Chapter 4464, gnawing
After confirming the latest intelligence feedback from the battlefield on Planet 7, the generals of the expeditionary force looked solemn as they looked at the super-giant insect with its abyss opening in the image.
This type of zerg has been used by the opponent in previous battles, so they know how difficult this type of zerg is.
The threat of these super-giant bugs has undoubtedly reached a strategic level, and their name is 'Gnawers!'
It is very concise and clear. The abyssal mouth that is so big that it occupies one third of his body has fully explained to everyone the fundamental reason why it is called this name!
From a level perspective, Gnawers are on the same level as Void Burrowers and Void Centipedes.
Although units at the same strategic level are both strong and weak, it is difficult to say which one is definitely better than the other, because their specific positioning on the battlefield is fundamentally different.
Void burrowers and void centipedes are collectively referred to as void troops. Their mission on the battlefield is simply to cut through the back row or provide quick support. Basically, they are unlikely to charge directly to the front.
The Gnawer does not have the ability to travel through space, so its positioning in a war is often concentrated on the frontal battlefield, and its main job is to confront the enemy's main force head-on!
From this point alone, the difference between the three is already very obvious.
Now in this void battlefield, a sizable army of gnawers has brought a powerful impact to this battlefield that cannot be ignored while entering the battlefield.
The tentacles flew out wildly from the huge mouth of the abyss and quickly grabbed the ghost ship that was trying to avoid their gnawing.
Faced with this battle, the ghost ships erupted in will-o'-the-wisps, trying to use the will-o'-the-wisp's attack to grab their tentacles and release their drag and restraint.
However, the Gnawer obviously has stronger defense and physique than the Void Centipede. Even though the tentacles extend from its mouth and are not covered with a hard carapace, they still show full tenacity.
At least the will-o'-the-wisp burn, which had a good effect on the Void Centipede, did not show a very good effect when it hit the gnawer's tentacles. Those tentacles were still tightly wrapped around the ghost ship's hull.
The suction cup on it cannot be torn apart no matter how much the ghost ship's arms tear it apart.
Facing the ghost ship, the predators that rushed up showed an overwhelming advantage in size and strength!
In fact, in the previous battles, the fleet of their expeditionary force had fallen into the mouth of this gnawer.
However, compared to the vast majority of zerg, the number of these gnawers is undoubtedly not that large. The difficulty and cost of cultivation should also be among the highest among zerg, so the opponent will often not gnaw them as soon as they come up.
Eaters enter the battlefield.
Under normal circumstances, the Void Zerg will wait until the insect swarm completely pounces on the enemy's face and engage in a melee with the enemy before sending the Eaters into the field, so as to maximize the value of the Eaters.
.
But this time, the commander on the opposite side obviously did not follow the usual routine.
It can also be seen from this that the Void Zerg are determined to suppress the expeditionary army here.
Indeed, the battle on Planet 7 has become a key point in this war to a certain extent.
If the expeditionary army can win a victory here, it can seize the opportunity to regroup, set its own pace, and compete for dominance with the Zerg army again.
On the other hand, if they are suppressed by the Zerg army and allow the Zerg army to break through a certain planet before them, resulting in the fall of a certain planet, then there will be gaps in their defense line connected by planets in this area.
, the morale of the army will also take another blow, making the expedition army's already poor condition even worse.
Therefore, on this side of the battlefield, both armies have no intention of retreating even half a step!
At this moment, facing the Gnawers who have overwhelming advantages in all aspects, the Hundred Demon Legion cannot sit still and wait for death.
Before the ghost ship was completely dragged into the mouth of the eater, subtle distortions began to appear in the void around the ghost ship.
The next moment, the tentacles dragging the ghost ship seemed to have been cut at high speed by some invisible sharp blade. With the appearance of wounds, blue-green viscous liquid continued to flow from the wounds of the tentacles.
Splash out!
However, most of the wounds here are relatively shallow. Only a few can leave relatively deep wounds with one blow, but the advantage is that the frequency of attacks is extremely high.
The appearance of wounds and the increase in the number of wounds have greatly reduced the toughness of these tentacles.
Under this premise, subsequent cutting attacks were carried out, coupled with the tearing force of the ghost ship's arms, finally, the tough tentacles began to break!
As these tentacles break, the drag force decreases, allowing the ghost ship to move more freely than before.
Regarding this situation, the gnawers undoubtedly noticed it immediately.
At the same time, it has a lot of intelligence, and it also knows in its heart that there is an enemy attacking the tentacles in its mouth.
If it cannot deal with the enemies attacking its tentacles, even if it grabs the ghost ship with its tentacles, it will be broken by the opponent.
After understanding this point, the tentacles that flew out from the depths of the gnawer's mouth no longer dragged the ghost ship in front of them, but started to dance wildly in the area like a long whip.
The number of those tentacles is astonishing. Once they are waved, the space for movement in the entire space will be greatly reduced.
During this period, the broken parts of the tentacles that had been torn off before slowly grew new tips during the process of crazy squirming, showing an astonishing ability to regenerate themselves.
There are countless tentacles like this in the gnawer's mouth, which makes the gnawer actually not care about a small number of tentacles being torn off.
Not to mention those tentacles that have regrown their tips, even those tentacles that have been cut off in part, the gnawer waved them without hesitation, letting them join in its crazy tentacle attack, letting the pieces of
Within the limited space, the activity space becomes even narrower, and even the activity space is almost lost.
Facing this formation, those fast-attack figures who had already rushed up crazily had to retreat, and in the process, their true identities were revealed.
They were slender figures wrapped in black assassin suits, but they were not human. Through the fur on their hands and feet, the tail behind them, and some vague features on their faces, it could be roughly determined that their appearance was very similar to that of a weasel.
resemblance.
