Chapter 1269 Dark Clouds Over the City

Kona accepted the surrender of the Minos Corps and provided them with shelter, demonstrating her position of resisting the expansion of the Zerg with practical actions.

This statement greatly enhanced the status of the Blade Princess in the minds of the Tanari demons.

The large and small demon forces on the Wanyuan Plain, including settlements like the Demon Bat Town, are now threatened by the Zerg and face the fate of being captured as hosts or cannon fodder.

In order to avoid such a bad fate, the demons urgently need a strong leader to lead them against the "Zerg King" Abaddon.

Kona followed the trend and made herself the savior in the minds of the demons, gaining prestige that everyone responded to.

For a time, the small and medium-sized Tanari tribes on the Wanyuan Plain fled their homes occupied by the Zerg and rushed to the Ferragu Fortress to swear allegiance to the Blade Princess.

In just one week, Kona took in no less than 100,000 Tanari demons, and the total strength of the Ferragu Corps has exceeded 200,000!

It seems that the situation is very good, but it is just an appearance.

200,000 troops are indeed a huge force, but compared to the crazy breeding of the Obyris Zerg, it still seems to be alone.

What's more, Kona's high-profile acceptance of refugees, including exiled officers like Minos who defected from the Zerg King's camp, has deeply angered Abaddon and Bynes.

Especially the Fire Demon General Bynes, who has always been arrogant and regards himself as the leader of all the Tanari tribes in the Wanyuan Plain.

Now he is forced to submit to the Obyris Zerg, his reputation is ruined, and his status in the eyes of his compatriots has plummeted.

His name has become synonymous with cowards and traitors.

The position that originally belonged to him has been replaced by Kona.

The other side of arrogance is often narrow-mindedness, and Bynes has such a character.

Compared with the "Zerg King" Abaddon who seized his foundation, forced him to surrender, and caused him to be ruined, Bynes is more jealous of the Blade Princess who has been in the limelight.

So when Abaddon planned to continue to expand the territory and plunder slaves, Baines immediately gave advice to his new master, giving priority to attacking Ferag Fortress before attacking Tyros Fortress.

Even the Insect King was a little surprised by his suggestion.

Ferag is the last fortress of the Tanari demons. Now the assembled troops have exceeded 200,000, three times that of Tyros Fortress, which is obviously a harder nut to crack.

To put it another way, Ferag is the territory of the demons after all, while Tyros is the colony of the devils.

Obiris and Tanari belong to different subcategories under the species of demons. After all, people are not close to the land.

Baatezu demons are invaders from the outside world, and theoretically should be the common mortal enemy of all demon tribes.

In this case, Baines let go of the Tyros Fortress occupied by the demons and suggested to attack Ferag first. What kind of mentality did he have?

Abaddon is not a fool. Of course, he can see that Bynes is jealous of Kona and hates General Minos who abandoned him to Kona. He proposed to attack Ferrag out of revenge.

After weighing the pros and cons, Abaddon accepted Bynes' proposal and appointed Bynes as the commander to lead the attack on Ferrag Fortress.

The Zerg King valued Bynes, a legendary deputy, but he was also wary of him, fearing that he would follow General Minos and defect immediately after leaving the city with his troops.

For the sake of checks and balances, Abaddon sent all of Bynes's direct subordinates to the Zerg Nest Island and ordered them to cross the Abyss Wormhole and serve as the vanguard of the invasion of Blue Star.

As for the troops marching into Ferrag, they were all composed of the Obyris Zerg, except for the commander, Bynes, who was born in the Tanari Demon Clan.

The Zerg nominally obeyed Bynes's command, but in fact they were monitored by Abaddon.

If the order issued by Bynes conflicts with the will of the Zerg King, who will the Zerg listen to?

The answer to this question is obvious.

Bynes knew that he was just a commander with a false name.

However, at this point, he has no better way out.

It is indeed humiliating to live under someone else's roof, but when he thought that he still had the opportunity to use the power of the Zerg to break through Ferrag, kill the traitor Minos with his own hands, pull the arrogant Blade Princess off the altar, ravage her to his heart's content, and completely trample on her dignity, he would feel more balanced.

…

The eternal sunset of the Wanyuan Plain painted a layer of plasma-like luster on the walls of Ferrag Fortress, deepening the solemn atmosphere on the battlefield.

The long horn sound was soon overwhelmed by the high-frequency buzzing of the Zerg's wings.

The Zerg was like a large dark cloud, blocking the sunlight above the fortress and casting a haze on the hearts of the soldiers defending the city.

Kona, who has regained her six-armed snake demon form, stood on the top of the city wall, dressed in military uniform and looking heroic, and was discussing the battle plan with generals such as Meryl and Minos.

Horror and beauty, two qualities that should be completely opposite, are cleverly integrated into a unique style in her.

Gao Fei stood not far from Kona, standing with his hands behind his back, silently looking at the insect swarm, with a calm expression.

"Brother! Is the gluttonous insect swarm coming?" Pipi asked nervously.

This little devil who claims to be "all-knowing in the lower plane" is actually not as omniscient as he boasts. For example, he has not seen the perverted existence of the gluttonous insect with his own eyes.

"That's not a gluttonous insect swarm, just an ordinary egg-planting demon." Gao Fei replied lightly.

Pipi looked up at the insect swarm in the air, his face a little embarrassed.

"Ahem... Take a closer look, it's really an egg-planting demon!"

"But then again, there are too many egg demons, at least one or two million, right? The Insect King is really willing to spend money!"

The little devil quickly shut up.

No time for idle chat!

The egg demons, covering the sky and the sun, are flying towards the top of the city!

On the top of the city, the defenders have been waiting for it.

Kona took the lead and raised her hand to summon a tornado to strangle the insect swarm!

At the same time, the succubi and tiefling warlocks gathered beside the Blade Princess, led by the maid Meryl, jointly cast the 5th ring magic "Control Wind Direction".

Compared with the "Whirlwind Spell", the wind created by "Control Wind Direction" is weaker and cannot directly kill the egg demons, but it wins in numbers.

Hundreds of strong winds overlapped, turning the sky above the fortress into a high-pressure area with turbulent airflow.

No matter which direction the insect swarm attacked from, the result was that they were blown into a mess in the wind.

Only a few egg-planting demons managed to land on the top of the city despite the raging wind, but this also became their greatest misfortune.

The lone egg-planting demons were besieged by the city defense troops and were cut into pieces in a blink of an eye.

The first wave of attack by the Obyris Zerg was just a test and was quickly repelled.

Not long after, a larger swarm of Zergs returned!
