Chapter 391 (1/2)
391 – Smas.h.i.+ng the Devil Locust Swarm
The Black Ink War Zone’s headquarters, within the study, the intellectual beauty Wei Luzhen suddenly looked up, picked up a vibrating communications crystal, and quietly listened to the the voice coming from it. Then, she put down the communications crystal, faced Yuan Yi whose mind seemed to be adrift, and said: “Major General, your youngest disciple brother has already obtained 430,000 merit points, surpa.s.sing the Bright Moon School’s genius Zhang Zhiqiao on the monthly list and reaching 1st place.”
Yuan Yi looked sluggish for a while. After five minutes, a stream of blue light flew out of the void and entered his body, and his eyes regained their l.u.s.ter. He shook his head and revealed a smile: “What did you say? My youngest disciple brother has reached the 1st place of the monthly list? Heh-heh, he really has some skill. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to pa.s.s that demanding a.s.sessment. His performance is much more dazzling than ours in the day.”
The mobile fortified fortress, on the bridge, Zhang Zhiqiao and the other women watched the holographic projections as countless devil locusts were incinerated into ashes by the flames sprayed from the stronghold, and their pretty eyes flickered with shock.
Unless it was a Moonlight Warlock, even a Starry Sky Warlock rank mercenary group might be wiped out when faced with a swarm composed of millions of devil locusts. Devil insects were a race of one of the 36 primary material planes, the Savage Insect Plane. Strong fecundity, high compliance, and no fear of death, devil insects were a nightmare for many races.
Devil locusts were merely inferior cannon fodder, their position very low in the ranks of devil insects. However, the number of these cannon fodder could easily exceed 1 million and reach 100 million. In the environment of the Demonic Realm, they were the best cannon fodder.
Human Moonlight Warlocks could wipe out 100 million devil locusts with a meteorological spell. But in an environment like the Demonic Realm, they would have to retreat when faced with a 100-million-strong swarm, lest they ran out of magic power and died.
Suddenly, a small, exquisite communications crystal at Zhang Zhiqiao’s waist vibrated, and she picked it up. A female voice full of charm sounded: “Zhiqiao, your 1st place on the monthly list has just been s.n.a.t.c.hed away by a man. Do you want to know his name? If you go out with me, I can be merciful, and tell you his name?”
Zhang Zhiqiao responded indifferently: “His name is Yang Feng, right!”
The female voice full of charm coming from the communications crystal surged with surprise: “How did you know?”
Zhang Zhiqiao answered: “I’m with him right now, I’m watching him slaughter devil locusts.”
The female voice full of charm surged with excitement: “Do you know him? Where are you right now? I’ll come over, introduce me to him!”
Zhang Zhiqiao responded with smile: “We’re currently inside a devil locust swarm that should number more than 10 million!”
“…”
There was a palpitating silence on the other side of the communications crystal, and then the voice rang once more: “Zhiqiao, let’s meet up when you come back.”
Zhang Zhiqiao responded with a smile: “Fine!”
After putting the communications crystal away, Zhang Zhiqiao’s eyes fell on the holographic projections on the bridge.
The holographic projections fully reproduced the scenes of the environment and changes surrounding the mobile fortified stronghold in a radius of dozens of kilometers. No matter how the devil locust swarm changed, the holographic projections changed accordingly in real time.
Su Fangyan and the beautiful women of the Lily Mercenary Group were deeply attracted by the holographic projections, profoundly aware of the implications.
They were aware that the holographic projections meant that the mobile fortified stronghold’s various scanning abilities have reached an amazing degree, fully reproducing the battle scene. The enemy’s every move couldn’t escape the mobile fortified stronghold. So long as the commander wan’t a fool, and gave correct orders, they could easily defeat one enemy after another.
It should be noted that in the Demonic Realm, even among Moonlight Warlock, only those proficient in computing and simulation spells could reproduce such scenes. In some ways, this mobile fortified stronghold has surpa.s.sed Moonlight Warlock experts.
Like moths drawn to a flame, the devil locust swarm attacked the mobile fortified stronghold for a long time. After hundreds of thousands were lost, an eerie insect sound came from the deepest part of the swarm.
The dense cloud-like devil locust swarm turned sluggish, and then suddenly pulled away and dispersed, forming smaller groups around the mobile fortified stronghold.
Spraying so much fire was bound to consume a tremendous amount of energy. Clearly, the devil locust swarm had a commander, and it immediately adjusted the swarm’s modus operandi.
“Interesting, they have a commander?” Yang Feng showed a smile. Staring at the holographic projection, he pondered for a while, and then uttered: “You want to play around? Forget it, let’s just settle it!”
