Chapter 85: The Reconquest of Kurast (8)
In the lush and hot and humid rainforest, a bloody and tragic scene is unfolding.
Countless sheep-headed demons, under the command of the Evil Pacters, charged in droves towards the stump-strewn death zone in front of them.
Since the first wave of thousands of sheep-headed demons were killed almost instantaneously by the saboteur's cannon fire and the bone spurs of the lurkers, the Evil Pact quickly changed tactics, scattering the remaining demons and letting them break out of the rainforest in an attempt to bypass the lurkers' ambush zone.
However, the worm mothers in charge of directing the attack had already expected this, and the sheep-headed demon hordes scattered into the jungle were soon ambushed by another invisible killer.
Thousands of shadow insects were gathered by the insect mothers and scattered to all corners of the jungle in this area, and their powerful blood-tracking ability combined with the tracking and monitoring of the king insects made it impossible for the sheep-headed demons to be slaughtered even if they were scattered.
The several hidden insect nests that Xue Hua had arranged around Cui Fanke played their due role at this time, and shadow insects continued to emerge from the insect hives and lurk in the nearby jungle, waiting for the opportunity to kill all the demon clones who tried to bypass the interception area.
These hives form an invisible web around the area of rainforest closest to the seaport of Kurast, and unless the sheep-headed demon clones return to Trevank and choose another path to the harbor, they will eventually run into this deadly net no matter how scattered they are.
However, since most of the Zerg units have been brought to the frontal battlefield of Kurast Harbor by Zagara, the thickness of the entire large net is relatively weak, although the area is vast.
So there are always demons that will break out of the net and then concentrate in the direction of the Kurast harbor under the arrangement of the Evil Pacters.
And these demon clones who were lucky enough to break out of the interception circle will face the tracking of the monitoring king worm all the way and a new round of encirclement and interception by the ground interception force of the insect swarm.
Due to the existence of the node king worm, the spiritual command signals sent by these evil pact to the demon clones were captured one by one and sent to the insect mothers who commanded the interception, according to these orders, the insect mothers could arrange for the nearby swarm units to go to the demon clones to ambush the assembly points of the demon clones first.
The powerful combat power and quick reaction of the insect swarm made the scattered breakout tactics of the Evil Covenant quickly lose their effect, and after losing about 30,000 demon clones, they had to change their tactics once again, gathering the remaining demon clones to prepare for a wave of concentrated breakthroughs.
At the same time, the Worm Mothers, who were directing the battle in the rear, had also received a more troublesome news, and the lurkers they had placed in the front row of the interception net were being attacked with great destructiveness.
Judging from the battlefield stratum images sent by the Surveillance King Worm, it should have been the fierce poison vine summoned by the druids of those high-level evil pacters who attacked the lurkers.
These vine-like creatures do have the ability to burrow into the dirt.
Due to their numerical inferiority, the worm mothers in charge of the interception mission did not choose to send ground troops to fight the demons, which led to the lurkers not being able to obtain the necessary battlefield protection.
In front of the high-level druid's fierce poison vines, the lurkers with weak ontological combat power are no match at all.
Faced with this situation, several insect mothers deliberated for a while, and finally decided to let the infected and the toadstool take action, the former hatching a large number of aliens to delay the advance of the demon clones, and the latter using the masking fog to disorient the army of demon clones who were preparing to break out in a concentrated manner.
Then, the mother worms removed all the lurkers in the front row, and dispersed them along with the shadow insects into the fungus mist released by the toadstools.
As the lurkers withdrew, the demon clones advanced much faster, and the high-level Evil Pact commanders in the rear thought that their previous plan had worked, so they began to continue to use the fierce poison vine and various summons to open the way, and quickly break through to the depths of the rainforest.
However, soon, a large number of terrifying and weird-looking mutants appeared in front of the demon army, although these strange-shaped creatures were not as powerful as the demon clones at all, but their completely fatal fighting style still temporarily entangled the hands and feet of the demon army.
When the high-level evil pact people commanded the demon clones to clear all the mutants, they found that a thick layer of lilac strange mist had filled the leaf forest around them.
"What the hell is this?" A high-level evil pact cursed viciously.
"Regardless of him, just continue to move forward according to the plan we discussed before!"
"That's right! The other party has not come out to fight us head-on, which means that they must not be confident that they can defeat us from the front, we just need to follow the plan we made before to let those demons go to the front, and finally we will be able to get out! ”
The other high-level evil pacters were boosting their morale with every word they spoke, but in fact, the thickening purple fungus mist around them also made them feel their scalps tingle for a while.
All the Evil Pact had a sense of foreboding, and there might be nothing good waiting for them in this strange mist.
Just as these evil pact people were preoccupied with guarding their surroundings, there were suddenly bursts of terrible screams and screams from the sheep-headed demon troops that had opened the way ahead.
Due to the heavy fog that obscured their eyes, and the fact that there was something in the fog, even their perception was greatly limited, so these Evil Pact Commanders didn't know what was going on in front of them.
They could only bite the bullet and order the demon legion to move forward, but soon more screams came from all over the legion.
The voices sounded terrible, and from the direction they came, it looked as if they had been surrounded by their opponents.
Some of the Evil Covenanters couldn't sit still, and they began to look around, and the classes that could summon minions also summoned their minions to poke around.
"We... We're not going to be surrounded, are we? ”
"What stupid are you talking about?! If those monsters had the ability to surround us, wouldn't they have been doing it a long time ago? ”
"Then this voice ......"
"It must be a trick on this fog, let's speed up our march, just get out of this fog!"
The Evil Pact quickly agreed on a plan, and once again they urged the Demon Legion to speed up their movement.
However, no matter how fast they walked, there was still no sign of getting out of the misty area, but the screams of the sheep-headed demons around them became more and more intense, and even some of the evil deeds saw the blood light that flashed in the fog!
"Damn it! Hell yes! Why is this fog area so wide? When exactly are we going to get out!? ”
Some of the Evil Pact Practitioners were forced to become irritable by the strange situation around them, and they now felt as if an invisible knife was slowly approaching their necks inch by inch.
"Don't panic! Don't panic! We'll have to find a way to contact the winged demons in the sky and get them to show us the way through the fog with fireballs! ”
A high-ranking Evil Pact reassured the emotions of the people around him loudly and made a suggestion that seemed quite good.
However, although his idea was good, the fungus mist of the toadstool insects was indeed very afraid of fire, but the problem was that since they entered the fungus mist, there had been node king insects taking turns to block their psionic communication in a relay manner, so it was impossible for them to contact the winged demons above the woods through the shield of the node king insects now.
What's more, now those Winged Demons may not be able to spare their hands to help them guide the way, and just as Evan and Finn began to fight the two Legendary Cultivators, a large number of Xenosaurs also descended from the sky and began to launch a surprise attack on the air units of the Demon Legion.
