Chapter 202 - 8.9
The Zergs swarm attacked the soldiers without mercy. Some insect spewed poisonous spit, some had a bite that could tear the skin, some had sharp sting that could penetrate the human body. It was a brutal battlefield.
The soldiers were valiantly fighting against the Zergs. The Lieutenant wanted to help their General, but General Vega stopped them and ordered, "Focus to help the soldiers! I will fight that giant praying mantis myself!"
The Lieutenants gritted their teeth as they knew it would be a life and death situation for General Vega. But it was expected that he would say that he didn’t want many soldiers to die under his order.
Thus, they obeyed the order and helped the soldiers to fight smaller Zergs to minimize soldier casualty. The giant praying mantis was about to attack a soldier before General Vega’s sawblade attacked its head.
The giant praying mantis jumped and used its scythe arm to attack General Vega. The General dodged it by jumping back. The giant mantis then used its other arm to attack the General.
General Vega used his sawblade again to shield him from the attack. He thought the giant mantis would get cut from the saw blade, but it turned out its arms were as tough as steel.
"Damn!" General Vega gritted his teeth and charged in with his drill. He targeted the mantis’s abdomen, but the mantis noticed it and flew away, giving General Vega the information that it was a vital part aside of its head, of course.
Thus, General Vega flew with his mech and continued on using his sawblade to deflect the mantis attack while pressing the giant mantis by continuously targeting its abdomen with the drill.
The giant praying mantis realized that it couldn’t stay like this forever because this human was not playing around. He had incredible endurance and strength. Thus, the giant mantis retreated for a moment.
