The Tyrant Strikes

“Where did all these monsters come from?”

To be called monsters by demons themselves was a testament to how bizarre the Zerg's appearance truly was.

In truth, from the perspective of any normal creature's aesthetic, many of the insects were quite repulsive.

Their appearances were inherently intimidating. For instance, to Xia Jin, the zerglings looked fiercely adorable; no matter how vicious they acted, they weren't truly scary to her—they were even a bit cute. But in the eyes of the enemy, they were the stuff of nightmares.

Although demons were fierce in appearance, they considered themselves relatively approachable (or at least the Tyrant thought so) compared to the completely incomprehensible forms of the Zerg.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

Since the Swarm was clearing out its old inventory, and a large number of supplies had been transported from the rear, the rocket bugs were being launched continuously toward the advancing demons after being hastily loaded onto the unicycles.

To the current Zerg, these rocket bugs were already relics of an outdated era.

However, when the quantity was high enough, even ordinary firecrackers thrown together could produce immense power. Under the mindset that these were cheap and could be thrown away at will, the rocket bugs were fired indiscriminately.

This wave saw another 500,000 rocket bugs sent from the outside.

The subsequent numbers were endless. It was estimated that in two days, nearly ten million would be delivered to this side.

Faced with such exaggerated firepower, Talon directly led his legion to launch a charge.

A dark, dense tide of demons surged from the distance, a sight so spectacular it rivaled an epic blockbuster.

But the Zerg had already experienced countless battles on a much larger scale. As the demons charged, a large number of long-range units began their counterattack.

The arrows of the elf bugs were like slender lances of light, tracing luminous arcs through the air and repeatedly piercing through the bodies of the demons.

Amidst their frantic advance, massive figures constantly collapsed to the ground.

The ravagers lowered their bodies, and the scorching lava furnaces on their backs launched fireballs that rained down upon the demon army.

By the time the main force had charged to within 500 meters of the Zerg, the number of demons who had fallen along the way had already exceeded 5,000.

At this moment, Xia Jin ordered the Swarm to begin its charge.

The two sides collided on the earth with a roar.

It was a battle of flying flesh and blood, exactly as expected.

In close combat, the zerglings in their Frenzy state clearly held a technical advantage. Unfortunately, there were too many enemies at Tier 10 or above. Under such tier suppression, the losses among the zerglings were exceptionally heavy.

The real damage was primarily dealt by the long-range firepower from the rear.

When balancing the casualties of both sides, the Swarm's losses were slightly higher.

Standing at a high vantage point behind the main force, the succubus watched the battle before turning to glance at Xia Jin.

Seeing the girl's relaxed expression, she couldn't help but ask, “Can we really win like this?”

“This isn't all I have. Even if there were no further reinforcements, we could just blow these guys to bits with rocket bugs. Besides... Brain Bug No. 1 has already mobilized one million main force units to enter the Abyss. It would be truly unbelievable if a mere Demon Tyrant could block my invasion.”

For Xia Jin, launching an offensive was a simple matter. The reason the Zerg's entry was slow was partly because she needed to conduct a brief investigation to ensure the Abyss's strength wasn't too absurd. Now that this had been confirmed, it wasn't a major issue.

The other reason was the limitation on the speed of troop mobilization from the home planet.

The main force located on the East Continent totaled only about 500,000, and it was impossible to bring them all over. After all, various regions still required Zerg management.

Of course, under the surveillance of a massive number of scouting insects, as well as some Overlords and overseers, it was impossible for the locals to cause any trouble.

As for the Swarm on the West Continent, while their numbers were vast, they required the currently limited number of ships to be transported here.

Because she had to move her main force, the Zerg didn't even dare to send underwater Zerg into the eastern sea. If they provoked the Sea Race there, the transport ships might be overturned.

The current focus of the offensive remained the Great West Sea.

The intensity of the attack there was enough to make any member of the Sea Race break down.

Millions of Swimmers were dropped into the water every day, attacking almost day and night. The sharkmen had already retreated more than 1,500 kilometers away, forced to resist the Zerg advance alongside other strange aquatic races.

Some powerful Sea Race tribes living in the deep-sea regions were also forced to join the battle early.

Because there were simply too many Zerg, if they didn't resist now, they would be the ones to suffer later.

The emotionless nature of the Swarm—where even Tier 10 individuals of the Sea Race didn't intimidate them—had sent the entire Sea Race into a state of panic.

At first, those powerful tribes had directly raised a massive army of tens of millions to counterattack the Swarm. However, as the fighting went on, they gradually discovered that the Zerg's numbers were even greater.

Although the overall strength of the Zerg was not yet equal to the creatures of the core sea regions, every single one of them was capable of long-range attacks with immense power. As the war dragged on, the Sea Race legions were forced into a steady retreat.

Tens of millions of corpses every day had dyed vast stretches of the ocean a bright crimson.
