"It's over," Su Ye said, watching the livestream. Any Lord who had received even a basic education knew what these creatures were.
Or rather, they were among the top ten enemies that Lords in the entire Lord World least wanted to encounter, with no particular order among those top ten.
The Zerg!!
Or perhaps, the Ravager species!!
They were the Zerg, and they were the Ravagers; they were also one of the natural disasters. No one wanted to encounter these things, as they represented destruction, death, and pillaging.
Their numbers were endless, even if this dimension was only a Black Iron Dimension.
However, the Zerg contained within were not something a black iron-level Lord could handle.
The Zerg in this dimension could at best be considered forgotten Zerg, but their numbers were still beyond what a black iron-level Lord could handle.
Su Ye looked at the comments; sure enough, the tone of the comments had changed.
[It's over, the streamer is dead for sure, there's no way out.]
[That's why you shouldn't chase clout; it's easy to die quickly.]
[They might not necessarily die, right?]
[To the person above, if you had studied more in school, you would know that this situation is hopeless. A dimensional rift isn't something you can open or close at will. The duration of a dimensional rift is twelve hours, which means whether you are invading or being invaded, you have to hold out for twelve hours.]
[Can the streamer hold out for twelve hours? Although he has a legion of ten thousand Lionman, the outcome is already sealed. If it were other monsters, it might be fine, but it just had to be the Zerg. I can only say it's a pity he's so unlucky.]
[There are risks to a dimensional rift; be careful when opening them, brothers. This is a lesson written in blood.]
[Twelve hours is too hard, let's disperse.]
...
Su Ye watched the comments in the livestream; no one was optimistic about the streamer, and naturally, Su Ye wasn't either. The most terrifying aspect of these Zerg was their endless numbers.
In terms of individual combat power, they were only average, but their numbers were the biggest problem, and also the most fatal one.
However, there were some elite units among the Zerg. Because the Zerg population was so vast, some strange variants had been born within such massive numbers.
These variants were Zerg mutants, often terrifying elite units that were not a bit weaker than a Hero Unit, even though it took billions of Zerg to produce one such creature.
The number of such creatures was not small; in fact, there were many.
Back to the present, Su Ye watched the livestream screen before him; countless Zerg rushed out from the yellow sand, shrieking as they attacked the Lord's Lionman troops.
Flying insects that covered the sky swooped down from above.
A brutal massacre began.
"Twelve hours is too hard." Su Ye watched the livestream screen; for a novice Lord, this was undoubtedly a life-threatening situation.
First, the troops were insufficient in number; second, the territory's defenses were inadequate; and finally, the strength of the troops was not enough.
Although Lionman were high-tier troops of the seventh rank, their strength was just so-so, and there were times when they would exhaust themselves. The levels of these Lionman were only between black iron 7-star and 8-star.
The only Hero Unit, a Golden Lionman, was only black iron 9-star. In this tide-like attack of insects, how long could they hold out?
"Retreat, everyone return to the territory!" the streamer Lord roared frantically. The Zerg were something he had never expected; he had only wanted to chase some clout and earn some money.
The Lionman roared, golden battle aura manifesting on their bodies. This was a characteristic of Orc troops: battle aura. At the same time, Orc troops also had a common talent: Berserk!
A talent that could increase strength in a short period, but the side effects were also very obvious: loss of reason, and entering a weakened state after the Berserk duration ended.
Now, quite a few Lionman had entered the Berserk state, losing their reason and no longer listening to the Lord's commands.
However, some Lionman who had not entered the Berserk state still followed orders and returned to the streamer Lord's territory through the rift gate.
After returning to the territory, the streamer Lord's face was extremely ugly.
The crisis had only just begun. Those insects would sooner or later enter the rift gate and come to his territory. At that time, he would have to make a choice: either give up his status as a Lord—while he would survive, he would be an ordinary person in the Main World, with no use other than being a stud—
or fight to the death without retreating, holding on until the end even if he died, perhaps hoping for a glimmer of a miracle to appear.
"Big shots in the livestream, is anyone selling a troop refresh recruitment card? Please, I'm willing to buy it at a high price," the streamer Lord said in a deep voice.
Su Ye watched the Lord who was livestreaming, his eyes showing no emotion. Buying a troop refresh recruitment card at a high price had the sole purpose of recruiting troops.
Now, every additional troop meant a little more chance of survival.
As time passed, quite a few Lords actually traded with the streamer Lord. Taking the traded troop refresh recruitment card, the streamer Lord immediately began recruiting.
Lionman after Lionman walked out of the barracks.
"It's over," Su Ye couldn't help but say, watching this streamer Lord.
The loyalty of these newly recruited Lionman was not high; it was basically around fifty or sixty. Counting his talent bonuses, it would be at most around sixty-five.
This loyalty could only be called average, but unfortunately, his territory was currently in a life-or-death moment, and the recruited Lionman immediately sensed the aura of death.
Loyalty was plummeting, and consequently, the way they looked at this Lord had changed.
One had to know that troops, regardless of their rank, had their own thoughts and emotions. To these newly recruited troop units, this Lord was recruiting them just to send them to their deaths.
If not for that Golden Lionman Hero Unit, these newly recruited troops would likely have hacked this Lord to death immediately.
However, right now, these Lionman were also looking at the Lord with very unfriendly gazes.
The streamer Lord also knew that recruiting this way would lead to big problems, but he had no choice now. He had to find a way to survive first; if he couldn't even survive, what did the loyalty of the troops matter?
Roars and shrieks rang out; when the first insect set foot in this Lord's territory,
this Lord's fate was already sealed.
As time passed.
Lionman fell one after another, and more and more insects crossed the rift gate and entered directly into this Lord's territory.
The livestream screen went black.
Su Ye watched the blacked-out livestream, unable to help but shake his head. The final outcome for this Lord wouldn't be any better; he would either die or lose his status as a Lord.
There were only these two outcomes. As for whether he could survive? There was no possibility of that. It was mainly because no one from any major power was optimistic about him; his talent and troops were decent,
but they were only decent, not worth anyone spending a large amount of resources, especially the precious resources of the novice period, to save him. He wasn't worth that price.
