Lord of Hyranza

That body is very much like his own, it really wants to lower its head to confirm, but it can only let itself spin and roll...

Andrew jumped off the body of the giant soldier ant, and used an ax to chop off the huge outriggers that Suldak needed.

At the same time, Suldak also personally beheaded the giant soldier ant with its pincers broken.

In the city, a large number of worker ants were shot and killed by the arrow rain at all times.

More worker ants pounced on the city wall, and ordinary ghost pattern soldier ants rushed up one after another, and soon the archers on the top of the city tended to be unable to suppress the ant colony.

Without the protection of the firewall, the heavy armored infantry hoped that the archers would put in more ghost pattern soldiers, so that they could make more achievements on the battlefield.

The archers are still willing to help with such a request, but unfortunately everyone actually underestimated the fighting power of the ghost pattern soldier ants, so that the number of soldier ants rushing to the top of the city this time exceeded the soldiers' capacity.

In addition to the archers and giant crossbow shooters guarding the arrow tower and the city wall at the head of the city, they still used row shooting to suppress the red ants below the city wall.

Soon, the city fell into a melee.

Although the scene was a bit chaotic, both Suldak and Andrew were on the city wall, and almost all the veterans in the cavalry battalion who had reached the first turn were with Andrew. , immediately relied on the bed crossbow, and began to clean up these ordinary ghost pattern soldier ants.

The city wall was already covered with acid and rot, and from time to time, a veteran would jump out with an ice rhinoceros horn knife in his hand, and several cavalrymen followed him to fight the ghost-striped red ants.

In the cavalry battalion, this kind of improvised combat team is very common, and it is also handy to deal with ghost pattern soldiers.

These ghost-patterned soldiers are indeed extremely powerful, but because of their huge bodies, their movements are also very clumsy.

As long as there are two cavalrymen to attract the attention of the ghost-striped soldier ants, the others will take the opportunity to restrain the ghost-striped soldier ants, and the veteran who has been promoted to the first rank will hold a single-edged axe and jump directly on its back to kill the ghost-striped soldier ants. The ant's head was chopped off.

It's just that there are too many ghost-pattern soldiers released this time, and the entire city wall is almost caught in a melee. Although the mercenaries who signed the temporary assistance agreement are all fighters with a rank of one or more, they can only stay at the top of the city at this moment. Their defenses can't be killed at all.

Andrew ran left and right on the city wall to fight the fire.

Even if there was such a crisis on the city wall, Suldak still didn't send out reinforcements from the barracks.

The archers and crossbowmen on the top of the city were almost all struggling to suppress the ghost-striped worker ants climbing up from the bottom of the city. The 35 bed crossbows did not turn the dial, and they were fighting hard for the heavy armored infantry, cavalry and soldiers on the top of the city. The mercenaries relieved the pressure, and they were still constantly looking for the ghost pattern soldier ants hidden in the ant colony, preventing them from having a chance to climb to the top of the city.

Following Andrew's order, the city guards once again pushed the prepared rolling stones along the guide groove from the back of the city wall to the front, preparing to connect them with tough and thick hemp ropes, and plow through the ant colony that was climbing up the city wall in one fell swoop.

A halo of power shone under Suldak's feet, holding a blood-red crescent and a dwarven chain shield.

Every time he swung the blood-red crescent, the power of holy light on his chest would light up along a certain pattern, and this power would instantly inject into the blood-red crescent, and the sharp edge of the blood-red crescent touched the ghost. For the soldier ant, it is like a red-hot iron bar touching a candle, and its hard carapace completely melts away in an instant.

The power of the holy light itself is very restrained by the ghost-striped red ants, plus Suldak's new interpretation of the "Knight's Holy Seal" in dragon language, every sword will easily cut through the hard carapace of the ghost-striped soldier ants .

Probably seeing a large number of ghost pattern soldier ants rushing up the north city wall, and the new ant queen swimming in the low altitude of the canyon in the distance felt that the ant colony had a chance to attack the north city wall.

So it made a series of piercing screams from behind, and hearing that sound would give people a headache.

It urged the ant colony in the canyon to attack aggressively, and the ghost-striped red ants in the entire canyon were commotioning, forming a charging formation like a wave, and flocking to the north city wall wave after wave.

Chapter 769 The Death of the New Ant Queen

The ant colony climbing up the city wall encountered the most resolute resistance from the archers and crossbowmen this time.

Ordinary arrows can only effectively kill ghost-striped worker ants, but not enough to kill ghost-striped soldier ants. Therefore, as long as there are larger ghost-striped soldier ants standing in front of the ant colony, the city guard's continuous crossbow will Out of action.

At this time, it is necessary to kill the ghost pattern soldiers in the ant colony with the bed crossbow as soon as possible, and the archers cover them with arrow rain to completely cut off the attack of the ant colony.

Apparently, the new ant queen in the distance issued a clear command to attack.

There are a large number of soldier ants mixed in the ant colony, ready to break through the north city wall in one fell swoop, only in this way can the ant colony continue to go south.

The order of the new ant queen was obviously very firm, even hundreds of huge male ant guards moved from a distance, and the new ant queen also slowly fell into the ant colony. Surrounded by them, they cautiously approached the north city wall.

Since the sky is the territory of the rocs, although these rocs hardly fly over the Thorn Mountains most of the time, if they fly too high in the canyons of the Thorn Mountains, they are still in danger of being hunted.

It didn't dare to fly too high, and it didn't even dare to suspend its body within the range of the bed crossbow when it was close to the north city wall.

Because it knew that in that case, the bed crossbow on the city wall would definitely shoot and kill it immediately.

Seeing the soldier ants rushing up the north city wall, the new ant queen resolutely decided to mobilize all the ant colonies in the canyon to attack the north city wall at all costs.

And there are nearly two hundred giant ghost-striped drones gathered in its personal guard group, and these powerful combat forces will rush up together. In order to be able to absolutely control these ghost-striped drones, it has to venture into the range of the bed crossbow.

It didn't dare to fly at all, it only dared to float its body at the lowest altitude, and slowly approached with its wings flapping.

Suldak saw this scene in hand-to-hand combat, and exchanged glances with Andrew on the other side.

This is the moment we've been waiting for!

Among them, ten bed crossbows shot intensively, and all the giant crossbow bolts in the arrow slots were emptied. The city guards cut off the ropes hanging from the tail of the bed crossbows on the gantry frame, and 35 bed crossbows returned to their normal positions.

The rolling stones connected by ropes were pushed down the city wall at the same time, clearing out all the ant colonies climbing on the city wall.

The city guard lifted out the precious magic giant crossbow from the top of the shelf and installed it in the arrow slot of the bed crossbow.

At this moment, the phalanx of the male ant guard group has approached 600 meters away from the city wall, and the queen ant is hiding in the ant colony, blocked by the male ant in front.

The ghost pattern soldier ants on the top of the city seemed to have taken a stimulant. Even if they were cut in half, those soldier ants were fighting with their last breath against the heavy armored infantry on the city wall.

The colony of ants under the city wall surged up again, and not far away was the phalanx of the male ant guards.

Under the pressure of the army, the guards on the city finally saw the guard army composed of ghost-striped drones. If the size of giant soldier ants is compared to a rhinoceros, then these ghost-striped drones are war elephants. The male ants are almost five or six meters long. They not only have a pair of huge claws on their heads, but also have sharp bone scythes on the joints of each outrigger, and their bodies are also covered with gorgeous bone spurs. The armor is covered on the black hard carapace, which is actually double armor.

These ghost-striped male ants are like giant siege weapons. As they approached the northern city wall, they brought enormous psychological pressure to the city guards.

The herald on the watchtower made a gesture to Suldak, and Suldak raised the blood-red crescent in his hand high.

The herald immediately issued semaphores to the catapult camp inside the city wall.

The soldiers guarding the ten catapults immediately stopped installing the flint, and lifted a large wooden box from the warehouse, took out the round black iron balls inside, put them into the catapult very carefully, and followed the operator with a torch The fuze of the black iron ball was ignited, and the ten catapults threw the black iron ball with the ignited fuze in the basket almost simultaneously beyond the north city wall.

The new ant queen saw a black stone ball thrown from the north city wall, and thought it was still the same as before, it was the kind of flint that would roll and explode when hit on the ground.

It has four of the strongest ghost-striped male ants protecting its surroundings, even if a flint falls, it will never hit itself.

The black iron ball fell into the male ant guard group, only smashing the thick armor piece on the back of the ghost pattern male ant, without damaging the hard shell inside.

It is in the center of the SS camp, ready to continue to approach the northern city wall.

At this moment, a violent explosion sounded next to the future, a huge impact force accompanied by a deafening explosion sound, and at the same time as the flames burst out, a huge ghost-striped male ant was blown into three pieces Son.

The explosion also affected other ghost-striped drones, and the other two ghost-striped drones were blown to pieces with three legs on one side completely shattered.

Violent explosions sounded one after another, and the burly ghost-striped drones had nowhere to hide, and the drone guards were in chaos.

The new queen ant was also in this wave of explosions, and one of its wings was stabbed by a severed limb of a male ant, so that it could not maintain its balance when flying at low altitude.

It was frightened by the bursting flames, and the ghost-striped drones in the personal guard crawled out from the stumped limbs and arms, and almost all the drones blocked their bodies around the new queen.

In the dense fog like gunpowder smoke, the exact location of the new queen ant could not be found at all.

The new ant queen was worried about another wave of explosions, and she was already scared out of her wits.

The new ant queen dragged her slightly obese body, flapping her wings recklessly to take off, trying to quickly escape to the middle of the canyon.

The moment it flew out from the protective wall of the male ant pro-guard group, the ten bed crossbows that had been waiting in full swing on the north city wall adjusted their angles almost at the same time, and then the ten giant crossbows shot at the new ant queen in no particular order. Save and shoot away.

Several giant crossbow arrows passed through the fat body of the new queen ant, and a smear of light brown juice burst out from her body. The queen ant's wings, which looked like a big fly, shattered and fell into the smoky battlefield.

The moment the arrow fell from the new queen ant, several male ants of the guard group rushed up. They twisted their clumsy bodies, first surrounded the queen ant, and protected the queen ant. The ghost-striped male ant used the pincers to fork up the seriously injured queen, and was about to leave the battlefield area in front of the north city wall quickly.

They moved quite quickly, but the explosion frightened the ghost-striped worker ants around them. They couldn't sense the message from the new queen, and immediately became a mess.

Countless ghost-striped worker ants gathered towards the explosion area like a death squad, blocking all the ghost-striped male ants' escape route for a while.

The two ghost-striped male ants could only rely on their brute strength to forcefully open a path with their bodies, and kept moving towards the middle of the Duodan Canyon, but because there were countless ghost-striped worker ants blocking the way, their retreat speed was not considered fast. .

And the most important thing is that the speed of the second reloading of the catapult inside the city wall is not too slow. The whole process is the four steps of positioning, loading, igniting, and launching.

A new wave of black bombs was thrown, and ten black bombs detonated one by one outside the city.

The corpses of ghost-striped red ants exploded one after another, and the male ant guards suffered another heavy blow. This time, the queen ant was even more unlucky, and the bomb detonated directly on top of her head, not only blowing up the new queen ant to pieces, but also taking the new ant queen with her. The two ghost-striped male ants that fled later were also decapitated, and the two layers of armor did not save its life.

The moment the new ant queen was blown to death on the battlefield, the ghost-striped red ants in the entire canyon became sluggish for a moment. They felt that the king was dead...

The ghost-striped red ants in the canyon turned into a mess of sand again. Without the queen's orders, they were no longer so active in attacking the city.

The ant colony under the city wall began to disperse into the canyon, and countless red ants were fleeing.

……

Suldak didn't expect that the gunpowder prepared last year to blast the river would be of great use this time when he was stationed on the north wall of Dodan Town.

Twenty bombs were detonated at once, completely blowing up the guard group of ghost pattern soldiers and ants.

The north city gate had been sealed for five days. As the iron fence was opened by the city guards with a noose, Aung San led a group of aborigines, endured the stench, rushed into the gate hole of the north city wall, and drove the ghosts in the passage to the gate. The carcass of the red ant was dragged away, and the road leading to the North Canyon was quickly opened.

The city gate was still filled with the stench and the pungent smell of sour liquid. A team of cavalry rushed to the outside of the northern city. They were not chasing and killing the thousands of ghost-striped red ants in the canyon, but they wanted to kill the ghost-striped red ants in a limited number During the time, collect as many spoils on the battlefield as possible, such as the remains of the ghost-striped drones that were blown to death.

Of course, the most important trophy is the new ant queen who is full of magical giant crossbow bolts.

The 35 bed crossbows on the top of the city began to attack the ant colony gathered under the city wall. As long as they were within the effective range, these crossbowmen began to shoot and kill those ghost pattern soldier ants. not coming back.

Opening the gate of the north city wall, a team of cavalry and a team of heavy armored infantry quickly spread out outside the city, and then quickly pressed towards the ant colony in the canyon.

The heavy armored infantry immediately collected giant crossbow arrows, ordinary arrows, and some huge rolling stones on the battlefield, followed by ghost pattern soldiers and ants who died in the city. As long as they were of any value, they almost threw them into the carriage.

Now race against time to snatch all the wealth.

After the new ant queen was shot, the male ant guard group was also instantly shattered. Those male ants that were like giant chariots, as long as they were not killed by the gunpowder, turned around and walked towards the north of Dodan Canyon.

Apart from the huge crater left by the explosion, there were only the corpses of ghost-striped drones left on the battlefield, and some drones were seriously injured by the blast and could only wait to die on the battlefield.

The cavalry rushed into this area quickly, facing those ghost-striped drones that were not completely dead, they didn't even have the qualifications to make up the knife.

As long as they found live ghost-striped drones, the cavalry would greet the city wall, mobilize bed crossbows and punch a few holes in them, and then they would calm down completely.

Suldak went out of the city himself this time, and finally found the mutilated body of the new ant queen at the edge of the battlefield.

When the mercenaries in the town saw the city gate open, they also began to organize their men to go into the canyon to hunt the ghost-striped red ants.

For a while, the cavalry of the garrison camp drove the ghost-striped red ants to the middle of the canyon a few kilometers away, but the cavalry didn't dare to pursue too deep, and only dared to swim around the range of the bed crossbow on the north city wall.

Aung San led a team of aboriginal people through the city gate and came to the bottom of the city wall.

These aborigines brought various tools and began to carefully clean the oil tank under the city wall to make sufficient preparations for the next ant swarm to attack the city.

In fact, Aung San had to check the structural damage of the lower part of the city wall in addition to cleaning the oil gathering tank. Some foundation stones that were completely broken had to be pried out and a new one put in. This kind of work can only be done by skilled bricklayers.

"This commander is actually a ruthless person! He actually killed the queen ant..." The old bricklayer squatted under the city wall, commanding two apprentices to lift a strip-shaped cornerstone and insert it into the gap.

The young bricklayer also said enviously: "I heard that those boys in the city defense army have made a fortune. If I knew that the beast tide makes so much money, I would have joined the city defense team!"

"If you want to go now, it's not too late!" said the companion.

The young bricklayer hummed and said, "Forget it, if you join now, you can only enter the reserve."

Chapter 770 Harvest

The new ant queen died under the concentrated sniping of ten bed crossbows, among which four magical giant crossbow bolts pierced the new ant queen's body.

It didn't even have time to release its innate magic. This method of death may be the least dignified among the fourth-level monsters.

The garrison camp in Duodan Town was in a mess. With the retreat of the ant colony, almost all the garrison troops were dispatched outside the city to try to expand the results of the battle.

There are only some wounded soldiers left, but they are also trying to do what they can.

The solid loess road in the camp was dug into deep ditches by obviously overloaded four-wheeled carriages. The rubber-wrapped wheel hubs had been crushed to some extent, and the number of ancient Borai horses pulling the carts had increased from two to four. , There are ten soldiers behind each carriage pushing the cart all the way, so as to transport the huge corpses of ghost-striped male ants on the battlefield outside the city back to the barracks.

In particular, one of the four-wheeled carriages was surrounded by twenty cavalry regiments. It was not until the carriage entered the barracks that the twenty cavalry turned their horses and returned to the battlefield outside the city.

The carriage that drove into the barracks stopped directly at the door of the small building where Suerdak lived.

The outside of the small building was lined up with wounded people waiting for treatment. Everyone looked curiously at the new ant queen with six incomplete wings on the carriage. With the strong sense of oppression brought by the high-level monsters, no one dared to approach.

The coachman couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage, his body was still stained with a lot of mud and the light brown blood from the ghost-striped red ants.

He strode to the door of the small building, and the wounded waiting at the door stepped back consciously, and the coachman knocked on the door a few times.

A little aboriginal girl pushed open the door from the house. She had a pretty face and a sweet smile on her face. She was wearing a clean sarong and held a roll of hemostatic bandage in the other hand. It was Nika. , She followed Selina to the military camp today to help, and it happened that Suldak needed an assistant.

Nika smiled and said to the coachman: "What's the matter with you? If you are injured, you should queue up at the back if it is not serious. If there are serious injuries, please bring them here quickly, and you can give priority to treatment."

"No, no, please tell the Commander that the new ant queen has been safely transported to the camp, and he needs to receive these important monster materials in person," said the coachman Nika.

Facing this aborigine, the coachman gave enough respect.

Because she is the maid of Commander Suldak.

Nika didn't even have time to close the door, so she turned around and ran back to the house.

Not long after, someone came out of the room. First was a heavy armored infantryman with a cane on one leg. During the battle on the city wall, his left calf was bitten off by the ghost pattern soldier ants. Although the bone was completely broken, luckily What's more, most of the tendons and blood vessels are still connected, and the skin is only half damaged.

After Surdak's treatment, his broken left calf was successfully reattached.
