Chapter 561 - 561 Giving Power Before the Battle
561 Giving Power Before the Battle
The densely packed beetles covered the sky and the earth like a black ocean. Once they started fighting, they would be ruthless.
Along with the rumbling sound, the bug tide had already arrived at the bank of Heavenly River.
Without delay, the Ghost-Eye Patterned Spiders at the forefront of the bug tide had already rushed into the river.
However, the strange thing was that these Ghost-Eye Patterned Spiders could walk on water. Furthermore, their speed did not decrease, as if they were walking on flat ground.
The black beetles that were following behind also rushed into the river.
However, these bugs could not walk on water and they sank. Then, the black beetles in the back stepped on the bodies of the beetles in front of them and rushed into the water as if they were not afraid of death.
The beetles at the back did the same. They used the bodies of the beetles at the front as bridges and rushed into the water one by one, forcefully using their bodies to create a path in the rapid river.
The number of dead beetles was shocking, but these beetles’ bodies were like metal, hefty, and rarely could they be washed away by the river. Thus, as more and more of them piled up, they gradually formed a bridge wholly made of black beetles.
Compared to the millions of black beetles in the river, the number of beetles who made it across the river was not even worth mentioning.
What was truly terrifying was their coldness. They did not care about their lives. Just looking at it made people shudder.
“This is the terrifying thing about the bug race. They don’t care about casualties at all. They are willing to pay any price to achieve their goals.”
Ye Qiu’s voice was cold.
“Not good! A portion of these bug races has split off and is charging toward our Ice City!” Alice suddenly noticed the change in the Heavenly River and exclaimed.
Most of the bug race members who had rushed across the Heavenly River headed toward the Huge Boulder City after they came ashore. However, there were still some who were heading toward Ice City.
It was obvious that the bug race had discovered that there were many lives in the Huge Boulder City and in Ice City.
The bug race had highly acute senses. As long as they sensed the aura of life, no matter who their opponent was, they would seek to exterminate them.
Even though there were only humans and barbarians in Ice City, it was still lovely to the bug race.
Even though only a tiny portion of the bug race had been separated, they still had an overwhelming aura. Their numbers had reached millions, and a steady stream of bug race was still coming from behind. It would probably not take long for the number to exceed ten million.
The scene of such a large number of bug races was terrifying. Their momentum of sweeping, destroying, and exterminating everything would make timid people feel despair just by looking at it.
Even Li Xiang and the others could not help but feel tremendous pressure when they saw so many bug races.
“Zhao Yun, you will be in charge of defending Ice City. This time, I will be responsible for dealing with the damage and taking control of Ice City!” Li Xiang turned his head and said to Zhao Yun.
He had no intention of interfering in this battle. He was only in charge of killing and fighting and, at the same time, guarding Ice City.
Zhao Yun would not care about how the war would be carried out or how the craftsmen in the city would be deployed and commanded.
Zhao Yun was a top-notch general talent. However, Zhao Yun did not display much of it previously. However, there would be many opportunities in the Myriad Realms Continent and the Kingdom of Dawn. Therefore, it would be a pity if such a top-notch general could not display his full strength.
As a superior, Zhao Yun only needed to take charge of the overall situation and know how to use people well. Professional things naturally had to be handed over to the professionals.
As a Lord, or even a future God Lord, he had to give his subordinates enough opportunities to show their value and strength.
If he did not know how to utilize people, he did not want to be the Country Lord. He might as well guard his territory in peace and live a life of wine and meat.
A Lord who did everything personally would not allow his subjects to have a chance to perform and develop. Such a Lord would not receive the loyalty of his subjects and might even attract resentment.
There was a limit to a person’s power. If he handed the specific things to the professionals, he would have more time to think, understand, and improve. Moreover, it was enough as long as he controlled the general direction.
As long as he had the corresponding talents in his hands, he would not waste his time and effort doing things he was not good at.
What he should consider was how to maximize the benefits.
To know a person and be responsible was not just talk. Actions were needed to give the subordinates a stage and opportunity to show their talents and shine. Only in this way could those great talents feel that their value and ability were not wasted.
“Yes, Country Lord!”
Zhao Yun’s heart was filled with excitement and respect.
This was an intelligent army. Fighting the bug race was the opportunity Zhao Yun wanted the most.
Only by personally experiencing the many battles between enemies would Zhao Yun feel the value of his existence.
The most important thing was that Zhao Yun could feel Li Xiang’s respect and generosity.
“Go! All the soldiers in the city will listen to your command!”
“Yes!”
Then, Zhao Yun began to mobilize the army and arrange the formation. After setting the army on the city wall, Zhao Yun invited the Barbarian race to help defend.
Niu Ben grinned and said, “Don’t worry. This time, my Barbarian tribe will follow you. We’ll fight as you say. We might not be good at other things, but we will do our best in fighting!”
His words revealed a strong self-confidence.
The Barbarian race was born to fight. They grew up in battle after battle, and their bodies were muscular and courageous.
In the past few days in Ice City, they felt like they had come to heaven. They ate well, had fun, and got along well with the human warriors.
When they had nothing to do, they would chat and brag, talking about all kinds of things they had seen and encountered in the Myriad World Continent. After learning that the human race had grown from such a problematic situation to their current level, the straightforward Barbarian race revealed their admiration for them.
The human race had been able to walk out of such a problematic situation and reach this point. Yet, they might not have the confidence to do so if it were them.
The admiration in Niu Ben’s heart was evident from how he became particularly close to the human race.
Moreover, there was almost no difference between the human race and the Barbarian race regarding appearance. The only difference was their body shapes.
The similarities in appearences and living habits naturally made the two races closer.
The food and drinks here were good, and the various human delicacies aligned with their eating habits and tastes. They were too happy to think about home.
Now that they were fighting side by side, there was no sense of strangeness. Instead, they seemed very familiar with each other. This way, they could quickly reach a tacit understanding in the battle.
