I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

In the outermost layer, the swarm of insects that were tortured by the sun slowly squirmed and flew towards the higher sky.

The surface of those bugs has been burned with flames, and they are gradually peeling off, falling with the wind like debris from fireworks.

But behind those bugs, the same kind that has not yet been exposed to the sun, are facing the scattered ashes and soaring upwards.

Even when the ashes dissipated, the sun was still fierce and burned the latecomers, but these bugs flew towards the sun like moths to the flame.

"This is"

Stone looked out, seeing this scene, feeling a little unbelievable.

"They're trying to block out the sun."

Shia quickly noticed the movements of the swarm.

In her time, because of the existence of the spirit torch, [Thousand Legs] was no longer a threat to the demon tide, but now, its numerical advantage has become the biggest weapon that can restrain the sun.

The swarms of insects kept surging and spread towards the sky amidst the raging fire, unexpectedly forming a barrier in a short period of time, blocking the sunlight.

Clouds gradually spread towards the fortress, accompanied by blazing flames.

Even Shia had to admit that the spirit of sacrifice of these bug swarms was worthy of recognition.

If it was a monster like winter wolf, or a wave of disease-like monsters like plague, it would probably be difficult to resist the fierce sunlight, so they could only take a detour.

But the number of insect swarms is the largest, even if they sacrifice millions of their kind, they still move forward.

In fact, these bugs don't have any fearless spirit to go forward and succeed. They are just victims and poor worms under the will of the lord.

In order to defeat these swarms, their lord must retreat, or the lord must be killed directly.

But Shia is also very clear that [Thousand Legs] still exists even in her era, which shows that they must not be able to solve the root of the problem in this era.

"The lord of [Thousand-legged] is not the only one. During the long breeding period, they will give birth to a queen, and new swarms will continue to hatch. That is the lord of [Thousand-legged] demon tide. Queens will also age and die, and when the lord dies, the swarm will give birth to new queens, endlessly, this is the reason why the number of [thousand-legged] is huge and inexhaustible."

Shia whispered.

Even if they can accurately find the lord of the swarm this time, and use beheading tactics to solve it, it will only relieve them for a moment. Soon, new lords will be born among the swarms and continue to attack.

It is also a form of despair.

Lu Jian frowned as he looked at the swarm of insects that gradually blocked the sun.

When the shadows returned to the ground again, the swarms began to attack the fortress again, and the artillery fire quickly lost its effect. In the face of absolute numbers, the suppression of firepower also had no effect.

The insect swarm had already flooded the front few sentry towers.

Those sentry towers that were still lit with torches were instantly surrounded by black swarms of insects.

At this time, the live broadcast cut to the perspective of the player stationed at the sentry tower.

Before the player had time to leave the muzzle, he saw the bug hit the wall with a thud, the chitin shell was cracked by the high-speed impact, and the muddy slurry splashed and fell on the player's face, slightly covering the camera.

He immediately wiped his face, making the perspective a little clearer.

More bugs poured in through the muzzle, they struggled, twisting their bodies, and got into the sentry tower.

With a sword, the player next to him raised his knife and chopped off the head of the frontmost bug. The terrifying creature twitched twice and fell to the ground without a sound.

But more bugs are still pouring in.

Even, the players heard a palpitating rustling sound, and the whole sentry tower began to tremble and shake slightly.

The swarms of bugs piled up on the sentry tower, and the weight exceeded the load limit of the sentry tower building, making the structure begin to become fragile.

At the same time, some bugs began to gnaw on the walls of the sentry tower. The concrete masonry was bitten bite by bite, and if the mouthparts of the bugs were worn out, they would be replaced. The sentry tower was completely destroyed.

This tense scene from the first perspective was watched by the audience.

Zheng Li didn't dare to show his atmosphere. The feeling of being on the scene made him seem to have come to the sentry tower, this desperate situation.

He saw the player in the main perspective constantly swinging his sword, trying to cut off the bugs pouring in, but there were too many bugs, and the desperate monster quickly occupied all corners of his field of vision.

A player fell down and was eaten by several bugs, and screamed in pain. Another player was thrown down by the bugs, and the sharp mouthparts were inserted directly from the eyes into the brain, sucking the white brain and bone marrow. .

The fight between man and monster is soul-stirring, and a single thought can mean the difference between life and death.

Zheng Li couldn't bear to stare at him. He knew very well that under such circumstances, these sentry towers in front were cannon fodder and would inevitably be sacrificed.

Without the torch, the endless monsters are enough to break the will.

boom -

Accompanied by a loud noise, the sentry tower finally collapsed, and the players in the main perspective were also overwhelmed by endless swarms of insects, and finally fell into darkness.

Near Sunset Town, in the transformed quagmire, the players who died just now were resurrected.

The feeling of being bitten by bugs is still spreading throughout his body. Although the pain has been reduced, this feeling is still unforgettable.

The ever-burning sea of ​​insects that blocked the sun had come to the front of the main fortress.

With the exhaustion of the last shell, human beings have only their own hands left to fight against these monsters.

But contrary to the situation, the players no longer feel desperate.

Because at this time, they only have the idea of ​​how to survive and how to defeat the enemy in their minds, and more, on a macro level, these players have no space to think about.

These are what Lu Jian and the others need to consider.

"According to this speed, this place will be turned into ruins in less than half a day."

Stone judged that this place has been built and transformed by the players, and has fortifications and development levels beyond the times. It cannot last until the end of the blood moon. Then, in other places in the Kingdom of the Night, those residents What kind of tragedy he would experience, Stone couldn't even imagine.

Shia remained silent. She knew that these were the sufferings that her foreign land would inevitably experience. This suffering would last for thousands of years and take countless lives.

What she does can't change the established destiny, and everything she does is in vain.

However, what she saw in front of her still touched her heart.

Even if fate cannot be changed

Shia muttered softly, she took a step forward, and came to the front of the watchtower, facing the vanguard of the insect swarm.

She raised her right hand.

===743. Banner===

Suddenly, a flash of light bloomed from Shia's fingertips.

The girl in heavy armor waved her right hand.

From left to right, a series of flashes burst out on the crest of the bug swarm, turning the world into black and white.

bang bang bang-

A huge explosion appeared between those bugs, and each explosion would completely empty out the bug swarm in an area, leaving only a huge hole waiting for other bugs to replenish.

Relying on Shia's strength alone, the unstoppable swarm's progress was stopped for a moment.

Without hesitation, Shia withdrew her raised right hand again.

There was another series of black and white flashes, as if the ground had been plowed once again, and the insect swarm was hit hard again.

And this time, together with the cannon fodder that blocked the sun, they were blown away by the blast air.

The sun briefly descended on the ground, causing the insects at the front to ignite a raging fire amidst their rustling movements, and fell down one after another.

It can be seen that the wrapped sentry tower is finally revealed, and the original solid structure has collapsed, leaving only ruins.

Although Shia's attack effectively prevented the attack of the frontal insect swarm, the advancement of those insect swarms in other places was not greatly affected. The swarms of insects gathered and gradually surrounded it.

At this point, just over an hour had passed.

Lu Yi took out his silver revolver and loaded it with the words of the great existence, and fired a few shots at the swarm.

The worms that were hit twisted immediately, and with the high-speed vibration of their wings, they spread the song from ancient times to others of the same kind. For a while, with those worms as the center, clumps of worms fell downward, in a frenzy exploded and lost his life.

But even so, for the large number of bugs, the impact is negligible.

Killing dozens of monsters with one slap is mowing grass, killing thousands of monsters with one slap, and others have more, that is torture.

The encirclement of the insect swarm gradually narrowed, and even the brilliance of the blood moon was about to be obscured.

At this moment, a flame burst out from the void, quickly igniting all the insects it touched, and those insects burned rapidly, withered, and turned into ashes.

Another bolt of lightning fell from the sky, piercing through the thick barrier of the insect swarm, causing some sunlight to seep in and shine on the watchtower at the top of the fort.

The ground also began to tremble, and those stones stood up as if they had their own will, forming giants one after another. Those bugs clung to the giants, but were quickly blown away and shattered.

"This is"

Drizzt, who was somewhat weak, looked at these attacks, and the attacks did not come from Shia, but from the rear of the fortress.

He saw that in the encirclement that was about to be closed, a group of people occupied the last gap.

The gap is very small, there is only one seam left, but this seam cannot be closed at all!

Lu Jian looked over.

[True Vision] allows him to accurately capture the people standing on the ground far away at this time.

Lu Juan didn't know those people. They were wearing red and black cloaks, and under the cloaks were heavy silver armors. These people's faces were almost hidden in the helmets. They were holding books, long swords, and a flag in their hands. Standing up from the crowd, the flag has thorns and long swords on it, which is the flag of the Kingdom of the Night's current kingdom.

"A court mage?"

Shia also noticed the change here, and she recognized this configuration at a glance.

"It is an elite force of court mages"

On the gray tower, Jost also recognized the origin of this team.

Among the court mages, there are some mages who specialize in combat. These mages are called pale knights. They have rich experience in fighting monsters. Those long swords and books are blessed with magic and have powerful combat capabilities. The armor is also solid magic armor. These mages are the embryonic form of the later gray tower mages, and they are also the earliest representatives. They walk the land of the kingdom of night and fight at the forefront of every wave of magic.

But why, they appear here.

Jost was confused.

A few more bursts of magic burst out, and that gap was forcibly torn open by this group of heavily armored mages.

In the howling cold wind, Jost heard the sound of magic blessing coming from the group of mages.

"Jost, the Sixth Pale Knights of the Kingdom, is ordered to come to support."

He heard his name, and felt that the voice was familiar, and then he heard the man say something.
