The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

"Here it comes!" Cade said, and flashed over the tank-sized bug.

This bug is called the hill bug. On its back, there is a mound shaped like a mountain. Most of its defense comes from this.

Although this insect is huge in size, it moves very fast. Its strong body keeps moving around on the battlefield. Countless undead and mechanical creatures cannot withstand its impact.

Under its cover, many weaker bugs can also pass through the fire network.

Among them, there is a kind of nanny insect that carries a lot of nutrients. It does not have any defensive or offensive organs in its body, but has evolved towards storage.

In addition to nutrition, there is a special space in its body that can store incompletely hatched insect eggs.

Once the environment stabilizes, the nanny bug will die and transform into a temporary hatching nest to hatch the eggs.

The location where Zhong Zheng's team was originally stationed was not dangerous, but everything changed when a nanny bug successfully established a temporary hatching nest here.

Countless low-level insects absorbed a large amount of nutrients and grew rapidly, attracting the attention of the five people.

By the time they discovered it, it was too late. Countless insects swarmed towards their position like a tide. The scene looked like the end of the world.

Such Zerg combinations also began to appear in various positions, making the defending extraordinary people miserable.

If a team with large-scale attack capabilities discovers it in advance, it will be easy to deal with. If it is not checked in time, a swarm of insects will descend on the position.

At this time, it is extremely difficult to deal with the hill bugs and other bugs at the same time.

In the battlefield command center, an officer was quickly coordinating the layout of the battlefield.

This headquarters, a spaceship, possessed powerful detection capabilities and firepower. As the brains of the battlefield, it could easily handle Zerg attacks.

"Hurry, the students in the A-189 defense zone are about to collapse! Send a team over to support them!"

"Report to the commander! We have no extra teams to send."

"What? Where's the student support team?"

"There is a team from the Dragon King Palace, but their captain, Lin Feng, is still out on a mission. Their current combat effectiveness cannot be compared to when Lin Feng was here."

"What else?" the officer asked again.

"And... one team is from the Xingqi Empire's Imperial Capital Academy, and their captain is Miss Ai Ling..."

When the commander heard Ai Ling's name, the expression on his face froze instantly and he did not respond for a while.

Finally, he spoke, "The situation is urgent. Miss Ai Ling's team is a strategic team, and now is their time to shine. You, go inform the team and ask them to go and provide support."

"Yes!"

After arranging other areas, the commander finally couldn't help rubbing his temples.

"Really? Why are all the troublesome teams on my side? Either they can't be mobilized or they don't dare to move. I haven't offended anyone. Could it be..."

"It seems the situation here isn't very good, sir. Do you need my help?"

Just when he was about to give up and have a good rest so that he could be in better condition to deal with the next wave of Zerg attacks, a young man's voice rang out.

The officer looked behind him and saw a man in a white Confucian robe and holding a feather fan, slowly waving the fan and walking towards him.

"Who are you……"

The officer thought a lot, but couldn't remember who this person was.

"My name is Tian Le, and I'm the military advisor appointed by the Ten Thousand Stars Federation. I heard that your defense line was having problems, so I rushed over to offer my humble assistance."

"Tengle? I remember now, you're the 'prophet'. Why do you speak so strangely? Who speaks like that these days?"

Tian Le gently waved his feather fan and said calmly: "Since the commander is not used to it, then I will speak frankly.

“I came here to get gilded.”

Commander: That’s quite direct…

"Ahem, don't say that. Your ability is still very useful. When do we start?"

Tian Le asked, "Start what?"

"Prophecy! Aren't you here to help us predict the Zerg's movements?"

"Of course not. I already said I'm here to gild myself. And the prophecy I've already used today, and using it again will cost me a price. It's not worth it in this situation."

After hearing this, the officer understood that this guy really came here to gild his reputation, and he did nothing but hang around.

After noticing the disappointment in his superior's eyes, Tian Le confidently waved his feather fan and said, "Although I am only here to gild my reputation, I am quite confident in my abilities. If there is any mission, you can leave it to me."

The commander glanced up and down at Tian Le, then chuckled and said, "I have a team from the Dragon King Palace here. Their leader won't be back for the time being. Can you lead them?"

Tian Le's hand, waving his feather fan, suddenly froze. He smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, you're joking. If you give me a team from the Ten Thousand Stars Federation, I can definitely command them. Or if it's the teams from the other two factions, I can also guarantee that they won't have any problems."

"But most of the people in the Dragon King Palace are former criminals. They don't obey discipline and only submit to power. Aren't you afraid that they will eat me, a weak scholar, if you let me manage them?"

Commander: "Since you can't do it, then please do as you please. It doesn't matter what you do, just don't die."

After saying that, the officer rubbed his eyes and left.

There will be a period of interval after the Zerg offensive ends. During this period, the Zerg will not attack but will choose to retreat.

According to past experience, this period is the time when the Zerg Queen is giving birth. The Queen is very weak at this time and no accidents are allowed to occur.

At this time, the defense of the Zerg nest is the highest, and with the current strength of the human race on the planet, it cannot be conquered.

But the army did not miss such an opportunity. During this period, the bombardment of artillery shells never stopped and even increased.

Although these shells will be blocked by high-level Zerg, it is almost impossible to achieve effective killing results.

……

After the Zerg offensive gradually stopped, the pressure on Zhong Zheng's team was suddenly reduced. With the help of Cade and Li Chi, they killed the hillworms together, directly freeing up these two anti-group killing weapons.

Finally, with the efforts of the three of them and two other martial artists, they were able to clear out most of the Zerg and find the temporary insect nest formed from the remains of the nanny bugs.

After Zhong Zheng reported all the information he had collected, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhong Zheng put away the hammer he got from Cade, and his tired expression was visible to the naked eye.

"Everyone, although we have overcome this crisis and obtained this point, our manpower is limited after all. I think it is time to request support."

After saying that, Zhong Zheng glanced at Cade.

Li Chi said in a deep voice, "In fact, we are still capable of withstanding the Zerg attack, but those hillworms are very difficult to deal with. They rush around recklessly, and my Undead are completely useless.

"But things are different now. I've transformed this bug into an undead. Although its abilities have decreased, it's still no problem for me to successfully entangle a hillworm and immobilize it. I think we can put the request for support on hold for now."

After a few seconds, Cade echoed, "I think we can continue. If possible, we can put the support matters aside for now."

Two martial artists: "Me too!"

Seeing the team's opinions, Zhong Zheng didn't want to go against the will of the people. Besides, they were indeed capable of dealing with the next attack.

"Okay, we'll keep our support advice. If I encounter a situation I truly can't handle, I'll request support directly."

"No problem." x4

After the five people had completed their collective discussion, the two martial artists in the team began to clean up the battlefield.

Many parts of the killed Zerg can be used as extraordinary materials to make weapons or other extraordinary items.

The military's recycling prices are very fair, and you can exchange them for a lot of things.

After sending the two martial artists away, Zhong Zheng and the other two began to review the battle that had just taken place.

"Okay, now that they're both gone, we can talk freely without any scruples," Zhong Zheng said to the two.

It's not that the three of them look down on the other two. After all, they are teammates. It's just that the two of them are too stubborn and can't understand some of the twists and turns.

"Cade, did you mean to use your trump card?" Zhong Zheng asked.

Cade nodded. "That's right! The three major forces have relaxed their suppression of mechanics. Even if some abilities are exposed, it doesn't matter."

Zhong Zheng nodded: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, all I can do is support you."

After confirming Kaide's thoughts, Zhong Zheng began to review: "In the battle just now..."
