"Look at that exaggerated evil storm. The Mantids are doing something dangerous. It seems they really feel the pressure."
The power projection of Diakum stands on a hill in Dread Wastes, looking in the direction of Klaxxi'vess.
With the support of several Shadow Hunterss, the consciousness of Vigilant who came here can clearly see that Shadowstalker Bugss from all directions are encircling them in a "whole army hurrah" manner.
It is no exaggeration to say that the wasteland is "rolling" as far as the eye can see.
It was the posture of countless springtails gathering together and marching, and the sky was even more exaggerated. The ominous sky here that should have been black and white had been completely blocked by the improved flying dragons that blocked the sky and the sun, and there were also some larger flying insects mixed in.
That is Advanced Form designed by Gene Master for Feilong.
It is larger in size, more destructive, and more ferocious in temperament. It also contains flying dragon pheromones that can automatically form an air formation and serve as the core of air combat without the need for Swarm Lord instructions.
It should have the appearance of a "classic Devourer", but due to the addition of Mantid's superior genes, these advanced flying dragons have become unrecognizable to Diakum.
But this is a good thing.
Vigilant laughed and said to General Staghelm beside him:
"The swarm of insects under Anveena's command has become somewhat of a "swallowing all things" aura. What is your assessment of this?"
"All I can say is that there is still a lot of room for improvement."
General Staghelm's evaluation is a little harsh.
But people have really seen how the insect swarm under Overmind fights. In contrast, Ms. Anveena still has too many personal emotions attached to her command of the insect swarm.
Not ruthless enough, not efficient enough, not cold enough.
This seriously interferes with the destructive power that the swarm should have, but considering that the battle against Mantid is not simply "annihilation", this situation is acceptable for now.
"They are about to set off to find Heart of Y'Shaarj. Shadow Chasing Swarm will stay in Dread Wastes to deal with the troubles of Mantid, so the task of tracking those heroes is left to you."
Vigilant said to General Staghelm:
"The self-test and weapon system enhancement of Exodar spacecraft in Isle of Thunder is about to be completed. I will go to Vale of Eternal Blossoms to join you tomorrow at the latest.
Don't be too aggressive, Fandral Staghelm, the heart of the ancient gods is a very dangerous creation of the void. Even if you have Swarm Mind to protect your soul, it is still difficult to maintain your sanity under such erosion.
Track, locate and send the message, and then wait for me to come and solve it."
"As commanded."
Fandral Staghelm nodded, and then asked:
"We noticed Gate of the Setting Sun, which is suspected to be directly connected to Vale of Eternal Blossoms. It is the most majestic pass on the magnificent Great Wall of Serpent's Spine. Mantid will definitely attack there. Blackguard Warrior and Cloud Serpent Riders guarding there may not be able to resist it. Do you need to help them?"
"Don't worry Gate of the Setting Sun."
Diakum took one last look at the swarm of insects that had begun to attack Klaxxi'vess's amber sonic shield. In the background of the brutal fight between two groups of ferocious insects, he said:
"Taran Zhu leader is a leader with a plan, and those Darkwalkers who are eager to return from the darkness to the sunshine have also taken action.
Pandaren can control their own destiny, and all we have to do is admire their struggle and congratulate them on their victory.
Take action."
Vigilant's projections Dispersion and General Staghelm also pulled up their shadow hoods and gestured forward. The Shadow Hunterss behind them jumped on the flying insects beside them and took off into the air.
In this sea of insects that blocks out the sky and sun, they blend in perfectly.
Just like a person walking against the current in a lightless night, he has already merged into the night, but he is still pursuing the dawn.
At the same time, Gate of the Setting Sun is on.
The Blackguard Warrior who have been stationed here all year round have all been mobilized on the city wall. In this huge pass, General Lao Yang is holding a Pandaren War Bow and carrying a pot of heavy arrows specially used to hunt Mantid, patrolling the battlefield.
The face of this old general who had spent his whole life on Serpent's Spine was very serious.
From Gate of the Setting Sun, he could directly see the situation of Dread Wastes. He knew that there were strange swarms of insects that were attacking Mantid in the past few days. This situation was reported immediately, but the leader of Taran Zhu personally gave instructions to Blackguard not to worry.
This unusual answer made General Yang uneasy, and now, his worst fears had come true.
Mantid was obviously no match for the more ferocious insect swarm, but these guys actually made a desperate move, gathered their elites, and started to attack Gate of the Setting Sun.
"They want to enter Vale of Eternal Blossoms!"
General Yang's staff officer, Lorewalkers, who was fully armed with a long sword, whispered:
"And this attack is completely different from the previous Great Cycle. Those who came up before were all Mantid's "Colony Worm", which are their fragile larvae. They can only truly mature if they survive the death battle of Great Cycle.
However, this time those who came up were all elite adult individuals of Mantid.
The intensity of the battle will be crazy.
Call for help, General.
Move the defenders on the Valley of the Four Winds city wall over! Otherwise, we alone won't be able to withstand it."
"If you can't stand it, you have to stand it!"
Old Pandaren took pictures of the city wall masonry in front of him that had experienced countless Great Cycle and was covered with scratches, and he said:
"It will take time for the Valley of the Four Winds defenders to move over. What's more, they went to Kun-Lai Summit for support before. Our brothers are very tired. In contrast, the Gate of the Setting Sun defenders have been waiting for work.
We did not participate in Kun-Lai Summit's battle because Sect Leader Zhu knows how important the place we guard is!
Sect Leader Zhu and Supreme Celestial Gods will come as soon as possible, but it is the mission and obligation of our soldiers to stay here until the last moment."
"General, a strange guy appeared on the city wall. He asked to see you and said he had brought us reinforcements."
A Warrior rushed over and reported the news, which made General Lao Yang raise his eyebrows.
He discussed with his adjutant for a few words, and then the two of them went outside Gate of the Setting Sun. At a monitoring post, he saw the visitor.
That is a very "pretentious" Pandaren.
The latter was wearing full night clothes and a black gauze hat. He stood with one foot on the city wall, arms folded over his shoulders, and a black scarf flying behind him in the chilling wind.
Although it's very pretentious, don't tell me, this kind of dressing does have a "master style".
General Lao Yang blinked and looked at the opponent. After noticing the opponent's claw blade weapon and the row of plum blossom darts on his waist, he grinned and scolded:
"What are the rats from Jade Lotus doing here on Serpent's Spine? This is not the place you should be! Twelve years ago, Madam Goya's husband was beheaded by my own hands for reselling military supplies! What? Does that "Jade-Faced Fox" want revenge?"
"My wife said that Old General Yang did the right thing in that matter. She had repeatedly warned Big Dragon Head not to reach out to Blackguard, but Big Dragon Head was so greedy that he did the trouble. Jade Lotus must be grateful to Old General Yang for not pursuing the matter to the end and giving us a way out."
Jade Lotus Ninja Master who came to deliver the letter said in a dumb voice:
"I'm here to send Madam Goya a message to Old General Yang. Gate of the Setting Sun There's no need to worry about defense! Everyone from me Jade Lotus has rushed here to ensure that the pass is not lost."
"Huh?"
Old Pandaren looked at this guy suspiciously.
The latter didn't explain much, just measured the cards hidden in his hand.
It is obviously the latest identification card, with the logo of Jade Lotus, as well as the stamps of Golden Lotus and Shado-Pan.
Now the truth is revealed.
After working for a long time, these mice running in the dark were actually "cleaned up". No wonder Jade Lotus's activities were much lower-key during this period.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, even the mice have the desire to serve the country, so I can't cut off your good path. But I'm going to say something ugly in front of you. Those who climb the city wall are my soldiers!"
Old Pandaren scolded:
"Whatever I ask you to do, do it honestly! If Gate of the Setting Sun can do it, you will have a share of the credit. If this place falls into the hands of Mantid, it will be a beautiful thing for everyone to bury Xiongguan together."
"As it should be."
Ninja Master turned around and bowed, then disappeared from the monitoring post in the rising smoke.
"General, I heard that Jade Lotus's puppet masters are good at using Jade Golem's secret techniques. With those big guys, holding the pass is not a big problem, but"
Lorewalkers staff officer said worriedly:
"We are not afraid of anyone in a ground battle. The problem is that Mantid can fly. The flying dragon knights may not be able to block every flying insect, just in case an enemy elite takes advantage of the chaos and sneaks in."
"Then what can I do?"
The old general rolled his eyes and said:
"It's great to be able to hold on to the pass. We are just soldiers, not gods. Let the elite heroes who cross the pass be left to the heroes of Shado-Pan. Looking at Mantid's posture, you can tell that their plans are very big this time, and that is not something we big-headed soldiers should worry about.
The sky is falling, but there are tall people holding it up."
"Woooooooo"
The low sound of the horn echoed on the ancient city wall, causing Old Yang to grab Ancient War Bow behind him.
With an arrow in his hand, he fired lightning, and a Mantid warrior who had just flown over was pierced through the head with a roar. The sharp arrow not only killed the guy, but finally nailed him to Gate of the Setting Sun's city gate.
Lorewalkers Staff Officer also drew his sharp sword, and Blackguard's war cry resounded throughout the place of war. At this time, the sun was setting in the sky like blood, which fit the name of this pass.
An inch of city wall, an inch of blood, thousands of years of battles and thousands of years of glory.
"Ah"
The roar of pain echoed in the underground secret hall of Klaxxi'vess. Korven the Prime stood under the pillar of Sha of Pride, letting the blue evil energy essence pour into its body.
The latest ⊥ little ⊥ talk ⊥ is first posted on ⊥⊥⊥!
The ominous smoke surrounded him like an evil dragon, pouring into Exalted One's mouth and nostrils.
The power of arrogance makes it float in the air, moving its body weirdly like a puppet on strings. This is "fusion" in the true sense, like some kind of sacrificial ceremony, turning the Mantid heroes into the "Jinchuriki" of the Shas.
On the one hand, they need to use this method to bring the essence of Sha to Heart of Darkness to restore Overmind's strength.
On the other hand, without the "ultimate enhancement" of Sha, with the current combat effectiveness of the heroes, encountering such an obstruction as Four Celestials would basically be lifeless. This is Mantid's ten thousand-year-old Great Cycle's final assault.
It's now time to bring out all the good things, it's no longer the time to hide them.
"Ah!"
Exalted One let out another painful roar.
At some point later, the blue evil energy surrounding it suddenly Dispersion, as if it was completely sealed within Yingjie's body.
It landed on the ground, turned over deftly, and half-knelt in the ceremony in a "superhero-like landing" posture.
Exalted One gasped, and with every breath, its tempered body carapace would have evil runes similar to blue tattoos on Gleam, as if it was equipped with a cool Led light strip.
That feeling of power is impacting Exalted One's mind.
An arrogance of "Invincible in the world" was rising, but was suppressed by Korven's strong reason.
It stretched out its claws to grab its scarlet amber crescent ax, and then glanced at the heroes who were recovering one by one behind it.
Wind Reaver carries doubt, Clear-Minded One carries despair, Poisonheart carries hatred, Bloodseeker carries fear, Gluttonous Locust carries arrogance, and Manipulator carries anger.
These emotions strengthened them, allowing them to transcend the life stage of demigods and reach a quite powerful level.
The two failed heroes, Blood Summoner Ni'lak and Summoner of the Dead Qi'tar, are not too sad. As you can tell by their names, these two heroes' abilities are more focused on group combat, and they are not suitable for such long-distance elite raids.
"Kara The outskirts of Sivis have been completely occupied by that Shadow Chasing Swarm. They have become overwhelming and are devouring us Mantid. Grand Empress in a crazy manner. The life and death of is unknown, the new Colony Worm can no longer be hatched, and the originally prepared Grand Empress candidate also fell into the hands of Shadowstalker Bugs when the palace fell.
Whether we are willing to admit it or not, Mantid's civilization has reached a moment of life and death."
The great elder Klaxxi wa·Ik was leaning on a Amber Halberd, and he said to the seven heroes who were ready:
"Without further delay, you set out immediately. The commander of the cult has led a large army to attack Gate of the Setting Sun. The Terror Insect Elder "Elder Lei" will smash the city wall there, forcing Pandaren to focus all their attention on the ground war.
And Air Commander Remok will entangle Cloud Serpent Riders for you, and then lead the reserve heroes to rush into Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
Take this with you!"
It handed Blade of the Black Empire to Korven the Prime and warned:
"Use it to awaken Heart of Darkness of Overmind. If Overmind needs a body, then"
"I will do anything for my clan's belief Consecration!"
Exalted One said loudly.
It is the first hero in history. It was he who combined the amber juice of Kypari Tree with his own regeneration ability to develop the most original "Amber Regeneration" secret technique.
It is precisely because of this secret technique that Mantid has been able to retain the most powerful Warriors born in each era for thousands of years. It is also because of this secret technique that the elders can pass on wisdom, knowledge and faith in endless time.
It can be said that Amber Technology is the foundation of Mantid civilization.
From this point of view, it is respected as "Exalted One". This exaggerated name is well deserved. Even Gluttonous Locust, the most arrogant among the heroes, is respectful in front of Exalted One.
This is why Mantid is a matriarchal society. Otherwise, given Korven's reputation, as long as it is willing, those Mantid Warrior who grew up listening to its stories can definitely help it ascend to the throne of "Exalted Mantid King".
Exalted One turned around and warned the two heroes who decided to stay in Klaxxi'vess and protect Elder Council:
"We must hold on! Protect the elders and we will wake up Overmind as soon as possible."
"Please rest assured, Exalted One."
Summoner of the Dead Qi'tar waved his amber staff, which could control spores to control death. Mantid continued to fight, and could also perform "limb splicing" to shape strange insects. He replied in a sharp voice:
"We will stick to Holy Land until the last moment. We have used precious amber to create several layers of protection for Holy Land. Even in the worst case, we can persist for at least three days, which is enough for you to wake up Overmind.
As long as the spirit of Mantid is revived, all disasters will be over in an instant."
This sounds like a bit of "blind faith" in the power of Overmind, but considering that Mantid has been promoted like this for more than 10,000 years, it is not easy to care about whether this kind of "civilization rises and falls, in one fell swoop" behavior of betting on the country's running is appropriate.
When the seven heroes walked out of the secret hall with a powerful aura, the elders of the entire Kara Sivis saw them off in person.
Those carefully crafted Sha-Touched Weapon were handed over to their hands, and the finest Amber Armor were covered on the powerful bodies of the heroes. The reserve heroes who were selected by the war followed their predecessors with an attitude of worship.
When they drank the drink brewed with amber juice for the last time and raised their elytra to fly into the sky, thousands of powerful Mantid Warrior also took off together.
Under the command of Elder Council, the entire Klaxxi'vess city defense quickly shifted to a strategic contraction, striving to survive Shadowstalker Bugs's siege until the glorious moment of Overmind's recovery.
But in fact, these elders who have recited the Ten Thousand Years Sutra really don't care anymore.
They have been fighting for the ideal of "resurrecting Overmind" throughout their long lives. This is the case with their wanton behavior in suppressing Grand Empress. This is the same with sending generations of young Mantid to Great Cycle's battlefield with their own hands. This is also the case with their painstaking efforts to create heroes.
Although abusing Kyparian Amber to extend life is indeed suspected of being "greedy for life and afraid of death", to be honest, if these Mantid elders are compared with the careerists and believers of other races, these guys can be called "Saint".
They don't have much selfish desires.
Because of this, when they finally saw the hope of Great Cycle's last day, these elderly elders burst out with a more fanatical fighting will than Mantid Warrior.
Whether they can survive or not is no longer important, what is important is that Overmind must return!
In the posture of a martyr, he fell on the eve of the resurrection of the gods.
Well, what a glorious ending.
At the same time, at the other end of Dread Wastes.
Grand Empress In the palace that had turned into the main insect nest, Anveena listened to the report of the flying insect scout. She shook her head and said:
"I really don't understand the brain circuits of those Mantid elders. They created seven powerful demigods. If these heroic demigods are sent to the battlefield, it will be really difficult to eat them in a short time without the king beast.
But they sent seven demigods away."
"Normal people should not think about the brain circuits of fanatic believers, Anveena, and there is no need to try to empathize with them."
Jarod reminded:
"And even if there are seven demigod heroes, what can they do? Shadowstalker Bugs The situation is established, and it is nothing more than delaying the time of destruction. Mantid made a choice, and they chose to resist to the end.
It's time for you to make a decision."
"Well, then use the hole card Shekzeer left for us!"
Queen of Blades nodded. She was quite high-spirited at this moment, just like the leaders who commanded the army towards the final battle.
She said loudly:
"Then let the Mantids return to the embrace of the swarm. If they want Great Cycle, we will give them the more glorious Eternal Great Cycle. What's the point of hiding in Pandaria and fighting with Pandaren?
A martial group like Mantid should go to crazier battlefields and fight to the death with crazier enemies!
I'm sure that Overmind, the "war maniac", will absolutely love these Warrior who are seeking honor in the pursuit of death, and my "Saviors Swarm" will also be proud of them in the future! The mother of all things in the world will also recognize them as a member of "Child of the World"."
