The battle above the city wall had reached its climax less than three seconds after it began.
The Bug Tribe army tried to cross the city wall in a frenzy, but they were restricted by the formations and barriers that the humans had set up in advance. Furthermore, they were attacked head-on.
They had just regrouped and were about to force their way through when they were ambushed by the human elite squads.
These hundred-odd squads were all composed of high-level Virtual Gods. Each squad consisted of ten to fifteen people, forming a small-scale battle formation. Clearly, they had practiced for a long time. The power of each battle formation was comparable to that of a Virtual God rank-9 powerhouse. Some were even more powerful.
Although there were many Bug Tribe fighters, most of them were beginner-stage and intermediate-stage Virtual Gods. There were less than one-fifth of high-level Virtual Gods.
Under the ambush, the human squads were like a sharp knife cutting through butter. They completely disrupted the Bug Tribe army's formation in an instant.
The sea of Bug Tribe fighters was no match for the ambush squads at all. Before the Virtual God rank-9 and true god-level powerhouses arrived, the human battle formations clearly could not stop killing.
Although they had a huge advantage in terms of numbers, the Bug Tribe did not gain any advantage in the two consecutive battles.
As the battle raged in the air, the Bug Tribe army on land finally arrived below the city wall.
Countless sparks lit up on the city wall all of a sudden. Fireballs fell to the ground like a meteor shower.
The moment the fireballs hit the ground and exploded, the ground below the city wall was suddenly ignited. Within the span of a few breaths, hundreds of meters around the city wall turned into a sea of fire.
Divine Power and Curse Power spread faintly in the blood-red flames. The sea of Bug Tribe fighters were set on fire instantly, and the flames could no longer be put out.
The bug beasts let out shrill cries in the flames. They then rolled around in agony and turned into dried corpses that had lost their flesh and blood.
"Bloodthirsty Fire …"
Even Lin Huang did not expect the humans to do this.
Bloodthirsty Fire was a type of Curse Divine Skill. This forbidden skill required the sacrifice of the Divine Fire in a True God's body and the flesh and blood of ninety-nine Virtual Gods.
Although Lin Huang did not know the conditions, he knew that this was an evil skill.
The Human Race had most likely sealed this evil technique in a secret technique crystal, buried it underground, and then used a concealment restriction to conceal it. As a result, no one was able to detect it with their spiritual sense.
When the insectoids stepped into the trap, they would use fire magic to detonate it.
However, judging from the area covered by the flames below the city wall, the Human Race had buried at least a dozen secret technique crystals with the Bloodthirsty Fire sealed in them.
Lin Huang was caught off guard and almost fell for it. Fortunately, his Divine Telekinesis was always on. As soon as he sensed the dangerous red flames burning on the ground, he immediately covered his body with the mirror.
The giant beetle he was hiding in was not so lucky. Like the other Bug Tribe warriors nearby, its body was instantly ignited and turned into a dried corpse as it struggled.
In less than 20 breaths of time, the Bloodthirsty Fire had been ignited, and almost all the Zergs that stepped into its range had turned into dried corpses.
Fortunately, even though it was a dried corpse, the giant beetle was massive enough that it did not expose Lin Huang's tracks.
To avoid attracting attention, Lin Huang adjusted his aura with Thousand Face to nothingness. He sat under the giant beetle's belly and continued playing dead.
Under the isolation of the mirror, the Bloodthirsty Fire only drained a small amount of Divine Power.
He had to admit that playing dead also allowed Lin Huang to observe the entire battlefield better.
On the ground, due to the isolation of the Bloodthirsty Fire, the insectoids at the back stopped moving forward. Most of them chose to stay where they were and wait for the flames to extinguish. A small portion of them flew up directly and joined the battle above the city wall.
Meanwhile, the battle above the city wall was getting more and more intense.
Although the attack on the ground was thwarted, the Bug Tribe finally regained the upper hand in the battle in the sky.
Many Virtual God rank-9 powerhouses rushed to the area where the human teams were and stopped the massacre in the human battle formations. There were even a small number of low-rank True Gods who joined the battle to stop the human teams.
As soon as the Bug Tribe's True Gods attacked, the humans sent their True Gods to join the battle to fight the Bug Tribe's True Gods.
The battle had only begun for less than three minutes, but the True Gods had already joined the battle. The battle escalated again!
Lin Huang had been watching the battle and waiting for the opportunity to come in contact with the humans.
Since the Bloodthirsty Fire did not have the support of Divine Power, it was extinguished completely in less than two minutes after the explosion.
The humans wanted the fire to burn longer, but they had no way to power the divine skill from afar.
As soon as the fire was extinguished, the Bug Tribe army on the ground soon arrived at the city again.
Lin Huang suppressed the thought of changing to another cover. He chose to continue watching while hiding under the giant beetle's carcass because he was unsure if the humans had a second technique.
However, the humans did not seem to be preparing a second technique similar to the Bloodthirsty Fire.
The humans did not react at all until the horde of Giant Hammer Bugs began attacking the city gate.
However, Lin Huang knew that it would not be easy to break through the door when he saw the dense formation patterns that were faintly appearing on the black metal door.
Each attack from the tens of Giant Hammer Bugs was nothing less than a meteorite hitting the ground. They even carried a sea of Divine Power. However, even after tens of thousands of attacks, Lin Huang could only see ripples that looked like water ripples on the barrier faintly. None of them broke.
On the Bug Tribe's side, they sent the remaining three true god-level giant hammer bugs to join the formation to attack the city gate. There was finally some progress.
One must know that although the three true god-level Giant Hammer Bugs only had a low-rank True God combat strength, their attack power was nothing less than an intermediate-rank True God. Moreover, their attack had a strong penetrating and shaking force. They had an advantage over intermediate-rank True Gods when it came to attacking the city.
However, the three true god-level Giant Hammer Bugs and over 30 Giant Hammer Bugs attacked the formation for tens of thousands of times. Finally, there were some cracks on the formation.
"Are they trying to stall for time?" Lin Huang was rather doubtful.
Although there were hundreds of layers of defense formations and many of them were integrated with the formation on the city wall, the city gate would break sooner or later if the Giant Hammer Bugs were to attack like that. It was just a matter of time.
Therefore, Lin Huang could not figure out what the humans were planning.
From the first few waves of operations, he could tell that the human side should have a very good strategist planning the entire war, and even many details had been considered. Logically speaking, they should have expected that the city gates would be attacked.
On the battlefield, time ticked by.
The battle above the city wall was extremely intense. Below the city wall, only the thuds of the Giant Hammer Bugs smashing the gate could be heard.
Initially, the Bug Tribe sent a climbing tribe in an attempt to climb the city wall.
However, not only did the humans pour lubricant on the city wall beforehand, but they also set up abnormal gravity, flight ban and all sorts of other strange barriers. As a result, nobody could climb the entire city wall. The closer they were to the city wall, the more obstacles they faced when they flew.
Therefore, the Bug Tribe soldiers below the city could only watch the battle in the sky while waiting for the Giant Hammer Bugs to break the gate.
Over ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
The tens of Giant Hammer Bugs finally broke one-third of the barrier on the gate. Looking at the progress, the Bug Tribe army would break the gate in 20 minutes at the most.
However, the gate opened all of a sudden at that moment.
Before the Bug Tribe could react, tens of squads made of high-level virtual god-level powerhouses dashed out of the gate. They formed a battle formation and began killing the bug beasts on the ground.
The tens of squads had an ability that was clearly more powerful than the hundreds of squads in the sky. Virtual God rank-9 powerhouses were in charge of the formation, and there were more than 30 people in each squad. The power of the battle formation that they formed could fight a first-rank True God.
As more than 30 squads dashed out, a hunk that was over two meters tall with a muscular body dashed out too.
He wore a full set of golden armor with a helmet and a gigantic black shield on his back.
Lin Huang could tell at a glance that the equipment on him was not an ordinary god relic. It was a set of defensive god rule relic. The shield was also a god rule relic.
Judging from the two layers of defense activated by the two sets of god rule relic, the two sets of god rule relic clearly had a high grade.
However, the hunk did not join the battle. Instead, he stopped walking as soon as he arrived at the gate. He then turned around with his back facing the Bug Tribe army. He took something out from his storage space and pasted it on the gate.
"What's he doing?"
Countless Bug Race beings were shocked to see this.
Lin Huang was stunned at first, but he could not help but laugh out loud when he saw what the hunk pasted on the gate.
Naturally, he recognized that the hunk was holding a stack of formation talismans with all sorts of defensive formation patterns carved on them.
The hunk was repairing the defense formation that the Giant Hammer Bugs had just destroyed on the gate in front of all the Bug Tribes.
Lin Huang laughed so hard that tears were coming out of his eyes as he watched the hunk pasting the formation talismans on the gate one after another.
"Who exactly came up with such an idea?! It's something that I can't even come up with no matter how hard I try! "
