Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.
Chapter 416 The Insect Swarm Arrives
I highly recommend "The Witcher: My Skills Can Be Limitless"! Go straight to the exciting parts.
Ian's figure flickered, and he arrived in front of the crystal wall, his mental perception completely synchronized with the wizard tower.
The 3D projection unfolds instantly, clearly presenting the scenery of the world's periphery.
In the void, dark purple cracks twisted and expanded, spewing out massive numbers of Zerg units.
As soon as those units broke free of the rift, they adjusted their posture in the void and quickly formed an array.
Instead of rushing into the purple mist world immediately, they gathered and grouped up in place.
"Tower Spirit, calculate the number of enemies." Ian's voice was as calm as a deep abyss.
"We are calculating their trajectory. It is estimated that the Zerg in our direction have 3 Tier 5 Hives, 27 Tier 4 Hives, and more than 20 million Tier 3 and 4 combat units."
For once, the tower spirit showed a rare hint of tension.
Ian stared at the dense red dots on the projection screen, his eyes showing no panic.
The three level-five mother nests are arranged in a triangular formation, with each nest approximately 100,000 kilometers apart.
Each level 5 maternity nest is surrounded by nine level 4 maternity nests, which guard the core like satellites.
Furthermore, a large number of level 3 and 4 combat units are scattered among the level 4 mother hives.
What Ian was wary of was the enemy's formation.
The main attack cluster is composed of one level 5 mother hive leading nine level 4 mother hives.
There is a level 5 mother hive on each side, leading the remaining eighteen level 4 mother hives, forming a pincer movement.
With a clear objective, a frontal assault was launched to draw attention, while flanking maneuvers were employed to cut off retreat routes.
"I wonder if there are any level 5 Void Nests?" Ian muttered to himself, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
Although a level 5 mother hive is quite intelligent, it is rare for it to be able to devise such sophisticated tactics.
Judging from this formation and division of labor, there may be a higher-level entity controlling things behind the scenes.
A level six Void Mother Nest? Or even... level seven?
Ian took a deep breath and suppressed the thought.
The enemy army is pressing in, outnumbering our forces by more than twenty times.
What's more troublesome is that the enemy army is not moving fast; they are advancing slowly in the void, as if waiting for something.
"Tower Spirit, analyze the cause of the enemy's abnormal speed."
"Weak spatial interference was detected behind the enemy formation, suggesting that the enemy is waiting for follow-up troops to complete their spatial jump."
Ian's eyes narrowed; he had to disrupt the army's rhythm before they could fully assemble.
"Kerrigan, the enemy army is pressing in. Prepare for battle." Ian's consciousness instantly connected with the Zerg plains.
"I need you to complete the deployment of all troops within one hour."
In the center of the plain, Kerrigan's massive body suddenly straightened up.
Its six pairs of wings spread fully open. "Yes, Master!"
Then, she displayed a hint of the majesty befitting a level five mother hive.
"Zerg, heed my command! Deploy the first wave of spore anti-air towers to outer orbit to form the first line of defense."
On the plain, one hundred spore-shaped air-raid shelters shook simultaneously.
Purple tentacles emerged from the soil, the umbrella-like canopy slowly closed, and the enormous body began to levitate.
Then, through the spatial portal opened by the Tower of Eternity, they shot like meteors into the outer orbit of the Purple Mist World.
Each air defense tower is precisely suspended at a predetermined coordinate point.
The canopy reopened, and the fifty-meter-diameter canopy slowly rotated in the void.
The tentacles stretched out, absorbing the faint energy from space, and began to preheat the spore ejection system.
"The second wave of purple hydras, divided into five clusters, has been deployed to the mid-atmosphere of the planet to provide long-range fire support."
Five thousand purple hydralisks flapped their wings simultaneously, the eight bony tubes on their backs glowing with an eerie light. Their three pairs of wings vibrated at a high frequency, and after circling once over the plain, they shot into the sky in five directions.
"The third wave, Void Black Bees, will serve as a mobile assault force, ready to be deployed at any time."
Fifteen hundred Void Black Bees moved about like ghosts, their antennae trembling slightly as they sensed every fluctuation in the void.
The fourth wave consisted of millions of Tier 3 and 4 Zerg, including a mixed formation of Shadowwings, Raptors, Bone Eaters, and Guardians, which surged out of the Zerg plains like a tidal wave.
They descended to various parts of the Purple Mist World, lurking in forests, valleys, and river edges, their compound eyes fixed on the sky, waiting for the enemy to descend.
Kerrigan stood in the center of the plain, her six pairs of wings folded, her whiskers swaying gently, emanating a vast spiritual energy.
This wave spread like a spiderweb, covering the entire planet and establishing a connection with every Zerg unit.
At this moment, she is the central processing unit of the entire Zerg race.
"Master, deployment complete." Kerrigan exuded a peculiar confidence at this moment.
"As soon as the enemy lands, I will make them experience the wrath of a future queen!"
Ian grinned, his consciousness returning to the control room.
Looking at the projection again, the Zerg that had emerged gathered and then began to scatter and divide into different groups.
The Zerg forces flying in his direction were advancing to within seven million kilometers, and the sense of oppression was growing stronger.
"Tower Spirit, activate the contingency plan. The Eternal Tower is now in mobile firepower mode."
"Void Annihilation Cannon begins charging; super-energy crystal reserves are operating at full power."
"Thirty-six secondary cannons are warming up, and the blind spot rune array is activated at full power."
Inside the energy pool, the super-energy crystals began to release energy wildly, flowing along the rune array and surging into the silver spikes at the top of the tower.
A hazy, gray light slowly gathered at the tip of the spike.
The Wizard Tower became increasingly blurred due to the effect of the blind spot rune array.
This is Ian's tactic: stealth guerrilla warfare!
Using the Eternal Tower as a mobile turret, it traverses the void to conduct precise sniping of the enemy's Mother Nest.
Five hours later, the Zerg army finally advanced to the outer edge of the Purple Mist World, about one million kilometers from the planet's surface.
At this distance, they had entered the gravitational field, and the three level-five mother nests stopped simultaneously.
Their massive bodies trembled slightly, and tens of thousands of compound eyes on their surfaces turned simultaneously, scanning the purple mist world in front of them, as if confirming something.
If you could only read one fantasy novel in your life, it would probably be "The Wizard: My Skills Can Break Through Infinitely".
"Now!" A cold glint flashed in Ian's eyes.
"Kerrigan, order the Voidbrews to launch a surprise attack, target the enemy's level 4 Brood Mage!"
After the command was given, 1,500 Void Black Bees flapped their wings simultaneously and then disappeared.
The next moment, thirty tiny spatial rifts suddenly appeared inside the Zerg formation.
The first squad appeared directly above a level 4 mother hive.
The mother hive is about three kilometers long and its surface is covered with a thick purple carapace. Countless Zerg units hover around it for protection.
It is advancing slowly, preparing to carry out an encirclement mission.
But at that moment, fifty Void Black Bees emerged from the crack, their wings flapping violently, creating spatial rifts.
scoff!
The thick shell on the surface of the Level 4 Mother Nest was torn apart like paper in the face of the spatial rift.
Dark purple flesh and blood tissue were exposed, and the internal energy fluid began to gush out. The mother nest showed pain in its eyes.
It screamed in agony, and a large number of guardian insects swarmed from its body, rushing towards the Void Black Bee.
But the Void Black Bee was too fast. After a successful attack, it used space jump again and appeared next to another level four mother hive.
Soon, all twenty-seven level-four mother nests were attacked simultaneously.
The Void Black Bee's attack methods are extremely cunning, specifically targeting the weakest points on its carapace and the exposed energy channels.
A single Void Black Bee has limited destructive power, but when fifty attack simultaneously, the resulting small-scale void turbulence is extremely destructive.
In just three seconds, the first wave of attacks ended, and the shells of the eight level-four mother hives were completely torn apart, exposing their internal structures to the void.
Five other mother nests suffered severe damage, with most of their shells shattered and their flight attitudes becoming unstable.
The enemy formation instantly fell into chaos, and the Zerg units that had been hovering in an orderly fashion began to scatter like headless flies.
The agonizing howls of the Level 4 Broodmother echoed through the void, transmitted to every Zerg through the Zerg's unique soul link.
But at that moment, three vast and icy soul fluctuations erupted from the cores of the three level-five mother nests.
hum! ! !
The soul fluctuations swept across the battlefield, instantly calming all the chaotic Zerg units.
The will of the Level 5 Mother Nest forcefully suppressed the chaos, and then the Level 5 Mother Nest simultaneously emitted a shriek.
hiss! ! !
Space began to distort violently, and three thick beams of energy shot out from the core of the Level 5 Mother Nest, blasting towards the Purple Mist World.
With a tearing sound, the world barrier was forcibly ripped apart.
Three void tunnels, each over 100 kilometers in diameter, were forcibly opened, and massive numbers of Zerg units surged into the Purple Mist World through these tunnels.
The first wave of over five million Tier 3 Zerg poured down from the three channels.
"Hydralisks, fire!"
Kerrigan's command was instantly transmitted to every purple Hydralisk, and in the atmosphere, the bony tubes on the backs of all the Hydralisks lit up simultaneously.
Five thousand acid bombs were fired like a torrential rain. Each acid bomb was the size of a house and contained highly concentrated corrosive energy, precisely hitting the densest area of the swarm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Acid bombs exploded in the swarm, and acid rained down from the sky, softening the Zerg's carapace, dissolving their flesh, and shattering their energy cores.
In just ten seconds, more than half a million Zerg were reduced to ashes in the acid rain.
But there were just too many of them. Half a million deaths couldn't stop their arrival, and even more Zerg were pouring out of the tunnel.
"Spore Anti-Air Tower, activate!" Kerrigan's thoughts echoed across the battlefield.
On the outer track, the canopies of one hundred spore-shaped air-raid towers vibrated simultaneously!
puff!puff!puff!
One hundred giant spore clusters, each over a meter in diameter, were ejected and flew to a height of about 500 meters above the swarm of insects before suddenly exploding!
The dark purple spore cloud spread like a plague, instantly covering the sky for thousands of miles around.
The insectoids that rushed into the spore cloud began to dissolve their carapaces, which quickly softened, rotted, and turned into pus.
Moreover, spore clouds are contagious; if one Zergling is infected, its companions around it will also be infected and eroded by spores.
But the Zerg army continued its advance, braving the acid rain and passing through the spore cloud, finally landing on the ground.
Boom!
The first level 4 Zergling crashed to the ground, knocking down all the trees within a hundred-meter radius.
It raised its head, its compound eyes reflecting the dense Zerg defenses ahead.
Kerrigan's Tier 3 Zerg forces had been waiting for a long time.
"Kill!" Kerrigan's massive body soared into the sky.
With its six pairs of wings fully unfurled, a wisp of the pressure from a level-five mother nest swept across the battlefield like a tsunami!
The Zerg units that landed visibly froze the moment they came into contact with this oppressive force.
But soon, the fear in their eyes was forcibly erased by the will of the mother nest, and they turned back into madness.
"hiss!!!"
Kerrigan opened her ferocious maw and let out a deafening roar, unleashing her strongest attack: Soul Shockwave!
An invisible wave emanated from her and spread outwards.
Wherever it passed, level 3 Zerg fell like straw, their eyes dimming rapidly, their life force dissipating.
The level 4 Zerg are barely holding on, but they are also slow to move and their strength has decreased by at least 50%. This is the absolute suppression of lower-level units by a level 5 Hive!
Kerrigan charged into the enemy ranks, his massive body crashing through like a tank.
Its blade-like forelimbs swung, tearing apart dozens of Zerg with each strike.
Its six pairs of wings flapped, creating a violent gust of wind that blew away all the surrounding enemies.
She was like a terrifying tank, crushing the center of the swarm of insects, leaving a trail of corpses in her wake.
But the Zerg army... remains endless.
More Zerg descended from the sky, and more tunnels opened on the ramparts.
Second wave, third wave, fourth wave...
In just ten minutes, the number of Zerg that landed on the ground exceeded ten million.
The land of the Purple Mist World is almost completely covered by the Zerg.
