Lord of Hyranza

Signa didn't intend to pursue it further, after all, Celia Cooper is still useful to her now, and she can occasionally have a few words with herself, so she said, "I mean... who is in the Magic Notebook?" Create a sub-dimensional space in it?"

"It's Cyrus Hickok, an old friend of mine, who is proficient in this kind of space magic." Celia Cooper replied casually.

"I suddenly had an idea..." Signa's eyes became bright at the moment, but she only spoke half of her words.

Her tone was a little different from her usual one.

Celia Cooper shuddered for no reason.

"Forget it, it should be very troublesome to do it now, so let's do it first!"

After finishing speaking, Signa closed the magic note casually, threw the note on the bedside table, got into the quilt, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep...

The moonlight from outside the window came in again and sprinkled on the floor of the room.

……

Selena felt someone move her arm, and with sleepy eyes, she saw Suldak sitting up from the bed, lightly putting on the linen shirt.

She glanced at the window and found that it was still dark, so she lazily pulled the sheet and asked casually:

"Why are you leaving so early?"

Seeing that he had woken Selena up, Suldak leaned over and kissed her cheek apologetically, and said softly:

"There are still a lot of ghost-pattern soldier ants waiting to be dealt with at the barracks. It is estimated that there will be new harvests on the north wall tonight. These resources cannot be wasted."

Selena dragged her tired body, stretched out her arms from the bed, picked up the nightgown thrown on the floor, and said:

"I'll go get you breakfast."

But Suldak hugged her, covered her with a blanket, and said:

"Don't be so troublesome, just eat something in the cafeteria of the military camp later, you will sleep more..."

After speaking, he opened the door and walked out of the bedroom, found the set of leather armor that had been wiped clean on the wooden shelf in the living room corridor, and quickly put it on.

Riding on the horse, hurriedly left the small building.

……

Suldak was thinking about how to deal with those ghost pattern soldier ants along the way.

When he returned to the barracks, he found that the ogre Gulitam was grilling a ghost-striped red ant on a bonfire in the morning light.

It can be seen that he has already cut open the abdomen of the ghost-striped red ant, cleaned the acid inside, and put the whole ghost-striped red ant on a log. eat clean.

The hard shells cracked under the charcoal fire, and the meat inside was completely bluish white.

The abdomen is filled with some hot cream, which looks like a giant coconut crab...

"Suldak, would you like some, it tastes good."

The ogre warmly invited Surdak to share this big guy with him.

(In fact, he invited Andrew just now, but the Nanai natives don't seem to like the taste very much, and they vomited after just a few bites.)

Suldak felt that he didn't have such a strong stomach, so he quickly refused: "Forget it, I can't enjoy this delicious food."

Gulitum didn't care, and immediately tore off the last giant leg that was nearly two meters long and covered with barbs, and knocked it with a bone-crushing stick. Those hard carapaces that became brittle under the charcoal fire immediately It cracked open, exposing the tender meat that was steaming inside.

Suldak saw Andrew coming out from the cafeteria, accompanied by several squadron leaders, and asked, "Why so early?"

Andrew didn't say that he was forcibly woken up by the ogre and had barbecue together.

"I can't sleep, I want to go to the north city wall to have a look..."

Andrew said in a muffled voice.

Suldak said to Andrew: "Wait for me!"

As he spoke, he went to the cafeteria of the garrison camp, took a piece of baked wheat cake and walked out, and rushed to the north city wall with Andrew.

With the light of dawn, one could see someone standing at the top of the city fighting with two ghost-patterned soldier ants from a distance. After a while, the fighting subsided, and the huge ghost-patterned soldier ants were pushed down the inner city wall.

Chapter 763 The Secret of the Ghost Pattern Soldier Ant

In the early morning, heavy fog appeared in the Dodan Canyon.

The entire northern city wall was shrouded in thick fog, and the flames below the city wall caused the fog to continuously rise upwards. The archers at the top of the city could not see the ghost-striped red ants in the distance, and could only wait until these ghost-striped red ants crawled closer. shoot it.

A large number of ghost-striped red ants rushed up from both sides of the mountain wall, and started a hand-to-hand fight with the heavy armored infantry on the top of the city wall. The guards on the city wall were caught in a bitter fight.

The archers withdrew to the arrow tower for a while, and shot arrows continuously, suppressing the ghost pattern red ants on the city wall.

However, in the dense fog, there were too many ghost-striped red ants coming up from the mountain wall. The corpses of ghost-striped red ants were piled up on top of the city, and there were still a large number of ghost-striped red ants coming up.

The city guard who controlled the bed crossbow kept Suldak's order in mind, and stared at the giant soldier ants mixed in the ant colony.

The giant crossbow bolts are basically used to shoot these ghost pattern soldier ants that just emerged from the top of the city. As long as there are soldier ants appearing, they will be nailed to the mountain near the top of the city by the giant crossbow bolts.

Throughout the morning, more than a hundred ghost-patterned soldier ants have been nailed to the left mountain wall. Each soldier ant is as big as an adult one-horned bison, nailed densely to the mountain wall.

Some soldier ants broke free from the giant crossbow bolts, and their bodies were broken in two.

The bodies of some soldier ants fell down the wall, while others with their heads attached insisted on climbing up the wall, trying to spit acid.

It's just that the abdomens of these soldier ants have already been broken, and they can only linger on, attacking the heavy armored infantry on the city with huge pincers, and some heavy armored infantry with spears will work together to pick these soldier ants down from the city.

There are about 150 heavy armored infantry on duty at night, in addition to nearly [-] city guards and [-] mercenaries.

At this time, 150 city guards armed with continuous shooter crossbows desperately guarded the 35 bed crossbows at the top of the city.

The heavy armored infantry, under the leadership of Adams and Gallatin, forcibly squeezed the activity space of the ghost pattern soldier ants on the east and west sides of the city wall, trying to force the ghost pattern worker ants on the top of the city back to the mountain wall.

Suldak and Andrew boarded the north wall.

I happened to see Adams in silver armor standing at the front of the line with a tower shield in his hand. Around him were some mercenaries and veterans of the infantry regiment. These people formed a human wall, brandishing the epee in their hands, struggling to clean up the crowd. Ghost pattern worker ants at the head of the city.

Adams was standing on the high pile of corpses piled up by ghost-striped worker ants, and a group of worker ants surrounded him.

Adams, standing at the front of the line, swung the long sword in his hand, a white horse flashed along with the blade, and the heads of several ghost pattern worker ants that rushed forward were cut off by the long sword at the same time.

However, Adams was also very embarrassed at this time. His leg armor and mithril battle skirt were covered with acid and dark brown body fluids spewed by ghost pattern worker ants. There were already serious corrosion marks on them, and there were several scratches on his body. hurt.

The heavy armored infantrymen and mercenaries around him were also wounded, and several veterans held shields to protect Adams' body, protecting him from the attacks of the worker ants.

Neither Suldak nor Andrew expected that the ghost-striped red ants would take advantage of the morning fog to attack the northern city wall.

By the time they climbed up the north wall, the corpses of ghost pattern worker ants had piled up like mountains on both sides of the city wall. The city guards who followed Andrew immediately held a multi-shooter crossbow and shot a round of arrows at the worker ants with hard carapaces. .

The fine steel arrows pierced through the armor of the ghost-pattern worker ants, nailed into their bodies, and spattered light brown blood everywhere.

The worker ants rushing to the front let out hissing screams after being injured, and wanted to hide behind, but they were surrounded by ghost pattern soldier ants coming up from behind, rushing forward like a wave...

Seeing this scene, Andrew immediately took big steps and jumped onto the city wall.

Pulling out the butcher's ax from behind, a layer of flames gushed out from his hands, like a meat grinder caught in an ant colony, and some stumps and broken legs flew out of Andrew.

The momentum of the ghost pattern worker ants coming up was finally stopped.

Suldak also followed closely behind Andrew, and a halo of power appeared under his feet.

He rushed to the top of the wall and stood with Adams.

Adams and the surrounding heavy armored infantry suddenly felt a force gushing from their feet like a spring, and Adams and Suldak rushed into the ant colony almost at the same time...

Behind Andrew also followed a team of fresh troops.

Everyone stood on the city wall a few meters wide, and forced the ghost pattern worker ants that came up to the north wall little by little.

The battle situation at the top of the city gradually stabilized like this. The ghost pattern worker ants coming from both sides of the mountain wall were suppressed by the crossbow arrows again. Once again blocked the attack of worker ants.

The newly arrived city guards threw the corpses of worker ants piled up on the city wall into the fire wall under the city wall, and cleaned the city wall again.

It's just that some sour liquid and light brown blood remained on the city wall, exuding a disgusting stench. Buckets of clean water were poured on it, and sewage mixed with acid, worker ant body fluids, and blood flowed down from the top of the city.

……

The fog also began to dissipate in the morning light.

Some of the ghost pattern worker ants that crossed the north wall became the training targets of the town's reserve corps.

These ghost pattern worker ants are extremely aggressive, and at the same time they are not afraid of death, and they don't know how to hide. They were quickly wiped out by the reserve army in the city.

……

When the ghost pattern red ants charged up the city wall, almost all the bed crossbows on the city wall were shooting and killing the ghost pattern soldier ants.

The huge crossbow bolts were shot out one after another, containing a huge impact.

It is such a short distance, almost as long as it shoots the ghost pattern soldier ants, it will fly them out and nail them to the side wall of the mountain.

After the fog cleared, more than a hundred giant crossbow arrows were stuck on the mountain wall.

Some ghost-striped soldier ants were nailed to the mountain wall and could not break free. At this time, they were still struggling and wriggling among the giant crossbow bolts densely covered with mountains. Climb the ladder and cut off the crimson head with a long-handled scythe.

After the city defense guards executed the ghost pattern soldiers, they dared to approach the mountain wall and began to collect the giant crossbow bolts that had been shot into the mountain wall.

Ordinary arrows are difficult to recover.

In just two days, more than [-] arrows were fired by the garrison and city guards in Dodan Town.

This amount accounts for almost half of the arrows in the warehouse of the City Defense Brigade. These arrows are almost all the materials shipped over by the logistics department of the Wilkes Military Headquarters in the past three times. However, there are still a large number of fine steel arrows in the warehouse. Clusters, as long as the arrow shaft and tail feathers are installed, a brand new arrow can be made.

Although the consumption of ordinary arrows is huge, at least there is still a way to raise them. The trading houses and some merchants in the town have arrows in their hands.

But the situation of the giant crossbow is different. If it can be recovered, it still needs to be recovered as much as possible.

The arrow tip of each giant crossbow is thicker than a spear, and each giant crossbow arrow tip is mixed with some magic metal to enhance hardness and sharpness.

This kind of giant crossbow arrow belongs to military management materials, and it is almost difficult to replace it if it is lost.

Suldak hoped that in the fourth batch of materials that the logistics department will soon bring, it is best to bring enough materials such as kerosene, giant crossbow bolts, and fine steel arrows.

……

In this early morning defense battle, almost all the guards on duty on the city wall suffered some injuries.

If the acid rot sprayed by the ghost-striped red ants is not cleaned up in time, the wound will continue to deteriorate.

When applied to the skin, the skin quickly becomes inflamed, itchy, and blisters develop, which then burst, causing severe pain and further eroding the subcutaneous tissue.

These sour liquids need to be washed with light salt water in time, but fortunately, the resident has already prepared them.

The city guards and heavy armored infantry on duty at night withdrew from the city wall. Even if they suffered some minor injuries, they had to take a shower in the barracks as soon as possible.

Compared to Adams, Gallatin's injuries were more serious. He was almost exhausted fighting on the city wall, and he couldn't lift his shield with his hands.

When he was evacuated from the city, his body was covered with acid, and one arm was pierced by ghost worker ants with giant pincers. When Adams saw the wound at first, he thought that Gallatin's arm was broken. A triangular piercing laceration that took up almost the entire right forearm.

His body was a little weak, and he sat on the wooden platform outside the small building.

Two confidantes from the cavalry battalion were treating Gallatin's other wounds, and every time he touched the wound, he screamed in pain.

Adams walked up to Gallatin, took out a bottle of light red healing potion and stuffed it to him.

Gallatin waved his hand, but didn't take the bottle of healing potion. He endured the pain and said to Adams, "Since I came back alive, I don't need this. It's better to keep this thing."

Adams was wet all over. After such a big battle, instead of being tired, his face was radiant, and even the wounds on his body had quickly healed.

Gallatin hesitated for a moment before asking softly, "Is the effect of that magic pattern really that good?"

Adams did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "Are you a little regretful?"

Gallatin smiled bitterly and said, "Regret? Even if I want to regret it, I still can't afford the money..."

At this time, two cavalrymen ran over and said to Gallatin, "Captain Gallatin, your injury is serious, and it's your turn to receive treatment!"

"I've been waiting here for a long time, how is the condition of the wounded this time?"

Gallatin stood up with the support of his cronies, and asked the cavalry as he walked.

A cavalryman said: "Twelve soldiers were killed on the city wall, and three seriously wounded were not rescued. The other seriously wounded will take more than ten days to recover. There are many lightly injured soldiers..."

Adams and Gallatin looked at each other. Neither of them expected such a tragic battle, and the casualties were not high.

Moreover, the slightly injured soldier is estimated to be able to recover soon...

……

Suldak was busy all morning in the consulting room remodeled from the guest room of the small building before putting away the holy light torch standing beside the bed.

Almost all the sacred aura in his body was consumed, and at the same time, more than 70 sacrifices of Moonblade Fire Wolf's heads were wasted.

After all, it is a time of war, and the garrison must maintain the strongest combat power as possible.
