Last Totem Novel - Chapter 247

Chapter 247 Probe Into

A few minutes later, Nick Wagner, who was standing on the northeast wall, looked at Commander Sa Jia Qi, who had just returned to the stronghold with a complicated expression. He couldn’t help but recall the shocking scene and sighed inwardly.

This young commander was obviously the kind of person who would be reckless. In order to inspire the soldiers, they actually used their bodies to take risks and rushed towards the insect tide alone. Although the battle just now seemed to be dangerous and unusually relaxed, in reality, as long as one made a small mistake, they would immediately be buried in the sea of insects and torn into pieces by the berserk swarm of insects. Moreover, it wasn’t easy for him to not only control the motorcycle, but also fight. He had to keep an eye on the movements of the thorn insects at all times. After all, people at the edge of the insect tide could hardly see the situation on the battlefield as clearly as those standing in the distance.

Guild Leader Nick asked himself, if it was him, he probably wouldn’t have the courage. Although he was a Psionic Adept and had the ability to fly for a short period of time, if he could not dodge the combined attacks of the stinger insects or encounter the spiritual impact of the Crimson Hegemon, he might be doomed.

Edward Sossie, it now seemed, had lost his mind to oppose such a man.

However, Guild Leader Nick only knew one thing, but he didn’t know the other. Tie Zha dared to act alone because he had the world’s only intelligent module, Alice, to help analyze the situation or to help drive a motorcycle.

A few minutes later, when Tie Zha returned to the city wall, the insect tide in the distance had completely dispersed, forming a huge encirclement within a radius of a thousand meters of the stronghold. After the insects dispersed, the magma beast at the top of the stronghold stopped firing. After all, the cannonballs were limited and could not be wasted on the scattered weeping flies.

Tie Zha picked up his telescope and observed it for a while, but found no trace of the “generalissimo” or “hindworm” in the scattered swarm. It seemed that the commander of this insect tide was at least a Crimson Hegemon or an Abyss Ant Queen. According to the contents of the teaching books in the academy, the brain wave control range of the Crimson Hegemon was about 3 ~ 5km, while the Golden Hegemon was 5 ~ 8km, which was much larger than the Abyss Hegemon’s radius of 1 ~ 3km. Among the insects, the queen had the largest control range, the queen the second, and the queen the smallest; The abyssal queen has a radius of 8 ~ 12km, the crimson queen has a radius of 12 ~ 36km, and the golden queen has a radius of 36 ~ 108km. As for the legendary black golden queen, unofficial data show that its control range exceeds 1000km.

In general, only the lowest level Abyss Hegemons would appear in the vicinity of the insect tide, while the rest would be able to stay far away from the battlefield, at least without being exposed to humans.

A moment later, in a lowland five kilometers away from Tyre Stronghold, a huge silkworm was moving its fat body and digging into the semi-desertified soil. The big silkworm’s entire body was covered in a crimson shell. The segments of the annular shell were incomparably smooth, reflecting a metallic sheen beneath the starlight.

The crimson Hegemon, Merna, is one of the many generals of the Crimson Queen, Salazar Baikal Amber.

The Crimson Queen would not personally attend a small war of this scale. She didn’t care about this little resource in Tyre Stronghold at all. She just wanted to casually attack the temple’s arrogance. Moreover, if she personally took action, the level of this war would increase infinitely. Until now, she had no intention of waging a large-scale war, so she deliberately controlled the number of insects in this tidal wave, so that humans would not be overly nervous, and it would be enough to flatten this stronghold.

Not long after, Merna’s enormous body submerged into the earth. Then, she activated her brain waves and ordered the first wave of weeping flies to enter the battlefield.

In an instant, thousands of weeping flies split into hundreds of teams and charged towards the stronghold. Squads of weeping flies were like giant pythons winding through the sand, dragging sand and dust all over the sky, rushing towards the steel city walls in the night sky from all directions. At this moment, the swarm of weeping flies emitted specks of green light. Under the dim starlight, it emitted an infiltrating aura, causing one’s scalp to go numb and shiver.

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

At this moment, the cannons in the stronghold fired at the same time. Flames flashed in the night sky and streaks of light pierced through the horizon, falling straight into the crowd of weeping flies.

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” Instantly, flames rose up in all directions. Intense explosions rang out. Sand and stones flew everywhere, smoke filled the air, and broken limbs scattered everywhere …

After a moment of silence, the swarm of weeping flies let out an overwhelming howl, rushing out of the smoke that pervaded the battlefield and rushing towards the towering city walls.

In an instant, the swarm of weeping flies rushed towards the fortress with five rounds of lightning-fire-style shelling, and then they covered the self-detonating flies in the swarm and pounced towards the steel wall.

“Prepare for battle.” Tie Zha stood at the edge of the city wall, watching the insects rushing over from below, and then he said to the walkie-talkie in a deep voice.

Soldiers raised their assault rifles, opened their safety bolts, and aimed at the swarm of insects that were getting closer and closer.

“Shoot!”

As the swarm of insects rushed into range, following Tie Zha’s order, gunshots rang out from the city walls. Hundreds of assault rifles spat out tongues of flames, instantly illuminating the night sky. At the same time, the Fiery God Cannon on the shooting platform started to spin at high speed, producing a faint “chi chi” sound.

“Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da …”

In an instant, dense bullets scraped through the air and poured out. Countless yellow, orange, and orange cartridge casings landed on the ground. The weeping flies that rushed to the foot of the city wall were instantly beaten into pieces, their shells severed, and pieces of them flew away.

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” Tie Zha pulled out the Merlin’s left wheel and bombarded the swarm below. Seven or eight weeping flies exploded in response.

At this moment, a weeping lacewing covered in poison bags and emitting a green glow rushed over through the rain of bullets and collided head-on against the steel city wall.

“Boom!” With a soft sound, the self-detonating weeping lacewing exploded on the city wall. In an instant, thick acid splashed everywhere, white smoke rose everywhere, and the pungent smell quickly dissipated. At this moment, the steel wall was melting at a visible rate under the attack of the acid.

Tie Zha’s eyes widened when he saw this scene. Perhaps a few more self-detonating weeping flies would crash into the same spot, and this seemingly solid city wall would be burned into a large hole. He hurriedly shouted at the walkie-talkie, “Attention, everyone! Attention, everyone! Prioritize shooting at the self-detonating weeping flies!”

“Yes, sir!” “Alright!” “Yes, sir.” In an instant, the sound of gunfire echoed in the sky above the city wall …

The moment Tie Zha roared at the walkie-talkie, a weeping fly pulled its head and ran at top speed. In the blink of an eye, it rushed to the foot of the city wall, then bent down and kicked. The strong hind legs picked up large chunks of dirt, soared into the air, and fiercely pounced on the city wall. With sharp claws, they hooked onto the metal wall, creating white scratches that followed suit. The moment he climbed onto the city wall, he forcefully kicked it, opened his bloody mouth, and flew towards the human in front of him.

Facing the sudden change, Tie Zha’s pupils shrank. He lowered his head and grabbed the hilt of the sword. As he drew the sword out of its sheath, he spun up and swept his sword across it!

“Shua!” With a light sound, the oncoming Chrysopa suddenly stopped. Its body was staggered, and the sticky green blood immediately sprayed out. In the end, it broke into two pieces and quietly slid down the city wall.

Tie Zha sheathed his sword and walked to the edge of the city wall, staring at the battle below.

At this time, a small number of weeping flies had already climbed up the city wall. Although their numbers weren’t large, they were extremely difficult for most soldiers. In order to avoid accidentally injuring their allies, they could not use thermal weapons and could only draw out daggers or put on bayonets to engage them in melee combat. The weeping flies were originally swarms of bee ants born for close combat. They had sharp claws, sensitive bodies, and extremely strong biting power. For a moment, the city wall was in a mess. The soldiers fought with the Screaming Chrysanthemums that had climbed up the city wall one after another, and their flesh and blood instantly flew everywhere as they howled endlessly.

Seeing this, Wang Hu hurriedly summoned the porcupine, match, Tuoba San, Marcus, Jerome, and other traditional evolvers to form a melee squad to kill the weeping flies that climbed up the city wall.

With the killing of six people, the situation on the city wall had improved, and the soldiers were able to concentrate on shooting at the swarm of insects below.

Moments later, the first wave of insect hordes left behind corpses everywhere and gradually retreated.

Looking at the flock of weeping flies that were like ebbing tide, Tie Zha heavily exhaled. According to the textbook, the first wave of bee insects is usually a tentative attack aimed at testing human firepower. The next wave of insects was the real beginning.

However, once the swarm attacked in full swing, there would be no retreat, and they would become even more crazy and persistent. Because if they couldn’t take down the stronghold, the losses would be very heavy. The reason why the swarm of bees and insects were not afraid of death and injury was because the dead corpses would be recycled by them and become nutrients for the larvae, while the human corpses would also become one of their many nutrients. Therefore, as long as they could take down the stronghold, they wouldn’t cause much damage.

However, before the Thunderous Beast and the Thorn Bug could enter the battle, Tie Zha felt a little exhausted. The thorn insects had to be dealt with by artillery. Otherwise, once they were allowed to stand firmly on their feet, a rain of sharp spikes would fall. The Thunderous Beast’s impact was extremely strong, and with the cooperation of the self-detonating Cry Flying, it wasn’t long before the city wall would be broken. At that time, he could only retreat to defend the fortress.

The moment he retreated to defend the fortress, he was not far from falling completely.

I don’t know when the reinforcements will arrive. Perhaps there won’t be any reinforcements at all. There’s no way to spread the news here. By the time Eva Green noticed the change, they were already buried in the sea of worms.

Thinking of this, Tie Zha shook his head and threw the idea out of his mind. Regardless of whether he had reinforcements or not, he had to fight to the end, because there was no way out now. Looking around, the swarm of insects surrounded the stronghold on three levels, and it was estimated that not even a bird would be able to fly out of the stronghold.

Afterwards, Tie Zha gathered his emotions and walked to the edge of the city wall. He spat out a mouthful of saliva at the corpse of the Weeping Chrysopa below.
