Demon Race Reinforcements Arrive

The eastern city wall of Shahai City.

Watching the Ministry of War retreat, preparing to charge again, a glint of madness flashed in the mayor's eyes.

Ignoring his fear, he shouted, waking all the soldiers who were stunned with fright.

"Fire! Fire!"

Psychic Energy Cannon rained down on the Ministry of War.

The soldiers aiming from the city wall had descended into a state of near-madness in their struggle for survival.

The shells seemed to be given away for free, raining down without any restraint.

Frequent use caused the Psychic Energy Cannon's barrel to heat up rapidly.

But no soldier stopped firing because of this.

Despite their heavy armor and formidable defensive capabilities, the heavy cavalry were formidable.

However, being bombarded by so many shells, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

However, all of this is contingent on the shells hitting them accurately or landing near them.

Just as the shells were flying towards the heavy Ministry of War, the Insect Race reinforcements surged in like a tidal wave.

At a glance, they were everywhere, their sheer number astonishing.

They surged forward at an astonishing speed, like a swarm of locusts.

The water curtain obscured the heavy cavalry's figures, effectively blocking the artillery Ministry of War behind them.

This horde of Insect Race soldiers was simply too large, making up two-thirds of the entire Zerg swarm!

In order to maximize the power of the shells, the defenders of the Shahai City would deliberately control the bombing.

Therefore, each Psychic Energy Cannon will maintain a certain distance between its landing points.

This strategy was originally intended to increase the kill radius of the artillery shells.

However, the Insect Race have now cleverly exploited this advantage.

Because of the gap between the impact points of the shells, the Insect Race soldiers took advantage of this "gap" and surged in like a tide from between the blast radius of the two shells.

Although some aftershocks will scrape the edges of the explosion.

However, its impact on this large and well-defended Insect Race soldier force is negligible.

On the city wall, the mayor of Shahai City stood ramrod straight, but his uncontrollably trembling arms betrayed the turmoil in his heart.

His gaze, sharp as a hawk's, was fixed on the fearless Insect Race below the city walls.

The howling wind whipped up sand and dust, severely obstructing his vision.

Nevertheless, he tried his best to see the Insect Race creatures clearly through the sandstorm.

Through his blurred vision, he could vaguely make out that these Insect Race all had heavy shields in front of them.

Layer upon layer, they seemed even more indestructible than a city wall.

On either side of the shield, three pairs of sharp forelimbs protrude, gleaming with a cold light that sends chills down one's spine.

However, as the Insect Race gradually approached the city walls, the mayor of Shahai City was surprised to discover that these Insect Race were not the single individuals he had imagined.

It was a peculiar combination formed by two Insect Race tightly packed together!

This combination method was clearly carefully designed, and the fit is quite tight.

So much so that from a distance, they appear to be a single, naturally formed entity.

This combination retains the Insect Race's original powerful offensive capabilities while adding a layer of robust defense.

The mayor of the Shahai City couldn't help but marvel at the ingenuity of the Insect Hive.

Compared to the biological modification technology of the Demon Race, the Beastfolk, as the originator, is indeed more skilled.

They actually came up with such a clever way to modify Insect Race soldiers.

In reality, the energy required to produce an Insect Race individual with both excellent defensive and offensive capabilities is enormous.

Therefore, the Insect Race have always only bred offspring with one of the following traits.

However, if you separate these two traits to produce Insect Race with good defense and Insect Race with high attack power respectively, and then combine them in this unique way...

This would allow for a significant reduction in energy consumption without compromising the quality of soldiers.

However, the mayor of Shahai City was clearly unaware of these intricacies.

All he knew was that this Insect Race had surged towards the city walls like a black torrent.

Without hesitation, they raised their weapons and began hacking fiercely at the spot where the cavalry had just attacked.

"Boom--!"

The city walls trembled violently once more, the internal arrays flickered wildly, and the rate of Psychic Energy consumption increased dramatically.

Just as the mayor of Shahai City was on the verge of despair.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The Insect Race soldiers flying overhead suddenly plummeted down, crashing into the dense swarm of Zerg below, disrupting the Insect Race's offensive rhythm.

The sky, blocked by the swarm of insects, burst open with large holes, revealing the winged Demon Race soldiers above.

The Demon Race's air support has arrived.

Meanwhile, underground in the Shahai City.

Shisui completely took control of this huge six-story Laboratory.

This also explains why this place is called a "Laboratory" rather than a "research institute".

Apart from the sixth floor, which is separated and used for independent experiments, the five floors below are connected vertically in the center, forming a huge cylinder with a diameter of fifty meters.

The outer wall of the cylinder is made of transparent reinforced glass, and the interior is filled with a transparent solution.

By carefully sensing the faint light emanating from these solutions, Shisui could deduce that the concentration of Psychic Energy within them was extremely high.

In the center of these solutions, there was a giant black seaweed.

No, that shouldn't be called seaweed.

It looks more like a long, thin sea urchin, except that the sharp spines have been replaced by soft, slender, branch-like tentacles.

After reviewing Laboratory confidential internal documents salvaged from the shredder, Shisui roughly understood what this was.

Those were soulless chunks of flesh cultivated from parts of the Basket-Tailed Snake Species's body, and also the source of Undying Cells.

It is also the most important experimental material for the current main project of the Shahai Laboratory.

Although the documents here do not contain specific information about the Basket-Tailed Snake Species.

However, Shisui could sense that the aura emanating from this enormous piece of meat was no weaker than that of a Fifth Realm Heaven Realm.

It's easy to imagine how powerful its source is.

Shisui suspected that this was part of the Demon Race 'Heaven-Controlling Realm.

Suppressing his surging speculations, Shisui continued searching for information about the Eye of Madness in the Laboratory.

Information about the Eye of Madness is harder to find than I expected.

The Undying Cells were discovered first because two Laboratories were studying them.

Therefore, its materials are quite numerous and varied, to the point that countless important documents could not be destroyed in time.

But the Eye of Madness are different.

He was the core research project of the Shahai Laboratory, and he also caused a conflict between the Demon Race and the Beastfolk.

Therefore, its data is protected with exceptionally strict measures.

Even if something goes wrong, it will be prioritized for destruction.

Therefore, the Radiant Feathers released by Shisui searched every corner but could not find any information about the Eye of Madness.

They couldn't even find experimental materials for the research.

Knowing that continuing in this way would only be a waste of time, Shisui changed his search direction.

So, almost the next second, he caught the Laboratory director, who was shivering in the materials storage freezer.
