163: Chapter 164 Magnetic Storm!!

This scene looked simply ridiculous.

A fierce Insect Swarm scattered halfway up the mountain before they even saw the enemy, rolling down like bowling pins.

Although it was somewhat humorous, Su Yang knew this was the effect of the Magnetic Storm.

The Tyranid metal alloy shells were excellent conductive Materials, absorbing a large amount of current the moment they entered the Magnetic Storm.

The chaotic current was transmitted from their shells into their bodies, paralyzing their nerves, while the instability of their shells caused their movement patterns to change, resulting in an exaggerated tumbling effect.

After rolling to the bottom of the valley, the Insect Swarm adapted, stood back up, and immediately launched another charge towards the direction from which the shells had come.

General Li Xin and General Meng Tian had already organized their troops and prepared to meet the enemy.

One hundred Armored Elite Soldiers were divided into two rows, their Fuel-powered Chainsaw Swords already spinning.

Behind them, fifty Armored Crossbowmen were fully prepared, their crossbows ready.

Hum, hum, hum— Boom—

Before the main force could act, two Magnetic Storm Bombs landed in the path of the first army of Stinger Bugs.

A magnetic explosion shot into the sky, and the sound of dense electrical currents surging rang out.

A series of kill notifications instantly appeared on Su Yang's panel.

[Kill: Level 13 Tyranid Titanium-Crystal Stinger Bug (Variant), command points +130 (30% bonus)]

[Kill: Level 12 Tyranid Titanium-Crystal Stinger Bug (Variant), command points +120 (30% bonus)]

[Kill: Level 13 Tyranid Titanium-Crystal Brain Bug (Variant), command points +650 (30% bonus)]

...

After the upgrades, the Skyfire Guard could now inflict large-scale damage against the Titanium-Crystal Stinger Bugs!

It should be known that when the Skyfire Guard first encountered the Titanium-Crystal Insect Swarm, they had almost become useless.

Based on this slaughter, Su Yang also realized the reason why the Skyfire Guard had regained their lethality against the Titanium-Crystal Tyranid race.

Although the first Magnetic Storm Bomb did not cause any kills, the resulting Magnetic Storm caused the shells of the Insect Swarm to enter an unstable state, losing their original defensive capabilities.

Then, when the next two Magnetic Storm Bombs fell, the resulting explosions and shockwaves were able to directly eliminate large groups of the Insect Swarm.

In other words, the Magnetic Storm was equivalent to a large-scale armor-shredding effect; the Titanium-Crystal Tyranid race caught within it would lose their armor protection.

Hum, hum, hum—

Two more Magnetic Storm Bombs fell, a large number of kill notifications poured out, and the first wave of the Bug Swarm Tide was almost completely wiped out.

The Magnetic Storm also almost completely blocked all paths from the Bug Swarm Tide cave entrance towards the main force.

Rustle, rustle, rustle—

However, the Insect Swarm would not give up; facing enemies who had intruded into their territory, they would never show mercy.

Soon, a louder buzzing sound from the Insect Swarm rang out, and a second, larger wave began to pour out from the cave entrance.

This time they did not dive directly into the valley floor but instead charged along the cliff walls towards both sides.

They wanted to avoid the residual areas of the Magnetic Storm!

As expected, the Tyranid race was the Tyranid race; they would quickly adjust their strategies based on the results of the battle.

However, their strategy to avoid it failed, as the coverage area of the Magnetic Storm was far too large, reaching nearly two kilometers.

Although the effects at the edges gradually diminished, as long as they wanted to launch an attack on the main force, they could not completely avoid the Magnetic Storm.

However, they did manage to avoid the areas on the central path where multiple Magnetic Storms overlapped.

The magnetic field in this area would render them completely immobile.

This batch of the Insect Swarm consisted not only of Stinger Bugs but also of the more agile Tyran-Titan Crystal Jumpers.

After a brief period of paralysis to adapt to the marginal storm magnetic field, the second Insect Swarm unit began to march towards the main force.

Su Yang ordered the Skyfire Guard to release the last Magnetic Storm Bomb in front of the main force.

The Magnetic Storm unfolded in front of the troops, becoming a defensive line of magnetic fields.

Hiss—

The Insect Swarm arrived; charging at the very front were not the Stinger Bugs that had moved out first, but the faster Tyran-Titan Crystal Jumpers.

However, compared to the previous Tyran-Titan Crystal Jumpers that could scale the city walls in two steps, these Tyran-Titan Crystal Jumpers clearly jumped lower, and their agility was not what it used to be.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

20 Level 4 Crossbowmen opened fire with full force, and rows of Armor-piercing Arrows were shot out.

The sluggish Tyran-Titan Crystal Jumpers could no longer dodge by twisting their bodies as before, and they were shot through, one after another, falling to the ground.

Below, the Armored Elite Soldiers held their Fuel-powered Chainsaw Swords and engaged the army of Titanium-Crystal Stinger Bugs.

In the eyes of the Elite Soldiers, these Stinger Bugs, whose armor had been weakened by the magnetic field, were practically soft-bodied animals.

As the Chainswords swung, the Stinger Bug units fell one after another like blades of grass.

The one hundred Elite Soldiers were arranged in two rows, taking turns to strike, continuously slaughtering the surging Insect Swarm.

Looking at this fragile Insect Swarm before him, Su Yang felt that they were not Titanium-Crystal Stinger Bugs, but merely the ordinary Stinger Bugs from the Early Stage.

[Kill: Level 13 Tyranid Titanium-Crystal Stinger Bug (Variant), command points +130 (30% bonus)]

[Kill: Level 12 Tyranid Titanium-Crystal Stinger Bug (Variant), command points +120 (30% bonus)]

[Kill: Level 13 Tyranid Titanium-Crystal Jumper (Variant), command points +195 (30% bonus)]

...

The second wave of the Bug Swarm Tide was wiped out without inflicting any effective damage.

Although the scale was larger than the first wave, the final outcome was no different.

There was no complex maneuvering, just plain and simple slaughter.

The Skyfire Guard had run out of shells, and under Su Yang's guidance, they returned to wolf smoke to resupply ammunition.

With wolf smoke present, it was equivalent to having a mobile base on the battlefield.

Whenever any resources were lacking, they could be directly resupplied.

If it were in the past, once the Skyfire Guard had finished firing their cannons, they would basically only be able to beat the monsters with their Physical Body.

However, now they only needed to turn back to reload their ammunition and return to the battlefield.

Boom— Boom— Boom—

The earth trembled, and the rubble and dirt on the ground bounced up.

Su Yang knew this feeling; he had experienced it once before during the siege battle!

The Tyranid race's large-scale siege unit—the Titanium-Crystal Smasher.

When they first encountered it, the entire base began firing from the moment it started its charge, but they never penetrated its defenses even until the city gates were breached.

Now that the troops had been upgraded, how much time would it take to deal with the Smasher!?

General Li Xin waved his hand, and the Level 5 Crossbowmen holding electromagnetic crossbows stepped forward, replacing the position of the Level 4 Crossbowmen.

The charging sound of the electromagnetic crossbows had ended; now was the moment to test their firepower!

Bang—

The cliff wall on the right side of the valley was directly smashed open, and a huge creature, over ten meters tall and resembling a Tyrannosaurus Rex, rushed out!
