Chapter 926 912. Retreat
There was chaos on the battlefield by the lake. A large number of members of the adventure group and the mercenary group were chased and killed by a group of ghost pattern soldier ants. Behind them was a giant male ant, rampaging among the crowd. The joint forces of the adventure group and the mercenary group were at the lake A large area was killed or injured.
Suldak fell in front of another giant male ant that came out of the burrow. During the interval of charging, the giant male ant slowly approached Suldak who was lying on the sand.
Seeing that Suldak was about to be poked a hole by the sharp forelimbs of the giant male ant, on the sandy ground under Suldak, black and magic lines spread continuously like vines, and countless phantoms condensed into a Come the door.
Aphrodite jumped out of the void wearing a mithril mask, her magic robe flew into the air, and a pair of nearly transparent insect wings appeared behind her. Hugging Suldak, who was lying dead on the ground, his body fell slightly, and then rushed into the air immediately.
The body almost flew out against the sharp forelimbs of the giant male ant, and the giant male ant roared towards Aphrodite.
Aphrodite rushed towards Samira's Thunder Rhino without looking back.
Lying on the platform of Thunder Rhinoceros, Suldak turned his head and glanced at the giant male ant. The first sentence he said was to the herald next to Samira: "Send my order, the whole army evacuates the camp immediately, give up All the armaments and supplies, quickly pass through the poisonous swamp, and retreat to the iron chain bridge in the mountain! After the armed thunder and rhinoceros are broken..."
The herald heard Suldak say this, his legs went limp, and he almost knelt on the ground.
Being kicked by Samira on the side, he rolled and climbed onto the roof. Facing the others who were rushing towards this side, he armed Thunder Rhino and waved the flag in his hand again and again. The horn of withdrawing troops resounded across the lake.
The allied forces of the adventure group and the mercenary group, which turned into a mess on the shore, wailed. Under the pursuit of the soldier ants pouring out of the wormhole, without any hesitation, they turned around and rushed into the poisonous swamp, desperately fleeing south .
The armed Thunder Rhinoceros standing on the **** had already started to turn around and started to move closer to the camp.
The cavalry left the battlefield one after another, but the ghost pattern soldiers and ants were chasing after them, and the scene became extremely chaotic for a while.
There is still a row of catapults and a row of bed ballista parked on the hillside. The ballista has already pulled all the bowstrings, and the catapult is also ready with explosives. It is only necessary to adjust the throwing angle and ignite the projection.
The tribal warriors who ran out of the camp received the retreat horn before entering the battlefield. Even the leader of the tribe was a little confused. He ran up the **** and saw that the battlefield by the lake had been killed by two huge monsters. The blood flowed like a river, and there were corpses lying in a pool of blood everywhere.
Some of the stumps were still being eaten by ghost pattern soldier ants.
The two-headed ogre holding Andrew was also in the retreating team. Suldak and Samira stood on the platform of Thunder Rhinoceros. A group of cavalry retreated from the battlefield one after another, surrounded them, and headed towards the slope. Running wildly.
There are more and more ghost pattern soldier ants behind, even on the stone bridge, there are a large number of ghost pattern soldier ants.
Eighteen armed Thunder Rhinoceros lined up on the **** to form a flesh and blood city wall. A row of bed crossbows was parked under their feet. Almost all the bed crossbows were aimed at the cumbersome giant male ant chasing behind. More than seventy giant crossbow bolts At the same time, they flew towards the giant monster, and then heard the 'bang bang' sound of ordinary giant crossbow bolts hitting the giant male ant.
Ordinary crossbow bolts bounced off the giant male ant's body, only those precious armor-piercing giant crossbow bolts pierced into its hard armor tremblingly, but the penetration was not deep, and it didn't seem to cause much damage to it .
There is only one giant crossbow bolt inserted into the giant mouth, which looks like it feels abnormal pain.
As for the explosive giant crossbow bolts, they also exploded on the giant male ants.
Standing on the back of the armed Thunder Rhinoceros, Suldak finally let go of his last illusion of being lucky. Facing such two completely indestructible giant male ants, Suldak signaled the troops to quickly withdraw from the Stone Bridge camp.
Retreat into the poisonous swamp, and return to the iron chain bridge along the original road, hoping to block these two behemoths with that natural barrier.
Fortunately, the two behemoths move very slowly in the soft soil, and even climbing this not-so-high soil **** is quite strenuous.
These giant male ants are far less mobile than the armed thunder rhinoceros, and there are bed crossbows and catapults constantly throwing them, which also greatly hinders their pursuit.
The soldier ants that emerged from the bridge and the crypt were more flexible. They chased after the cavalry and began to climb the **** quickly. However, these soldier ants also suffered a lot of casualties under the cover of arrow rain and explosive arrows.
Three thousand indigenous warriors took the lead in retreating into the Poison Swamp.
All the bed ballistas and catapults were discarded on the hillside. In addition to the necessary supplies for the march, the Stone Bridge camp even dropped the tents.
Followed by 500 light-packed archers, but they can still maintain a neat formation at the moment, and seem to maintain a strong will to fight.
Eighteen Thunder Rhinoceros and 500 cavalry guarded at the end, they were least afraid of being entangled by ordinary ghost pattern soldiers.
There were five hundred archers squatting on the thunder rhinoceros. No matter which direction the soldier ants approached from, they would face many archers squatting on the shelves.
The cavalrymen fought with the ghost pattern soldiers and retreated all the way. Because Suldak abandoned a lot of supplies, the team retreated very quickly.
The giant male ants chased after the poisonous swamp, roared at the edge of the poisonous swamp, and rushed into the poisonous swamp without recklessness. It seemed that they also knew that they could easily sink into those bottomless mud pits.
Although they live in burrows, it doesn't mean they won't drown if they fall into a mud pit.
Seeing that the giant male ants did not enter the poisonous swamp, Suldak organized cavalry to wipe out a wave of ghost-striped soldier ants in the poisonous swamp, and rescued the allied forces of the adventure group and the mercenary group...
In this battle, Suldak lost nearly half of his supplies, and 41 first-rank cavalrymen failed to enter the poisonous swamp.
Andrew was seriously injured. Even with Suldak's holy light treatment, he would probably need at least half a month of recuperation.
A lot of people died in the coalition of the adventure group and the mercenary group. Many adventure groups were looking for the surviving members after they escaped from danger.
Suldak took the armed Thunder Rhino out of the poisonous swamp, returned to the temporary camp on the north bank of the chain bridge in the mountain stream, and began to receive the wounded from the adventure group and mercenary group and provide them with basic treatment.
Hearing that Viscount Suldak received all the wounded from the adventure group and mercenary group, the adventure group gathered around the temporary camp on the north bank of the chain bridge.
Looking around, there are gray tents set up here, too many to count...
This time Suldak was also ruthless, and took out all the boxes of primary sacrifices saved from killing the ghost pattern soldiers, which almost filled his treatment room. Just sacrifice a primary sacrifice and pray to the face of the **** for the blessing of the 'Blessed Body'.
Surdak was busy all day and night in that treatment room...
