Chapter 158: Consumption
A new round of battle has begun.
Countless shells rained down from the dark sky, and all the Zerg and Sky Cloud soldiers who were clearing the battlefield and carrying out operations outside were locked onto by the weapons. Before the lasers could penetrate them, Poponia's shield immediately expanded, covering the entire base.
With Anno by their side, their abilities were enhanced many times over.
Anno brings not only the Queen Worm effect, but also her personal abilities: enhanced energy, increased ability levels, and restoration and healing. As a Queen Worm, she has an extremely high ability ceiling, and the Zerg also has enough energy stones for her to use.
Caesar and the others felt her beside them, their energy surging within them, and they knew that their little princess would lead their insectoid race to new heights.
"Are they here to provide reinforcements?!"
Luo Su hurriedly climbed onto the wall and walked to Anuo's side.
She was jolted awake the moment the shells fell and quickly followed Anno's energy to find her.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Zerg and Tianyun were already counterattacking, and the artillery fire from both sides exploded into brilliant sparks in the dark and gloomy environment.
The shielding system of Beihe has been turned off, and both sides can use various weapons and superpowers.
Countless soldiers from the North River and Casa jumped from their fighter jets, and Anno and his men watched as a single North River soldier swept away a large number of their soldiers.
They are a legion of superpowered beings.
The opposing side consists of soldiers with extremely high levels of superpowers. They probably know that Anno is here, so they dispatched their strongest force.
Anno looked down with a solemn expression and found that almost none of the soldiers on their side used superpowers. At most, there were Sky Cloud soldiers who could transform into beast forms, and the Zerg were mostly fighting in their original forms.
Soon, the Zerg's analysis of the enemy's capabilities on the battlefield was transmitted through their consciousness network.
Anno learned from the consciousness network that as long as enemy soldiers approached them, they would be unable to use their powers, and even their thermal weapons would malfunction. They would be forced to transform into beasts and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Compared to the wide-area shielding that even affected Beihe and his own forces, this kind of personally carried shielding that only targets the enemy is much more troublesome.
Secris said, "It's new technology from North River and Casa."
The Kasa have the strongest energy technology in the Alliance, but they are very short of energy, which is why they allied with the Northern River. For many eras, the Kasa have coveted the Zerg's energy, but they are afraid of the Zerg and have never dared to make any big moves.
In the past, the Zerg did not participate much in large-scale interstellar wars, preferring to roam around, fighting here and there. They were not inclined to launch attacks. Now that the Zerg have taken the initiative to participate in the Alliance War, Kassadin can take advantage of this opportunity to form an alliance with the Northern River and stand on the opposite side of the Zerg.
Their energy technology combined with the shielding technology of the Northern River to develop new shielding methods.
Each soldier carries a small shielding device that forms a shielding shield within a very small area. The shielding devices on each soldier are linked together, and the more shielding devices they carry, the stronger the shielding becomes, like weaving a large net that covers the entire battlefield. It also forms a super strong isolation shield that isolates support from outside the battlefield, preventing the auxiliary abilities from the rear from coming in.
Most importantly, this shield will no longer affect them; it will be a one-sided massacre.
Although it is still in the trial phase, it has been tested in several battlefields and has already begun mass production.
Anno and Losu continuously unleashed their abilities to assist their soldiers, but Losu discovered that his energy could not penetrate the shield.
She turned to look at Anuo, who was radiating a faint light. The light behind her ears was much stronger than usual, and energy poured out of her body like a river bursting its banks.
The Zerg's unique consciousness network allowed her to break through this shield and support the Zerg soldiers, but it was much more difficult for the Sky Cloud soldiers. Although her energy could cover them, it was somewhat strenuous and consumed a great deal of energy.
Although they could provide support, they were somewhat helpless against the enemy's defensive shields.
The energy stone she wore also flashed a dazzling red light, replenishing the energy she had lost.
Caesar and the others had already joined the battle, leaving only Tanville by her side to protect her.
Anno placed her hand on the long sword at her waist several times, but she needed to assess the situation first. The enemy outnumbered them several times over and had powerful shielding measures.
Although her energy can sustain her in supporting all her own soldiers, if her energy is depleted too quickly, her mental strength will be the first to give out.
She was monitoring the information coming from the front lines through her consciousness network. Caesar and his men had gone to the battlefield, and their abilities were being blocked.
She and Tanville exchanged a glance. This battle was almost overwhelming for them; they were far outnumbered.
If Caesar and his men could use their abilities, they wouldn't be afraid of numbers several times their own, but right now they're fighting a war of attrition.
This wasn't a loss of soldiers on the battlefield, but rather of Anno and Losu.
Knowing that her energy couldn't be used on the battlefield, Luo Su transferred all her energy to Anuo, helping her alleviate the mental strain caused by the rapid depletion of her energy.
Tianhe and Casa knew they had support from the rear, so they formed an encirclement on the battlefield and continued to advance towards the base.
Their mission this time is to capture the Zerg's Little Queen Zerg and the Heavenly Cloud's Holy Spirit.
After the Tianhe and the Zerg completely broke off relations, the beasts finally revealed their true colors.
In order to eliminate the biggest problem of the Zerg in one fell swoop, after learning that the Little King Worm was on this asteroid, Beihe called for more support and vowed to capture the Little King Worm.
Losu looked up at the sky with a worried expression. "Their support is increasing."
Anno watched as fighter jets continued to pierce through the clouds, and more North River Casas and Carolas joined the battle.
This is the front line of the North River. Although it is only one of the smaller defensive lines, their reinforcements arrive faster than those from the Zerg.
Luo Su squeezed Anuo's hand reassuringly, "It's alright, little Anuo, we still have Karcart."
Calcart is the boy who had been by Losu's side all along. He possesses an SSS-level shielding ability and is currently the strongest shielding ability in the Tianyun Star System and possibly the Interstellar Alliance. Shielding abilities are extremely rare in the entire interstellar space, and he is currently the only one who has reached his level.
However, his superpower did not rise normally. Several years ago, the leader of the Divine Wing Organization of the Tianyun Star System, known as "Udonas," transferred energy into him, forcibly raising him to SSS level.
Anuo looked down and realized that Luo Su and she had already held hands without her noticing.
Luo Su knew that she was young and had suffered a lot after being stolen by Beihe. She was afraid that she would not be able to bear it and wanted to comfort her.
She is a Holy Spirit with the ability to create illusions and is very sensitive to people's psychological states. She always felt that Anno's mind was very tense.
Anno focused his attention on the battlefield in front of him. Now, Calcart had also gone to the battlefield. With him there, all of the enemy's abilities were blocked. Those with slightly lower ability levels were suppressed and could not use any abilities. Those with higher ability levels, even after being suppressed, could not use their abilities much against the fully armed Sky Cloud soldiers and the physically strong Zerg.
It's currently a war of attrition between the two sides, but the situation is not looking good for the Zerg.
Anno shifted his gaze from the battlefield to the valley further away.
The image of those pairs of beastly eyes flashed through her mind; those incredibly numerous Fallen Ones, who could now also be called the Beast Race.
After she had this idea, all her followers in the consciousness network received it.
Tanville, who was standing to the side, was initially surprised by Anno's idea. After quickly considering it, he and several other members of his family expressed their feasible opinions in the consciousness network.
An Overlord of the Zerg has the ability to mark other races, just like Anno marked Bazel, making him a member of an alien branch of the Zerg.
Once marked, these people will eventually transform into Zerg.
Marking one person is very different from marking a group; the consumption is unimaginable.
They were all worried about Anno, since only the King possessed the ability to mark, and they couldn't help her.
Anno gazed resolutely into the distance. "This is only our first battle. If we're already scared, how are we going to fight in the future?"
At Anno's summons, Caesar quickly returned to her side. Since she was outside the battlefield and the shielding devices did not affect this area, Caesar quickly opened a portal and went with Tanvir to the valley they had been in before.
