"Eat breakfast!"
Su Bai strolled leisurely into the manor and took out a Fuji apple.
It sat atop the young Thunder Beast's head and took a big bite.
Just then, lines of system information popped up in front of me.
[Announcement: The fifth large-scale attack is about to begin!]
[Announcement: Attention all lords! The fifth wave of attacks you are facing will see a significant increase in the number of infected creatures!]
"Without a special infected creature like the Red Dragon, the final wave of attacks should be relatively easy to deal with."
Su Bai raised his head and looked into the distance.
At the horizon, swarms of infected creatures emerged.
The types are the same as last time.
Infected human civilians, kobolds, goblins, orcs, elves, as well as giants and dwarves.
"etc!"
Something seems off!
"Why are the infected army crammed together, rushing forward with almost no space between them?"
Su Bai stood up, and with a thought, connected with the King Insect's gaze in mid-air.
The perspective shifts to the air, looking down and extending to a greater distance.
The infected surged like a tide, converging from all directions, causing the earth to tremble slightly.
It's like a boundless black sea, with no end in sight.
The total number is more than a hundred times greater than the previous large-scale attack.
The system's cold, synthesized voice suddenly rang out.
[Notification: Lord Su Bai, your Lord's Mark has been detected. It is of the highest quality, the Supreme Mythic. The current infection crisis has been upgraded to Hell difficulty!]
[Hint: The fifth large-scale attack has 100 times the number of infected as the previous four attacks combined!]
[Warning: This attack involves 100 million infected creatures attacking your territory!]
[Note: The level range of infected creatures is between level 10 and 20; their quality range is between common and excellent!]
"Hell difficulty, 100 million infected..."
Su Bai stared in disbelief, unable to help but gasp.
With a bang.
The apple slipped from my hand and fell to the ground.
It was pounced on by a springtail and swallowed whole.
"A doubling, that's a hundred times the total of the previous four rounds? I'm speechless..."
Su Bai's face tensed, and his fists clenched unconsciously.
Two days ago, there were four large-scale attacks, but the total number of infected organisms was only one million.
Today, it increased a hundredfold, becoming 100 million!
This is outrageous!
Must the most supreme Mythic characters receive this kind of treatment?
The swarm of insects numbered only about 50,000.
It's easy to defeat a million infected.
We still have the strength to fight against ten million infected individuals.
But what they faced was a hundred million infected individuals.
To defeat them would be as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
In other words, in the upcoming battle, each insect soldier needs to kill 2,000 infected creatures to achieve final victory.
"I never imagined that the fifth large-scale attack would be so difficult!"
"What follows will be a bloody battle, a battle to the death!"
"Can the swarm hold out against an invasion of 100 million infected organisms?"
Su Bai's expression darkened slightly, his eyes filled with seriousness.
In the blink of an eye.
A great war broke out.
One after another, fiery shells launched the first bombardment.
Tens of thousands of infected creatures were instantly blown to pieces.
An area 1,500 meters away from the territory was reduced to a sea of fire.
However, the number of infected organisms was simply too great.
Even if tens of thousands die, it will have absolutely no impact.
They were so densely packed together that they quickly extinguished any flames that were lit.
The second line of defense consists of highly toxic nests and lurking infiltrators.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Forty-eight highly venomous nests exploded, killing all the infected creatures charging at the front.
Furthermore, the infected creatures in the back rows were affected, and their movement speed immediately slowed down.
Although there are only ten Lurkers, they can deal area damage to all enemies within a 600-meter firing line.
The sharp spikes pierce the earth's surface with such force that they can even cause localized earthquakes.
Infected creatures are all light units with weak defenses and slowed speed. They huddle together in groups, making the Lurkers' killing efficiency terrifying.
In a short time, tens of thousands of infected individuals whose speed had been damaged all died.
Last night, these ten lurkers reached level 12.
Now he's dominating the battlefield, leveling up at a rocket-like speed.
The infiltrators continue to exert their influence.
The infected organisms that were in front of them caused significant casualties.
However, while infiltrators are a powerful weapon against the enemy, their numbers are ultimately too few.
The resulting firepower network has too many loopholes.
The overwhelming swarms of infected creatures breached the second line of defense.
The third line of defense consists of hydralisks and cockroaches.
They are located 300 meters away from the territory, forming a ring-shaped defensive perimeter.
It fires armor-piercing bone needles and acidic saliva, causing massive damage to enemies.
The third line of defense is the last line of long-range blocking.
It is also the most powerful line of defense.
Twenty minutes later.
Nearly a million infected creatures have died from attacks by piercing bone needles and acidic saliva.
However, due to the continuous high-intensity firing, the attack frequency of hydras and roaches has slowed down.
The infected creatures, however, remain endless, rushing in from all directions.
"That's only killed a little over a million infected creatures."
"And their total number is as high as one hundred million."
"When exactly will we be able to kill them all?"
"Can the swarm of insects really withstand the attack of the infected?"
Su Bai clenched his fists, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.
The infected creatures, like a boundless black sea, rapidly approached the territory.
The cockroaches in the front row are less than 100 meters away.
"Exploding bugs, charge out!" Su Bai shouted.
6,762 exploding insects rolled forward, forming a green wave that passed over springtails, hydralisks, and cockroaches before crashing headlong into the black sea.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The acid sac expands rapidly.
The sounds of explosions rose and fell, echoing throughout the entire world.
Shockwaves, carrying green acid, swept outwards.
It completely corrodes the flesh and bones of the infected organism.
Due to the large number of infected individuals and their densely packed positions.
This attack by the insect swarm resulted in extremely brilliant achievements.
Nearly three million infected individuals were blown to smithereens.
In an instant, the area a kilometer in front of the territory became empty.
However, the infected population still numbers over 95 million.
Undeterred by death, they continued their charge forward.
"When the battle gets close and close combat breaks out, the Zerg swarm will definitely suffer heavy casualties."
Su Bai frowned, his eyes showing not only a hint of seriousness but also a hint of worry.
Ten minutes later.
The infected army paid a price of one million deaths to rush into an area 400 meters outside the territory.
