Chapter 259: The Precarious Line of Defense
A great war is coming. Except for the area where the Zerg army is located, other places will be occupied by the alien human army and are no longer safe.
Wu Qing sent people to place the elite knights of the Bull Clan led by Niu Zhong in a safe position in the Zerg army-controlled area, and watched the battle from the sidelines like those parasitic light griffin knights and giant light griffins.
Wu Qing also sent people to inquire about the wishes of the observers of various forces. If they are willing, they can stay with the elite knights of the Bull Clan.
These observers sent by various forces are knowledgeable and strong, but except for some people with special abilities, it is difficult for ordinary people to survive in a battlefield environment of such a scale.
In the end, most of the observers accepted the invitation of the Zerg and stayed with the elite knights of the Bull Clan. During this war, they could no longer move freely.
In addition, those observers who did not accept the invitation of the Zerg sneaked into the surrounding secrets and continued to move in secret.
As for whether these people would be discovered by the alien human army and what the consequences would be if they were discovered, it was none of Wu Qing's business.
After hatching enough main combat arms, the Zerg base under the 66th city continued to hatch Zerg puppies. A large number of Zerg worker bees continued to dig towards the mountains to expand the space of the Zerg base.
"Boom... Boom...!"
Around the 66th city, a large number of armies of various affiliated races of the alien race arrived, and the marching movement was like thunder.
Looking down from the sky, tens of millions of troops continued to gather in one place, and the scene was quite spectacular!
The area where the Zerg army was located was the ultimate target of these armies.
Some of the alien army entered the attack range of the Zerg destroyers first. This time, Wu Qing did not choose to wait for the enemy to gather and line up first, but chose to open fire and attack directly!
"Boom...!"
The attack of the Zerg destroyers kicked off the prelude to this war!
There are 5,000 five-star Zerg destroyers in the best condition. The place covered by the firepower of the Zerg destroyer phalanx is basically a white land, and all life on it disappears without a trace.
The attack of the Zerg destroyer is calculated and controlled by the queen, which can achieve the minimum output and cause the greatest damage effect.
"Boom boom boom...!"
"Boom boom boom...!"
"..."
After several rounds of artillery fire from the Zerg destroyer, the 66th city was surrounded by the armies of the alien race, and they completely surrounded the entire city.
Among them were countless goblins. If the Zerg destroyer attacked them, it would be a waste of firepower. If they didn't attack them, they would all surround them and actively attract firepower.
Fifty thousand Zerg destroyers were powerless in the face of the saturation attack of so many enemies from all directions, and could only attack the star-level troops with the greatest threat.
The armies of the various affiliated races of the alien race, under the artillery fire of the Zerg destroyer, finally rushed into the attack range of the Zerg army's long-range troops, and the Zerg Hydralisk and Zerg Stealth Spider began to join the attack.
Faced with the mixed attack of armor-piercing spikes, armor-piercing ground spikes and Zerg biological decomposition fluid, no matter whether it was Goblins or the star-level soldiers of the various affiliated races of the alien race, they all disappeared in pieces.
The armor-piercing spikes of the Zerg Hydralisk are single-target attacks with stronger killing power, and star-level soldiers cannot withstand the attacks of a few armor-piercing spikes.
The armor-piercing ground spikes of the Zerg Stealth Spider are not much different from the armor-piercing spikes. They stab the enemy from the ground, and their killing effect is not weaker than that of the Zerg Hydralisk.
For weak soldiers like Goblins, a large area of Zerg biological decomposition fluid can kill them.
Some long-range attack soldiers in the army of the affiliated races of the alien race have rushed to the front and launched an attack in the direction of the Zerg army.
For these enemy long-range soldiers, Zerg Destroyers, Zerg Hydralisks and Zerg Stealth Spiders all focused their firepower on them, and gave priority to killing enemy long-range soldiers that posed a certain threat.
The flying Zerg dragons in the air also began to attack the alien army that rushed up, relieving the defense pressure of other branches of the Zerg army.
When the Zerg dragons joined the battle, the elite troops of the alien race in the huge light shield in the 66th city, which had been silent, finally broke out of the protection of the light shield and charged towards the Zerg army from the city!
The soldiers of the alien army, shining with light energy, ignored the obstruction of the buildings in the city and rushed straight towards the Zerg army.
Wu Qing mobilized some five-star Zerg destroyers to attack them. Even if they had powerful light magic to protect themselves, they could not defend against the attacks of five-star Zerg destroyers!
Under the powerful artillery fire, the buildings were blown flat and the soldiers disappeared!
The space transmission channel built by the alien race in the light energy shield began to work, and batches of alien troops were transmitted through the space transmission channel to replenish the consumption of the front troops.
Batches of alien troops rushed out of the light energy shield from all directions, dispersed, and charged towards the Zerg army!
To take into account the battles in multiple directions, the number of five-star Zerg destroyers was a little insufficient.
The two-star Zerg destroyers had a much worse killing effect on star-level troops, especially when attacking the alien troops. The number of enemies that could be directly killed became very small, and the damage from multiple attacks was needed to be superimposed to be enough to kill the elite soldiers of the aliens with divine defense.
Except for the Goblins, the affiliated races of the Alien Tribe all have their own priests of light, and their armies can all be blessed with the divine arts of light.
The Lord of Light's various divine arts are best at defense and treatment, which makes the Alien Tribe's army particularly difficult to kill and very resilient.
The average strength of the Zerg army's participating arms far exceeds that of the Alien Tribe's army. Relying on this gap in strength, the defense line can be temporarily maintained.
The armies of the affiliated races of the Alien Tribe are constantly gathering, gathering more and more, and constantly consuming the firepower of the Zerg army.
The elite troops of the Alien Tribe that were transported through the space transmission channel seem to have a particularly enhanced version of the divine arts of light on them.
Except for the four-star and five-star Zerg destroyers, the other Zerg destroyers have poor attack effects on those elite troops, and the total strength of the Zerg destroyers is not enough, allowing those elite troops to easily rush into the attack range of the Zerg Hydralisk.
More than 400,000 Zerg Hydralisks and 50,000 Zerg Stealth Spiders once again divided their firepower and launched an attack on the elite troops of the Alien Race. Some Zerg Dragons also sprayed their biological bombs.
The Alien Crossbowmen mixed in the melee troops began to raise their crossbows and launch long-range projectile attacks on the Zerg army.
Arrows shining with white light crossed with various long-range attacks of the Zerg army and flew towards the Zerg Hydralisks and Zerg Cockroaches in front of the Zerg army.
The arrows blessed by the Light Magic also have a certain killing effect on the two-star Zerg Hydralisks and Zerg Cockroaches.
Zerg Cockroaches are not afraid of such attacks, but if the Zerg Hydralisks are attacked multiple times, they will cause certain damage and affect their combat effectiveness.
The armor-piercing spikes of the two-star Zerg Hydralisk and the armor-piercing ground spikes of the two-star Zerg Stealth Spider are more effective against the alien army than the Zerg Destroyer. In addition, the Zerg biological decomposition fluid sprayed by the Zerg Hydralisk consumes various divine arts. When the alien army rushes into this distance, casualties begin to increase.
The Zerg Dragon's biological bomb has a good group attack effect. The multi-level explosion attack can quickly consume the light divine arts blessing on the alien army and then kill them.
The Zerg army has 900,000 troops against tens of millions of enemies, and the alien army is not much weaker than the Zerg army. The situation of the Zerg army is getting worse and worse.
When the alien space transmission channel teleported millions of alien troops, divided into small squares one by one, and continuously charged the Zerg army, the Zerg army's defense line was compressed again.
The alien army has already rushed into the attack range of the Zerg cockroaches.
The Zerg cockroaches in the Zerg army began to spray flames. The addition of 200,000 Zerg cockroaches relieved the Zerg army's defense pressure a little, but compared to the entire Zerg army's defense line, the troops were still too few.
The 900,000 Zerg army, with 50,000 Zerg destroyers as the core, formed a huge circular defense formation, leaving a large space in the middle, so the troops of each branch were very insufficient.
The participation of Zerg cockroaches formed three firepower networks of the Zerg army: ultra-long-range, long-range and medium-range. Facing the strongest firepower output of the Zerg army, the armies of the Goblins and the various affiliated races of the Alien Clan suffered even more severe losses, and the casualties of the Alien Clan's own army continued to increase.
However, the strength of the Alien Clan army is dozens of times that of the Zerg army. They pushed the front line to the range of the Zerg army's medium-range firepower, and their own various elite long-range arms can play a role.
Powerful human archers, light siege weapons, and bows, javelins, slings, axes, and other long-range attacks that various races are good at flew towards the Zerg army's defense line.
Zerg Hydralisks and Zerg Cockroaches on the front line began to suffer casualties. Although the weakest among them had a two-star strength, they could not withstand the continuous attacks of the enemy.
The number of injured Zerg Hydralisks and Zerg Cockroaches continued to increase. Some unlucky Zerg Hydralisks were directly killed by powerful long-range attacks.
Several cavalry units of the alien race began to move towards the direction of the Zerg army, ready to launch a charge at any time.
Other cavalry units of the alien race's affiliated races were also constantly advancing forward, ready to cooperate with the alien cavalry units to launch a fatal attack.
In the sky, a variety of flying arms kept flying, eyeing the Zerg flying dragons above the Zerg army.
On the ground, the alien army was still gathering here.
The Zerg army has been surrounded and the defense line is in danger of being breached at any time.
