164: Chapter 165 Destructive Flames, Powerful Crusher

---

"As expected of a Smasher, it even smashed its own home!"

Boom, boom---

The earth trembled in waves as the giant Smasher advanced.

Regardless of the era, the shock brought by giant entities is incomparable.

Perhaps in the future, the war armor of Great Qin will also be able to reach such a crazy scale.

As the Smasher drew closer, Su Yang discovered that this Smasher was different from the one that had attacked the city earlier.

That Smasher had a massive crystal battering ram on its head, but this one did not.

Its distinctive feature lay in its forelimbs; each arm was strapped with dozens of giant spike launchers resembling the tails of Spitting Insects!

That was a long-range offensive weapon!

This Smasher was not a siege unit, but a high-firepower output unit!

Just as Su Yang was astonished, intelligence from the Scout was transmitted back from the front line.

There were a large number of units moving underground toward the main force!

Underground units? Had the Crystal Mineral race also developed underground units?

Passing underground could greatly reduce the impact of the Magnetic Storm, so these Xenomorphs would not suffer from armor degradation!

"General Li Xin, General Meng Tian! Lead the troops to meet the enemy!"

Su Yang issued the order to General Li Xin and General Meng Tian, handing over all command authority of the front line to them.

Rustle, rustle, rustle---

The sound of the Smasher's advance, the surging sound of the underground Xenomorphs, and the final wave of the Stinger Bug army surging from afar.

After two rounds of probing, the Insect Swarm launched their final large-scale offensive against them.

General Li Xin and General Meng Tian also led their troops in preparation; the final decisive battle had begun.

Hum, hum, hum---

Boom---

The Skyfire Guard, having returned from resupplying, once again fired Magnetic Storm Bombs into the sky.

The Magnetic Storm Bombs flew out at high speed and then disintegrated in mid-air, falling into the ranks of the Stinger Bugs in the rear.

Although they intentionally dispersed to avoid the wide-area bombardment.

They might have been able to dodge the explosive damage, but they could not escape the Magnetic Storm.

Where the storm raged, the Insect Swarm fell paralyzed in large swaths, subsequently losing their crystal armor.

At the front of the battlefield, dozens of large white dots on the Scout's panel were rapidly approaching the troops.

This was the only batch of the Insect Swarm that could avoid the influence of the Magnetic Storm and approach the main force with intact armor!

Just as they approached the front line of the troops, the four Fire Dragon Guards began to charge up.

Having dealt with Burrowing Giant Insects many times, General Li Xin would never let them successfully break into the center of the troops.

"Pre-charging complete, Magnetic Flame loaded, gear three, requesting ignition."

"Ignite!!" General Li Xin ordered, seizing the right moment.

Boom---

The blue-purple Magnetic Flame carrying plasma particles gushed out.

The moment the flames touched the ground, they were not deflected like ordinary flames.

Instead, they instantly melted the surface of the soil, burning through to the underground.

The screams of the Xenomorphs immediately came from beneath the ground, and the white dots on the Scout's panel rapidly decreased.

It actually melted inorganic matter like the soil layer directly!

Moreover, those Xenomorphs beneath the soil layer equipped with complete crystal shells could not resist the Magnetic Flame at all.

They turned to ashes almost the instant they touched the flames!

Zzzzt---

The Fire Dragon Guards swung and adjusted their angles, and the blue-purple flames surging with countless electric currents penetrated deep into the soil, turning the Xenomorphs' underground troops into charred remains.

In front of the Magnetic Flame, there was no distinction between combustible and non-combustible materials; as long as they touched it, everything would turn into charred remains!

...

The Magnetic Storm in front and the Magnetic Flame in the rear; the two electromagnetic weapons combined forces to turn the Insect Swarm into a string of kill notifications.

In less than a minute, the Insect Swarm's underground troops were completely wiped out.

Su Yang didn't even know what abilities they actually had!

The Magnetic Flame stopped, and a massive ravine appeared in front of the four Fire Dragon Guards.

The sand and mud inside had all turned into molten substances like magma.

And those pitiful underground units of the Insect Swarm had already turned into pools of black matter.

It was as if they had been directly baked into biological insect oil!

Wasn't this firepower a bit too exaggerated!

Boom---

A strong tremor pulled Su Yang out of his astonishment.

The Smasher was about to enter the range of the Crossbowmen.

Other small units had basically been wiped out, and now only this behemoth remained!

Although the Magnetic Storm slowed the Smasher's advance, the effect was not nearly as good as it was on other small units.

The size of the Xenomorphs had a great deal to do with their resistance to the Magnetic Storm.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh---

Before General Li Xin could order to fire, the Smasher struck first.

It activated the two bundles of spike launchers on its arms, and massive spikes gushed out in a continuous stream.

Clang!

A Crossbowman was hit by an arm-thick crystal spike and sent flying.

The steel armor value instantly dropped below 20%.

"Form shield defense!!" General Li Xin ordered.

The Elite Soldiers immediately deployed their shields, protecting themselves and the Crossbowmen behind the shields.

The spikes fell like raindrops, emitting sharp clanging sounds as they struck the steel shields.

The spikes made of titanium crystal were extremely powerful, and even steel shields could not resist them for long.

Under the storm-like offensive, the durability of the Elite Soldiers' shields dropped rapidly, almost on the verge of collapse.

Such powerful and dangerous firepower left the Crossbowmen with no room to output damage at all.

At this moment, General Li Xin and General Meng Tian no longer waited and charged directly toward the Smasher on their warhorses.

Seeing someone charging, the Smasher lowered one arm to attack them.

General Meng Tian held his shield high to withstand all the attacks, while General Li Xin kept waving his spear and using footwork to dodge the spikes.

The two quickly reached the feet of the Smasher. General Meng Tian leaped high with his great shield, switched to a war hammer in mid-air, and slammed it fiercely into the Smasher's knee.

General Li Xin transferred all the kinetic energy of his charge to the tip of his spear, lowered his body, and thrust fiercely toward the Smasher's ankle.

Screech---

The Smasher wailed in pain, then turned its two arms and aimed all its firepower at General Li Xin and General Meng Tian.

And this action of its gave the Crossbowmen in front the opportunity to counterattack.

30 electromagnetic crossbows finished charging and were aimed in unison at the massive Smasher.

Destruction was imminent...
