Chapter 1313 1300. Calling
Outside the gate of the camp, countless ghost-striped red ants tried to break through the thin log fence, and a group of constructed knights stood on the fence, chopping down the climbing ghost-striped red ants one after another.
Constructed knights have the power of the magic pattern of the structure. Basically, each of them has a magic weapon, which can kill the ghost pattern soldier ants without any effort.
It's just that there are too many ghost pattern soldiers rushing up from outside the wall, and the Construct Knights are simply too busy.
Fortunately, there was a row of armed thunder rhinos parked behind the constructed knight, and a group of crossbowmen stood on the shelves, covering the outside of the wall with arrow rain.
From time to time, black powder kegs were thrown out from inside the wall, making continuous cracking sounds.
Suldak was waiting at the gate of the camp with a sword and shield in hand, fully armed.
Andrew, Wolf Knight Tiger, Gullitum, Carrie Decker, and Samira all rushed over. They were wearing magic-weave outfits and stood beside Suldak with weapons in their hands. The ghost-weave soldiers outside The ants kept charging at the gate of the camp, and even the crossbowmen on the watchtower couldn't suppress their charge.
With the sound of 'click', the bolt blocking the camp gate snapped instantly, and the wooden fence gate was completely broken through by the ghost-striped soldier ants outside, and dozens of ghost-striped red ants rushed into the camp in an instant.
Suldak held up the Gothic shield that glowed with holy light, and stood at the front of the team.
At dusk, the holy brilliance on the shield shone on the ghost-striped soldier ant, and a layer of bright silver appeared on the hard armor. The ghost-striped red ant that rushed to the front bit Goethe's shield with its sharp fangs, Sur Dak took the opportunity to stab a sword from behind the shield, and the sharp broadsword pierced its jaw.
Before the corpse of the ghost-patterned soldier ant fell down and hit him, Suldak swung the goethe shield, stepped on the cracked head of the ghost-patterned soldier ant, and slashed at the soldier ant behind with a sharp sword.
Gulitum was covered in frost armor, protecting Suldak's back, swung a big wooden club in his hand, and repelled a group of ghost pattern soldiers attacking from all around.
Andrew and the wolf knight Tiger rushed up from the left and right sides, and the attack was far fiercer than Suldak's. One of the ghost-pattern soldier ants' head was split in half by Andrew with an axe, and the other ghost-pattern soldier ant was cut in half by an axe. Tiger cut off the head with the war blade.
In an instant, five ghost pattern soldier ants were killed at the gate of the camp.
Carrie Decker and Samira stood in the back and fired sniping arrows, and ghost pattern soldier ants fell to the ground constantly. Six second-rank powerhouses stood guard in front of the main gate of the camp, and dozens of ghost pattern soldier ants fell one after another. In front of the gate, no ghost pattern soldier ants could rush in.
This battle team composed of second-rank powerhouses stood guard at the camp gate, like a pinnacle of calming the sea, which immediately increased the momentum of the lord's army in the camp.
Countless heavy armored infantry soldiers rushed towards the battlefield wearing heavy armor.
In the dark worm valley at this moment, the ice and snow melted, and the vegetation revived.
The night fell quietly at this moment, and the sky soon became dark.
Under the crazy attack of ghost pattern soldiers and ants, this military camp has become precarious. There are bursts of prayers from the choir in the camp in the distance, and the tumbling fog of war continues to spread outward, permeating the entire camp. It devoured the ghost pattern soldier ants.
The ghost-patterned soldier ants that entered the fog of war were just confused for a moment, and then they fought on their own indiscriminately. They would actively attack the enemies close to them, instead of continuing to enter the camp according to the queen's order.
At the same time, above the mist, a huge eyeball slowly rose.
The hypnotic ripples continued to release the 'cloud of sleep', and the ghost pattern soldier ants in the mist around the camp began to become drowsy, and some soldier ants even fell silent in place.
Under the fierce attack of ghost-patterned soldiers, the camp, which had become crumbling, gradually recovered.
The lord army is in the fog of war and once again regained the initiative on the battlefield.
Led by Andrew, wolf knights Tiger and Gullitum, the Constructed Knights rushed out of the camp to launch a counterattack.
Signa's eyes turned pure black, and her body exudes radiance. Standing beside Suldak, she looked aloof. She stretched out her little finger and pointed in the direction of the center of the Dark Worm Valley, with a strange tone Said to Suldak:
"Just over there, a powerful existence was born, and the entire valley mutation came about because of this. It should be the residual power left by this dead World Tree that can revive everything in the entire valley in winter."
"I can only help you at night. You have to make a decision before dawn, whether to go or stay... You need to be more careful in your consideration."
"I plan to temporarily withdraw all the lord's army into the cave!" Suldak wiped the blood from his face and said firmly.
…
After an orderly evacuation from the camp all night, at dawn, more than 50,000 lord troops had all retreated to the inner platform of the cave.
Since there was enough time to retreat this time, most of the supplies were moved out by the heavy armored infantry soldiers. The night was replaced by dawn, and the fog of war from the goddess of the night disappeared. He came down and was held firmly in Suldak's arms.
Her body is now like a huge container, only in the dark night can carry the blessing of the Goddess of the Night, she is just a little greedy for the moment before dawn, and wants to keep the fog of war longer, and it is often at this moment that she is attacked Power backfires.
In comparison, the succubus is much smarter, she never does such reluctant things.
Before the fog cleared, Aphrodite drew out a door to the void, holding her slightly protruding belly, and quietly left the battlefield.
The fog of war receded, and more ghost-striped soldier ants appeared around the camp. In addition, dozens of ghost-striped drones charged at the empty camp at the same time. When the ghost-striped drones touched the log wall, the entire log The wall collapsed under the forceful push of the ghost-striped male ants.
Countless ghost pattern soldier ants rushed into the camp.
Dense numbers of ghost-striped flying ants were flying in the sky. From the ledge at the edge of the exit inside the cave, a group of crossbowmen shot arrows down, shooting down the flying ghost-striped flying ants all over the sky one after another...
…
In just one night, it seemed as if spring had entered the Dark Worm Valley, the ice and snow melted, and the green grass sprouted green shoots.
Samera stood on the ledge at the entrance of the cave, looking far away at the giant pods drilled out of a group of giant mushrooms in the center of the valley.
The giant pod-like plant has only a few sparse leaves, and a strong main stem is constantly growing towards the sky. It grows very fast, as if building a ladder towards the sky.
Thunder and lightning kept moving in the clouds, and from time to time there were bursts of roaring.
During the battle between the ghost pattern soldier ants and the lord army, they began to try to fight with their lives.
The ghost-striped ants did not hesitate to use the lives of the ghost-striped soldier ants to reduce the number of soldiers of the lord army. The ghost-striped soldiers ants rushed to the battlefield and would not dodge the attack of the lord army at all. They only wanted to deal damage to the lord army soldiers before they died. In just one morning, nearly a thousand heavy armored infantry soldiers fell on the battlefield.
As a result, the number of ghost pattern soldiers who died was twice that of the heavy armored infantry soldiers, but even with such a battle loss ratio, it was not what Suldak wanted to see.
Suldak had no choice but to dispatch the Constructed Knights to defend the inner platform against the attacking ghost pattern soldiers...
This group of fierce ghost-patterned soldiers climbed up from the cliff, and they had a clear battle goal. Suldak could only call in powerful constructed knights from various lord armies.
Although the exit platform in the cave is not large, the battle here has become extremely difficult. Even with the support of crossbowmen, each lord army has suffered some casualties.
The only thing that made Suldak feel lucky was that the ghost ant queen never showed up.
According to the reminder of the Goddess of the Night, the Ghost Ant Queen is the most threatening existence in this valley. It is a powerful monster whose strength has reached the peak of the sixth order.
The last time Suldak came into contact with the sixth-order monster was the demon king on the Ganbu plane, but at that time, the demon king's head was sealed in the mage tower display warehouse of the Mukuso Magic Union, so the demon king The demon king can't show his full strength.
It is said that for this battle, the ghost ant queen deliberately separated the main body from the hatching room, and the combat power may be much stronger than usual...
This is what Suldak is most worried about.
In the cold winter, the Dark Insect Valley unexpectedly became lush and lush overnight, and everywhere it looked was emerald green.
A large number of ghost pattern soldier ants appeared in the valley, almost all of them gathered towards the lord army.
…
Nika's first aid tent was full of wounded soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment, and even the constructed knights who rarely appeared in the ward also appeared in the ward. This time Suldak also actively participated in the treatment of the wounded soldiers. rescue work.
Nearly a thousand soldier ant heads were used as sacrifices, and almost every wounded person lying on the hospital bed will receive the blessing of God from the "Blessed Body".
The constructed knights on the battlefield also have the two most basic low-level blessings of 'Blessed Body' and 'Shield of Blessing'.
The five second-rank powerhouses around Suldak received two high-level blessings of 'Superior Body' and 'Insight'.
However, what Suldak failed to notice was that at this moment, the bodies of the southern native maids who followed Nika had undergone some obvious changes.
They were originally priests in the temple of the aboriginal tribe in the south of the Bailin plane, but they were captured by the slave hunters, bought by the merchant Malakom, and given to Lord Suldak...
Suldak's understanding of them is only limited to their ability to be close to nature and have a little healing power.
That's why Suldak asked them to follow Nika and set up an emergency medical team in the barracks. Obviously, in the past six months, the medical team's achievements have been very remarkable, and they can basically save Suldak from The first aid tent was liberated.
Only at a critical moment like now, do you need Suldak's power of holy light and blessing of God.
And now at this moment, when the pod-like seedlings of the world tree in the center of the dark worm valley began to grow wildly towards the sky, the seal totems printed on the priests of the natural temple began to emit emerald green light, and at the same time they were in the deepest part of their hearts. The call of the Son of Nature was also heard.
At this moment, the group of indigenous girls in the emergency medical team knelt down almost at the same time, praying towards the call in their hearts...
At this moment, Suldak was still offering high-level sacrifices to the double-faced demon **** in the tent in exchange for the blessings of those high-level gods, and he didn't notice what happened to the emergency medical team at all.
…
At the same time, in the large rainforest in the south of the Bailin Plane, the archdruids of countless aboriginal tribes who believed in nature were also summoned by the Son of Nature, and they left their homes almost without delay. With their bags and wooden weapons in their hands, they came out of the rainforest in a long line from various tribes.
They abandoned the homes they depended on for survival, the livestock they raised, and the fields they cultivated.
These aborigines have always lived a peaceful life here. They believe in the children of nature, and at the same time they have the ability to identify herbs, and they have some formulas for treating diseases with herbs. Their powerful fighting power in the jungle also made Will The lords of X City are very troubled.
For so many years, they have been living in seclusion in the large rainforest in the south, never appearing in front of the imperial people.
For a long time, the lords of Wilkes City even ignored that there was such a group of indigenous tribes in the forest.
Now, tens of thousands of tribal aborigines have walked out of the rainforest. When they marched to the grassland, countless teams gathered into a torrent. The lords of the entire Bailin plane were watching them in fear. After all, this number is too large too much.
This mighty army was even larger than the total population of Wilkes City. They ate the dry food they carried along the way, went north along the river, and took the initiative to avoid Wilkes City. They didn't seem to have the idea of attacking Wilkes City, and the lords in the city breathed a sigh of relief.
Wherever these tribal aborigines pass by, all ranchers will drive their cattle and sheep away when they see this army, and many local aboriginal herdsmen will send the only cattle, sheep and food at home, and some Will also take the initiative to join this huge torrent.
When they didn't show any hostility to the imperial people on the Bailin plane, a business group approached this huge torrent, and then a truckload of grain was brought over to supplement these tribes and aborigines. During the long trek, at least you won't worry about food.
There are also trucks in some caravans that actively pull the old people and children who cannot walk in the team.
Judging from the map, the direction they were heading happened to be the town of Dodan...
According to the information revealed by the aboriginal herdsmen, these aboriginal tribes who came from the south felt the call of nature to them.
It took them almost a month to travel from the southern rainforest to Dodan.
And during this period, in the dark insect valley, the flowers bloomed ahead of schedule in the cold winter, and the seedling of the world tree, which was like a huge pod, finally had the appearance of a big tree, and under the command of the ghost queen ant, the karst cave The battle platform on the inside, which is not too big, has been completely dismantled by the ghost-striped male ants.
During this month, the lord's army encountered the most brutal attack by ghost pattern soldiers.
Because of the limitation of the battlefield, the daily battle scale between the ghost pattern soldiers and the Lord Army is not large. Almost all the soldiers sent by Suldak are constructed knights, so the casualties of the Lord Army have been further reduced a lot...
