286: The bugs are coming from the west

The earth shook, yellow sand swirled, and countless Zerg finally couldn't hide, emerging from the yellow sand.

Han Huohuo gasped. All kinds of Zerg, stretching as far as the eye could see, made him feel as if he was back in Snow Wave City facing the Undead. These Zerg were shaken out of the Desert by the earthquake and began to frantically attack Three-Color City.

The Avengers opened fire first. These Avengers, without command, automatically attacked the most threatening Zerg.

Several Zerg, clearly responsible for commanding, hid in the distance, emitting strange sound waves. All the Zerg changed according to the fluctuations of the sound waves, but they were discovered by the Avengers and directly shot through.

With the command Zerg killed, the Zerg became chaotic and began to blindly attack the city walls.

Flamethrowers stood in the front row of the city wall, spraying flames, incinerating all the Sandworms that had painstakingly swum across the moat and reached the base of the city wall.

The city walls were built on solid foundations, with sturdy bluestones directly connected to the bedrock dozens of meters deep. Sandworms could only move through the yellow sand and could not directly penetrate the rock, much less pass through the city wall from underground. Moreover, there was a deep moat in front, which was designed to defend against Zerg from the very beginning.

Even without the earthquake, these Zerg could only emerge from the ground and begin their assault.

Han Xin couldn't come. Although he had stopped attacking the Angel Kingdom, he was still confronting the Angels on the front line. After analyzing Hua Mulan's report, he offered a suggestion.

“Artillery, bombers!”

Subsequently, a large number of artillery and bombers arrived, and the Mechanical Legion began to heavily bombard the Zerg.

Magic, however, had limited damage against these Zerg. A thundercloud storm would pass, and all the Zerg would burrow into the sand. When the thundercloud storm dissipated, the Zerg would reappear in front of the moat.

The bombers' killing power was more direct, capable of blowing away the yellow sand, creating a sky full of flying sand, with the sand filled with Zerg corpses.

The Mechanical Legion was gathering at Three-Color City, and the Zerg were also gathering there.

The Zerg were even more annoying than the Undead, scurrying everywhere, and the acidic venom they spat out was extremely corrosive to mechanical units.

Han Xin was more decisive than Han Huohuo.

He quickly moved most of the Mechanical Legion to Three-Color City.

The Zerg could not resist and suffered heavy casualties, beginning to retreat. Han Huohuo, however, was not having it. Riding Northern Darkness, and leading gundams and bombers, he pursued them with his entire air force.

He pursued them for thousands of miles, even reaching Rakshasa Country.

The further Han Huohuo pursued, the more alarmed he became.

The entire Rakshasa Country had been completely reduced to ruins, with broken walls and shattered remnants. Looking down from the sky, not a single living person was seen, only Zerg. From a distance, there were even more of them than the Undead.

Had Rakshasa Country been destroyed by the Zerg?

Han Huohuo had previously worried about retaliation from Rakshasa Country, but he hadn't expected them to be annihilated by the Zerg first. But where did these Zerg come from?

Han Huohuo led the air force, flying thousands of miles westward, and everywhere he went, there was a Zerg tide.

Until he saw another Zerg King leading Zerg, and behind that Zerg King, there were several other identical Zerg Kings.

Each Zerg King led countless Zerg.

Han Huohuo wondered, why did these Zerg suddenly attack now, and where exactly did they come from?

The Zerg King's power was too great, and Han Huohuo only had the air force. He didn't want to risk getting close, so he commanded Northern Darkness to fly back to Three-Color City.

He saw a large number of mechanical workers building an airfield. Although these Zerg had the ability to shoot at high altitudes, they didn't have the abnormal ultra-long-range units like Liches, and none of them could fly, so using bombers against them was the most suitable approach.

The Zerg came suddenly and without any warning, which infuriated Han Huohuo, completely disrupting his plans, as if someone was deliberately targeting him.

But Three-Color City was a red jade mine, and it absolutely could not be lost.

Han Huohuo found Huo Yuan.

He was somewhat serious today: “Do you trust me?”

Huo Yuan was very surprised: “Da Ge, of course I trust you!”

Han Huohuo nodded: “If you trust me, transfer the crystal to Tongtian City. It's too dangerous here.”

Transferring one's own crystal to another Lord's city was tantamount to entrusting one's life to another, which explained why Han Huohuo spoke so cautiously.

Huo Yuan, however, said without hesitation: “Okay, I'll transfer the crystal immediately. Let me just tell my brothers.”

Watching Huo Yuan leave, Han Huohuo knew he was a smart man. Currently, they were facing low-level Zerg, but behind them were Zerg Kings, with astonishing combat power. Han Huohuo had fought in dungeons before, and it was hard to say if there were other, higher-level Zerg on this planet.

Hongyu City was too dangerous.

Huo Yuan's brothers trusted him greatly and quickly reached an agreement. On the same day, they moved all the crystal to Tongtian City. Han Huohuo specifically had Mu Jiu construct a defensive fortification to protect these crystals.

With the danger averted, Huo Yuan and his brothers breathed a sigh of relief, putting their minds at ease.

The crystal had been evacuated, but they did not evacuate themselves. They remained on the front line, helping Han Huohuo fight.

Han Huohuo did not refuse.

These Lords had great potential. After reaching three or four advancements, they would far surpass the Epic Heroes here, so Han Huohuo also began to deliberately cultivate some trustworthy Lords.

The Zerg King arrived faster than expected. When the first Zerg King appeared in the distance, Han Huohuo's fifty prepared Avengers fired together, and after three rounds of shooting, they directly eliminated the Zerg King.

What if it's an Eighth-Tier? You can't withstand sheer numbers, especially top-tier snipers like the Avengers, who are specifically designed to hunt bosses.

Unfortunately, it was too far to retrieve the spoils of war.

Kill first, then worry about it!

Han Huohuo began to directly confront the Zerg. Seven days later, almost the entire Mechanical Army retreated from the Angel Kingdom front line and joined the campaign to exterminate the Zerg.

The Undead Army on the other side immediately felt the pressure.

Sandru was studying a map.

He had just received news of the Zerg attacking Han Huohuo and was somewhat surprised, as the timing was too coincidental.

His hand traced across the map.

Han Huohuo's main camp was very far from where the Zerg outbreak occurred, tens of thousands of kilometers away.

But the Undead covered the entire Ice Field. The Undead had three paths to reach the Great Qian Empire, but they had many paths to reach the Zerg outbreak area in the west.

From the map, the Undead were actually adjacent to the Zerg.

Sandru pondered, perhaps he could do something.

While Han Huohuo was in a state of agitation, an Undead raven flew to Three-Color City, delivering a letter from Sandru.

“April 20th! The Undead will attack!”

Sandru gave a date, and Han Huohuo suddenly realized that the Undead were preparing to send troops from the Zerg's flank to help him.

Three days later was April 20th, so this was the date for the Undead's mobilization.
