Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

124 Meteor
The stars are shining brightly, under the night sky at dawn, there are little sparks.

The fire on the city wall was gradually extinguished, and the insect swarm in the front did not hesitate for a moment, launching another crazy attack.

This is not only a strong attack, but also to attract the lizard people's attention on the frontal battlefield to the greatest extent, and create opportunities for the west swarm to enter the city smoothly.

Different from the eastern battlefield where the city walls were crazily stormed today, as the real main attackers, they not only needed to attack the city from the rear, but also needed to hold the opponent's granary in the west of the city under the tight defense of the lizardmen.

This is the real purpose of zero, these food is the most precious resource in the whole city for the Zerg!
But it is not an easy task to accomplish this, because under Sommer's reminder, the first time it was confirmed that the Zerg appeared to attack the city, Toril had ordered people to place firelights near the granary. Just in case, if the swarm really broke through the city wall, at least it would not allow such a large amount of food to be used by the enemy.

The amount of this batch of grain is very large, including the surplus of grain and grass that was dispatched to attack the jungle barbarian empire, and this time Toril concentrated some of the grain in the territory of the swarm generals. It is not an exaggeration to say that it piled up into mountains , it can be said that they are fully prepared for a protracted war, which is far from comparable to the lizardman territory in the jungle.

However, Toril never imagined that under the frenzied attack of the Zerg, the frontal battlefield was already in ruins in just a few hours. While they were causing damage to the Zerg, their own losses were also following Slow growth over time.

Unlike this group of restless Zergs, Lizardmen warriors will get tired, frightened, and even collapse under continuous battles. It takes time to adjust, and no one can stay focused forever. A little loophole can be fatal.Therefore, they can only defend with rounds of defense.

If the swarm maintains such an attacking intensity, not to mention how long the resources in the city can last in this situation, if they continue to fight day and night, even if they are all elites, they will not be able to persist how long.

In all previous wars, none of their enemies could do as much as the Zerg!
After struggling to repel the swarm again, Toril has become pessimistic about the idea of ​​a protracted war that he had imagined before.Once the city is breached, according to the information obtained from Sommer, this batch of food that should have been used to resist the enemy will become the food for the enemy to grow rapidly!

If this batch of food falls into the hands of the Zerg, it will simply give the Zerg wings to take off.So no matter what, even if it is burned, he will never be allowed to be obtained by the Zerg!

The war has just begun, but after he truly understood the strength of the swarm, he seems to have seen the end...

It's just that the war will continue. As the commander and lord, it is impossible for him to just give up the eastern portal of the empire.

However, all his arrangements did not hide from Zero who kept the explorers staring at the opponent's granary.

Although it may be more difficult, He still has to try. It is a pity that such a large amount of food was burned like this.If possible, He hopes to seize control of the granary with lightning speed before the lizardmen make a move!

Therefore, the swarm attacking from the frontal attack was extremely powerful this time, in order to attract the defensive forces in the city as much as possible and create opportunities for the swarm brigade in the west of the city to prepare for a surprise attack.

In order to deal with the frenzied swarms of insects, Toril had to mobilize the reserve team from the rear, using crossbows to cause damage to the swarms in front of him as much as possible, and relieve the pressure on the city.

Under the watchful eyes of the explorers, there is no secret about the movement of troops in the city.

As more and more fresh troops were mobilized to the east of the city to resist the attack of the Zerg, there were fewer and fewer troops in the city that could be used as mobile support.

Zero thinks that the time has come.

Under the night, the silent Zerg land units had already gathered in the shadows under the city wall, and the next moment they were silently climbing up the wall in the blind spot of the lizardman's sight.

In the dim light, with the dark appearance of the Zerg, it would be difficult to find them if they did not observe deliberately, or have the ability to see things like Sommer.

Different from the big fanfare on the frontal battlefield, this swarm of insects can be said to be extremely cautious.

Because they are charged with the mission of sneak attacking the granary, Zero has to be so careful. The only feasible way to do this is to control the granary before the lizardmen react, otherwise with the other party's preparations, once the fire If it is ignited, it will be difficult for the Zerg to grab food from it.

Only by holding the granary in his own hands before this, can Ling get the most important supplies for the Zerg in this city as he wishes.

There are not many of them, only a hundred or so. After all, although the city walls are tall, there are not many places where they can hide.

But these are enough, they are not going to fight the lizardmen warriors at the head of the city, their goal is only the granary!

…………

For Xicheng, which is in the rear, although it is not defenseless, it is indeed far less rigorous than the front. This is not only reflected in the number of people, materials, and defensive weapons are not at the same level at all.

Obviously, the lizard people didn't pay much attention to the defense of their rear, or they didn't think there would be any attack here.

After all, everything beyond here is the territory of the empire. If it is attacked here, the situation in the entire rear must have been corrupted.

But now that the Zerg has arrived here, it can be said that regardless of the outcome of this battle, the Lizardmen will lose a lot.

Because the Zerg Swarm has actually crossed their carefully set defense line, although the hinterland of the empire today is not defenseless against the Zerg, in a short period of time, there will indeed not be too many obstacles.

Of course, if you can get this batch of grain, it will undoubtedly be a great thing.

The insects slowly climbing up the city wall waited silently. Their purpose was to cross the city wall directly and rush towards the granary, and take control of the granary first.As for the lizardman soldiers on the city wall, there will naturally be follow-up insect swarms to deal with them.

On the other side of the granary, the explorers have figured out the details around the warehouse, where the inflammables are arranged, where the torches are placed, and even which guards have flints or firelighters on them. Got it.

Because of the need to consider the concealment, the number of the first batch of Zerg that crossed the city wall and rushed into the city cannot be too large, so each of them has its own goal, or extinguish the torch, or kill the main enemy, or destroy fuel.

Zero is doing its best to ensure the safety of this batch of food.

At the same time, based on his understanding of the lizardman race, he didn't think that under such a sudden attack by the Zerg, the guards of the other's granary would set fire to the food so decisively. Just by surrounding Hurley City, they would starve to death inside.Until the last moment, the opponent will never do this easily, and this is the Zerg's opportunity.

The lizard people's defensive forces on the top of Helixi City are very conventional. They can be roughly divided into two types. One is fixed posts. There will be a guard in charge of guarding every five or six meters. This will not change.

In addition, there are patrols, who are responsible for patrolling the entire city wall. While the fighting in the east is fierce, they have obviously increased their vigilance, and sometimes look below the city wall.

However, the swarm was well hidden and was not discovered.And they have already climbed up to the corner of the city, and the swarm of insects hiding in the shadows are waiting for them.

If you want to break into the city as quickly as possible, you can't get entangled with these guards, so they need to avoid the patrols at the first moment of attack.

This opportunity is not difficult to wait for. As the patrol team holding torches gradually moved away and gradually swam to the other side of the city wall, the swarm no longer covered them. The Zerg that had already climbed the city wall jumped up and ignored them The lizardman soldiers who were stunned nearby quickly passed through the city wall. Before they could react, the first worm had already jumped off the city wall and ran in one direction. Behind it, there were also a large number of worms. !
At the same time, the sharp and ear-piercing warning sound had already sounded, but they had no time to turn around and chase the swarm of insects rushing into the city, because within the visible range of vision outside the city, there were dense swarms of insects rushing towards the city wall. !
Under the city wall, a steady stream of Zerg no longer had any scruples, and they were climbing up without any scruples. In just a few minutes, the swarms that had been prepared for a long time had already climbed up to the top of the city like ants from the bottom of the city wall. The opponent didn't have time to take too many defensive measures, and the entire west wall had already been breached by the Zerg.

Almost effortless!
Only a few Lizardman soldiers who reacted quickly kicked over the oil drum when there was no need to delay, and ignited the kerosene flowing down the city wall and even between the wall stacks.

However, this can only be regarded as a little trouble for the Zerg raid. With the fall of the city wall, thousands of Zerg have rushed into the city from the west side, and some of them will go to assist the final attack. Most of the insect swarms that were responsible for seizing the granary went straight to the lizardmen's camp, where Toril's last new force was located, and it was also the only remaining resistance force of the lizardmen besides the city walls.

Toril still had the foresight. Long before the war started, he used his prestige and power to forcibly relocate all the civilians in Heli City. While preparing for the war, he also avoided the loss of life.Otherwise, at this moment, if the Zerg rushed into it, the whole city would be bloodied.

Even so, when the main force of the Zerg invaded the Lizardman camp, it was also a bloodbath.

Compared with the strict defense on the top of the city, the defense in the camp is too simple. For the Zerg, the horse thorns are no different from non-existence.If the opponent is also a lizardman, then these defensive measures may be able to play a little role, at least it can delay for a while.But for the swarm, they can't even stop it a little bit.

Even after hearing the warning, the lizardmen warriors had assembled their armed forces as quickly as possible, and there was no way to resist the tide-like swarm of insects in a hurry.

In a real head-to-head confrontation, wherever the Zergs passed, they encountered very little strong resistance, and the balance of victory had completely tipped over to the Zergs shortly after the two sides fought.

On the other side of the granary, the sudden swarm of insects made all the guards panic. Whether to fight back and kill the insects that broke into the city, or just ignore and light the granary, they could not make a decision and could only passively greet them. To the swarm.

On the other hand, the insect swarm, their goal is very clear, that is to eliminate all the existence that threatens the granary, whether it is lizardmen, torch oil or even flint.

At the beginning of the battle, no one had the courage to directly ignite the fire that was destined to burn all the food and grass under such circumstances, even if they had received Toril's instructions, after all, the number of Zerg that came didn't seem too large If there are too many, perhaps it only needs to fight hard to repel it, and once the fire is ignited, there is no turning back.

However, when the swarms from the rear came up with support one after another, they gradually fell into a desperate situation.The Zerg completely controlled the situation in the shortest possible time. All the torches were extinguished, the flammable objects were forcibly cleaned up, and the guards holding the firelighters were directly killed.

So far, everything has been too late.

...............

On the west side of the city wall, under the reflection of the flames, Toril, the Marquis of the Empire, flickered on and off. Of course, he had already heard the news that the Zerg rushed into Heli from the rear, and all the worries in his heart turned into reality in an instant. , the back that has been standing upright for decades is no longer as straight as before, as if the whole person has lost his vitality.

With his practical qualities, or just a little bit of military common sense, everyone will understand that his side is hopeless.

The back road was cut off, the military barracks in the city had been breached, there were enemies in front, back, left, and right, and the swarms of insects that could not be seen at a glance were crazily attacking the city wall at every moment, and soldiers died every minute and every second.

No one wants to escape, because there is no way to escape, they exhausted all means at hand, desperately killing the swarm of insects in front of them, but the moment the city was broken, the fate of the city, the fate of all of them, Everything is doomed.

The swarms below the city were still climbing up non-stop, and had almost gained a foothold on the top of the city several times, causing more and more casualties to the lizardmen warriors, even Toril himself was fighting He was injured in the middle, his left arm was pierced by a bug, if not for the personal guards who swore to protect him, he would even die on the spot.

However, it is clear to everyone that in this case, death is only a matter of time.

Toril also thought the same way. He was no longer young, and his body was declining irresistibly due to the growth of age. After the Zerg invaded the city, his face, which was not yet old, now looked a little gray.

Looking at Erlang who was still struggling to fight in front of him, his bloody face reflected in the firelight gradually calmed down, the fighting and noise around him seemed to disappear suddenly, and above the city, he slowly raised his head .

In the bright light of the fire, a bright star flashed across the dawn sky, and it was fleeting.

It was a shooting star.
