attack city

Half an hour later, all the cities finally crossed the river and began to enter their respective positions.

The flying energy behemoths in the sky were still coming, but as they expected, they were scattered like the first batch and fled in several predetermined directions.

"Finally we can take a break."

After these batches of flying energy behemoths passed through, there was a gap period without any energy behemoths, but the time was not long, just enough for everyone to take a breather.

However, the Lord of Liuli City issued a warning: "Five hundred kilometers away, in the eastern mountains of the upper reaches of Benliu River, there are a bunch of dense energy giant light spots. It is currently difficult to estimate what type they are, but this is usually an extremely dangerous signal."

"Next, the energy behemoths on the ground are not flying ones. They will be quite large in number. Once those light spots enter the radar range, everyone should pay attention when they have time."

The display on the radar screen, the farther away it is, the worse the accuracy.

Therefore, from such a long distance, even if you zoom in, you can't determine how many energy behemoths there are in the pile of light spots.

But they are so dense that radar cannot distinguish them individually, which means they must be of the same type, that is, super large social energy behemoths.

In any swarm of beasts, these are more difficult to deal with than those living in small groups or alone.

In a fierce battle, not many cities have the energy to cover everything, and there is only one radar. It is inevitable to focus on one thing and lose the other, even in Liuli City.

Therefore, they can only remind each other that whoever is free should pay more attention to the overall situation.

"Understood." Other cities responded one after another.

However, there was not much time for them to communicate. The energy behemoths on the ground were already approaching. In the sight, they were scattered black and dense, and it was impossible to see how many there were.

Even though so many cities are signing up for groups to keep warm, everyone still feels creepy.

They were divided into two groups. One group dealt with the energy behemoths coming out of the eastern part of the mountain and heading straight for the coal mines.

A group of people are to deal with those who come out from the west of the mountain range and attack the trading site on the other side of the rushing river. Try to guide those energy giants not to cross the river and move westward along the river bank.

The city's cannon began to roar continuously, and countless ammunition was tilted out.

Those running on the ground are more difficult to deal with than those flying in the air. This is not a problem of the strength of the energy monsters, but a problem of the particularity of this wave of energy monsters.

First of all, energy monsters running on the ground usually have higher defense and are more durable.

Unlike the flying type, once hit, not only will the injury be more serious, but falling in the air will basically be more miserable.

When there are many cannons in the city and the shells are densely packed, the probability of being hit is also higher. This disadvantage of the flying type is obvious, and the willingness to escape will be greater.

Secondly, once the energy monster flying in the air is attacked, there are more directions to escape, and there are almost no obstacles on the way forward.

Those running on the ground will be hindered by the terrain and cannot retreat back to the interior of Wolf Ridge.

If you flee around, you will usually be blocked by nearby energy monsters.

When a large group moves forward, individuals are usually carried forward. This situation can be roughly described.

Therefore, there are not that many passable roads. At this time, you can only rush on a few specific routes, and you will usually become more violent and fearless of life and death.

Fortunately, this battlefield was carefully chosen by Liulicheng.

So after persisting for an hour and a half, they successfully guided the forward energy beast that was attacking the trading field. Those behind also followed the forward and turned westward. Most of them did not try to cross the river again. The few who tried to cross the river were also bombarded by artillery.

go back.

The attack pressure there suddenly eased a lot, and many cities began to turn their artillery to support the coal mines.

Because this side has been breached to a close distance, several energy behemoths are about to rush to the first row of cities.

"Damn, I will never fight against these energy giants in the future." Shenlongcheng's group is responsible for the direction of coal mines.

In the control room, many people were frightened, especially those operating melee urban combat weapons, because it was not yet time for melee combat and they were not in the middle of the battle, so they would naturally have more random thoughts.

But this picture is really scary.

Regardless of whether it is the vision frame or the sight, there are always a large number of energy behemoths outside the field of view. If you move casually, you will see the energy behemoths, and you will feel as if you are surrounded.

Xiang Yang is no longer responsible for attacking, only responsible for the movement of Shenlong City, so he is not fighting at the moment, and he is a little frightened to see it.

After all, there are too many.

Of course, they still resisted, and so far they have not let those energy behemoths rush under the outer walls of any city.

Some of the approaching energy behemoths were killed, and some changed their directions and entered the desert area.

However, there is no natural barrier such as the rushing river, the coal mine is an attraction, and the desert area is too wide, so there is no guiding effect, and the energy giants behind continue to rush over.

Of course, many energy behemoths that enter the desert will return again after a circle and launch an attack.

But because the pressure in the direction of the trading yard was reduced, they were still going smoothly. They continued to support each other according to the planned rhythm, using cannons to attack the advancing energy monsters, and did not let these monsters advance into the urban front lines.

Several hours passed, and the energy monster wave showed no signs of ending.

Xiang Yang and the others could only persist.

At this time, they got an alert, which came from a city behind.

"Calling all cities, the light point that Liulicheng warned about before is approaching. It is about sixty kilometers away. There are no other energy behemoths within one kilometer of the light point."

"The distance between most of the energy behemoths that make up the light spots cannot be marked on the radar. Those that can be marked are in whole groups, which is meaningless."

"Judging from these characteristics, there is a high probability that it is a Zerg."

The city's lord gave the alarm, and his voice felt a little trembling.

When the Zerg advance in a planned manner, most of them will be close to each other, so it is difficult to display a certain individual on the radar. After all, it is impossible for the radar to identify a distance of half a meter, one meter, or several meters.

In the wasteland, both energy behemoths and cities are very huge, and the radars in wasteland cities are generally not good at identifying small individuals.

The Zerg are basically the same as the cave lizard monsters we encountered underground last time. They will have a king or a queen, but unlike the more advanced creatures like the cave lizard monsters, the Zerg creatures are of a very low level.

A creature with a low level means lower intelligence, fewer individual ideas, and will be more obedient to the king of the group, and may even be unafraid of death.

Although they are small in size, they cannot tolerate the large numbers, often counting tens of thousands. Some powerful energy behemoths do not dare to provoke the Zerg at will.

Therefore, except for the occasional natural enemies, general energy behemoths will not approach the Zerg and must always keep a safe distance.

Based on these signs, the city lord who provided the alarm made this judgment.

"More than sixty kilometers, very close."

I also saw it on the radar here in Shenlong City. It looked like a large spot of light, a long strip, a bit like a fat greedy snake, and a shape that kept moving forward.

If it is an individual, there is only one light spot displayed on the radar screen, but if it is a group, multiple light spots are close together and superimposed on each other, and sometimes the effect looks like one.

"Watchers, pay attention over there." Xiang Yang ordered.

This group of energy behemoths is coming towards the coal mines, and they have no way to guide them, so they can only resist.

The speed of the greedy snake spot on the radar was also very fast, reaching more than 50 kilometers per hour. After only a moment, the forward appeared within the visual range of the observer.

"Hey, they are really bugs. The first batch are only about ten meters long." A report came from the lookout.

Xiang Yang pulled up an observer's telescope, and what appeared in his field of vision was a mass of black ant-like insects. The backs of those insects were covered with black and white stripes, and some had wings, and there were also stripes on the wings.

This is the striped ant beast, a small energy behemoth and a super large social creature. It usually lives in shallow strata or on the surface where a large number of dead wood ore fragments are accumulated.

The striped ant beast is a relatively terrifying social insect-like energy behemoth with various internal individual abilities.

In addition to the queen, there are also fighting males that can fly, that is, those with wings, as well as females that cannot fly and can only crawl, gathering food, or females with digging claws that can build nests, etc.

But all the striped ant beasts were moving quickly close to the ground, and none of the winged ones flew into the air.

The extremely tall energy beasts walking in front all gave way, forming a cone-shaped open space in front of the striped ant beast passing by.

For the few who failed to dodge, the striped ant beasts climbed directly on top of those energy giants. Before all the striped ant beasts could pass by, only a skeleton was left and collapsed.

Many striped ant beasts were crushed to death by the skeleton, but their formation did not change at all.

This insect army only follows a fixed route and is invincible.

Xiang Yang's heart felt cold when he saw it.

"Forty-five kilometers away, the striped ant beast is approaching. All cities should pay attention and make corresponding battle preparations." Xiang Yang reminded.

"Calling Liuli City, Shenlong City, Gaoshan City, the striped ants over there have given you one group and five groups. Is there any problem?" The Lord of Liuli City also noticed the approach of the Zerg army and asked.

Except for Liuli City, there were only eight groups in total. Two groups were suddenly divided and accounted for a quarter of the strength to deal with it. The Lord of Liuli City also attached great importance to it.

It is similar to the usual assist defense, each group has a leader city.

But this time there are a large number of cities in each group, so there is not only a team leader, but also a deputy team leader. Shenlong City and Gaoshan City are the leaders of Group One and Group Five respectively.

The deputy leader of one group is Changling City.

Because of the strength and experience shown by Shenlong City, they have been serving as the team leader for a long time. Naturally, they will also serve as the team leader for this defense battle.

"No problem." The leaders of the two groups, including Xiang Yang, responded unanimously.

Those striped ant beasts also came from the river bank area. They seemed to use the river bank as the direction line to move forward, and Xiang Yang and his two groups were also located close to the river bank area.

In the past, they also helped defend the trading area on the other side, but now they no longer need to pay attention to the other side, so it is naturally their responsibility.

The current war is a war in which both sides gain and lose, and this must be won.

"We must find the queen of the striped ant beast. If we don't find the queen, it may be difficult for us to do so."

Two groups and thirty-four cities immediately started discussions.

"There are too many of them, covering an area of ​​tens of kilometers. There is no way to find the Queen with radar, nor with direct sight."

Theoretically, as long as the queen of the striped ant beast is taken care of, these insects will become a piece of loose sand.

Because they need to regenerate a queen, this process is very complicated, and not any individual is qualified to become a queen.

Because the queen of the striped ant beast is a special species and has been determined since birth, it cannot be done on the run or on the battlefield.

Multiple queens can be born and compete with each other until only one remains, but it is absolutely impossible for another individual to become the queen.

Therefore, as long as the queen is taken care of, the entire army of striped ant beasts will surely be dispersed.

But even if you rely on lookouts, it will be difficult to find the queen.

Because there are so many striped ant beasts, the queen is only twice the size, and it is difficult to distinguish among such a large number.

After all, this is a Zerg whose march is dozens of kilometers long and five or six miles wide.

"We can only break up the group of insects and let them leave into the desert, or go all the way along the river bank area, and don't let them get close to the mine."

"If you see the queen, it's easy. Find a way to kill her at all costs."

Facing the attack of this insect swarm, they don't have many methods available. They can only use the simplest and most violent method, carpet bombing, to kill everyone who passes by.

Until the queen realizes that this road is dead, she will change her route.

"Also, if those bugs don't attack the city and coal mines, let them pass directly, so we attack later."

The probability is very low.

Because whether they continue to leave through here or stay to occupy the coal mine, this group of striped ant beasts must replenish energy, as do other energy giants.

After all, the cost of traveling long distances is huge, as is the case for any living creature.

As we all know, bugs are fearless and will devour everything they can, making them more difficult to deal with than other energy behemoths.

But it's still something they have to consider.

However, this vision was soon shattered. When the striped ant beast forward was still more than ten kilometers away from the urban front line, it began to turn. In fact, it was only a few turns.

But from this angle, it can be seen that they are rushing towards the city, intending to enter the coal mine.

"Chongzi gave up the original route and planned to attack here. All cities started attacking." There were lookouts in Shenlong City. Xiang Yang and the others could see it most clearly. He would give the order whether to fight or let Chong pass.

Although other cities do not know the specific reasons, they also know that their judgment is the most accurate, so they have always been responsible for the investigation work within the team.
