Chapter 2039 - 2032: Nice Acting Skills
"What’s going on here?" On the wall of the Ice King City, the City Lord watched the vast army of insect clans, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He had been serving as the City Lord of the Ice King City for a long time, faced countless crises before, but never had he encountered such an unprecedented disaster as today.
The number of insect warcrafts flooding in from four directions even exceeded trillion, and there’s no way they could hold on with the current manpower!
Although they had a guardian beast, the guardian beast also needed to follow the rules of this world, unless the entire race was near extinction, it absolutely would not make a move.
If the guardian beast truly had to make a move, it would indicate that the adventurers of the Ice Demon Race had mostly been killed by these insect warcrafts.
"Chief, can we withstand this many insect warcrafts?" Lucas, a valiant warrior of the Ice Demon Race, couldn’t help but feel anxious upon seeing this scene.
"Just a mere insect tide, what’s there to fear," Zhang Menglong sneered while giving orders to Jin Kela.
"Jin Kela, let the insect warcrafts attacking the south gate ease up; at the other three gates, hit them hard, and after breaking through, conduct a wave of demolition. Be sure not to provoke that Ice Wing Dragon Bat; don’t mess with it for now."
Having received Zhang Menglong’s orders, Jin Kela immediately began to command those insect warcrafts to launch attacks.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Countless fireballs flew towards the Ice King City; these were from a kind of insect clan called Blast Flame Demon Insects, natural magicians capable of shooting powerful fireballs.
One or two might not be very impactful, but once they amounted to thousands, the destructive power was extremely formidable. In Zhang Menglong’s insect clan army, there were over 20 million of these Blast Flame Demon Insects, and their salvo truly amounted to a fiery rain.
"Activate the protective shield!"
The City Lord of the Ice King City immediately ordered the activation of the city’s defensive system, as without it, the impact from these fireballs would cause severe losses.
In an instant, a silver-white light shield appeared around the Ice King City’s exterior, blocking all the fireballs. The fireballs persistently produced ripples upon hitting the shield but could not destroy it.
"Such an intense offensive; this seems like a premeditated attack," several tribe lords vaguely felt that something was unusual.
Yet none would suspect Zhang Menglong, since controlling such a massive army of warcrafts wasn’t something just anyone could accomplish.
It’s highly probable that a fearsome leader emerged among the insect clan, coincidentally targeting their Ice King City as the first goal of the insect army.
Seeing the ranged attack losing effectiveness, countless insect clans started a flesh-and-blood charge towards the Ice King City.
In the central area of the Ice King City, a blue gemstone flickered, shooting out numerous ice spikes from the light shield!
That gemstone was the power core of the entire Ice King City, capable of both defense and attack.
The ice spikes ranged in size from several centimeters to several meters, directly piercing and pinning weaker insect warcrafts.
These ice spikes could effortlessly kill lord-level warcrafts and even harm king-level warcrafts.
However, the insect army quickly changed formation, with a group of massive insect clans positioning themselves at the forefront. These insects ranged from tens of meters to hundreds of meters in height, covered in extraordinarily tough scales, on which the ice spikes left but faint marks.
Steel Fighting Insects, a type of powerful insect clan with keratinized surfaces; their bodies served as the most formidable weapons, crushing the battlefield like tanks.
The distance between the insect army and the Ice King City was narrowing rapidly; although the ice spikes killed countless insect clans, in this vast multitude, the deaths were merely a drop in the ocean.
The blue crystal flickered once again, sending a beam of thunder straight into the sky, which then transformed into eight rays of lightning rampaging across the ground.
The thunder seemed to contain extremely low temperatures, thoroughly freezing the insect clans from shells to flesh, turning them into clusters of crystal-clear ice sculptures.
The frozen insect clans halted their charge, while those behind continued rushing, smashing the ice sculptures into pieces.
This round of freezing lightning at least killed millions of insect clans.
"Too many," the City Lord’s complexion showed no sign of improvement, as the blue crystal’s power wasn’t inexhaustible. Each lightning sweep required immense energy consumption, and replenishing energy required a significant amount of time, making continuous release impossible.
"We must fight!" The City Lord grabbed his sword, "Warriors of the Ice Demon Race, charge with me!"
All Ice Demon Race warriors instantly entered battle mode, their strength increased hundreds of times, directly charging towards the insect tide.
But soon they realized that amidst such an offensive, any defense was futile. A warrior from the Land Absolute Royal Clan charged into battle; his strength reached the limit of the Dao Realm, even using the Ice Demon Flower to unleash all his potential.
His fists and kicks contained terrifying energy; a punch to those warcrafts resulted in a burst of insect clan warcraft bodies.
"Die! Die! All of you die!"
The Ice Demon Race warrior seemed to have gone mad, no matter how many he killed, gaps were immediately filled by other insect clans, and occasionally some appeared at emperor level, posing substantial difficulties.
"Boom!" His body was fiercely knocked away by an insect warcraft, one that had reached the limit of the Dao Realm!
His body slammed hard against the wall, then slid down.
The Ice Demon Race martial artist’s ground had been crazily compressed, with the insect army now less than a kilometer from the wall!
This kilometer of defense lasted only a few minutes before collapsing completely; Ice Demon Race warriors were instantly submerged by the insect tide, even without a sound of screams.
"Boom!"
Under the army’s mighty offensive, a section of the western wall extended into a gap of tens of kilometers, guarded by tribes of the Sand Blast Royal Clan and Ice Fury Royal Clan, who had long lost their fighting spirit and suffered enormous losses.
Lacking the wall’s protection, insect clans swarmed in, frantically destroying city structures, turning the western side into hell...
Meanwhile, on the southern wall guarded by Zhang Menglong, they were unexpectedly fighting the insect army to a stalemate!
Actually, warriors of the Ice Demon Race on the Ice Throne found it strange; despite being vastly outnumbered, the insect army seemed to be retreating step by step in battle!
More peculiar, those insect clans appeared as if suffering from low energy, with attacks landing on their bodies feeling weightless, and some warriors found the supposedly fatal results were merely flesh wounds.
Zhang Menglong stood on the city wall, overseeing everything, "Well done, Jin Kela’s acting skills are quite impressive!"
