The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 408 - 218 Queen! I’m Not a Bug Anymore! (6k)_3

However, the Contractors are already facing the Insect Swarm that has held back slightly due to Bai Yi’s command.

The ones feeling a more significant change are undoubtedly the Demon Beasts, who didn’t require the Insect Swarm to hold back.

Those insects that were once killed in a single blow and thus kept their distance suddenly stopped hiding and actively rammed forward.

But attacking in the previous manner, they found it was no longer possible to kill these Insect Swarm whose original appearances could not be discerned.

Instead, their weapons were seized by the Insect Swarm’s thick shield after the attack, and the sharply elongated limbs from behind pierced them.

A strange energy spread through the limbs, seemingly aiming to annihilate their bodies.

The two insect creatures, having changed in form, cooperated seamlessly as if they were one person’s left and right hands.

And while these two Insect Clans entangled, from afar, the ones who had transformed their bodies into Magic Power Guns, no, at this moment should be called Magic Cannons, of the Insect Clan had completed charging.

A shot filled with the taste of annihilation was fired.

Even the demon beasts shielded by additional fate due to their "official position" felt a strong threat.

But in a restrained situation, they could only withstand it.

Only a few demon beasts were decisive enough to discard their weapons, thus avoiding the shot.

And those demon beasts that didn’t avoid the shot, although not severely injured, compared to the previous harmless gunfire, this obviously hurt them.

It even felt like if this continued a few more times, they might really be taken down!

Feeling threatened, they became a bit uncertain, dodging the following attacks while trying to retreat, relying on a few defense-oriented magic cultivator demon beasts.

But it wasn’t just them; the magic cultivator demon beasts behind them also suffered the same treatment.

The heavy shield-formed Insect Swarm pressed closer with force, creating opportunities for both melee and ranged Insect Swarm.

Moreover, unlike the body cultivation demon beasts that can rely on strong bodies to have a decent margin of error, they cannot withstand many cannon strikes!

The situation, which could have been a fifty-fifty match, gradually tilted again with the enlightenment and tactical shifts of the Insect Swarm.

By this time, this battlefield had already become a ground for the Insect Swarm to test new tactics, and these Tier Six demon beasts have become subjects for testing.

This shift in the balance of war was immediately noticed by the Demon Beast Minister on the high platform at the rear. freёwebnoѵel.com

The battlefield had somewhat gotten out of his control, or rather, had long since gotten away, but he had been unwilling to admit it.

His troops were being drained continuously, with ordinary soldiers already more than half depleted.

Even those mixed in, holding positions like Centurion and Chiliarch, who are usually regarded as human "superiors," the Tier Five demon beasts did not receive any special treatment in war.

They too became just numbers, just like regular soldiers.

Even his proud Demon Beast Army, and those mysterious but powerful outsiders, had all been fed into this meat grinder.

And those Martial Artists from the Martial World had been integrated into the army before the war even started.

But all ended with the same result; they hardly made a splash.

Numerous court ministers accompanying the army, his colleagues, made their moves but only brought a fleeting advantage.

And this slight advantage had completely disappeared just now.

In contrast, the Insect Swarm seemed to show no perceptible consumption, still covering the sky like never before.

The first batch of those terrible weapons, despite being seen landing among the Insect Swarm’s formations, seemed to have no effect, with their strength unabated and no sight of morale dropping.

Now, with almost all his cards played, the only thing left was to continue using the Emperor’s power of fate to prolong this war a bit longer.

It seemed the outcome of this battle had long been sealed, beyond salvation...

Wait a moment!

There might be another power to utilize!

He suddenly recalled another source from which he could borrow strength!

Since Martial Artists can act along with ordinary soldiers, what about those cultivators hiding in the mountains and forests?

Even though they have retreated to the mountains and forests, indifferent to worldly matters, now that the dynasty is facing an unbeatable enemy, they should act!

Thinking of this, he felt as if he had grasped a lifeline and quickly issued an order:

"Quick, seek out the Six Immortal Mountains to come forth and save the nation!"

Even he knew, even if they could muster another group of Tier Six experts as formidable as his colleagues, it would be the maximum.

But there is still hope!

If they gathered every last remaining Tier Six expert, combined with those Immortal Mountain cultivators, maybe they could really put up a fight!

After all, looking at the battlefield’s situation, the Insect Swarm is unlike an ordinary enemy; their strong Life Force could hardly be terminated without true Tier Six experts!

Didn’t his colleagues gain the upper hand once they took action just now?

If only they could hold on until the Immortal Mountain cultivators arrived, maybe...

The Demon Beast Minister had a very hopeful thought, but he overlooked a most obvious reality.

That is, his colleagues may not be able to hold out until those cultivators came to aid.

If it had been earlier, before the Insect Swarm suddenly realized and changed tactics, gathering cultivators to act alongside the Demon Beast Minister, perhaps they might have really had a chance to severely damage the Insect Swarm.

But now, not to mention his colleagues have already been fighting for a while, heavily consumed, and a few are nearly besieged to death by the tactically adjusted Insect Swarm.
