The Fire Nation soldiers were completely stunned by the Zerg's surprise attack.

It's not like they haven't fought Zerg before, but Fang Zheng never exposed the Zerg's ability to lurk before them. Moreover, these Fire Nation soldiers had no idea about the connection between Zerg and fungal blankets.

Hmm... marching in formation on the fungal blanket... I'm afraid they are tired of living.

"Defense formation! Defense formation!!"

Faced with the swarm of insects that suddenly emerged from the ground, the soldiers of the Fire Nation were completely panicked. They had never experienced a situation where tens of thousands of enemies suddenly appeared around them. Even if they wanted to gather, they could not stand firm under the attack of the swarm. For a time, the entire Fire Nation army was surrounded by the swarm of insects. The only thing they could do was to fight on their own and try to fight their way out of the swarm so that they could gather together.

“Drink it!!”

An elite warrior raised his sword and slashed it, the sword energy whistling out, splitting the Zergling in front of him in half. He took two steps back, then grasped the hilt of the two-handed giant sword, spun and slashed at the Zergling in front of him. The sharp blade wrapped in sword energy easily tore through the Zergling's armor and killed it.

At the same time, the Zerglings on the other side quickly followed and pounced on the elite warrior. But before it could hit the target, a blue magic barrier suddenly unfolded, and the Zerglings hit the magic barrier heavily, then bounced to the side.

"Thank you!"

Looking at the wizard behind him, the elite warrior heaved a sigh of relief. Because not many people in the Fire Nation believe in the Goddess of Order, unlike the Holy Nation, their army does not have the sequence of Paladins. Instead, there are mostly Wild Hunt Warlocks and Mages.

Facts have also proved that these mages are not raised in vain and can still be relied upon at critical moments.

"Don't be careless, these bugs are different from before... What are they!?"

Looking at the swarm of insects, the mage suddenly shouted, and the elite warrior turned his head. Then he saw that among those ugly insects, a green-covered, huddled insect was transforming into an invincible Fire Wheel and rushing towards them quickly!

"This is……"

However, before the elite warrior could react, the bug had already rolled out and crashed into the magician's barrier. Then the elite warrior heard a "boom" explosion in his ear, and the magic barrier in front of him shattered. Then the bursting airflow and green poisonous liquid spread out, knocking all the nearby human soldiers to the ground.

"Woooooa ...

The elite warrior had not expected the explosion of this green monster to be so powerful. He was caught off guard and knocked to the ground by the oncoming air wave. Before he could get up, the surrounding Zerglings swarmed over him and completely turned him into a pile of rotten meat.

Almost at the first encounter, the Fire Nation's soldiers suffered heavy losses. After all, these Zerglings had three attacks and three defenses, and they were given hormones. Even the Iron Blood plasma cannons could not penetrate their shells, and the standard weapons used by ordinary soldiers could not even think about it. Most soldiers could not even break the defense of the Zerglings when they swung their swords. Under such circumstances, it is easy to imagine how heavy the Fire Nation's military losses were.

But after removing the dross and retaining the essence, the elite of the Fire Nation became increasingly difficult to deal with after those cannon fodders were killed. Mages flew into the sky one after another and cast their best spells at the Zerg - since most mages would cast triggered protective spells, they were also the ones with the largest number of survivors from the first wave of the Zerg's attack.

Of course, it’s another story if you’re unlucky and get killed by the baneling.

Soon, the situation on the battle began to change gradually. The surviving elite stood back to back and used their flesh and blood to form a solid line of defense. Above their heads, the mages cast various spells such as fireballs, blizzards, lightning, etc., knocking down the swarms of insects in front of them one after another.

Although the Zerg is not afraid of mental magic, its resistance to necromancy and elemental spells is not that strong. Except for the cockroaches that can survive the explosion of fireball, most of the Zerglings and Hydralisks are either frozen into popsicles, roasted into charcoal, or turned into a pile of black residue by lightning.

But they did not give up. The swarm would not be afraid. As long as the Overlord gave the order, they would move forward without hesitation, even if there was a wall of sharp blades, a cloud of deadly poisonous gas, or even a bottomless swamp.

"Continue to defend! Be alert all around!!"

A knight swung his sword and chopped down a Zergling that jumped out from the side. Then he glanced around, and then his eyes suddenly widened. He jumped up, and almost at the same time, a series of ground spikes suddenly shot out from the mud under his feet. They almost brushed against the knight's boots and fell into the air.

The knight roared, clenched the sword with both hands and chopped down hard in the direction where the spikes came from. As the earth trembled, a lurker was directly shaken out from the ground by the violent force. It waved its limbs to try to resist, but the arrow that followed turned into a silver beam of light and easily penetrated its hard shell, leaving a fist-sized blood hole in the lurker's body, turning it into a corpse.

"Keep retreating, we must meet up with that adult!!"

After taking a look at the flags flying around them, these elite soldiers hurriedly moved their feet and tried to gather together. They now felt as if they were being swept and surrounded by the waves called insect swarms. Even if they wanted to move their feet, it was extremely difficult.

Behind the Zerglings, the Destroyers were madly spewing corrosive bile at the distant enemies. This foul-smelling and highly corrosive bile was flying in the air like flowers scattered by a fairy. Once it came into contact with an armor, even the strongest armor would become as fragile as a biscuit soaked in water.

At this moment, the entire battlefield has turned into a hell. Between the Zerg and humans, there is only killing left on both sides. Death is everywhere. The corpses of the Zerg and humans are mixed together, indistinguishable from each other.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry!!”

With the cooperation of the wizard above their heads, the remaining troops of the Fire Nation began to gather quickly. They had lost the arrogance they had when they first arrived, and only hoped to fight their way out of the countless swarms of insects and leave.

The troops in the front have been completely wiped out, leaving only the remnant troops in the middle and rear still struggling to hold on. If it weren't for the mage, the situation would probably be even more dangerous.

At this moment, in front of a carriage at the rear, a red-haired man in armor was staring at all this with flaming eyes.

"These damn bastards!!"

"Sir, please calm down, calm down!!"

Looking at the red-haired man's expression, an attendant beside him hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Let's get out of here first, it's very dangerous here!!"

"Why would I leave!?"

The red-haired man glared at his follower, and he instinctively retracted his hand in fear. At this moment, thousands of springtails gathered from all directions and pounced on the red-haired man.

While looking at the jumping insects in front of him, the red-haired man clenched the sword in his hand and swung it violently!

“Go to hell!!”

Along with the red-haired man's roar, the next moment the Zerglings rushing towards him began to burn in their bodies. Wisps of flames burst out from the eyes, ears, mouths and noses of the swarm. All the swarms turned into balls of fire in the blink of an eye, and the bright red flames burned and boiled on their bodies.

The red-haired man opened his mouth and took a deep breath.

As he moved, the flames burning on the insects' bodies were quickly attracted and flew over, then disappeared into his mouth.

"Pah, it's so disgusting!"

The red-haired man spat, glaring around viciously.

"These damn bugs, their souls are as disgusting as their appearance!!"

As he spoke, the red-haired man looked at his followers, and when his followers noticed the red-haired man's gaze, their expressions suddenly changed.

“Sir, no, please don’t… Aaaaaaahhh!!”

However, before the follower could finish his words, his entire body suddenly began to burn and quickly turned into a fire man. The red-haired man opened his mouth again, absorbed the flames from the follower's body, and then burped with satisfaction.

"As expected, human souls are still delicious."

He smacked his lips in satisfaction, then looked forward again with a gloomy expression.

"Those damned bastards can't even beat something like this. Do they want me to do it myself?"

"boom!!"

Before the red-haired man finished his words, suddenly, there was a loud noise from the ground, and then a tall monster suddenly emerged from the ground, mixed in with the swarm of insects, and rushed towards the remnants of the Fire Nation soldiers not far away.

At the same time, accompanied by the whistling sound in the sky, flying dragons emerged from the clouds. They spread their wings and spewed flames as they rushed towards the mages floating in the air.

The battle of the Zerg swarm has officially begun!
