Someone was being chased by the "spider" constantly, and the same scene was repeated. A few minutes later, the woman who had stopped moving suddenly stretched out her arms tremblingly, and supported herself to crawl in a strange posture—her eyes turned white, her expression was stiff, and her knees were not even bleeding when she crawled. However, he crawled straight towards the inner city.
The white "spider" was lying right behind her head, with several thin tubes protruding from her abdomen, all of which were inserted into the woman's skull. Its joint limbs were buckled around the woman's head. At that time, it was like a hat inlaid on her head.
And when she climbed into the inner city, more and more humans—or puppets whose bodies were controlled by the white "spider" rolled their eyes and crawled into the inner city gate with hands and feet like giant cockroaches.
One after another, human beings who had no time to escape were caught up by spiders. Most of them had no time to react, and were pierced through the skull or cervical spine by a needle. When they realized that they could not escape, those who tried to resist picked up their weapons and started to fight back—they did Killed a few "spiders", but was immediately overwhelmed by white shadows coming up from all around...
At the same time, more "spiders" continued to crawl out of the inner city, and it didn't take long for "flying spiders" with flickering wings to appear.
This has completely dealt a devastating blow to the people living in the city: no matter if they are trying to escape or hide, no matter if they are old people, children or strong soldiers, no matter if they are humans or livestock, all living things will find it difficult to resist this attack in the end. Covered by "spider" attacks, all of them were climbed onto their heads and taken away with one needle...
Someone found a closed cavalry helmet in desperation and put it on, but was immediately bitten to death and eaten by countless spiders—obviously, these spiders were controlled by some intelligent life, and when they realized that the target was useless, they Will directly choose to kill.
Soon, in the middle of the night, the nearly 10,000 people in the entire city who could have survived were all killed. The streets are as silent as a cemetery, clean and empty.
But in the inner city, countless gathered human bodies crawled and piled up towards the magic circle. Many people who were crushed below had already been squeezed into patties under the force of dozens of tons, but more figures were still squeezing and climbing without making any cry.
Under the moonlight, the ground of the inner city has been covered with a layer of red blood and "creep". And those crawling figures made this place disgusting like a giant "cockroach nest"—as more and more corpses were added, the tiny red tentacles on the ground grew taller and taller, gradually covering these wriggling figures , so that the smelly pile of corpses was wrapped up, and finally formed a huge towering giant tree made of flesh and blood.
Before dawn, even the sound of birds in the quiet city disappeared, leaving only one voice...
In the middle of the giant tree of flesh and blood that is 30 meters high and over 15 meters in diameter... the heart-like sarcoma made a beating sound like a heart...
"Plop, plop..."
***
In the camp, Sauron stayed up all night.
He didn't dare to sleep, and looked back at the outline of the city in the darkness in the south from time to time, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
Because the weather was clear, they were 60 kilometers away from the city under the moonlight, and they could still vaguely see the edge of Florence City.
But Sauron didn't know what happened in that city. He turned his head and looked at the soldiers he brought, thinking about countermeasures in his heart.
The physical strength of the orcs is extremely strong, and it is not a problem to march for a day at all, but the "auxiliary soldiers" who follow—that is, those humans recruited from the "Fortress of Les"—have an upper limit of physical strength, and they are all tired at this time. Grinding and staggering.
The troops that Sauron hastily withdrew left behind many people in the city of Florence, and now there are 460 orcs and 1,800 "auxiliary soldiers" who came out with him.
These auxiliary soldiers are considered "elite" after careful selection, and their combat effectiveness is much lower than that of the orcs, but they are good logistics troops and "cannon fodder" candidates. Sauron did not treat them as casually as slaves, but formulated strict "military laws" to guarantee their rights and interests, and cultivated these people's sense of class superiority over other humans. From last year to now, the loyalty of these people has obviously increased. It has been greatly improved, and 90% of the "emergency retreat" can actively follow, which already shows that his policy is very effective.
But now Sauron is worried about the whole "strategic direction": After returning to the base camp, should he continue to garrison and develop, or choose to "retreat"
The "Fortress of Les" is already the northernmost point of these kingdoms, and if they retreat, they will have to consider entering the "Glacier Plain" to be next to the barbarians. You must know that before this, he had led the orcs to carry out a "big retreat" with heavy casualties... he survived that winter in the dangerous mountains, and the number of orcs dropped to just over 2,000. He called it a "strategic retreat" It can only be described as "tragedy".
Thanks to Sauron's firm belief, he led his clansmen to win many battles after regaining strength, and now lives a life full of food and clothing.
But he is also in the dilemma of "going from extravagance to frugality"-everyone just had a warm meal, if the enemy has not come over now, and then retreat to the ice field with harsh natural conditions, I am afraid that those warlords will not One would approve of one's own choice.
Although they are loyal enough, the order "retreat" is likely to greatly reduce Sauron's own prestige, thereby shaking his dominance.
So... continue to move east? Can you escape
Sauron sat in front of the bonfire in a daze for the whole night, and when the day was dark, he still couldn't make a next decision.
However, returning to Les Fortress is the current primary goal, and he has no intention of changing it. After eating a few pieces of dry and hard bacon, Sauron got up and prepared to give an order, but suddenly, he turned his head and looked to the side as if feeling something...
With his keen senses, he can see the dwarf who is hundreds of meters away, and some shadows seem to be shaking.
Sauron immediately trembled. He was indeed a bit alarmed right now, and immediately shouted: "Get ready for battle! Hurry up!"
The orcs fought bravely, but their style was rough. They didn't even think about hiding anything. They yelled words like "ready to fight" and "get up quickly", so that the sleeping soldiers quickly got up from the floor.
As soon as such a sound came out, Sauron realized that it was not good, but the orcs were like this, and it was too late to stop it now. He picked up the chain hammer, and before he could issue a follow-up order, he saw a light suddenly glowing in the distance...
