Chapter 391
391 – Smashing the Devil Locust Swarm
The Black Ink War Zone’s headquarters, within the study, the intellectual beauty Wei Luzhen suddenly looked up, picked up a vibrating communications crystal, and quietly listened to the the voice coming from it. Then, she put down the communications crystal, faced Yuan Yi whose mind seemed to be adrift, and said: “Major General, your youngest disciple brother has already obtained 430,000 merit points, surpassing the Bright Moon School’s genius Zhang Zhiqiao on the monthly list and reaching 1st place.”
Yuan Yi looked sluggish for a while. After five minutes, a stream of blue light flew out of the void and entered his body, and his eyes regained their luster. He shook his head and revealed a smile: “What did you say? My youngest disciple brother has reached the 1st place of the monthly list? Heh-heh, he really has some skill. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to pass that demanding assessment. His performance is much more dazzling than ours in the day.”
The mobile fortified fortress, on the bridge, Zhang Zhiqiao and the other women watched the holographic projections as countless devil locusts were incinerated into ashes by the flames sprayed from the stronghold, and their pretty eyes flickered with shock.
Unless it was a Moonlight Warlock, even a Starry Sky Warlock rank mercenary group might be wiped out when faced with a swarm composed of millions of devil locusts. Devil insects were a race of one of the 36 primary material planes, the Savage Insect Plane. Strong fecundity, high compliance, and no fear of death, devil insects were a nightmare for many races.
Devil locusts were merely inferior cannon fodder, their position very low in the ranks of devil insects. However, the number of these cannon fodder could easily exceed 1 million and reach 100 million. In the environment of the Demonic Realm, they were the best cannon fodder.
Human Moonlight Warlocks could wipe out 100 million devil locusts with a meteorological spell. But in an environment like the Demonic Realm, they would have to retreat when faced with a 100-million-strong swarm, lest they ran out of magic power and died.
Suddenly, a small, exquisite communications crystal at Zhang Zhiqiao’s waist vibrated, and she picked it up. A female voice full of charm sounded: “Zhiqiao, your 1st place on the monthly list has just been snatched away by a man. Do you want to know his name? If you go out with me, I can be merciful, and tell you his name?”
Zhang Zhiqiao responded indifferently: “His name is Yang Feng, right!”
The female voice full of charm coming from the communications crystal surged with surprise: “How did you know?”
Zhang Zhiqiao answered: “I’m with him right now, I’m watching him slaughter devil locusts.”
The female voice full of charm surged with excitement: “Do you know him? Where are you right now? I’ll come over, introduce me to him!”
Zhang Zhiqiao responded with smile: “We’re currently inside a devil locust swarm that should number more than 10 million!”
“…”
There was a palpitating silence on the other side of the communications crystal, and then the voice rang once more: “Zhiqiao, let’s meet up when you come back.”
Zhang Zhiqiao responded with a smile: “Fine!”
After putting the communications crystal away, Zhang Zhiqiao’s eyes fell on the holographic projections on the bridge.
The holographic projections fully reproduced the scenes of the environment and changes surrounding the mobile fortified stronghold in a radius of dozens of kilometers. No matter how the devil locust swarm changed, the holographic projections changed accordingly in real time.
Su Fangyan and the beautiful women of the Lily Mercenary Group were deeply attracted by the holographic projections, profoundly aware of the implications.
They were aware that the holographic projections meant that the mobile fortified stronghold’s various scanning abilities have reached an amazing degree, fully reproducing the battle scene. The enemy’s every move couldn’t escape the mobile fortified stronghold. So long as the commander wan’t a fool, and gave correct orders, they could easily defeat one enemy after another.
It should be noted that in the Demonic Realm, even among Moonlight Warlock, only those proficient in computing and simulation spells could reproduce such scenes. In some ways, this mobile fortified stronghold has surpassed Moonlight Warlock experts.
Like moths drawn to a flame, the devil locust swarm attacked the mobile fortified stronghold for a long time. After hundreds of thousands were lost, an eerie insect sound came from the deepest part of the swarm.
The dense cloud-like devil locust swarm turned sluggish, and then suddenly pulled away and dispersed, forming smaller groups around the mobile fortified stronghold.
Spraying so much fire was bound to consume a tremendous amount of energy. Clearly, the devil locust swarm had a commander, and it immediately adjusted the swarm’s modus operandi.
“Interesting, they have a commander?” Yang Feng showed a smile. Staring at the holographic projection, he pondered for a while, and then uttered: “You want to play around? Forget it, let’s just settle it!”
The holographic projections depicted six four-meter tall Great Warlock rank devil locusts cunningly hiding inside six insect swarms.
The chaotic auras and life force of the many devil locusts concealed the life force of the six Great Warlock rank devil locusts. Even Moonlight Warlock rank powerhouses would not be able to locate the six Great Warlock rank devil locust commanders amid the chaotic auras of the countless devil locusts. Naturally, it would be impossible to carry out decapitation strike and kill the six Great Warlock rank devil locusts.
The optical computer inside the mobile fortress stronghold glittered, and quickly carried out frightening calculations.
The 100 basic stronghold artillery atop the mobile fortified stronghold quickly adjusted their their aims, then gathered light and shot 100 railgun beams capable of running through Starry Sky Warlocks in a flash, tearing up the clouds formed by the devil locusts and slamming into the six Great Warlock rank devil locusts.
The six Great Warlock rank devil locusts were instantly blown apart into countless fragments that fell to the ground.
Thanks to the calculations performed by the optical computer, the six Great Warlock rank devil locusts could not even escape, and were killed.
When the six Great Warlock rank devil locusts died, the more than 10 million devil locusts in the air fell into chaos, and then dispersed into insect clouds, some of which rushed towards the mobile fortified stronghold, others flew into the darkness, and yet others scattered on the ground, no longer able to coordinate as well as before.
The hundreds of 45 millimeter machine cannons atop the mobile fortified stronghold roared, and blasted apart one devil locust that had just approached the mobile fortified stronghold after another.
Doors of the mobile fortified stronghold opened, and countless bladed robots equipped with jet packs flew out and cruised around the stronghold, killing devil locusts who slipped through the machine cannon perimeter.
As it fought, the mobile fortified fortress flew toward the depths of the Demonic Realm at a uniform speed.
Countless devil locusts were turned into fragments, and dropped to the ground.
“What a fearsome weapon!”
“Amazing! In terms of destructive power alone, that huge weapon is far superior to Starry Sky Warlocks!!”
“…”
The Warlocks at the gate of the Furious Lion Fortress watched as the devil locusts fell like rain from the sky, a look of shock in their eyes.
Lu Xiongsheng watched the mobile fortified stronghold flying in the Demonic Realm’s sky with envy and jealousy in his eyes: “Who on earth is he? Why does he have such a horrible weapon? Even the Fighting Demonic Sect’s true disciples should not have such a terrible weapon.”
The mobile fortified stronghold, on the bridge.
Sitting in the captain’s seat, Yang Feng spoke indifferently: “What’s the consumption status?!”
The mechanical adjutant gave a precise answer: <In the fight just now, the consumption is: energy 0.1%, ammunition 2%. The energy will be replenished withing 1 hour, 01 minutes, 23 seconds.>
Yang Feng said with a smile: “Junior Disciple Sister Zhang, where can I find the most freaks in the vicinity? Right, it’s best if there’s also a purple sage demonic gold mine.”
Zhang Zhiqiao raised her eyebrows slightly and uttered: “Call me Senior Disciple Sister. My cultivation base is higher than yours, so you should call me Senior Disciple Sister. This is the rule, understood?”
Yang Feng uttered sincerely: “Okay, Senior Disciple Sister Zhang.”
Zhang Zhiqiao arrived before a holographic projection and pointed in a direction: “About 150 kilometers to the west from here, there is a devil insect nest. There people have found one or two chunks of purple sage demonic gold. There may be a purple sage demonic gold mine there. However, I have to warn you. There are at least ten Starry Sky Warlock rank devil insects there, maybe even more. It is one of the most dangerous areas in the war zone, and more than five Starry Sky Warlocks have died there to date. We the Lily Mercenary Group don’t dare to come near it.”
Yang Feng asked: “Since it’s so dangerous there, can’t you just ask a Moonlight Warlock to step in? A Moonlight Warlock should be able to level that place.”
Zhang Zhiqiao responded: “It’s not that simple! In the nest, there are hundreds of millions of devil locusts alone. Besides, the devil locust swarm alone has the power to threaten a Moonlight Warlock. Major General Yuan Yi has stepped in and leveled the nest several times, but every time Major General Yuan Yi moved out, the devil insect experts have already escaped, leaving no trace. It’s very difficult to destroy them, and the environment here is just too disadvantageous for us humans.”
