The giant insect opened its big claws, digging and smashing on the city wall, and slamming it with its hard shell. From time to time, it used its head to push the top of the wall. The city wall was originally built by the townspeople themselves, and the regular army of humans resisted it. How can it withstand the attacks of these monsters if it is so simple? A gap soon appeared, and the bricks and earth on the wall shattered and spilled, pouring ash on the monsters.
Jie Da could see clearly on the wall, her eyes were splitting, and she suddenly turned her head and shouted: "Prepare hot oil!" Someone had already collected various oils from civilians' homes in the North District, poured them into a large iron pot, and brought them to a boil. On top of the wall, Jedda gave an order, and the soldiers poured the hot oil down the wall.
The giant insect was scalded by the hot oil, and its painful cry was loud. A soldier pouring the oil lost his balance and almost fell down. Fortunately, he was pulled by his companion next to him. Minte covered his ears and squatted down. When he saw the giant insects struggling to retreat, he jumped up and shouted: "Shoot the rockets quickly!" Jada immediately understood his intention, waved to call the archers, and The arrows shot out like a rain of arrows and landed around and on the giant insect, and the fire started immediately.
Seeing all the giant insects struggling in the sea of fire, Jada breathed a sigh of relief, endured the soaring heat wave, and ordered the archers to continue to replenish the fire heads so that the giant insects could not extinguish the fire on their bodies.
Unexpectedly, the fire only burned for less than ten minutes, and the situation changed. The giant insects suddenly jumped on each other's companions, rubbing against each other's shells, and then the giant insects that were pressed underneath began to squirm, slowly sloughing out of the burning shells, revealing their gray-white bodies. These white creatures rolled quickly and escaped from the fire. An archer shot an arrow and scratched the skin of one of them, leaving a black mark. The creature was angered, opened its mouth, and spit out A mouthful of saliva struck the archer like lightning, but the latter couldn't avoid it and was hit. His whole body turned black, he twitched and fell to the wall, and was instantly submerged in a pile of giant insects.
"Shield!" Jada shouted as he hid behind the wall. Immediately, a group of soldiers rushed up to the wall with iron shields and blocked the archers. The mutated giant insects came over again and spit. It was blocked by the iron shield, but the iron shield also became pitch black and could only block about ten times, so it had to be thrown away and replaced with a new one. Four soldiers replaced it more slowly and were immediately overcome by the venom on the shield, all over their bodies. Blackened and died.
After all the giant insects have shed their shells, the fire under the wall is almost extinguished, and the originally green grass has long turned into scorched earth. But those giant white insects started another round of mutations.
Most of the giant insects have their legs or large claws burned off after molting. After losing these body parts, they began to form groups of two or three, squirming and squeezing each other, and actually formed one again. What was different from the previous appearance was that their heads became triangular, and their mouths were sharp and hard. , the body is elongated by one-third, but the tail becomes shorter and thicker. Four short legs grew out from under the body. Without the big claws, the four short legs could be contracted to the abdomen. The whole giant insect became like a centipede, stretching and crawling forward, but right there As it stretched and contracted, circles of black hard shells appeared on the surface of its body, gradually growing all over its body, and even a scale appeared above its eyes. Blocking external attacks, the big yellow eyes kept turning, staring in the direction of the wall, opening their big mouths, revealing sharp teeth, and roared in unison. A strong wind blew towards the wall, and everyone was unable to stand still. Several more soldiers fell off the wall.
The mutated giant insect suddenly accelerated its movement speed. Minter blinked only a few times. I saw them coming to the wall and pecking at the wall with their hard heads. After a while, a hole was dug out.
Jada shouted in a hoarse voice: "Pour the oil! Light the fire! Shoot the arrows!" The soldiers attacked again. The giant insects were scalded by the hot oil and retreated again, but this time they were on fire again. They only needed to put away their limbs and roll on the ground for a few times before the fire was extinguished, and then launched another attack. Although there are only a dozen or so left, their attack power is stronger than before.
Inside the wall, Minte saw soldiers adding sandbags to the back of the door and the wall to thicken the wall, so he went over to help. While he was stacking them, he saw a hole the size of a washbasin suddenly opened in the wall less than two meters away from him, and a ferocious head emerged from it. It was a mutated giant insect. A soldier couldn't avoid it and was bitten by it. He immediately fell to the ground and died.
People around him screamed and scattered. A few brave soldiers stabbed it with sharp spears. But it slyly avoided it. return. Biting the end of a gun. Instead, he pushed the gun-wielding soldier away. Still struggling to get in. Min Te was shocked when he saw this. But there is no weapon in hand. A flash of inspiration. He yelled "Get out of the way!" and launched an Earthquake Technique in that direction. The ground suddenly shook. A low earth wall rises from the ground. Just hit the giant insect's chin. It got stuck. Min Te was delighted when he saw this. He was busy reciting the incantation. Raise that wall. The head of the giant insect could not move. Immediately there was a soldier who had the opportunity to make up for it. He was slashing at its neck. It's a pity that there is a hard case blocking it. Was bounced back.
A tall and strong officer shouted: "Get out of the way!" and then rushed over with a silver spear in hand. Stab into the giant insect's head. The giant insect twitched twice. Then he stopped moving. The hard shell on his body suddenly softened. Gradually degrade. The soldiers took the opportunity to chop off its head. He stabbed it with a knife and threw it into a large vat next to the fire. After a stench. The insect head turned into black ash. Soldiers had already moved the big rocks. The gap in the city wall was filled.
The half of the insect corpse left outside the wall. The surface of the skin was already showing a lifeless gray color. But a giant insect crawled over. Another change. He actually has an extra pair of legs. Bend your knees slightly. Then he jumped up. Jump up the wall.
Jada recoiled in shock. The soldiers blocked it with their shields. But it is not its opponent. Killed one after another. The giant insect shook off the soldiers. Crawling toward the wall. A large pot of hot oil was thrown in front of him. It screamed and struggled. Looking at Jada scalding herself. The mouth opened wide. Jada took a deep breath. Pulled the spear next to him. Then he stabbed it hard. He was stabbing the giant insect in the neck. But it only pushed it back a few steps. Shade quickly rushed over carrying a thick log. He knocked the giant insect off the wall with his gun.
Mint climbed the wall just in time to see this scene. He shouted hurriedly: "Hard weapons can stab the heads of those monsters. They must be burned to ashes with fire to prevent mutations!"
Jada and Shade listened. He hurriedly looked down the wall. Sure enough, he saw the giant insect that had been shot split into two parts from the wound. Then it was fused with other giant insects. Suddenly there were several more jumping landworms. He stared at the wall eagerly. It seemed like he was about to jump up at any moment.
Jada's hands were trembling slightly: "What on earth are these..." He clenched his fists, unable to believe that he would die at this time and in this place. He still hasn't figured out why things turned out like this? !
Shade whispered from the side: "Your Majesty the Duke, please change your clothes. You can pretend to be a civilian and sneak into other residential areas in the town, and then find a way to return home. It's too dangerous here!"
Jada stared at him hard: "Impossible! I won't be a deserter!"
Shade glanced warily at Minte, who was not far away, and whispered to him again. Minte had already heard what they said. Frowning slightly, he was about to say something, but saw that the situation under the wall had changed again, and hurriedly called them: "Look! The monster has retreated!"
Hearing this, Jie Da quickly looked around and saw that the giant insects stopped attacking and neatly formed two queues, retreating to the left and right. However, there were three black figures walking towards the center in front of them, taking advantage of the dim light at dawn. You can see that they are three monsters that are twice the size of giant insects. Their whole bodies are dark, except for their two eyes, which are bright red. Each monster has a person hunched over on its back. The leader's whole body was covered in black cloth, with only a pair of dark red eyes exposed. The man on the left was dressed in gray and seemed familiar, and the man on the right was none other than Esparo.
Jada seemed to understand something at that moment: "It was you?! It was you who brought those monsters to the military camp?!"
Esparo laughed loudly: "The secret weapon reported by your most trusted subordinate, the pass signed by you personally, we want to thank you. If it weren't for your cooperation, we wouldn't be able to transport these little cuties so smoothly." Come so far away.”
Jada was filled with hatred: "You...manipulated Sargent to do things he didn't want to do?! I should have known better and couldn't trust you!"
"It's too late to talk about this now, my dear Duke Jedda." Esparo smiled proudly. After receiving a faint glance from the man in black next to him, he restrained his smile and said sternly: "Now you have Knowing how powerful our army..." He stretched out his hand to indicate the direction of the giant insect, "...how powerful it is, what do you think? Do you choose to cooperate with us? Or choose to perish?"
Jada's face was gloomy: "What do you mean?"
"It means... if you are a smart person and choose to cooperate. Then join us and sweep across this continent. Haven't you always dreamed of this day? We can help you realize your wish. But if you stupidly refuse our hand ..." Esparo sneered and glanced at the corpses of the soldiers under the city wall, "You and all your men will die!"
Jada's eyes shot out with a sharp look: "Do you think that just these ten monsters can wipe out tens of thousands of us?!"
Esparo chuckled: "My Lord the Duke, please allow me to remind you. The pass you approved originally was for two copies. There are still a group of cuties who have not come."
Jada's face turned pale. When Minte saw this, he knew it was probably the truth. He immediately leaned over and asked, "How many are there in the second batch?!"
Jada gritted her teeth and replied: "Forty cars! Almost twice as many as now! And there is another batch in Nomonka..."
Minte took a breath, but heard Esparo say from the wall: "We have been cooperating for such a long time, and I am not so ruthless. I will give you half a day to think about it. After twelve hours, We will come again to listen to your answer." He smiled evilly, "Of course, with the little cuties..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the leading man in black raised his hand and all the giant insects quickly retreated. The grassland returned to calm in the blink of an eye. If it weren't for the remaining sparks and the scorched ground, everyone would have thought that what just happened was just a dream.
It was dawn, and a ray of morning light shone on the top of the city wall. Minte looked around at the post-war situation, and felt his body weakening. He accidentally turned around and saw Jedda standing there upright, with an unpredictable face, and he suddenly became vigilant: "Hey! You don't want to agree, do you?"
Jada glanced at him coldly, turned around and left. He hurriedly chased after her, but was stopped by Shade: "What do you want to do?!"
"Of course I want to ask your Excellency the Duke about his plans!" Minte said angrily, "If he is really afraid of death and is willing to become a companion of those monsters, I will definitely not let him go!" After saying that, he pushed Shade away. , chased behind Jada, and happened to hear him giving the order: "...all the teams are divided into three groups, one group rests. One group is on guard, and the other group repairs the city wall and prepares defensive supplies. They rotate every three hours! The lightly injured are treated intensively. Send the seriously injured to residential areas and let the residents help. This is a matter of life and death for everyone!"
All subordinates took orders. Jada tiredly walked into the temporary command post, a small wooden cabin, and sat down on a chair. When she saw Mint coming in, she frowned: "What are you going to do?! Why don't you go back to your place?!"
Minte pulled up a chair with an unkind expression and sat down opposite him: "I found out that you have a lot of objections to me?! To be honest, although I came to you to inquire about information, besides stealing When have things ever harmed you?! I also helped you a lot in your fight with Prince Mario and Prince Lawlor. Even your Majesty the King’s illness was cured by me with my help in preparing medicine! More Don't tell me that I just saved your life last night! Do you deserve to talk to me like this?!"
Jada twitched her lips: "So... I still want to be grateful to you? Thank you so much for your life-saving grace, and also for your life-saving grace to Your Majesty. Do you want us to give you the entire country as a token of our gratitude?" "
Min Te was so angry that he was itching his teeth: "What are you talking about?! It was you who came to invade my country first! We never had any idea of you!"
Jada shut up, but her expression was still full of resentment. Minte calmed down a little, but still couldn't help but ridiculed: "Actually, you are just uncomfortable in your heart. You think you trust me, and you still tell me your worries and bitterness. With those words, you can't even speak to His Majesty Gale II. Neither Miss Junia nor Sargent told me, but they told me, so you feel that my identity as a spy is embarrassing to you, right?" Seeing Jada's face wilting, he slowed down and said: "This It's a personal grudge between us. At most I'll let you hit me a few times afterwards. But this matter is of great importance, so don't be stupid!"
Jada snorted and was silent for a while before asking: "What kind of monsters are those? How could there be such a thing in this world? Also, isn't Esparo a noble of your country? How could it be? With that kind of monster?"
Minte was also puzzled: "I originally thought that he was either colluding with your Noga, or had something to do with Weisha. Later, when I arrived at Nomonka, I found out that he was from Prince Mario's side, but Mali After the death of Prince Ao, he came to your side again. I thought he was the kind of person who could turn to different forces without hesitation for revenge. Only now do I know that he..."
"That's what I originally thought," Jada said. "At first I just thought he was a speculator who wanted to make profits, but later I found out that he had something to do with Mario. After Junia disappeared, I found wherever she left traces , all had his shadow, but he claimed to be ill at the time and was recuperating at home. I had doubts in my heart. After completely losing Juniya's whereabouts, I followed him to Shaonan. I found that he was connected to the trafficking group. Really I don’t understand, he is obviously talented and the plan he wrote is very good, but he would do that kind of thing! I have never trusted him very much. If he could not provide military rations and fodder, I would not let him come with the army. "
He looked very sad, obviously regretting this decision: "He actually got together with that kind of monster, is he a devil?!"
"Devil?" An idea flashed in Minte's mind, "That's right! I've seen creatures that look very similar to that kind of monster! It's a snowfield monster! The snowfield monster north of the God's Blade! Although their appearance is a little different, they have Lots of similarities!”
"You mean those are the snowfield monsters? Just like what the ancient mythology said, the snowfield monsters are going to invade the mainland?!"
Minte ignored the ridicule in his tone and said: "Of course those are not Snowfield Warcraft! Snowfield Warcraft are much stronger than them! When I was a child, my grandfather..." suddenly reacted and coughed: "I heard with my own ears that the elves are the best. The archers besieged a group of snowfield monsters, using fine steel arrows made by dwarves, plus... the fire poison juice prepared by the great magician himself, to eliminate them. The monsters last night were not that strong, and He's afraid of fire, but his mutated appearance is a bit like that of the Snowfield Monster..." Minte grabbed his hair and tried to think back, how was the fire poison juice prepared at that time? Those materials are too precious, maybe they can't be found in Xi'an? But these monsters are not that strong, and they may not need fire poison...
The look on Jada's face changed: "It's actually a monster...could it...be a demon realm?" He lowered his head in thought and didn't say a word for a long time.
Minte immediately became vigilant and said seriously: "You won't give in, will you? Don't be stupid, they are monsters and devils! Think of Sargent, think of those dead soldiers! Warcraft are irrational! Just obey them. It means I will be eaten by them at any time!”
"Shut up!" Jada glanced at him, "Who do you think I am?! I am the Noga royal family, a descendant of Emperor Nicodemus! Do you think I will kneel in front of traitors and monsters, begging for mercy and mercy? Slavery?!”
He quickly turned around, took off the large cloak on the hanger next to him and put it on, straightened out his somewhat messy clothes, and took out the red hat that symbolized the status of the supreme commander of the army from the cabinet, tied it tightly on his waist knife, and strode towards the Step outside the door.
Minte was a little confused: "Hey, where are you going?" As soon as he caught up to the door, he saw Shade and a group of officers standing outside the house, looking at Jada solemnly. Jada nodded solemnly: "Everyone, I will never forget Noga's dignity!"
Most of the people's faces relaxed when they heard this, and two or three of them glanced at their companions uneasily without making a sound.
Jada turned around and smiled at Minte: "Lead the way, I want to see your commander!"
(Your Excellency, Duke Jedda, has finally returned to the right path...Ah, I forgot to mention it again. Please give me more votes. I want both the pink vote and the vote)
