Then he asked Kerrigan, "Can the Brood Lords be recruited directly? Or are they mutated from other unit types?"
“It mutated from the Corruptor!” Kerrigan replied.
Su Bai opened the data panel.
As expected, an additional attribute was added to the Corruptor's detailed information.

[Mutated into a Nesting Insect Lord: Requires 10,000 Souls]
“Now, there are no more souls left. Otherwise, with more mutated nest lords, we would definitely be able to break through Stormwind City’s outer defenses in one fell swoop!” Su Bai said.
"My lord, these ten thousand brood worms are more than enough to break through Stormwind!"
Kerrigan's eyes shone brightly, and her face was full of confidence.
"Good!" Su Bai's eyes sharpened, and he shouted, "Organize the insect swarm immediately and launch a new offensive!"
...
...
An hour later.
A new round of siege warfare has officially begun.
Ten thousand brood lords hovered high in the sky, launching an ultra-long-range attack from a distance of five thousand meters from Stormwind.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Countless swarms of hive bugs were projected from the hive sac on the back of the hive bug lord.
They are not large in size, but their numbers are enormous.
With lightning speed, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, it swept across the sky and hurtled towards Stormwind City.
The swarm of nest insects was magnificent and overwhelming.
Like an endless black cloud, it was pressing down on Stormwind City on the ground.
The magic cannons on the city walls, along with numerous archers and mages, launched an attack on the swarm of nest insects rapidly approaching from the sky.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
A violent explosion rang out high in the sky.
Thousands, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of nest insects were attacked and died en route.
However.
The brood lord can continuously project brood worms.
When a batch of wax moths dies, another batch will appear.
Furthermore, the offensive continued seamlessly without any pause.
Time passed second by second.
Stormwind's ranged attack capabilities have weakened.
After all, launching continuous attacks requires a tremendous amount of physical, mental, and magical energy.
The swarm of nest insects, like a sudden storm, launched a continuous bombardment of the magical barrier five hundred meters from the city wall.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The sound of explosions continued.
It went on for hours without stopping.
The magic barrier became shaky and unstable.
"The Nesting Insect Lord is indeed formidable!"
Su Bai, who was watching from the rear, perched high above the Thunder Beast's head, revealed a look of admiration in his eyes.
"Yes! The endless stream of brood worms launching long-range bombardments makes these brood worm lords seem like perpetual motion machines, which is truly amazing!" Zhao Ganwu stared intently at the battlefield before him.
“In a little while, this magical barrier will shatter!” Kerrigan narrowed her eyes.
Ten minutes later.
A loud bang was heard.
The magical barrier, located 500 meters from the city wall, shattered suddenly under the prolonged bombardment of the swarm of nest insects, turning into wisps of smoke and dissipating into the air.
"here you go!"
Su Bai's eyes lit up. "In this way, the swarm of insects can launch an attack on the city walls!"
Just then.
The dwarven gryphon riders, dragonhawk riders, and hippogryphs all ascended to a higher altitude, leaving Stormwind City and heading towards the Brood Lord five thousand meters away.
"Not good! The enemy is trying to attack our siege force!" Zhao Ganwu exclaimed.
"Gan Wu, there's no need to worry!"
Su Bai smiled slightly, his voice filled with confidence.
"With the triple protection of Corruptors, Mirages, and Hydralisks, enemy air forces will absolutely not be able to get close to the Brood Lord."
What happened next was exactly as Su Bai had predicted.
When a large number of dwarven griffin riders, dragonhawk riders, and hippogriffs charged over.
The combined ground and air defenses of the Corruptors, Alien Dragons, and Hydralisks inflicted heavy losses, forcing them to retreat repeatedly.
Despite suffering hundreds of thousands of casualties, they were still unable to approach the area where the brood lord was located.
have no choice.
These dwarven gryphon riders, dragonhawk riders, and hippogryphs had no choice but to retreat and return to Stormwind.
Otherwise, if they stay any longer, they will be wiped out by a combined attack from the Corruptors, the Alien Dragons, and the Hydralisks.
"Breed Lord!"
"Continue the attack!"
"Target: the magic cannon on the city wall!"
Su Bai, perched atop the Thunder Beast's head, issued the command.
Upon receiving the command, the ten thousand nest lords slowly moved forward five hundred meters.
Then, it hovered high in the sky.
They began firing nest bugs at the magic cannons on the city wall.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Waves of nest insects landed on the city walls.
Undeterred by death, they began attacking the magic cannons.
Although the Stormwind soldiers on the city walls can inflict significant damage on the descending brood worms.
Unfortunately, the nest insects are endless and there are too many of them to kill them all.
As time passed, the massive magic cannons were rapidly destroyed one by one.
The total number is almost gone.
"Change targets and attack the soldiers on the city wall!"
Su Bai continued to issue instructions.
The descending swarm of nest bugs began their attack on the soldiers on the city walls.
Although a single nest bug is relatively weak in combat.
However, there were simply too many wax moths.
Like a flood, it surged and surged endlessly.
The soldiers on the city wall were completely unable to withstand the attack.
Time passed second by second.
Stormwind soldiers on the city walls were killed in large numbers by the swarm of brood.
"The Nesting Insect Lord is far too powerful!"
"After three or four days, the swarm's siege has made no progress whatsoever!"
"But now, with the Brood Lord in hand, the siege is progressing at an astonishing pace!"
"The outer magical barrier, the magical cannons on the city walls, and the soldiers guarding the city walls have all been breached!"
Zhao Ganwu's eyes widened, his voice filled with excitement.
Su Bai smiled, his eyes gleaming with joy: "Break Lord, this flying siege unit will be of immense help to the swarm!"
"From now on, the strength of a swarm with a brood lord will reach a new level!"
"When faced with fortified fortresses and cities, there is no need to worry about being unable to breach them!"
Very smoothly, with almost no setbacks, the Brood Lord broke through Stormwind's outer defenses.
As the lord, Su Bai was naturally very happy.
