Facing the Insectoid Kin who held an absolute advantage in both numbers and strength, the Mud Swamp Frogmen gradually found it difficult to resist.
Their screams echoed in the lake water, and their once orderly ranks became chaotic.
Some Mud Swamp Frogmen tried to escape but were entangled by the River Earl Worm's silk, unable to move.
The silk was incredibly tough; the more they struggled, the tighter it wrapped around them, leaving the Mud Swamp Frogmen to cry out in despair in the water.
Others were caught by the Ming Ling Devil Men and instantly cut down by their sharp blades, their bodies floating in the water, slowly moving with the current.
The battle didn't last long before the Mud Swamp Frogmen suffered heavy casualties.
Some remaining Mud Swamp Frogmen with life strengths above 20 points also lost their ability to resist under the attack of the Insectoid Kin and were captured.
They were tightly bound by ropes, their eyes filled with fear and despair.
Some Mud Swamp Frogmen were still struggling, trying to break free from their restraints, but it was all in vain.
They were taken back to be prepared as Parasites, losing their freedom from then on and becoming part of Zhou Qi's force.
This small war thus ended, and the Insectoid Kin returned to the Geocentric Base with the joy of victory.
They found Zhou Qi and reported the detailed situation of the battle to him precisely.
After listening, Zhou Qi fell into contemplation.
He sat on the massive stone chair, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest, his eyes revealing a thoughtful glint.
He knew that among the three major forces in the geocentric region, the Mud Swamp Frogmen occupied the Geocentric Great Lake and had always had less contact with the other two forces on the shore.
Now that conflict had arisen with the Mud Swamp Frogmen, if he did not pursue the victory, they would surely become a major hidden danger in the future.
Moreover, during this time, the Thirteenth-Order Ant Queen had been continuously breeding. Although the priority was to breed creatures skilled in land combat like the Four Fiends Insect Soldiers, around 200,000 He Bo Insects had also been bred.
Coupled with Wu Ka, who was skilled in water combat and had been strengthened to the fifth order, significantly increasing its strength, it was a good time to attack the Mud Swamp Frogmen Tribe.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qi immediately summoned Wu Ka. Wu Ka walked slowly towards Zhou Qi with heavy and powerful steps.
Its massive body was like a small mountain; every step it took caused the ground to tremble slightly, and the surrounding Insectoid Kin unconsciously made way for it.
Wu Ka lowered its head, its massive head almost touching the ground, its eyes filled with awe for Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi looked at Wu Ka and said with firm eyes, "Wu Ka, now that we have fallen out with the Mud Swamp Frogmen, I plan to pursue the victory and take down their tribe in one fell swoop. Your strength has greatly increased, so this battle will rely on you to lead everyone."
Wu Ka let out a deep and powerful roar, its voice filled with excitement and fighting spirit, and quickly replied, "As you command, my Lord."
Its body trembled slightly, and the scales on its body shimmered with a deep light, a sign of its eagerness for battle.
Zhou Qi then began to arrange other matters.
He carefully selected 10,000 aerial combat Zhu Yan Demon Insects from the numerous Insectoid Kin.
Each of these Zhu Yan Demon Insects was enormous, with wingspans over three meters long, shimmering with an eerie light in the sunlight.
Their compound eyes gleamed with a blood-red light, exuding intense aggression, as if they could devour their enemies at any moment.
Zhou Qi also selected a hundred Ming Ling Devil Men. These Ming Ling Devil Men were not only powerful but also possessed considerable intelligence and strong combat capabilities.
Their bodies were agile, and their movements were swift. In battle, they could calmly analyze the situation and flexibly respond to various circumstances.
With everything ready, the massive army marched towards the Mud Swamp Frogmen Tribe.
The Insectoid Kin advanced in an orderly manner, and the powerful aura emanating from them seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
In the water, the He Bo Insects lined up in neat formations, their pincers gleaming with cold light in the sunlight, like sharp blades.
The Zhu Yan Demon Insects circled in the air, forming a black shadow, the sound of their wings flapping as loud as thunder.
The Ming Ling Devil Men patrolled around the formation, vigilantly observing the surroundings.
Along the way, regardless of race or strength, every living creature in the water that obstructed these Insectoid Kin was killed, silencing the entire surface of the water.
Upon reaching the central island in the Great Lake where the Mud Swamp Frogmen were located, Wu Ka took the lead and charged towards the island.
The lake water instantly surged up in huge splashes, hitting its hard scales with crackling sounds.
Wu Ka opened its massive maw and let out a deafening roar. The roar echoed far across the lake surface, like rolling thunder, reaching deep into the Mud Swamp Frogmen Tribe.
In the Mud Swamp Frogmen Tribe, the people who were already in a panic became even more frightened upon hearing this roar.
The tribe's High Priest stood atop the central high tower, looking at the gradually approaching insect army, his face terribly grim.
A hint of anxiety was revealed in his eyes, but more so, anger.
He tightly gripped the weapon in his hand and shouted loudly, "Everyone, don't panic, prepare for battle! We Mud Swamp Frogmen won't be easily defeated! We have lived here for countless years and must not let these outsiders take away our homeland!"
His voice was grand and far-reaching, echoing through the tribe, attempting to boost morale, but the soldiers, looking at the continuous stream of foreign troops stepping onto the island, could not hide the fear in their eyes.
Wu Ka didn't care how the enemy prepared. It unleashed the power of the vast sea, controlling the surrounding water elements. The lake water quickly churned, forming massive walls of water.
These water walls were dozens of meters high, like angry giant beasts, rushing towards the Mud Swamp Frogmen's buildings and defensive structures.
Wherever the water walls reached, they produced a rumbling sound, as if they would destroy everything.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The water walls crashed against the Mud Swamp Frogmen's houses and fortifications, making huge noises.
The Mud Swamp Frogmen's houses were instantly washed away, with stones and wood flying everywhere.
Some houses were directly knocked down by the water walls, and the people inside were buried under the ruins before they could escape.
The fortifications were also destroyed and scattered, and some Mud Swamp Frogmen soldiers were directly swept away by the water walls, disappearing into the lake water, leaving only a few desperate cries.
200,000 Ninth-Order Hebo Bugs followed closely behind Wu Ka, quickly spreading out.
They swam flexibly in the water, like agile fish.
The He Bo Insects attacked the Mud Swamp Frogmen's bodies with their pincers, each attack carrying great power.
Their pincers were as sharp as scissors, easily tearing through the Mud Swamp Frogmen's defenses.
Some He Bo Insects used their pincers to clamp onto the Mud Swamp Frogmen's weapons and flicked them away with force; others directly attacked the Mud Swamp Frogmen's vital points, instantly incapacitating them.
