Everyone was stunned. The scene of thousands of giant beasts spewing out a sea of fire at the same time was actually this group of military academy students. They were children who did not have the talent to absorb magic rings, so they could only temporarily use giant beast serum and giant beast magic rings to transform themselves into giant beasts for a short period of time.
The price, however, is that all their life and energy will be completely absorbed into the sea of fire within minutes, with their bones, muscles, skin, and internal organs all dissolving into energy to power the giant beast.
Until, utter death...
The scene then returns to the parade ground, where multiple cameras capture the soldiers parading. Some are students, some are former soldiers of the kingdom, and many are ordinary people who came to the battlefield with only passion.
But at this moment, they all arrived at the training ground of Xihai City.
After the parade, they headed towards the coast.
"The entire militia contingent of Westsea City is heading to the coastal defense line to support and resist the second round of artillery requisition. All of them are strapped with Molotov cocktails, which will self-destruct upon death so that their bodies will not be left to the swarm of insects."
"Just 7 minutes ago, the second line of defense fell. Survivors: 0..."
……
Everyone who had seen the disorganized troops after the parade was stunned.
But the war continued.
A formation that appeared to be entirely composed of students appeared, all smiling, their baby-faced smiles appearing in the camera's view. They were like the morning sun. Even though their steps were not in sync, many of them waved at the camera, and a girl wearing glasses made a peace sign at the drone filming them.
"The Magic Academy's Super Beast Squad, composed entirely of students and teachers, totaling 730 people, is tasked with holding off the second line of defense and attempting to recapture the front line..."
"Information relayed back 4 minutes ago: 0 survivors..."
These scenes stunned everyone in the rear. Before the war, they didn't know how brutal it would be, but now that the details of the carnage have been revealed, everyone is dumbfounded.
Five lines of defense were set up along the coast, but in just half an hour, three of them had already been breached...
The grand military parade at the drill ground continues.
After the parade, these soldiers went straight to the battlefield, facing swarms of insects in the wind and snow.
Even the world's consciousness couldn't bear to look at this place at this moment. All it could do was to strengthen these children who were about to die on the battlefield.
Upgrade from Tier 3 to Tier 4, and from Tier 4 to near Tier 5...
Any attack from a behemoth or a human could easily tear apart the swarm of insects, but soon the swarm would fill in and launch an even more powerful attack.
Fighter jets roared in from afar, dropping terrifying incendiary bombs into the swarm of insects, instantly igniting countless waves of fire.
The swarm of insects rushed into the sky in large numbers, trying to chase after the bombers and fighters, but after flying more than a hundred meters high, they suddenly plummeted. This was the world's consciousness punishing them with gravitational compression!
On this planet, the insect swarms have to withstand several times the gravity, which means that even if they can fly, they can only fly at low altitudes.
This also greatly boosted the morale of the coalition forces.
At this moment, countless flying behemoths also took to the air, recklessly bombarding the swarm of insects below.
Other behemoths also began to enter the battlefield one after another, and started a joint attack with the humans who had transformed into behemoths.
"We've deployed the Iron Curtain," Aigar said. "Gravity devices have been installed throughout the city. If the coastal defenses fail, we'll have to resort to urban warfare..."
"I understand," Yunxing replied.
The next moment, these Hell Vanguard soldiers who had abandoned their home planet joined the long-range artillery support.
Above the sky, the kingdom's space station also deployed countless cannons, and terrifying shells were hurled down from outside the atmosphere by gravity.
As Yunxing gazed at the swarm of insects and the fireworks, perhaps at that moment he was reminded of that time from the past.
"Teacher, perhaps this is my last battle." He gave a self-deprecating laugh.
The next moment, his muscles burst through his clothes, and a terrifying water dragon nearly a hundred meters tall stood on the ground.
Yun Xing felt an unparalleled power, which was constantly strengthening, increasing wildly, and growing stronger within his body!
It even allowed him to feel the power of a near-5th tier, which was the amplification of the world consciousness, and the final help that this world consciousness could provide.
Even under the immense pressure and countless debuffs imposed by the world, the terrifying swarms of insects still waged a war of slaughter.
The coastline was secretly covered with the corpses of swarms of insects and behemoths, and the fire waves from the shelling and explosions quickly burned them to ashes.
The entire coastline has been completely transformed into a meat grinder-like battlefield.
Even so, the defense line was still being slowly suppressed.
The third line of defense, which had just been recaptured, has fallen!
Just 15 minutes later, the fourth line of defense was breached!
Just 11 minutes later, the fifth line of defense was breached!
Even though the swarm of insects could not fly high and could only glide with difficulty or crawl on the ground, it broke through the coastal defenses and rushed into West Sea City in just a few hours.
Xihai City seems to be on the verge of falling.
But at this very moment, some wild behemoths did not join the battle against the insect swarm.
"What are they doing!" Yun Xing roared as he watched the giant beasts behind him not move forward, but instead rush towards the city's nuclear power plant and directly enter the nuclear reactor to extract energy.
“They are absorbing the energy of the nuclear reaction!” said an assistant from the Freedom Curtain.
Terrifying energy waves condensed from the mouths of those giant beasts, but they were aimed directly at the sky!
"Warning! The space station is under attack by a swarm of insects! The space station is under attack by a swarm of insects!" Suddenly, a distress signal came from the sky.
Yun Xing was completely stunned. He had received a revelation from the world's consciousness in advance that the Zerg swarm would permanently lose air superiority, but why was the space station still being attacked by the Zerg swarm?
However, when the support troops in the rear saw the images transmitted from the space station, they were stunned.
Deep in space, a living, breathing Zerg mothership relentlessly unleashes swarms of Zerg to attack a space station in orbit.
From this angle alone, the living mothership appeared to be hundreds of times the size of the space station, resembling a giant, fully-fledged living insect, launching its attack beyond the reach of the world's consciousness in the atmosphere.
"The swarms were cursed by the world, so their solution was..."
"An attack from outer space! Or perhaps a direct bypass of the defenses to attack the rear!"
When Yunxing received this intelligence from headquarters, both Yunxing and headquarters were completely stunned.
But at that moment, a terrifying energy surge erupted from behind them, and they saw the giant beasts that absorbed nuclear energy spewing terrifying plasma into the sky.
"Could their target be...?!" Yun Xing looked up at the sky in shock.
The direction in which those behemoths' plasma was aimed was precisely at that living Zerg mothership!
Plasma bombarded the living mothership, and the giant worm opened its mouth as if to let out a terrifying scream of pain, but the sound did not travel through the vacuum.
Even so, the living mothership only had many more wounds and could still deploy swarms of insects.
"damn it!"
Yunxing looked at the giant beasts that had unleashed plasma attacks, but now their bodies were burning and melting. After that burst of plasma, they had lost all their strength; this was the price they had paid.
Soon, more giant beasts arrived, drawing upon nuclear energy and conjuring terrifying plasma in their mouths, which they aimed at the sky.
They all knew that if they didn't prioritize dealing with that living mothership, even if they managed to hold onto West Sea City, it would be of no use.
Before the bodies of those behemoths melted, the plasma launched again, hitting the living mothership.
The mothership's entire abdomen was pierced, and disgusting liquid carrying a large number of insect eggs drifted in space.
"Was it successful?" headquarters asked the space station.
"No, it's still alive!" the crew on the space station reported in alarm.
This is the Zerg Queen borrowed by the Ninth Apostle. Its true form is merely a giant Shub Zerg breeding machine, lacking significant defensive and offensive capabilities.
However, the sheer number of insects that reproduce can become the most terrifying natural disaster.
"We can't stand idly by any longer. The entire Freedom Curtain is preparing to head to space and take down the Mother Nest," Aigle said.
“We can’t launch a two-pronged attack. The defenses of West Sea City are already in dire straits. We can’t hold the skies. We can only try to have the giant beasts absorb reactor energy again to try and resist! Or we can try to detonate the space station to stop those bugs. Once we hold our defenses, we can then consider the enemy in the sky,” Yun Xing said.
"Believe me, this is even more important!" Aigle argued forcefully.
"West Sea City is more important; I won't let it fall!"
“Believe me, my homeland has fallen, but I cannot let your homeland fall,” said the interim commander of the Freedom Curtain.
At this moment, Yunxing was stunned.
"Everyone, prepare for space combat with me. Our target is the Zerg Queen!" Aigle immediately addressed all the Freedom Curtain warriors still present.
Chapter 312 The Hunting Plan
Zerg soldiers are divided into several ranks based on their status and strength.
The lowest level is the "pseudo-insect," which is a subspecies of insect that has been corrupted and distorted by the insect swarm. These are the "demons" in human skin that Xue Law once encountered in the Holy Magic Empire.
They have essentially become part of the swarm, but their strength has not yet truly reached the level of a formal swarm, and is often related to their past strength.
But in essence, they won't be too strong; most are between the third and fourth tiers.
These pseudo-insects often retain memories of their previous lives, and can even mimic their behavior and speak in the same tone as before. However, they are essentially completely distorted, as if a single individual has been completely alienated after being connected to the collective network of the insect swarm.
These pseudo-insects constitute the vast majority of the swarm's main force, and most of what we see today are these pseudo-insects, accounting for over 98% of the total swarm size.
The second type is the purebred Shab insect race.
Their strength is generally at the near-5th tier, and they may even be just barely at the 5th tier.
These insects are powerful, but they can only be born if the Zerg Queen gives birth to them, even though these insects can reproduce at any time for the Queen.
They can contaminate the genes of other races, pollute their souls and consciousness, and prevent all contaminated units from reproducing normally, turning them into pseudo-insects that can only reproduce insects.
These insects are commanders and squadron leaders in the Zerg army. They disguise themselves in the center of the fake insects, and after the fake insects' charge creates an opening, they can cause terrifying casualties.
Most of the coastal defenses were lost in this way.
The strongest individual among the Shub insectoids, the one that can grow to the level of a Baron-level Apostle, is the insectoid warrior.
These insectoids often undergo several metamorphosis and are hundreds of meters in size, weighing millions or even tens of millions of tons. Despite their terrifying size, they are not clumsy and possess extreme agility and terrifying defense.
They are the heavily armored warriors of the swarm, and are among the very few elite swarms.
At the same time, all their activities pollute the planet's waters, atmosphere, and material cycles, so that over a long period of time, the entire world's water and even air cycles will be filled with the distorting power of the swarm.
Above that is the Zerg Queen. Although the Zerg Queen may not be as strong as the combat soldiers, she has a powerful reproductive ability. Once an Queen reaches adulthood, given a certain amount of material and energy, she can reproduce rapidly at a rate of dozens of eggs per second.
Each unit hatched from an egg is at least a near-Tier 5 pure-blooded Shabbur insectoid.
Yes, even if the people of the Beast Star exhaust their life force to maintain their three-minute Super Beast Transformation, and even with the blessing and support of the world's consciousness, they can only barely reach the level of quasi-Tier 5.
However, this capability is produced by the Zerg Queen at a rate of dozens per second.
This is the power structure within the entire Zerg swarm, and the strength that allows the Zerg to be called one of the cosmic calamities.
Above the Zerg Queen is the true God of the Swarm, the Sixth Apostle.
However, He did not participate in this battle. Instead, the Ninth Apostle, who was blinded by defeat, attacked with two borrowed Queen Mothers and dozens of soldiers.
……
The rear command ship within the interstellar column.
"I'm going to help my students," Xue Dinglu said.
“But we need you more here!” A woman in uniform and wearing glasses stopped him.
“We can repel this apostle time and time again, but we cannot kill him. Even if we unite the world's consciousness to seal off space, as long as he wants to escape, we can only stop him at most, not kill him completely. So we need your power.”
She said bluntly, her face serious: "If we can't kill Him this time, He will bring even more and stronger support next time. We can't afford to gamble!"
Xue Dinglu originally wanted to say that the Ninth Apostle had no more resources to borrow troops, but he fell silent when he was about to speak.
The Ninth Apostle did not reveal the information about the Beast Star. This explains why He went all in so recklessly. For Him, it wasn't just the Super Iron Curtain, a planet with life, that was tempting, but two planets with life.
With two inhabited planets, as long as He licks His wounds after the victory, He might be able to recoup His investment in less than 10,000 years. The Ninth Apostle will not give up the profits from this deal.
Instead of planting trees here, they fed all the corpses to the sacred tree, which was basically enough for the Ninth Apostle to break even.
He hasn't invited the other apostles yet, solely out of his own greed. But if he escapes back this time and reveals to the council that there are actually two inhabited planets here, then…
Xue's Law knew that the other apostles wouldn't mind getting a share of the spoils.
Therefore, if the Ninth Apostle truly disregards the situation, the next time it might not just be Him alone, but He might bring other apostles. And according to Xue's observations, the apostle with the best relationship with the Ninth Apostle is...
The Sixth Apostle! God of the Swarm.
In that case, the intensity of the war would be far greater than it is now. Even if we manage to hold out, absolutely no one on those two planets will survive.
So after calm reflection, Xue Law remained silent and sat there.
