Chapter 2618: Trample

100 Demon Beasts formed the vanguard. They were responsible for scouting, intercepting enemies after the battle, and covering the retreat of the Zerg forces.

Su Xiao watched the Zerg tide rushing forward. This time, he didn't need to shout, "One gold shield for every kill." He only needed to issue one order. After that, unless the Zerg forces he controlled were wiped out, the war would not stop. Even if only one Poison Stinger remained, there would be no such thing as a rout.

At this moment, beneath the Leviathans were the Poison Stingers, dragging the massive Leviathans forward to increase their travel speed.

Baja soared in the high sky. It had completed the scouting. Considering the speed of the Zerg forces, they would reach the battle location in at most 40 minutes. The "Rapid March (Passive)" of the War Lord title was not just for show.

The earth shook. After exiting the sprawling mountain range, they reached the plains. From here on, they would enter the territory of the Tiger Bee faction.

Bang, bang, bang...

Spikes nearly two meters long shot out, piercing hundreds of Tiger-Eye Bees in mid-air. These Tiger-Eye Bees were about a meter long and looked ferocious, but under the volley of hundreds of Poison Stingers, they were instantly shattered.

After ten minutes of rapid travel, a hive about 60 meters tall appeared in the distance. The hive was entirely black, as if built from dissolved black ore, reflecting the unique luster of metal under the sunlight.

All Poison Stingers stopped. The two Leviathans began to lock onto the hive. The plates of armor on their backs unfolded, and the biological tissues beneath surged.

Boom, boom, boom...

Bio-missiles nearly half a meter long were fired. These missiles traced semicircular paths, spewing dark green exhaust, and flew toward the distant hive in a surrounding formation.

Each bio-missile had a different flight path, but the target was the same. When these missiles reached the vicinity of the hive, a large swarm of Tiger-Eye Bees surged out. It was like poking a hornet's nest.

The sound of vibrating wings became deafening. As soon as the Tiger-Eye Bees flew out of the hive, they were greeted by the bio-missiles.

Thud!

240 bio-missiles exploded simultaneously. The black wreckage of the hive was scattered across the sky, and the shattered corpses of the Tiger-Eye Bees were countless.

The hive fortress that the Tiger Bee clan was so proud of faced the Leviathans, which were born specifically for siege warfare. After the first round of bio-missiles, the upper half of the hive was directly shattered, leaving only the bottom third, which was also covered in cracks.

Acidic liquid corroded the hive, making a hissing sound. After the hive shattered, it was as if a dark cloud had appeared, with millions of Tiger-Eye Bees surging out.

"Who is it!!"

A roar came from the shattered hive. It was a Tiger Bee clansman. At this moment, its eyes were blood-red, and its outer armor was hissing.

To be precise, this was an elite individual among the Tiger Bee clan, responsible for managing the Tiger-Eye Bees and the Tiger Bee clansmen within this hive. The Bee Queen had even bestowed a name upon it: Sawyer.

The Tiger Bee faction was different from the Dia tribe; they had no civilization and followed a path of biological evolution. Therefore, their names were all randomly chosen by the Bee Queen from ancient elf books.

Sawyer, the Tiger Bee clansman, was somewhat bewildered at this moment. Its first reaction was that the Dia tribe had attacked, but it felt wrong. The Dia tribe was strong, yes, but they wouldn't be this ferocious. There was no negotiation, no warning—only a sky full of missiles and countless spikes.

Sawyer looked up at the high sky. The sky had darkened—not because the sun was setting, but because the spikes flying from above had formed a massive sheet.

The Tiger-Eye Bee swarm was enveloped by the dense spikes. After one volley, countless Tiger-Eye Bees were turned into hedgehogs.

On the hive that was only one-third left, it was covered in spikes. Although the Tiger-Eye Bees did not have high intelligence, they were equally fearless of death and immediately swarmed toward the Zerg forces.

Su Xiao divided the 150,000 Poison Stingers into three echelons for alternating fire. After the first echelon fired, the 50,000 Poison Stingers in front would crawl, and the second echelon would immediately fire their spikes.

The Tiger-Eye Bees in mid-air scattered like a huge black cloud, rushing toward the Zerg forces.

Bang, bang, bang...

The second echelon of Poison Stingers fired their spikes, and the swarming Tiger-Eye Bees were shot down in large numbers, falling to the ground with a clatter.

The third echelon was already prepared, firing dense spikes. After that, the first echelon had already finished reloading and could fire at any time.

If more than 300,000 Tiger-Eye Bees rushed over, the Poison Stinger forces would surely be wiped out. The Poison Stingers had weak defense and basically no melee ability.

Round after round of volleys began. For some reason, the Tiger-Eye Bees flying in front lowered their flight altitude, forming a wall, with the lowest ones almost flying close to the ground.

In less than 3 minutes, over 80% of the Tiger-Eye Bees were dead, and the remainder had reached a few dozen meters in front of the Poison Stinger forces.

All Poison Stingers stopped attacking. A moment later, the densest volley erupted.

The wall formed by the Tiger-Eye Bee swarm was instantly disintegrated. Behind them were over 12,000 Tiger Bee clansmen. Covered in armor, they ran at full speed and had already reached within a few meters.

A Tiger Bee clansman rushed to the front of the Poison Stinger tribe. It swung the hook-blade on its forearm, which was over a meter long, and a Poison Stinger was directly cut in two, dying on the spot.

Although the intelligence of ordinary Tiger Bee clansmen did not reach the level of humans, it was much higher than that of beasts. The Tiger Bee clansman that killed the first Poison Stinger seemed to have some doubts in its eyes. It had originally thought these enemies were strong, but after engaging, it found them very weak—it only took one strike to kill one.

The Tiger Bee clansmen were like tigers among sheep. The Poison Stingers at the very front of the Zerg forces were killed within 2 seconds, with nearly 30,000 dying.

Just when the Tiger Bee clansmen thought they had a chance of winning, spikes flew from the front. Nearly 3,000 Tiger Bee clansmen and over 5,000 Poison Stingers were turned into hedgehogs.

Sawyer, the Tiger Bee clansman, hid behind the corpses of its own kind, its eyes full of shock. Just now, the enemy had launched an indiscriminate attack, not caring at all if their own side was affected.

Sawyer looked forward. Soon, it saw a scene that made its whole body cold: a Poison Stinger, shot to the brink of death, actually crawled up from the ground with all its might and fired the last spike in its body. After doing all this, the Poison Stinger collapsed and died, not caring at all that it had been accidentally injured by its own side.

Sawyer would never know that the Zerg had no emotions; the tribe was supreme.

5 minutes and 24 seconds after the war started, the battlefield was quiet. Over 130,000 Poison Stingers had died. Fortunately, the Leviathans' second wave of bio-missiles was strong enough.

1,020 Spore Tanks surged forward like liquid, wrapping all the corpses on the ground within themselves.

Before long, the Spore Tanks had finished cleaning the battlefield. They condensed into 12 huge individuals, with translucent tentacles spreading from their fronts. The remaining 20,000 Poison Stingers hooked onto these tentacles and dragged the giant Spore Tanks back toward their own base.

From the start of the war to the withdrawal, it took 6 minutes. The enemy's reinforcements were fast, but 99 Demon Beasts intercepted them and lured some away. These Demon Beasts were certainly going to die; they were buying time.

Su Xiao stood on the back of a Demon Beast, traveling rapidly. After about 3 minutes, two explosions came from behind. It was the two Leviathans self-destructing. Su Xiao had left them behind on purpose to prevent the Tiger Bee clan from pursuing them immediately.

Su Xiao looked at the 12 super-giant Spore Tanks in front. This was the opportunity for his rise.

After the Zerg forces withdrew, near the wreckage of the hive.

Hundreds of Tiger Bee clansmen lay on the ground in disarray. The biological tissues of the Leviathans were splattered everywhere.

Among the many Tiger Bee clansmen, Bee Queen Carol stood on the back of a giant beast. This was a fission-evolved form of the Tiger Bee clan.

"Who can tell me what happened here?"

Bee Queen Carol's voice was cold. She hadn't been this angry in a long time. Hearing this, the Tiger Bee clansmen near her all lowered their heads, not daring to breathe loudly.

It seemed Bee Queen Carol was furious, but in reality, she was very calm and did not pursue immediately. To say she wasn't shaken after seeing the shattered hive would be a lie. She certainly knew how hard the hive was.

"Track these drag marks, find them, and then, kill them all."

Bee Queen Carol's eyes narrowed, and a gold-black aura was suddenly released. A wave spread out until it affected the entire territory of the Tiger Bee faction.

After this wave spread, all the Tiger Bee clansmen in the 32 hives let out roars. And in a hive over two hundred meters tall, the Tiger Bee Lord, Taimesha, who was in deep sleep, was awakened. ===== CHAPTER 2619 =====
