“Hahaha! Is that all you’ve got? Foolish ground creatures, you can’t even defend against aerial attacks. This is what you get for being pinned to the ground and beaten!”

Baroque pushed up his glasses again, a wicked smile on his lips.

He marveled at his own power. A behemoth? So what if it was a behemoth? It was still just a target for him.

Tough?

He could kite it to death sooner or later. First, apply a slow debuff, then start the barrage.

“You few, probe it for me.”

Baroque pointed at several large, streamlined, metallic birds.

“Yes. We will let it know the mistake of not having air defense. Victory belongs to the great leader!”

Whoosh—

Their wings tucked in, their bodies immediately began a rapid descent. As their altitude decreased, their speed increased.

Confident smiles adorned their faces. This was a method of attack invented by the leader; no creature had yet been able to withstand it head-on.

With anticipation for the blossoming of blood, the giant avian released its claws.

With a sharp whistling sound, the metal rod, propelled by speed, struck the Thunder Beast cub hard.

Ouch! Hair loss~!

A fierce blow to the enemy!

The Thunder Beast cub was fine; such a small amount of kinetic energy was like being bitten by a mosquito.

If the Thunder Beast cub had a health bar, it would now be…

HP -1 (in red)

HP +100 (in green)

Automatic recovery, you know?

This didn't even hurt as much as the Spine Crawler cub's friendly fire.

However, a question arose: should it report this news, or should it be a heroic act by a single Zerg?

No, the Queen must already know what was happening here. Since she hadn’t contacted it, that must mean it was free to act. This was its chance to earn merit! (๑＞ڡ＜)☆

One Zerg taking on a small enemy force single-handedly and wiping them out—what beautiful words!

But this required the cub to use its clever brain. First, it had to lure these guys down, and then find a handle!

“Roar!”

It roared to the sky, then collapsed heavily to the ground.

Struggling, it stood up, trembling, as if it had used all its strength.

I’m injured, or so I pretend~

The Thunder Beast cub wasn’t stupid; it just didn’t usually need to use its brain.

Since it couldn't hit them in the sky, it would just lure them down.

It was like a cute little loli (๑＞︶＜) dancing suggestively in a room with a banner that read, ‘Severe punishment for resistance, leniency for confession.’ That was deception!

The Thunder Beast cub was doing something similar. After all, it was so cute. Shouldn’t one bully or, at the very least, gawk at a cute creature that was alone?

Baroque laughed heartily at this scene, spouting nonsense about how land creatures were foolish, and only the great winged race, blessed by the Evil God, were true living beings!

“Since it’s so effective…then give it a few more rounds! Damn it, daring to attack the Abyss’s dependents!”

With the command given, one giant avian after another dropped the weapons in their claws.

The resulting dust cloud lasted for several minutes.

At this point, the Thunder Beast cub was half-buried under the sand and motionless.

Baroque chuckled and said with a benevolent expression, “Let’s go, come down with me and take a look. You guys have worked hard. Later, take the corpse back, and I’ll give you an afternoon off, three hours of vacation, how about that?”

“Okay! Thank you, Leader!”

The Thunder Beast cub looked at those guys who hadn’t come yet and felt a little helpless. Could it be that it had been seen through? But…(┯_┯) This cub is so cute, why!

It lowered its head and looked at its little leg that it had deliberately perked up—how tempting!

The dark, viscous liquid still glistened brilliantly.

Damn it!

“Gah!!”

“!!!” They’re here! (๑＞︶＜)و

The Thunder Beast cub immediately closed its eyes and forced some white foam out of its mouth, looking as pitiful as if it had drunk a few bottles of pesticide.

“Haha, is that all there is to it? Minions, attack!”

As the sand was dug away, lifting chains were tied around the cub’s body.

Baroque came to the Thunder Beast cub, hands clasped behind his back, as if looking for the wounds.

He looked left and right, not even missing the area under the Thunder Beast cub's hind legs.

“How strange? Could it be that it wasn’t pierced? Or was it just knocked unconscious? But I don't see any external injuries on its head.”

As he pondered, he walked back to the Thunder Beast cub's head and carefully examined it.

“There really isn’t a wound?”

As he spoke, he reached out and touched it. The heavy feeling was like touching a wall.

At this moment, the Thunder Beast cub thought, o_o, this guy touched my head! That’s a place only Her Majesty can touch! I’m done for! I cheated on Her Majesty!! (ΩДΩ)

I’m unclean. My first time to give to Her Majesty…it’s gone! Gone!!!

As Baroque was thinking, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a bright brown-yellow in his peripheral vision, but it was fleeting.

“What was that? Must have been mistaken.”

At this moment, the Thunder Beast cub opened its eyes again, and its gaze met Baroque’s.

(╯‵皿′)╯︵┻━┻

(；oдo)

“Roar!”

“Holy shit!!”

Baroque almost instinctively took a step back, but he still couldn’t avoid the Thunder Beast cub’s attack.

A beam of white light flashed in the sand, it was the Thunder Beast cub’s other scythe buried underground.

The scythe swung. Half of Baroque’s wing was directly cut off by the Thunder Beast cub, but it didn't kill him. Damn the minotaur!! (〝▼皿▼)

Baroque was a little dazed. What was going on? He had been tricked, he had been played! (ヾﾉ꒪ཫ꒪)——

No, that wasn’t the main point. The point was that he had been tricked, he, a guy of unknown age, had been tricked!

Damn it!

“Gah!”

The dependents who had just reacted wanted to retreat, but they didn’t dare. Their leader was right here; they had to protect him.

Because Baroque couldn’t fly anymore, and the Thunder Beast cub was chasing them away, the dependents didn’t dare to leave, but they also didn’t dare to go and rescue Baroque.

Thus, a stalemate emerged.

The dependents were like cat toys, flying at a high but not too high position, luring the Thunder Beast cub to catch them, and then taking the opportunity to rescue their leader.

And the Thunder Beast cub was reaching out with its scythe, trying to hook them with great effort. (〃＞皿＜)

It was as if it was saying, ‘If you don’t come and die by my hand, I’m going to cry!’

In fact, the cub had a trick up its sleeve. It hadn’t fully extended its scythe, but only half of its maximum reach.

Tricking them once. It could make countless mistakes, but they only needed to make one…

Sure enough, as the dependents gauged the Thunder Beast cub’s attack range, their actions became increasingly arrogant.

It was somewhat like Tom drawing a line and beating Spike, who was tied up~

Hey, hit me, you can’t, nerrr, hit me you fool!~

Thunder Beast cub: (ㅍ_ㅍ) I’m a heartless swinging machine.

As expected, they were getting more and more arrogant. The Thunder Beast cub’s expressionlessness was taken as a sign of weakness. Thus, they lined up to provoke it!

It was the winged race’s contempt for ground creatures. At this moment, their vanity was satisfied!

So good!

The more angry the cub got, the more satisfied they became.

“Gah! Look, this guy’s getting anxious, haha, pretending not to care, who is he trying to fool?” (*๓´╰╯`๓)

“Gah, hey, when do you think he’ll break down? I really want to see it.” (¯﹃¯*)

“Hehe, who doesn’t? How about we move a little closer?”

“Wouldn’t that be a little dangerous…”

“Bullshit! Look at the leader, he’s filled with relief! Let’s go, I’ll lead the way, come with me. Isn’t it just a big guy? Doesn’t look very agile either. At worst, if we accidentally get inside, we’ll just fly away, don’t forget we have wings!” o((＞w＜))o

As time passed, these thoughts became more and more prevalent. The dependents exchanged glances.

“Brothers, watch me, I’m gonna spit——”

Before he could finish, there was a flash of white light—no, several flashes.

The Thunder Beast cub moved with lightning speed, slashing several times in a row.

Leaving behind only a screen full of bird feathers.

Baroque: (゜-゜)

He was dumbfounded. This thing had tricked him again??

Baroque couldn’t even count how many dependents had died this time.

He only knew that the thick bird feathers were really flying like heavy snow.

At least two or three hundred had died this time. Now, they were back to the beginning, measuring the Thunder Beast cub’s attack range again.

However, at this time, those poor ape demons were all dead.

A flat plain, with hundreds of Spine Crawler cubs, spraying wildly, who could withstand that!

Now, Lin Mo had arrived.

Seeing the Queen, the Thunder Beast cub immediately went from (づ｡◕‿◕｡)づ to (┯_┯)

“Wuwuwu, Your Majesty, this cub is unclean! He touched me!!”

First, report the crime!

Lin Mo couldn’t help but twitch his lips. The Thunder Beast cub’s current appearance was really unsuitable for acting cute. It was covered in sticky, foul-smelling liquid of unknown origin.

There was also the dirt and sand that had stuck to it when it was pretending to be a corpse on the ground.

And the blood and minced meat on its face and scythe from that slaughter just now.

All in all, it looked like a butcher who had just come from the slaughterhouse and hadn’t changed his clothes yet.

“Um…Cub, take your time, no rush.”

‘Wuwuwu…’・゜・(ノД`)

After recounting the whole story, Lin Mo still patted the Thunder Beast cub’s head.

The Thunder Beast cubs on the side were dumbfounded (꒪Д꒪). Was there such a high-end operation?

You can even compete for affection like this??

The Queen raised her eyebrows and looked at the avian dependents who were already frightened above,

And of course, Baroque.

His mind was filled with question marks!

What was this? Was he dreaming? How could there be so many monsters, and those guys he had never seen before!

It’s over, the Great Abyss is over!

His heart was dead. There was no way they could survive. There was absolutely no need to fight.

It was like when the Russian Red Army fought the Japanese Kwantung Army in the Northeast.

Numb. One side was all humans, the other was all tanks, there wasn't even a single person, there was no need for infantry-tank coordination, it was all tanks…

Baroque felt like that now. What was the point of fighting!

He might as well go dig potatoes!

No, he had to contact the leader and retreat immediately. They couldn't keep fighting here, they definitely couldn't win. Just close the account.

Thinking of this, he immediately contacted the loli leader and told her everything that had happened here.

After learning the whole story, Kaka had already instructed the Spine Crawler cubs to prepare to fire. Although they didn’t have much ammo left, they had almost emptied their magazines in front of the Queen. But as long as they held on for a little while, until the Queen’s personal troops, the Hydralisks, and the Overlord cubs arrived.

None of these little fry could escape!

Lin Mo patted the cub’s head, then looked at Baroque on the ground, who looked like he was wondering ‘Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?’

He went over and kicked his head, waking him up from his fantasy. At this time, Baroque hadn’t finished explaining, so he was forced to interrupt him.

He asked with a smile, “You, what do you do?”

“……”

“Huh? Are you mute? Or do you not want to talk to me?”

“……”

“Okay then, then—Kaka!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, the Spine Crawler cubs opened fire on the spot. When they were attacking the Demon Apes just now, it was high-altitude firing on a level trajectory, but now…it was proper air defense.

The classic sound of rushing wind, and bird feathers falling non-stop.

“! Wrong! Stop!”

He said that, but he had already begun recording the monsters here and their attack methods. The chances of him getting back alive were too low, he should just take this information back.

You think the Queen will stop just because you tell her to? You have a big face! (〝▼皿▼)

Kaka thought angrily, and then urged the Hydralisk cubs on the road, “The Queen is very angry, someone provoked the Queen! Hurry up!”

The Hydralisk cubs were now using all their strength, throwing out more than half of the Blade Worm cubs that filled their abdomens, like they were free.

Baroque wanted to go to Lin Mo to beg for mercy, but how could he have the chance.

He was hung up by Kaka’s tentacles.

For the Queen to take the initiative to talk to you was already a great favor, not only did you not thank her, but you dared to give the Queen attitude, you have a lot of nerve.

Dependents: (ヾﾉ꒪ཫ꒪)——

“Leader! You son of a bitch! I died so unjustly!”

Being hit by a Spine Crawler cub didn't mean instant death, after all, they were purely kinetic rounds, unlike the Hydralisk cubs' high explosives.

It would just create a big hole, and death would come from the failure of internal organs and excessive blood loss.

One body after another fell at Baroque's feet, and it was hard to tell if Kaka was doing it on purpose, none of them were off target.

Thump——

Splat——

One by one.

Baroque didn’t know how to express his feelings anymore. He wished he could slap himself a few times. He was so cheap. Why didn’t he just talk properly just now!!

…
