Chapter 146 The Commander in the Swarm, the Final Battle
The Zerg's attack was extremely fierce. Even with the support of the terrifying firepower of the defense towers, a large number of Zerg still rushed to the front line.
In this situation, how could the Rock-Armored Giant Ants, the main force of defense, not suffer any losses?
Of the more than eighty rock-armored giant ants, nearly half have died.
Even the rock-armored army ants and rock-armored ants in the rear suffered many casualties.
Under the impact of the Zerg swarm, various fronts have begun to show signs of breaking through.
Seeing this, Mo Yu decisively gave the order to shrink the front line.
However, he did not let all the rock-armored giant ants on the periphery withdraw all at once.
After all, in this situation, the gap will widen rapidly with the slightest mistake.
If the retreat is not done properly, it may give the Zerg a chance to rush in and break the formation.
Leaving behind the rock ants and earth ants as cannon fodder, and cooperating with the layers of sniping from the defense towers, Mo Yu slowly shrank the front line to within twenty meters of the Rune Mage Tower.
As for the rear battlefield, the three totem towers were used as the main defense force.
The position of the totem tower cannot be changed, and the battle line naturally cannot be changed.
However, the three totem towers are already located at the back, and with their unlimited ammunition, there is no need to retract them.
It has to be said that Mo Yu's operation was quite thrilling.
If the Zerg seizes the opportunity and uses elite individuals as the vanguard to force their way in, it is very likely to catch him off guard.
Fortunately, there was no commander on the Zerg side. They just rushed up madly to attack, allowing him to calmly complete the contraction of the front line.
In this way, the defensive pressure is much less.
On the ground battlefield, the original stalemate was maintained again.
The giant rock ants formed a circle and cooperated with the rock army ants and the ant colony to form a defensive line.
Behind them, a majestic and awe-inspiring Fire Wolf King mobilized his Fire Wolfs to spit fireballs at the Rock Armor Queen Ants to relieve the pressure on the ant colony.
At the same time, it also pays attention to various fronts. If there is a gap anywhere, it will command the wolf pack to fill it up immediately.
Lai Fu mingled among the wolves, spitting fireballs to kill monsters, and he didn't look out of place at all.
In this kind of battlefield, its taunts are unlikely to have any effect, and it can only rely on spitting fire to show its strength.
In this stalemate, the attacking Zerg and Mo Yu's summons were being damaged at an extremely fast rate.
But he didn't feel sorry at all. As long as a few troop summoning towers were still there, there would be a steady supply of cannon fodder to support them.
As for the Zerg, every death means one less.
The Soldier Summoning Tower cooperates with the Skeleton Resurrection Tower and the Undead summoned from time to time by the Zombification Tower. For a while, it is not a big problem to maintain a balance between income and expenditure on the front line.
At this moment, the underground battlefield was also in a mess.
The hidden iron zombies relied on their numbers to successfully keep most of the underground attackers out of the way.
But their intelligence level is quite low and they are far less flexible than ant colonies and fire wolves.
From time to time, some insects would cross the defense line of the buried iron zombies and launch a surprise attack from underground.
There are centipede-like multi-legged insects... There are worms like earthworms...
Fortunately, these bugs are not very strong, and although they cause some disturbance to the front line, the impact is not significant.
There were also some foolish people who attacked Mo Yu and the Rune Mage Tower behind him, but they were killed one by one by the shadow scouts guarding nearby with short crossbows.
Occasionally, there were attacks on the defense tower or the Rune Mage Tower, but they did not cause any impact.
After all, their defense values are extremely amazing and cannot be shaken by one or two insects.
In the sky, the dragon eagle was outnumbered and not at a disadvantage at all.
Even with their interception, not a single Sky-Winged Mosquito approached the Rune Mage Tower.
More than ten dragon eagles formed an overwhelming dominance, killing the Sky-winged Mosquitoes.
However, because the buried iron corpses were delayed, the Zerg evolution that had been suppressed began to gradually emerge again.
Elite insect monsters would occasionally appear on the front line, but in small numbers, only in twos or three, and they were quickly killed by the Victory Gun Tower and the Holy Judgement Sword Tower, without causing any damage.
However, this situation lasted for more than ten minutes.
Mo Yu noticed that the elite insect monsters no longer showed up!
This is naturally not good news for him.
Given the current state of the Zerg, it is impossible to completely curb their evolution, and it is impossible to see no elite Zerg at all.
There is only one possibility for this situation to occur, and it is also the possibility that Mo Yu has always been most worried about.
The Zerg has evolved into intelligent or king-level bugs.
The enemy is hiding the power of those elite Zerg, waiting for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow.
Mo Yu also clearly felt that the insects that were originally crowded together in a mess began to move forward and backward in a measured manner.
The swarm of insects no longer rushed forward all at once.
Offensive Zergs such as beetles charge into the front formation, while fragile Zergs such as knife bugs wait for opportunities to kill the enemy, and some ranged Zergs begin to attack defense towers or cooperate with summoned creatures on the offensive line.
For a moment, Mo Yu's defensive pressure became much greater.
But that’s all. If elite Zergs don’t appear on the field, he will have no problem defending.
However, he did not dare to relax at all. He would never feel at ease until he found the commander hiding in the dark.
However, all they saw was a swarm of black insects. Trying to find a commander who was hiding deliberately was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
This is not like the previous wolf pack, which were all single creatures. There are all kinds of insects in front of you.
All one could hear was a rhythmic sound of insects interspersed among the numerous hissing sounds of insects.
But there were too many sources of sound to distinguish them.
Unless one uses detection skills to identify them, but in that case, it is purely a matter of luck.
Mo Yu didn't have the energy to do such a thing.
"My lord, a large number of elite individuals have appeared here!" Salt's loud roar came from the other side.
Oops!
Mo Yu was shocked. The melee totem tower could deal with the Zerg cannon fodder like cutting wheat, but it seemed to be unable to cope with the elite Zerg and it was difficult to kill them instantly.
On the rear battlefield, there are only Salt and some rock ants, and they may not be able to hold on.
But soon, Salt's voice came again, "Don't worry, I can defend this place. Lord, be careful of the Zerg's tricks. I think they have become smarter!"
Mo Yu was certain in his heart that he was confident in Salt's fighting ability.
Moreover, the pressure on the front battlefield is also very great, and he dare not tear down the east wall to repair the west wall.
Since Salt said he could hold on, Mo Yu chose to trust him.
As for the three epic defense towers, they have 60% damage reduction.
In addition, several epic and legendary defense towers are equipped with rock crystal stone wall technology, which has 15% physical damage reduction and doubled defense value.
If those insects were to target them, they would probably suffer a great loss.
This is indeed the case. These bugs had no intention of attacking the Rune Mage Tower or Salt, but went straight for the defense tower.
Because the totem tower's attack did not stop, it was not convenient for Salt and the Rock Ant to stop it.
Some insects actually got close to the totem tower.
But they were destined to hit their heads against iron and get bloodied.
The attack landed on the totem defense tower, leaving only a few tiny gaps, which was not enough to affect the entire tower.
Even more desperate was the fact that the repair tower was immediately activated and the gaps were quickly repaired.
They are completely useless.
Instead, waves of fire and earthquake waves continued to hit the bodies of the elite Zerg. They only lasted for more than ten seconds before they were completely annihilated by the fire and earthquake waves.
A crisis was quickly averted.
The Zerg commander hiding in the dark probably didn't expect that the rear battlefield, which seemed to have weak defense, was also extremely difficult to deal with.
However, the assault failed and the enemy did not show any extremely corrupt tendencies.
Instead, they hid deeper, brewing the next wave of attacks.
Mo Yu also noticed that the Zerg began to change, and there were even scenes of insects devouring each other.
This is not eating the corpse, it is eating it alive.
Moreover, those evolved insects seemed to have evolved selectively, and most of them chose those insects that were large in size, had strong defenses, or had some special functions.
I haven't seen any of the fragile insect species like the knife worm evolve.
At the same time, the levels of the attacking Zerg on the battlefield also became lower, and most of them were first-level Zerg.
The other party is holding back a big wave.
Mo Yu was on guard secretly and also gave Salter information, asking him to pay more attention.
It lasted for more than ten minutes, and the intensity of the battle on the battlefield decreased, but the offensive became fierce again.
Moreover, the trend is getting worse.
His defense towers also suffered a lot of attacks from insects, but fortunately their own defense value was amazing, and there were repair towers to provide supplements.
As long as the Zerg does not break through the defense line on a large scale, it is extremely difficult to destroy the defense tower.
Mo Yu glanced at the Zerg that were becoming less numerous on the battlefield, and felt something in his heart that the final decisive battle was coming.
The other side is using cannon fodder to consume the defense tower's ammunition.
But Mo Yu had no other choice. He couldn't let these bugs break in, so he had to give up the idea of preserving ammunition.
It is obvious that the Zerg commander in the dark knows that the defense tower has an ammunition limit.
It was through this wave of cannon fodder that a large amount of defense tower ammunition was consumed, and then the elite individuals devoured were commanded to establish victory in one battle.
Even though Mo Yu knew the other party's plan, he was unable to crack it.
The enemy has too many troops. If the firepower of the defense tower is reduced and the bugs really break in, then there will be no chance of a decisive battle later.
The defense value of the defense tower is indeed high, but it is not invincible.
Once a large number of insects attack, it is easy to destroy them.
In this way, the ammunition of Mo Yu and his defense towers was slowly drained.
Except for a few defense towers such as the Bone Decay Tower, Sunflower Tower and Victory Gun Tower, the ammunition is still in relatively good condition.
The remaining defense towers were running out of ammunition.
But the number of Zerg on the battlefield gradually decreased.
In the sky, the dragon eagles also achieved the final victory, but most of them seemed to have lost their combat effectiveness.
It's not that the injury is serious, but that he is completely exhausted.
Although it was difficult for the Sky-Winged Mosquitoes to break through their defenses and the Dragon Eagles were slaughtered like a crushing massacre, the Dragon Eagle's attack was not without loss.
In order to prevent the Sky-Winged Mosquitoes from breaking through, the Dragon Eagles have been fighting at a high intensity. It is already quite good that they can hold on.
This is why sometimes low-level soldiers on the battlefield can kill masters.
At this moment, among the many dragon eagles, only Zuosi and the other two dragon eagles were relatively able to maintain a certain combat effectiveness.
At this time, Mo Yu had already seen his final opponent.
Ten golden giant beetles as big as small hills, and nearly a hundred elite Zergs hiding behind them.
This group of Zergs was very powerful. Mo Yu saw seven or eight epic-level Zergs alone, and there were also quite a few rare fourth-level ones.
"The final battle!"
Mo Yu took a deep breath and prepared himself for battle.
Most of his summoned creatures have been killed or injured, and the only defense towers that still retain their combat effectiveness are the Victory Gun Tower and the Auxiliary Tower.
The remaining defense towers are trying their best to recover their ammunition before the enemy gets close.
The swarm commander obviously also knew that at this point, he couldn't give Mo Yu a chance to catch his breath.
The giant golden beetle rushed over with a roar.
At the same time, more than a dozen flying Zerg took off.
The strength of these elite Zerg is much stronger than the previous Sky-Winged Mosquitoes.
【Giant Rhinoceros Beetle】
[Level]: Rare level 3
【Status】: None
[Abilities]: Great Strength, City Destruction, Flight
[Description]: Elite warrior among the Zerg.
Normal rhinoceros beetles have the ability to fly, but their flying ability is extremely weak.
But the giant rhinoceros beetle in front of him has obviously enhanced its ability in this area and is relatively more flexible.
The most terrifying thing is that they have evolved the ability to destroy cities and cause massive damage to buildings.
It is obviously the result of targeted mutation selection by the Zerg commander hidden in the dark.
At the same time, the underground iron zombies also encountered several underground Zergs.
Fortunately, there were enough of them to barely hold them off.
"That's terrible!" Mo Yu let out a long breath, but a smile appeared on his face.
It's not that they are confident, but because the Zerg commander finally revealed his true intentions, and this is only its last wave of attack.
Success or failure depends on this wave.
"Salt, I need you to stop all the flying Zergs for me. Can you do it?" Mo Yu looked at Salt.
These giant rhinoceros beetles are not weak, and they have been conserving their energy and are in prime condition at the moment.
On the other hand, although Salt and Zuosi had a rank advantage, they had been fighting for such a long time that their physical strength had been greatly depleted.
Therefore, this task is very difficult and Mo Yu has no confidence.
Salt smiled nonchalantly, "Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Although he seems a little unreliable at ordinary times, he is trustworthy enough when he really fights.
"Yeah!" Mo Yu nodded.
At this time, he couldn't say more because the enemy on the front battlefield was approaching.
Salt patted Zuosi's head, growled, and flew into the sky with two dragon eagles.
On the ground, Mo Yu also launched an attack.
The Victory Gun Tower, which had been keeping a low profile, finally showed its fangs at this moment.
In the equality mode, the Zerg was immediately caught off guard.
Three of the ten golden giant beetles that were as big as small hills were killed on the spot.
The defensive power they relied on was like fragile paper in front of the Victory Gun Tower.
Most of the summoned creatures in the Earth Ant Nest Tower and the Flame Wolf Summoning Tower had been killed or injured, but Mo Yu was still able to retain five fourth-level rare ant monsters, more than a dozen third-level Flame Wolves and ant monsters.
This is also the last main force to resist the Zerg.
