The insects had come.
The insects carried enormous blood cocoons to the riverbank, where they swayed like death gods summoning souls.
Everyone on the city wall went into combat readiness.
"Thirty blood cocoons in total! Your target is blood cocoon number three! Move, move, move!"
"At any cost!"
Lü Xiao Dao was assigned a mission. Numb-faced, he moved along with the main force.
He gripped his dagger tightly, his knuckles white and his facial muscles twisted with tension.
He had never experienced war.
Shouts rang out all around him, but his mind was numb.
By the time he came to his senses, he was already standing below the city wall, facing one golden beetle after another.
They were enormous, like tanks, and the ground rumbled beneath their movements.
Thirty beetles guarded a single blood cocoon.
By a rough estimate, they were far stronger than ordinary insects, with spiritual qi at least on the level of Sequence 8.
Lü Xiao Dao's group had around a hundred people. The insects had no advantage in numbers, but of those hundred people, only five were Awakened. The rest were ordinary people, including volunteers who had never received any training at all.
The insects had already crossed the river.
The din of battle already thundered from every other direction.
People and insects collided, blood and severed limbs flying. In the blink of an eye, bodies covered the river.
Yes!
Bodies piled on top of bodies.
Individually, the insects were indeed weaker than humans. The Land of Exiles had hundreds of millions of people, after all, as well as modern weapons supporting them from the air and ground, and Taboo Objects.
Even so, there were simply too many insects. They came in swarms that blotted out the sky.
The two sides were no longer on the
