Chapter 920: Chapter 63: The Blossoming of Life

"Stop!" Tang Zheng and Dantai both noticed something wrong with the soldier whose leg had been severed, but it was too late. With a bang of a gunshot, the soldier, already tormented by agonizing pain, chose suicide, using his handgun to blast his brain to pieces.

The few soldiers staying in the Mother Fort were stunned. The last scene they witnessed was their combat mate Xiao Zhao pointing a gun at his temple, giving them a pained smile before turning into a corpse, slumping down, blood splattering on the wall.

"Xiao Zhao?" Brother Sun, drenched in sweat, rushed in and threw himself beside the body. Seeing the simple and honest fellow villager soldier commit suicide, he couldn’t express the grief and irritation in his heart and let out a loud roar.

"Grieve with restraint!" Dantai sighed, considering the consequences of this incident and the limited strength and endurance of their forces. Ammunition reserves were not a problem, but the newbies couldn’t hold up any longer; they all looked like they were about to collapse from exhaustion.

This time, they rested a bit longer, more than thirty minutes. Then twenty-two Teleportation Gates descended. When various kinds of bugs swarmed out, the newbies actually breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to the Insect-Humans, these creatures were somewhat easier to deal with.

Dantai planned to send the three uninjured soldiers from the Mother Fort to the frontline, but this time there were several times more Flying bugs, and the strain on the Mother Fort was so great that he had no choice but to give up.

In less than ten seconds, thousands of bugs appeared on the battlefield, surpassing the barrage capacity of the ordinary firearms of Warhammer Team. Consequently, the Conquerors had to switch to S-Class Firearms to barely withstand the tide of insects.

Tang Zheng raised his hand and released the Oda Eagle. A flash of white light streaked by, followed by a sharp cry piercing the sky as the black eagle, with white spots on its wings, soared high. Then it turned around and dove down like a meteor entering the atmosphere, reaching close to Mach speed, the bugs en route being shredded into Broken Flesh by the airflow it generated, creating a sky filled with blood mist before plummeting.

This was the Oda Eagle’s aerial combat skill, Razor Wind. Everything in its collision path, even the air itself, became sharp as a blade due to the extreme vibration of its wings, forming lethal air blades capable of slicing through Steel.

Boom, the Oda Eagle crashed to the ground, activating the Meteor Strike ability. The Teleportation Gate directly in its path was obliterated into dust, and the bugs within a fifty-yard Range were squished into meat sauce, leaving not a single chunk of flesh, then blown away by the resulting shockwave, intertwining black and green, like waves slapping the shore.

The bugs, caught off balance, were engulfed by the flowing meat sauce, which then poured into Sub-castle Three, covering it over a foot thick with the slippery, foul-smelling substance, nearly driving Yu Manli and the others insane.

Boom, because the Oda Eagle had broken the Sonic Speed barrier, it took several seconds before the intense airflow produced a series of explosions, then pressed down. The ground burst open, creating a big pit.

As the eagle had just taken to the skies, the Phosphorus-winged Flying Insects spewed Fireballs towards the sky, clearing out a large area. Any bug hit by the attack screamed, catching fire and falling from the sky like torches.

The entry of the Oda Eagle to the battlefield gave the Conquerors a much-needed respite.

"Incredibly sharp, truly worthy of being Oda Nobunaga’s ace Pet. This attack power definitely surpasses S-grade," said Dantai as he operated the Beetle, sweeping the battlefield with gunfire; countless scorching shell casings ejected from the firearm, clinking as they fell to the floor.

The wounded, watching the Oda Eagle go berserk with each attack killing hundreds of bugs, believed they could survive this round.

Tang Zheng nodded, sitting at a firing point, shooting down below. With every blast of the Thunderball, a jungle of electricity sprung up, knocking down a dozen or so bugs. But it still wasn’t enough; other bugs quickly filled in the gaps.

"I’ve studied the Trojan List, and there are originally few props capable of aerial combat, and yours is also a Pet, with the added bonus of scouting ability. You’ve definitely hit the jackpot," Dantai was right, the Oda Eagle was a rare prop in the scene. Although it was S-grade, its ability to fight in the air gave it the combat power of SS-level.

"The Oda Eagle can attack freely for ten minutes, but afterward, to continue using it, I must consume Life Energy," Tang Zheng glanced at the newbies before continuing, "Of course, Ordinary people can use it too, but it would drain their life, leaving them dried husks."

Dantai furrowed his brows. Upon hearing this, the wounded, originally elated, fell silent. They stared at the fiercely contended battlefield, their expressions shifting uncertainly.

Late into this wave of battle, Ruan Feifei and Li Xinlan both used their Abilities and managed to suppress the tide of bugs. No one died, but they were all exhausted. Each newbie felt they could fall asleep while standing, but they couldn’t rest; they still had to go out and reinforce the Fort.

The interval of just over twenty minutes was so precious. They greedily sniffed the air, sweat pouring off them as they readied their weapons to face the next round of Combat.

Li Du’s arm had been severed, and with the high intensity of Combat and the Malicious environment, the wound seemed infected. He began to run a fever, and the German flight attendant volunteered to ask Yu Manli for clean water to care for the soldier.

"You’ll get better," the flight attendant, clearly moved by the sight of Li Du sacrificing himself to save her, began to communicate with him proactively.

Li Du lacked such experiences with women. Coupled with the fact that the German implanted in his brain by the Trojan wasn’t very fluent, the communication hit some barriers. However, the flight attendant was patient, speaking gently with him.
