Chapter 501 Pull up the Italian cannon!
It’s no wonder that the giant spiders don’t work hard, it’s really because the Blue Poison Devil is too incompetent as the commander.
Spiders are obviously the best lurkers, but after leaving the withered forest with a complex environment, their innate advantages are directly abolished.
Although a few species of jumping spiders, wolf spiders, etc. are good at attacking, they must be able to get close to the enemy, right?
Judging from the chaotic behavior of the mutant giant insects, although the Blue Poison Demon can control and drive the mutant giant bugs, it can only drive them away in a "shepherd style" and cannot conduct precise command.
This caused the faster-moving spiders to run in front of the thickly defended beetle swarm, and died miserably under the saturated firepower output of the Ash Legion.
This is the result of unequal information. Before the remnants of the Natural Cult entered the battlefield, the Ash Legion had already clearly understood their military structure and strength.
Not only were defense lines deployed in their marching direction, but weapons were also developed accordingly.
This caused the giant beetles the size of tanks and the giant centipedes like a train to roar in despair amid the explosions and flames.
After frantically attacking for a period of time, the Blue Poison Devils, who had lost a large number of giant insects, finally realized that apart from consuming some of the opponent's ammunition, their attacks were completely meaningless, and then they stopped their attack.
The mutated giant insect swarm came up to die, but temporarily hibernated at the edge of the withered forest.
The Ashes Alliance was not in a hurry to pursue the victory. Instead, it sent a logistics force to clean up the battlefield and collect thousands of giant insect corpses. These are all high-quality arcane biological materials.
How can fighting or other things be as important as collecting resources?
Under the command of the generals of the Tang Dynasty, the Ashes Army swept the battlefield in an orderly manner, collected loot, repaired the defense lines and trench traps, and paid no attention to the swarm of mutated giant insects gathering at the edge of the withered forest not far from the defense line.
.
The purpose of suspending the offensive is simply to gather more giant insect swarms for a saturation charge. But the more insects gathered, the more enjoyable the bombing will be, wouldn't it?
I heard that the Lord of Ashes has prepared several large-scale killing weapons for them, such as "Little Skinny Man, Big Fat Man" and "Ten Thousand Rings of Spring Festival". Although the name is a bit strange, it sounds pretty good to me.
sharp!
The temporary break didn't last long.
More and more people gathered at the edge of the withered forest, and new movements soon appeared among the restless giant insect swarms.
Dragging its bloated belly, one by one, the huge alien spider squeezed out from the insect swarm and lay quietly on the edge of the forest without moving.
Because the distance was a bit far, and the dim environment of the Utters world was not conducive to long-distance naked-eye observation, the headquarters quickly sent out the Spore Detection Eagle to investigate.
But I didn't expect that this time the opponent was smarter. Before the Spore Scouting Eagle could get closer, a giant spider sprayed a large amount of corrosive spider silk into the sky.
Although most of them failed, there were still some spore-detecting hawks that were entangled in the dense spider silk and fell down, and were quickly devoured by giant insects.
Although it was only a brief glimpse, it was enough for the command post in the rear to see clearly what those big-bellied spiders were doing. They were laying eggs!
A large number of spider eggs, about the size of footballs, were expelled in groups. After landing, they hatched into nearly transparent round-bellied spiders, gathering into a carpet-like swarm of spiderlings, emitting a fine and dense rustling sound.
The sound crawled towards the southern defense line.
What are they trying to do? Even the huge adult insects can't break through the Ash Legion's defense line, so what's the use of sending these spiderlings that can be crushed with one kick?
But as the spiderlings crawled, their round, translucent bellies gradually deepened in color, glowing with a dark red light, which looked like a dark red flame burning.
When the dark red flames lit up in the bellies of all the spiderlings, it was like a layer of unburned ashes and sparks were spread on the ground, forming a dark red tide that continued to surge forward.
The southern defense line is approaching!
The generals of the Tang Dynasty, who had never seen such a scene, could only quickly seek advice from Bai Yuqi, who had gone to practice training after the war stabilized.
When Bai Yuqi heard this, he glanced at the scene on the front line and almost uttered a curse word before quickly turning on the [Dark Energy Shield] Rune Pattern Array on the southern defense line.
However, sporadic spiderlings had already crawled into the defense line. The Ashes Legion soldiers with itchy feet curiously stepped on them, and the result... boom!
An explosion of dark energy directly blasted the Ash Legion soldiers on the defense line into the sky!
And as if it caused a chain reaction, whether it was the spiderlings that had crawled into the defense line or the spiderlings isolated outside the [Dark Energy Shield], they exploded one after another, with a blast, boom, boom...
The crazy explosion of... set off a cloud of dust that obscured everyone's sight!
Those newly hatched spiderlings can actually absorb the dark energy in space and store it in their own bodies in a very short period of time, and then release it to explode when attacked!
Isn’t this a bomb spider?
The explosion power of a single bomb spiderling is not very powerful, and cannot match the power of a dark crystal bursting arrow.
But the problem is that the shock wave formed by the sudden explosion of highly concentrated dark energy can cause great damage and shock to the environment. The trench that was just repaired was directly razed to the ground. If you want to recover, you have to dig it again.
.
Although those Ash Warriors who were blown away were protected by dark crystal shields, the shock wave generated by the explosion could still shock them to the point of vomiting blood.
For a time, the losses were even more serious than those caused by the giant insects before. Although not many people were killed, it was inevitable to lose combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
What's worse is that the bomb spiderlings isolated by the [Dark Energy Shield] Rune Array continue to explode, not only making the dark red energy barrier flicker on and off, but also the energy in the dark crystal core of the array is rapidly consumed
, and the ground along the entire defense line was even dented by the explosion!
You must know that the Yunan Defense Line was built on a plain with dense ditches, that is, a series of earthen platforms.
If they continue to bomb like this, they will inevitably cause large-scale collapses. The positions scattered on these earth platforms may be buried directly!
"Fuck!"
Bai Yuqi, who couldn't help but curse, ordered the infrastructure corps to urgently strengthen the foundation of the earth platform where the position was located, and shouted angrily: "Second Battalion Commander... No! Yuchi Baolin! Pull up my 'Italian Cannon'
