support. However," Betsy turned his head to look in the direction of the Silent Continent, where the oasis was gone, and only a huge lava lake remained: "It looks like you won't be able to attack for a few days." ”

Lydon sneered: "Then you're wrong, if those Tuku guys think the same way, then wait until I give them a huge surprise." Allies of humanity, if you're going to join us, you'd better be prepared. By tonight at the latest, we're going to attack!"

Betsy was amazed, he had already seen the army of Cazeroth. A mixed legion of 30,000 to 40,000 Chocobins and Detonators does have a huge advantage, but Cazeras lacks airborne units. Betsy doesn't know how Lydon can launch an offensive in the current environment?

In the evening, the Tuku camp was being fortified. At Zero's request, stilt buildings were piled up, and the resulting materials were piled up with a wooden wall behind the original barbed wire. If it were an Asgard sapper, they could have poured a solid concrete wall, which would have been a reliable fortification. But here in the Tuku clan, there is neither material nor jishu, and such a wooden wall can only be said to be unsatisfactory. But as far as the current situation is concerned, it is much more difficult to be picky.

There were also some firing holes in the wooden wall, and the firing holes facing the slope were still frequent, enough to support hundreds of machine guns firing at the same time. Led by Tuxian, dozens of Tuku were planting explosives on the slopes of the heights. If he could, Zero would prefer to place anti-infantry mines, which are powerful enough to contain the advance of the Zocobos. However, the Tuku only have explosives packs in their warehouses, which can only be detonated by throwing Molotov cocktails or directly bombarding the Chocobos with high-powered grenades.

In general, the Tuku family has limited resources, and Zero is trying to make use of these limited resources. This time, Tu Xian had to admit that Zero played a far greater role than his patriarch. Zero's greatest role is not in his personal battles, but in his systematic military knowledge and experience. From the reinforcement of the defensive line, to the planting of the dynamite phalanx, to the need to conserve ammunition, Zero temporarily instructed the Tuku warriors to identify a simple set of signal commands, so that they could follow his orders to attack purposefully rather than shoot indiscriminately. These are all kinds of things, not only what the Tuku people lack, but even the entire higher life of the western tundra lacks a commander like Zero.

This is not because Zero is very talented in military affairs, but because the experience of mankind in warfare has been accumulated through the blood and sweat of countless predecessors. However, the emergence of intelligent life is only a few decades, and no matter how smart they are, they cannot compare with the human race, a race with a long history, in terms of war alone, and there is a huge time gap in between.

In the face of the huge number gap of opponents, no matter how cautious it is, it is impossible to be too cautious. This is a portrayal of Zero's moment, he is active in the camp, using every ounce of resources. Even the mutants and thorns raised by the Tuku are ready to be used in battle, though they are of very limited use in a war of thousands. But now for zero, being able to take advantage of a little is a little.

Time was still of the essence, and Zero was confident that Staley would follow the signal generator he had placed. If they had their support, the battle would have been more or less fought.

Because Zero blew up the volcano alone today and returned safely, the Tuku showed enough respect for him as a human. Every order of he, an outsider, was thoroughly carried out, and if this scene had happened before, Merlin would not have believed it. But now, it's happening. Compared with Zero's busyness, the Grand Duke is much more leisurely.

Merlin was wearing a set of soft armor that was given to him by the first diagram, the soft armor was made of leather, and its defensive power was dispensable, far inferior to the set of heavy armor before the Grand Duke. However, the previous heavy armor had been damaged, and Merlin didn't ask for much. After all, the Tuku clan has limited resources, not to mention that they are not in the habit of wearing heavy armor. The Grand Duke carefully wiped the Flame Judgment, the tomahawk he had made with his own hands was like an extension of his own arm, and every time he wielded it, Merlin felt connected to it.

This time will be no exception, he has already decided to use this tomahawk to cut off Leyden's head.

The defense of the camp is being completed little by little, and according to Zero's estimate, it will take at least two days for the lava lake to cool down and be fit for marching, so the Tuku have two precious days to reinforce the camp's defenses. However, an exclamation from the direction of the north guard tower shattered Zero's thoughts: "Oh my God, here they are, and the bugs are moving!"

The exclamation swept over the camp, and not only did he stop his work, but even Tuxian, who had planted the explosives, was stunned. Zero jumped up to a watchtower in the north for the first time, and the pupil of his right eye dilated, and the distant picture instantly zoomed in. In the night, a figure as high as a small mountain was moving, it was a giant insect wrapped in a heavy carapace.

A Cazeras transport unit, a fortress bug slowly left its original position and headed for the Silent Continent. The carapace on the fortress worm opened holes in what had been the transport compartments of the Corruptor. Each chamber was large enough for five or so Corruptors, but now they were occupied by Zobos, who crawled from the ground into the Fortress Bug's transport bins, shrinking their long, sharp arthropods and anchoring themselves in the chambers, allowing the Fortress Worms to carry them in the direction of the Silent Continent.

A fortress bug can hold tens of thousands of corrupters, and it can accommodate about 2,000 chocobos, plus many chocobos directly fix themselves on the fortress bugs. Under the overload, at least 3,000 or so land chocovers headed in the direction of the Tuku tribe.

Zero's face became a little ugly, and he could probably guess what the other party wanted to do. It is clear that the Zerg General intends for the Fortress Bugs to force their way into the lava lake and send a few thousand Zocoers to the front line. It's a crazy move, but it's doable. Because there is only one slope between the high ground and the ground, the number of bugs that can be parallelized at one time is limited, and there is not much difference between a few thousand and tens of thousands of bugs attacking at the same time, and the pressure faced by the Tuku clan is actually the same.

Seeing that the fortress worm had begun to enter the lava lake, Zero sighed and said to a Tuku tribesman next to him: "Pass the order and prepare to attack!"

"Get ready to attack!"

"Get ready to attack!"

So such an order spread in the camp, and the Tuku people took up their weapons and began to move towards the line of defense in the direction of the slope, and entered their firing positions according to the previous arrangement of Zero. Tuxian and the rest of the clan also returned to the camp, and Merlin had polished his battle axe and was waiting to harvest the lives of the enemy.

Lydon and Betsy were not involved in the attack, not even the Explode. This tentative attack was carried out purely by the Zoco, which is what Lydon meant, and this is his usual style. But the next attack will be heavier and heavier each time. Even if the opponent is strong, under such increasing attack pressure, the mental and physical tests will be extremely heavy, and Lydon himself will appear in Zuihou's offensive and lose his opponent's courage in one fell swoop.

But even so, in front of an army of more than 3,000 land chocobos, only one-tenth of the number of the Tuku still seemed so small.

It's just that for this strong attack, the Cazeras side also has to pay a certain price. Before the attack, Lydon had to prepare to sacrifice a fortress bug. Although the Fortress Bug is a transport unit that can travel in most geographical environments, it is definitely not in an extreme environment such as a lava lake. As soon as the fortress worm entered the lava lake, it began to let out a low wail from time to time.

The hot magma caused its tentacles that were in direct contact with the ground to begin to melt, and even if the fortress bug's flesh was very strong, it could not withstand the high temperature of the magma. As it continued to go deeper, such wails became more and more frequent, and even the bottom of the fortress bug had begun to catch fire. But that's it, it's still moving forward. When there were still a hundred meters to go from the slope of the high ground, the fortress worm finally stopped.

The lava lake had taken its life, but it had transported the army to a position fairly close to its destination. Next, the chocobo crawled out of the hole and jumped towards the slope of the high ground. Their bounce is so incredible that they often kick their arthropods and fall like cannonballs across the magma below and onto the slope. Of course, some of the hapless ones jump straight into the lava, but their corpses become stepping stones for their companions.

As more and more land chocobos reach the slopes, they begin to climb towards higher ground. On a watchtower facing the slope, the battleship guns were erected at zero. He watched coldly as the army of chocobos poured up from the bottom of the slope, so dense that the bugs on the edge occasionally crashed into their companions and fell into the lava lake as they advanced.

When the bug crawling at the front was less than five hundred meters away from the camp, Zero pressed the trigger hard. At the same time as the battleship artillery transmitted a huge recoil force, an alloy bullet brought fire and instantly sank into the insect array, and the energy storm attached to it immediately bloomed a crimson fire cloud in the land bugs, and dozens of land chocos were pulled into the center of the storm, and they were instantly annihilated by the energy into invisibility.

With the appearance of Zero's death crit, it is heralded that this battle has finally begun!
