In a coastal town on the east coast of the Augu Empire in the central continent, the night was getting darker. The sea breeze was blowing leisurely on the beach, bringing up layers of waves and gently lapping the rocks on the shore. Suddenly, dozens of people drifted in from a distance.
The first mantises, which are more than three meters high, slowly walk ashore from the sea. The bodies of these mantises are as blue as the deep sea, and their bodies are shining with strange light, as if they are mysterious creatures coming out of the deep sea.
After confirming that there were no humans around, these mantises quickly moved towards the nearest seaside house. They were agile and strong, like moving blades, shining with a cold light. These mantises were sent by the insect nest to conduct reconnaissance.
The purpose of the mission is to investigate the human strength of this continent in order to decide the direction of attack.
They quietly approached the houses and peered through the windows to see everything inside. They saw groups of sleeping people, quiet streets and brightly lit shops. They also saw the occasional calls of fishing boats and returning boats on the seashore.
Fishermen, these are all within their detection range.
After this information is fed back to the insect nest, they will develop more effective attack strategies. These mantises are not only conducting reconnaissance, but also looking for opportunities to destroy and kill. Once they find the target, they will attack without hesitation.
Clamp the prey tightly under the sharp blade and quickly devour it.
After completing the armed reconnaissance of the town, these mantises decided to send the two smallest and weakest mantises out to carry out the killing mission. They began to act wantonly in this quiet coastal town, using their sharp blades to brutally kill
innocent people.
The two praying mantises first rushed to a fisherman's house. They lurked in the dark, waiting for an opportunity. Soon, a fisherman walked out of the door. He obviously did not realize the danger, and he looked tired and was ready to start repairing his fishing net.
At this moment, one of the mantises jumped out quickly. It was so fast that the fishermen had no time to react and were caught tightly by it.
The other mantis was not idle either. It jumped hard and pounced directly on the fisherman's wife. The poor woman was frightened by the sudden attack and screamed. She wanted to escape, but the mantis's blade had already penetrated deeply.
It penetrated her body.
Subsequently, the two mantises began to wreak havoc, leaving their crimes in every corner of the town. Innocent people were massacred in their sleep, blood flowed on the streets, and the originally quiet town instantly turned into a hell on earth.
.
However, the people in the town did not surrender. The professionals in the town quickly organized a resistance force, and they used various weapons to launch a fierce battle with these cruel mantises.
Although the development of thermal weapons in the central continent is far inferior to that of the outer continent, the professionals and soldiers in the small town still rose up to resist, using single-shot breech-loading rifles bought from the outer continent to shoot at the three-meter-tall mantises.
Launch a counterattack.
The mantis's defensive power is comparable to that of high-level professionals, its speed is not inferior to that of mid-level professionals, and its attack power is no worse than that of mid-level professionals. The overall combat effectiveness of the two mantises in front of them is comparable to that of high-level professionals.
There was just a "boom" sound, and a bullet hit the body of a praying mantis hard, but it was directly ejected as if it had hit steel. This scene is not uncommon. In fact, this high-intensity
The defensive power is exactly the newly evolved ability of these mantises in the war on the East Asian subcontinent.
To a certain extent, this approach can be understood as the government's attempt to protect citizens and prevent them from falling into panic and chaos. However, this approach has also brought many negative effects.
However, this kind of evolution requires a large amount of metal assistance, and the speed and sensitivity after evolution are greatly reduced, which can be said to be a quite expensive ability. However, this enhanced defense is enough to deal with rifle bullets currently in service in various countries, making these mantises
It has extremely high survivability on the battlefield.
"It's really crazy!" Cressy said: "These mantises can easily kill us all. As expected, none of the humans on the outer continent are good."
"Shit? Where did these big mantises come from?" Cressy and other companions opened fire at the same time, hiding behind a solid stone wall, reloading bullets and cursing.
First, it makes citizens lack sufficient experience and ability to respond when facing a real crisis. Second, when a crisis really comes, the government may lose public trust and support by hiding the truth, resulting in the inability to organize effectively at critical moments.
and mobilize the people.
"I heard that they came from the outer continent." A companion replied: "I don't know the specific situation, but it is said that they were brought here."
Although the resistance in the town has not been able to eliminate these mantises, they have successfully delayed their attack. After the imperial army and high-level professionals arrive, they will have enough time to study how to fight these mantises and formulate a plan
Come up with more effective strategies.
In addition, although the defenses of these praying mantises are powerful, they are not invincible. After many attacks were ineffective, the residents of the town began to try other methods, such as concentrated fire attacks, which effectively reduced the defenses of the praying mantises.
.At the same time, they also took advantage of the mantis's slower movement speed and adopted guerrilla tactics to constantly harass and tire them out.
Cressy is a junior swordsman in the small town. After the bullets were ineffective, he tried to fight the mantis at close range. As a result, when they met face to face, the mantis almost had his head chopped off.
It is obvious that the four countries in the central continent have not publicized any information about extraterritorial invaders to their citizens, and even maintain a demonic attitude toward the countries on the outer continent towards the existence of Zerg. This deliberately created closed information environment has caused citizens to seriously underestimate
The level of threat posed by the Zerg was so low that even when they asked for help from the outside world, they could only use the excuse that powerful Warcraft invaded the town.
On this issue, the government should adopt a more open and transparent publicity strategy to let citizens understand the true situation of the outside world. Although doing so may cause a certain amount of panic and uneasiness, only by letting citizens understand the truth can they better cultivate them
Crisis awareness and self-protection ability.
At the same time, the government should also establish a sound early warning mechanism and emergency plan to ensure that it can respond promptly when a real crisis strikes and effectively protect the safety of citizens' lives and property.
It is precisely because of this behavior of the Central Four Countries that the town was destroyed and irreparable mistakes were made.
When the Augu Empire's latest garrison moved toward the town, other mantises that had been monitoring the town also began to take action.
