Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

Zhang Chen immediately retreated to his fellow disciple's side and asked him:

"Why don't you come forward to support us? Otherwise, we still have a chance to stop them."

The disciple who was asked looked embarrassed. He looked sideways at Liu Liankun and then said to Zhang Chen:

"Junior Brother Zhang, we just arrived too. It will take time for these soldiers to gather and prepare. Uncle Master is worried that if we go to provide support, the Zerg that have already sneaked in will attack here and these soldiers will be scattered. At that time, we alone will not be able to stop the endless swarm of Zerg."

Zhang Chen shook his head, looking helpless. If they had provided timely support at the beginning, they would have had a chance to stop the large swarm of insects from rushing into the city.

Now a large number of insects have rushed in. The opportunity has been lost. I don’t know how many times more it will cost than before to stop them.

Seeing that things were hopeless, Zhang Chen immediately sat down cross-legged, took another pill to replenish his spiritual energy, and practiced his skills, continuously absorbing spiritual energy.

After the swarm of insects rushed in and dealt with the remaining scattered soldiers around, they did not attack this side, but waited slowly. As more and more insect beasts appeared, the swarm of insects began to line up in groups, and the first few rows were all giant insect beasts covered in thick armor.

Behind them were the insect beasts waving their sharp forelimbs and focusing on attacking. At the very end, there was a different insect beast, which turned its head and looked at Zhang Chen and his group, observing something. There were dozens of huge insect beasts blocking its way. It could see through the gaps between the huge insect beasts, but Zhang Chen and his group could not see it.

It was the queen insect responsible for the attack. It had been waiting in the tunnel dug by the digging insects, seizing the opportunity and breaking through the city wall in one fell swoop.

After passing the city wall, it did not feel proud, but became more cautious. At this time, it was organizing the swarm of insects into a formation so that it could exert its maximum power.

The swarm of Zerg that rushed in continued to gather towards the formation, and soon they were arranged in an orderly and strict formation. A Zerg army with both offensive and defensive capabilities was formed, and they slowly approached Zhang Chen and his men.

Zhang Chen looked at the dark mass of insects and beasts in front of him and felt helpless. At this point, he could only do his best.

When the Zerg entered the attack range, dozens of crossbows fired first, and the giant Zerg in the front row were instantly killed or wounded. The front defense was wide open, revealing a flaw. Crossbows began to fire in unison, and a rain of arrows shot towards the Zerg camp, killing another large number of Zerg beasts.

With a command from the Zerg Queen, the broken gap was blocked again. The remaining Zerg continued to shrink, maintain their formation, and began to charge towards this side.

Soon, another rain of arrows came, and insects and beasts fell one after another. The distance was shortened a lot, and soon it was within fifty meters. Zhang Chen also took out his spirit sword and input spiritual energy in preparation.

As the Zerg got closer, the archers immediately retreated. The soldiers wearing full armor, holding spears in their right hands and shields in their left hands, stood in front. The sound of war horses neighing could be heard faintly on both sides behind them.

Soon the Zerg that rushed to the front came in front of everyone. All the disciples of Qingyumen stood in the front of the soldiers and began to cast spells. It was dazzling for a moment. Zhang Chen also slashed forward with a five-meter-long golden sword light, and the dozen or so Zerg beasts running in front were killed instantly.

The insects and beasts that approached later spit out venom, poisonous mist, and attacked. The front-row soldiers also began to suffer casualties. Liu Liankun used his flying sword to kill all the insects and beasts that approached him one by one. Other disciples were also constantly killing insects and beasts. Soon this wave of insects and beasts was completely killed.

Before everyone could catch their breath, the second wave of attack began. About half an hour later, the second wave was also wiped out. However, the casualties of soldiers on Zhang Chen's side had increased significantly, and their bows and arrows were severely consumed. Zhang Chen and his men also consumed a lot of spiritual energy, and with no time to replenish it, they were almost unable to hold on.

Ten minutes later, the third wave of insect beasts began. Everyone had a serious look on their faces. Many archers had thrown away their crossbows and picked up spears.

At this time, Liu Liankun came to Zhang Chen on his sword and said to Zhang Chen:

"I have already found the location of the Insect Queen. It is in the innermost part, and is protected by dozens of giant insect beasts. It is easy to identify. When the order is given, you and a few fellow disciples will attack it."

Zhang Chen was shocked as he looked at the dense swarm of Zerg in front of him. How could he launch a surprise attack in this situation? He might be trampled into a pulp by the Zerg before he could even get halfway.

"Uncle Master, in this situation, where is the chance for a sneak attack?"

"When the cavalry attacks, you will seize the opportunity. You dare to be afraid of death and flee from the battlefield. Humph..."

After Liu Liankun finished his threatening words, he went to the other side without waiting for Zhang Chen to reply, apparently preparing to notify other people.

Looking at the Zerg army gradually approaching, Zhang Chen could only try his best to absorb spiritual energy and maintain his strength. Soon he heard heavy drum beats and shrill horn sounds, followed by the sound of horse hooves from behind.

Soon the sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and the sound gathered into a larger and larger one, and immediately, like a tidal wave, they rushed out from both sides with a deafening force. They were all wearing black iron armor, wearing helmets, and holding three-meter-long spears. The spears were fixed on the horse's saddle, straight forward, with the tip of the spear parallel to the horse. There were also two rows of long swords installed horizontally on both sides of the horse's abdomen, and they rushed towards the swarm of insects.

Zhang Chen was also shocked to see such power. After the cavalry rushed in, he followed closely and killed their way in as well.

The cavalry charged forward like a tide, unstoppable. The Zerg in front attacked with all their might, but could only stop a small part of the cavalry. The subsequent cavalry kept pouring in, and the Zerg's formation was immediately disrupted, and they started to fight each other. The infantry behind them also began to form a formation and advance forward.

Zhang Chen jumped onto a horse that had lost its owner and rushed into the insect swarm. He soon saw a small circle of dozens of huge insect beasts in the distance.

"That must be the insect queen in there, right? But how can we break through the insect beasts protecting it?"

Zhang Chen watched as the approaching cavalrymen were cut in half by the huge insect beasts who raised their front limbs and chopped them off. The long spears piercing their bodies only set off circles of sparks.

Looking at the insects and beasts that kept rushing in from outside the city wall, Zhang Chen's face darkened.

"We must hurry up, otherwise it won't be long before the Zerg we just lost will be replenished."

He immediately condensed golden needles and continuously shot at the approaching insect beasts. When he was less than fifty meters away from the insect mother, when his horse was about to fall down due to being hit by the insect beast's venom, he jumped off the horse and immediately performed the Water Invisibility Technique to hide his body. The insect beast next to him that was about to attack was immediately confused, it could not smell anything, and could only turn around in place.

Zhang Chen went around and kept getting closer to the insect queen. Due to the chaos on the battlefield, Zhang Chen needed to constantly change his position and direction, and occasionally he needed to move urgently, so the water stealth technique often failed. Several times, Zhang Chen was besieged by multiple insect beasts and was in danger.

Finally, after ten minutes, Zhang Chen arrived within ten meters of the insect queen. Looking at the huge insect beast in the distance, Zhang Chen began to think.
