Chapter 102: After the Tribulation
Lenia saw that she couldn't completely destroy this tentacle monster in a short period of time, and there was nothing she could do to stop it from causing trouble. On the other hand, Duke's situation was becoming more and more dangerous, so she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
It's just that the more anxious she is, the more the tentacle monster can't do what she wants. Whenever she intended to attack its main body, it hid and pulled around the obstacles around it, stacking annoying barricades. If Lenia clears the barricades, it will unscrupulously throw rocks and trees at Duke to harass them.
This back and forth made Lenia exhausted and unable to achieve any effect, and made her feel unusually aggrieved. In terms of strength, even ten more such monsters are not enough for her to fight, but the other party is too cunning, and this containment is about to make her vomit blood in anger.
Duke, who was organizing a breakout formation, also saw Lenia's predicament from afar, and he was also anxious in his heart.
The anvil in the back formation had already commanded several magic bomb throws, which had a great effect, and it was a good delay in the time when the tide of demonic beasts came over.
But the number of magic bombs is not much, if it continues like this, these people will be devoured alive by these monsters if they are late.
Suddenly, in the anxious waiting and observing, he noticed something unusual, he found that the tentacle monster had to rely on the support of several special tentacles to move relatively quickly every time it moved, and once these tentacles were injured, its movement speed would slow down to an outrageous point.
So an idea quickly crossed his mind.
"Lenia, clear the barricades first, and then cut off this monster's soft feet!"
After reconfirming the situation, Duke yelled at Lenia impatiently.
The monster also seemed to have some remnants of human consciousness, and after hearing Duke's shouts, it actually began to flee behind it, while using other tentacles to protect its main drive package.
Hearing Duke's shouts and seeing him acting like a thief, Lenia immediately confirmed its weakness, and her eyes turned into a fiery red figure like an arrow off the string and slashed at the monster's lower plate.
Since Lenia's strength is so much stronger than that of monsters, no amount of protection it can make in advance.
In the blink of an eye, Lenia easily cut through the layers of mouthparts and slippery tentacles, shattering the innermost few soft feet with a sword.
The monster that had received such a fatal blow wailed, and the soft upper half of its life fell from a great place like a huge leather ball, and rolled on the ground for a long distance before being held back by the tree and no longer moving.
It's just that those soft feet are indeed its lifeblood, and the tentacles that could have regrown quickly have been nowhere to be found, not to mention these deadly soft feet.
As a result, it can only howl in pain under the trees, but to no avail.
Lenia had a chance to run over and make up for another sword that killed him, but the situation on Duke's side was once again a little more dangerous, and some of the dwarves standing in front were carelessly thrown to the ground by several monsters.
Fortunately, they still have well-made armor on their bodies, and the partners around them saw the opportunity quickly and rescued them early, otherwise Duke's team would soon have suffered casualties.
These critical circumstances prompted Lenia to give up the opportunity to replenish the sword, and used her whole body fighting qi to jump into the air, and then condensed all her strength on the tip of the sword and slashed out a slender rainbow light more than ten meters long.
The rainbow swept through the gravel and tree trunks in front of her, opening up a path large enough for three horses to pass through.
Far behind, Duke saw that Lenia had successfully opened the way, and at the same time he was surprised and hurriedly urged the human soldiers who were close to the limit to hurry up and get on their horses, and then let the dwarves carry the magic bomb to the queen.
"Rush with me!"
Seeing that all the human soldiers were already crouched on their horses, and continued to shoot behind him, Duke rushed out first with a wave of his horsewhip as the head of the formation.
The monsters in front of him were either crushed in the head by the soldiers who followed him, or they were kicked to death by the iron hooves of a dozen war horses with the big mouth of the bowl and nailed to the horseshoe, and in a moment the entire horse team crushed a life path full of flesh and wreckage.
Originally, the main thing that stood in front of Duke was the tentacle monster, and the number of demonic beasts was not comparable to the other three sides, and at this time, the monster was still lying under the tree and wailing, unable to block Duke's progress.
Therefore, the whole team moved relatively smoothly, and it didn't take much effort to pass through the passage opened by Lenia one by one, and the dwarves who were broken behind also quickly caught up with their own armor and power boots.
"Anvil, blow up the passage, quick!"
Seeing that the last dwarf and Lenia had also passed through the passage, Duke hurriedly ordered the anvil with the magic bomb on his body to blow up the last passage, making it impossible for the beast tide to rush behind him.
When Anvil heard Duke's shout, he hurriedly picked up the magic bomb hanging on his body while responding to the "right now", and skillfully unscrewed the tabs and threw them at the stone walls on both sides of the passage.
With a few inconsistent roars, the stone walls on both sides of the surrounding area, which had been casually mixed together by tentacle monsters, collapsed again, forming an earthen wall that was almost two people high, isolating the beast tide and the hustle and bustle behind.
"Knot...... It's over. ”
Seeing that the anvil had done everything well and that the beast tide had been isolated, Duke couldn't help but let out a long breath in his heart, and for a moment it seemed that a feeling of detachment surged over his whole body.
Although he did not fully participate in the front-line battle, he was just working hard the whole time, and he was very worried about leaving all the people he had brought here, he was already emaciated.
And the soldiers and dwarves he brought with him were not in any better condition, and at this time, there was no threat, and they all collapsed to the ground, and some even let out a soft snoring sound.
Duke looked up at the sky and found that it was already afternoon, and even the iron men were exhausted from the early morning battle.
Even Lenia, the strongest of the all, was resting on a tree trunk with her sword at this time, and it was obviously unrealistic to rely on troops in such a state to continue the rescue.
"Everyone rest in batches, and we'll leave again in the evening!"
After giving this order, Duke also felt a sense of sleepiness hit him.
