Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge-Chapter 574 - 376: The Reluctant Retreat of the Insect Race Leader!

Mechanical lifeforms were a different case altogether.

When the Queen Insect consumed them, it took much more energy to digest the bodies of mechanical lifeforms, and the resulting offspring also required more energy.

While mechanical insects had strong defensive capabilities and attack power, their potential was extremely low. They could grow at most to the peak of the order of strength they were produced with, and advancing beyond that was extremely difficult.

Thus, the insect swarm did not favor mechanical species either.

To destroy the Lord’s Mansion, one would have to wager everything and penetrate directly through the undead in the territory.

As for killing this Lord of Death, given its wariness and ability to cling to life, it was estimated that there was hardly any possibility of that happening.

Through the vision of the insect swarm, its leader had indeed seen the spacecraft flash by above the territory.

With the speed of that spacecraft, if the Lord of Death wished to flee, the insect swarm had no ability to intercept it.

This left the insect swarm leader in immense frustration for a time, unable to issue new commands.

And a large number of insects had already begun to surge into Zi Liyuan’s territory from all directions.

There was no choice, as the two "Death Tide" skills nearly wiped out all the lower-order insects. What remained were either insects of the third order or higher or those that followed the BOSS template.

These powerful insects breached the territory, and the walls that were not yet fully built provided no resistance, quickly being destroyed and left in ruins.

The undead and the insects once again clashed fiercely.

The battle this time became even more brutal.

The insects shattered to pieces and the undead torn apart were both common sights in the territory.

For a time, both the undead and the insect horde saw their casualties skyrocket.

Just then, a third "Death Tide" surged forth again.

The immense Power of Death turned into an energy tide that once more swept across the field, spreading outward.

Within a radius of 100,000 meters, the energy of death scoured the skies, the earth, and the ground below, all corroded by the force of death.

The anguished cries of innumerable insects echoed across the entire battlefield.

This wave of the skill’s impact wiped out another clean million insects.

Danger!

The ordinary insects of the third and fourth order sensed the crisis of death and plunged into madness, charging frantically toward the source of death.

They knew that if they could not quickly breach this territory and destroy the Lord’s Mansion, then death was the only path that awaited them!

At this moment, the insect swarm leader had already made up its mind. It sent out all the powerful insects in its possession, ordering a fierce assault on the territory!

It was all-or-nothing!

If they lost, they would simply have to find a quiet place to lie low and continue to accumulate strength.

If they won, they would immediately break away from the New World and enter the Sea of Realms, gaining resources to ascend.

In the end, what trapped the insect swarm leader in this New World were the summons from the Sea Sky Path.

Its strength had been at a standstill as a Sixth Order Legendary, for far too long, so long that it saw no hope of breaking through into the Holy Domain.

The Sea Sky Path offered it a glimmer of hope to break through: to become a target for a new Lord’s experience in the Sea of Realms.

Although it still possessed the strength of a Sixth Order Legendary BOSS at its peak, it was equally suppressed by the rules.

The strength it could utilize was only equivalent to that of a Lord of this New World.

If it weren’t for the presence of two Fourth Order Peak Legendary BOSSes in Zi Liyuan’s territory, it would have personally charged out and beaten Lord Zi to death.

But now, the situation was rather awkward; most of the insect swarm leaders were tacticians, not proficient in direct combat.

Moreover, now that their strength was restricted to the Fourth Order Peak, many of their abilities were unusable.

Asking it to 1V2 and defeat two Fourth Order Peak Legendary BOSSes was really too much to expect.

After entering the Sea of Realms and having limited development time, they couldn’t cultivate legendary BOSS template insects.

To defeat the two Legendary BOSSes in Purple Abyss Territory, they could only rely on the high-end combat power of the insect horde.

In a short time, it had managed to raise more than thirty Fourth Order Epic Boss insects, but that was the limit.

The disparity in information led to a strategic miscalculation by the insect swarm leader.

The main reason was that after summoning a host of BOSSes, Zi Liyuan let Orochi lead the trio of Hydra Monsters to the river up north to tackle the dungeon.

From yesterday afternoon, this one Legendary and three Epic BOSSes hadn’t shown themselves, and they hadn’t returned to this moment.

And the insect swarm, which had started preparing to attack Purple Abyss Territory since last night, had not explored the situation by the northern river, hence they were utterly unaware of the omission of one Legendary and three Epic BOSSes.

Had it known that there were currently three Legendary BOSSes and fifteen Epic BOSSes within Purple Abyss Territory, it would definitely have chosen to retreat and conserve its strength.

After all, the insect race’s development in this wave had nearly exhausted the resources it had brought from the lower worlds into the Sea of Realms.

An erroneous judgment naturally led to an increase in unforeseen events.

When Zi Liyuan’s fourth "Death Tide" skill once again swept through a 100,000-meter radius...

...the insect horde suffered horrendous casualties.

With this wave, millions of insects perished, leaving only the BOSS insects standing; all ordinary insects of Fourth Order and below were completely annihilated.

On the vast land, layers upon layers of insect corpses piled up, hiding the ground from sight.

The charge of the insect horde, under the erosion of this wave of the power of death, directly broke through several lines of defense.

The army of the undead wouldn’t miss this rare opportunity. Under Kulong’s command, they shifted from a defensive stance to being the aggressors.
