Lord of Hyranza

If it was any other monster, Chester Great Swordsman could kill it with this sword.

But the hard armor of this ghost-striped male ant is too thick, such a sword only cut a two-foot gap, the great swordsman Chester had no time to make up his sword, and jumped up quickly to avoid the attacks of other ghost-striped males To attack, a sword slashed at the ghost ant queen not far away.

A ghost-striped male ant stood in front of the queen, and the figure of the great swordsman Chester who rushed towards the ghost-striped queen faded until he disappeared.

The next moment, the Great Swordsman Chester held his sword high in both hands, and his body soared into the air.

Then it was like a falling meteor, hitting the body of the ghost pattern ant queen...

A moment later, the Great Swordsman Chester held the head of the ghost-striped ant queen and stood on the back of a ghost-striped male ant.

The battle situation of the ant colony also changed accordingly, and the cavalry and swordsmen gradually took the initiative.

Under the leadership of the great swordsman Chester, a group of ghost pattern male ants were gradually strangled by the swordsmen.

Just as the great swordsman Chester led his men to clean up the mess on the battlefield, three green magic flares flew out of the pass of Prantos Town not far away.

……

Surdak boarded the pass and found the blood-stained city wall. The city was in a mess, with broken armor and scattered weapons everywhere, and some wooden frames carrying rolling stones also collapsed.

Dense ghost-striped red ants slowly climbed up from the city wall. Andrew stood on the city wall, wielding the butcher's ax in his hand, and split the heads of some ghost-striped red ants that had just poked their heads out of the city wall. His There was already a thick layer of corpses of ghost-striped red ants piled up under their feet.

The veterans next to them also lined up, standing behind the wall, holding the knight's long spear, stabbing the ghost-striped red ants that climbed up to death.

The veterans cooperated with each other tacitly, and even if some ghost-patterned soldiers ants avoided being assassinated by the spear occasionally, they would be beheaded by the knight's long sword afterwards.

Dozens of bed crossbows on the top of the city were damaged to varying degrees, and Samira was leading a group of archers to rush to repair the bed crossbows on the top of the city.

Suldak walked near the oil tank on the city wall, and saw that all the oil barrels here were empty, and there were still thick burn marks under the city wall. It is estimated that all the kerosene here had been used up.

Fortunately, this time when Suldak came to Plantos Town this time, he packed a few barrels of kerosene on Lei Tingxi's body, and now he lifted it to the top of the city, and poured it in through the oil filling port on the top of the city without hesitation.

It's a pity that they only brought six barrels of kerosene. This amount of kerosene was far from covering the entire city wall, but only six bonfires were lit below the city.

As the fire broke out below the city, the ghost pattern red ants that were climbing the city wall were quickly forced back, and the defense pressure on the city wall was instantly relieved a lot.

The veterans kept throwing the corpses of the ghost-striped red ants on the fire pile. With the help of the raging flames, these ghost-striped red ants were covered with grease, and the fire became big.

Fortunately, the bed crossbow on the city wall was not too seriously damaged.

After dismantling and repairing, 36 bed crossbows barely recovered and [-] of them were recovered. The wooden frames storing the giant crossbow bolts on the city head were not damaged, and those giant crossbow bolts could still be used.

As the bed crossbows recovered one by one, the range of the bed crossbows covered the mountain walls on both sides, and the defense of the city head was basically stabilized.

The two commanders, Intas and Hampton, led their cavalry in the square below the pass, blocking the counterattack of the ghost-striped red ants in Prantos Town.

Seeing that the situation at the top of the city had basically stabilized, Suldak ordered Andrew and Samira to guard the city wall, and led Gallatin to the square below the pass. Resisting the attack of the ghost-striped red ants.

Obviously, the number of ghost-striped red ants in the town is obviously insufficient, and it can no longer form a scale in the square.

Suldak ordered all the cavalry to take turns to camp and rest in the square under the pass. The main reason was that after fighting for more than half a day, these horses were exhausted and needed water and food, and rested to recover their strength.

Almost all the cavalry were injured, and everyone urgently needed to wash off all the sour liquid that got on their bodies.

Beneath the walls of the pass, veterans of the cavalry battalion found locked warehouses.

The cavalry kicked open a locked warehouse door, and there were stacks of giant crossbow bolts, boxes of fine steel arrow clusters, rows of brand new alloy bows and continuous shooter crossbows, etc. inside.

Seeing that the place was fairly clean, Suerdak asked the veteran to put three camp beds in the warehouse, and hung a few horse lanterns in the warehouse, and the room was instantly brightened.

Afterwards, without Suldak's instructions, the veterans moved all the heads of ghost pattern soldier ants collected on the battlefield to the warehouse.

The cavalry of the other two cavalry battalions also imitated the practice of this group of veterans, and moved all the heads of these ghost-striped soldier ants and ghost-striped male ants.

"Okay, let's follow the old rules and treat the seriously wounded first. This time, the seriously wounded from the three cavalry battalions are lined up together..." Suldak's opponent ordered.

The three cavalry battalions had a total of [-] cavalrymen, and more than half of the cavalrymen were injured to varying degrees. Suldak wanted to rely on the 'Holy Light Art' for treatment, even if all the sacred aura in his body was consumed. Dry, it is definitely not enough.

So this time Suldak directly changed his strategy. All the wounded will receive the blessing of God from the "Divine Blessed Body". Light therapy and more.

This time, they attacked Prantos Town and harvested enough sacrifices.

You don't know how many fierce battles will be fought next, so you can't be stingy at this time.

The two commanders, Intas and Hampton, came out of the temporary treatment room and realized that the reason why the cavalry under Commander Suldak were so brave was because this cavalry battalion was not afraid of injury at all.

As long as the wounded remain alive on the battlefield... they will survive.

Chapter 806 The Ant Nest in the Temple

Before the wounded enter the treatment room, some preparations need to be done.

When these things are at the barracks in Dodan Town, Nika usually comes to help.

Now Suldak can only find two smarter ones among the veterans.

Even so, the entire front-end processing process is very rough.

As a result, the wounded who were sent to the treatment room basically peeled off the leather armor and the linen shirt inside with a knife, turning them into useless pieces of cloth to expose the bleeding wounds.

The outer skin of the wounds torn by the ghost-striped red ant's pincers was turned over, revealing the torn tendons and fascia inside.

Or simply the bloody bone stubble sticks out of the skin, making it very bloody.

In pursuit of efficiency, Suldak let the two wounded enter the temporary treatment room at the same time.

After Suldak offered a head sacrifice to the sacrificial altar, he could receive the blessing of the "Divine Blessed Body" twice, and if he had a broken bone, he would directly connect the broken bones, and then clamp and tie them with wooden boards. If the wound is too long, it must be sutured with cotton thread.

It was not until early morning that all the wounded soldiers had been dealt with.

……

The cavalrymen of the three cavalry battalions only took a short rest, and carried various supplies to the city wall at the pass, replacing the veterans who were still fighting above, and everyone had to take turns to rest.

The fighting in the square has largely subsided.

Occasionally, a few ghost-striped red ants will come out from among the houses, and the archers guarding the exit will deal with them immediately.

Some ghost-patterned soldiers escaped the arrows and rushed to the square before the cavalry came out to deal with them.

The two commanders, Intas and Hampton, never rested. After they finished handling the affairs in the cavalry battalion, they led a group of cavalrymen who only had time to catch their breath to go deep into the town of Plantos. After all, this border town is only It took less than three days to be captured by ghost-striped red ants. Although there were no survivors, not even corpses, on the city walls and streets of the pass, everyone believed that there might be some survivors who survived in this small town.

The two commanders, Intas and Hampton, cleared the streets of Prantos town one by one.

But the result was not satisfactory. These ghost-striped red ants are born to be good at digging holes. After searching and rescued many houses, they only found bloody basements. In addition to the blood stains on the walls and floors, even small animals such as cats, dogs and poultry No beast could be found.

Unexpectedly, in just two days, the ghost-striped red ants had already plundered all the edible things in the town.

After working for most of the night until dawn, most of the town had been cleared out by the cavalry, and even a single survivor was not found.

The ghost-striped red ants in the town were also driven to the southwest corner of the town by the cavalry.

But what everyone didn't expect was that even though these ghost-striped red ants were retreating steadily, they did not completely evacuate Plantos Town.

……

There are still a large number of red ants gathering on the northern pass mountain road.

In the case of a fire burning below the city, they did not give up their attacks on the entire town in turn.

After fighting fiercely for a day and a night, Andrew finally couldn't bear it any longer, so he set up a marching tent on the arrow tower at the top of the city. He didn't even take off the magic pattern structure on his body, and fell directly into the tent. big sleep.

Samira was sitting on the wall of the watchtower, she seemed to be in good spirits, and she didn't look like someone who hadn't closed her eyes all day and night.

After dawn, the number of ghost-striped red ants swarming up the mountain road on the north side of the pass decreased a lot.

Gallatin had spent the night resting in tents with a squadron of cavalry last night.

In the early morning, he got up early and led the team of cavalry to the wall of the pass to take over the defense here.

The veterans began to clean up the battlefield at the top of the city, and threw those useless ghost-striped red ants outside the city wall one by one, and filled them into the fire as fuel.

Occasionally, there would be a buzzing of bed crossbow strings on the top of the city. The crossbowmen didn't need to consider saving giant crossbow bolts for the town of Plantos, and frequently used these bed crossbows to shoot and kill ghost pattern soldiers ants crawling over the mountain wall.

Suldak was about to walk down the city wall when he saw the captain of the third squadron running up the steps, standing in front of him and reporting:

"Boss, Commander Intas and Commander Hampton, please spare some time to go there!"

"How is their search and rescue going?" Suldak only had time to pay attention to this matter at this time.

The third squadron leader sighed, and said dejectedly: "Everything is going well, but no survivors have been found. Those red ants almost dug out the basement of the entire town. No one can hide in the basement and survive..."

"So... they came to me at this time, did they find something?" Suldak walked down the city wall first.

A group of cavalry carrying huge crossbow bolts passed by them.

The leader of the third squadron came over and whispered to Suldak: "We found a temple in the town. A group of red ants guarded there. They fought all morning and failed to take it down. I heard that there are giant ghost-striped red ants hiding there." In the crypt..."

Suldak walked down the city wall, and the cavalry had already prepared their horses below.

"What's the news from Chester Great Swordsman?" Suldak mounted his horse and turned his head to ask.

"Legion leader wiped out an ant colony and an ant queen last night, and intercepted the other two ant colonies returning to the south of Prantos Town. These two ant colonies have retreated this morning. We have arrived at the southern suburb of Prantos Town." The third squadron leader rode on his horse and followed behind Suldak.

Walking through the dilapidated streets of Plantos Town, Suldak found that Plantos Town was larger than Dodan Town. In addition to the cross-shaped main street, there were several criss-cross lanes in the town. There are some shops, and there is a temple in the south of the town.

Suldak rode to the outside of the temple. The whole temple was surrounded by a group of cavalry, and there were sounds of fighting inside.

Dozens of corpses of ghost pattern soldier ants were scattered around the gate of the temple. Suldak rode in and the cavalry guarding both sides of the gate saluted Suldak one after another.

This temple is a bit dilapidated, the ground is covered with a thick layer of blood plasma, and even has a strong sour smell.

The courtyard was full of cavalry, and some wounded cavalry withdrew from it, and immediately there were cavalry waiting to fill up.

Passing through the vestibule of the church, the courtyard is full of corpses of ghost-striped red ants, and a group of cavalry are waiting in line to enter the temple. The battle is in the backyard of the temple.

Surdak walked all the way, and the cavalry saluted and moved out of the way.

There is a basement in the backyard of the temple, or it can also be used as a dungeon, but this temple has been abandoned for a long time, and the entire backyard is overgrown with weeds. A team of cavalry surrounds the entire backyard of the temple, and there are many red ghosts lying in the courtyard. Ant corpses filled the yard with a strong sour smell.

When Suldak walked in, he saw at the exit of the basement under the wall of the main building, a giant ghost pattern soldier ant stretched out half of its body, fighting with several cavalrymen.

Intas and Commander Hampton were standing at the door of the backyard, discussing in low voices.

"What happened here?" Suldak walked over and asked.

He knew that it was impossible for Intas to call him over from the pass wall just because of such a giant ghost pattern soldier ant.

"There are a lot of ghost-striped red ants coming out continuously, and we guess that this is where they store their food!" Intas turned and explained to Suldak, pointing to a corner of the backyard after speaking.

Surdak glanced casually, and saw the pile of mucus-stained and incompletely digested human bones...

"Just now we killed a very strange ghost-striped red ant, and these came out of its stomach." Hampton covered his mouth with one hand, his face a little ugly.

Several cavalrymen in front had stabbed the giant ghost-patterned soldier ant with cuts and bruises, but unfortunately it still refused to get out of the cave, and refused to retreat.

Until Suldak rushed up and chopped off its head with a sword, a group of cavalry dragged its body up from the hole, revealing a dark hole from under it...

Chapter 807 The Escaped Ant Queen

A cavalry captain in full armor with a tower shield carefully stepped one foot into the entrance of the cave full of sour smell. The black blood that was about to dry up was a little sticky, sticking to the bottom of his boots, and every step he took seemed a bit stagnant. .

Obviously, this expedition mission was not a good job, but since it was his turn, he had to go ahead bravely.

Suldak put his hand on the shoulder of the cavalry, and the cavalry captain turned to look at Suldak with a puzzled expression, and then at the battalion commander Intas.

"Let me do it..." Suldak didn't say much, and stepped forward directly, with a dwarven chain shield glowing with silver holy light on one arm, and a shimmering holy light in the other. The torch walked into the cave first.

The cavalry captain hurried to follow.

This burrow was supposed to be an underground storage room in the temple, and it is said that it was occasionally used to detain heretics. This kind of multi-functional storage room was built together with the temple, and it is usually not too small. .

It's just that the Statue of Liberty has abandoned this place, and even the priests and priests in the temple have left cleanly. The temple in the town has been abandoned, and the weeds in the backyard are almost knee-high.

The commanders of the two cavalry battalions saw that Suldak took the lead, so they quickly cheered up and led the elite cavalry to follow.

The two of them led a group of cavalry to search for survivors in the town, but they found nothing all night.

Chasing the ghost-striped red ants that kept retreating, they killed all the way to the temple at the southernmost tip of the town, only to find that the basement was full of ghost-striped red ants, some of which looked like a wormhole, and many ghosts Striped soldier ants huddled in the cave and fought to the death.

The cavalry blocked the entrance of the cave, and the ghost-striped red ants in the cave could only come out one by one, and then the cavalry cleaned them up one after another.

Walking down the passage full of sour liquid for six or seven meters, the road ahead became much smoother, filled with an unpleasant smell, almost suffocating.

The light in the cave was a bit dark, and Suldak walked in the front holding the holy light torch. Although he was not wearing the magic pattern structure at the moment, he was wearing a thick full-coverage armor on the outside of the salamander leather armor. If it weren't for his face, his appearance after putting on the helmet and mask was not much different from other cavalrymen in the cavalry battalion.

Suddenly there was a thin and rustling sound from both sides, and two ghost-pattern soldier ants poked their heads out from the black holes on both sides of the cave. After finding Suldak, they immediately turned their heads flexibly, and opened their teeth and claws towards Surdak. Duck jumped up.

The space in the corridor in the cave was so big, Suldak couldn't dodge, so he quickly raised his shield to parry.

A pair of dark red contact pincers slammed into the dwarf chain shield fiercely. As a power-type second-level monster, the ghost-striped soldier ant itself is infinitely powerful. Although Suldak immediately put on a defensive posture, he was still caught This blow caused two steps back, and a layer of holy silver light appeared on the shield. The ghost pattern soldier ant seemed to have been scalded, and the sharp claws retracted, leaving only the light on Suldak's shield. Two shallow dents.

Another ghost-striped soldier ant jumped up from the other side of Suldak, and the cavalry behind him, holding a tower shield, hurriedly made up for it, holding the shield and bumping into the ghost-striped soldier ant.
