Kelvin felt like he was within a storm. The insects around him had rushed him and pressed on him with so much weight that he almost fell down.

But when he activated his ability, they were the ones to fall down. A large gap that was a kilometer across appeared with him at the center in the midst of the insect storm.@@novelbin@@

The gap was being filled by insects, but the speed at which he was killing them was too fast for them to fill up the gap completely. He even had to move to other areas to kill more insects.

As he was doing so, he was earning merit points by the tens of thousands. After all, each insect was worth one merit point.

It was a pity that they weren't worth any kill points, but he couldn't complain much because of the constant sweet notification of his merit points increasing.

There were other soldiers who performed admirably too. In fact, there were a lot of them because the insects were weak individually.

As long as a soldier possessed an ability that is capable of producing a deadly large area of attack with a power greater than that of the individual insects, they too managed to slaughter the insect swarm.

One of them was the X-rank Ice giantess and her ice domain. She created a lot of ice in the space of a hundred meters around her that slowed down the insects, froze them, and killed them instantly.

As time passed, the pressure of the insect swarm on the force field reduced exponentially. It had only been 30 seconds, but by the looks of things, the soldiers alone would be able to defeat the insect swarm.

The outcome became set against the insects when a radiation gun began to be distributed to the soldiers. It was like a flamethrower, only that what it sprayed was deadly invisible radiation.

This meant that the acid rain couldn't diminish its power significantly. The only thing that they had to worry about was the gun being destroyed by the acid rain and exploding.

But as long as they returned to the large barrier before their personal force field fell, everything would be fine.

Even the weak soldiers could wield this new dangerous weapon, so the insect swarm actually became too small for everyone to kill. The elves noticed this and moved on with the second stage of the attack.

In fact, they stopped holding back completely and sent every subsequent stage of attack against the humans. They were just short of joining the attack themselves.

The ground began to shake as colossal war beetles, trapper spiders, and soldier termites began to take to the field. Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire

The ground was shaking because these insects were very big and very heavy. It is the one thing that they all had in common.

Each one was as big as the tree cutters that the humans made to fell trees. They were flesh and blood, but they were as heavy as the tree cutters made of metal.

They knocked down trees as they rushed towards the force field to reinforce the insect swarm.

As Kelvin inspected them with Extraordinary Perception, he realized that the weakest of them was S-rank. They were fewer in number compared to the insect swarm, but they possessed more power and were more dangerous.

Each type of insect had specialized capabilities that made them dangerous individually. But they also worked together, which increased their danger as a whole.

The war brittle had incredible defense and strength. They stood in front of the rushing reinforcements and took it upon themselves to block any attack.

The soldier termites had large biting mouthparts that Kelvin was sure could snap a human in half like a twig. He was sure of that because he saw the termites snap a giant tree in half.

The termites were short-range fighters, so they couldn't do anything yet. Their prowess would only be shown when they reached the barrier.

In the meantime, they were vulnerable to ranged attacks. Fortunately, they had the war nettles blocking for them and protecting them.

In the very back were the trapper spiders. They were the fastest and most agile of the three. But they lagged far behind and took advantage of the large distance between them and their destination to launch ranged attacks.

As spiders, they were poisonous and could be deadly in close quarters. But they didn't wait to reach their enemies. Instead, they shot webs at their enemies, entangled them with the webs, and then dragged the enemies towards them.

Any human that got dragged wouldn't reach the spiders alive. They would either be impaled with the horns in the heads of the war beetles or be snapped in half by the soldier termites behind them.

Kelvin saw this, and his eye twitched. He grumbled, "How is this not a clash between the two armies? This is already a full-blown battle between two armies."

He didn't see any difference between the elves joining the battle because this was exactly their fighting style, even if they joined the battle. They would command other creatures and create tree soldiers to fight for them.

Rarely do they put themselves in danger by fighting an enemy personally. At best, they would use their bows and arrows from a distance.

But he also understood that this was just the tip of the iceberg. They would be more if the humans showed weakness.

The elves were not actually ready to attack yet. They too, like the humans, were accumulating firepower for a thunderous attack that would sweep their enemies away.

More and more creatures heeded the call of the kings and traveled across the world to join their army. In time, they would have an army with a billion soldiers.

But then the humans tricked them and demoralized them. So they became angry and began attacking earlier than planned.

If their surprise attack works well, then they might turn it into a true attack and weed out the human army from their world completely.
