Chapter 6575 Worse is coming

Chapter 6575 Worse is coming
"Let's wait a little longer. Things haven't reached that point yet. Let's wait and see. If there is a turning point, we'll move forward. If there is really no other way out, then we'll carry out that dangerous plan." Opolis said to Yusidai with a gloomy face.

The super-large etched army formation is indeed extremely powerful, but the scale of the locusts is already large enough to bypass this area. Even if not all of it is bypassed, given the current scale, even if only one-tenth of it can bypass it, it will be the scale of a second round of locust plagues. What's more, if it really takes off, the scale will only be more than one-tenth, so there will be many subsequent problems.

"Have you reported this to His Majesty Severus?" Eusebius asked with some curiosity. "The main reason is that the time is too short. If we have more time, we will definitely have a better solution. This situation is really troublesome now."

The two super researchers in Rome both sighed. It was not because they were not strong enough, but the time was too short and they had no choice at all.

In the evening of the next day, the veterans of the three empires returned to the temporary camp built for them by the Roman Empire along the same route they had taken. However, compared to the very intact camp last night, today's camp, whether it was tents or fences, were all eaten by locusts.

Looking at the camp that had been almost eaten up, the veterans of the three empires all felt a sense of crisis to some extent. After they came here, even those veterans who had been extremely lucky and had never encountered a locust plague in the past were given some knowledge about the plague.

It is obvious that the scale of the locust plague has further expanded. All the local food has been eaten up. The surviving locust nymphs have undergone a final wave of development, evolved into a large number of flying creatures, and started migrating. In other words, the third round of locust plague has officially begun.

"They have started to take off." Cui Yu's face turned ugly as he looked at the locusts that were lingering on the wooden walls of his own camp even at night.

"We don't have much time left." Shan Zhong, who was standing by, nodded grimly after hearing Cui Yu's words. "Now a new problem arises. Where do we stay at night? Although sleeping on the floor is not a problem, I don't want to eat a bunch of locusts while I sleep at night."

Jiang Zhe's face turned very bad when he heard that. He didn't mind sleeping on the floor, but the problem was that eating a bunch of locusts at night was really unacceptable. It was simply disgusting.

If I can't come here any more, I'll probably only have grass seed porridge to eat if I stay in Central Asia, so I decided to follow my brothers here. At least there are decent meals here. Although I don't mind eating grass seed porridge, it's better to eat something good.

It sounds ridiculous, but with the current density of locusts, if you don't have any protection when you sleep, it's really not a problem for a locust to fall into your mouth, which is really disgusting.

"Ah, is the second Cui so powerful?" Huang Tao reacted instantly, looking at Su Zong with some surprise and asking, the second Cui family actually has three sixth-level smeltings? Is this a joke! To be honest, in the case of Central Asian families, most families don't even have one sixth-level smelting.

Cui Yu looked at Huang Tao expressionlessly, he knew it would be like this. Huang Tao didn't know him, but he knew there was a person named Huang Tao, because there was a super veteran who was jumping around all year round. The Cui family also told him that Huang Tao should undoubtedly know all the top veterans. There was no extra reason, he just had a wide range of friends.

Huang Tao looked at Cui Yu strangely. Each of the six-level smelting masters was extremely talented, and they were all elites who needed more than ten or twenty years to reach their goals. Therefore, each of these people had his own life trajectory, and Huang Tao should have met each other in those ten or twenty years. At the very least, he should have learned about each other from other channels.

"Brother Su, that's a bit too much." Cui Yu said with some dissatisfaction after hearing Su Zong's words. Huang Tao's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he knew there was a story behind it.

"Brother Dong is reliable!" Huang Tao came out from nowhere and said to Dong Zhe with a smile, then turned to look at Cui Yu with a somewhat strange look, "Brother, where are you from?"

"It doesn't matter. If you sleep on the ground, I can provide you with a spiral force field. There aren't many people here anyway. When I fall asleep, the spiral force field will rotate on its own." Dong Zhe greeted his brothers in the Han army with a simple smile on his dull expression.

"Everyone, the Romans asked us to go north. They have built a new camp in the north, a permanent camp. Let's go there to rest. The Romans have already prepared wine and meat." Sun Er shouted to the group of people from a distance, and then the group of people looked at each other and left.

In other words, there shouldn't be any smelting above the sixth level in the Han Empire that Huang Tao doesn't know about. You can say that I, Huang Tao, may not have participated in such a wedding banquet, but at least I should have drunk with these brothers. I have run all over the Han Dynasty and met more people than the Taiwei. Even if I don't have the Taiwei's brain, how could I not know about these less than two hundred sixth or seventh level smeltings?

"Cui Yu from the Cui family." Cui Yu looked at Huang Tao calmly and said, he should not have participated in the locust extermination, but on the one hand, the second Cui was also confused by the locust plague, and on the other hand, Chang'an issued a military order, and Cui Yu, who was a sixth-level smelter, had to come without any important military duties.

"Brother Su, what's going on? Is there a grudge between you two?" After Cui Yu left, Huang Tao turned around and asked Su Zong, with a look that almost said, "I want to hear a story."

“It’s not a matter of hatred. There are three people with the surname Cui here, Cui Yu, Cui Hao, and Cui Rui. All three are at the sixth level of smelting.” Su Zong glanced at Huang Tao and knew this man’s personality. This was his only hobby. What’s more, even if he didn’t say it, there were others. Just because Huang Tao didn’t know them didn’t mean that no one in this group knew them. The circle of top veterans was so small and there was a lot of overlap.

"It's normal that you don't know him, because he's not in the Central Plains." Su Zong landed next to Huang Tao from the sky, then looked at Cui Yu with an unhappy expression, "And he wasn't called Cui Yu before."

Although it is joking that the Lanling Xiao family is just a medium-sized family, the Lanling Xiao family is well aware of its strength. However, even a family like the Lanling Xiao family would hire people like Xuezhou, Zhangdu, and Queen Xiao when something happened. Moreover, every time Queen Xiao went to work for the Lanling Xiao family, the Lanling Xiao family would invite Queen Xiao to join the family.

There are too few sixth-level smelters, and most of them can do well anywhere. Unless they really owe favors to the major families, or are directly trained by the families themselves, most of the sixth-level smelters will not deliberately restrict themselves.

"Yes, the two Cuis are so powerful. Under the order of the Grand Commandant, the Central Asian family has produced a total of nine six-fold smeltings, and three of them are from the two Cuis." Su Zong said with a gloomy face. Because it was a military order, there was no such thing as not coming. Unless they were really dead or over 60 years old, they had to come. Therefore, there were only so many six-fold smeltings in the Central Asian family, and the two Cuis accounted for one third of them. This was simply a terrifying incident.

"This doesn't make sense." Huang Tao scratched his head. He was not a fool. The prerequisites for the sixth-level smelting were quite a lot. It was already incredible that the second Cui could produce one. If he could produce three, how many would be needed to produce the fifth-level smelting?

In this case, how strong would Cui's military power have to be?
"What a bunch of bullshit, it's just Cui Yongyuan's trick." Hua Chen passed by and said to Huang Tao. The old man brought his nephew Sun Liang with him this time, but Hua Chen is actually in his early sixties and he's just here to hang out. It's all thanks to Sun Liang's hard work that they've achieved a target of over 10 million today, which means they've completed their mission.

"Halberd soldier?" Huang Tao reacted instantly after hearing this. After all, many veterans knew this trick, but Huang Tao just didn't think about it that way.

"Ju Yi's halberd warrior corps was taken away by the patriarch of the Cui family. Later, the Cui family returned the corps. Due to the lack of a complete talent structure, the royal guards could not be brought into play in their own family." Hua Chen said with a sneer. He had a good talk about this matter with his brother in Jizhou.

"All the soldiers were returned, but the veterans with high smelting skills, that is, the backbones, who can be used as the core of any legion, were all detained." Su Zong said helplessly, "The main reason is that you can't talk about this matter yet, because it is indeed returned, and it is indeed the Imperial Guards in the hands of the Yuan family, and those backbones may not be the Great Halberd Soldiers."

"Is that so?" Huang Tao nodded after hearing this, and he had a certain understanding of the past incident. "Cui Yu and others joined the Cui family during that time."

For the two Cuis, they felt a little sad at most that the Great Halberd Soldiers who could not display their strength were given to the Yuan family to settle the account. However, these backbones who were carefully selected by Ju Yi from Jizhou were not Great Halberd Soldiers in the first place, and their number was at most dozens or hundreds, so they were corrupt.

The Cui family has no way to hide a large target of several thousand people, but they have nowhere to hide with dozens or hundreds of people. They can just form a legion and incorporate it into the team as their main force. Wouldn't that be completely concealed? Moreover, even if the Yuan family has any ideas afterwards, they will not be in the right.

"Speaking of which, how did you feel about exterminating the locusts today?" Hua Chen changed the subject very naturally. He had no interest in the private affairs of these wealthy families. Even if the Yuan family and the Cui family fought each other, it would not affect the old Yellow Turban's meal. On the contrary, Hua Chen was very active in exterminating the locusts.

Originally, people over 60 were not required to come, but Hua Chen heard that they were here to kill locusts, and thought that with his own strength, he must use it to severely destroy the locusts and vent his anger at the locust plague that wiped out his family many years ago. So Hua Chen brought his nephew along, and before coming he set a goal for himself, to kill 100 million locusts.

But when they arrived, they found that there were too many locusts here, and 100 million people were of no use in killing them.

"The overall will of Locust Sky is taking shape. The will of the autophagic locusts has merged with that of Rome. The situation is not very good." Huang Tao said bluntly. He went all out today and directly killed to the core area of ​​the locust plague. Pretending to be a sharp warrior, he gave the collective will a sword, but the situation was not very good. The effect can only be said to be better than nothing.

"It's too huge, even bigger than the Kushan Empire's will we've seen, and it hasn't been fully formed yet. It's very troublesome." Su Zong also frowned. He also felt it was difficult to deal with. As scout-type warriors, the two of them were already the best of the best, but it was of no use.

"Brother Su, where are the Roman researchers?" Zheng Ke flashed and appeared next to Su Zong. Huang Tao's eyes lit up when he saw Zheng Ke's unexpected speed. This was another target to copy, which was really great.

"What's wrong?" Su Zong asked, pointing to the northeast to Zheng Ke, "It's about 200 miles underground over there. Do you want to go over there?"

"I caught a locust with legion talent." Zheng Ke's face turned pale. As someone who had personally gone to the Ganges to watch a movie about the locust plague, Zheng Ke was extremely afraid of the locust plague in East Africa. As a result, today in the depths of the locust swarm, he found a group of locusts that seemed to have elite talents. Zheng Ke was scared half to death, and then he tried his best to kill all the locusts and captured the leading boundary-breaking locust.

"Ah?" The people around felt their scalps tingling when they heard this. What the hell did you get?

"This is definitely a talent of the legion!" Zheng Ke pinched the Boundary-Breaking Locust that was still alive and struggling, opened its eyes to Su Zong and others, and then said with a look of despair.

“Fuck, aren’t they talking about elite talents? Why are there legion talents? Even though these two things are similar, when it comes to performance, the former is much more dangerous than the latter!” After all, Huang Tao had received the inheritance of the Four Saints, and he saw many things much more thoroughly than Zheng Ke.

For large creatures like humans, elite talents are of course far stronger than legion talents. However, for locusts, legion talents represent endless reserve soldiers, which will be exhausted to death.

"Let's go, let's go find the Roman Empire and let them see what's going on and who made this thing!" Su Zong dragged Zheng Ke, who looked devastated, and teleported towards the northeast, while Huang Tao followed, leaving only Hua Chen and Sun Liang.

"Hey!" Hua Chen stretched out his hand towards the northeast, but in the blink of an eye, Huang Tao, Su Zong and Zheng Ke had turned into small dots and then disappeared on the horizon.

"Uncle, what should we do? We don't know the way. You should have told me directly before." Sun Liang looked at Hua Chen's helpless expression, "I'm so hungry. I'm really starving to death today."

"Here, eat some locusts first. This thing can be eaten after roasting. As for the poison, you don't care. Eat some to fill your stomach first." Hua Chen reached out with a kind face, caught a relatively large locust and handed it to his nephew.
