"Attack!"
A few minutes later, 1,000 zerglings launched a charge from their designated positions.
The hydralisks fired a massive amount of acid to provide cover for these zerglings.
The lord's army's ultra-long spear hedgehog phalanx immediately became a target. Countless people quickly lost their ability to resist under the acid attack.
Next, they discovered a dense swarm of insects appearing on the front right of their legion.
"The right wing is heavily damaged! Second battalion, get up there!"
The legion commander roared in desperation as he looked at the dense crowd.
Unfortunately, the insects did not give him a chance to counterattack.
In the next moment, the lurkers released their blood-red blades, beginning a frenzied carving of the enemy.
The charging zerglings followed up, tearing gaps into the two spear phalanxes with a wedge-shaped formation.
The so-called second battalion of sword and shield infantry didn't have time to move up at all; they could only watch helplessly as the legion's right wing was completely breached.
"It's over."
Seeing this scene, the vanguard commander's heart sank completely.
Even though many people erupted with vitality and fought bravely with the zerglings, without the follow-up empowerment from the mages, the melee capabilities of these soldiers were clearly no longer enough.
As a result, the spear formation completely collapsed in just a single encounter.
After the charge tore through these two phalanxes, the zergling swarm continued forward, crashing into the second battalion, which had not yet changed its formation.
The 200 zerglings in the rear took the opportunity to turn north, coordinating with the main force in the north to form an encirclement around a large number of infantry.
Consequently, the legion's formation was completely thrown into chaos.
Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, the brain bug sent out three elite zergling squads to act as spearheads, driving into the middle of the enemy formation and severing it into several disconnected segments.
Under efficient tactical execution, the enemy completely collapsed in just five minutes.
"We won."
Xia Jin looked at the dense battlefield in the distance, a smile appearing on her face.
Although this vanguard battle was a bit difficult, she had still achieved a perfect victory.
Furthermore, the total force she committed to this battle was not much more than the enemy's.
The elven archers played a significant role.
"Brain bug, have the main force prepare to ambush the enemy."
The subsequent battles were also carried out according to plan.
By deploying the swarm to quickly cut off the vanguard's retreat route and annihilating them near the forest, the main force behind them might not necessarily learn about the vanguard's situation in time.
"According to the intelligence we've gathered, the enemy's main force still has 35,000 men, with a larger-scale mage unit and artillery. To deal with them, the total number of swarms I can mobilize is about the same size. Normally, this would be an evenly matched battle. However, based on my understanding, the enemy legion is mixed with a supply unit of 20,000 men. They are equipped with a large number of cannons that can provide powerful long-range support, so to win this battle, I need to rely on your strength." Xia Jin called over the four elves and spoke to them very seriously.
"No problem, Queen."
The leading Tier 7 elven girl nodded seriously. Xia Jin now knew her real name was Yan Yu. She was very skilled in light element magic, so her attacks had a very strong suppressing effect on darkness.
However, as a long-range unit, elves were somewhat weak in melee capability and protection. To ensure their safety, she began to consider assigning two zergling squads to protect them.
The task of these zerglings was simple: when an attack came, they would use their bodies to block everything for the elves.
Yan Yu was naturally very moved when she learned of Xia Jin's actions.
After all, the two sides couldn't even be considered the same species. This Zerg Queen clearly commanded such terrifying monsters, yet she was surprisingly friendly.
If it were them, the elves, although they could treat allies very kindly, it would still be impossible to go to this extent.
She didn't know yet that Xia Jin already considered these elves as her subordinates. Whether in terms of tactical or strategic value, the role of a high-tier elf was far greater than a group of cannon fodder insects.
If Yan Yu and the others hadn't dealt with the dangerous mage legion earlier, Xia Jin's insects would likely have suffered a lot more losses. Calculating it this way, protecting these elven girls was quite worthwhile.
"This wave of alliance with the elven race can be considered an established fact. However, in terms of location, the Zerg's current situation is indeed a bit troublesome. To the north are magic beasts, to the west of the Glowing Forest are also magic beasts, to the south is the kingdom, and in the middle is an underground world of unknown size."
Xia Jin's consciousness linked the entire swarm, mapping all the insects into a network and overlaying it onto the current map. It could be seen that approximately 30,000 insects had already completed their concentration.
Aside from the drones and the swarms in the city-state areas, the other insects mostly existed in small squads and were relatively scattered from each other.
This structure was naturally designed to facilitate expansion; each squad could quickly discover wild beasts in their respective directions and then capture them.
These roaming squads were also more likely to detect attackers from different directions. If the Count sent an army for a sneak attack, a squad might be able to notice it in advance.
And from the current situation, the other side seemed determined to concentrate their forces for a head-on decisive battle with the swarm.
