Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 125
Bogus, the capital of the Sudman Empire, and the emperor Plov stood on a high platform in the palace, also looking at the fleeting meteor in the sky.

According to the ancient legends of the Lizardmen, all mortals are transformed by stars all over the sky. Some of them are mediocre, and the originally bright stars will also dim, while some are amazing and brilliant. Leading the coquettish, the star he represents will also be extremely bright.

If one day the stars fall across the sky and fall down, it means...

Fall!

An astonishing person who has done enough to influence the world in his life has passed away.

For some reason, at this moment Prov suddenly thought of Toril, who insisted on going his own way not long ago. With his achievements, he should be worthy of a shooting star.

Then he laughed again, turned and left.

"It's just a legend..."

…………

Toril stood on the city wall, and the surrounding soldiers surrounded him tightly. At this time, the city wall was already full of insects.

The granary was occupied, the barracks were smashed, and the entire city of Hurley was bloodied under the attack.

The frontal swarms rushed to the city wall again and again, and were repelled by the elite empire commanded by Toril again and again.It's just that each time, they pay a higher price.

After the defeated soldiers in the rear barracks retreated below the eastern city wall, he knew that this majestic city that had stood on the border of the empire for hundreds of years and resisted countless barbarian invasions for the empire throughout the ages had come to an end today.

The insect swarms on the east and west sides had already pressed under the city wall, launching fierce attacks again and again.

Although the elites of the empire were still bloodless and fought bloody battles even at the last moment, there were too many insect swarms. After breaking through the military camp in the city, the lizardmen were no longer able to organize a large-scale resistance.

Now, apart from the Lizardmen soldiers whose heads can be seen at a glance on the top of the city wall, all the Zergs are on both sides of the city wall!
When did the failure start?
Surrounded by the most elite personal soldiers and throwing off the commander of the guards who tried to force him to break through, Toril couldn't help thinking so.

He knew that he was determined not to escape.In normal times, even if he was defeated, his own soldiers would escort him back to the rear to regroup, and then quickly make a comeback.There is no general in this world who is always victorious and invincible. In his decades of military career, victory and defeat are nothing but ordinary.

But this time he knew very well that there would be no such opportunity again.

Relying on the protection of the city wall, this group of the most valiant warriors in the empire can hold on for a while longer. Once they are allowed to force themselves to break through and rush under the city wall, they will be overwhelmed by the boundless swarm of insects in an instant.

At the last moment, he looked at the ugly and ferocious insects that seemed to be everywhere in the darkness and under the firelight, and he finally understood the phrase "these insects are wise" written on the white cloth. What does it mean.

Without real contact, there will never be such a personal experience.

They must have sneaked into the mountain forest scattered, escaped the guards they had arranged, and easily came to their weakly defended rear.

This is the wisdom shown by them!

In a blink of an eye, he saw a tiny, almost invisible insect flapping its wings quietly like a mosquito through the light of the fire.

He remembered the phrase "they are almost everywhere" on the white cloth.

It turns out that all the information on that white cloth, every sentence or even every word is very important!
I had already known everything in advance, mobilized resources, integrated soldiers, and forcibly resisted all pressures, so that I was able to fight this group of ugly Zerg head-on.

However, he really had no way to defend against such a tiny swarm of insects. When he found the first one, he soon found the second one on the top of the city, and the third one...

As it says on the white cloth, they are everywhere, they are watching themselves all the time!

One's own knowledge of the Zerg is extremely limited, but the other party has obtained everything of himself in this way!
They are not beasts, they are intelligent!

At this moment, Toril really realized what this sentence meant, intelligence collection, breaking into pieces, roundabout outflanking, night attack, attacking everywhere...

Is this...their wisdom?
He finally clearly realized the true horror of the Zerg.It's always shallow on paper, and some things can only be felt when you experience them yourself.

At the same time, he is also very clear that facing such an enemy, his life may end here.

He has been a soldier all his life, and he has seldom failed for the empire's southern and northern wars. Although he has the help of his family, he can become the empire's leading noble marquis, and it is more of an honor to fight on the battlefield with a knife and a gun.

Therefore, he is proud.

Now, looking at those imperial elites who followed him all over the world in front of him desperately driving the bugs off the city wall and sacrificing almost every moment, he felt that he should be proud, but it was not because of the marquis of the empire, nor because of What commander of the three armies, or because of the lords of the East, just because of them, those soldiers who died under the minions of the Zerg one by one!
Those life and death brothers who entrusted their lives with all their strength on the battlefield resisted the footsteps of the god of death coming towards them, desperately pushing forward their ever-regressing countdown to life!
But as their commander in chief, how could he hide behind and let them fight alone?
Thinking in this way, he once again drew out the treasured sword in his waist, and the cold light under the firelight was cold.

Although people are old, the knife never grows old.

He looked at his pro-military commander, the young general who seemed extremely anxious, he had single-handedly discovered and promoted him from the bottom. He was smart, studious, and capable, and now he was able to take charge of his own.

It's a pity that I have to die here with myself...

He knew that the anxiety was not for himself, it was for him, for him Toril could live but couldn't find any way!
He looked at him, and stared at the general he had cultivated with all his strength.For a moment, those eyes were as bright and calm as usual, and there was a convincing demeanor exuding from Toril, which was the unique charm of him over the years!

Looking at each other, the anxious young general quickly calmed down. He saw the determination and death in the depths of Toril's eyes as deep as a silent lake. After a little silence, he gave up his anxiety and said calmly. Nodding, he dropped the crossbow in his hand and also drew out the long knife at his waist.

In the next second, there was a forest of long knives around, and an old roar passed through the noisy battlefield, clearly reaching the ears of every soldier, as loud as it was back then.

"kill!!"

Every surviving warrior let out a roar that seemed to come from the bottom of their hearts.

"kill!!!"

The commander took the lead, surrounded by his own soldiers, surrounded by many elites of the empire, and resolutely launched the final attack on the seemingly endless swarm of insects that had climbed the city wall.

They are the elite of the empire, the elite of the empire who have rarely been defeated across the continent, even if they die, they will die on the way to charge!
……

The swarm didn't show any mercy because of their tragic determination, and Zero didn't show any emotion for their desperate charge.

With the highest etiquette for soldiers, He killed them one by one on the city wall, without exception!

At the last moment of the opponent's life, he clearly saw the hot tears in the eyes of the veteran lizardman, and even saw the deep worry in the depths of his eyes at the last moment.

He seems to understand this emotion, which is worrying for the country.

Until the last second before his death, he was still worried about the empire that was about to face such a powerful enemy as the Zerg!There is no fear of death, no nostalgia for life, only deep worry...and sorrow like a pool of water.

Facing such an enemy, the empire that is so glorious today may have no future...

Not long after, the rising sun jumped up from the horizon, and once again sprinkled its brilliance on the world, and at the same time, it also shone on Toril's blood-stained side face.

The Saadman Empire, which means rising sun, lost its first city and first general under the rising sun.

But it won't be the last.

…………

In Heli City, it has now completely turned into a sea of ​​Zerg. One hatch after another has taken root in the city. Busy engineers stuffed the bodies left over from the battlefield into it, and one after another the strengthened bugs came from Quickly crawl out of the eggs.

Although a huge amount of food has been seized, every resource left on the battlefield will not be wasted by the Zerg.

After Heli was captured, their number increased instead of decreasing. Just digesting the corpses left by both sides on the battlefield, the number of insect swarms reached 15, not to mention the mountains of food in the warehouse.

At least in the short term, the Zerg no longer need to rely on sweet potatoes to survive.

There is also some joy in sighing in Zero's heart.

The Zerg Swarm had already conquered this important frontier town in the eastern part of the empire. The [-] elite Lizardmen stationed here and a large number of armed militia were almost wiped out by the Zerg in this battle. Only a few lucky ones in the forest escaped. Passed a catastrophe.

Pass Heli, cross the canyon, and go westward to the endless plain hinterland. Although there are undulating mountains, in general, it is almost flat. Except for the defensive circle of the acropolis outside the imperial capital, there is no such thing as Heli. A huge city that guards the important places of the portal.

It can be said that the entire eastern region of the Saadman Empire has been completely exposed to the soldiers of the swarm!

What is there to hesitate about?

Zero asked himself this way in his heart, after the victory of this battle, the main force of the swarm can expand its number to 30 in a short period of time just by relying on the food in the warehouse, and within three to five years there will be no Troubled by food shortages.There's no problem getting that number to climb above 50 if necessary.

And in this victorious war, even if the lizardmen had made preparations in advance, within half a day, the heavily guarded Hurley had already fallen. It shows that the lizardmen don't have many effective ways to deal with the Zerg.

In addition to fire, their steel knives, shields, and crossbows, which they are proud of, have extremely limited lethality for the swarm.

If the Zerg wanted to move westward, before they reached the imperial capital, with the size and combat effectiveness of the Zerg, they would hardly receive any decent resistance.

Whether it was the outermost conservative fiefdoms or the central territory directly under the empire's control, the resistance they could gather in a short period of time was no different from a mantis' arms against such a huge swarm of insects.

Soon, the replenished swarm began to gather again, ready to head west.

At the same time, hundreds of Zerg camps, large and small, on the coasts around the mainland began to send land units to set foot in the living areas of the Lizardmen.They will supplement each other's territory on the spot and expand rapidly.

At this time, Zero has a completely free-ranging attitude towards them. He no longer restricts their instincts, but allows them to play freely.

It is foreseeable that in the near future, the entire Saadman Empire will be full of wars. In addition to having to deal with the main force of the frontal Zerg, they must also divide their troops to deal with these wanton expansion Zerg!
