Chapter 946 [0937] Insect Tide, Endless Insect Tide

The long-range shooting dealt a heavy blow to the first wave of void worms that flew out of the Howling Abyss.

However, the coalition archers did not feel the slightest bit of excitement.

Because just as these void worms fell into the abyss and were smashed to pieces, more worms flew out. They formed a tight formation, and the sound of their wings vibrating together made people feel dizzy and nauseous.

Although such a tight formation can make the arrows more lethal, it also increases the pressure on the coalition.

Even veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles often lose their sense of proportion and lose their concentration when facing these enemies they have never seen before.

Moreover, the spreading void energy is also eroding the battlefield environment. Although the ice and snow will not melt easily, and there is no need to worry about the erosion of void energy in the Malphite combat unit, it is still enough to make people feel scared when seeing that the surrounding world seems to be melting into a deep purple.

What is even more frightening is that even though the Void Worms that took off fell like raindrops, the number of Void Worms that flew out later did not decrease but increased. They did not launch an attack immediately, but continued to gather on the Howling Abyss with astonishing casualties, as if they were determined to clear the field in one wave after accumulating enough numbers.

This attitude will undoubtedly put great pressure on the coalition forces. Under the gaze of so many flying Void Worms, even the bravest warriors will be nervous at this time.

Many Avarosa warriors can't help but roar in a low voice to cheer themselves up. They are looking forward to the Void Worms starting to dive, and then the sharp blades in their hands will kill them happily - unfortunately, the Void Worms just keep gathering, and have no intention of starting to dive and fight.

The coalition forces have long-range firepower suppression, and the number of Void Worms is always limited, but the number of Void Worms around Ornn, Volibear and Anivia continues to increase visibly.

Although for ordinary people, these void worms are already very large and are very easy to aim at, but for these three, void worms are really no different from mosquitoes.

In this case, although the void worms obviously cannot cause any damage to them, they often have a little difficulty in dealing with these annoying void worms.

Although they are in a state of gathering, they seem to be sending themselves to death when facing arrows, but if Volibear stretches out his claws to grab, it is not too difficult for them to dodge.

It was not until Volibear roared in dissatisfaction and triggered the power of thunder that the densely arranged void worms in the air were electrocuted into a string, and his efficiency in clearing the void worms increased.

This state of triggering but not firing lasted for nearly an hour.

……………………

An hour later, when the gathered void worms had completely covered the sky, they finally launched their first active attack.

The Void Worms, arranged in a tight formation, gathered into a huge wave. After slightly raising their height, they suddenly began to dive downward.

In the Malphite combat unit, the first row of heavy armored warriors of the Vanguard Battalion immediately drew their weapons and raised their shields.

The next moment, a dull crash sounded, and countless Void Worms revealed the thorns under their shells and rushed towards the Vanguard Warriors, as if they wanted to completely submerge them - then they crashed into the Kite Shield, smashing themselves into a pile and then sticking to the shield.

After a Void Worm killed itself, the second, the third...

Although the Vanguard Warriors were heavy enough, facing the continuous collisions, their figures were inevitably pushed back - just like being pushed by a huge wave, and there were often two deep marks left under their feet.

Even with the protection of heavy armor, the warriors of the Vanguard Battalion were covered with purple slime as the void worms dived and exploded desperately. They didn't feel anything when the slime first stuck to their bodies, but as it gradually seeped into the inside of the armor, the warriors of the Vanguard Battalion who came into direct contact with it soon developed various discomfort symptoms.

At the same time, Karya's rotation order also arrived at the front line - under the cover of the fire wall raised by the guardians, the first three rows of the Vanguard Battalion warriors quickly retreated, and rotated with the back, and went to the relatively safe area behind to receive simple purification treatment.

The fire wall was quickly extinguished by the void worms' sacrifice. After a short assembly, the wave-like dive officially began again, and under the attack of this wave, the coalition's formation was moved back a few feet again.

Then change shifts, defend again...

When the coalition's formation was finally some distance away from the Howling Abyss, the reptiles under the abyss finally came to the ground for the first time.

Compared to the slender flying voidworms, these voidworms that climbed up along the plank road and the partition wall looked much stronger. Their bodies were also covered with chitin armor, but both the thickness and solidity were far superior to the voidworms flying in the sky.

After gaining a little space for the position, they began to rush out of the Howling Abyss and rushed towards the coalition's front.

Behind them, there were many one-eyed creatures floating in the air. Their eyes were filled with undisguised curiosity and doubt, and seemed to be full of contempt from a high position. Behind these one-eyed creatures, their tentacles were waving excitedly, as if they had found something of great interest, and looked full of anticipation.

Anyone who is stared at by them and chooses to look at them will have all kinds of past events flashing through their minds like a revolving lantern.

"Don't look at those one-eyed people, attack directly!" Almost at the same time as these one-eyed people appeared, Kalya's order spread throughout the coalition, "All archers and spearmen, regard those one-eyed people as the first target!"

With Kalya's order, except for a few unlucky people whose minds were read at the first sight, most people avoided this fatal gaze in time, and the archers and spearmen quickly focused their fire, and the sound of eyeballs being poked and exploded came one after another.

Such a direct attack seemed to anger these floating big eyeballs, and they quickly locked onto the archers who were drawing their bows and arrows, and the one-eyed person lit up a dangerous disintegration ray.

Anyone who is exposed to this ray for a long time will completely turn into a pile of pure organic matter, and eventually both the body and memory will become nutrients of the void.

However, before they started to act, Karya's order once again reached the front line.

So, when the disintegration ray lit up, the Guardian quickly propped up the special energy shield specially prepared by Karya.

Although these energy shields were quickly disintegrated and collapsed, the one-eyed man who disintegrated the shield soon showed a look of doubt, and then they began to self-destruct one after another, exploding into a series of heart-pounding fireworks in the air.

For these Void One-eyed Man who likes to analyze Runeland through disintegration rays, the special energy shield carefully prepared by Karya is absolutely redundant information, a deadly spam attack, and any Void One-eyed Man who tries to analyze this spell will analyze himself to collapse.

It is precisely for this reason that those unlucky people who disintegrated the special energy shield will self-destruct in the air.

Two consecutive successful responses finally stabilized the coalition forces, which were still somewhat panicked.

Judging from the current situation, Karya is indeed quite familiar with the void creatures, and is quite familiar with the opponent's attack methods. As soon as the void worms made some moves, Karya arranged countermeasures in advance, which made most of the soldiers of the coalition gradually feel confident when facing unknown enemies.

As long as the battle continues like this, even if the number of enemies is a bit too large, victory will only belong to the coalition!

Then, before they could take a breath, after the one-eyed man, more void worms began to rush out of the Howling Abyss quickly and attacked the coalition's position. The joy of dealing with it well did not have time to surge in their hearts, and the soldiers of the coalition fell into a bitter battle.

……………………

Void worms, endless void worms.

Since Lissandra sealed herself, several hours have passed, but the speed of the void worms pouring out of the Howling Abyss has never slowed down, but has increased.

It's as if the number of void worms below is really endless.

No one knows whether the number of void worms is endless.

But everyone knows that the physical strength of the coalition is not infinite.

Even though the commander of the coalition has been working hard to maintain the dispatch so that the soldiers of the coalition can take turns to rest as much as possible, as the sky gets darker, the soldiers of the coalition who participated in the battle inevitably fall into fatigue.

People will get tired, this is inevitable.

But the void worms will not get tired. They are not afraid of fatigue or death. It seems that they will continue to entangle with the coalition.

If this continues, the coalition’s front will collapse sooner or later.

They need to rest!

However, in the current situation, where can they rest?

The original camp of the coalition is on the other side of the Howling Abyss. Since it is not the focus of the void worms’ attack and there are still a sufficient number of defenders, it is now a safe place.

But the problem is that if the main force of the coalition wants to withdraw now, it has to pass through the Frost Bridge on the Howling Abyss. Now the bridge is almost completely occupied by void bugs. There are nothing but bugs on the bridge, and some bugs have even started to build nests. It is not easy to pass through the bridge!

Fortunately, Karya had anticipated the current situation a long time ago. As early as when the Frost Bridge was occupied, the coalition had left almost all the ignition fuel and unused combustibles on the bridge. Now is the time to use them!

Karya did it himself, and it didn't take much effort. The entire Frost Bridge was already a sea of ​​flames.

These void bugs in Freljord obviously had not seen the power of fire attacks in the past. Although they have a very obvious resistance to frost magic, they are quite vulnerable when facing flames.

With the flames opening the way, under the cover of Malphite's combat units, the coalition passed the Frost Bridge quite smoothly, returned to their camp, and began to rest in batches.

But the three Freljord demigods on the other side were not so lucky.

They didn't have a camp.

Although the night was gradually spreading, Anivia, Volibear and Ornn were still struggling to fight against the insects.

The void worms did not have much impact on them, and they did not have the physical limitations of mortals. Even if they fought like this for ten days or half a month, there would be no pressure. However, this posture of fighting in the dark night looked a bit embarrassing.

Even many soldiers of the coalition army had doubts about whether these three could hold on - if they were swallowed by the swarm of insects, it would cause a heavy blow to both the battle situation and morale.

For this reason, Kalya gave a guarantee.

"They will be fine. Although there are many void insects, they are just appetizers in the final analysis. Before the earth breaks and the watchers appear, no matter how many void insects there are, they are just foreplay."

Hearing Kalya's words, the expressions of the commanders of the coalition army were a bit complicated.

Good news, the three Freljord demigods will not be in danger, and these void insects are not a big problem.

Bad news, this level of insect tide is just foreplay, and there are more terrifying existences under the abyss.

……………………

The insect tide attack lasted for nearly three days.

During these three days, first there were flying insects, then reptiles. The number of void insects pouring out from the Howling Abyss was astonishing, but their combat effectiveness was very limited.

Except for those special one-eyed monsters, most of the void worms are no more dangerous than hungry direwolves - very dangerous, but not dangerous enough for the coalition.

Even as the soldiers of the coalition gradually became familiar with the battle rhythm of the void worms under the command of Karya, many people even had a vague idea of ​​"nothing special".

It's not that the coalition is proud, but it's really that their commander seems to know the void worms too well. All the behaviors of the void worms are within Karya's expectations. Although there are certain casualties in this kind of battle where you know yourself and the enemy, overall, morale is gradually improving.

The state of the three Freljord demigods is somewhat similar to that of the coalition. Although they are extremely impatient with the void worms, these worms can't really cause any damage to them. Even if it weren't for Karya's repeated communication, they might have jumped into the abyss.

The only one who suffered in this worm tide was the Frostguard Fortress.

Although the Frostguard Fortress was majestic and dangerous, after their witch sealed themselves in the Ice Tomb, they still performed quite poorly in the face of the insect tide, which was mainly composed of flying insects.

In the absence of long-range firepower and the use of ice magic by spellcasters, their ability to restrict the insect tide was very insufficient, and they could only barely support themselves by relying on the city walls for three days.

Then, just when most people thought that the battle would become a protracted war, in the early morning of the fourth day, a heart-pounding tremor came from the ground under the Howling Abyss.

Kalya, who had been paying close attention to this, immediately issued an emergency assembly order.

"Get up!"

"Prepare for battle!"

"Follow the previous rhythm, we must defend the camp, and leave the monitor to us!"

The Void Monitor, a grand appearance!
