Last Totem Novel - Chapter 252

Chapter 252 Scorpion
Afterwards, Tier Stronghold’s highest commander, Tie Zha, personally took out a new white sheet and covered it with the gradually cold corpses as the soldiers wept silently.

Not long after sending off Captain Nick, Song Haohe brought the other three captains to Tie Zha and reported the latest battle situation to him. At present, most of the weeping flies had been cleared out of the stronghold. The soldiers had recaptured the city wall, and the mecha squadron had regained order. They began to launch artillery attacks on the Thorn Formation in the northeast and southwest. However, the number of flying flies circling over the stronghold wasn’t decreasing. Instead, it was gradually increasing. It seemed that this war wouldn’t end so easily.

Tie Zha crossed his hands in front of his chest, lowered his head, and listened carefully to Song Haohe’s battle report. A moment later, he raised his head and looked at the latter. He said seriously, “I know you’re here to save her, but she’s my woman now, so …” The iron slag stopped and changed its threatening tone. “Please stay away from her,” he said in a deep voice.

Halfway through the military intelligence discussion, the top commander of the stronghold, Sa Jia Qi, suddenly said something out of place. Not only was Song Hao He stunned, even the other three commanders were unable to react.

“Uh” Although Song Haohe’s face was slightly pale and slightly embarrassed, he quickly reacted after hundreds of battles. He scratched his head and said, “Understood” As he spoke, his gaze involuntarily fell behind Sa Chacha. A pretty girl stood there and looked at Qin Ke’er, who was known as one of the top ten beauties of Egret Lake. At this moment, Qin Ke’er was staring blankly at the former. Her sparkling and translucent eyes revealed an indescribable affection. She moved deeper and deeper, as if no one else was watching. He couldn’t help but frown and warn, “You seem to have a girlfriend. Isn’t this good? Can you give her happiness?”

“How many women do I have to do with you?” Tie Zha said bluntly.

‘”Uh” Song Haohe was instantly stuck speechless. After a while, he patted his head and sighed. Then, he spread out his hands and helplessly said, “You are the commander, you are the boss, it’s up to you.”

“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded his head in satisfaction and then said indifferently, “But …” At the same time, he extended his hand to this tall and handsome Silver City noble. His tone changed and he sincerely said, “Friend, thank you for coming.”

“However” Song Haohe said in a long voice, not holding Tie Zha’s hand. Instead, he shrugged his shoulders and said, “Obviously, I’m not here to save you.” In the meantime, Song Haohe, who had always been at a disadvantage, had finally pulled back a game for himself and regained a sense of superiority.

“Friends, I sincerely thank you for coming.” Facing Song Haohe’s small movements, Tie Zha acted as if nothing had happened. As he spoke, he calmly turned his hand to the other three Guild Leaders and shook hands with them one by one. During this period of time, Iron Slag’s movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water. He did not feel the slightest bit frustrated, nor did he reveal any embarrassing expression. It was as if everything was natural and logical.

Seeing the two rivals pinch each other, the three Guild Leaders all had a wooden expression on their faces. These people who could be the Guild Leader were naturally human geniuses. It was best to pretend to be invisible, incomprehensible, and confused at such a time.

At this moment, Song Haohe suddenly felt that something was wrong. After all, Commander Sa Jia Qi was currently the highest commander of Tyre Stronghold. It would be very easy for him to wear small shoes. So he stretched out his hand, wanting to grab the other party. However, Sa Cha Cha had already quietly retracted her hand, as if she did not see his movements. Song Haohe could only smile embarrassedly and casually put down his hand.

“Why don’t we go out and take a look at the situation?” In a slightly awkward atmosphere, Guild Leader Cheng Tong Owen made timely suggestions.

“Alright.” “Yes.” Tie Zha and Song Haohe nodded in agreement. The two of them exchanged glances with each other, their gazes filled with confusion.

“Brothers are still bleeding” Seeing this, another Guild Leader couldn’t help but remind him.

A moment later, the five Guild Leaders stepped onto the city wall in the northwest and quietly observed the situation on the battlefield. At this time, basic order had been restored in the stronghold. The soldiers were guarding the four city walls, and the mecha squadron was also lined up. They continuously fired artillery shells and bombarded the distant Thorn Bug Squadron. The battle had entered a stalemate. Although there were still quite a few swarm of insects, they would not be able to attack for a while. Perhaps if they persisted for a while longer, the swarm would retreat.

Compared to the other four Guild Leaders, Tie Zha had a broader vision. At this moment, he was directing hundreds of scouting soldiers to wander around the edge of the battlefield, but he could not find the leader behind this wave of insects.

Where the hell is it? Are they lurking outside the detection range of the soldiers?

“Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp”

In the blink of an eye, the flying flies circling above the stronghold suddenly let out a loud scream. Then, they scattered like a nest of horses that had fallen to the ground with a buzzing sound. In an instant, the scattered fleet of flying flies was like a dark cloud pushed away by a large hand, instantly restoring the previous calm to the sky. In an instant, 10,000 feet of dawn returned to the earth, plating the damaged human stronghold with a faint golden color. The swarm of weeping flies on the ground also retreated back to their positions like ebbing tides following the departure of the swarm of flying flies.

“What’s going on?” Song Haohe frowned and asked the others.

“Looks like we won.” Cheng Tong Owen smiled and said.

“Impossible” Tie Zha frowned deeply and lowered his head. The swarm of insects retreated without warning. It was somewhat abnormal. Although they could not attack for the time being, they still held a huge advantage in numbers. If they persevered, perhaps the outcome of the war would be hard to say.

“We won! We won!” “They’ve retreated, they don’t dare to come!” “Victory! Victory!” After a moment of silence, bursts of cheers erupted from the city walls. Looking around, he saw the soldiers raising their weapons and shouting at the top of their lungs.

“Did we really win?” Song Haohe couldn’t help but turn around and look at Tie Zha.

‘”Perhaps” Tie Zha hesitantly raised his head and stared at the other party.

However, just as he spoke, the sky suddenly darkened! Above the clouds, there was a sudden change!

“Ah … Ah … Ah … Ah … Ah … Ah … Ah … Ah …”

Along with a long and muffled eruption, green pillars of light shot towards the stronghold from the deep sky. In an instant, that spectacular scene flew down like stars, and a rain of fire descended …

In the blink of an eye, Tyre Stronghold had turned into a purgatory.

On the city wall, a thick wooden pillar-like green light flashed past. A Great Wall “escort” mecha trembled slightly. After the green light passed, only two lonely mechanical legs that emitted wisps of green smoke remained. The upper body had already disappeared, as if it had disappeared from the world.

Wherever the azure light went, it was devastating, steel shattered, stone walls collapsed, flesh and blood turned into steam, life turned into dust …

The moment the apocalypse arrived, before the Guild Leaders could say anything, they followed the fleeing crowd into the fortress.

At this moment, the hall on the first floor was in chaos. People were pushing each other. The terrified shouts rose and fell one after another, and the entire building was shaking violently. Graystone powder fell from the walls one after another, and light bulbs and tubes exploded one after another. People looked helplessly at the ceiling that could collapse at any moment like a flock of chicks in a storm, panicking and trembling.

“Calm down!” ‘”Calm down!” “Don’t panic!” “Everyone, don’t panic!” Song Haohe and the three Guild Leaders shouted, trying to restore order in the hall, but to no avail.

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”

The loud gunshots echoed in the hall, and the people gradually quieted down. Tie Zha raised his Merrill Lynch revolver and looked around. Then, he said in a calm, low voice, “Whoever makes any noise, die!”

“I repeat, whoever makes any noise will be executed on the spot.” After saying that, Tie Zha raised his gun and with a “whoosh” sound, he threw out the high-speed revolving cartridge cabin in front of everyone’s eyes. He quickly loaded the bullets and pointed at Song Haohe beside him. He calmly asked, “Are you still noisy?”

Song Haohe rolled his eyes and said loudly, “Stop!”

“Very good.” Tie Zha put away the large revolver and patted the former on the shoulder as encouragement. However, the former did not seem to appreciate it and curled his lips in disdain.

“If this place had collapsed, it would have collapsed long ago” Tie Zha widened his eyes and swept across everyone’s faces. “Clean up the hall on the first floor, move the wounded to the second floor, then bring over the shelves, beds, wardrobes, and tables and chairs. Set up a front and move now!” If he guessed correctly, after this round of shooting, the swarm of weeping flies would return and swarm over.

“Yes!” “Yes, Commander.” “Okay, boss.” Everyone responded. Some of them raised their wounded soldiers and climbed up to the second floor. Some of them moved furniture and stacked the bunker walls.

Just as everyone was carrying out their orders in full swing, the five Guild Leaders gathered together to discuss their next plan.

‘”Scorpions, they actually sent Scorpions” Cheng Tong Owen lowered his head and sighed. “It seems like we are doomed this time …”

Scorpion is a swarm of Queen Bees, belonging to a large airborne combat unit. Its flight principle is similar to a human helium airship, and it can stay in the air for a long time. The Scorpion was extremely large, equivalent to a medium-sized human aircraft. Its carapace was exceptionally sturdy, like a moving fortress made of steel, but its disadvantage was that its flight speed was relatively slow.

Scorpions are equivalent to ultra-long-range artillery cannons in a swarm of wasp ants. They can produce tiny acid spores in their bodies and eject them at high temperatures and pressures. According to the analysis of the scholars, there are two circular channels in the body of Scorpion. Its acceleration principle is similar to the acceleration of Gaussian weapon’s magnetic field, which can produce great power. Although the firing range is not as high as that of human cannons, the accuracy of firing is extremely high, which is incomparable to cannons. Its longest effective range can even reach 10 km, and the forward and backward errors will not exceed 60 meters. Coupled with their aerial superiority, they were simply a nightmare that humans would never wake up from.

As a long-range killing weapon for bee ants and insects, Scorpion’s strategic position was very special. Its value far surpassed that of other arms, and sometimes even surpassed that of some Abyss Hegemons. In a real war, the main mission of the flying flies and sting bees was not to charge forward, but to protect the scorpions and form a scorpion colony.

Fortunately, Scorpions were extremely expensive to produce, so they rarely moved. Normally, they would only appear in medium-sized battles.

Amongst humans, the only one who could effectively deal with the Scorpion Cluster was the psionic army …

Cheng Tong Owen remembered that half a year ago, in an open class on “Bee Ant Colony Tactical Architecture”, a student asked the professor, “Is there a stronger force than the Scorpion Colony?”

The old professor raised his thick glasses and replied, “Yes.” Then, he paused and said, “Crimson Scorpion Cluster.”

Judging from the azure pillar of light earlier, they might have been attacked by the Crimson Scorpion …

“Xie Te! The cannons are shooting at mosquitoes. As for it!” Thinking of this, Cheng Tong Owen couldn’t help but curse.

In addition,
