Chapter 1309 Don't Blame Me
Under General Jinlong's command, ten thousand cannons roared from the city wall!
Countless energy projectiles, wreathed in blazing dragon flames, roared into the sky, exploding in a dazzling yet deadly display of sparks.
The shockwave from the explosion tore apart the dense swarm of insects. The wings of the hunting wasps instantly carbonized in the intense heat, and the carapaces of the bombardier black locusts crackled in the flames. Charred insect corpses rained down from the sky, filling the air with the pungent smell of burning and the distinctive stench of the insectoid race.
But it turned out to be true.
The Zerg's flying forces were too densely packed, and even without the Dragonfire Barrier to block them, some of them still managed to break into the city.
"Oops!"
General Jinlong's heart sank. He put away his weapon, and his dragon might surged, intending to reveal his true dragon form and chase after the insect soldiers.
Under no circumstances should those insect soldiers be allowed into the city!
"Holy Law - Holy Spirit True Fire!"
Just then, Ye Ge made his move.
A vermilion bird formed from crimson flames appeared out of thin air. It spread its burning wings, let out a clear and melodious cry, and flew into the sky.
The Vermilion Bird spread its wings in the sky, and as it flapped its wings, countless fiery feathers intertwined in the air to form an impenetrable fire net, completely blocking the advance route of those flying insect soldiers.
General Jinlong was slightly taken aback, and slowly lowered his arm, which was preparing to transform into a dragon.
"Boom boom boom boom boom—!"
A series of explosions echoed across the sky. Scorched by the Holy Fire, all the Zerg flying units that breached the defenses were instantly reduced to ashes. Charred fragments of Zerg corpses, mixed with smoke, drifted down like black snowflakes.
Night Song gazed thoughtfully at the ashes and debris falling from the sky.
At this time, the Zerg army outside the city walls also began to make new moves.
After a brutal infighting spree, the swarm seemed to have received new instructions and began to retreat like a tide.
"Look, the Zerg army is retreating!" a Terran warrior exclaimed.
“OH~~~~”
"OHHHHHHH——!!!"
The retreat of the insect swarm meant the city had been successfully defended. The dragon warriors on the city walls cheered excitedly.
The patterns in Bai Xueling's pupils flickered faintly, then she turned to look at Ye Ge: "That Zerg Empress should be not far from here. I sensed her. She just used her mental power to help a part of the Queen Zerg regain control."
Although it had been quietly perched on Ye Ge's shoulder, ever since it rushed into the sea of insects with Ye Ge, Bai Xue Ling had been engaged in a silent mental battle with Huan Meng.
She invaded the mental links of the queen insects, altered their commands to the insect soldiers, and caused them to kill each other. When the insect queen, Illusion, discovered this, she also connected to the mental nodes of the queen insects to fight back, attempting to regain control of the insect soldiers.
As a result, a large group of insect soldiers fell into chaos, became confused, and attacked indiscriminately without distinguishing friend from foe.
Ye Ge looked at her and asked, "And in the end? Did you win or lose?"
“It’s a draw,” Bai Xueling said. “She didn’t settle things with me. After regaining some of the mother insect’s mental nodes, she killed the insect soldiers who hadn’t yet regained control, and then directly ordered the swarm to retreat.”
Ye Ge nodded.
"Lord Night Song." General Golden Dragon approached and respectfully bowed, "We are deeply grateful for your assistance in leading the human forces to our aid. On behalf of the Dragon Clan, I thank you."
"Oh, no problem, no problem." Ye Ge didn't look at him, wiping her weapon and putting it back in her inventory, then said casually, "But General Jinlong, I told you when the swarm of insects attacked that I don't need any firepower support. You just need to keep an eye on things... But, you and your men don't seem to trust me very much..."
General Jinlong's expression turned somewhat awkward: "This..."
Night Song: "Especially your subordinates, it seems they're planning to bypass your command authority as the Great General and directly order the Flame Dragon Mage Squad to attack the insect swarm, intending to burn the swarm and me together, right?"
General Jinlong was slightly taken aback.
Night Song has just charged into the swarm of insects...
How did he know what was happening on the city wall?
"..."
Upon hearing Ye Ge's words, the captain of the Dragon Flame Mage team standing nearby immediately showed an unnatural expression and remained silent.
Ye Ge finally turned her head slowly, glancing at General Jinlong out of the corner of her eye: "Is the discipline of your dragon army so lax? On the battlefield, subordinates can actually bypass their superiors and issue orders directly?"
"..."
General Jinlong remained silent, having nothing to say.
"I'm very sorry, Duke Nightsong. This matter is indeed a problem with the discipline of our dragon army." General Golden Dragon bowed slightly and apologized with his hands clasped: "I apologize to you."
Ye Ge said calmly, "There's no need for an apology. Just don't blame me for killing your people, Dragon King."
General Jinlong was slightly taken aback: "What did you say...?"
Before the words had even finished, General Jinlong had a chance to understand what Ye Ge meant.
Ye Ge raised his right hand slightly, his fingertips twitching.
The cold light appears!
A sharp sword pellet was suddenly shot out!
"Shh-!"
A streak of blood shot out!
"!!!"
Everyone present was stunned.
The captain of the Flame Dragon Mage team stared in astonishment.
He subconsciously looked down and his face showed an expression of disbelief.
A clear line of blood was rapidly expanding on his neck.
"Pfft-"
Blood gushed out like a burst water pipe!
The captain of the Flame Dragon Mage team clutched the wound on his neck in pain and in vain, but he was unable to stop the blood from gushing out. He collapsed to the ground, powerless.
His throat had been slit, but he didn't die immediately. Instead, as he suffocated, he stared with despair at Ye Ge, who stood before him, looking down at him with cold indifference...
"Help...help..." The captain of the Flame Dragon Mage desperately stretched out a hand.
General Jinlong was completely taken aback by Ye Ge's actions. He opened his mouth slightly, as if he was about to say something.
Ye Ge's expression was indifferent. He raised his finger again and sent another sword pellet falling from the sky.
"Pfft——!"
This sword pierced straight through his head from top to bottom!
The expression on the captain of the Flame Dragon Mage was forever frozen in that moment of astonishment. Blood gradually flowed beneath him, and he completely lost his life.
