The rift stretching across the heavens expanded wildly, drawing every gaze.
The sounds of carapaces scraping and colliding grew clearer.
The next second, an Insect Tide blotted out the sky, pouring down like a celestial river bursting its banks.
Piercing screeches resounded through this space.
Screee!!!
Hundreds of millions of insects beat their wings, ground their teeth, and screeched in unison, their overlapping soundwaves becoming a wave of mental impact that swept the battlefield.
This was different from ordinary screeching.
It was a soundwave rule the Insect Race had never used on the Village Entrance Battlefield before.
It completely countered the fragile bodies of data lifeforms, and great swathes of Virtual Legion warriors disintegrated beneath the soundwaves.
The next moment, the sea of insects surged forward imperiously, opening descent corridors through the air.
Troop types of every description appeared in succession.
Giant Siege Bugs comparable in size to mechanical war fortresses sent molten earth splashing as they landed.
Then came Needle Bugs, Rending Bugs, the Death Crystalwing Order, Acid Bugs, Banelings, Thunder Lord Titans, Tyrant Bugs-insect troop types of every shape packed together in dense, overlapping layers.
They were considered the biggest "dumbasses" by the three sides at the village entrance.
The Insect Race craved war as humans needed to breathe. They did not pursue efficiency in war, preferring to fight according to their frenzied lust for slaughter.
Players on the Forum had summarized the styles of their two old neighbors at the village entrance.
The Evil Spirit Alliance, led by the Di Nian Evil Spirit, was a bunch of sly, scheming bastards.
They played meek in the village, locking their doors with the Natural Disaster Wall every day. If a neighbor came knocking to say hello, they brought out countless disgusting tricks from their tactical arsenal-traps, deception, disguises, ambushes.
