Chapter 2900: Opportunity
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
To Kenno’s surprise, the mutant worm body was extremely ferocious in battle, immediately charging toward the nearby mutant worm creatures and launching a fierce attack!
Kenno suddenly noticed that the distant mutant worm formation, which had been set up for long-range attacks, was thrown into chaos.
Now was the perfect opportunity to attack!
However...
These mutant worms were strange, and he had received orders to hold the position.
"Report! Captain, we’ve spotted high-tier war machines from the spawns approaching from the rear."
Kenno, puzzled, heard his subordinate report and immediately turned around to look.
In the distance, six V-70 war machines were slowly advancing toward the defensive lines they had set up.
What’s going on?
V-70?
Were they here to reinforce them? He hadn’t heard anything about that.
Kenno raised his binoculars again to observe the six V-70 war machines, frowning repeatedly.
What a surprise.
The V-70 wasn’t suitable for solo combat, and it was expensive; usually, it was used in coordination with a whole team for battle.
But none of these V-70 machines had a single soldier accompanying them for protection?
Upon closer inspection, he saw that one of the V-70s had a young man sitting on its shoulder.
Fang Heng?
Yes, that’s right, it was Fang Heng!
Kenno remembered that during the last supply delivery, it was Fang Heng who made him sign the receipt.
So these V-70 war machines were supplies he had delivered? This was how they were delivered?
But what was up with these mutant worms?
Kenno’s mind was full of questions. He dared not make any rash moves, especially in the nighttime environment, where it was easy to be ambushed by the swarm of insects. He simply directed his subordinates to continue scattering their surveillance and carrying out long-range attacks to reduce the number of mutant worms within a certain range.
After some time, the six large spawn war machines rapidly reached the battlefield.
Just as Kenno was about to approach and inquire, he realized that the large spawn war machines showed no signs of stopping, instead heading straight for the battlefield area!
They continued advancing until they stepped onto the creep zone.
"Buzz... Buzz..."
Kenno suddenly realized that the ground beneath his feet was vibrating.
This vibration wasn’t solely caused by the movement of the large spawn war machines.
Turning his head, he saw that even more Lickers were emerging from the battlefield through the gaps in the creep zone!
The insect swarm split into two groups: one heading toward the large spawn war machines, surrounding and protecting them, while the remaining Lickers rushed toward the mutant worm lines, launching a brutal assault!
Under the protection of the insect swarm, the six spawn war machines became like moving fortresses, slowly bypassing the defensive lines set by the Federation soldiers and gradually advancing deeper into the creep zone.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"
Upon entering the light beam range, focused beams of light shot out from the central cannons of the V-70 war machines, locking onto a D-level insect nest.
"Boom!!!"
The focused attack lasted no more than 10 seconds, and the entire D-level insect nest mother body was blown apart in front of the Federation elites.
The V-70 continued searching for the next target.
Every Plague Mother and insect nest in the area that stood in their way exploded under the focused light beams.
The Lickers surged into the mutant worm swarm, slaughtering indiscriminately to clear a path for the V-70 war machines.
Kenno watched in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.
A Federation counterattack?
But he hadn’t received any prior notice!
The six V-70 war machines continued to advance into the insect nest, moving slowly but steadily.
Due to the overwhelming number of insect swarms, the Lickers alone couldn’t effectively clear the area, and their forward movement was quickly slowed.
Kenno frowned deeply.
It was the perfect time to attack!
If he went now, he could assist Fang Heng’s team in pushing forward more effectively.
However...
The risk was too great.
But the orders from his superiors were to hold the position!
And ahead of them was a B-level insect nest. Once they ventured deeper into the creep zone, a continuous wave of insect swarms would come from all directions, and they could very well be surrounded by the enemy!
"Report to the command post immediately, hurry!"
"Yes!" Kenno waved to his team. "Prepare for battle!"
"Understood!"
In just five minutes, Fang Heng and his insect swarm and spawn machines had advanced several hundred meters into the dangerous zone of the insect nest!
Fang Heng noticed the defensive lines set by the Federation team in the rear but gave it little thought.
After all, it was all about grinding.
Having the Federation’s help didn’t make much of a difference.
[Hint: The player’s zombie clone (vine form) has completed the construction of the Prism Defense Tower.]
[Hint: The player’s mission – Local prism mutant worm purification network, Tier 1 stage completed. Please proceed with Tier 2 of the mission.]
[Hint: Completing the mission early will earn additional rewards (personal honor and merit rewards).]
Fang Heng’s eyes brightened upon seeing the game prompt.
So soon?
He had completed the task more than three hours ahead of schedule.
Not only that, but completing the mission early would also grant him extra rewards.
Nice!
Better hurry back and complete the second stage.
Moreover, after a day of consumption, the V-70’s energy reserves were running low.
Since that’s the case...
Might as well grind out another wave before heading back!
Fang Heng raised his hands, gathering energy in front of him.
Whoosh!
The Book of the Dead appeared in front of him.
After reaching the God-level threshold, necromancy fused with blood power.
Previously, after attaining God-level necromancy, Fang Heng had learned some demigod-level high-tier spells from the Undead Council, ancient beings that had lived for thousands of years.
All these spells consumed immense mental strength and had long cooldown times.
Most of them were area-effect spells.
They required a significant amount of mental strength.
With the fusion of God-level necromancy and blood form enhancements, the form of his undead skills had undergone special changes.
A dark red ripple of blood energy mixed with the power of the undead gathered around Fang Heng.
Secret technique*Blood Swamp.
His mental strength quickly gathered, rapidly condensing and injecting into the levitating Book of the Dead before him.
Not far behind Fang Heng, Kenno and the Federation soldiers, who had been holding their defensive line, watched as the six V-70 war machines, trapped in the creep, were surrounded by the insect swarm!
The number of mutant worms was terrifying!
Fang Heng’s summoned creatures and war machines were indeed powerful, but they couldn’t clear the insect swarm quickly, and their forward momentum was soon halted.
Were they trapped?
Kenno signaled his subordinates to move forward past the defensive line, slowly getting closer while maintaining safety and trying to help clear the insect swarm that had gathered around Fang Heng’s rear.
Huh?
What’s that?
Suddenly, Kenno sensed an unusual, cold aura.
The aura was coming from Fang Heng!
At this moment, the battlefield was filled with an overwhelming stench, and Kenno couldn’t tell exactly what kind of aura Fang Heng was using, but he could feel a tremendous surge of power emanating from the front!
Fang Heng’s eyes glowed with two blood-red lights.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Blood and severed limbs slowly gathered on the ground covered by the creep, forming slow-moving blood-colored vortexes!
