-----------

A menacing ambiance emanated from it. After only a few moments, giant Zergs emerged from the passage. They crawled out one after another, they were only about 3 meters long and their entire bodies were dark. They were covered with a layer of black armor, that reflected a bright light, but their bodies appeared slimmer than the previous Zergs of the same size.

Their intelligence was also not low. After entering the passage, surprisingly, they did not charge; instead, they simply stopped and their eyes stared at the wall not far away. There were also two small tentacles on their foreheads, constantly moving. It seemed like they were communicating.

Cross and the others who saw this frowned. They were not afraid if the Supernatural were powerful, they were only worried if the other side had wisdom. This new batch of Zergs seemed completely different from the previous ones that went berserk upon entry.

Claptrap-!, Claptrap-!, Claptrap-!, Claptrap...

There were not just them; behind them, there were also flying Zergs. The bodies of these flying Zergs were covered in gray and black armor, and their speed was faster. They flew even higher, in an instant, they already were in the sky.

It wasn't just them either; even more lumps of soil squirmed underground and their movements were much quicker than the previous Nydus Worm.

In other words, at this 11th hour, they were enhanced evolution of the Zergs, attacking from air, land, and underground. They didn't give anyone a chance to catch their breath.

However, that wasn't the end.

BOOM-!, BOOM-!, BOOM-!, BOOM...

The sound of an earthquake echoed, it was as if some giant creature had stomped on the ground, even the people on the wall could feel the tremor.

A few seconds later, a massive figure appeared at the entrance of the passage. This was a behemoth over 30 meters in size, its height was also more than 5 meters. It was the largest Zerg they had encountered. Compared to the earlier ones, its size was more than 3 times larger, its exterior was also covered with a thick layer of gray armor.

Sebastian immediately gave this Zerg a name, Hunterling.

This Hunterling looked bulky and heavy, its movements through the passage were slow. However, after seeing the Astra Militarum on the wall, the ambiance on its body instantly shifted. It charged up with rapid acceleration, rushing towards the wall. Along the way, it kicked up a cloud of dust.

When the Astra Militarum saw the Hunterling for the first time, they fired the Artillery immediately and Shell rushed towards these Creeper Hosts.

BOOM-!, BOOM-!, BOOM-!, BOOM...

Countless Artillery Shells rained down upon them, explosions erupted around the Zerg. This caused violent vibrations and loud noise.

On the ground, dust from the shells mixed with dust raised by the Hunterling, turning the area into a dusty storm, so visibility was severely reduced.

"The thickness of these Hunterling' armor is even stronger than the previous ones." After the shelling, they observed that the Hunterlings were still unharmed.

A scientist quickly analyzed, "Additionally, these Hunterlings are not slow at all, and they're hard to defeat with Shells."

The faces of everyone froze once more. Fortunately, they were about 500 meters away from the wall and the large crater created by the Crimson Blood was still there, so it temporarily blocked the progress of these Zergs, but they paid it no mind.

Thump-!, Thump-!, Thump-!, Thump...

The massive body of the Hunterling tumbled in.

However, the Hunterling behind them ignored their fallen companions and they jumped in as well, trampling over the earlier Hunterling. As more Hunterling jumped in, this large hole filled up visibly.

"Burning Tactics-!" Cross shouted.

Immediately, barrels of kerosene were thrown down one after another. After they fell into this big pit, Shells followed closely behind.

BOOM-!

As soon as the Shell hit the kerosene, flames erupted. The Hunterling immediately began twisting in agony, as each of them was set ablaze. Although their bodies had extremely heavy armor, the armor didn't cover their abdomen.

When the kerosene ignited from below, several Hunterlings were set on fire, and flames quickly spread.

Seeing the effectiveness of the tactic, Cross's eyes lit up. Then he immediately shouted, "Increase the attack and use all the remaining Trebuchets. Is there enough kerosene?"

"There's plenty more in storage," Someone next to him replied, though Cross didn't relax just yet.

Then he saw that, behind the Hunterling, the other Zerg began to charge and their speed was astounding. They moved in a flash, disappearing from one spot and reappearing several dozen meters ahead. They didn't even travel in a straight line, instead, they zigzagged in an S-shaped route.

"Could these be the King-Class Zerg…" Watching this, Sebastian couldn't help but speculate.

Zerg also had a highly hierarchical structure, as they were divided into distinct classes. Typically, they were separated into Ordinary Zergs, Advanced Zergs, King-Class Zergs, and even stronger, Royal Zergs. The higher the class, the greater the intelligence, and the stronger the power.

Although the Hunterlings were massive, their intelligence wasn't much different from the previous bugs. They still went berserk at the sight of humans, but these were different; they understood the battlefield.

As Sebastian speculated, to the people in the City Hall, it was evident that these were King-Class Zergs.

The S-shaped path made it extremely hard for shells to hit them, so within 2 kilometers, the M.G. started to fire. Its intense firepower erupted like a dragon-breathing flame.

BANG-!, BANG-!, BANG-!, BANG...

Countless bullets were whistling and all of them were aimed at the Hunterling. They had taken countless hits, but surprisingly, they were able to block all of them, as the bullets hit the metallic shell on the surface.

TING-!, TING-!, TING-!, TING...

There was a sound like hitting steel. Nothing seemed to work, but the M.G. still didn't stop firing.

Finally, under the barrage of countless bullets, a hole was opened in the armor of a front-most Hunterling.

Puff-!, Puff-!, Puff-!, Puff...

It was unable to block the firepower of the M.G. In an instant, there were dozens of holes in the shell almost at the same time. Bullets passed through the armor and hit their body.

The Hunterling was flipped to the side, but the other Zerg didn't flinch, they still rushed over. They also hid behind the Hunterling relying on their superb defensive power to resist the attack of the M.G.

"These Lurkers are highly intelligent." Watching this scene, Ewart couldn't help but speak up.

"Everyone, beware of the Lurker breaking through the defense line." Cross did not dare to be careless, so he reminded the group again.

If they broke through the front, with the agility of these Lurkers, it was estimated that they could quickly climb the high wall.

But at that time, the Viper Mutalisks in the sky were unwilling to be left alone, they also launched an attack on the Astra Militarum, and each one of them swooped desperately.

"Add 10 more M.Gs to take care of the Viper," Cross ordered.

As the degree in the sky was bigger, the previously installed M.Gs were not enough, so the Astra Militarum had set up a team to deal with the Viper in the sky.

Fortunately, there were many units in the battle and there were also 50,000 reserved Guardsmen on standby, so there was no limit to the rotation, which meant there was no need to make everyone too tired.

[ ===== ]

The races created by other candidates were not so lucky, all of their Supernatural races had persisted until now, so they were almost exhausted. The candidate with the largest number of units had only just over 10,000. This was also done by using certain special resources, if their background was normal, it couldn't be more than 5,000.

Baily's Blessed Order Clan, who were hiding in the trunks of the Treant, were using their bows to deal with the attacking army of Zergs. The Thunderbirds in the sky were even more, as they were dropping a few attacks now and then.

But this time, the Hunterling and Lurker were too much. With the thick armor of the Hunterling, it was very difficult for the Blessed Order to break through. Their arrows were more powerful than bullets, but their number was limited. Previously, they were entirely dependent on the defense of the Treant, so they were able to make it through.

But at this time, with the speed of the Lurker, even they couldn't hit them. Soon, they rushed to the base of the Treant, some Lurkers frantically attacked the Treant while some were climbing up crazily. The Treant could only hit the Lucker to protect themselves.

However, that was not all, the more fearsome Nydus Destroyers had appeared underground. Their body size didn't increase, but they were faster and more flexible.

Around the Treant, there was rampant squirming. Subsequently, the ground split apart and a Nydus Destroyer appeared. They did not break out of the ground, instead, they started to bite the roots of the Treant. The roots of the Treant were very hard, but with so many Nydus Destroyers biting, it still got chewed up.

If seen from the sky, the 5 Treants were surrounded by packed Zergs of unknown size. They had completely fallen into the siege of the army of Zerg, so the situation looked very urgent.

It was not just Bailey, other candidates had reached an extremely dangerous situation. At this time, everyone saw that the difficulty increased more than double in this 11th hour, it was the same as the rumor.

[ ===== ]

"The number of geniuses that will fall at this level is estimated to be very high." One master lamented.

"It was the same in previous years." Another Master smiled and said, "In the last round, it will give you some points, but not too many. It's pretty good to get 60 or 70 points."

"It's also especially hard this year." An admissions veteran also nodded and said, "If not for the fact that this session of candidates is also great, it is estimated that less than a hundred people would have been eliminated long ago."

[ ===== ]

"Let's see which geniuses will be eliminated." For the people of Oakleaf School, there was unprecedented tension.

They didn't even dare to breathe as their eyes were fixed on the projection. Their eyes kept sweeping back and forth between the scenes on Sebastian and Bailey's planets.

The Astra Militarum's M.G. were shooting wildly. If it was an M.G. from Earth, it would likely have already stopped due to overheating. But here it was made of unique metal, so there was no need to worry about this, only a little heat dissipation was needed.

Dozens of M.Gs kept shooting at the ground and the sky and the corpses of Luckers and Vipers kept falling to the ground. With this dreadful web of firepower, there were no Zergs that were able to rush in.

10 minutes passed.

More powerful Lucker and Hunterling rushed in, but still, they couldn't break through the raging fire and the line of fire of the M.G., as they were blocked at 300 meters away.

Under the leadership of Fleming, the Nydus Destroyers were twisted by the flames underground, so they couldn't get through.

Seeing this scene, the administrators and teachers of Oakleaf School's hearts beat faster and faster because they discovered that the overall top position seemed to be his.

As compared to Sebastian, Bailey's side was much more thrilling. The Treants were constantly being attacked by Luckers and Nydus Destroyers.

Little by little, time was ticking away.

The next ten minutes were slowly crawling forward.
