Chapter 209 This Road Is Impassable
Lu Yao was inspired by the Black Water Strider Invasion.
There is nothing wrong with [The Whistleblower]'s strategy, which is to use specific species with super-reproductive power to have a devastating impact on the entire world's ecological chain.
It's just that Lu Yao developed too far ahead of his time, causing the Black Water Strider to become a new economic species soon after its appearance.
This time, the insects chosen by Lu Yao were locusts, targeting the rear grain areas of the Fifth Fearless Empire.
He first put the locusts into the experimental area.
A relatively mature and stable ecological chain has been formed here. Predators include white tits and flaming birds. There are fighting stag beetles and monster weeds on the ground. Two kinds of swallowtail butterflies act as ambassadors for the spread of plants. On the trees is the world of squirrels. .
Plus, with Pinkman in charge, the ecological structure can be adjusted at any time.
After being busy for a while, Lu Yao named a new extraordinary species.
…
【Green Locust LV1】
Health: 7/7
Mana: 1/1
Damage: 2
Defense: 1
Speed: 7
【endurance】
…
【social】
When gathered together, they will produce stronger combat effectiveness. The greater the number, the greater the increase.
…
Then, he opened the golden field and further transformed it.
Lu Yao clicked on the Tree of Silvanus, and the creation diagram of the Tree of Creation appeared again.
He selected the species [Green Locust] and the prop [Whale Beard].
After being fused with the fire props, the locust became slightly larger, its health and faceplate were slightly increased, and it had some fine white patterns on its body.
Abilities that can be granted include.
Positive abilities: [Rapid Reproduction], [Dive], [Bleeding] and [Camouflage].
Negative abilities: [Gluttony], [Crazy], [Seasonal Death].
Lu Yao chose two abilities, one positive and one negative.
…
[Rapid Reproduction]: Can reproduce the next generation at an extremely fast rate.
…
[Gluttony]: Irresistible desire to eat, consuming large amounts of food at one time.
…
These two abilities are most suitable for locusts. Together with the two initial characteristics of endurance and gregariousness, they perfectly fit the position of guerrillas behind enemy lines.
Lu Yao named it [Bully Locust].
emulator display.
[Please select the world where you want to release this species. 】
This time, in addition to the unnamed fragmented world, the options include the Kingdom of Uzi.
Lu Yao chose the latter.
Most of the areas in the Uji Kingdom are made of sand and gravel, and ground vegetation is sparse. The Uji people do not grow food and do not rely on food. They themselves are a special kind of elemental creatures, and their food is also underground black elements and other ores.
Therefore, locusts released here have no impact on them.
Moreover, there are not many edible plants here, so once the bully locusts complete their initial reproduction, their next step will inevitably be to migrate towards the Fearless Empire, which has a lot of farmland.
Lu Yao observed the movements of the Fearless Empire and waited patiently.
At this time, he noticed that the imperial army began to make big moves.
On the ground, one legion after another advanced further towards the hinterland of the Wuji Kingdom. The ability to advance so accurately was due to the surrender of the Wuji people, who acted as the guide at this time.
The captured Uzi soldiers had a different fate. They were tied up and walked at the front as cannon fodder and human shields.
This makes the Uji people's defense and counterattack even more constrained.
The Imperial side was full of momentum.
The leading officers and generals issued declarations of conquerors along the way.
"The duty of the weak is to surrender. To resist the empire is to seek death!"
"The fearless empire is invincible. You underground bugs are just untouchables like mules and horses. You actually want to stop the empire's advance?"
"The empire has not killed you so far. This is the mercy of His Majesty the Emperor. As long as you believe in Lord Bo and offer your faith and loyalty, you will be saved and you can become glorious citizens of the empire!"
"The backward and barbaric civilization must be cleansed and evolved under the glory of the empire."
"It is our mission and responsibility to transform you, and it is your obligation to accept the transformation."
"Everything is for the faith and glory of God!"
…
The Uji people who led the way to surrender were also speaking in sign language and on stone tablets, which were engraved with their words of persuasion to surrender.
"Brothers, both you and we are loyal to this land in our hearts, but our choices are different."
"If the war continues, more people will die, and everything is meaningless. First there were the people of Wuji, then the King of Wuji, and then there was the Kingdom of Wuji."
"We must admit that Wuji is a backward and inferior race that cannot smelt, plant, write, sing or dance, and its body is as heavy as a tombstone. This is the original sin of our ignorance and shame."
"Only by embracing the empire can we be given true civilization!"
"Brothers, don't be deceived by King Wuji anymore. What the empire initiates is not war, but liberation!"
“The future of the Uzi people lies in the empire.”
…
Lu Yao watched with cold eyes.
The Fearless Empire does have a good understanding of war.
From physical attacks to mental attacks, annihilating active forces and creating internal conflicts, it seems that these methods have been used frequently in the past.
…
Facing the enemy's heavy offensives, the Kingdom of Wuji was a little tired of dealing with it.
The end result is that they can only continue to retreat and give up large areas of land.
Although the Wuji people came underground, they also built stone mountains on the ground, which further expanded and extended the space, and also showed the Wuji people's obsession with space.
The stone mountains were destroyed one by one, forcing them to shrink back underground.
Soon, the imperial army attacked from all directions and came to the last fortress on the ground of the Wuji Kingdom - this is also where Isabel visited King Wuji.
It is called a fortress, but in fact, there are conical mountains piled up on the ground.
The conical mountains are called ground arches by the Wuji people. There are closable stone caves outside the ground arches, which allow the Wuji people to move on the ground. There are passages inside the mountains, and boats can be docked inside.
This is also the only city in the Wuji Kingdom, called [Wuda], which is where the Wuji people arrived.
Looking down from the air, Wuda is like a continuous mountain range, but each mountain is neatly arranged, with a peculiar beauty of order.
The imperial army has surrounded this place, ready to completely destroy the last line of defense of the Wuji people.
If this place falls, the ground will completely lose their hiding place.
The Wuji people will hide in underground caves and scatter like moles to escape.
Once the people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to gather again.
The generals of the empire knew that as long as the city of the Wuji people was destroyed, it would be the straw that broke the camel's back for the Wuji people who were struggling to support, and they would completely lose their confidence and fighting spirit.
It would be better if the King of Wuji took action.
Even if the soldiers died at the hands of this god, it would be a great honor, and the family and children would also receive preferential treatment and fiefdoms from the empire. For the warriors who died for the gods, the emperor has always been generous in rewarding them, which is also the confidence of the imperial soldiers to fight desperately.
At that time, the god Bo would be able to kill this god who had been hiding and completely win the war.
The first legion arrived outside the city of Wuda.
The general on horseback raised the iron sword in his hand: "Soldiers! Conquer this pagan city! How many fiefs and rewards you can get from the emperor depends on your courage and fighting spirit!"
"Make achievements and establish a career, right here!"
The soldiers raised their shields and spears, followed the general and rushed into the city facing the stones and explosions of the Wuji people.
Since Wuda City did not have any decent walls and fortifications, the imperial army easily crossed the stone railings on the edge.
They killed Wuji warriors with bows and spears, and asked the militia to dig up the arches and salvage the strips or shuttle-shaped boats inside, which were all valuable spoils of war.
All the Wuji people were constantly retreating, and all of them gathered under an arch.
The general felt strange.
This cone-shaped mountain was no different from the surrounding area. It was neither tall nor had any special embellishments or carvings. The only difference was that there was a simple fence filled with stones.
Could it be that this led directly to the shrine of King Wuji?
The general's eyes became hot.
He shouted loudly: "Soldiers, listen to my orders, form a formation, and capture that arch!"
The scattered soldiers heard the commander's order and immediately lined up again, holding shields and holding spears to advance forward.
The archers in the back shot round after round, forcing the Wuji warriors to hide behind the stones and not show their heads at all. They could only throw stones in vain, but these stones could not cause any damage to the shield formation of the imperial soldiers.
Just as the soldiers were about to rush through the fence, a group of blue monsters suddenly rushed out from behind the arch.
There were about hundreds of blue people, and they were shot with arrows, but they seemed to be completely unafraid of pain. They just rushed into the imperial legion madly and easily, waving the axes and hammers in their hands, and quickly destroyed the army formation.
Extraordinary power!
The general was shocked.
King Wuji actually hid a powerful elite guard.
The general immediately ordered: "Retreat, retreat!"
He took the lead in tactical transfer on horseback.
The soldiers behind him also retreated quickly.
But after running for a while, the general realized that the other party was not chasing him. They seemed to have some kind of restrictions and could not leave the area around the ground?
The general was a little annoyed. He was careless and underestimated these barbarians. No matter how far behind they were, they were protected by the gods.
At this time, a fellow commander led a team and arrived, laughing at the embarrassment of the general's team.
"It seems that the honor of breaking the city is destined not to belong to you."
"You should train your soldiers well in normal times, and don't think about giving gifts and banquets everywhere all day. This is the general's job."
The other party was weird for a while.
The general looked a little ugly.
Not long after, watching this colleague lead the team to charge with confidence, and then being killed by the blue-skinned people, and running back with his head in his hands, made the general feel much better.
After a while, the third legion also arrived. Although the three parties killed several blue-skinned people together, they still could not break through the defense line.
The blue-skinned people fought fearlessly, conveying an extremely resolute attitude.
This road is blocked.
However, the generals were not in a hurry. Once the Sand Lizard Legion arrived in the rear, they could use giant crossbows to carry out long-range bombing, and the blue-skinned people would not be able to protect this arch.
Moreover, facing such a strong enemy, His Majesty the Emperor, as the chief apostle, should come in person, and then it would not be a problem.
In large-scale combat, be cautious and cautious.
The generals reorganized the soldiers, set up camp, and patiently waited for the subsequent orders from the empire.
…
The Corruptor Legion entered the field and immediately stabilized the front line.
However, a full-scale counterattack still requires an opportunity.
Lu Yao could see clearly that the dense swarms of evil locusts had already arrived at the Boshen Realm and began to sweep through the farmland and woods.
He was not in a hurry.
Let the swarm fly for a while longer.
