Versatile Mage: Traveling around the world with Lingling after being eliminated

Chapter 24: Reinforcements finally arrive, the swarm of insects collapses
The battle lasted from day till night

At the end of the battle
The fortress walls eventually fell.
The black swarm of insects swept in like a tide, trampling on the corpses of their own kind and the Soviet Russian guard mages.

Without the protection provided by the city walls and the height advantage, the Soviet Russian guard mages could only use human lives to slow down the advance of the Zerg.

No matter how brave the magicians are
The losses are still increasing exponentially!
There was no way. When the Zerg used their corpses to pave a path to the city wall, the endless swarms of Zerg could not be stopped by the mages in the fortress.

If it weren't for the last moment, Catherine would have finally killed the Hive Tyrant.

Causing the entire swarm to "instantly go offline"!
Otherwise, there might not even be half of the Soviet mages left in the fortress!
Among the thousands of guard mages who died in the battle, at least 60% died while using their bodies to cover their comrades after the swarm of insects rushed onto the city wall in large numbers!

Ye Qiu's Elf Swordsman was not damaged because he had more Elf Swordsmen to rotate.

Unlike those tired Russian guards
Sometimes it's just a small oversight

They will become food for the sword bugs or bug warriors!

Ekaterina landed in the center of the fortress with her exhausted body. Her hands were shaking and her armor was damaged.

It turns out that it is not easy to quickly kill a big guy who has gone crazy and whose strength is comparable to that of the Supreme Monarch!
If she wasn't stronger.
The one lying outside now is not the Hive Tyrant but her!

"Your Excellency, the Grand Military Commander!"

Several high-level mages who were recovering their magic power in the back gathered around, looking at Ekaterina with admiration in their eyes.

Today, their Eldest Son Legion has achieved another proud victory!

And this is all brought by Catherine!

"I'm fine. The Zerg monarch is dead. Tell all the mages who still have mana to go out and wipe out the Zerg in the fortress first, then wait for reinforcements. Don't provoke them before the Zerg makes any new moves!"

"Yes! Grand Army Commander!"

Several high-level mages left in a hurry
Since the death of the Hive Tyrant, the swarm outside the fortress has been stationary.

That is, the Zerg units in the fortress, because they can sense the breath of humans, subconsciously follow their hunting instincts and continue to attack one after another, but the Zerg swarm has lost its numerical advantage.
He soon fell into a disadvantage!

Ekaterina just said
The main reason is that we don’t want the remaining mages in the fortress to provoke the Zerg!

At least before these super-class mages recover their magic power, they should not provoke the Zerg. Ekaterina does not want to see any more casualties.

After several super-class mages used up their last bit of magic power to eliminate all the elite warriors who broke into the fortress, the Soviet Russian guards mages had already recaptured most of the lost buildings.

They have already advanced to the city wall.
At this time, the orders to retreat were delivered to the frontline troops.
No matter how unwilling the guarding mages were, they could only retreat a hundred meters at this moment, restore their magic power on the spot and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

the other side

Ye Qiu, covered in blood and stained with some knife worm flesh, had already arrived near the safe house. The guard mage who was guarding nearby just glanced at him and pretended not to see anything.

There is no way, the orders from the top Soviet defense officials cannot affect these hunters.

Furthermore
When the street fighting just started, the elven swordsmen led by Theron Rhea left a deep impression on many guardian mages.

After all, they have fought side by side for a long time. As long as Ye Qiu doesn't hang around the rest area of ​​the super-class mages.

Don't challenge the tense nerves of the Firstborn Legion~
He can freely go to most areas within this fortress!

of course!

The logistics department is not good either!

"Lingling?"

Ye Qiu came to the safe house mainly to see Xiao Lingling. Although at the most dangerous moment, the Zerg was still some distance away from the safe house, there were always some flying Zerg that broke through the defense line of the Guardian Mage.

Just not far from Ye Qiu, there were the remains of several mutant insect warriors with wings!
"Bastard!" The moment Lingling saw Ye Qiu, her eyes slightly red, she ran over with her short legs.

"Don't worry, this blood is from bugs!"

Ye Qiu pointed to the stains on his body.

Normally, when Ye Qiu uses the Frost Halberd to kill insects, no stains will be left, because both the flesh and blood will be frozen instantly.

But what can he do? He has a group of "loyal" elven swordsmen!

After the city wall fell, during the street fighting

Every time a bug comes
Before Ye Qiu could make a move, the loyal elven swordsmen protecting him would dismember the bugs in an instant!

The stains on Ye Qiu's body were also splashed in this way!
Of course, the elven swordsmen are even worse off!

Judging from the appearance.
Now it doesn’t look like an elf anymore!
"Who is worried about you?"

After making sure that Ye Qiu was okay, Xiao Lingling returned to her usual arrogant self.

Seeing this, Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly~
Just when Ye Qiu was still wondering if Lingling would get furious if he suddenly attacked and gave her a hug, a very loud roar suddenly came from outside the fortress.

The silent magician who was silently following Ye Qiu flew into the air and saw a fully armed army of mages appearing in the distance.

We are bombarding the disconnected Zerg swarm outside the fortress!

"Master, reinforcements are coming."

The Silent Magician returned to Ye Qiu and told him everything he had seen.

The arrival of the reinforcements meant that the battle was completely over. Both Ye Qiu and Lingling breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Ye Qiu suddenly remembered something and took out a special undead vessel.

The moment all the demons in the world die, their souls will leave their bodies. This kind of soul that leaves the body is actually the so-called spirit!

If a demon dies and its soul remains in its body and emits a special soul light, this soul will condense into essence!
And what is the use of spirit?

That's too much!
Precisely because of its wide range of uses, a slave-level soul essence can be easily sold at a high price of three to five million. If one has a general-level soul essence, it is even enough to buy a soul seed with a three-fold amplification!

And then there’s some left!
The essence of soul is very rare. Sometimes, even if you kill hundreds of monsters, you may not find one. Basically, they are residual souls with a greatly reduced price.

Furthermore, if one wants to collect spirit essences, one must use undead vessels or have an undead mage personally take action.

At this moment, Ye Qiu frowned.

His undead vessel was given to him by Old Man Bao, the former high priest of the Holy Inquisition.

It does not have the abnormal and efficient ability to synthesize residual souls like the little loach, but it can also automatically collect the residual souls and essences left behind by nearby monsters.

However, a great battle was over.
Not only is the undead vessel empty, but there is really nothing good in it!

Ye Qiu just didn’t understand!
It would be fine if those damn bugs didn't give him any essence or soul, but how come even the remaining souls were so little!
If he remembers correctly
The explosion rate of residual soul should be 100%, right?

Ye Qiu: "."
