Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

The stars are bright, and there are little sparks under the dawn sky.

The fire on the city wall gradually extinguished, and the insect swarm on the front did not hesitate for a moment and launched a crazy attack again.

This is not only a strong attack, but also to attract the lizardmen's attention to the frontal battlefield to the greatest extent, and to create opportunities for the western insect swarm to enter the city smoothly.

Different from today's eastern battlefield where they are frantically attacking the city wall, as the real main attack, they not only need to attack the city from the rear, but also need to control the opponent's granary in the west of the city under the tight defense of the lizard people.

This is the real purpose of Zero. These grains are the most precious resource in the entire city for the Zerg!

But it is not an easy task to accomplish this, because after Sommer's reminder, as soon as it was confirmed that the Zerg appeared to launch an siege, Toril had ordered people to place fire starters near the granary. Just in case, if the insect swarm really breaks through the city wall, at least it will not use such a large amount of food to aid the enemy.

The amount of this batch of food is very large, including the remaining food and grass that was originally transferred to attack the jungle barbarian empire, and this time Toril concentrated part of the food in the territory to deal with the insect swarm. It is not an exaggeration to say that it piled up into a mountain. , it can be said that they are fully prepared for a protracted war, which is far from the lizard man's territory in the jungle.

However, Toril never expected that under the crazy attack of the insect swarm, in just a few hours, the frontal battlefield was already in a state of collapse. While they were causing damage to the insect swarm, their own losses were also increasing. Grows slowly over time.

Unlike this group of sleepless Zerg, under the continuous battle, the lizardman warriors will be tired, frightened, and even collapse. This all takes time to adjust. No one can stay focused forever. Under the full attack of the Zerg, every time A slight vulnerability can be fatal. Therefore, they can only defend in rotation.

If the insect swarm maintains such an offensive intensity, not to mention how long the resources in the city can sustain it under such circumstances, if they just continue to fight day and night, even if they are all elites in hundreds of battles, they will not be able to persist. how long.

In all the past wars, no enemy of theirs could do what the Zerg did!

After once again struggling to repel the swarm, Toril became pessimistic about the idea of ​​a protracted war that he had previously envisioned. Once the city is captured, based on the information obtained from Sommer, this batch of food that was supposed to be used to defend against the enemy will become a source of rapid growth for the enemy!

If this batch of food falls into the hands of the Zerg, it will simply give the Zerg swarm wings to take off. So no matter what, even if it is burned, he will never be allowed to be obtained by the Zerg!

The war had just begun, but after truly understanding the strength of the insect swarm, he seemed to have already seen the ending...

It's just that the war will continue. As the commander-in-chief and lord, he can't just hand over the eastern gateway of the empire.

However, all his arrangements were completely hidden from Zero, who made the explorer keep an eye on the opponent's granary.

Although it might be difficult, he still had to try. It was a pity that such a large amount of food was burned down like this. If possible, he hopes to seize control of the granary with lightning speed before the lizard men take action!

Therefore, the insect swarm that was feinting to attack from the front launched an extremely powerful attack in order to attract as much defensive power as possible in the city and create opportunities for the insect swarm in the west of the city who was preparing to attack.

In order to deal with the crazy swarms of insects, Toril had to mobilize the reserves at the rear and use crossbows to inflict as much damage as possible on the swarms in front of them and relieve the pressure on the city.

Under the watchful eye of the explorers, the mobilization of troops in the city has no secrets for Zero.

As more and more fresh troops were mobilized to the east of the city to resist the Zerg attack, there were fewer and fewer troops in the city that could be used as mobile support.

Zero thinks the time has come.

Under the night, the silent Zerg land units had gathered in the shadows under the city wall, and the next moment they were silently climbing up the wall in the blind spot of the lizard man's sight.

In the dim light, with the dark appearance of the Zerg, it is difficult to find traces of them unless you observe carefully or have the ability to discern everything like Sommer.

Unlike the fanfare of the frontal battlefield, this swarm of insects was extremely cautious.

Because he and the others were tasked with sneak attacks on the granary, Zero had to act so carefully. The only feasible way to do this was to control the granary before the lizard people could react. Otherwise, with the opponent's preparations, once the fire broke out, If it ignites, it will be difficult for the Zerg to grab food from it.

Only by taking the granary into his own hands before this can Zero obtain the most important supplies for the Zerg in this city as he wishes.

There are not many of them, only a hundred or so. After all, although the city walls are tall, there are not many places for them to hide.

But this is enough. They are not trying to fight the lizard warriors at the front of the city. Their goal is only the granary!

…………

For Xicheng, who is in the rear, although it is not completely defenseless, it is indeed far less strict than the front. This is not only reflected in the number of people, but also the materials and defensive weapons are not on the same level at all.

Obviously, the lizardmen didn't pay too much attention to the defense of their rear area, or they didn't think there would be any attacks here.

After all, all the territory behind here is imperial territory. If this place is attacked, then the situation in the entire rear area must have been corrupted.

But now that the Zerg are here, it can be said that regardless of the victory or defeat in this battle, the Lizardmen will suffer a huge defeat.

Because the insect swarm has actually crossed their carefully set defense line, although the hinterland of the empire today cannot be said to be undefended against the insect horde, in a short period of time, there will indeed be no major obstacles.

Of course, it would undoubtedly be the best thing if we could get this batch of food.

The insects slowly climbing up the city wall were waiting silently. Their purpose was to cross the city wall directly and rush towards the granary, taking control of the granary first. As for the lizard soldiers on the city wall, there will naturally be subsequent swarms of insects to deal with them.

Over at the granary, the explorers have figured out the details around the warehouse, where are the flammable materials, where are the torches, and even which guard has flint or fire starters on him. Everything is detailed. Zero has basically covered it all. Got it.

Because concealment needs to be taken into consideration, the number of the first batch of Zerg that rushes over the city wall and rushes into the city cannot be too large. Therefore, each of them has its own goal, either to extinguish the torch, or to kill the main enemy, or to Destroy fuel.

Ling Zai is doing his best to ensure the safety of this batch of food.

At the same time, based on his understanding of the lizardman race, he did not think that under such a sudden attack by the Zerg, the guards of the other party's granary would be so decisive in setting fire to the grain and grass. Just by surrounding Heli City, they could starve to death inside. The other party will never do this easily until the last moment, and this is the Zerg's opportunity.
