230: Swarm vs. Lone Wolf: The First Head-on Clash
Su Bai laughed loudly, "Don't worry! Neither I nor you will die!"
"Lord, in ten minutes, the enemy will reach an area five kilometers away from the territory." Kerrigan stepped forward and said quickly.
Without hesitation, Su Bai said in a deep voice: "Dehaka, Abathur, you each lead one-third of the Zerg Swarm and outflank them from both sides! This time, we must seal the pocket tightly and absolutely not let the enemy escape!"
"Yes, Lord!"
Dehaka and Abathur led the Zerg Swarm and departed from the flanks.
"Catching a turtle in a jar! It seems you are full of confidence and don't take these Lone Wolves seriously at all!" A hint of excitement appeared in An Ruoyun's eyes.
"You could also say, beating a dog behind closed doors!" Su Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, "Kerrigan, lead the remaining Zerg Swarm and advance with me, so as not to fight near the territory later and damage the buildings within the territory."
"Yes!"
Kerrigan responded.
"Do you need my Merman Soldiers to assist in the battle?" An Ruoyun asked repeatedly.
"To eliminate this trash, we don't need so many soldiers, but if you want to watch the excitement, you can come with me."
With that, Su Bai led the Zerg Swarm and rapidly advanced in the direction of the attacking Lone Wolf Alliance.
An Ruoyun followed closely behind with her Merman Soldiers.
Not long after.
The two sides met head-on.
"This kid is Su Bai!"
Lowell's eyes lit up, and he raised his arm, pointing at Su Bai, "It's him! He led the Zerg Swarm to destroy my territory. He must be torn to pieces to appease the hatred in my heart!"
"Don't worry, no Lord can withstand the attack of the Lone Wolf Alliance!"
Piao Yongjun carried his black battle-axe on his shoulder and walked out leisurely, his voice full of arrogance.
"You're the one called Su Bai, aren't you?"
Su Bai stood still and sneered: "Han Country Sticks, watch your mouth! Your grandpa doesn't change his name when he walks, nor his surname when he sits; I am indeed Su Bai! What, are you here to deliver yourselves to death as a group?"
At the same time, lines of information popped up.
【Lone Wolf: Piao Yongjun】
【Nationality: South Korea】
【Level: Lv36】
【Talent: Unknown】
【Skills: Unknown】
【Beast Race Special Blessing: Strength Mastery】
"Su Bai, you're on the verge of death, yet you still dare to be so arrogant! Yesterday, you destroyed my territory, and today, I will make sure you die without a burial place!"
Lowell glared, his face full of smugness.
"You had a path to heaven but didn't take it; you chose to go to hell even though there was no gate! Do you think you can kill me with just a dozen helpers?" Su Bai smiled disdainfully, not even giving him a direct look.
Piao Yongjun picked up his battle-axe and pointed at Su Bai: "A kid who just became a Lord dares to be so arrogant?"
"Even if you topped the newly promoted lord ranking, with outstanding talent and infinite potential, what good is it without time to develop?"
"I'll give you two choices. First, have your head chopped off by my battle-axe."
"Second, give up your Lord status, become a Lone Wolf, and join us."
Upon hearing this, Lowell on the side looked a bit anxious, "Are we just going to let him go like that?"
"Of course not!"
Piao Yongjun's eyes were sinister, and he gave a chilling laugh: "If you choose the second path, Su Bai, you'll need to cut off one of your arms to join us!"
"Damn it! You bastards, shut up!" An Ruoyun couldn't help but curse.
"You actually have an Affiliated Lord." Piao Yongjun turned his head and fixed his gaze on Su Bai, "You offended the Americans, so you must pay the price. I'm already very merciful; as long as both of you cut off an arm and become Lone Wolves, I will spare you."
"Even if all your limbs are severed, today, I will never spare you!" Su Bai's face was stern, and he said each word clearly: "Zhao Ganwu, was he killed by you?"
"As expected, that bitch tipped you off!" Piao Yongjun said bitterly.
"Who killed him?" Su Bai's voice deepened.
Piao Yongjun shrugged, a triumphant look on his face: "That's right, I killed him! Zhao Ganwu, that sick man of Dragon Country, was truly stubborn, so I had no choice but to kill him."
"Today, all of you will die!" Su Bai clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with a fierce, fiery gaze: "If I let you escape, I won't be called Su!"
Piao Yongjun burst into laughter, his eyes full of contempt.
"The one who dies, I'm afraid, will be you, right?"
"Oh, and that Zhao Ganwu, he died a miserable death. He was killed by me trying to save you, hahaha!"
"His body is at our camp; when I go back, I'll feed it to wild dogs!"
"After I kill you later, you will also enjoy the same treatment as Zhao Ganwu; your body will be fed to wild dogs!"
Including Lowell, the other fifteen Lone Wolves burst into a chorus of mocking laughter.
Su Bai's voice was cold, his eyes filled with killing intent: "Very good, you have successfully enraged me! I swear, I will make your lives worse than death!"
Through mental sensory transmission, he issued the command for the Zerg Swarm to advance with full force.
Dehaka and Abathur led the Zerg Swarm, appearing from the flanks and the rear.
Coupled with the Zerg Swarm led by Kerrigan from the front, an airtight encirclement had already formed.
"Tens of thousands of Zerg soldiers, I did underestimate you a bit."
"However, the highest level of these Zerg soldiers is only level nineteen."
"And the powerhouses of our Lone Wolf Alliance, each of them can take on ten thousand."
"Even if there were a hundred thousand Zerg soldiers, I wouldn't bat an eye."
Piao Yongjun looked around, his pupils reflecting the dense Zerg Swarm, but there was no trace of fear on his face.
Once, when he was level thirty, he had single-handedly killed over ten thousand level eighteen Kobold Warriors.
Now, he was already level thirty-six.
Naturally, he believed that annihilating these Zerg soldiers, none of whom exceeded level twenty, would be easy and effortless.
In addition, fifteen Lone Wolves stood behind Piao Yongjun, which made him even more confident.
"Zerg Swarm, full attack! Devour the enemies before you alive!"
Su Bai waved his hand and shouted loudly.
The first to strike were 3,000 Devourers.
The spiral nozzles on their backs glowed with dazzling bright yellow light.
Three thousand Flame Cannonballs, sixty centimeters in diameter, shot out like erupting lava.
"Be careful! This Zerg soldier is comparable to a mortar, and its power is immense. My territory was bombed into ruins by these fiery red cannonballs."
Lowell looked up, a hint of apprehension in his eyes.
"Don't worry, my subordinates are not to be trifled with." Piao Yongjun's expression remained unchanged, appearing very confident: "Prepare for defense!"
Four Lone Wolves simultaneously threw out the square shields in their hands.
The next moment.
The four square shields expanded rapidly in the wind.
Above everyone's heads, they formed a giant shield.
The surface of the shield glowed with a faint silver light, appearing indestructible.
"This is a skill they cast together; its defense is exceptional. Even a level forty Lone Wolf might not be able to break through it, let alone these trash bugs."
Piao Yongjun's gaze was firm, and he appeared very confident: "After defending against this wave of attacks, everyone will actively attack, break through the Zerg Swarm formation, and prioritize killing Su Bai."
"With your words, I'm relieved." Lowell relaxed and began to ponder how he would humiliate Su Bai later.
Three seconds later.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Violent explosions rang out.
In an instant, tiny cracks appeared on the giant shield.
The four Lone Wolves seemed to be struck in the chest, and they suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"How... how could this be!"
"It's just two or three thousand level nineteen mutated Zerg, and your four-person joint defensive combat technique is already showing signs of cracking?"
Piao Yongjun's pupils suddenly contracted, and the smile on his face abruptly vanished.
He roared: "What are you standing around for? A few of you come and help hold it, otherwise, if the shield breaks, we'll be taking hits for nothing."
Another four Lone Wolves extended their hands and released skills, adding a layer of white energy light film to the surface of the giant shield.
The tottering giant shield finally stabilized.
"Damn it! As soon as the battle started, half of my subordinates were tied up. Why is the attack power of these Zerg soldiers so strong?" Piao Yongjun's brow furrowed tightly, completely devoid of his previous arrogance and inflated ego.
The other Lone Wolves also spoke up one after another:
"What exactly is going on? Didn't they say the Zerg were the weakest, so why do they possess such terrifying attack power?"
"Even the fireballs from tens of thousands of Flame Goblins couldn't shake the giant shield one bit, but these two or three thousand bugs, how did they manage to crack the shield?"
"I suggest we immediately engage the Zerg Swarm in close combat; only then can we inflict heavy casualties on them!"
"That's right! Otherwise, constantly being passively bombed, we'll eventually be unable to hold on!"
Piao Yongjun no longer hesitated, a decisive glint flashing in his eyes: "Come with me, and charge towards Su Bai!"
On the other side.
Su Bai stood on the head of the Young Thunder Beast, and seeing these Lone Wolves actually withstand three rounds of bombing from three thousand Devourers, a hint of admiration couldn't help but appear in his eyes.
"They are Lone Wolves after all; their individual combat power is formidable, definitely much stronger than ordinary heroes."
The next moment.
When he saw these Lone Wolves charging over with their shields up.
Su Bai's mouth curved into an arc, "It seems the continuous bombardment of Flame Cannonballs is causing you a lot of pain!"
"But if you think charging over will avoid passive bombing, then you are greatly mistaken!"
"This will only make you die faster!"
Kerrigan, Dehaka, and Abathur led the Zerg Swarm, launching a charge from three directions.
Hydralisks and Roaches launched ranged attacks.
Tens of thousands of bone spines, mixed with thick acidic saliva, pressed forward.
Piao Yongjun's battle-axe glowed black as he swept it forward.
A huge shockwave, carrying immense momentum, covered an area of over ten meters in front.
bone spines and acidic saliva were all dissolved.
The other Lone Wolves also displayed their individual skills, defending against the ranged attacks of the Hydralisks and Roaches.
Some held up a water shield, others summoned an earth giant, or cast area-of-effect damaging skills.
However, the Hydralisks, Roaches, and Devourers had high intensity, high density, and long-lasting ranged attacks.
The sixteen Lone Wolves struggled to defend, sweat pouring down their foreheads, their stamina and mental energy rapidly depleting.
One minute later.
They had only advanced fifty meters in Su Bai's direction.
But the cost was one death and three injuries.
The overall defensive pressure instantly increased greatly.
"Damn it! What kind of Zerg are these? How can they be so powerful?" Piao Yongjun's face was extremely ugly, as if he had stuffed a handful of moldy pig feed into his mouth.
"Could it be that a dozen Lone Wolves still can't defeat Su Bai?" Lowell's expression was complex, his face constantly changing.
According to previous experience, Piao Yongjun and his Lone Wolves would have no problem even annihilating a hundred thousand level twenty Kobold Warriors or Goblin soldiers.
They could even sweep and crush Orc Warriors and Elf Swordsmen.
But today, facing Su Bai's Zerg Swarm, they could only passively take hits, completely unable to retaliate.
"This is like boiling a frog in warm water; if this continues, we might die of exhaustion! To catch the bandits, first catch the ringleader; we must kill Su Bai first!"
Piao Yongjun gritted his teeth, a hint of madness appearing in his eyes: "You guys hold on, wait for me to carve a path, then charge over together."
With that, Piao Yongjun, holding his battle-axe, charged in Su Bai's direction.
A series of bone-cracking sounds appeared.
In an instant, his body grew a meter taller, and his arm muscles bulged, full of power.
"Die for me!"
The battle-axe swept across, and powerful energy surged.
Hundreds of Zerglings that charged over were heavily sent flying.
"Is this the special blessing of the Beast Race—Strength Mastery? It's indeed formidable!" Su Bai couldn't help but praise.
No wonder so many people voluntarily gave up their Lord status, melted the territory stone, absorbed the essence of troop types, and became a Lone Wolf.
With such fierce combat power, even without a territory and soldiers, they could still survive.
However, compared to my sixty thousand Zerg Swarm, all of this is fleeting.
"Su Bai, I'm going to kill you!" Piao Yongjun shouted: "Brothers, charge with me!"
"Kill!"
The other Lone Wolves roared and quickly charged forward.
Just then, round Banelings, carrying green acid sacs, rolled forward, charging at these Lone Wolves.
Piao Yongjun raised his battle-axe, about to strike.
"Crushing Grip!"
Kerrigan made a grasping motion with her right hand, and a powerful psionic force instantly erupted.
Piao Yongjun and the others, being higher level and having stronger resistance, could not be stunned.
But their speed visibly slowed down.
In a flash.
The Banelings arrived.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Explosions, one after another, echoed throughout the entire world.
These Lone Wolves, even with their high levels and strong individual combat power, were no match for the sheer number of Banelings and simply couldn't resist.
Dismembered limbs flew everywhere.
Blood flowed freely, and the scene was extremely gory.
Thirty seconds later.
The Banelings stopped their charge.
The dust settled.
Within the field of vision, there were only broken human corpses.
Only two people remained standing.
"What... what kind of monster is this!"
Lowell's hair was disheveled, his face filled with despair, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
"Su, Su Bai, you're not human! You actually killed all my subordinates. Aren't you afraid of offending the Lone Wolf Alliance?"
Piao Yongjun felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his body cold, his face pale, completely devoid of color.
He felt a tearing pain in his wounds.
But despair and fear took over, making him ignore the pain.
