101: Chapter 101 The True Insect Sea!

"Target locked, requesting permission to fire!"

Su Yang's eyes flickered. Want to compare whose is bigger?

"Fire!"

BOOM— It was as if a muffled thunderclap exploded in the center of the territory.

The cannon barrel recoiled, the earth trembled, and a massive shockwave rolled across the territory.

The Heaven-Burning Shell, nearly one and a half meters in diameter, roared into the sky, leaving a fiery red trail in its wake.

Fortunately, Su Yang had moved away from the ballista tower beforehand; otherwise, this shot would have sent him flying.

As the shell ascended, Su Yang immediately switched to the perspective of the garrison on the city wall.

He saw the blazing Heaven-Burning Shell reach its apex before plummeting rapidly.

It finally landed in the dense forest, almost at the very edge of his vision.

A towering inferno erupted, and the massive shockwave shattered all the nearby crystal spores.

BOOM— Seconds later, the sound of the explosion reached the territory, accompanied by intense ground tremors.

[Killed Level 10 Tyranid Stinger, command points +100 (20% bonus)]

[Killed Level 9 Tyranid Stinger, command points +90 (20% bonus)]

[Killed Level 10 Tyranid Explosive Exterminator, command points +900 (20% bonus)]

[Killed Level 8 Tyranid Spitting Insect, command points +95 (20% bonus)]

[Killed Level 8 Tyranid Stealth Bug, command points +160 (20% bonus)]

… A dense cascade of kill notifications flooded the panel like a tide.

The Exterminator and its defensive forces were reduced to ashes together.

[Killed Tyranid Explosive Exterminator]

[Obtained Common D-grade drop, Fuel Conversion Sac]

[Converts Biomass into Biomass Fuel; can unlock Biomass Fuel technology in the Xeno Experiment Station]

Along with the kill notifications, a loot drop notification also appeared.

Seeing the notification, Su Yang's eyes flickered. It was just as he had suspected—the Explosive Exterminator could unlock critical technology!

Suppressing his curiosity to check the specific details, Su Yang shifted his gaze to General Li Xin on the front line.

Although the Exterminator was dead and the Insect Swarm no longer had the strength to turn the tide.

The battle was not completely over, and it was not yet time to be careless.

When the perspective switched to the front line, General Li Xin had already dealt with four Giant Insects.

By handling the last two, and with the help of the ballista towers, all the Giant Insects could be taken care of.

As long as the Giant Insects were stopped, the remaining Insect Swarm would pose no threat.

Vroom— Whir— Rustle—

Only after switching to General Li Xin's perspective did he realize the true experience of the front line.

The sounds of explosions, the shrieks of Xenomorphs, the surging of shockwaves... various sounds flooded into his ears.

Explosive shockwaves, flying dirt, blood, and severed limbs... various images flashed chaotically before his eyes.

General Li Xin led Armored Elite Warrior Chen Wu's squad, advancing rapidly through the dense forest.

The squad members were responsible for dealing with the Xenomorphs emerging from all directions, while General Li Xin focused on sniping the Giant Insects underground.

Following Su Yang's instructions, General Li Xin quickly located and locked onto another Burrowing Giant Insect.

The power unit engaged, and the iron spear entered a charged state.

General Li Xin found the right angle and threw his spear into the ground.

CLANG—

The iron spear did not pierce the soil as General Li Xin had expected; instead, it hit something halfway and was deflected.

SHING—

A piercing metallic clash rang out, and a half-finger-deep gouge appeared out of thin air on General Li Xin's breastplate!

Having been attacked, General Li Xin's eyes flashed. He grabbed the spear in mid-air and used the momentum to retreat and create distance.

A Tyranid Warrior that can turn invisible!

Su Yang reacted immediately.

This attack power was too strong; one strike had almost breached General Li Xin's Imperial Armor!

HISS—

With a low growl, a Tyranid Warrior with a pointed hammer-like head and data cables hanging from the back of its head appeared before General Li Xin.

It held a giant bone blade, and its two rows of exposed fangs were trembling constantly.

After revealing itself, it slowly raised its hand and extended a claw.

The Xenomorphs rushing up from behind immediately bypassed General Li Xin and charged toward Armored Elite Warrior Chen Wu's squad behind him.

Wanting a duel again? No wonder this thing is called a Tyranid Warrior!

"Hold him off!"

Su Yang ordered General Li Xin, then immediately switched to the city wall perspective.

With General Li Xin intercepted, the two Giant Insects behind were missed; troops had to be sent to defend!

Switching back to the perspective, just as Su Yang was about to order General Meng Tian to lead a team down the city wall to defend against the Insect Swarm.

He suddenly noticed that the two Giant Insects had stopped in front of the city wall.

What does this mean?

BOOM—

The two Giant Insects burst out of the ground at the North Gate.

Following behind them, a series of Xenomorphs resembling Brain Bugs poured out.

Unlike ordinary Brain Bugs, these had larger brains covered in dark purple cracks.

They looked like tumors, just like a Mother Bug!

Aren't Brain Bugs supposed to be non-aggressive?

What's the point of sending them to the front line?

WHOOSH— WHOOSH— WHOOSH—

The Crossbowmen would not miss the chance while they were stuck at the gate, and a rain of arrows fell instantly.

The Brain Bugs' dark purple brains burst like watermelons the moment they were struck.

Purple brain matter splattered, and countless arm-sized Xenomorphs poured out along with it!

Those bugs rushed toward the gate like mad dogs, screaming as they began to gnaw.

Their mouths contained some kind of acid, and every bite could directly eat through the metal gate.

The dozen or so Brain Bugs that emerged from the holes burst one after another, each releasing dozens to hundreds of small bugs.

Soon, the dense mass of small bugs filled the entire gate area.

The Crossbowmen on the city wall quickly switched to shooting explosive arrows.

Area-of-effect explosions were very lethal to dense groups of enemies, but they were not very effective against these small bugs.

The high temperature generated by the explosions could kill some of the small bugs, but the impact damage was negated by their hard carapaces.

The Skyfire Guard could not bomb the gate, and for a moment, Su Yang could not think of any way to deal with them.

In less than half a minute, under the gnawing of hundreds of small bugs, the half-meter-thick, metal-rimmed stone gate had already been breached!

As if receiving an order, the surrounding army of Stinger Bugs began to converge on the gate.

No wonder the Giant Insects had burst out of the ground in front of the gate; they wanted to gnaw through the entire gate to let the Insect Swarm pour in.

He had to send the Armored Elite Soldiers down to defend.

If the city gate was breached, the difficulty of defense would skyrocket!

Su Yang's thoughts flickered, and he issued the order immediately.

But before he could give the order, General Meng Tian had already taken action.

"All officers, heed my command! Follow me immediately to defend the city gate!!"

With that, General Meng Tian did not hesitate; he gathered his strength and leaped down from above the city gate.

The propulsion devices on his back were fully engaged, and bursts of fire spewed out.

The Imperial Armor, standing 3 meters tall, 1.5 meters wide, and weighing at least 10 tons.

Under the acceleration of the thrusters, it smashed into the Bug Swarm Tide like a meteorite falling to earth!

BOOM—

Huh?

Su Yang's eyes widened sharply, and he was completely stunned.
