Just 20,000 meters ahead of the myriad races, several Zerg units stood ready.
Furthermore, they are distributed in layers, resembling a series of interception nets.
At this point, the Zerg's objective was no longer to kill all races or humans.
Their primary objective is to do everything they can to delay the inevitable.
On the human side, as the spore fog grew thicker, the most terrifying thing that had taken root in the hearts of some people finally happened.
When the high-end combat forces at the forefront issued an alert, all of humanity stopped in their tracks and assumed a defensive stance.
"hiss!"
The next second, the Queen's Guard, who teleported directly in front of the human troops, brandished their scythes. Unlike ordinary Zerglings, the Queen's Guard, like the Overlord's Blade, has its genes uploaded to the gene pool and enjoys priority access to more resources.
Accumulated combat experience and the ability to choose a preferred evolutionary path based on one's own circumstances...
Unfortunately, the first Queen's Guard to emerge were Zerglings evolved from Breakers. Their massive scythes instantly reaped dozens of lives. Following closely behind were the Overlord Blades, which quickly expanded their gains and searched for other opportunities.
Jiang Wang deployed nearly 500 million Zerg and almost half of the Overlord's Blade to intercept and deter these humans.
Based on his understanding of human nature, he knew that either one would explode from repression, or one would die from it.
Now that these people are able to step onto the fungal carpet again, it's no longer something that can be solved by simply making empty promises.
These people must have realized that if they don't capture Jiang Wang, they will remain on this land forever.
So they set foot on this land once again.
Unlike the higher-ups who were vying for the blessing and advancing to the later stages of the competition, most people's only requirement had become simply to stay alive.
So as long as they know that they can survive if they don't attack the hive, but will surely die if they do, humanity can perish in silence instead of erupting into violence.
By understanding this psychology, Jiang Wang can use a very small number of troops to delay humanity as much as possible.
As the Zerg's strongest forces swiftly slaughtered ordinary soldiers and even powerful mid-to-high-level warriors, many people assumed that the Zerg had launched another large-scale offensive, leading to small-scale disturbances.
Under Ana's guidance, each Zerg player maximized their strengths to instill the greatest fear in humanity.
Meanwhile, the high-end combat forces on the other side were dealing with the sneak attacks from the giant mouth while also acting as firefighters, putting out fires everywhere.
They now even suspect that someone may have leaked their lineup or information.
Otherwise, why do new weaknesses always appear in various places during each attack or encirclement of Jiang Wang? Even updating or changing the formation is of no use.
The reason is actually very simple, just two words: human nature.
War is never just about frontal combat; it also involves surprise attacks, reconnaissance, information warfare, and even psychological warfare...
For Jiang Wang, these things had become commonplace.
When he devised a series of tactics such as tunnel warfare, escape from danger, and borrowing arrows with straw boats because the Zerg were not strong enough, Jiang Wang had already gained a relatively deep understanding of human nature through his own experiences and observations.
"Whoosh!"
As a Dominator's Blade's head was smashed open by a Martial Arts Lord, its remaining scythe pierced the Lord's heart from behind!
The martial arts lord's eyes widened in disbelief; he never imagined he would die at the hands of insects in this way!
This scene stunned Anna. Logically speaking, even if the martial arts lord, a silver-level ninth-tier expert, was careless and attacked from behind by the jumping insect, he shouldn't have been able to kill 9999 with a single strike.
But that's just how it is. All I can say is that lucky people will live forever, while unlucky people will suffer a terrible fate.
This not only triggered the true damage and critical strike of the Dominator's Blade, but also triggered the 8x critical strike rate of the Blessing!
This scene deeply moved the people around them...
Soon, the 500 million Zerg faced a human population of 1.6 billion, and only 100 million remained...
But everyone was speechless when they saw the corpses of humans and Zerg mixed together.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"
As the heavy artillery fired its final wave, the surrounding spores turned a deep purple, becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back for ordinary people.
The 1.6 billion people began to scatter. At first, a small number of people on the very periphery were quickly killed by high-end combat forces, and then people in other locations followed suit. Gradually, the great rout broke out in full force.
...
The myriad races have already clashed with the Zerg.
There are no frills or embellishments.
They get straight to work when they meet.
The Thunder Beast roared, wanting to crush everything that stood in its way of the Zerg.
But the myriad races and strange beasts were not to be outdone.
Their massive bodies collided like two giant mountains.
The enormous sound and the shockwave nearly killed any creatures that were nearby.
But in the end, the Thunder Beast, having sacrificed one of its fangs, roared and announced its victory to everyone.
This scene is still playing out in various parts of the battlefield.
However, the myriad races ultimately held a numerical advantage. In order to maximize the preservation of their forces, Jiang Wang did not deploy many Zerg in each interception network, and would also withdraw as many troops as possible in the event of an irreversible defeat.
Jiang Wang looked serious as he saw that there were less than two hours left to exchange for core materials.
Because he clearly wrote down the time when he obtained the core, even if others couldn't see the core, they could still deduce a precise time. The closer it got to zero, the more restless those strongest individuals would become.
The Lion King was thoroughly annoyed by this.
"roar!"
With the roar of the Lion King, the original three huge teams gradually dispersed into six teams, with each team consisting of 500 million members.
Three teams in front, three teams behind, like a flock of geese in flight.
Soon, the myriad races encountered the Zerg's interception again. However, this time, unlike the last time, the three myriad race teams that led the way crashed directly into them, while the three teams behind them used the cover of the front to tear open three rifts.
Although only two teams ultimately managed to evade the interception, it was still much faster than before.
Before the new problems among the myriad races could be resolved, new troubles arose among the humans.
Seeing that ordinary soldiers were no match for the high-ranking combatants, the high-level officers had no choice but to lead mid- to high-ranking personnel directly to attack the insect hive.
The Zerg, originally intended to intercept humans, were almost entirely wiped out in the initial deterrence operation.
Inside the insect hive, Alice grabbed the spear beside her and headed out of the hive.
What are you doing?
Alice remained silent, her eyes fixed on the human warband rapidly approaching the Zerg hive on the virtual screen.
"Then you don't need to go."
After saying that, Jiang Wang turned his head away, muttering to himself.
"What era are we living in? Still trying to pull off one-on-one fights..."
With Jiang Wang's rapid inventory and team composition, a Zerg force specifically designed to counter human warbands was born.
