Lord of Hyranza

After walking out of the small building, he looked at the corpses of these giant ghost-striped soldier ants, and found that there was a faint magic breath flowing from these giant ghost-striped soldier ants.

Those magic patterns are all concentrated on the legs of the giant ghost-striped soldier ants, every giant ghost-striped soldier ant has it on its legs, and there is a breath of life magic flowing on each leg.

Suldak hurriedly strode over. He found that the life-magic patterns were completely covered on the six legs, but some life-magic patterns were complete and some were incomplete. After careful inspection, he finally figured out Among the thirty outriggers of the five ghost-pattern soldier ants, there are actually eleven outriggers with complete life magic patterns, or exactly the same magic patterns...

Worried about the loss of the magical aura above, Suldak peeled off all the complete life magic patterns from the ghost-pattern soldier ants.

This work is very difficult. The ghost pattern soldier ants are covered with hard carapace, and the skinning knife can't cut it at all. The whole outrigger can only be removed with a single-edged axe. As for how to remove these The magic pattern of life was peeled off from the outrigger, and he hadn't thought about it yet.

The magic breath revealed by this kind of magic pattern is strength and tenacity, so the slender legs can support a body weighing more than a thousand pounds, and the strength magic pattern is naturally indispensable...

Suldak just removed these eleven outriggers, and it took until dawn.

Feeling dizzy and almost exhausted, Suldak packed these outriggers into the magic sealing box before returning to the small building and threw himself on the wooden bed to sleep soundly...

……

In the past few days, there have been high-intensity battles on the city wall, and the use of fresh meat from monsters for half a month. While some veterans in the cavalry battalion have improved their physical fitness, some people have successfully advanced to the next level. twenty.

This situation is very rare in other military camps.

Adams, who had been guarding the city wall all night, saw two more cavalry in the battle, and the phantom of a big sword suddenly appeared behind him, so he knew that two more cavalry had made a breakthrough.

The cronies beside him murmured in a low voice: "Damn it! How come it seems to have become so casual after breaking through now..."

Adams looked at the confidant, and ordered: "Okay, go and count the specific number of guards in the city, and prepare to change defenses. Let me know that everyone will not be on duty tonight. Gather tomorrow morning, and we will start guarding during the day..."

……

Gulitum stood at the top of the city with a bit of regret.

After the morning mist cleared, the ghost ant queen in the canyon was still surrounded by a group of personal guards, moving slowly among the ant colony.

All ghost pattern worker ants approached in an orderly manner, as if they were worshiping their own king.

"The newborn ant queen is quite cautious. She has never stepped half a step into the range of the bed crossbow." With a hood on her head, Samira jumped from a bed crossbow console to the city wall, standing on the ogre's side. The side looks extraordinarily petite.

"Would you like to go, I'm going to have a look at those big ghost-patterned soldier ants, maybe the meat is more delicious." Gulitum carried the bone-crushing stick on his shoulder.

This night, I don't know how many ghost-pattern soldier ants were knocked off their heads. Although this is something that Suldak expressly forbids, it is indeed very comfortable to do so.

Samira was the first to walk ahead, her voice a little hoarse:

"Let's go, I want to sleep for a while too. Gulitum, tell me...how can I become stronger?"

Gulitum followed Samira, walking up the steps step by step.

If he hadn't taken care of Samira, he would have chosen to jump directly onto the slow platform, so that he would be able to stand firmly under the city wall after turning back four times.

Now he could only follow behind the half-elf archer, step by step.

The ogre thought about it for a while, and then said: "If you are also an ogre, it's very simple! Just keep eating."

He shrugged his shoulders, and touched the cracks in the city wall with his thick fingers. The wall was very solidly built.

He went on to say: "The words of the elves are simpler, they live longer, they just hide in the tree of life to enjoy themselves all day long, they have seen everything after living a long time, they have superb combat skills, drink some life tree sap every day , it’s hard not to advance.”

Then the ogre sighed again: "But you are a half-elf! You may have to figure out the exact way to go."

Samira stopped in front of the slow steps of the steps of the city wall. She lowered her head and stared at her slender and round calves wearing salamander leather boots. A small figure suddenly appeared around the boots with light yellow patterns. In the wind circle, she asked Gullitum: "Like this?"

The ogre looked at Samira in surprise, and said in disbelief, "So you've already felt angry! I heard that half of your foot has stepped into the world of the second-rank powerhouse!"

Samira shook her head and said in a low voice: "It feels a little bit worse, I don't know what is missing..."

The ogre smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, maybe killing a few ghost pattern soldier ants will give us some inspiration."

……

This is the fourth day since the ghost-striped red ants gathered under the north city wall, and Andrew feels that today has passed extremely long.

The ant colony below the city stopped attacking for the first time. There was a faint black flame on the mountain walls on both sides. At the foot of the mountain, there was a pile of worker ant corpses nearly two stories high. The fire below was not too big. All the worker ant corpses Under the smoke and fire, it became a new fuel.

The fire wall on the front of the north city wall had been extinguished in the morning.

There is no kerosene to support the combustion, and there are no corpses of ghost-striped worker ants, so the fire wall cannot continue to burn.

The ghost pattern worker ants outside the city once again densely pressed towards the city wall.

The ten catapults on the inner side of the city wall continued to throw flints into the canyon, but for hundreds of thousands of ghost pattern worker ants, the lethality of the small catapults was really limited, and the gaps created by the rolling stones would be destroyed by other ants in an instant. Filled with ghost pattern worker ants.

Suldak was not in a hurry to continue pouring kerosene into the oil tank. The kerosene in the warehouse could ignite two fires at most. Before the next batch of kerosene arrived in Dodan Town, the corpse kerosene needed to be used sparingly.

This time the ant colony has a king, and is able to form a simple queue. Eleven giant ghost-striped soldier ants stand at the front of the ant colony, followed by countless ghost-striped worker ants and ghost-striped soldier ants. Approaching under the city wall.

The ordinary arrows on the top of the city have no effect on the giant ghost pattern soldier ants at all.

Two hundred archers and two hundred city guards stood guard on the top of the city, holding longbows and crossbows, but they did not shoot arrows.

A row of rolling stones at the head of the city has already been prepared, just wait for the ants to rush up the wall, and then they will be pushed down by the guards.

This time the ant colony didn't rush up blindly, they let the giant ghost pattern soldier ant stand at the front, and began to approach the wall of fire.

The ghost-striped worker ants beside them began to try to spit acid into the embers. Although the distance they spit acid was not too far, they were still able to spit to the edge of the embers.

Puffs of foul-smelling white smoke rose from the embers, and the embers began to die out rapidly.

The ant colony under the city began to move rapidly. Worker ants kept rushing to the front, spraying out all the acid in their stomachs, and then quickly retreated. The waves lapped on the embers.

The ash field less than five meters wide was covered with ashes half a meter deep, and eleven deep trenches were plowed out by eleven giant ghost-patterned soldier ants. They climbed up the hot city wall awkwardly, howling in pain, But he refused to take a step back.

The new ant queen behind the ant colony was just outside the range of the bed crossbow, staring at it with cold eyes.

Andrew at the top of the city looked at Suldak aside. The 35 bed crossbows had already started to adjust their shooting angles. Apart from ordinary crossbows, there were five different crossbows placed on the top of each giant crossbow shelf. The blade of this crossbow is printed with dense magic runes, and a small gem base is installed on the body of the crossbow, on which this thin piece of magic spar is inlaid.

It is said that the price of such a magical giant crossbow in the market is almost equal to ten ordinary giant crossbows, and its power is also quite astonishing.

After all, it has a magical effect!

Seeing that the giant ghost pattern soldier ants had started to climb the city wall, Andrew glanced at Suldak again.

"Wait a minute, are the grappling hooks ready?" Suldak asked the squadron leader of the city defense army.

"Commander, everything is ready!" The city defense squadron leader replied immediately.

"Send the order, eleven bed crossbows equipped with magic giant crossbow bolts aimed at giant soldier ants." Suldak ordered, "Recover these magic giant crossbow bolts as much as possible."

"Yes, Commander." The captain of the city defense squadron said, and then ran quickly on the city wall, ordering those bed crossbows who were facing each other to modify them into magic giant crossbows one by one.

Eleven giant ghost pattern soldier ants were at the forefront of the ant colony, and had already climbed to the middle of the city wall.

The group of ghost-pattern soldier ants beside them couldn't help but want to kill. They wanted to overtake the slow-moving giant ghost-pattern soldier ants, but they didn't dare.

A wave of arrows rained down from the top of the city, and almost half of the arrows were blocked by the giant ghost-striped soldier ants in front. Even so, there were still many ghost-striped worker ants falling down the city wall.

The ghost pattern worker ants behind quickly filled the gap, until someone shouted from the top of the wall: "The bed crossbow is ready..."

35 bed crossbows were pushed out at the same time.

Giant crossbow arrows protruded from the wall, and the sharp tip of the arrow reflected cold light in the sun, aiming at the ant colony on the city wall...

Chapter 768 The Battle of the City Wall

Seemingly sensing the dangerous aura on the top of the city, the giant ghost-patterned soldiers suddenly stopped in their tracks. They raised their heads almost at the same time, and demonstrated their sharp giant pincers towards the top of the city, hissing like metal friction from their mouths. Voice.

Almost at the same time, the ghost-patterned soldier ants crowded around the giant ghost-patterned soldier ants, who were almost stacked on top of each other, rushed towards the city like a wild horse running wild.

They crawled very fast, and they climbed over the middle of the city wall in a blink of an eye.

The exterior wall of the north city wall is designed very uniquely. The designer set the front of the city wall with a gentle slope with an inclination angle of 50 degrees. The top of the north city wall is nearly eight meters wide, but the thickness of the bottom of the city wall is six to seven times that of the top. , the length of the city gate hole below is almost more than 300 meters, which is also the main reason why a huge fire wall five meters wide and [-] meters long was burned under the city wall, and the city head was not completely reduced to a barbecue grill.

This kind of city wall is completely piled up with huge stone bases, which looks more like a solid big dam.

Although the angle of the bed crossbow's pitch frame cannot support the vertical angle of the bed crossbow, during the war, the city guards naturally wanted to use the big killer of the city head to the extreme in order to be able to resist the beast tide.

So the Dark City Defense Army made a request, and the craftsmen used their brains. They fixed the bed crossbow on the huge door panel, installed a huge door shaft on the side near the wall, and installed a gantry structure at the end of the bed crossbow. The rope can directly lift the tail of the bed crossbow, so that the pitch angle of the bed crossbow fixed on the giant door panel is directly increased by 45 degrees.

In addition, the bed crossbow itself also has a pitch frame that can be adjusted by 45 degrees, so although it still cannot shoot vertically, there is no problem in adjusting the angle of view of [-] degrees.

The giant ghost-striped soldier ants also sensed the danger, so they let the ghost-striped worker ants rush to the front as cannon fodder. Their bodies were a little clumsy. When their huge bodies climbed the city wall, every step they took with their six legs was deep. Wedged deep into the crevices of the rock, so as to stabilize the bulky body.

Luckily, the base of this north city wall is very strong, otherwise, a deep furrow would be plowed out by the abdomen of the giant ghost pattern soldier ant with sharp bony spurs.

Andrew raised the butcher's tomahawk in his hand and shouted: "All Rolling Stones are ready..."

The guards standing next to the huge stone ball immediately put down the crossbows in their hands, and seven or eight people gathered behind the rolling stone, chanting and pushing the one-person-high rolling stone along the guide groove to the edge of the city wall.

These rolling stones are almost seven feet in diameter, and there are coconut-sized iron rings inlaid in the side depressions, and there are two sides. The iron rings are as thick as a thumb, as if they grew out of the rolling stones, and they are very strong. .

When the guards pushed the rolling stones to the edge of the city wall, other guards actually carried bundles of hemp ropes as thick as arms from behind the city wall. The length of each hemp rope was almost fixed, and there were hooks at both ends. The two rolling stones connected on the city wall can be connected together. In order to prevent the rope from hanging on the wall, after the connection is completed, the guards will throw the part of the rope outside the city wall.

In this way, on the 350-meter north city wall, there was an extra pearl necklace that could only be used by a titan.

"Five, four, three, two, one... Let it go!"

Seeing that the ghost pattern soldier ants were about to charge up, Andrew quickly issued an order.

The city defense guards moved the gear, and the bayonet at the end of the guide slot sank at the same time. With the help of the city defense guards behind, more than fifty rolling stones rolled down the city wall.

Since the arm-thick hemp ropes are connected to each other, the falling trajectory is very limited, almost showing a linear crushing trend.

A huge roar came from above the heads of the ghost pattern worker ants.

Some of the boulders went off track but were forcibly corrected by the hemp rope, so they made a crunching and cracking sound.

They raised the giant tongs on their heads, but they didn't see what was going on, they just saw dozens of rolling stones falling, and the ghost pattern worker ants on the front of the rolling stones were directly crushed into meatloaf by the rolling stones, and the rest of the ghost pattern worker ants were He was about to rush up along the gap between the rolling stones, but was pushed by a huge thrust and instantly fell off the city wall.

A large number of ghost-striped worker ants were entangled and tumbled down to the bottom of the city wall. The rope between them stirred a large number of worker ants together, and some ghost-striped worker ants also became fragmented during the tumbling.

The eleven giant ghost pattern soldier ants in the middle of the city wall wedged their six outriggers deeply into the city wall almost at the same time, and kept their bodies just attached to the city wall. They even leaned against the city wall with their huge tentacles. .

Some rolling stones roared past the giant ghost-striped soldier ants, and those ghost-striped worker ants that were entangled by the hemp rope slammed into the giant soldier ant, and instantly became fragmented. The sharp spikes on the giant soldier ant's back Cutting off the thick hemp rope directly on the arm, losing the restraint of the rope, the rolling stone immediately rolled down in twos and threes, and its power suddenly became much weaker.

Some rolling stones rolled over the ghost pattern soldier ants, but were resisted by the strong armor of the giant soldier ants. After hitting the giant soldier ants, the rolling stones bounced instantly.

The hard carapace of the giant soldier ant's body also cracked and cracked at the same time, but it didn't knock the giant soldier ant off the city wall, it just suffered some damage from the crushing.

A round of rolling stones rushed down, and half of the city wall was as clean as it had been washed.

The ghost-patterned soldier ants that got into a mess were entangled with the ropes, and the soldier ants with broken legs began to struggle in vain.

And those giant soldier ants have already pulled out the outriggers inserted into the cracks in the stone, and climbed up towards the top of the city wall again, and the ghost-pattern worker ants behind them surged up again.

Andrew on the top of the wall shouted again: "The bed crossbow is ready..."

This time there was the sound of the bow string being tensed, and the last sound of the winch stopped abruptly, and all the bed crossbows were ready.

Andrew stood on the wall, looked at the ants colony that continued to press up, and shouted: "Three, two, one... Let it go!"

Eleven bed crossbows with magical shimmer shot out with the sound of breaking wind.

When the danger was approaching, the giant soldier ants raised their tentacles more than half a meter long at the same time. Before they could make a hissing sound, they saw eleven ants emitting a string of magical lights from their tails. The giant crossbow bolt penetrated the body of the giant soldier ant.

When the blade of the crossbow arrow cut through the hard exoskeleton of the giant soldier ant, it penetrated almost without hindrance.

After these giant soldier ants fell on the city wall, their bodies became stiff, and juice gushed out of their bodies non-stop. When they fell below the city wall, there was a burst of thunderous cheers from the top of the city wall.

Only two giant soldier ants were lucky. A giant crossbow bolt cut off one of its tentacles and flew out close to its head, leaving only a long wound on its head. The other bed crossbow simply missed, and the giant crossbow flew past the body of the giant soldier ant...

These two giant soldier ants led a group of ghost pattern red ants, and continued to climb up towards the top of the city.

The city guards standing on the city wall quickly withdrew their crossbows and threw hooks down the city. Just before the corpses of the giant soldier ants were submerged by the ants, they hooked their bodies and hung the ropes on the gantry. On the pulley, everyone worked together to forcibly pull up these giant soldier ants that were almost submerged in the ant colony.

Some nimble ghost pattern worker ants wanted to continue to climb up with the rope, but they were shot down by the arrows shot from the top of the city.

As the archers brigade fired a large number of arrows, the charge of the ghost pattern worker ants under the city was suppressed again.

Looking at the giant soldier ants falling up with the hook, Andrew sighed on the city wall: "These magic crossbow bolts are really useful!"

Suldak saw that the hook was stuck on the top of the city, and several city guards pulled the giant soldier ants in from outside the city with long hooks, and then he said with admiration: "Such a giant crossbow bolt needs 45 silver coins. If you can kill a giant soldier ant every time you shoot it, it’s still worth it. If you can take it back, it’s even more cost-effective.”

Andrew also grinned and said, "Two crossbow bolts are worth one gold coin, which is really expensive."

Another round of arrows rained from the top of the city.

Two giant soldier ants finally climbed up to the top of the city under the rain of arrows. As soon as the heads of the giant soldier ants were exposed from the city wall, they spewed a large amount of acid into the city wall.

A group of heavy armored infantry hurriedly retreated to both sides of the city wall holding their shields. Half of the giant soldier ant's body popped out. Desperately grabbed his shoulders and pulled him back.

The ferocious sharp teeth cut against his helmet, and the pincers cut a hole in his slightly bulging shoulder pads.

Seeing several corpses of the same kind lying flat on the top of the wall, the giant soldier ants tried their best to climb over the wall. The bed crossbow on the top of the wall had to resist the ants colony below the wall, so they couldn't immediately turn around to deal with this big guy, but they hadn't waited. It launched a second round of attacks, a huge ax wrapped in flames, just soaring down into the sky, the ax smashed into the most fragile gap between its skull and breastbone.

The bones here are the most fragile, and the blade of the ax is extremely sharp, a hole was split in an instant, and a large amount of light brown blood spewed out from the neck of the giant soldier ant's back.

It didn't even see a figure, it felt a person stepping on its back, it wanted to overturn that person to the ground, but it was not ready yet, it felt that it could not control its body, it saw that the whole world was constantly Spinning, and even next to it, a huge blood-spitting body slowly fell down.
