Chapter 1649 1650: First Battle

After a heated discussion at the joint war meeting, it was finally decided that Aslan would be the commander-in-chief of the first battle. This is also the best choice made after many parties.

First of all, Aslan's identity and command experience are among the best in the Holy United Continent. Not only does he have a profound background and high reputation, he has also demonstrated outstanding commanding talents in past battles.

Whether in the Elf Clan or the Dragon Clan, Aslan has extremely high prestige and influence, which makes him very popular throughout the continent.

The three countries on the outer continent are not willing to let the three countries on the central continent serve as commanders. In their view, the strength and influence of the countries in the central continent are far inferior to them, and having the central continent serve as the commander may affect the victory of the war. Likewise, the central continent would not agree to have an outside continent serve as commander. In this case, the elves and dragons played a key role.

The elves and dragons have always maintained close ties and cooperation with Aslan. They were well aware of Aslan's talents and leadership abilities, so they favored Aslan and actively supported him as Commander-in-Chief.

With the guarantee of the two races, the countries in the central continent agreed to let Aslan serve as the commander-in-chief.

A few months later, five huge insect nests comparable to planets appeared outside the borders of the plane continent. These hives are so large that they appear so impressive in the sky that they are impossible to ignore.

When the defenders on the plane continent saw these five huge insect nests, they couldn't help but breathe quickly. The enemy they face is more powerful than they imagined, and such an enemy makes them feel stressed.

The insect nest began to release a large number of insect creatures, and they swarmed into the plane continent like locusts. The defenders began to nervously arrange their defense lines, preparing to face these large numbers of enemies.

Aslan stood on the high tower, overlooking these huge insect nests. He knew in his heart that this war would be extremely difficult, but he must lead the coalition to victory.

He took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly: "Soldiers, get ready for battle! We must use courage and wisdom to completely wipe out these Zerg races!"

Aslan's words gave the defenders a sense of excitement, and they all puffed up their chests, preparing to face this severe challenge.

"According to the planned battle plan!" Aslan turned off the microphone and said to the representatives of the countries behind him: "The first wave of attacks is a tentative attack, so don't scare the Zerg."

"yes!"

In less than half an hour after the insect nest appeared on the plane continent, they launched a fierce attack.

Twenty huge meteorites were shot out from the inside of the insect nest and hit the plane continent. These meteorites look like ordinary stones, but in fact they are transportation vehicles carefully manufactured by the Zerg, used to drop large numbers of Zerg troops onto the plane continent.

These meteorites are huge in size, each thousands of meters long, and their surfaces are covered with strange lines and runes. These lines and runes were set up by the Zerg to protect themselves and could resist magic and attacks on the plane continent. At the same time, these meteorites also have complete living systems and life-support devices inside, allowing the Zerg to survive after reaching the target location.

When these meteorites approached the plane continent, they quickly opened the internal exit, and thousands of Zerg troops poured out from inside, spreading in all directions of the continent. These Zerg troops move quickly and have a clear division of labor. Some are responsible for occupying strategic locations, some are responsible for destroying enemy facilities and troops, and some are responsible for finding and plundering resources.

Faced with this tentative attack by the Zerg, the defenders of the plane continent responded quickly. They quickly gathered together, organized a strict defense system, and tried their best to resist the Zerg attack. Although the Zerg troops were large in number, the defenders relied on their tenacious perseverance and superb tactical literacy to successfully resist the Zerg attack.

In this battle, the plane defenders did not use heavy firepower. They only used the artillery equipped by each unit, and the maximum caliber did not exceed 120mm. However, after years of development, the armies of various countries have unified standards, and artillery has become the main long-range support firepower.

At a place where a meteorite fell, the three infantry divisions that were hit from the front were all wiped out, and nearly fifty infantry divisions quickly gathered around them. The artillery equipment of each infantry division poured artillery shells in the direction of the meteorite. Under the cover of artillery, cannon fodder units such as springtails died on a large scale, nipping the worm tide tactics that the Zerg were proud of in the bud.

With the volley of artillery fire, the springtails fell into a pool of blood. These cannon fodder units are particularly vulnerable under the cover of artillery, and their numbers decrease rapidly, making the Zerg attack less violent.

Of the 500,000 Zerg army, springtails account for three-fifths, followed by hydralisks for one-fifth, followed by other Zerg combinations. Obviously, after Instil sent the information, the Zerg did not evolve immediately. Create Zerg that adapt to the new battlefield.

Hydralisks are one of the most ferocious and dangerous creatures among the Zerg. The carapace-type armor on the upper part of the Hydralisk can open and shoot out hundreds of spikes. These spikes can pierce a 5 cm thick steel plate. The overall combat effectiveness is rated at around level five. Fortunately, they move slowly over open terrain.

Unlike the Instil Zerg's Hydralisks, these new Hydralisks have a huge armor on their chests that can easily block rifle bullets.

The emergence of Hydralisks caused huge casualties to the infantry, but they were immediately overwhelmed by artillery fire. Except for the insect armor on the front that could withstand rifle bullets, the overall defense was not much stronger than the pre-evolved Hydralisks.

As for the insect species, they were quickly wiped out under the massive offensive.

The victory in the first battle caused the five insect nests outside the plane continent to fall into a brief silence, and there was no movement for a long time. When Aslan saw this, his expression suddenly became serious. He knew in his heart that this level of attack had frightened the Zerg, but it had not yet reached the point where they would completely retreat.

Although the five insect emperors were shocked, they were not frightened. They are well aware of the strength and potential of the Zerg, as well as their advantages and disadvantages in war. Therefore, they did not give up their plans to attack, but were thinking about how to adjust their strategies to obtain the greatest victory at the least cost.

After all, they had used the insect sea tactic to drown the enemy in the past, but this was the first time that the enemy had used the human sea tactic to defeat them.

Especially under the attack of artillery, their insect swarm tactics are completely vulnerable. This is no better than the forbidden spell magic. It takes time to condense and restore the magic power, which seems to be endless.
