Deity: Star Sea Swarm

"And behind us is a city with a population of hundreds of millions, and there are more than tens of millions of old and young women and children in it."

Hearing Varrick's explanation, Wharton's face changed slightly, and he wanted to say something.

But the words seemed to be blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

As the garrison general of a large city, Varik had already seen the battle clearly.

The enemy's strength exceeds [-] million, which is enough to surround the entire city and attack the defense line from different directions.

Chapter 169 Pressure

After saying that, Warrick turned around and walked quickly towards the frontline headquarters. He no longer planned to return to the rear command center.

The adjutant looked at the slightly bleak back of the general he had followed for many years, a look of deep worry flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly followed.

On the frontier, the killing and death still continued...

........................

Dawn is often the time when people are most tired and sleepy.

Fierce battles keep people in high spirits.

But this kind of excitement is undoubtedly a short-term state, and the physical exhaustion will not disappear directly.

The state of excitement will gradually decline with the passage of time, until the feeling of fatigue and powerlessness invades the whole body in an instant.

After fighting all night, Osem was exhausted.

He sat slumped in the ditch, and tremblingly took out a cigarette case from the pocket of his military uniform with his still cramped hands.

Finding that the cigarette case was empty, Otsem sighed heavily.

While his chest was heaving, he touched his left chest again. He had just had a simple bandaged laceration, and the pain made him gasp.

After the pain eased a little, he got up and rummaged through the pile of corpses by the wall.

He pulled out a lot of belongings, and he casually threw them on the bloody ground and rolled away.

It wasn't until he dug half a pack of cigarettes out of a dead body's pocket that Osem stopped searching for the pile of dead bodies.

I saw him sitting down among the dead, taking out a cigarette stained with blood spots and lighting it.

Looking at the gradually brightening skyline, a puff of smoke was slowly exhaled from between his chapped lips.

Then there was resentment in his eyes.

"Damn Supervising Team!"

After fighting all night at the front, he knew it clearly.

They can't defend this line of defense at all!

If the defensive line does not move back, everyone on the front line will be exhausted to death here.

He hasn't lived enough, and he doesn't want to die here meaninglessly.

But just last night, the headquarters issued a death order, and they must stick to their positions and cannot retreat.

They even dispatched a supervising team to patrol the rear of the front line, and executed those who retreated before the battle.

"Damn Varrick, and those fanatics!"

Ossem has no faith at all for the illusory creator god, except that he still maintains the most basic awe due to the influence of his growth environment.

Seeing those fanatical believers, they shouted to fight to the end, and then rushed out of the bunker.

Then he was torn to pieces and gave his life for a god who never appeared.

Osem felt sorry for these brainwashed fellows.

In fact, many of the one-eyed people who survived the night of fighting had negative and pessimistic thoughts similar to those of Osem.

There are smart people everywhere, and some people with discerning eyes can see clearly.

Those monsters clearly had absolute air superiority, but they never carried out air strikes on the city.

And the scope of the battlefield is deliberately limited to the outskirts of the city, which is not considered a wide southeast line of defense.

This means that those monsters are most likely unwilling to destroy the city.

It also means that the other party is not the kind of irrational and chaotic believer of evil gods preached by the holy religion.

The instinct of intelligent life urges them to look for all possibilities to survive when facing death.

Because of the large number of deaths of those who believed firmly, the feeling of fear of fighting continued to spread on the battlefield.

By the time the high-level officials noticed it, this dangerous momentum was already hard to contain.

In the frontline battlefield command post on the edge of the city.

"General, if this continues, the frontline troops may soon... collapse!"

"Do you think you want to let the supervisory team station in the forward position, suppress negative speech, and supervise the battle on the spot?"

The adjutant reported the immediate reports of the commanders at all levels on the front line, his face could not hide his anxiety.

Varik's eyes were slightly closed, his back was hunched, his right elbow rested on the podium, and his fingers rested on his forehead.

Just sat there in silence, without replying for a long time.

It wasn't until the siren sounded again from the front line that he suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes.

He hissed and asked: "If the fronts in other directions are completely changed and handed over to the militia to garrison, how many combat troops can be mobilized?"

"If you try your best, you can still draw close to 200 million, but..."

The adjutant seemed to want to say something more, but he stopped talking after all.

The Southeastern Front has lost its systematic fortifications, and it lacks heavy firepower weapons.

Every round of the enemy's attack will cause heavy casualties to the frontline defenders.

If you want to hold the position, you can only rely on soldiers to keep filling it with their lives.

Even if we add another 200 million troops, it won't last long.

"How did the holy city respond?"

"When will the reinforcements arrive?"

Warrick asked coldly, curling his fingers and tapping the table with his knuckles.

The adjutant gritted his teeth, forced himself to suppress his anger, and then replied:

"The reply they gave was that the mobile support force they sent before has been speeding up as much as possible, and it will be slightly faster than the original estimated time. Let us hold on for another two days!"

"Heh, Mobile Support Force, two days later..."

Varik seemed to hear the biggest joke in the world.

He stayed up all night, summing up the situation of the enemy and ourselves and the difference in troop strength in detail.

Urgently reported to the holy city, but just waited for such a reply.

What he asked was for the Holy City to quickly dispatch elite troops for emergency support.

Not those mobile support units that are fighting fires everywhere.

After all, as long as high-speed troops are dispatched directly from the Holy City to help at full speed.

You can get here in less than twenty hours.

Varik was about to say something more when he heard the sharper blast of anti-aircraft sirens again.

And, unlike in the past.

This time the air defense sirens sounded from all directions at the same time.

"What's going on? The line of defense has been breached?"

Varik stood up suddenly, and rushed out of the forward command post.

He looked up to the outside of the city, his eyes widened suddenly.

Swallowing his saliva with difficulty, he slowly turned his neck and looked around the sky.

In the cloudy eyes, the pupils continued to dilate.

Like a wave of purple, it spread from the end of the earth.

In the distant sky, the boundless billowing dark clouds approached from all directions.

The high-pitched hissing and roaring sound gradually approached from far away, and then echoed over the entire city.

The swarm of insects covering the sky completely covered the sky that had just glowed white.

It brought endless oppression and fear to everyone who saw this scene.

"Is this the real main force of the enemy?"

"The number should far exceed the scale of one billion......."

"Our reinforcements didn't come, but the opponent's follow-up troops did."

Facing this swarm of worms that can bring endless fear and despair just by taking a look at it.

Unprecedented tremendous pressure made Warrick's heart gradually slide into the abyss uncontrollably.

Chapter 170

Facing the abandonment of the holy city, the army defending the city has reached its limit.

Coupled with this doomsday scene, it became the last straw that completely crushed Varik.

He shook his head bitterly, and muttered to himself: "It's time...to surrender."

Varik trudged toward the forward command post, his legs feeling heavier than ever.

When he returned to the frontline combat headquarters, only a few tens of seconds passed.

His tired and dry voice suddenly sounded from all the siren loudspeakers along the entire defense line:

"I am Varik, High Commander of this city."

"Great existence from outside the domain, I beg you to stop attacking."

"I am willing to surrender immediately and beg for your mercy and forgiveness."

As Varik's words echoed in the battlefield.

Attached to the stinging dragonfly, Han Fei, who was always watching the battle situation, immediately heard Warrick's declaration of surrender.

There was a flash of surprise in his heart, and then it all turned into joyful emotions.

The long-term dedication finally paid off.

Han Fei, who was always focused, also heaved a sigh of relief.

God knows how much effort he spent during the attack of the insect swarm for the result of this moment.

Without the slightest hesitation, Han Fei did not hesitate to consume a lot of divine power.

Forcibly outside the city, a huge demigod projection was condensed.

Golden light spots quickly gathered in the sky, and a huge translucent phantom appeared between the sky and the earth.

The demigod projection transformed by Han Fei looked down on the city in front of him.

The grand divine sound cleansed the world and spread far away.

"I am the master of the swarm, and I accept your submission."

As the voice fell, Han Fei gently touched the line of faith connecting the swarm at the same time.

All the Zerg that were attacking this line of defense stopped attacking almost at the same time when Han Fei gave the order.

All the flying springtails that entered the battlefield, after receiving Han Fei's order, completely ignored the prey within reach.

They waved their wings and let out a sharp roar, and rushed to the sky at the same time.

Outside this large city, the massive swarm of insects that surrounded them also roared to the sky at the same time.

The terrifying sound resounded through the heaven and earth, instantly covering all the noises in this area.
