Under the vast grassland is an unknown range of ant nests, and the number of ants is absolutely uncountable, as the man with the bow said, when there is a target, the ants piled up are as terrifying as the sand tide.

The ant nest is a very small microcosm of human society, just like the comparison between ordinary people and those with mental ability, among the many ants of ordinary rank, there are ant queens who command all ants, and there are also xenomorphic ants who are equivalent to the identity of those who can read them.

Ordinary ants will not actively enter the royal city, but xenomorphic ants with higher threat levels will actively invade the royal city and attack visible life.

The reason why the fence is set up in the habitat is to prevent the invasion of xenomorph ants, and xenomorph ants are an important source of meat for humans in the area.

The bell rang to remind everyone in the residence that there was an invasion of foreign enemies, and Sa Ling thought that it was a xenomorph ant who came to the door to send people's heads, but this time it was not a xenomorph ant, but a murderous army of sand thieves.

They came in from the east mountain road, while the sand pirates came in from the west mountain road, in different directions.

When Law entered, he counted the number of members in charge of guarding the east side, and then counted the people in the residence, and came to the conclusion that there were nearly four hundred.

In fact, in the other three directions, there are teams of 50 people, that is, the estimated number of people will be increased by about 150.

The sand thieves came from the west of the grassland, and the team was huge, causing a lot of movement, but for some reason, the soldiers in the ant nest did not react to the arrival of the sand thieves.

Never attacks people who come in, but will actively attack people who want to get out.

This pattern of behavior is something that everyone in the area still does not understand.

The army of sand thieves successfully passed through the grassland and came to the open space outside the imperial capital, and the huge momentum was immediately noticed by the residents in charge of vigilance, and at the same time, they were shocked and passed the news back as soon as possible.

In the next five minutes, most of the members of the cordon in charge of the western direction were surrounded and suppressed by the sand bandits, and blood was immediately splattered on the spot, turning into corpses that had been hacked to death with random knives.

With so many dozens of people, it was not enough for this group of bloodthirsty sand thieves to share the food, and when they swarmed up, they were stunned by the impact of chopping the target into meat sauce.

"There are living people in the restricted area. ”

Geralt stepped on a bloody corpse and looked at the shredded beast garment, a little surprised.

He glanced at the fifty captives who were firmly controlled, which were originally cannon fodder used to test the grassland, but there was nothing to do along the way, as for whether this group of cannon fodder remained, it was worth considering.

Noticing Geralt's cold gaze, the captives who had been encircled in a heap trembled suddenly.

"I don't know if it's useful. ”

Geralt muttered to himself, and a mere change of thought pulled back the captives who were about to fall into hell.

"Kill the people inside first, and leave no one behind!"

Geralt gave the order to the sand thieves, and with that, he raised his foot and stomped the corpse's head to pieces, bone shards and blood splattered on his legs and stomachs, revealing a cruel aura.

"Do you understand?" said Geralt indifferently.

"Understood!"

The sand thieves raised their weapons, roared, and poured into the city.

Miria shrank in the crowd, her eyebrows lowered and she looked down at the ground, gritting her teeth as she didn't dare to look at Geralt easily.

The cruelty of the sand thieves has reached a level beyond human nature.

"Who can come and destroy this bunch of beasts!"

Miria groaned in her heart, perhaps the voice of the other captives.

It's just that everyone knows that this is extremely unrealistic, and even the three oasis countries together can't eradicate the sand pirates, so what other way can they eradicate the sand pirates?

If there is, then only divine punishment remains...

A sense of despair welled up in Miria's heart, she had been lucky enough to survive with the sand pirates all the way, but she knew that sooner or later she would die at the hands of these beasts.

Now, the surviving humans in the ancient city of the imperial capital may not be able to escape the poisonous hands of the sand thieves.

Inside the city, all the guards scattered in all directions withdrew and gathered into the residence, and every man with a weapon was like a great enemy.

"The old man, the woman, and the child are all running east, quick, fast!"

The bow-wielding man seemed to use all his strength to shout, and many bruises erupted on his face and neck.

The old and weak women and children in the dwelling obeyed the command and fled in a group in the direction of the east, while the remaining men took up arms and laid a line of defense in the direction of the west.

"The number of enemies is very large, and the methods are extremely cruel, it is the style of sand thieves!" The man with the bow glanced at Ali and his party with anger in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You must also join the battle, if you can't resist it, everyone will have to follow the funeral." ”

After speaking, he didn't give Ali a chance to ask at all, brought a sufficient amount of bows and arrows, and went to the roof of a house.

"Sand Pirates!?"

Ali's heart trembled, why did the sand thieves appear here, and there were so many of them?

There are many questions, and I can only swallow them before I have time to ask.

Ali gritted his teeth, picked up his spear, and said to the Eagle Regiment, "Follow them." ”

"Yes!"

Resisting the chill that was running around their bodies, they followed Ali up to the roof of the house, hid in the same place as the people who lived there, and got their longbows and arrows.

Taking advantage of the geographical advantage, first using the longbow to apply long-range attrition to reduce the enemy's strength as much as possible, is a common method of warfare.

The Eagle Regiment followed and joined the team, and it was naturally impossible for them to sit idly by, and the people in the cohabitation area were ambushed together.

Not long after, the sound of the sand thieves marching first reached everyone's ears, and then, the black pressure that appeared made everyone in the Eagle Regiment suddenly look dead.

How can such an exaggerated number of people be resisted, just rely on their hundreds of people?

Everyone in the Eagle Regiment, including Ali, immediately lost their will to fight when they saw the number of sand pirates.

They were well aware of the horrors of the sand pirates, not only in their cruel style, but also in their combat prowess comparable to the King's elite army.

The eagles lost their fighting spirit, and the people who lived in the area would not give up in order to survive, they raised their bows one after another, and when the sand thieves entered the attack range, a rain of arrows flew out of the shadow of the building almost at the same time, covering the sand thieves who rushed ahead.

Snort!

In one shot, more than 200 sand thieves were directly killed by arrows, but the sand thieves were not vegetarians, and they were like a big net spread out.

The people of the area fired another rain of arrows, but this time the effect was not satisfactory, and only fifty or sixty people were lost to the sand bandits.

"Damn. ”

Seeing this, the bow-wielding man's heart was suddenly enveloped in shadows.

In order to deal with the invading alien ants, everyone has practiced superb archery skills, because only long-range attacks can minimize the loss rate of personnel.

However, this group of sand thieves is even more difficult than the alien ants, and the combat power of the individuals is not weak, and the difference in numbers is so obvious, can they really resist it?

Whether they can resist it or not, they have to fight to protect those behind them.

After several waves of arrows, the fighters in the area immediately changed positions and started guerrilla warfare, however, the difference in numbers was too obvious, and after several rounds of fighting, they were finally covered by the large net woven by the sand thieves.

The encirclement slowly shrank, and the combatants in the area began to suffer casualties, and gradually entered the situation of fighting the trapped beasts.

Ten minutes later, the team of 400 people was directly reduced by half, and each corpse was trampled to debris without exception, showing the tyrannical mood of the sand pirates.

The battle circle has been tightened, and the means of long-range attacks have been restricted, so they can only switch to melee combat.

At this time, William, Ge'er, and Buhara joined the battle and killed all the sand thieves, but there were so many sand thieves that the people who lived in the area would die under the swords every moment.

If this continues, even if Buhara is a telepath, it is estimated that they will be worn to death by the sand thieves.

Even they had a feeling of being in danger, and the people of the Habitat and the Eagle Regiment were in a dead situation.

When Geralt arrived at the war circle with the remaining sand thieves and captives, there were only a hundred people left in the settlement.

He stood on the periphery of the battle circle, looking at the three of Buhara, his eyes were gloomy, and he secretly ordered dozens of cronies who also knew how to read to contain them, so that the other sand thieves could kill the other people as soon as possible.

With his order, dozens of people with mental abilities besieged the three of them, and the situation completely turned to the side, and the people in the place were torn open at once, and if this continued, it would not take a minute for everyone to die.

At this moment, a wave of telekinesis came from not far away, and a blood hole appeared in the heads of more than a dozen sand thieves who were besieging and killing the people in the area, and they fell to the ground on the spot.

Immediately after, a figure suddenly descended from the sky towards the location of the person who lived there.

Call!

Without the slightest movement, the sand thieves flew backwards one after another, immediately freeing up several times the space in the encirclement.

That figure, however, showed a faster speed than Saling, so that Luo came first.

The aura infused with thought suddenly emanated from Luo's body, sweeping towards the surrounding sand thieves with more than two thousand people.

For a moment, the sand thieves actually paused, and when they looked at Luo, fear flashed in their eyes, but their reaction was not deep, after all, this group of sand thieves were all mentally tough, even when the evil ghosts came to them, they also slashed them with a knife.

The aura didn't have much effect, but it made almost all the sand thieves notice Luo's existence.

Geralt looked at Luo who suddenly appeared and wantonly released his mental power, his brows furrowed slightly, and his characteristic appearance directly reminded him of the man who could control the quicksand described by his subordinates before.

"Is it the same person?"

Geralt stared at him, seven or eight points of certainty.

He stomped on the rock ground under his feet, and suddenly sneered silently.

If this was a desert, he really had to weigh the threat of Xia Luo, but under this imperial capital, there was a layer of hard rock, even if Luo could control the quicksand, he would not be able to use it here.

Moreover, the people he brought with him were not just a few hundred.
