"Bug tide? What's a bug tide?" It was Carl's first time hearing this term. The first thing he did was turn to look at Rio.
Between the three of them, they had an unwritten rule of turning to Rio whenever they encountered something that they had never heard of or did not understand. Rio had yet to disappoint them so far.
Carl was the go-to guy for the important stuff and Rio was for the trivial stuff! Nothing could go wrong with this arrangement!
Sure enough, a frowning Rio immediately offered an explanation after hearing Carl's question. "What we encounter on our regular defense mission can only be considered minor bug swarms."
"A bug tide is tens of thousand times larger than a bug swarm. It's called a tide because it's boundless like the ocean tide. You won't even be able to see the end of it."
"Oh, you're pretty knowledgeable, kid!" Iger looked at Rio in amazement. He nodded and continued explaining, "He's right. We
While waiting for instructions under the wall, the sound of a clicking switch came from above. Carl raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, where he saw countless huge incandescent lights shining on the world beyond the wall.Noticing their confused expressions, Iger explained, "We have no choice. Since the bug tide chose to come at night, we'll have to turn on the lights to be able to fight.""But under such circumstances, wouldn't the lights become the focus of the bugs' fire instead?" Rio asked, immediately grasping the point.Iger pointed to the dozens of tarpaulin-covered junks under the wall and calmly said, "It's troublesome but if the scenario that you're suggesting happens, someone will immediately change the lighting equipment.""Of course, if our reserves really dry up, we'll have to resort to short-lived solutions like flares. But that's the worst-case scenario. Flares go out faster than incandescent l
"Bugs detected!" The soldier on watch duty triggered the siren, signaling the bugs' arrival.Carl and John stood up on pure instinct, causing Iger to scold them. "Sit back down! This battle is not yours to fight!"The two shivered and sat back down helplessly.While the soldiers gathered in front of the wall crenels at top speed, the four of them did not move an inch from where they were. It was as if what was happening had nothing to do with them.No matter how much they wanted to join the battle, they could not do anything without Iger's explicit permission, especially when Trevor was being so unwelcoming."Relax. The first few rounds are going to be the bugs' favorite bug naval battle techniques. They're going to try to consume all the firepower and energy of the soldiers on the wall. Bill and Trevor will be able to handle such attacks with ease!""Good weapons should be used at the right place. Kids, I
"Raise your shields!" First Lieutenant Trevor shouted, and a large number of soldiers lifted their shields in the direction of the exploding moths at once."Aren't those shields used for stopping venomous barbed serpents? Are they useful against exploding moths?" Carl asked uneasily, frowning.He turned to look at Rio, hoping to get a certain answer out of him. Unfortunately, Rio was frowning with a worried expression as well."Is… there a problem?" Carl thought. A chill ran down his spine as he looked at the nearby wall worriedly.The exploding moths continued to dive down and crash into the shields without caring about their thickness!"Boom!" The first exploding moth that hit the shield immediately blew up, producing a strong force as well as splashing copious amounts of red liquid everywhere."What a strong force... I can't believe they're causing such terrible explosions with their little bodies!" Joh
With his eyes fixed on the sky, Carl began describing the appearance of the strange objects."They're a bunch of red, oval, fleshy creatures with many thin tentacles underneath. They're very slow. I can't tell their attacking method!""I knew it! They're king worms! But why would they appear in the sky near the Fortress? And during the bug tide, too…" Rio muttered to himself in contemplation."Hey! What are king worms? How do they attack? Should we inform Bill and the others? They look like they haven't discovered those bugs!" John shouted worriedly."There's no point. King worms fly at such a high altitude that anti-aircraft weapons on the ground typically can't reach them.""What? Doesn't that mean they're undefeatable?"Rio shook his head, smiling. "You're overthinking it. If the Empire sends its airmen or other aerial troops, those bugs will become living targets.""What do you mean by liv
"Look! What's Instructor Iger doing?" John shouted in amazement.Meanwhile, Rio was opening his book to record Iger's War Spirit power and skills.He stared at Iger, who was curling his hands into his palms. There was a strange white light shining in his hands. His eyes were focused on the exploding cockroaches falling from the sky.When one of them was about to land on the top of the wall, Iger smiled and raised his palms to the same height. A white light immediately appeared underneath the exploding cockroach.The next thing everyone knew, the cockroach that should have exploded on the wall appeared above the bug swarm outside the wall!Boom! There was a burst of dazzling green light, indicating that the cockroach had exploded on top of its comrades and caused major casualties.The explosion even left a wide hole in the dense swarm of bugs."What an amazing War Spirit power! I can't believe
"You're kidding me…" Carl found it hard to accept this outcome. Even though he had only known Bill's team for two days, friendships established on the battlefield were always strong and deep.Even though Bill would show them a stinky face every time, they knew he treated them well.Unlike Trevor's intense resistance toward War Spirit warriors, Bill's strictness was laced with protectiveness. This much was apparent to Carl."Oh, all right. Some things are not up to us to decide. Do you want to rest somewhere? The battle nearly knocked me out just now." Iger moved his muscles weakly, looking exhausted."Instructor Iger, when will we be joining the defensive mission again?" Rio asked, staring at Iger."We can sit out two rounds. It's our turn to participate after two more rotation teams but since Bill's team has been disbanded, I'll have to check which team we're joining."Thud. Thud.The four of
"That's some incredible marksmanship! Are you Drizzt from Trevor's team? Wait a minute. I could feel the fluctuation of War Spirit power earlier. When did we get a War Spirit warrior that specializes in shooting in the Fortress?" the leader of the War Spirit warriors asked, looking at Carl and the others in amazement."Yo! Is that you, Wade? Weren't you guys supposed to be at the west defense zone? Why are you fighting bugs in this place?" Iger walked up to them with a grin.The War Spirit warrior named Wade snorted and said disdainfully, "Here comes the drunkard Iger. I can't believe Faye called you too…""As you can see, a large number of bugs poured into the Fortress as soon as the west defense zone was breached. Even though the War Spirit warriors nearby have stopped them as quickly as possible, there are still a lot of bugs that got in.""So you're doing an internal suppression mission now…" Iger nodded. He immediately underst
The Zerg attack was still ongoing as countless bugs poured into the Fortress via the gap in the defense. The bugs that were scattered around the periphery of the Fortress were also subconsciously gathering at the rift."Hey, this isn't working! There are only so many of us but the bugs are endless!" Iger shouted worriedly, all while splicing two bugs with his Spatial Shift.Clark snorted and his hard-as-steel tail whipped a bug that was attacking him from behind. He waited until he was done with the enemy before responding."Relax! Someone has already reported the situation here to the commander! Since the pressure on other zones has relaxed, the freed-up troops will definitely be transferred here!""Really? I thought they're going to leave this whole zone to us! I nearly peed my pants!" Iger's worried expression finally disappeared, leaving only a smug face behind. It was such an eyesore that Clark wished he could smack his head w
Listening to Vader's surprise, Carl and the old dean looked at each other, but at this point in time, they didn't know how they should go about explaining it to Vader.It was a good thing that all the other kids were leaning in at this point in the conversation; to kids their age, the pair of razor-sharp arms that Vader now possessed was cool as hell.Vader, who had originally had the surprise of his own pair of razor-sharp arms, was originally in an overwhelming state of panic in his mind.It's like when you wake up one morning, only to suddenly realize that the lower half of your body has turned into a snake, and the feeling of bewilderment is just too much to bear.However, under the envy of his other buddies, Vader's mindset also quickly produced a shift. Nowadays, not only did he not find his Sharpshooter arm strange, but he found it super handsome!Little children, as long as they could gain recognition and admiration within their peers, then for
As those 6 assassins attacked, Karl quickly raised the Blast Gun Blade in his hand with a strong killing intent, and his mouth drank lowly without any emotion:"Phoenix Fairy Fire!"A shining flaming missile flew towards those 6 Battle Spirit warriors with precision at that moment.The assassins who had never experienced the power of Karl Fire Phoenix's energy didn't know what this flaming missile actually represented.Even because they were unable to perceive the energy contained within the flame missiles, just how great it was, they naively thought that these Phoenix Immortal Flames were just an ordinary flame missile.For those of them who were all title level Battle Spirit Warriors, ordinary flame missiles didn't even need to be dodged, simply relying on the toughness of their own and other people's flesh, they were able to easily carry the flame missiles through.It was a pity that this time they guessed wrong, Carl's Phoenix Immortal Flame w
"Quickly catch these little brats! Never let them escape!" The assassin at the head of the group shouted loudly at that moment.If just now they had just had some doubts, the Carl that Chris was talking about in their mouths was or wasn't their target, Silverwing Carl.Then now when these kids run away so perversely, the likelihood is almost close to 100 percent!Though Chris and the others managed to get the group of assassins in a flurry at first, as each of them scattered and fled.But once they started chasing the children, how could these ordinary children outrun these War Spirit warriors?In just an instant, almost all of the children who had just run a short distance away were stopped in their tracks by one or two assassins.Chris, who had the most guts, saw that his little friends were stopped by these bad guys, and with evil in his heart, he still didn't stop himself, but instead slightly made a sideways turn to the side, directly dodging
Carl gripped the glowing green emblem in his hand and looked at the old dean with great excitement, he had never heard anything about his father in the past ten years or so!And why, when his own father left him nothing, did he single out such a firefly symbol?The old Dean grinned, pointing his finger at the glow sign in Carl's hand, and began to explain it to him."Carl, the truth is that you, like Arthur, your real father, currently survives ...""So, in fact, when Arthur and I were very young, you already knew that he was the son of Emperor Caesar?" Carl looked up a little incredulously."That's right, it was also me and Silas ... who saved him from that group of imperial assassins at that time When we learned the background of Arthur's identity, we didn't choose to tell it to Arthur at first.""Because you also know that if Arthur, before his wings are full, rashly returns to a place like the imperial capital, not to mention restoring his ide
Vivian, who was originally still a bit shy, let out a cry of joy after hearing Carl's words, blushing as she jumped into Carl's arms and hugged him tightly.Feeling the little girl's increasingly voluptuous body, Carl coughed lightly and somewhat uncomfortably, and managed to pull Vivian out of his arms.At this time, the small children who were new to the orphanage were all looking at Carl with curiosity at this point.During the weekdays, Chris and the guys hadn't failed to tell them stories about Carl, Arthur and Sophia.That's why these kids were incredibly curious and in awe of this doubly revered Big Brother Carl.It was good that the old dean, who was on the side, smiled at this time and said, "Alright, you little guys, Carl ran all the way back, so let's give a little bit of rest time to him first!"Ron and the others reacted instantly and looked at Carl with some embarrassment, they indeed hadn't thought of that.Carl saw the apolog
Such questions of similar philosophical depth, Carl pondered them only briefly before putting them completely out of his mind.It's as if you go and think about what the point of human existence really is, and maybe thinking about it is indeed useful, but not desperately needed.Speaking as a Planet Loran-born human, Carl's current goal was clear, and that was to expel the Planet Loran's Zerg Bugs, as many as he could, and kill them as much as he could!If it's not my kind, its heart will be different!After once again exchanging some details with Aria, the Bug Mother, Karl finally did decide to say goodbye to Aria.Although he was a bit reluctant to let go of this companion who had accompanied him for two months, the good thing was that he could always be contacted through the Fire Phoenix Seal, and the Fire Phoenix Seal also allowed Carl to continue to use the abilities of the Bug Mother, Aria.In this case, Carl was finally accepting the separa
Just as Carl was still a bit hesitant, the Phoenix inside him suddenly spoke up, "Kid, grant that bug's request!""No way, but wouldn't it be bad if she and her pack grew and grew and by then it was beyond my control?"Carl spoke with some surprise, thinking that Phoenix might not understand his current point of concern.Phoenix, however, gave a disdainful laugh and then said, "Aren't you afraid that she'll break away from your control and then will bring her swarm of bugs to revolt against the humans? Don't worry, I'll teach you a trick to keep her obedient!"Following Phoenix's instructions, after Carl and Bug Mother Aria communicated with each other, there was a flash of green light, and Bug Mother Aria instantly appeared in Carl's body.It was the first time since she had declared her allegiance to Carl that she had detached herself from Carl's body.When she left, Carl only felt a slight emptiness that inexplicably arose as if a part of his p
Although Desmond noticed the change in Carl's longsword, his kick was also ready to go, so it was naturally impossible for him to temporarily dodge it!Through the round of exchanges just now, he had clearly felt that although Carl had the strength of a title level once awakened, for a young man of this age, Carl's strength was already considered to be the most top of the line!However, in front of this quasi-heroic level Battle Spirit Warrior of his, no matter how strong Karl was, he could only be easily suppressed and defeated by him!He had the confidence and the strength to do so. So in the midst of this encounter, even though he had first noticed the change in Carl's Blizzard Gunblade, he still chose to meet it head on!Isn't it just a sword blade that burns with flames! I Desmond is not afraid of it, after all, ... my demon wind foot is not vegetarian ah!Unfortunately, Desmond does not know, Karl at this time the blaze above the blade of the Bliz
"Team ... long ...," this battle spirit samurai with earth escape was stabbed through the heart by Karl holding the Blaster Blade in a very strong grip.After struggling slightly for a while, this War Spirit Warrior finally exhaled his last breath and his body collapsed helplessly towards the front."Damn, you even ..." The leader saw another member of his team sacrificed, and his whole person became maniacal.It was abominable, and this complete disregard for him by Carl, coupled with the deaths of his own team members one by one, was a double blow to him.Carl laughed coldly, you didn't say that when you kicked me, did you? How come you can't take it now that I'm fighting back?Then with a hard kick, Karl pulled his Blast Gunblade out of the War Spirit warrior's body.After bringing out a wisp of blood splatter, Karl flashed a cold smile at the epileptic leader.Being gazed at by Karl with such a cold smile, a chill drifted through the lea
