The soldiers also reacted at this moment. When it was too late to turn the muzzle of another machine gun, they directly took off the revolver rifle behind and fired.
The long sword inserted into the monster became the best marker, and within ten steps, the revolver gun was almost impossible to miss. The officers and soldiers, including Brian, shot out all the bullets in one go, and the dense barrage swept over Edith's head. She could even hear the hissing sound of the bullet cutting through the air.
Looking back, the twisted air became solidified, and a monster emerged from the void. When standing, it approached six feet, and was half taller than an adult. In addition to having a pair of forelimbs as sharp as a scythe, it also had seven or eight pairs of auxiliary feet on its abdomen. Creepy. Fortunately, the armor could not withstand the close-up shot of the gun. Its slender head like a locust was broken with a fist-sized gap, and after twitching twice, it fell to the ground covered in blood.
"Get out of the way!" A loud roar suddenly came from behind Edith.
An epee came in response, with a strong humming sound, the sword body smashed directly in front of the position of the first machine gun squad, knocking out the other two monsters, and the invisible ripples also dissipated.
Then several God Punishment Witches crossed her side and slashed horizontally with their swords, dividing the monster that had not had time to get up.
"Reinforcements are here." Edith, realizing this, breathed a sigh of relief.
The number of enemies is not large, and without the advantage of invisibility, they were quickly cut into pieces by the extraordinary warriors who rushed up.
And she noticed that when the monster approached the God's Punishment Witch, it would take on a strange shape, such as half hiding in nothingness, and half being forced to show its original shape, as if the ability to hide whereabouts had failed.
"Are you alright?" Maggie helped Edith up, "We saw these enemies in the rock wall, but unfortunately it was still a step behind."
"Using colorful magic stones?"
"That's right," another tall man walked up to her, "Leave this to us, mortal weapons are not good at dealing with this kind of situation, you go and notify the people above, and by the way, bring some divine punishment. The witch comes down."
Edith remembered that her name seemed to be Betty, "Can you break each other's disguise?"
"A technique similar to God's Stone of Retaliation," the man shrugged. "At present, it can only make the enemy's invisibility temporarily invalid."
"But they also carry the Stone of God's Retaliation, why can't they see the enemy..." Brian asked with gnashing teeth as he looked at the corpses of the three soldiers on the ground.
"It's not surprising," Betty replied calmly, "light, distance, and attention will affect the results of observation, the normal quality of the stone, the influence range is only about one or two steps, the time the enemy is exposed is only in the blink of an eye, in the In such a dim environment, it is normal to not be able to see.”
Edith couldn't help sighing. Indeed, I noticed just now that the half shape of the sickle monster was mostly due to the competition between the two sides. In addition to the length of the enemy's forelimbs and the advantage of sneak attacks, it was basically too late for ordinary people to find something wrong. . Unless the god stone is buried in advance, the First Army really has no way to take this kind of enemy.
"Damn it!" Brian shook his fist fiercely, "I should have sent the barbed wire down first!"
"Go back quickly, I always feel that something may have happened in the cave," Betty urged again. "That strange cry just now seemed to disturb the entire snow-capped mountain."
"You heard that too?" Edith asked in surprise.
"We lost most of our sense of touch, so our eyesight and hearing have become extraordinarily sharp..." The other party looked at her a few times before opening his mouth. "I didn't expect mortals to be able to do this."
Sure enough, it wasn't her hallucination before... Edith nodded, took off the Stone of God's Punishment and threw it next to the machine gun, pulled Brian and others to surround Maggie, sank into the ground with the Magic Ark, and then climbed up the stone wall. rising. Although the Musketeer battalion commander was somewhat reluctant to hand over the first-line battlefield to the Taquila Witch, he ultimately followed the overall situation. After all, once the God's Punishment Witch and the enemy were fighting together, they would never be able to open fire on their allies.
The people stationed on the Black Rock Tower obviously did not know the battle at the bottom of the cave, and they were still using ropes to lower tents, sacred stones, guns and ammunition and other combat-ready materials. After Brian stopped everyone, he did not transfer to the steam elevator to return to the cave, but let Maggie continue to move forward.
Just as everyone was about to arrive at the worm passage, there was a sudden burst of gunfire above their heads, the intensity of which was like a storm! This means that the first army in the checkpoint has not kept its hands, but has directly entered a state of full firepower!
The faces of the group couldn't help but change, and the witch even blushed, making the ascent a little faster.
After the magic ark rushed out of the ground, Edith couldn't help widening her eyes.
I saw that the stumps and organs were constantly falling from the top of the cave, like a rain of corpses. The three machine gun squads lined up and shot at the dark roof of the cave under the command of Sylvie; The revolver and precision shooting teams are specialized in dealing with dead spots above the head. There is no need to aim at the enemy, just erect the barrel and fire along the wall of the hole.
"What is the enemy?" Brian asked as he grabbed a soldier.
"It's an evil beast, my lord!" the soldiers reported while they were busy loading ammunition. "A group of evil beasts came down from the snowy mountain!"
"Damn it! How could they suddenly join in the fun at this time!"
A thought suddenly flashed through Edith's mind.
Was that dull humming to summon its own kind
She had read in the books written by His Majesty that there is a kind of peculiar sound in this world, which is hard to be heard by the human ear, but it is particularly clear to some creatures, and even some species can make this kind of sound, Is it possible that this is what they are experiencing now
However, there was more than one unexpected news. Just as Brian was watching the battle, another soldier ran into the cave, "Sir, Miss Maisie found that the demonic beasts in the east of the Hidden Forest have signs of abnormal activity. They seem to be moving. Move closer to Snow Mountain, instead of attacking Neverwinter as expected!"
"What? This" the battalion commander of the musket was stunned for a moment.
"My lord?" the soldier asked eagerly. "What should we do?"
"How can this happen... how can this happen..." Brian murmured a sentence repeatedly with a livid face, and fine sweat was already on his forehead.
This guy is still too inexperienced, Edith frowned, as a commander, she can't show her confusion and helplessness at any time, especially in front of her subordinates.
She coughed twice, "It's not complicated, first of all we need to gather up the first army stationed outside the snow-capped mountains and focus on the defense of the cave, which can greatly reduce the length of the front line, and only need a few machine guns to contain the evil beasts. impact."
Brian looked at her, and it took a while before he came back to his senses, "Say... that's true."
"Secondly, ask Miss Maisie to contact His Majesty Roland immediately and ask him to send reinforcements, just in case, after all, our ammunition and food need to be supplied by the Chishui River. Once we abandon the camp and stick to the passage, we will not be able to fight for a long time." Edith Kuai Without confusion, he continued, "In addition, the evil beasts don't have the ability to swim, so don't abandon the few cement boats outside. Leaving a dozen people can not only contain the evil beasts, but also guide the follow-up personnel."
"The evil beast at the top of the cave has Miss Sylvie responsible for guiding the firepower to block it, which is not a big problem; as for the allotted divine stone, you can temporarily not wear it on your body, but bury it around the checkpoint to prevent sneak attacks. Finally, don't forget to send the tower to the bottom of the cave. Witch Qiraji, Betty is still waiting for our reinforcements, and only when there are enough of them can they set off towards the southern end of the river and find Miss Agatha and others." Her voice was calm and steady, making the people around her gradually calm down. Come down, "The faster this step, the better. If I guessed correctly, the place where the strange sound came from is the key to solving the problem."
Brian took a deep breath, "I understand, just do as you say."
