Lord of Hyranza

The businessman narrowed his eyes and said sincerely to Selena: "Ms. Selena, we are willing to trade with you for brand new arrows. In order to show the sincerity of our firm, we can give you a very low price." , as you know, we don't just want to do this business, we also want to..."

"Magic spar, all I can get out is some magic spar." Selena interrupted him, and said with a firm expression: "You should probably know that there are so many magic beasts hunted here, and there is no shortage of magic crystals." I would rather suffer a bit. One magic spar can be exchanged for 2000 stainless steel arrows. If it is a complete arrow, it can be exchanged for 3500. One magic spar can buy almost [-] arrows in Wilkes City. arrow."

After speaking, Selena lifted her long skirt and was about to walk down the steps.

"...No magic spar, we want to trade hard armor." The old businessman stopped Selina and said hastily.

Selena took the bundle of arrows, tore off the oil paper on the surface, and with a faint smile on her face, she asked the old businessman, "What are you trading with me for?"

Selena's tone was a bit aggressive: "It's just these arrows? Do you need me to calculate the market price of this kind of hard armor? How many pieces of hard armor do you think can be exchanged for the arrows of this carriage? Even if you buy ten Chariot Arrow, how much hard armor can I exchange for it?"

After finishing speaking, she walked down a section of steps, approached the old businessman, and continued to say to him:

"At the beginning when our commander approached you, we talked about the trade of these hard armors, but you have never given a clear statement, saying that the thing is very cheap, and almost no one wants it in the market, but now... we have it in our hands. There is also a backlog of magic crystals, and there is no shortage of gold coins, I will say the same thing, what are you going to trade with us?"

The old businessman was so questioned that he had nothing to say, and subconsciously took half a step back.

Selena stuffed the bundle of arrows into the hands of the old businessman, took another step closer, and continued: "Of course, if you have materials such as magic pattern construction or magic crossbow bolts in your hands, it is not impossible to talk about them. "

"..."

The old businessman was a little dumbfounded by what Selena said.

Of course, he couldn't get the magic pattern structure. Even the magic giant crossbow bolts are actually very difficult for ordinary merchants to get.

Selena didn't say anything more, and took the opportunity to leave the bakery.

Those merchants did not catch up again.

Seeing Selena raising her neck proudly like a white swan and leaving, the old businessman stood still and sighed.

The other merchants stayed silent all the time, and after Selina left, everyone said in one go: "It doesn't matter, even if the hard armor leather is not sold at the military camp, we still can't buy it now." Hard armor!"

The young businessman said: "Actually, these mercenaries in the town hunted and killed more than 100 ghost pattern soldier ants in just one day..."

The other merchants echoed, "That's...that's it!"

The young businessman continued proudly: "As long as we don't compete maliciously and don't drive up the purchase price of hard armor leather, we can still make money. Why do we have to buy those hard armor leather in the military camp..."

Chapter 773

One of the things that stunned the merchants of Duodan Town was that the town had been quiet for less than a day. Because of the comeback of ghost-striped red ants, all the mercenary groups had to withdraw to the town.

The hard carapace trade of the ghost soldier ants was once again interrupted, and this time the size of the ant colony was larger than before.

The news from the city wall said that there were four queen ants in the ant colony this time. They should have the same status, but they all have their own male ant guards, and they formed four camps in the canyon. Huddled together in a mess.

On the contrary, the soldier ants and worker ants were extremely excited. They seemed to have found the guidance of the light again. The place where the ant swarm army stopped for the first time was just outside the range of the bed crossbow.

Perhaps it was because the queen ants joined forces to control the ant colony and were able to transmit instructions to each ant tribe, so they stood so neatly on the battlefield in the canyon.

The front worker ants and soldier ants are crowded together, almost forming a straight dividing line.

At the same time, more soldier ants appeared in the ant colony, and the ratio of soldier ants to worker ants was almost 1:20 at first.

Until the appearance of giant soldier ants, there were not as many worker ants as before, but it was almost 1:10.

But now the number of worker ants in the ant colony is further reduced, and at the same time, the number of advanced ants has increased significantly. The ratio of soldier ants to worker ants is almost 1:5. In the densely packed ant colony, you can always see ghost patterns that are almost twice the size soldier ants.

In addition, ghost pattern male ants also appeared in the rear of the battlefield, one by one like giant siege beasts.

Although the ant colony gathered under the city wall this time did not have such a bloody scene, and there were no monsters in the valley to slaughter them, the sense of oppression it brought was much stronger than the first time.

The city guards standing on the top of the city had pushed the rolling stones tied with hemp ropes to the front of the guide groove this time, and half of all the rolling stones were exposed outside the city wall.

The bed crossbows also showed sharp giant crossbow arrows from the wall stacks, and those polished giant crossbow arrows reflected a cold blue light in the sun.

Adams was also very speechless. It was hard for him to take a rotation to guard the city wall during the day. After just one easy day, he ushered in the army of ants again. At first glance, he felt a little dizzy, and the entire canyon was a sea of ​​red.

The army of ants crushed the territory, and the iron fence of the north city gate fell down again.

The siege was about to start, and the four ant queens were more cautious this time, hiding in the center of the guard group behind the ant colony, far away from the north city wall.

Gallatin stood beside Adams. His face was pale, but he was in good spirits. His injuries hadn't fully healed, but it didn't affect his participation in the battle.

I heard from Adams that Commander Suldak is going to update the merit exchange list.

Gallatin was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. As the captain of the heavy armored infantry brigade, as long as Gallatin participated in the battle, he would gain nearly [-] points of basic merit every day. You can get a little bit, if you kill a ghost pattern red ant, you will gain more...

Now he is going to pile up merits in exchange for a magic pattern.

Of course, there is a small promise from Adams. He has no pursuit of merit at the moment, so he promised his friend Gallatin that the merits he has obtained can be temporarily lent to Gallatin. Anything is fine.

According to the market price, [-] points of merit will be repaid with one gold coin.

For this team of Gallatin, he never thought of it anyway, so he got up from the sickbed in the dormitory like a chicken blood, and joined the battle of defending the city.

"Come here quickly, come here a little bit, I really don't understand why they are still hesitating... My God, when did these ants actually have a brain..." Gallatin stood at the top of the wall with an exaggerated expression.

"It's the queen ants. These new ant queens have completely controlled these ant tribes. It can also be said that these ant tribes are already the subjects of these four ant queens. Their kingdom has been established, and it is still an alliance kingdom. These worker ants No brains, but the queen ant behind them has at least rudimentary intelligence."

Adams glanced outside the city, and urged the soldiers on the city wall to pile up bundles of arrows on the top of the city.

He felt that the toughest battle was about to be faced.

Barrels of kerosene have been piled up on the wooden shelf behind the oil tank. It seems that as long as enough ant corpses are accumulated in this siege, the fire wall will be re-ignited.

Gallatin, leaning against the wall, with his shield and sword still leaning against the wall, said to his friend:

"Adams, you said this siege... Will Suldak still use those precious magic scrolls?"

Adams said affirmatively, "It will definitely, since it has been taken out, it will definitely be used!"

"I said... Commander Suldak is really generous this time!" Gallatin sighed: "Adams, how much does a magic scroll like this cost in the magic market in Bena City?"

Adams thought about it seriously, and then said: "If it is really a magic scroll made by the third-order magic 'Hell Flame', throwing out one scroll is at least one magic spar. Ten fire magic scrolls form a group. , Throwing out two groups at once is really a big deal."

Gallatin once again looked at the ant colony outside the city, and then whispered: "Ten catapults are now equivalent to ten one-turn magicians guarding the city wall, tsk tsk... no wonder you can get Miss Hathaway's Favor."

Adams glared at Gallatin and warned in a low voice, "Be careful what you say!"

As low-level officers of the Luther Legion, they could not talk about members of the Luther family anyway. This was an extremely serious offense.

Gallatin touched his mouth, and found that the stubble on his chin was already very sticky. He took out a sharp dagger, scratched it casually twice, and said, "Do you think he might be in charge of Luther in the future?" Legion?"

Adams said bluntly: "It should be about the same."

The two waited until the sun set. Andrew and Samira led the team to the top of the city to take turns. The ghost-striped red ants outside the city did not move.

This time, Samira still has the God's blessing of "insight" on her body. The sky darkened, but she was not disturbed by the light. When she looked into the distance, she could see the four ant queens moving forward cautiously. moving.

The army of red ants under the city wall gradually crossed the range of the bed crossbow, and then entered the range of the archers.

Without hesitation, Samira stood on the archery tower in the center of the north city wall and ordered all the archers to shoot arrows...

This kind of arrow is only equipped by longbowmen. It belongs to shooting arrows towards the sky with all their strength. After the steel arrow flies to the commanding height in a parabolic shape, it is pulled down by gravity. The higher the throw, the greater the power when it falls.

Two hundred archers shot arrows at the same time, and the arrows drew graceful arcs in the evening sky, and then smashed into the ant colony like falling meteors.

This kind of ordinary arrows can't cause much damage to the ghost-striped soldier ants, but it has a fatal killing effect on the ghost-striped worker ants.

A rain of arrows fell, and almost all those who fell on the battlefield were ghost pattern worker ants.

Hundreds of ghost-pattern soldier ants with steel arrows stuck in their bodies stepped over the oil tank and began to climb the city wall...

Chapter 774 Night Battle

The wind in the canyon seemed to blow out the torches on the city wall. The flames on the grease-soaked twine were very tenacious, and the flames made loud noises in the wind.

A sour smell emanated from the ghost-striped red ants, which became clearer and clearer as the ants approached the city wall.

They are constantly opening and closing the giant tongs on their heads, and the hard bone armor is constantly rubbing against each other, making a crisp sound of 'click'. When this sound is connected together, it makes people feel a kind of trembling from the joints. .

The sense of oppression brought by those huge ghost-striped soldier ants is far more terrifying than that of the grassland lions and jungle tigers.

They are numerous, ubiquitous, and can overcome almost all obstacles.

To them, the northern city wall is just a slightly steep hillside.

More and more soldier ants rushed to the north wall, and Suldak felt that the ground seemed to be shaking.

There are only stars in the night sky.

Samira has already quickly jumped onto a bed crossbow, aiming at the ghost pattern soldier ants climbing up along the city wall directly below, and shooting out the giant crossbow bolt.

The tactility of the arm is very good, and Samira can't control the wind element in his body for a while.

'Om'

The crossbow strings trembled, and the sound was a bit dull.

The giant crossbow bolts completely merged into the dark night, bringing up an afterimage and a wind element wrapped around the shaft of the arrow.

The crossbow arrow penetrated the body of the ghost-striped soldier ant in an instant, not only piercing the ordinary ghost-striped soldier ant with a body length of nearly three meters, but the tip of the arrow protruded from the tail of the ghost-striped soldier ant, and penetrated the rear one again. In the head of the ghost pattern soldier ant.

A crossbow arrow shot through two ghost-patterned soldier ants, and cheers erupted on the city wall again.

The ghost-pattern soldier ants who had just climbed up the city wall immediately stepped up and climbed up, and the 35 bed crossbows on the city wall almost simultaneously shot a row of giant crossbow bolts.

Humming together...

This kind of giant crossbow bolt, which is slightly longer than ordinary spears, immediately fell under the city wall with ghost-patterned soldiers and ants.

However, reinstalling a new giant crossbow on this kind of bed crossbow is also quite laborious. At least two soldiers need to be busy for a while. One soldier needs to take out a giant crossbow from the wooden frame and put it into the arrow slot. A warrior is responsible for pulling the crossbow strings away with a winch.

It takes at least 2 minutes to load a giant crossbow bolt, so these bed crossbows alone cannot suppress the ghost-striped red ants rushing up like a tide.

The ghost-patterned soldiers who rushed to the front quickly climbed up to the top of the city, and the heavy armored infantry and knights in full armor held long-handled weapons in their hands, and the ghost-patterned soldiers emerged from the cracks between the walls of the city. The moment he turned his head, a group of tactics and mercenaries with one-turn strength stabbed out with their spears, and the sharp spears precisely pierced into the skull along the jaw.

Immediately, these ghost pattern soldier ants twitched a few times and kicked their legs directly, and some sour liquid kept gushing out of their mouths.

The soldiers would never let these ghost pattern soldier ants fall into the city, they held iron hooks in their hands and dragged these ghost pattern soldier ants to the top of the city.

A large number of ghost pattern soldier ants followed behind. After rushing to the top of the city, they began to spit a large amount of acid towards the soldiers on the city wall.

The guards of the city waiting on the archery tower hold a continuous crossbow, aim at the mouth of the ghost-pattern soldier ant and shoot a series of crossbow arrows by the light of the fire. As long as they hit the ghost-pattern soldier ant's mouthparts, the spit of acid will stop abruptly.

At this time, some experienced first-rank fighters rushed up along the trajectory of the ghost-patterned soldier ants spewing acid, and pierced the spears in their hands into the soldier ants' jaws.

There were also some heavily armored warriors holding their shields, but they didn't completely avoid the rotten liquid. They were sprayed all over by the acid and screamed 'ooooooo' on the top of the wall.

I saw at least fifty ghost pattern soldier ants crawling up the city wall and fighting with the guards on the city wall.

Andrew quickly ordered: "Put down the rolling stone..."

The guards waiting beside the rolling stone heard Andrew's order, and they couldn't wait to push down the rolling stone. Some ghost pattern soldier ants even climbed on the rolling stone, and at this moment, they fell down the city wall together with the rolling stone.

These rolling stones are covered with a layer of flax soaked in grease, so that the fire will not be easily extinguished when it is ignited.

The rolling stones formed a chain, almost sweeping away all the ghost-striped red ants that were climbing the city wall.

The ghost-striped red ants on the falling path were almost instantly crushed into a pulp by the rolling stone.

The pressure on the city wall suddenly decreased a lot. Suldak, Andrew, more than 200 first-rank veterans in the cavalry battalion, and a group of elite soldiers selected from the mercenary regiment blocked the ghost pattern soldiers from the front. More than [-] heavy armored infantry and The cavalry in full armor swarmed up, and everyone hurriedly killed the ghost pattern soldiers.

As long as it is fighting, it is difficult to avoid injuries.

However, Suldak has the holy light technique, which makes the soldiers have a lot less worries when fighting.

As the rolling stone rolled to the bottom of the city wall, countless ghost-striped red ants were mixed together, causing casualties.

Some ghost-striped soldier ants wanted to crawl out of the pile of corpses, and the ghost-striped red ants that came up from behind stepped on their bodies and continued to climb towards the city wall.

Another rain of arrows covered it, and the number of ghost-striped worker ants in the ant colony decreased sharply.

The bed crossbow at the head of the city has completed the second installation of crossbow arrows.

This group of ghost-patterned soldier ants rushed up, and another row of giant crossbow arrows swept out, immediately laying down dozens of ghost-patterned soldier ants.

The ghost-patterned soldier ants behind continued to climb up...

These burning rolling stones blocked their way forward, and they could only pass through the gaps where there was no fire, which immediately slowed down the ant colony's impact on the city wall.

This time, the wall of fire was not lit under the city wall, but the rolling stones that ignited were used to block it a little.

Perhaps because of the sound of battle on the city wall, the ogre appeared on the city wall after a short while, holding a bone-crushing club in his hand, and stepped on the head of the ghost pattern soldier ant. From a distance, he felt like Tilting his head all the time, he smashed down the big bone-crushing stick in his hand, and the ghost-pattern soldier ant let out a hissing sound, almost raised his head with all his strength, and pinched a pair of pliers towards the ogre's thigh.

The bone-crushing stick in the ogre's hand was smashed down again, and the giant pincers on its head were smashed apart...

Almost at the same moment, the catapult inside the city wall threw a black iron ball out of the city again.

These black iron balls exploded in the canyon, and dazzling fireworks burst out in the dark night, landing at a place less than [-] people outside the northern city wall.

A round of explosions resounded through the canyon.
