When Jada saw Minte, her eyes widened: "Why are you..." Suddenly she felt something was wrong. When she turned around and saw the giant insect, she also gasped: "What is this?!" She found that it came out of the carriage. , then looked at Sargent in surprise.
Sargent's face was pale at this time and he was sweating all over. He struggled to stand up from the ground. A dark green bead rolled down from his arms. He didn't realize it. He just pulled out the long knife from his waist and faced the The monster said: "Run quickly..."
Jada was stunned: "You..."
"Run!" Sargent screamed, knocked him away with great force, and then slashed at the monster with his knife.
The giant insect raised its claws and swung his knife to the ground. He was pushed to the side by the force and fell. When he looked up, he saw the monster approaching him, staring straight at him. His breathing suddenly became rapid, and he swallowed hard. But the giant insect just stared at him for a while, turned its eyes, and glanced at the bead on the ground. It took long steps and crawled towards the bead.
Jada, who fell next to the beads, gasped and backed away. Minte quickly got up and pulled him back. He was still shouting: "Sargent, let's go quickly..." At this time, the giant insect slowly walked over and left them. Only less than three meters. Looking at the ferocious monster, both of them felt weak in their legs.
Upon seeing this, Sargent hurriedly picked up his long knife and slashed at the giant insect, trying to stop it from moving forward, but the shell of the giant insect was very hard. He tried his best, but only left a few shallow lines on the shell. The shallow marks only angered the giant insect and pushed him aside again. He fell to the ground, feeling severe pain all over his body, but when he saw that the giant insect had raised its pincers towards Jeda, as if it wanted to hurt him, he felt anxious and inadvertently swept the beads on the ground. Suddenly he seemed to understand something and rushed forward suddenly. Go up and pick up the broken oil lamp on the ground. He hit the bead hard and it shattered. The fragments of the oil lamp pierced his hand, and the oil on it burned.
Sargent screamed, and at the same time heard a long roar from the giant insect, his eyes widened. She raised her big pincers and attacked him, throwing him to the ground. The serrations on her pincers cut him to pieces. Jada was so heartbroken that she yelled, "Sargent!"
Sargent struggled under the insect's claws and shouted: "Go!" and then used his burning palm to break off the claws. The giant insect was burned by the fire, roared in pain, and threw Sargent far away with a swing. The surrounding carriage shook even more, and more insect legs came out.
Minte was shocked. Jada forgot about her fear and rolled towards Sargent, calling his name repeatedly. The latter's whole body was covered in blood and he was already dying. He used all his strength to say: "Run away, they are demons..." and then there was no more sound.
"Sargent!!!" Jada was wailing in her heart, desperately shaking her friend who had known her for more than 20 years, unable to believe that he fell in front of her like this.
A group of soldiers ran nearby. Everyone was frightened when they saw this. A few were brave enough to throw their long knives and other weapons at the monsters. Want to stop it from getting closer. But the monster was originally burned by the fire. Temper is getting bad. Encountered such provocation. Crazy with rage. He threw those sharp weapons back like crazy. Several soldiers were unable to escape. They all fell to the ground.
All carriage carriages were propped open. The pieces fell to the ground. Twenty or thirty giant insects waved their large pincers and sharp pincers. Came over with teeth and claws. The soldiers screamed and scattered.
Minte saw that Jada was still calling Sargent sadly. He rushed over and pulled him away. But he threw Minte away: "Don't touch me!"
Minte suddenly became furious. Old and new hatreds welled up in my heart. He punched him: "Do you want the monster to eat you and let Sargent die in vain?!"
Jada's face suddenly swelled. There was blood coming from the corner of the mouth. But he regained consciousness. Busy suppressing the grief in my heart. Leaving the body of my friend in tears. He just ran a few meters. One soldier was thrown into the sky by a giant insect. It landed where he originally was. He died with a growl in his throat.
Jada looked around. More than a dozen soldiers have been thrown to the ground by giant insects. Smash it to the ground. There were heavy casualties. Most of the rest fled in panic. Minte kept urging him. He gritted his teeth. Loudly ordered the soldiers to retreat quickly. Then he and Minte fled towards the forward camp.
Just after running more than a hundred meters, Xie De, dressed in black, ran towards him to greet him: "Are you injured?!" Seeing the scene in front of him from a distance, he also took a breath of cold air, but he didn't notice the people next to him. MINT.
Jada shook his head and found that in the rows of tents in front of him, several soldiers had heard the sound, but they didn't know what happened. They were getting out of the tents in disheveled clothes to take a look. He was shocked: "Oh no, there are still more than 20,000 people living here!" He quickly glanced at the big bronze bell on the reviewing stand in front of him. A figure flashed out of the corner of his eye, and Minte flew up, grabbed the pendulum and got down to the ground. Hemp rope, hit hard.
The bell rang throughout the camp, and all the soldiers were awakened and stood up to dress to see what had happened. Jada climbed up to the high platform and used the loudest voice he could make to order all soldiers to retreat immediately to the north area of Xiko Town. At this time, some soldiers either heard the truth from their comrades who had escaped, or caught a glimpse of the monster emerging from the billowing dust behind them. They all screamed and backed away, running with all their strength.
Jada shouted to each team leader to take care of his soldiers to avoid trampling on each other, but the people around him were so chaotic and noisy that no one could hear him clearly. Minte then rang the bell vigorously again to calm everyone down, and then added a loudspeaker magic to Jada, so that he could successfully issue the order. After a brief panic, the captains of all sizes calmed down and directed their soldiers to evacuate to Xike quickly and orderly.
Some of the cavalry found their horses, and most of them could only run on their legs. However, the reputation of Noga's army was worthy of its name. Even though they knew that the monster was getting closer, they could barely maintain a basic formation and retreat. . Even though some of the people at the end died miserably in the monster's claws, they did not run around in panic, but moved much faster.
Minter held her wand and sent a signal to the sky. Jada, who was watching the soldiers retreat, suddenly grabbed him: "What are you doing?!" Shade also looked at him warily.
Minte frowned and shook off Jada's hand: "Those monsters are too dangerous. Who knows when they will run into our territory, of course we must issue a warning!" After that, he ignored them and directly issued an "extremely dangerous" " signal, and another signal "No approaching, retreat quickly" signal. The colorful light is particularly conspicuous in the dark night. I believe my colleagues on the mountain and Mallory in the town can see it.
Looking back at the smoke and dust getting closer and closer, he turned down from the high platform, pulled one of the horses specially brought by the soldiers, and called Jada: "Let's go quickly. If you don't leave, those monsters will come!"
Shade glanced at him coldly and whispered to Jeda to leave, but Jeda shook her head firmly: "The entrance to Xike Land is small, and there are more than 20,000 of us. If we just leave without doing anything, Wait until these monsters catch up. How many people do you think will be able to escape into the town?"
Minte's eyes widened: "What do you want to do?"
"You can do anything!" Jada grabbed a few barrels of iron arrows, pulled a strong bow, and looked at the giant insects dozens of meters away, "I don't know what those things are, and I don't know where they came from. But I was the one who made the decision to go to war, and I was the one who brought these 30,000 people here! I can’t let them die here. “Are you crazy? ! Minte rushed forward, "What can you do on your own?" ! "
Jada gave him a sneer look. Draw the bow, draw the arrow, and let it go. An iron arrow shot at the strange insect closest to them like lightning, hitting the left eye. The strange insect screamed, rolled back and forth on the ground, and brought down a tent next to it. The tarpaulin covered it, and it struggled to After getting rid of it, he got entangled in the hemp rope used to set up the camp, and ended up getting tighter and tighter.
The other giant insects accelerated their advance. Jada shot a few more arrows, but this time only one hit the giant insect's eye. The giant insect flailed its tail in pain and knocked all surrounding objects to the ground, but inadvertently blocked the progress of its companions.
Seeing this, Shade also picked up his bow and arrow and attacked. The two of them worked together, but they only stopped a few giant insects. More giant insects scattered from both sides. Wherever they passed, tents, wooden frames and other debris were all knocked down. The horses that could not be taken away in the future were frightened. Channel. But he became a victim of the giant insect's mouth.
Minte gritted his teeth, quickly pulled down the quiver hanging outside the tent next to him, and shot a few arrows, but his skills were far inferior to the two Noga warriors, so he had to give up and collect arrow branches and spare bows for them. When I came, I accidentally saw the still-extinguished torch stuck beside the tent, and suddenly I remembered that Sargent had used his burning hands to open the giant insect's claws and injure the giant insect. He quickly grabbed several torches. He also found a few bags of wooden arrows and oil cans, dipped the arrowheads in oil and burned them. Passed it to Jada: "Use this, they are afraid of fire!"
Jada took a few breaths, looked at him, then grabbed the arrow and shot it. Although the arrow body was not strong enough and not as powerful as the iron arrow, but when she heard the screams of the giant insects when they were burned by the fire, she knew that the fire attack was effective. of. Minte and Jada were both overjoyed. The former quickly tore off a few pieces of cloth, wrapped them around the back of the iron arrowhead, dipped it in oil and ignited it, and then the latter shot it out. Jada tried her best and shot the three giant insects in the eyes, mouth, and neck and throat one after another. The last two were struggling on the ground, but the one with the injured eye rushed forward with a ball of fire, even knocking down its companions. opened.
There was the sound of galloping horses' hooves from behind, and a group of horse archers arrived quickly: "Your Majesty the Duke, we are here to help you!" "Okay!" Jada shouted: "Shoot in their eyes and throats! Use rockets!" The horse archers They all responded in unison and set up their bows and arrows. Minte threw a few torches over, and they took the burning arrows and started shooting.
Jedda shouted an order and asked the archers to take turns shooting arrows at the giant insects. The effect was remarkable, but gradually, the giant insects also learned the lesson. Every time they saw an arrow coming, they would raise their pincers to ward it off. , and even turned his body to let his hard shell greet the rain of arrows. As the arrows were consumed, the combat effectiveness of the human side began to pale in comparison.
Minte went around looking for usable bows, arrows, knives and guns for other people to use, but when he saw smoke and dust rising from behind the tent next to him, and two or three dark shadows coming this way, he was so frightened that he hurried back to the high platform. Chu shouted: "They're coming from the side! Let's go!"
Jeda was startled and looked at the town in the distance. Seeing that some of the soldiers had not yet entered the gate, she gritted her teeth and said, "Hold on a little longer! They will be evacuated soon!"
Once the soldiers have finished withdrawing, they will not be able to withdraw. He didn't want to die at the hands of that kind of monster.
Min Te was so angry that he got back on his horse. He accidentally caught a glimpse of the tents behind them and the torches still burning in their hands. He suddenly had a plan and hurriedly said: "I have a way! Burn this tent! See if they can break through." The sea of fire chases us!”
Jada was stunned for a moment, but Shade, who was next to him, had already picked him up and threw him onto his horse. He turned around and ordered the horse archers: "Cover! Let's retreat immediately!"
"Shade!" Just as Jada shouted, the captain of the cavalry had already responded loudly, and they all grabbed their quivers and torches and mounted their horses. While shooting rockets at the giant insect, he covered Jada and rushed towards Xi Ke. Jie Da didn't insist anymore. He just looked at the central military tent not far away, then gritted his teeth and shot an arrow there, and the tent slowly burned.
Xie De suddenly pointed in one direction: "That's the kitchen tent over there, there's oil." Minte turned his head and glanced. He galloped over and saw a cart of small oil cans placed inside the empty tent. He quickly got off his horse and pushed the cart out. He threw the oil cans beside each tent one by one. Then he lit the tarp and pulled a handful of it. The hemp ropes of the tents caused these burning tents to fall down and connect them together.
When he returned to the team, more than half of the entire military camp was on fire. It was almost a sea of fire, and the roar of giant insects reached everyone's ears through the firelight, and everyone shivered. Jada looked at the burning camp with complicated eyes. He waved his hand and ordered: "Go back to town!"
When they ran to the entrance of the North District, they heard the buzzing of insects from behind. It turned out that the giant insects were afraid of fire, so they had to avoid the fire area, surrounded them from both sides, and approached them again. They had no choice but to hit their horses and run as fast as they could. Seeing that there were still a hundred or so soldiers left outside the door, they shouted loudly to them to leave quickly. The soldiers panicked and rushed through the door. The captains, big and small, were busy maintaining order. After finally waiting for the last person to enter the door, Jie Da and others who were laying the ceremony also arrived. As soon as they rushed into the door, someone closed the thick wooden door, and then quickly piled sandbags, earth bags and gravel bags on it to make it stable. Gates and walls.
Minte climbed off the horse, his feet went weak, and he sat down on the ground. His whole body was exhausted. I couldn't speak, I could only breathe heavily.
Jada issued several orders in succession, asking people to strengthen the walls, pay attention to the movements of monsters, and collect as many items as possible that could be used as weapons, especially torches. After his subordinates were ordered to retreat, he leaned against the wall and took a short rest. Seeing Minte, he glared hard and spat out blood: "Tell me the truth. What the hell are those?!"
Minte took a few breaths. Then he said feebly: "How can I know about the things in your own military camp?!"
Jada covered her face. Holding back his emotions: "Those... are Sargent's secret weapons, but there is no way he can get those terrible things... He was killed..."
Minte recalled Sargent's strange behavior before, and said thoughtfully: "The shining green bead that fell out of his arms, I remember... I saw it in the dark cabinet in the study of Prince Lawler's house. ! Haven’t you seen it? How could you let him hold that magic bead?!”
"Magic beads?" Jada raised her head sharply, "What magic beads?! I only took the documents from the secret cabinet, and all the other jewelry was handed over to Sargent! What's wrong with that bead...?!"
Minte sighed: "That magic bead is a very scary thing. It will bring out the deepest desires in people's hearts, and then..."
"Do you mean another friend betrayed me after you?!" Jada yelled before he could finish.
Minte's face darkened: "Sargent has proven his loyalty with his life, so please listen to what I have to say first!" Seeing that Jada calmed down a little, he continued: "That bead leads to After holding a person's pearl, he will take advantage of his wavering mind to induce him to have thoughts that he shouldn't have, and then take the opportunity to manipulate him. Once I touched that bead, I had some things that I knew I would never have. Earth thoughts, so... Sargent must have been manipulated by that magic bead, but at the last moment, he still woke up and saved you."
Jada lost her expression and sat down on the ground next to the wall. He and Sargent have known each other for more than twenty years. They met when they were children, and it was only in the past few years that they became true friends. Although Sargent always regarded himself as a subordinate and had his own plans, he had been accompanying him through all the difficulties for so many years. In order to provide him with help, he even gave up the aristocratic territory within easy reach and settled down to be a minor in the palace. Captain of the guard. He really didn't want to doubt his friend. Knowing that the other party was still loyal made him feel relieved, but he was also saddened by the tragic death of the other party.
Xie De looked at him frequently, but did not make a sound, and just stood by the side quietly.
Seeing this, Minte couldn't say anything, so he had to remain silent. Suddenly he was worried that the giant insects couldn't come in, and would they turn to other areas? Thinking of this, he quickly got up with difficulty: "I want to go back to the south and inform them to strengthen their defense..."
Before he finished speaking, a squad leader rushed in: "Your Majesty the Duke! Those monsters are digging into the wall!"
(I couldn’t break it up... so I had to post it all...)
