“Cavalry units, the rear line has broken through! Everyone, follow them!”
“Kill—”
As countless locusts were consumed by fireballs, more and more soldiers of the 12th Legion began to follow the unit in their charge.
Of course, at this moment, the majority of the army was still being bogged down by the main Zerg forces to the north and east.
The total force that actually had a chance to break through numbered no more than five thousand.
Seeing a crowd of this scale launch an assault, even Xia Jin could only urge the arriving zerglings to move faster.
Fortunately, zerglings possessed high mobility.
Less than two minutes after the locusts had struggled to delay the human soldiers, over three thousand zerglings had already circled to the rear, forming a small encirclement around the breakout forces.
By this time, a large number of hydralisks and lurkers had also arrived on the scene.
Among them were quite a few infestors.
Since the enemy's attention was focused on the locusts and the newly arrived zerglings, these infestors took the opportunity to burrow and move slowly underground.
Soon, the distance between the two sides closed to just over two hundred meters.
Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy had not noticed them, fifty infestors suddenly leaped out from among the locusts. They opened their mouths and spat out liquid filled with massive amounts of neural toxins and spores.
The liquid was encased in spheres that crashed heavily into the enemy's formation.
Some of them struck the magical barrier released by the mage unit, instantly bursting and corroding the surface of the translucent film with a terrifying sizzling sound.
The soldiers struck by the spores were far less fortunate.
As these things landed, their bodies were instantly hit by a wave of paralysis.
A sense of weakness swept through them, as if their bodies were being eroded by some strange power.
Even worse, everyone's speed and reaction times were affected. Even the Tier 6 experts among them felt their speed drop by about twenty percent. As for the Tier 3 soldiers, they were directly frozen in place.
Large swarms of locusts began to retreat and clear the way. Then, the lurkers quickly crawled to a few hundred meters away, burrowed, and released countless ground spines.
The sharp blades tore through the earth, cutting through the affected warriors row by row.
Terrifying casualties occurred instantly, and the army providing the rear guard was shattered in a moment.
The majority of those who had not been subjected to the dual attack of the infestors and lurkers soon found themselves facing the three thousand zerglings that had just arrived as reinforcements.
The main forces of both sides collided.
Clearly, relying on these zerglings alone would not be enough to perfectly block the enemy.
However, the hydralisks had already prepared their ranged firepower.
In an instant, bone spines thundered through the air, bombarding the people on the field with heavy impacts.
The sound of violent explosions filled the air, and the battlefield instantly became exceptionally cruel. Countless powerful warriors, who had clearly cultivated for many years, still couldn't withstand a single wave of bone spines and were pierced straight through.
“It looks like I might not need the banelings after all.”
Xia Jin calculated that her banelings' deterrent power wasn't as great as that terrifying Combined Magic. Of course, releasing them together would definitely be stronger, but it would be a waste.
This kind of self-destructing unit should be used in a better place, such as...
“Hmm, the legion commander.”
Watching Legion Commander Mir lead a group of cavalry and charge into the zergling formation that had initially attacked from the north, killing dozens with a single strike, Xia Jin's eyelids twitched violently.
“Damn it, over a thousand units of energy gone in a single swing.”
Over twenty relatively scattered zerglings were wiped out instantly.
With a single swing, the opponent could actually unleash a blade of light dozens of meters long. With one horizontal sweep, the insects were all cut in half at the waist.
With this god of slaughter leading the way, the momentum of the insects in this direction was directly suppressed.
A large number of hydralisks immediately fired bone spines at him. For a moment, over ten spines actually hit this powerful warrior.
Unfortunately, after the explosions cleared, the man was completely unharmed.
The teal light glowing on his body seemed to possess a life of its own, vaguely forming a shield around him.
“He doesn't just have Tier 8 vitality; he also has a massive amount of magic buffs.”
Xia Jin rubbed her temples.
She looked at herself; even if she could actually win, she wouldn't go up there.
It was better to stay hidden in the back.
“Send in the baneling unit.”
The hydralisks' bone spines were at least Tier 6, which was quite taxing for this powerhouse to consume.
The trouble was that among the hundreds of people the legion commander had brought with him, there were actually over ten Tier 7s and more than a hundred Tier 6s.
A battalion like this immediately pierced into the heart of the Swarm like a sharp blade.
The entire battle line was forcibly torn open.
Meanwhile, the banelings that had just finished gathering in the east were currently hurrying to climb onto the catapults that had just been moved over.
“This thing might be a bit underwhelming.”
Xia Jin made a comparison.
“No other choice. Fire.”
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The massive catapult equipment launched a volley. Driven by the magic crystals, the banelings were shot out, falling in a dense cluster toward the path of the charging cavalry.
Considering the enemy was hacking and slashing their way through, this volley was actually fired with a certain amount of lead.
Soon, Legion Commander Mir, riding his warhorse, sensed the danger coming from the sky.
Looking up, he saw at least two hundred creatures with eerie appearances flying rapidly toward him.
“This is bad.”
Buzz—
Many warriors swung their blades at this moment.
Since the distance had already closed to a few dozen meters, the legion commander hit a target with a single strike.
