Chapter 1623 1624: Reaction

Cressy suddenly felt a familiar sound of flapping wings behind him, and subconsciously glanced at the mantis at the center of the encirclement.

"Still surrounded!"

Cressy woke up with a start. There was a third mantis.

Just when he was about to issue a reminder, he felt a pain in his abdomen. He lowered his head subconsciously. His lower body had already flown more than ten meters, and he was cut in half.

Looking up at the surroundings, a dozen even larger mantises rushed out from nowhere and were killing people in the town.

"How is this possible?" Cressy's eyes slowly blurred, and then completely fell into darkness.

The mantis's killing feast begins. Those three-meter-tall mantises, like the god of death, wreaked havoc in the town, making the residents feel unprecedented despair and fear.

The attacks of these mantises are extremely cruel and ferocious. They shuttled through every corner of the town at extremely fast speeds, cutting and tearing everything with their sharp blades. The flesh and blood of the residents scattered like pieces being torn apart by sharp blades.

In this hell-like town, screams and cries occurred one after another. Residents ran in all directions, trying to escape the terrifying mantises. However, they discovered that no matter where they ran, they could not escape these ferocious creatures.

When the infantry regiment of the August Empire arrived at the town, they only saw a town that had been slaughtered.

The whole town has turned into a hell on earth, with broken limbs and corpses everywhere on the streets, and the whole town is dyed red with blood.

The soldiers of the infantry regiment looked at what they saw in shock. They could not imagine such a tragedy in the empire.

They searched the town for possible survivors, but found not a single intact body.

These mantises not only slaughtered all the residents of the town, but they didn't even leave intact corpses.

This makes it impossible to determine who the victims were and to lay them to rest.

However, some among the members of these infantry regiments saw hope. They noticed that some of the severed arms and thighs still had some metal pieces left on them, which were protective gears that humans once wore.

These pieces of metal convinced them that although the town had suffered huge losses, they had not yet completely failed. Because these metal pieces prove that humans have resisted, and they still have a chance to eliminate these ferocious mantises.

The infantry regiment of the August Empire began to search for clues in the town, looking for traces of these praying mantises. The soldiers of the infantry regiment are working hard to destroy these hateful monsters and avenge the people of the town.

After massacring the town, these mantises took only half a day to fly to a more prosperous town hundreds of miles away.

Caron Town is larger, more prosperous, and more populous than the previous town.

Late at night, the mantises effortlessly broke through the defense system of Caron Town and began a new round of massacre.

Caron Town has a hundred-man army and dozens of professionals. Although they had tried using magic and grenades to eliminate the mantises, these weapons had no effect on the flying mantises.

The town of Caron also suffered the same fate as the previous town. In just a few hours, the entire town was in ruins. The streets were littered with broken limbs, and the whole town was stained red with blood.

But this time, the people of Caron Town were much tougher than the original town and successfully killed a mantis.

After the destruction of Caron Town, Team Mantis quickly evacuated without leaving any trace. When the troops of the August Empire arrived, they had flown thousands of kilometers away and headed for the small mountain town in the distance.

This time, their target was a small city hidden in a valley. It was said that the population here was more than 20,000. For the Mantis team, it is not an easy task to destroy this small city. Even though they have powerful attack and destructive power, they still feel powerless when facing such a huge crowd.

The only way to do this is to summon an army of crawlers, whose numbers allow the Mantis Squad to destroy any enemy with ease. However, summoning them also takes time and skill, so they need to find a suitable spot to cast the spell.

During the flight, they kept looking for the right place. Finally, they discovered a col in a remote valley. , the Mantis team found that this mountain col was a very suitable place to summon the reptile army.

They landed quickly and began preparing for the summoning ceremony. After a long wait, the reptile army finally appeared. They surged out from the ground and headed towards the small town. The Mantis team is very excited, they know that these reptilian hordes will bring them victory.

However, what they did not expect was that there was a magic tower behind this small town, and a magician settled here. This magician discovered the traces of the reptiles in advance and used large-scale magic strikes, causing huge casualties to the reptiles.

After receiving the order from the Magister, the people in the city were ready to use various defensive methods to resist the attack of these monsters. Although the reptile army is numerous, the defense of this small city is also very strong. In the fierce fighting, neither side gained any advantage.

Eventually, Team Mantis had to admit defeat and evacuate quickly. The small city also survived, but this battle also made people realize that these mysterious mantises did not evolve from monsters, but a group of organized and intelligent creatures that would continue to threaten the security of the entire empire. Action must be taken to stop their attack.

Emperor Blix was shocked when news of the mantis summoning the reptiles reached the capital of the Ancient Empire. He originally thought that the emergence of the mantis was just a matter of monster evolution, but when he heard about the emergence of the Zerg's iconic unit, the reptilian, he finally realized the seriousness of the matter, which involved a major issue of life and death for the entire country and its people.

Emperor Blix immediately convened the Supreme Military Council and informed the marshals and generals of the situation.

Although they had made some preparations for the Zerg's landing, the main battlefield was not in the south. When they heard the huge number of reptiles and the power of the mantis, they all felt unprecedented pressure.

At the meeting, Emperor Blix clearly stated: "We must take immediate action, otherwise the empire will face catastrophe. The fate of the two principalities on the Yadong subcontinent should be clear to you. We must gather all our forces to Annihilate these Zerg wandering in the empire’s territory as quickly as possible.”
