By this time, swarms of zerglings had already forced their way over the city wall. Ignoring the soldiers trying to block them, they launched an attack on a fortress inside the city.
“Not good! The enemy is trying to destroy the city defense array!”
The defensive strength in this area was of the highest caliber.
Most of the Tier 7 and Tier 8 warriors in the City Guard had formed phalanxes here to stand guard.
With a series of violent impacts, the zerglings slammed hard into these soldiers.
Tier 6 units charging against Tier 7 and Tier 8—even though the odds of victory were slim, not a single zergling faltered.
At that moment, several hydralisks also forced their way onto the wall. Under the cover of the zerglings, they fired bone spines directly at the phalanxes below.
The battle had reached a point of absolute life and death.
“1st Battalion, move up! Do not let the enemy destroy the city defenses!”
The 3rd Legion commander immediately ordered the soldiers near him to provide support.
Five hundred man phalanxes charged in that direction, but a wave of scourges launched a dive bombing run against them.
A series of explosions rang out directly on their bodies.
New plasma bombardments descended from the sky once again. In their suicidal charge, even more zerglings leaped into the interior of the city wall.
Of course, such a battle was still disadvantageous for the Swarm. The scent of magic drifted everywhere inside the city.
If this were a world of cultivation, this would be the equivalent of forcing one's way into a sect protected by a mountain guarding array. Even if one's average quality was higher, it was difficult to gain an advantage.
For the insects, the massive number of mages, the magical aura on the walls, the human soldiers standing on the walls, and the City Guard and 3rd Legion soldiers closing in from all sides were almost all threats in such an environment.
But...
The insects were ultimately more fearless of death. After more and more heavy firepower covered the area, the speed of human reinforcement finally could not keep up with the rate of attrition.
Under the cover of more and more hydralisks, scourges, and ravagers, the phalanxes here were finally broken.
Powerful Tier 6 zerglings forced their way through the main gates and stormed into the building.
The dozens of mages inside were slaughtered instantly, not a single one left alive.
A device over 20 meters in diameter, floating with a large number of magic crystal stones, collapsed with a thunderous boom after hundreds of attacks.
One of the energy supply points for the entire wall defense instantly went dark.
At this moment, the zerglings crawling upward found that with their full strength, they could now carve shallow marks into the walls.
“Tier 6 can damage it now. Excellent.”
Immediately, the fire roaches shifted all their attack directions.
Over a hundred high temperature plasma shells fell directly onto a section of the city wall.
Huge holes, dozens of centimeters deep, were blasted into the massive wall.
The hydralisks in the rear also attempted to attack, constantly stripping away the surface of the wall.
Although the damage from a single attack was small, it could not withstand the focused fire.
Less than a minute later, a section of the wall about 7 meters wide finally could not hold out and collapsed with a roar.
Thirty roaches immediately braved the enemy's cannon fire and launched a charge toward the gap. Large groups of scourges quickly cleared the human warriors around the wall, making full preparations to open the breach.
Ten seconds later, locusts and zerglings had already rushed to the gap in the wall, launching an assault into the interior.
However, at this time, a thousand man unit from the 3rd Legion had already arrived. They formed a dense spear net and engaged in a fierce slaughter with the insects.
...
“Almost there. This section below is not hindered by the magic shield.”
Having received word from the lurkers, Xia Jin grinned.
At the same time, the insects began to blast gaps in other areas of the city wall.
Meanwhile, a nydus worm began to rapidly approach the enemy from underground.
Two roaches entered from the first gap. Braving the enemy's attacks, they directly slammed into and broke the front row phalanxes.
After a stalemate of two minutes, lurkers had finally slipped into the ground inside the city. They suddenly released a row of sharp earth spikes from the left side toward a large group of soldiers.
This wave of flanking attacks immediately caused the defense line to tremble.
Countless magic fireballs flew over in an attempt to stop the insects from entering the ranks, but they could not be held back in the end.
The zerglings smashed through the lines, tore open a gap, and rushed one by one into the city estates.
At that moment, over 20 meters away, a building suddenly collapsed. A nydus worm with a diameter of about ten meters burst out of the ground like an ancient behemoth.
Mud and stone splashed everywhere as it instantly rose to nearly 20 meters high. It opened its massive maw and spat out a large swarm of zerglings.
A colossal ultralisk ran out. With a swing of its blade, several soldiers were swatted away like scraps of paper.
“What is this?”
The Tier 8 general standing nearby watched in shock as this monster, the size of a building, rushed out.
Whether it was the nydus worm or the suddenly appearing ultralisk, both were beyond his comprehension.
With a violent stomp, the ultralisk directly crushed two buildings and began to rampage through the streets.
Dozens of warriors suffered heavy losses under a single charge from the ultralisk. They were either crushed to death by its terrifying weight or sent flying by the insane impact force.
Every time the scythe blades swung, someone was cut in half at the waist.
This ultralisk, leading a large swarm of zerglings, began a fierce charge through the streets.
The Tier 8 warrior immediately rushed forward, unleashing his full strength to strike down. However, the dazzling light of his blade only cut less than 30 centimeters into the ultralisk’s shell and could go no deeper. Instead, the ultralisk swung its body, sending him flying with a scream.
