285: Insect swarm appears in Tricolor City
Retreat back to our own world?
But this great feast, this great land, it's truly hard to part with.
In the end, greed prevailed. The light cluster thought, it's not too late to retreat after we gain more benefits, for example, first devour a continent.
The battle was fierce.
Han Xin commanded the battle, continuously compressing the Angel Kingdom's front line with minimal casualties. The Angel Kingdom kept shrinking its battle lines.
Han Huohuo and Thor were mixed in with the Mechanical Army, watching an Angel in the sky swinging a giant flaming sword down.
A Titan's thunderbolt struck, causing the Angel to be a bit flustered. Han Huohuo sinisterly sent a flying sword stealthily through.
The Angel couldn't dodge in time and was pierced by the flying sword, then his expression turned ferocious.
He looked down at his hand, which was rapidly corroding and turning black.
“No!”
The immense fear made him let out a deafening roar.
All the Angels on the battlefield turned to look and saw a decaying Angel turning into ashes, falling from the sky.
No white light escaped; this Angel was completely dead.
The death of an Angel is called 'fall', and it is more terrifying than the death of ordinary people. Ordinary people turn into Undead upon death, but Angels, upon death, turn into Chaos from which there is no return.
A cage where the soul is tormented forever!
When Han Huohuo attacked just now, he secretly shot a chaos coin into the Angel's body, and the Angel instantly collapsed.
All the Angels were so frightened they couldn't fly steadily and turned to flee together.
The allied forces charged forward, and a deserted city was recaptured by them.
An Angel would fall occasionally, which caused great panic among the Angels. Soon, all Angels knew that there was a Chaos power among the enemies.
This was too terrifying.
The Angels' morale was in disarray, and their resistance became increasingly perfunctory. Han Xin commanded the army, continuously advancing towards Phoenix City.
The situation was excellent.
The light cluster was a bit helpless; it also couldn't resist Chaos and once again had the idea of retreating back into the rift.
They couldn't fight anymore; the Angels' morale had collapsed.
Just as it was panicking, a sudden change occurred. It unexpectedly discovered that the allied forces had stopped their attack.
This allowed the Angel army to finally catch their breath.
What happened?
Could it be that the Seamstress still couldn't resist making a move?
...
Just as Han Huohuo was about to press the advantage, an urgent report came from Three-Color City: something had happened in the direction of Rakshasa Country!
Three-Color City is a red jade producing area, so Han Huohuo didn't dare to delay. He quickly took Thor to Three-Color City to investigate the situation, instructing Han Xin to temporarily halt the offensive.
Han Huohuo hastily returned to Tongtian City, then immediately teleported to Three-Color City.
Only one B-grade Hero, named Wu Ding, was stationed in Three-Color City. Huo Yuan was also there.
Seeing that everything in Three-Color City was normal, Han Huohuo breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the situation wasn't too serious yet.
“What happened? Why were you so anxious to inform me?”
Wu Ding looked at Huo Yuan; clearly, Huo Yuan was the one who discovered the problem.
It turned out that after Taize died last time, Huo Yuan was worried about retaliation from Rakshasa Country. He had been sending out scouts to investigate the movements of Rakshasa Country, and he indeed discovered something abnormal.
Huo Yuan quickly stood up, cupped his hands, and said, “Da Ge, my scouts discovered that after General Taize of Rakshasa Country died here, they raised another several hundred thousand troops to attack this place. Our Hongyu City is very nervous.”
Upon hearing this, Han Huohuo realized it was indeed a major event and quickly asked, “Where are their troops? Let's quickly organize our defenses.”
Huo Yuan's expression was a bit strange: “Da Ge, what happened next was peculiar. This large army suddenly disappeared on its way to attack us, and then my scouts also disappeared. I later sent out many more scouts, but all of them vanished without a trace, and no information could be sent back. I felt something strange was happening, which is why I urgently asked Da Ge Wu Ding to inform you.”
Han Huohuo was stunned upon hearing this.
Did they encounter ghosts?
He specifically deployed several reconnaissance radars, sending them to see what exactly happened in Rakshasa Country.
These radars could transmit information in real-time.
The few people watched a screen displaying the intelligence from these radars.
Bang!
The radar suddenly exploded, seeing nothing.
Han Huohuo looked shocked. It was only about a hundred kilometers from Three-Color City, which was already very close.
What happened?
Thor shook his head and spread his wings: “I'll go see what it is!”
Han Huohuo: “Be careful.”
Thor proudly raised his head: “There's nothing in this world that can instantly kill me.”
Han Huohuo believed this. Radars have low defense and are for low-altitude reconnaissance, with no offensive capabilities, so being suddenly destroyed was normal.
Thor flew into the sky, heading in that direction.
A group of people waited.
More than an hour later, Thor returned, his expression very strange.
“Did you find anything?”
“Lord, it's a bit strange. I didn't find anything, only a stretch of yellow sand…”
Han Huohuo's expression immediately changed.
He finally understood what was coming to attack.
He stood up and shouted loudly, “All humans, leave Three-Color City immediately! The Zerg swarm is coming soon.”
Upon hearing Han Huohuo's shout, everyone suddenly realized that Thor couldn't see the enemy because they must be hidden beneath the yellow sand, and the only things that could move under the yellow sand were Sandworm!
Huo Yuan's face was grim. He could escape, but the crystal could not.
Han Huohuo comforted him: “It's fine. Our Three-Color City is in the front, and your Hongyu City is behind. The Zerg will reach Three-Color City first.”
Han Huohuo immediately ordered Wu Ding to dispatch troops from Tongtian City, moving a large number of mechanical units here.
He prioritized deploying Flamethrower and Floating Turret.
The Zerg have low combat power, but their numbers are even greater than the Undead. Flamethrower are area-of-effect attackers and are very effective against Zerg.
Han Huohuo stood at the city gate, leading the way, carefully sensing the movement underground. The sheer terror of a Zerg swarm that could make hundreds of thousands of Rakshasa Country troops disappear silently was unimaginable.
Soon after, the Mechanical Army continuously arrived through the teleportation gate.
Han Huohuo was surprised to see dozens of Avengers and gundam also arriving. He looked at Wu Ding in confusion; he hadn't ordered Wu Ding to deploy these troops?
“General Han Xin ordered them to be deployed.”
“How did he know about this?”
“General Hua Mulan heard my report in Tongtian City. She immediately told General Han Xin. General Han Xin warned us not to underestimate the enemy. He has already paused the attack on Angel Kingdom and has moved some of the main forces here.”
Han Huohuo nodded. Among all the Heroes, he had only authorized Han Xin and Zheng He to deploy troops, so this made sense.
Hua Mulan was still worried about him here and specifically told Han Xin. That girl had now become Han Xin's fangirl and was more willing to trust Han Xin's judgment.
He, as the Boss, was truly a failure.
A strange fluctuation. Han Huohuo's ears immediately perked up, then he roared, took out the Ice Blade, and pointed it forward at the city gate.
A rumbling earthquake wave was released in a fan shape forward.
