C202 – Four Cannonballs

Boom! Bang!

In order to cooperate with the charge on the ground, the enemy kept producing explosive sounds. The thick smoke formed irregular clouds that slowly rose up.

A military officer distributed all the combat power in his body evenly. He had just been hit by the explosion behind him. Before he could stand up, another explosion occurred in front of his eyes. The shrapnel was so fast that it hit the armor with a bang. In an instant, he did not know where the shrapnel had gone.

He covered his head and ran to the top of the slope not far away. He looked into the distance and saw the surging black bug horde.

“Form the formation! Form the formation! Ignore the sky. Everyone, resist the attack!”

The swarm of bugs came over, pressing forward with indomitable momentum. However, the bombardment above their heads continued. The Wind God Winged Insect deliberately circled in the sky, slowly dropping the bugs down. Although the density of the explosions was much lower, to the soldiers on the scene, The duration was longer.

Everyone was under a lot of pressure. No one knew when the explosion would happen next to them.

With every explosion, the dust on the ground could be seen spreading in a circle along with the shockwave. Following that was a fierce wind. If the distance was close enough, the deafening impact could blow a person a few meters away. The side that received the impact was even more lacerated.

Who still had the mood to care about the people around them?

“Assemble the formation, form the formation!” The commander was about to go crazy from anxiety.

Count Sidiya looked at the group of nobles around him who were as flustered as him and was at a loss as to what to do.

In the chaotic atmosphere, when the swarm approached, the soldiers hurriedly raised their weapons and stood in rows. Their hands trembled nervously.

The Sickle Insect were now one meter tall and two meters long. When the wings on their backs got closer, they suddenly flapped hard. Then, the first few rows of insects suddenly sped up and rushed to these people in the blink of an eye.

Bang, bang, bang –

The first few rows of shield walls were directly smashed apart. The swarm of bugs jumped forward, facing the short swords and spears in the soldiers’ hands, and continuously attacked the enemies’ necks with sharp blades. Blood was like a fountain, dyeing the black bug body red.

“Viscount Egret, let your pike soldiers go up and block those damn bugs.” Count Sidiya shouted.

The bombardment finally stopped.

Some of the people who were standing tall had already noticed the insects rushing into the formation. Many soldiers had used up most of their combat power to defend against the explosion in the sky. At this moment, they were going to fight the Sickle Insect, whose average strength was at the Bronze Level. It was a horrible sight to behold.

Lo Ya shared the vision of the Wind God Winged Insect and saw that the swarm of bugs had slowly covered the front of the human army.

However, even further away, many human armies had already begun to form a formation and slowly gathered together.

One hundred charging insects and five thousand insects sneakily gathered at a distance of three kilometers away from the side of the battlefield. Taking advantage of the soldiers defending the north with all their might, they charged from the west side.

This wave of assault could be said to be insane. At least for humans, Every single charging bug was an extremely powerful warrior, and they even had a Mid Gold Level Strength. When their three-meter long and hundreds of kilograms of weight were approaching… The kinetic energy produced would definitely be able to harm a Diamond Level warrior.

Lo Ya rode the Black Wolf Beast to a place where she could see most of the situation on the battlefield. Suddenly, she found a man with a red glow all over his body charging into the swarm of insects alone, as if there was no one there.

The weapon in his hand seemed to have turned into a light sword, shooting out four to five meters long. From time to time, it would release a shock wave that could kill the insects within four to five meters in front of him.

“What the hell?”

Lo Ya could not help but curse.

Elite Swordsman, LV48, Space Level, Human.

The best among the Space Level warriors.

Lo Ya felt that this guy would need a long time to use up all his combat power. At that time, perhaps hundreds or thousands of bugs would die in his hands. So she turned around and looked at the two Launcher Insect behind her, letting them aim in the direction of the target.

Currently, the number of Launcher Insect that could fight was limited, and the reproduction speed temporarily could not catch up, so Lo Ya only transferred two of them.

Because the shooting accuracy was a little bad, and also lacked precise calculations, Lo Ya planned to fire four cannonballs at the same time.

This power was already comparable to the 60-80 mm mortars in her previous life. Lo Ya did not believe that she could not kill him.

After telling the location of the target to the Launcher Insect, there was a sizzling sound of fire coming from their backs. A few seconds later, two cannonballs flew out in a cloud of smoke.

“Their initial speed was too slow. They just shot out, and now there is a airflow at the tail. No wonder it can only be two kilometers away.”

Lo Ya looked at the two conical cannons that were far away and exhaled.

The bullet itself was too light, which also caused the range to not be far enough. The density of the Magic crystal was even lower than ordinary medicine. And the shell of the bullet was the insect shell, which caused the quality to be insufficient. Under the same initial speed, a lighter quality meant a smaller kinetic energy. Therefore, the range was closer, and the power was relatively weaker.

But Lo Ya also understood this point. If the mass became heavier, with the Launcher Insect’s launch pad, the initial speed would be slower, and it would not be able to guarantee a 2 km distance.

…

The four cannonballs instantly disappeared into the distance.

About seven seconds later, the elite swordsman who was fighting suddenly felt an indescribable danger, and then…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Four exaggerated explosions occurred within an 18-meter radius.

One of the explosions directly exploded beside his feet, instantly creating a terrifying impact force. The shrapnel pierced through the evenly distributed Dou Qi layer at a speed that could not be seen clearly, shattering the thin armor. There was also a piece that directly stuck into his neck.

When he came back to his senses, he was already lying on the ground.

The sky in front of him was hazy and his ears were filled with messy sounds. His consciousness was completely in a state of confusion, not knowing what had happened.

Around him, more than ten Sickle Insect were buried along with him.

Actually, the Sickle Insect had started to flee in all directions a few seconds before the cannonballs arrived. However, one of the cannonballs was too far away, and a few of them couldn’t escape in time.

But no matter what, this Space Level warrior had already lost his life.

“General!” A few of his subordinates saw the scene of the man being struck.

Because the speed was too fast, the surrounding people only heard a swoosh and the explosion followed closely behind.

Thick smoke rushed into the sky and the sand on the ground rolled dozens of meters away. Then, through the black smoke, everyone saw the figure lying on the ground covered in blood.

“All troops retreat.”

The nobles knew that the situation was hopeless, so they ordered the officers to retreat.

The retreat was to allow the suicide squad to cover the retreat on the escape route so that they could completely block the enemy’s advance and allow the main force to escape danger.

This was the only thing they could do at the moment.
