Tough City was the name of this human city.
When Lin Huang arrived at the city with the bug horde, he realized that the city wall was much taller than he had imagined.
The wall was over a hundred meters tall. Apart from a sea of metal and monster bones as materials, there were also many barriers and formations to reinforce it.
Even a true god-level powerhouse would not be able to destroy the city wall with all his might.
Lin Huang could almost imagine how much effort had gone into building the city wall.
He lifted his head to look at the top of the city wall. There were many human squads standing neatly there. Many of them wore armor of different colors and styles. They were clearly not part of the army, but they stood neatly as well.
Everyone looked at the Bug Tribe army that had gathered below them with a serious expression.
Just when Lin Huang was thinking about how the battle would begin, he heard a new order.
"Long-range attack, get ready! Target the humans on the city wall! "
As the order was given, there was a commotion among the bug horde.
A moment later, Lin Huang saw the members of a few tribes gathered together.
They were all Bug Tribe tribes that specialized in long-range attacks.
"Defense, form a defense formation to protect the long-range attack tribes!"
Almost at the same time, the Bug Tribe in thick armor and shields surrounded the long-range attack tribes.
As soon as the Bug Tribe moved, the humans on the city wall attacked first.
Lin Huang heard someone shouting from the city wall from far away. "Archers, gunmasters, gunmasters, Elementalists, begin the first round of attack!"
The next second, Lin Huang saw countless arrows, bullets, and all sorts of elemental spells with Divine Power raining down like a storm.
Without even thinking, Lin Huang moved and hid under a Giant Beetle's stomach.
To be honest, this wave of attack was not enough to hurt him at all.
However, he did not plan to expose his identity just yet since he was disguised as a Bug Tribe member. He could only use the Giant Beetle as a shield to avoid this wave of attack.
As soon as the humans launched their first wave of attack, the Bug Tribe fought back.
The Flaming Cannon Bugs spat giant fireballs at the top of the city wall one after another.
One by one, the Sly Ice Bugs formed ice spikes in the air and hurled them out with their tails.
There were also Arrow Sting Insects that looked like hedgehogs. They turned their poisonous stingers into arrows and shot out.
…
The Bug Tribe's attacks were even more varied. Even Lin Huang, who was hiding under the giant beetle, felt that it was an eye-opener.
"The Insectoids actually have so many tribes that specialize in long-range attacks!"
In the first round of confrontation, the Insectoids suffered a large number of casualties.
Countless arrows, bullets, cannonballs, and elemental attacks landed on the various Insectoids. Almost 70% of the Insectoids were hit by this round of attacks. A large number of Insectoids who were not strong enough were directly eliminated. Some were injured by the attacks, and only a few were unharmed.
On the other hand, the humans suffered a lot of attacks, but very few of them died in this round of attacks.
After most of the insectoid attacks passed the height of the city walls, their power was reduced by various formations and restrictions. Many of the attacks disappeared before they could even land. Even if they did land, their power and speed were reduced by 70% to 80%. They were no longer a threat.
Clearly, the humans were well-prepared for this battle.
Lin Huang, who was hiding under the giant beetle's belly, was slightly relieved to see that.
Although this was not the gravel world, the humans in the city were his compatriots after all.
The attacks from both sides went on for over ten minutes. Then, a new order came into Lin Huang's ears all of a sudden.
"Apart from the long-range attack camp, all camps are to charge!"
The Bug Tribe went into a frenzy again as soon as the order was given. A sea of bug beasts shot into the sky and charged toward the top of the city walls.
Only a minority of bug beasts that were not good at flying chose to run toward the bottom of the city walls.
The Bug King's order was mandatory to the ordinary Bug Tribe members, so they could not reject it. However, Lin Huang was not a real Bug Tribe member. He was just an impersonator. Although he could receive such an order, it was not mandatory to him.
Lin Huang knew that the Bug Tribe was going to suffer again as he glanced at the formation patterns that were faintly appearing on the top of the city walls.
He retracted his head obediently and continued to lie under the giant beetle's belly. He waited patiently for the giant beetle to run clumsily on its skinny legs.
It was not that the giant beetles could not fly. They had wings too, but their flying skills were frustrating. Most of the time, they could not turn as soon as they took off. They would crash into any obstacles they encountered. Therefore, the giant beetles would not flap their wings unless they were running for their lives.
A sea of bug beasts arrived above the city walls when a few of the giant beetles were only one-third of the way there.
Just as Lin Huang expected, the countless bug beasts were slowed down by the formations and barriers as soon as they passed the city walls. They became live targets.
Naturally, the humans on the city walls would not let go of such a great opportunity. This time, almost everyone on the city walls attacked. They attacked the Bug Tribe members who were slowed down with all sorts of techniques.
The first wave of Bug Tribe fighters at the front became live targets directly. They were killed almost instantly.
The Bug Tribe members at the back reacted immediately when they realized that something was wrong. However, they did not retreat. Instead, they used their compatriots at the front as shields and continued to charge toward the city walls.
Although they were much slower, there were still a lot of Bug Tribe members. Apart from the high number of casualties in the first wave, the death rate dropped significantly after that.
Seeing that the Bug Tribe troops were getting closer, the pressure on the humans increased.
"Squads, attack!"
As the humans gave the order, up to a hundred human squads charged from the city walls. The members of the squads were basically high-level Virtual Gods. They shot out like arrows and charged into the swarm of bugs.
Unlike the Bug Tribe members who were slowed down, all the members of these hundred human squads seemed to be unaffected by the barriers and formations.
As the battle went on, it was as if up to a hundred ferocious tigers were pouncing on a flock of sheep.
The Bug Tribe's attack was disrupted instantly. Their initial target of charging toward the city walls was now killing the squads.
The tsunami-like bug horde seemed to have hundreds of whirlpools in an instant, and their direction was disrupted.
"What a beautiful move!"
Lin Huang could not help but exclaim when he saw that.
"The Bug Tribe relied on hundreds of billions of people to build up their momentum, but they were easily disrupted by just over a thousand people!"
However, in just a moment, Lin Huang could not help but frown under his disguise. He suddenly thought of a problem.
"The battle is so intense now, and countless True Gods are watching this battlefield. I'm afraid it won't be easy for me to remove my disguise and sneak into the city. It's fine if the Bug Tribe finds out, but if the humans find out, there's a high chance that they'll think I'm a Bug Tribe spy. Even if I can prove that I'm human, I don't think they'll trust me. After all, it's not like there haven't been human spies controlled by the Bug Tribe before … "
