The more Fangzheng watched the battle, the more unhappy he became.
It was not that the Galactic Empire did not do a good job, but … … no matter how he looked at it, he felt that these Zergs were imitations of his own swarm.
Like the Zergs, they also had a main combat unit similar to the Zerglings. The Empire called them Shredder Zergs. They looked nothing like Fangzheng's puppies. To Fangzheng, they looked more like four-legged cockroaches. In terms of body size, the two were about the same.
Similarly, in addition to the Shredder Zergs, there was also a monster called the Snake Worm. This was simply an imitation of the Hydralisk. Apart from the fact that it did not have as many claws as the Hydralisk, it was almost exactly the same as the Hydralisk. It could also burrow into the ground. It was practically a fraternal twin of the Hydralisk.
There was also a brother of the Hydralisk, the Digging Python. Although it looked like a large and strengthened version of the Hydralisk, it did the work of the Tunnel Worm. Fangzheng observed it carefully for a while. In the end, he found that the Digging Python only knew how to dig holes on the battlefield. It did not have the ability to dig holes across galaxies like his Tunnel Worm, so he just laughed and let it be.
Fortunately, other than that, the other Terran Zerg units did not have the same sense of familiarity with Fangzheng's own Zergs. Although their frontline troops looked like they were carved from the same mold as the Zergs, it was completely different when it came to the elite troops.
Mixed among the Shredder Worms and Snake Worms were monsters with two legs and four arms. They were huge in size and were good at both long-range and melee combat. The two claws on the top could advance, while the two hands on the bottom could hold different weapons. Not only that, but the bodies of these monsters were also exceptionally hard, at least much harder than the Zergs of the frontline troops.
Some of these monsters were holding guns, some were holding cannons, but if one looked closely, the weapons in their hands were not so much weapons, but some kind of miniature special creature. Considering that the other party also had characteristics similar to the Zergs, perhaps these weapons were the result of their adjustments?
Of course, they also had self-destructing units similar to the Exploding Worms, but compared to the Exploding Worms, they were a little silly. These guys looked like big-headed earthworms. After being hit, they would immediately stand up, expand, and explode on the spot. Although the power was barely passable, the process was too complicated. Only those who had never seen it before would fall for it.
It wasn't as ferocious as the Exploding Zerg's "Charging Bomb".
Of course, these were all ordinary ground troops. Up until now, Fangzheng had not seen any large units similar to the Thunderbeasts. But he was sure that there were.
On the battlefield, the empire's soldiers were exchanging blows with the Tailun Insects.
The Tailun Insect Tribe's first wave of attack came from the sky. Spores fell from the sky and hit everyone's heads. However, the Milky Way Empire was not a pushover. They had lost so many planets and had learned many lessons. When the spores came crashing down, they immediately activated a countermeasure — a large shield generator.
This was the latest shield generator created by the Milky Way Empire. Originally, it was intended to be used on the empire's new battleships. However, after a few battles with the Tailun Insect Tribe fleet, the Milky Way Empire realized that the Planet Destroyer battleships they were so proud of were just like sandwiches. Hence, they immediately scrapped all of them. Naturally, this shield generator was useless. Hence, they brought it here to see if it could be used to defend against the Insect Tribe's aerial attacks.
As it turned out, it was effective.
Most of the spores were blocked by the protective barrier. Only a portion of them broke through the barrier and were caught by the empire's soldiers.
However, this good thing did not last long.
Very quickly, when the first wave of Tailun Insects gathered, the barrier's weakness was immediately exposed. It could control the sky, but not the ground. Hence, when the Digging Pythons learned from the Tunnel Worms and dug their way in, the rest of the Tailun Insects could only fight back.
In the process of fighting against the Tailun Insects, the Chainswords and Cannon Cannons also played a significant role. Compared to the previous times when they had no reaction no matter how they attacked, the Imperial Army seemed to be more oppressive this time. They even pushed back a wave of the Tailun Insects. Of course, such a good thing ended when the Insect Hive Warriors appeared.
The Hive Warriors with four arms and bodies as hard as steel were twice the size of the Storm Troopers equipped with power armor. They didn't even need to do anything special. With a single charge, the Storm Troopers in front of them were sent flying and fell heavily to the ground. Then, the Hive Warriors were swarmed by the Hive Warriors and torn into pieces.
This group of Hive Warriors charged forward as if they had no opponents. However, not long after, their opponents appeared.
"Clang!"
A thick steel plate stood in front of the Hive Warrior like a shield. The Hive Warrior raised its head and saw a yellow, rectangular monster holding a steel plate in one hand and a spinning electric saw in the other. The monster swung down at the Hive Warrior. The Hive Warriors hurriedly raised their hands in an attempt to block the other party's attack. However, the strange cuboid suddenly sped up, and in the next moment, the rotating electric saw slashed down, chopping the Hive Warrior's head in half.
"Hmm … not bad."
Upon seeing this, Fangzheng nodded. The Milky Way Empire did not have the concept of mechas, but they had similar tools. In fact, these things that looked like large mechas were industrial products originally used by the Milky Way Empire to collect wood and dig stones. They were requisitioned by the Milky Way Empire, then embedded with a few steel plates and iron sheets, and sent directly to the battlefield.
The advantage of these mechas was that they did not need any special design. After all, they were used to carry out large-scale and rigorous industrial activities. Their defense and structure were certainly not a problem, so the most the Milky Way Empire had to do was to embed a few steel plates as armor, or add a large electric saw or a howitzer as auxiliary weapons.
Because of this, the mechas that appeared now were of different sizes. There were huge mechas that were used to dig mountains and open roads, and small mechas that were used to cut down trees — although they did not look very beautiful, it was fine as long as they could be used, right?
The battle was still going on.
Two days had passed since the official invasion of the Taron Zergs. The Taron Zergs had already broken into the inner city of the third level — considering that the previous Imperial Army was almost defeated in the battle against the Zergs, this was already very good.
However, Desvader wasn't satisfied with it.
"I didn't expect these monsters to be so difficult to deal with."
Staring at the battlefield outside the city wall, Desvader said in a low voice. They already knew that the Tailun Insect Race could absorb biomass to transform and increase their combat power. Thus, during the design, the empire's power armor also had a self-destruction system. Once it detected that the life of the person in the armor had disappeared, it would immediately self-destruct.
However, what Desvader did not expect was that these damned bugs were not afraid of anything. They did not even let go of the pieces of meat that had been blown into pieces. They swallowed them all! Not only did they devour their enemies, but they also didn't spare the corpses of their own people. They ate almost everything they could get their hands on. When their stomachs were so full that they couldn't eat anymore, they would drag their bloated bodies to the tentacle-like places on the ground outside. They would jump into the "pool" next to the tentacles and melt themselves, along with the food in their stomachs ….
Although Desvader was a ruthless person himself, when he saw this scene, he felt a chill down his spine.
"Hmm, he's not easy to deal with …"
Fangzheng nodded silently and narrowed his eyes.
"Give the order to retreat."
"Now? Didn't you say we have to wait until the inner city is breached? "
Desvader was stunned when he heard Fangzheng's words. According to their original plan, they would only leave after the inner city was breached. Of course, under normal circumstances, once the inner city was breached, no one would be able to escape. But Fangzheng was prepared. He could teleport everyone away with a space jump, so there was no need to worry at all. That was why Desvader took the risk to observe the battlefield with Fangzheng.
"I don't feel good. Let's leave as soon as possible."
Fangzheng stood on the balcony and looked solemnly at the city ruins that were billowing black smoke not far away. Under the attack of the Terran Zerg, most of the originally beautiful city had been reduced to ruins. But this was not the main point. The main point was … the souls.
The Tailun Insect race did not have souls, but humans did. Not long ago, Fangzheng realized that the souls of the soldiers who had died in the Imperial Army seemed to be attracted by something and were slowly gathering underground. At the same time, a foul aura was getting thicker. If he had only sensed it occasionally in the past, Fangzheng could now determine that this planet was definitely abnormal!
"You guys retreat first. I'm going to stay here and observe the situation."
"Okay, but please be careful."
Desvader did not try to dissuade him. He quickly nodded and looked at his subordinates.
"Send the signal. Everyone retreat to the inner city. Retreat in three minutes!"
"Woo …"
Soon, the horn sounded again from the loudspeaker, three long and one short. After hearing the sound, the soldiers of the Empire who were fighting on the city wall quickly retreated. As soon as they retreated, they saw countless Zerg rush in like a tide, filling the empty space left by the soldiers and continuing to advance. They screamed and waved their claws, rushing towards the prey in front of them.
However, at the next moment, a barrier of light suddenly appeared. In less than a second, more than half of the soldiers who had entered the castle disappeared without a trace. Only a few soldiers who ran too slowly and did not enter the safe zone in time were still there. Soon, they were completely drowned by the swarm of Zergs along with their screams.
Hidden in the shadows, Fangzheng, who was standing on the roof, watched silently. He watched as the Tailun Insects charged into the castle and destroyed everything they could see in a frenzy. But this was not the main point. Fangzheng could feel that somewhere under the castle, the mysterious filthy aura was getting stronger and stronger …
But the Terran Zerg did not seem to notice it at all.
The air began to flicker with electricity.
Bolts of lightning and fireballs quietly appeared in the air. They spun madly like leaves that were swept up by a whirlpool. The entire castle started to tremble and shake. Even the Thallun Insects that had invaded the castle stopped in their tracks. They looked around in confusion, not knowing what had happened.
Then, a nightmarish, distorted light suddenly flashed.
The castle that had stood for thousands of years suddenly collapsed. A murky light split the space and tore the distorted air apart. Then, on the ground that was filled with profanity, a group of bloated, ugly, and evil monsters walked out, accompanied by ear-piercing screams and whispers. They stared greedily at the world in front of them, letting out excited and ear-piercing screams.
"This world, this Milky Way, will be twisted and corrupted by us! These bodies and souls will become our playthings again, forever! "
Listening to the screams filled with evil and chaotic aura that came with the wind, Fangzheng helplessly stretched out his hand and pressed it against his forehead.
Why does it feel like … something incredible has appeared?
