Chapter 1649: Chapter 529: We Are Ready to Fight to the Death
Theoretically, it could allow ordinary Transcendents to also possess the ability to confront the Insect Clan head-on and effectively avoid the damage from that toxin!
Feeling everything return to his control, General Ximu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, they are nothing but a pack of beasts, devoid of any intelligence.
Even if they succeeded in a surprise attack and gained some advantage, they couldn’t escape this reality.
Wasn’t he still able to easily stabilize the situation?
The earlier tension turned into a faint smile, but he did not relax because of it.
Even if those of the Insect Clan have no brains, their strength is for real.
Once on a Colonization Star, relying on numbers to challenge numerous Mages, they managed to kill a Fifth Tier in the hands of a Tier Six master, and that achievement is now prominently displayed on their Insect Swarm intelligence.
Especially now that it’s dragged into close-quarters combat in a closed space, while this weakens the Insect Swarm to some extent, it imposes more significant suppression on their civilization’s unique Mage system.
The Insect Swarm only lost their numerical advantage, but the Mages also lost their speed advantage and were limited in their strongest area attacks.
He immediately called up more warship monitoring and, as he expected, found that each warship had indeed fallen into a tough battle.
The Insect Clan forced their way through the Mages’ spells with their powerful bodies; in the narrow corridors of the spaceship, the Mages had no chance to leverage their mobility and were overwhelmed by the massive Insect Swarm.
They could only continuously cast spells to harass and retreat backward.
This isn’t going to work. The sudden attack left these Transcendents completely unprepared, causing some chaos even in command, and they were forced into such a dire situation by the Insect Clan.
General Ximu frowned, immediately making a judgment and turning to give more detailed orders to his subordinates around him.
"Redistribute the combat power.
Gather all the Transcendents into a few warships; do not disperse the combat power. Prioritize concentrating strength to solve the Insect Clan on certain warships!
For the warships that are too late to support, allocate half and have all Transcendents immediately abandon their ships to support others!
Have everyone find open chambers within the ships for defense; don’t waste time in narrow passageways!"
Having said that, his subordinates quickly detailed his orders, translating them into commands for each ship and each Transcendent.
His eyes were fixed on the projection, continuously flashing through the monitoring screens of one warship after another, assessing the battlefield situation.
And at that moment, another roar resounded.
Boom——
The warship quickly listed to one side. Although gravity posture was immediately readjusted, many of his subordinates around him were thrown off their positions by the shock.
Only General Ximu, unlike before where he was unprepared, quickly stabilized his position.
Turning to look towards the direction of the explosion, General Ximu frowned.
"What happened? Didn’t I already ask a few masters to act? Why hasn’t the flagship’s Insect Clan been cleared yet?
What are they even doing?"
After cursing the internal defense force of the flagship, he immediately added:
"Bring up the monitoring for that direction immediately and inquire about the situation!"
"Yes!"
The subordinates who had been flung away hurriedly responded, scrambling back to their posts, and brought up a new image on the projection in front of him.
After just a glance, General Ximu’s expression quickly turned serious.
Even with the support of several Tier Six Mages, that battlefield had not only failed to gain an advantage but was completely suppressed by the Insect Clan.
Even the Tier Six Mages were injured.
Not to mention the ordinary Transcendents and the "Anti-Insect Magic Puppets."
Yet the opponents were just the same Insect Clan as those on other warships...
At first glance, the battlefield appeared identical to those on other warships, yet it was precisely on this one that the Insect Clan gained the upper hand...
Something’s not right!
"How come these Insect Clans feel so much stronger? And their Transcendent abilities seem stronger too, almost reaching Tier Six levels!
Are these, perhaps, special individuals within the Insect Clan?
Immediately gather all defense forces there, and redirect some Transcendents from other ships back to reinforce the flagship!"
A sense of unease arose in his heart as he called up the real-time situation on other warships once more, not needing foregone conclusions, he already pinpointed the issue.
Even with more support, the battlefield within those warships was still at a disadvantage, firmly suppressed by the Insect Clan.
It was not due to sudden panic, nor a flaw in command or tactics!
The strength of those Insect Clan had changed!
Not only had their tolerance to spells increased greatly, but the power of their attacks had also surged by more than a single level.
This combat power was completely different from that of the Insect Clan encountered on the Colonization Star!
"Something is wrong, there’s an issue with this Insect Swarm!
Send a distress signal immediately, requesting reinforcements!"
General Ximu ordered decisively, acknowledging that the confidence he once had in the Insect Clan now led to a compromising call for help.
However, compared to his issue of face, he also didn’t wish to lose his life!
The current situation was clearly showing signs of spinning out of control; if he continued showing off, once it really spiraled into chaos, even wanting to call for aid would be too late.
As a general devoted to scraping wealth and cherishing his own life, such logic was something he understood clearly.
But just a few seconds later, a subordinate urgently cried out.
