MTL - Civilization of Azeroth: Start the Great Pyramid-Chapter 374 giant arthropod
"Who's back?"
Not just Li De, everyone looked at Anachronos.
The bronze guard frowned, and finally said with a sigh.
"The Qiraji, they are the real buggers, the brains of the swarm. But how is this possible? All the Qiraji have been sealed behind the wall of beetles thousands of years ago. Our seal is unbreakable. There is absolutely no way they can escape."
Li De didn't know the details of the dragon's seal, so he didn't dwell too much on it.
"Well, since you're so confident, you should explain what's going on with the swarm in front of you."
Anachronos opened his mouth, but in the end he could only come to a very reluctant conclusion.
"Maybe it was a fish that slipped through the sea when it was sealed thousands of years ago? But it shouldn't be... We have already conducted a detailed investigation on the Corrupted Nest and the Great Gap. These two nests only have the lowest level of alien scorpions, and there are no insects at all." The existence of the commander. It is precisely because of this that in order to maintain the balance, we did not decide to wipe out the two insect swarms, but..."
Antonidas was the most knowledgeable among them, and he made a guess.
"Could it be a more advanced individual newly evolved by the two swarms in the past thousand years?"
Mr. Anachronos' return to this.
"I don't know, but it's possible."
Krasus spoke at the right moment.
"It's too early to draw conclusions. You still need to get in touch with the enemies in front of you to understand their quality. If they still behave like the previous enemies, then there is nothing to be afraid of."
Just then Martin Lei walked in quickly.
"The enemy has moved."
Li De quickly raised his binoculars, and saw the army of insects coming over like a tide.
The Union Army also responded quickly, and all arms and units made the last pre-battle inspection and report to ensure that every part could execute orders accurately after the battle started.
"All mages, prepare for the fireball throw."
The person in charge of the frontline mage troops inspected the magic circuit under each mage's feet. Fireball is the lowest level of spells, almost every mage knows it, but what is required on the battlefield is uniformity. The timing of each mage's release of fireball, Elevation and strength must be consistent.
The observers of goblins and dwarves assist the mage troops in the battle. They have the best calculation ability and will calculate the best ballistic trajectory for the mages.
Behind the mage troops are the second columns of Dathrohan and Galvan. After the mage troops complete the early suppression, they will take over the battlefield and start hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
Galvan wiped his giant broadsword carefully, and said eagerly.
"Before I missed the deep sand plain because of repairs, this time I want to let these humble bugs see the orcs, a glorious fighting race."
Dathrohan closed the sacred holy deed in his hand, which was the most precious gift given to him by his most beloved teacher Faol.
A golden light shone on Dathrohan's body, he twisted his wrist, and the 300-jin warhammer turned briskly like a child's rattle in his hand.
Dathrohan listened to Galfan's rivalry, patted his shoulder and said with a smile.
"I have a deep understanding of what you said."
Galvan shook his head and smiled wryly, not forgetting to punch back the opponent. After so many years, Dathrohan and the Frostwolf Warlord have become close comrades-in-arms, and they can joke without any scruples.
Of course, for Dathrohan, he was limited to the Frostwolf orcs, and he still regarded the orcs from the old tribe as enemies.
After a few jokes, the two embraced their weapons in a tacit understanding to keep their breathing steady. The best veterans know that peace of mind is the only way to win on the battlefield.
"..."
Neither of them spoke, but after a long time, they couldn't help being upset. The time agreed to take over the battlefield had already passed, but there was still no news from the mage army.
"what happened?"
Dathrohan muttered strangely.
Garvanjo stood up, slung the broadsword over his shoulder.
"I'll go and have a look."
When Galvan came to the front line, the mage commander gave a standard military salute.
"Deputy Commander."
"What's the situation? Why hasn't there been a firefight yet?"
Regarding Galvan's questioning, the commander also seemed a little embarrassed.
"Report to the deputy commander, the enemy is not within the attack range."
Galvan narrowed his eyes as the swarm kicked up a cloud of dust just across the way. This is already a distance that can be directly observed by the naked eye, but the enemy just moves around and hesitates there.
"How far are they from us now?"
"About 800 meters, this distance exceeds the maximum range of the spell throw."
"I see, you stay on guard. This is probably an enemy conspiracy. As long as the enemy comes within range, I ask you to launch an attack immediately."
After issuing this order, Galfan returned to the headquarters with strong anxiety, and reported to Li De together with Dathrohan.
The delay in the exchange of fire on the front line has also aroused the vigilance of the high command. The enemy's intentions are difficult to understand. The only reference is the experience from Anachronos.
"Insects will dig caves to raid, and they will also attack in a roundabout way to set up tricks. They have not launched an attack, and they are probably looking for targets that can interfere with our decision-making."
Anachronos now completely regards the swarm of Tanaris as the Qiraji to think about the problem, but he is still subconsciously avoiding the source of the worms, because he does not believe that his seal will cause problems.
"Ha, is it just a conspiracy of this level? Then they will be miscalculated. Our strategic depth is unparalleled. All key cities are in the rear, and the frontline battlefields protect them like gold.
And the land behind us is protected by the spirits of the elements, loa, and the bronze dragon king. It is simply wishful thinking for the swarm to invade our core area by digging holes. "
Martin made a conclusion with confidence, but Li De and the others were not so optimistic. The Elemental Spirits, Loa, and Bronze Dragon King are indeed powerful, but the Zerg race is also an ancient ethnic group with a history no less than them. It has dominated the underground world for countless years, and it must not be underestimated.
After Li De frowned and thought for a while, he gave the latest instructions.
"Since it is difficult to ascertain the enemy's intentions, all we can do is to do what we should do. From a defensive point of view, our current army deployment is fine. The most taboo in this situation is blind action.
Galfan's actions were correct. The entire army was on alert in the area of responsibility, and as long as the enemy appeared within the attack range, it would immediately strike resolutely. But in anything other than that, the ministries are not allowed to act without authorization until the new order arrives.
Any actions by the enemy that disturb the morale of the army must be ignored, and all actions are subject to our orders. "
Just as the order was conveyed, Lothar, who had been thinking, spoke.
"Li De, will you fight a battle that you must lose?"
Li De looked at Lothar wonderingly.
"Marshal, what did you say?"
"I mean, we think too much from our own point of view. At first glance, if the swarm successfully attacks the Clear Spring Plains, it will indeed grasp the most northward and deepest position, and gain an advantage for the next attack on Gadgetzan.
But in fact, attacking the Qingquan Plain means placing one's own army between the deep sand plain and the Cave of Time, which go south from the east and west sides. die as much as you want.
After suffering a big loss in the ancient city of Petra, the enemy has no reason to think that it is easy to take down the Great Pyramid. Judging from the swarm's conscious attack on Quicksand Town, I find it hard to believe that they will have such a behavior of courting death. "
After Lothar's analysis was over, everyone opened up their minds, and Krasus then made a conjecture.
"If they are doing this now, if they are not confused, then they have the confidence to stand on the Qingquan Plain. If they are not delusional to take down the Great Pyramid in a short time, then they want to establish a military stronghold here!"
"Anachronos, do the worms master very advanced transformation or evocation spells?"
The Grand Magister Antonidas asked questions from the field, and he couldn't think of any way to quickly build a fortress.
"Insects are not proficient in magic, and thousands of years ago, we mainly fought against the Insects in the wild, and there has never been a strategic confrontation around strongholds..."
Anachronos was embarrassing, and as the battle progressed, he found that his experience was of little help, and the enemy became increasingly unpredictable.
At this moment, Muen, who was in charge of observing the changes of the elements, walked in.
"Several commanders, the earth is restless again."
The battle between Elemental Wars and Quicksand Town made the alliance see the important role of shamans, and all commanders expressed their respect for shamans.
"Is the swarm digging underground?"
"No, something is breaking out of the ground! South of the defense line, our influence is very weak, and it is difficult to stop that thing from appearing."
When Muen said this, his expression was extremely serious. He named the earth, but there were things in the earth that he couldn't understand.
call~~
Sudden! Everyone was in a trance for a moment, and there was a brief dizziness at the same time just now, and the ground under their feet seemed to be turning over.
"That thing is coming! We worked hard together with Torcalizun~www.novelbuddy.com~ but couldn't stop it..."
Li De rubbed his face to clear himself up.
"Shaman Muen, it doesn't matter if you don't know what that thing is, we will see it soon, how to deal with it next is a question we have to think about."
At this moment, Lothar patted Li De on the shoulder.
"This thing is the organ of a bug?"
Looking in the direction of Lothar's finger, eight 50-meter-high joints stretched out of the ground in a circle less than one kilometer southwest of the Great Pyramid!
And its twitching from time to time makes one's scalp tingle even more. It's just that the limbs are so big, so how big is the body of this thing underground? ! Just thinking about it is enough to make one despair.
