Emerald Bug Nest.
By then, the breach in the First Energy Barrier had widened to a hundred zhang, making it practically no different from a collapse.
Chi Ling stood atop a Starship Wreckage with a longsword in hand. Her silver-white battle armor was already smeared with dark green slime.
Before her stretched a Sea of Bugs with no end in sight.
The Bug Race came in all shapes and forms. There were giant beetles whose shells were as hard as alloy...
There were many-legged centipedes, winding and crawling through the void...
There were also floating jellyfish that gave off a strange odor, making anyone who smelled it dizzy despite themselves...
They surged forward together like a black flood, able to swallow everything in an instant.
Behind her, the warriors desperately used repair engineering ships to patch the Energy Barrier, but the repair speed was far behind the rate of destruction.
"Commander Chi, the right-wing defense line has collapsed. Our Third Regiment... has been wiped out..."
"Commander Chi, the left wing is requesting support. We're about to be unable to withstand the Bug Race Army's assault..."
"The central line is showing signs of collapse as well... It can probably hold for half an hour at most..."
"..."
One bad report after another came through the communications channel, making Chi Ling's expression even graver.
"Hold on for another quarter of an hour!"
"As long as we hold for fifteen minutes, the reinforcements from the other Garrison Areas and Heavenly Palace will arrive!"
"Once they do, everyone will be saved!"
After issuing her orders through the channel,
Chi Ling gritted her teeth and swept out with her longsword. A sword light that spanned the void flashed forth.
The Bug Race within several dozen li collapsed in a swath.
However, the next second,
"Buzz!"
