Chapter 834: The Great Battle is Imminent 2
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
When several Leviathans were in place, locking down an area of a hundred kilometers in an instant, a massive tremor erupted from the seabed.Like a dragon turning over, a nightmarish scene of mountains collapsing and the earth splitting apart appeared, followed by an overwhelming swarm of Insect Race forces, surging upwards from below.
The Sea Clan, trapped in the encirclement, were predictably trapped like dumplings.
What followed was the familiar sight of Insect Race versus Sea Clan.
The ocean was the Sea Clan’s domain; various water-control abilities could be unleashed to the fullest here, with some even surpassing their limits.
...
As for the Insect Race, having not long entered the sea, even though their genetic library ruled in various naval strategies.
Yet the new ocean environment still affected them; let alone unleash the Insect Race’s full potential in ocean warfare, reaching eighty percent would be considered very good.
With this exchange, the power disparity of equivalent tiers was significant between the two.
Often a Fifth-tier Epic Sea Clan member could withstand about three Fifth-tier Epic Insect Generals.
Hundreds of thousands of Sea Clan managed to withstand the onslaught of millions of Insect Race.
But the Insect Swarm numbered not just in the millions but tens of millions or even billions!
The entire hundred-kilometer area was tightly surrounded by the Insect Swarm.
The endless Insect Swarm attacked relentlessly.
Hundreds of thousands of Sea Clan began, layer by layer, to be peeled away from the outer perimeter.
Blood instantly stained the seabed, as bodies sank from the battlefield, resting on the ocean floor, then dragged away by the awaiting Insect Race sappers into the Mycelium passage, transported to the base camp.
This battle lasted just four or five hours before the hundreds of thousands of Sea Clan troops were annihilated.
Even though the Sea Clan’s commanders decisively led a breakout with only tens of thousands lost, they couldn’t escape.
Because Leviathans, being biological warships, could move freely!
With their hundred-kilometer range, a few Leviathans surrounded the battlefield from all sides, following the Sea Clan at a distance so they couldn’t escape the space lockdown zone.
Without Sixth Tier Legendary strength, there was no tearing through the locked space.
And with countless Insect Swarm disrupting their formation, the Sea Clan had no way to use their secret techniques for special summoning.
In the end, the tens of thousands of Sea Clan were overwhelmed by the sheer number of the Insect Swarm.
Total annihilation!
Survivors? Of course not.
After all, what would the Insect Swarm want with survivors?
Develop them into Blade Queens?
Unnecessary!
To create a Blade Queen, you needed to select the most outstanding Perfect Gene Carriers within a group, and only after genetic modification could it be completed.
The Blade Queen was the Insect Swarm’s highest champion, representing perfect genetic inheritance, with potential no less than Seventh Grade Sanctum level!
Currently, the Insect Swarm’s obtained gene bank did not possess the potential to create a perfect Blade Queen.
Of course, it indeed had a target, for example, its enslaver, Zi Liyuan.
As well as Zi Liyuan’s wives, Mo Yi and Shen Yurou, and finally Liu Yiqing, cultivated by Zi Liyuan as his right hand!
Only these four had caught the eye of the Insect Swarm ruler, willing to transform them into Blade Queens, the ultimate perfect gene inheritors of the Insect Race.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t the Insect Swarm ruler who enslaved these humans, but rather it was enslaved.
Of course, the Insect Swarm ruler would not give up.
So what if it was enslaved? It would eventually find a way to escape its fate, and at that time, it planned to reverse the situation, turning them all into Blade Queens, its Ultimate Warriors!
The Insect Swarm would never be enslaved!
The Insect Swarm respected no one!
So it was understandable that the Insect Race ruler was inherently rebellious.
However, recognizing circumstances was something an excellent leader should do, because leading one’s race to doom wasn’t an option, right?
To survive, a little bit of humiliation wasn’t such a big deal, right?
After the great battle, the tens of thousands of Sea Clan were completely wiped out, without any message sent or a single member escaped.
Thus, the Insect Swarm began invading more territories of the Sea Clan.
What was even bolder was that these Insects didn’t attack directly from the ocean; they first sent specially trained scouts to search for Sea Clan bases in the ocean.
These scouts were invisible to the naked eye, extremely tiny and weak, but their only advantage was adapting to the seabed’s immense pressure.
With these scouts exploring the Sea Clan gathering places, the Insect Race then dug tunnels below the seabed following their guidance.
Special shielding Insects dug beneath others’ bases without being detected.
After all, in the deep sea, it was their Sea Clan territory; who would think that an enemy could tunnel beneath the seabed?
To catch the entire base of Sea Clan off guard, the Insect Swarm ruler ordered worker Insects to hollow out the ground according to the size of the base.
When ready to attack, they would sink the entire base into the seabed, lock the space, and drown the enemy with the Insect Swarm!
Though seemingly simple, this tactic proved highly effective.
Originally, the Sea Clan base had protective barriers set.
But as the entire base sank, the formations painted on the city walls shattered as the walls collapsed.
Thus, the protective barriers were rendered useless, and the Insect Swarm breached the city.
Naturally, what followed was the familiar sight of a grand purge.
An overwhelming Insect Swarm flooded out, biting every person, attacking every building.
Everything usable as a resource was not spared!
With the space locked down, there was no escape above or below.
As a result, a Sea Clan city was effortlessly wiped out by the Insect Swarm.
In its place, only a huge crater and some toppled building debris remained.
One Sea Clan city after another was buried by the Insect Swarm.
Not a single Sea Clan escaped their encircled fate.
These Sea Clan were a subordinate race subdued by the Naga, summoned from the Sea of Realms, not Alien Races of the Sea of Realms.
So these Sea Clans’ combat power, at most, was only Fifth-tier Epic.
Despite their strength, allowing them to face three of the Insect Swarm, their efforts in naval battles were ultimately meaningless.
The Insect Swarm ruler didn’t engage in frontal conflict, preferring to insidiously devour the Sea Clan forces piece by piece from the shadows.
Coupled with the Insect Race’s explosion of forces, seizing countless resources resulted in a daily troop birthrate that was immense, beyond comprehension.
Even the Insect Swarm ruler didn’t know the exact daily number of troops.
Nonetheless, the region ravaged by the Insect Swarm was teeming with them.
Such massive slaughter of the Sea Clan naturally drew attention.
Of course, if you only wiped out the enemy’s expeditionary forces, it might go unnoticed for ten days or half a month.
After all, an expeditionary army might send updates to the rear for certain decisions or some military intelligence, usually reporting once every ten days or so wasn’t a significant issue.
But if you buried their cities and massacred every one of them, the alarm would be raised in three or four days.
Considering some trading caravans and Alien Races might travel between cities within a few days.
A city’s fall would inevitably cause a massive uproar.
So much was at stake here.
However, the Insect Swarm acted swiftly, conducting simultaneous hunts.
Once sending scouts, they detected ten nearby cities in one go, then proceeded to operate simultaneously.
With billions of Insect Swarm, they buried ten cities in one fell swoop.
Then continued searching for new targets.
The Insect Swarm achieved this feat twice and issues quickly became apparent.
It all took merely three and a half days.
Promptly leading to investigation by large Sea Clan forces, significantly more thorough than the previous tens of thousands searching.
With the vast expanse of the sea and places suitable to build cities being scarce.
Even the Sea Clan weren’t the only residents of the ocean, and their own strength was average at best, while the massive sea monsters and beasts of the ocean were not to be trifled with.
