Lord of Hyranza

The guards of the city defense only need to pay attention to the ghost-striped red ants swarming up from the mountains on both sides of the city wall.

Adams was in charge of the night watch. He led a group of heavy armored infantry on duty to the top of the city. Seeing the sea of ​​fire at the foot of the city wall, he was surprised and speechless for a while.

"Pay attention to people keeping an eye on the movement of these red ants in the canyon. Once the situation is out of control, send people to the garrison camp to call for them!"

Provoking the scorching heat, Suldak gave Adams instructions.

Adams walked to the city wall to see the situation outside, but before he reached the wall, he was forced back by the billowing heat.

I had no choice but to grin, and replied to Suldak: "Yes, Commander!"

Chapter 759

Adams guarded the city all night.

The fire below the city wall also burned all night.

The corpse of the ghost-striped red ant was turned into ashes in the flames, leaving only a shallow layer of ash under the city wall, and the rocks under the city wall were melted by the flames, turning into uneven glass, but it was full of Impurities.

At dawn, the corner of the city wall was still full of fireworks, and the heat wave could be felt from ten meters away.

The ghost-striped red ants on both sides of the mountain wall stopped their offensive, and the heavy armored infantry at the top of the city fought all night, and finally they were able to catch their breath at dawn.

At this moment, all the monsters in the canyon were devoured by the ghost pattern red ants. Except for some white bones and rocks exposed by the ghost pattern red ants, even the barren grass in the canyon and the woods at the foot of the mountain disappeared completely that night.

The only thing that remains intact is the north city wall. The ghost pattern red ants gathered under the city wall retreated 50 meters away from the city wall.

The densely packed ghost pattern red ants huddled together, facing the heat wave under the city wall, they did not dare to take a step forward.

Gallatin climbed up the city wall in the morning, and he leaned close to Adams to see that half of his short blond hair was burned by the fire, and his handsome face was also blackened, making him very embarrassed.

Just as he was about to make fun of Adams, he saw a commotion among the ant colonies surrounding the city.

The ghost-striped worker ants dodged to the sides, and huge ghost-striped red ants emerged from the colony. These red ants with darker patterns had huge pincers on their heads, and sharp claws on each leg. The spikes of the giant ghost-striped red ants are at least three times larger than the common ghost-striped worker ants.

Gallatin's eyes were a little straight, pointing at the large red ants below the city, and asked, "Adams, what are those?"

Adams hadn't seen it either, and standing with Gallatin, he didn't know what to say.

"Ghost pattern soldier ants, they are the real fighters in the ant colony." Suldak walked over and said to the two.

Enduring the heat wave coming up from below the city, he stood by the city wall and checked the degree of damage to the city wall below, and it seemed that the situation was not bad.

Turning around, he said to one of the several squadron leaders behind him: "Go and get the catapults under the city wall to start, now the entire canyon is full of ghost-striped red ants, just blow out a flint, you can smash Don't be reluctant to give up stones if dozens of them die."

"Yes!" The squadron leader climbed up the city wall, waiting for such a sentence.

He ran down the city in a hurry, but he didn't dare to complain.

The catapult is like a long lever supported on a huge wooden frame. One end is a spoon-shaped throwing groove, and the other end is connected to a huge and strong iron basket box filled with counterweight boulders.

The iron basket containing the counterweight stones weighs several tons and is hoisted to a two-meter-high platform with a block of pulleys.As long as the wrench on the platform is pulled, the flap of the platform will automatically open, and the entire iron basket will fall down in an instant.While falling, pull the lever of the catapult to throw the flint in the spoon-shaped groove at the other end.

This kind of catapult usually needs to calibrate the throwing angle before throwing.

This has been debugged a few days ago, and now it only needs to be loaded with ignited flint, and it can be started.

The manipulating soldiers responsible for manipulating the catapult had already climbed onto the tall wooden frame, and the flint was also loaded into the spoon-shaped groove.

Standing at the head of the city, Suldak told a clerk:

"Tell Selena, let her inform the quarry in the town to process the flint with all its strength, and the blacksmith shop will also make a large number of arrowheads. Now mobilize the whole town to sharpen the arrow shafts, and make sure to increase the stock of crossbow arrows to [-]. Bundle, tell the merchants in the town that now the Warcraft materials are only exchanged for military supplies, we need more kerosene, twine, and arrowheads, and let those merchants who come to trade with gold coins and magic crystals get out of here."

Suldak paused for a moment, then turned his head to see Adams still standing there, his eyes widened and he shouted at him:

"Adams, why are you still here?"

Startled, Adams was about to explain.

Suldak drove him off the city wall and said, "Hurry down and rest, the beast horde has just begun, we are not worth it, how long do we have to guard, we must be prepared for a protracted war..."

The ghost pattern red ants still did not dare to pass through the scorching fire wall.

The flints were thrown by the catapult and exploded among the ghost pattern red ants, which caused quite a commotion.

Those soaked burlap cloths wrapped around stones, ignited and thrown out, rolled into the ant colony, almost plowed a 20-meter-long deep furrow, and finally exploded into a piece of flaming fragments.

A row of ghost pattern soldier ants rushing to the front of the ant colony finally found a breakthrough from both sides of the city wall. The archers on the arrow tower suppressed the ghost-striped red ants coming from the rock wall.

On the contrary, the ghost-patterned soldier ants who rushed to the front were hit by a few arrows, and the fine steel arrows shot by the alloy bow could not pierce the ghost-patterned soldier ants' armor.

For a while, emergency signals were sent out on both sides of the city wall.

Andrew wanted to be on duty at night. If there was no emergency during the day, he would rest in the barracks.

Samira and the ogre Gullitum followed Suldak to the top of the city, and the ogre Gullitum followed Gallatin and rushed to the cliff on the west side of the city wall for support.

Suldak and Samira rushed to the east side of the northern city wall, and saw a huge ghost pattern soldier ant about to climb over the wall. Samira was still running, so he stopped immediately and took the Taking out the hunting bow of the 'Painting of Withering' on his back, a phantom of a great elf appeared behind him, and Samira squatted halfway to draw the bow...

There seemed to be rays of light continuously gathering around the arrow tip.

At the moment when he opened his bow and released his arrows, the ghost pattern soldier ant looked towards Samira with a pair of huge oval eyes, and it opened its huge pincers, wanting to pounce on Samira.

The arrow had already turned into a white light, and it hit one of the ghost pattern soldier ant's eye at a speed that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye, and the arrow was deeply embedded in it.

Suldak stepped on the halo of power and rushed to the front of the ghost pattern soldier ant, and the blood red crescent in his hand stabbed Guiwei soldier ant without hesitation.

At the moment of stabbing, Suldak uttered a short rune language from his throat.

'Tir-El'

A magic pattern then lit up in front of him, and moire lines lit up on the edge of the blood-red crescent moon. When the edge cut into the pliers of the ghost pattern soldier ant, it was like cutting into a piece of soft cheese.

In an instant, the three-meter-long ghost pattern soldier ant was decapitated by Suldak.

A group of worker ants hiding behind this ghost pattern soldier ant were also shot and killed by the archers on the arrow tower.

Samira had already climbed onto the bed crossbow on one side, and was about to shoot down the ghost-patterned soldiers on the cliff far away with the giant crossbow.

At this time, Suldak instructed Samira from the side: "Put in another one and let it climb up. This should be the most brainless type among the second-level monsters!"

As Suldak said, he threw the head of the ghost-striped soldier ant in a corner of the city wall. The body of the ghost-striped soldier ant was also dragged up the city wall by two heavy armored infantrymen, and then thrown into the inner city wall. And the guys from the leather shop are busy skinning the beasts they hunted yesterday...

Samira sat on the console of the bed crossbow, staring at the ghost-striped red ants swarming up from the distant stone wall, resisting not to pull the mechanism in her hand, and let the front one crawl closer and closer.

Chapter 760 Material Transaction

"Put in another..."

Suldak's voice was a little hoarse, his body was covered with the dark brown bodily fluids of ghost-striped red ants, and he was holding a blood-red crescent in his hand. A group of ghost-printed red ants.

The archers shot and killed the ghost-striped worker ants one after another, leaving only the ghost-striped soldier ant that rushed to the front.

Its huge body climbed up to the top of the wall, and its whole body was stronger than that of a bison. A pair of giant pincers grew out of the soldier ant's head, which could easily bite through logs as thick as their thighs.

The forelegs covered with bone spurs were inserted into the cracks in the stones of the city wall, causing the stones on the city wall to loosen a bit.

Ten heavy armored infantrymen hid behind the wall, holding their breath, waiting for the ghost pattern soldier ant to climb over the wall.

The two infantrymen at the front held large double-edged axes in their hands. The moment the forelimbs of the ghost-striped soldier ants were on the wall, the two axes slashed fiercely at the weak joints of the forelimbs of the ghost-striped red ant, and immediately smashed their forelimbs cut off.

The ghost-patterned soldier ant let out a scream, and stabbed the heavy armored infantry with the giant pincers on its head, thinking about cutting the heavy armored infantry at the waist.

The heavy armored infantry holding a double-edged giant ax dropped the giant axe, rolled backwards, and hid behind the heavy armored infantry holding a tower shield. The giant claws of the ghost-striped soldiers hit the square tower shield, and the four soldiers behind simultaneously used their shoulders When they touched the shield, they were knocked to the ground.

The four heavy armored infantrymen behind them took the opportunity to thrust the spears into the joint between the ghost pattern soldier ant's head and chest cavity, causing it to get stuck on the top of the wall.

Then all the infantry soldiers quickly dodged, and a large amount of acid was sprayed from the mouthparts of the ghost pattern soldier ant.

Samira controlled the bed crossbow and aimed at the ghost-striped red ant and shot a giant bolt. She was less than ten meters away from the ghost-striped red ant. No way to break free.

Armored infantrymen held spears and stabbed the ghost-weave soldier ant's huge head and made it unable to struggle.

Two heavy armored infantry took the opportunity to rush forward, picked up the giant double-edged ax that was thrown on the ground, and took the opportunity to chop off the soldier ant's head...

This is already the sixth ghost pattern soldier ant.

Although the strength of this kind of soldier ant is far inferior to other second-level monsters, the inside of the skull is the same as that of second-level monsters. Each soldier ant has a magic core in its skull.

It is not yet known whether the hard shells on the ghost pattern soldier ants are magical materials, after all, those shells are too hard.

Samira took out a foul-smelling magic core from his sticky head, but his face was filled with joy, and he proudly said to Suldak:

"These big guys seem to be very good! Each has a magic core."

Suldak approached the wall, looked at the densely packed ant colony below the city, and felt that although the ant colony under the city wall was still crowded together, they seemed to have become orderly. The large ghost pattern soldier ants move.

The corpses of the ghost pattern soldier ants at the foot of the city wall have been completely reduced to ashes, but the fat refined from the bodies of the dead red ants has gathered in the oil tank below the city wall, and a wall of fire is still burning fiercely.

The ghost-striped worker ants did not dare to approach half a step. They could only go around from the side mountain wall. The corpses of ghost-striped worker ants were piled up on both sides of the mountain wall. The fire under the city wall gradually spread to the side of the mountain wall. The corpses here It was not soaked in fire oil, so it couldn't burn, but there was billowing and choking smoke.

There are often some red ants falling on the steep rock face.

"Slow down, let's kill one by one." Suldak said to Samira, looking at the ghost-striped red ants rushing out of the thick smoke.

Suldak ordered the two squadron leaders of the city defense guards to gather the city defense guards equipped with multi-shooter crossbows on the east and west sides of the city wall, mainly shooting the ghost-pattern soldier ants crawling over the rock wall.

"Archers pay attention to the mountains on both sides of the canyon, and be careful not to let the ghost-striped red ants come in." Suldak ordered.

Samira turned over and climbed onto the bed, and excitedly said to the city guard beside him, "Put in another one..."

……

The beast tide came a bit suddenly this time, but it was expected.

Residents in Duodan Town were waiting for the moment when the beast swarm came. They saw thick smoke billowing from the city wall, and the fire outside the city burned all night. They heard that the city was so hot that people could not stand on it, and people used hanging towers all night , Transport buckets of clean water up and pour it directly on the city wall.

Residents in the town were all discussing how many ghost-striped red ants were killed in the fire last night. I heard that the big red ants were picked out and killed individually. Those red ants were piled up behind the north city wall, a group of leather workers The shop boy is peeling the skin.

Because those carapaces are too hard, skinning knives can't cut through them at all. Currently, hand axes are used to split the hard carapaces.

The master craftsman of the leather shop said that this kind of hard armor leather was useless, but it attracted many businessmen in the town to watch there.

However, before the garrison commander, Baron Suldak's consent, no one would dare to take these ghost-striped red ants even if they were all rotten.

The merchants were quietly discussing in private how to buy the hard armor of these ghost-striped soldier ants from Commander Suldak.

They hope that Commander Suldak is as ignorant as that town's leatherworker and disposes of all these carapaces as garbage, and then they can transport these hard carapaces to Wilkes without spending too much money. The city can make a fortune.

But seeing those leather shop guys in the town almost smashing the carapace completely in order to split the hard carapace, it is heartbreaking.

How can this thing be smashed with an axe!

There are also two teams of mercenary members on the city wall, and they have also joined in the hunt for the ghost pattern soldier ants.

That big guy looks like a bull. If there is no bed crossbow that can nail it to the stone wall on the side of the city wall, it will be a lot of trouble to defeat it head-on.

For the members of the mercenary union, at present, only by assisting in the defense on the north city wall can they get a share of hunting Warcraft.

A few days ago, under the mobilization of Suldak, some mercenaries volunteered to defend the city wall. These mercenaries are all locals in Dodan Town. There is no reason to refuse.

Once Dodan can't hold on, the family will be gone.

There were also some mercenaries who couldn't understand Suldak's style of doing things. They didn't want to obey Suldak's orders, and they didn't want to fight desperately on the top of the city, so they chose to give up participating in the defense of the city.

These people hid at home, and occasionally got together, expecting those ghost-striped red ants to teach this eccentric and solitary garrison commander a hard lesson.

Only in this way can he change his face, come to the door in person, and ask them to go to the city wall to help defend.

When they were drinking afternoon tea, they even thought about how to climb the city wall and kill everyone.

But... After a day and night of fierce fighting, the battle situation seems to have stabilized.

Those mercenaries who took the initiative to apply for defense on the city wall happily walked down from the city wall, and everyone gained a lot. After all, these mercenaries are very powerful in personal strength, and almost all of them directly participated in the hunting of ghost-striped red ants. Therefore, the rewards obtained are also very generous.

The harvest of the mercenaries today is about three gold coins.

Moreover, these mercenaries who actively applied for defense assistance will also be given priority when arranging the date of defending the city later.

Those mercenaries who didn't take the initiative to apply for defense assistance at the beginning, but now see the rewards of assistance defense, want to apply for defense assistance at the top of the city, they can only be incorporated into the reserve team and wait for the opportunity.

I don't know how many people are regretting for a while.

……

While the merchants were discussing how to carry out more trade and cooperation with the garrison in Dodan Town, Ms. Selina, the chief logistics officer of the garrison, summoned the merchants in the town and held a meeting in front of the warehouse of the city defense brigade. Distributor Conference.

As soon as Suldak came down from the city wall, he was pulled here by Selina to participate in the dealer meeting.

In front of the warehouse of the City Defense Brigade, there were actually more than 30 businessmen standing. They were whispering together and talking about the battle situation on the top of the city wall today. No one expected that the garrison could block the first wave of the beast horde so easily.

Once you enter the battle rhythm, the next thing to do is to stick to it.

And on the first day of persistence, more than 20 ghost pattern soldier ants have been hunted, which is not a small gain given the current market price of monster materials.
