143: Chapter 143 The Fifth Generation Insect Swarm: A Fierce Offensive!

Seeing the Rank 13 Titanium Crystal Stinger Bugs, Su Yang understood that this wave of attacks was likely a fifth-generation Bug Swarm Tide!

Generally, the Rank of Stinger Bugs is at the lowest level of their lineage and cannot be the same Rank as the Mother Bug.

A fourth-generation Mother Bug is between Rank 11 and Rank 13, so the Stinger Bugs it produces cannot be Rank 13.

Therefore, the Rank 13 Titanium Crystal Stinger Bugs were obviously produced by a higher-generation Mother Bug.

This battle would likely be his first time engaging with a fifth-generation Bug Swarm Tide!

The skyfire tower bombardment ended, and two soldiers immediately retreated, returning to pilot the Skyfire Guard and ascend the city wall.

The skyfire tower requires a full 5 minutes of cooling time after firing each shot.

This amount of time is enough for the Insect Swarm to rush to the base of the city wall.

Therefore, in every siege battle, the skyfire tower can basically only fire once.

As the Skyfire Guard climbed onto the city wall, the figure of a giant creature slowly emerged in the distance.

The Insect Swarm's Siege Behemoth!

Su Yang switched back to his own perspective; the target was clear, and there was no longer any need for the Scout perspective.

"Skyfire Bomb, prepare!" Su Yang ordered again.

The shells from the Skyfire Guard caused limited damage to the Titanium Crystal Bugs.

Therefore, Su Yang did not intend to use them to kill the enemy, but rather to restrict the enemy.

"Fire!"

After the Bug Swarm Tide entered the designated range, Su Yang ordered the Skyfire Guard to fire.

The Skyfire Bomb soared into the sky before landing and exploding with a roar.

Unlike before, when the land would simply turn into scorched earth after the explosion, now a sea of fire would remain in the area after the explosion dissipated.

That was a sea of fire composed of gelatinous fuel covering the ground.

These substances have excellent combustion properties, and apart from burning out completely, there is almost no way to extinguish the flames.

The explosive power of the Skyfire Bomb is not enough to kill the Stinger Bugs directly, but the Insect Swarm passing through the sea of fire will be covered in fuel, set ablaze, and subjected to continuous high-temperature roasting.

Boom, boom, boom—

One Skyfire Bomb after another landed, carpeting the path of the advancing Insect Swarm in a sea of fire.

The originally light blue Insect Swarm all caught fire, turning into a red tide.

Soon, kill notifications appeared one after another on Su Yang's panel.

Those Xenomorphs whose armor had been shattered by the shockwave could no longer endure the scorching heat and soon died in the flames.

After the bombardment and flames, the enraged Insect Swarm finally approached the city wall.

But what awaited them was not easy prey.

It was the 18-meter-high, mountain-like Black Iron Great Wall and a lethal rain of Armor-piercing Arrows!

"Loose arrows!"

As the Bug Swarm Tide entered the range of the Crossbowmen, Su Yang gave the order.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The ready Crossbowmen fired immediately, and Armor-piercing Arrows poured down from the city wall one after another.

Su Yang had the modified Crossbowmen and the ordinary Crossbowmen fire in alternating turns.

The effect was remarkable; Crossbowmen holding living crossbows only needed to hit the Xenomorphs whose crystal shells had cracked.

The neurotoxin would quickly surge into their bodies along the cracks, combined with the accelerated toxin diffusion speed provided by the Astrology Tower.

The hit Stinger Bugs would instantly collapse within 2 seconds, and the stun and paralysis would last for a full 5 seconds or so.

The effect of the toxin was even better than when the Nature Race Insect Swarm released it against the Armored Soldiers.

The modified Crossbowmen were responsible for knocking down the front-row Stinger Bugs, while the ordinary Crossbowmen were responsible for completely piercing the armor and shooting those paralyzed Xenomorphs.

5 seconds was enough time for the Crossbowmen to shoot and kill these Stinger Bugs twice.

Even if some were lucky enough to escape the finishing blow, their mobility after getting back up was significantly reduced.

Not only did their speed slow down, but some would even charge in the opposite direction.

The sharp Armor-piercing Arrows, combined with the extremely precise shooting of the Crossbowmen, left those Stinger Bugs with cracked armor with nowhere to run.

Under the alternating fire of the two types of arrows, the Bug Swarm Tide was halted outside the territory area and was completely unable to advance.

This situation was only broken when a new type of Xenomorph appeared.

Following closely behind the burning Titanium Crystal Stinger Bugs were those new types of Xenomorphs capable of jumping.

After approaching the city wall, they displayed even more astonishing mobility.

In addition to a terrifying jumping ability that could reach up to 10 meters, they could also spread their wings in the air to glide briefly.

And unlike the recklessly charging Stinger Bugs, they would consciously change their movement trajectories to disrupt the Crossbowmen's aim.

These Jumping Bugs easily bypassed the area where the Stinger Bugs were blocked and advanced rapidly toward the territory.

"Form up, engage the enemy!!" Su Yang roared the order.

He did not doubt for a second that these guys could climb the city wall!

Chila la—

50 Armored Elite Soldiers arranged in a formation on the city wall simultaneously drew their Fuel-powered Chainsaw Swords.

The engines started, and the chainsaws at the front of the blades spun wildly, emitting a terrifying roar.

The Elite Soldiers stepped forward to the edge of the city wall, the hybrid power Systems began to operate, and the propulsion devices at each joint began to accumulate power.

They did not use shields, but instead adopted an all-out offensive stance, holding their swords with both hands.

The army of Elite Soldiers in this form is a terrifying killing machine, capable of quickly crushing any encroaching enemy.

Boom—

The Jumping Bug troops approached the city wall, and two Fire Dragon Guards on the flanks spewed raging fire.

The flames converged above the city wall, engulfing the Jumping Bugs.

The next second, these Jumping Bugs leapt out of the flames, used the middle section of the city wall for leverage, and climbed directly onto the city wall.

"Kill!!" Su Yang shouted angrily.

The Great Qin Elite Soldiers swung their swords at the enemy.

Before the Jumping Bugs could land, the rapidly spinning chainsaws were already upon them.

The interlocking toothed blades quickly shattered their crystal shell armor and then severed their bodies.

The Jumping Bugs also screeched in retaliation; their insect blades were larger and sharper than those of the Stinger Bugs.

A single slash could even cut directly into the Elite Soldiers' steel Imperial Armor.

Under Su Yang's instruction, the Crossbowmen gave up on the hard-to-target Jumping Bugs and set their targets on the front-row Stinger Bugs.

The frenzied Jumping Bugs broke through the arrow defense and engaged the Armored Elite Soldiers unit on top of the city wall.

Steam gushing, chainsaws spinning, cutting, insect chirping, roaring... countless sounds mingled and surged out.

Thick white mist, burning black smoke, sparks from cutting steel, severed limbs and blood flying everywhere... chaos and brutality were playing out on every part of the city wall.

Raging fires, the screeching of the Insect Swarm, the entire Armored unit was plunged into fierce combat.

The Insect Swarm's Siege Behemoth roared as it made its appearance at this moment.

It used its massive head, covered in thick crystals, to block the arrows from above.

It then lowered its body and charged toward the North Gate, its clumsy and massive body erupting with astonishing speed.

Boom— Boom— Boom—

The earth shook and the mountains swayed.

The Siege Bug charged toward the city wall step by step.

Su Yang felt the entire city wall trembling!
