Chapter 187: Chapter 133: Insect Plague, Self-Destructive Attacks

Ghost Lake City.

On the spacious flat ground in front of the city gates, dense ranks of golems were neatly arranged in formation.

In the center were thousands of Stone Golems, with flanks composed of swarming Dual-bladed Spiders.

Massive Steel Golems and Elite Stone Golems stood immobile at the forefront of the array, akin to unmoving rocks in the sea.

Upon the city walls, Carolina watched the golem legion below, inwardly marveling.

The master truly deserves to be called a master, creating such a powerful and terrifying army single-handedly!

It’s simply incredible!

The human-faced lion standing behind Carolina also wore expressions of shock, their gazes at Sunan’s back full of awe.

As a race that revered the law of the jungle, these human-faced lions had witnessed the rapid expansion of Ghost Lake City under Sunan’s rule for over a year, transforming their initial hatred into admiration.

A strong leader capable of commanding such a powerful army is certainly worth following.

Sunan was unaware of the human-faced lions’ thoughts. His gaze extended past islands and lakes, falling into the distant darkness.

Relying on Spiritual Power, he could faintly sense numerous creatures rapidly approaching from that direction.

Carolina and the human-faced lions seemed to sense something too, looking guardedly into the distance.

Soon, eerie rustling sounds emerged from the darkness, like countless limbs crawling across the ground.

The next moment, many bizarre creatures suddenly charged out of the darkness.

These creatures resembled jellyfish with legs, their limbs swiftly moving, while their translucent, pale white bodies fluttered like curtains.

They reached the shore and without pause leaped into the water, their bodies lifted by the lake, floating like duckweed. Connected one after another, they quickly spread towards Lake Heart Island.

In no time, a white ’floating bridge’ formed between the shore and Lake Heart Island.

Following closely behind, countless Insect Beasts surged from the darkness, scrambling onto the ’floating bridge,’ rushing madly toward Lake Heart Island.

These Insect Beasts resembled enlarged centipedes, except their head was replaced by a giant, tooth-filled maw emitting a chilling, low growl.

“It’s Jellyfish Insects and giant sandworms!”

Carolina said grimly, then furrowed her brows tightly.

“Master, something’s not right, the insect horde seems excessively large.”

The view was filled with densely packed insect hordes.

This was just the first wave of the insect attack, and the main force, the Funeral Beetles, hadn’t appeared yet. The number of insects already matched the peak of previous assaults, which was utterly unusual.

Sunan, hearing Carolina’s recount of past insect disasters, could also see that the current situation was clearly abnormal.

However, he remained silent, only gazing solemnly downward.

Seeing the master’s calm demeanor, Carolina also regained her composure, fixedly observing the situation below.

The charging insect horde hit the golem legion’s formation like a raging tsunami against an unmoving rock, with frontline giant sandworms instantly shattered in a scatter of blood mist.

Meanwhile, the Steel Golems and Elite Stone Golems at the forefront remained unmoved and unscathed, raising their massive fists to continuously slaughter Insect Beasts.

Unable to penetrate the blockade of Steel Golems and Elite Stone Golems, the insect horde gradually spread to the sides, clashing with Stone Golems and Dual-bladed Spiders.

In the blink of an eye, the flat ground before Ghost Lake City became a battlefield of blood and storm!

The battle quickly reached a fever pitch!

There were so many giant sandworms, densely packed almost covering the stretch from lake shore to the flat ground before the city gates, roughly estimated at two to three thousand, with even more giant sandworms continuously surging from across the lake.

In terms of numbers, the insect horde completely overwhelmed the golem legion.

Yet, the combat strength of giant sandworms was inferior to that of Funeral Beetles, let alone compared to the golems.

Against the insect horde’s assault, the golems did not retreat an inch, like a thick wall, firmly blocking the insect tide, preventing any progress.

Dual-bladed Spiders charged directly into the insect horde, slashing with sharp forelimbs causing carnage in their wake.

For a time, the more numerous insect horde was firmly pinned before the city gates, unable to breach the golem legion’s defenses despite their furious charge.

In the distance, at the cavern’s ceiling, a giant stalactite hung down, and at its opening, the Red Widow and Duke Black gazed at the distant battle, their expressions rather tense.

“Such strong puppets!” Duke Black spoke with apprehension in his voice, “I never expected puppets en masse would have such astounding combat effectiveness!”

He had once sent subordinates to probe the golems’ combat strength in the mine, surprised yet not terrified.

But in this moment he suddenly realized, when these golems gathered in hundreds and thousands on the battlefield, their combat power was far from a simple addition.

They were an obedient, fearless, immensely powerful army!

With such an army, it’s no wonder that Wizard was disinterested in collaborating, even contemplating a counterattack against Kasham.

The opposition undoubtedly had the confidence and strength!

“Indeed formidable!”

The Red Widow slightly nodded, her enchanting face unusually lacking in a flirtatious smile, her scarlet eyes similarly filled with seriousness.

“Originally, we thought we had already overestimated Ghost Lake City’s military power, but now it seems we still underestimated them.”
