The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 403 - 217: Accelerating Towards the Abyss_2

Plus, with the more efficient slaughter in melee, the casualty rate of the Dynasty Army almost directly tripled.

This suddenly doubled the pressure on the Dynasty Army.

Even the front lines were gradually pushed back because of it.

This made the demon beasts at the rear unable to hold on.

From the start of the battle until now, only half an hour has passed, and the number of their ordinary soldiers has already dropped below 800,000...

If this continues, even if morale holds with the blessing of the dynasty’s fortune, too many ordinary soldiers will perish, making it impossible to continue this battle.

"Transmit my command, Demon Beast Army, prepare to join the battle!

And you all, you should move as well!"

Throwing a token to the messenger, the Demon Beast Minister then addressed the Charm Contractor beside him.

If they do not act now, once the ordinary soldiers at the front collapse, even if he protects these high-level combat powers, it’s impossible to survive under the Insect Swarm.

If not now, then when!

The Charm Contractor understood the current situation and was already prepared, just waiting for permission.

After all, to gain high rewards, they ultimately still have to rely on killing enemies, but being restricted by the army, they have to obey orders, and were thus already "impatient".

Upon receiving permission, he immediately turned around to inform others.

"And you all, should also prepare."

Finally, leaving a word to those demon beast ministers like him on the other side, he turned his gaze back to the battlefield.

The demon beast ministers all around, though quite disdainful of him, knew now wasn’t the time to care.

As demon beasts, they are well-versed in most intelligence and even secrets of the Dynasty.

They naturally knew the dangers of the forward lines and understood that the baseline of their struggle was the continued existence of the Dynasty.

If the Dynasty falls, they would not only lose the blessing of its fortune and see their powers diminish, but would also become food for those bugs.

Just like the humans on their dining tables...

So, regardless of their distaste towards the commanding tone, they all individually agreed and stepped back to prepare.

—They hadn’t switched back to their beast forms in a long time and now felt a bit unfamiliar.

They must prepare thoroughly, guessing the bugs on the battlefield won’t give them time to adapt to their bodies.

They certainly wouldn’t risk their lives for a joke.

Soon enough, the Demon Beast Minister remained on the high platform and saw two forces joining in.

On one side was the Demon Beast Army composed entirely of demon beasts under his command, each reaching Tier Six in power, retaining their human forms but having trained so rigorously that their explosive power was comparable to their beast forms.

The other side was naturally the contractors participating in this battle.

Although they belonged to different factions, they all coincidentally chose the same tactic this time.

With their strong personal combat power, they chose to disperse and exert maximum impact.

With these Tier Six demon beasts and contractors joining, the decay of the front line was immediately halted.

But that’s not enough, soon, one contractor in the group raised their weapon, a visible dark aura began spreading.

Corpses left behind by the Insect Swarm started rising again, charging once more towards the swarm!

Approximately estimating, there were about a hundred thousand of these undead!

In that moment, the situation seemed to suddenly reverse.

However, the perpetrator of these undead felt a tinge of unease.

Just now, he was the most focused on the battle.

From the start till now, far more people had fallen than this.

Even by rough estimation, there were about 400,000, yet only a quarter had been summoned now.

Moreover, none of these undead included the Insect Swarm.

It should be known that his undead awakening ability was strongest in that it could summon a legion of undead without discriminating enemy or ally.

Using battle to sustain battle, eventually rolling into an undead apocalypse.

Yet now, no undead of the Insect Swarm appeared in his perception.

Either the battle just now didn’t cause many deaths among the swarm, or the corpses simply couldn’t meet the bare minimum requirements to be awakened as undead.

Or perhaps...

Could it be both?

Nevertheless, as an Undead Mage, his main task was to sustain the undead on the battlefield, not fight upfront.

Thus, he had ample time to seek the answer to the problem.

Finding it wasn’t difficult, he hadn’t even started searching, and the answer already sprang before him.

Being an Undead Mage, before starting his search, he habitually summoned several undead to guard his sides, but upon doing so, he noticed an abnormality.

Several of his undead had unknowingly become attached by patches of writhing shadow, which shockingly continued to move slowly!

If it weren’t awakened as undead and stood up, it would have been imperceptible on the ground amidst the darkness of the night.

Though he couldn’t recognize the true nature of these shadows, being a Contractor, he assessed straightforwardly from his panel what his summoning objects had undergone.

He discovered the real identity of the dark shadow covering his undead.

No, these weren’t shadows!

They were clearly blobs of writhing blood flesh!

[Fungus Blanket Attachment: Infected by the Insect Clan’s Fungus Blanket, losing 0.2% life limit per second, triggering an execution effect when the body is damaged to a certain extent]

The Fungus Blanket of the Insect Clan?

He immediately associated it with the dark blood flesh sprawling the areas occupied by the Insect Swarm, the same eerie blood flesh used to construct their defenses.
