Chapter 1281: Front-and-back flank
The swarm is coming.
Almost as soon as the Pony Knights noticed them, the jungle had become a sea of bugs.
Standing in the forest, as far as the eye can see, you can see the terrifying figure of the black pressure insect swarm in every corner. As the wormholes continue to appear, more and more terrifying insects of all kinds emerge from the ground, almost frantically attacking the blood-dripping spear troops.
For a moment, the entire woodland was filled with a deafening roar of elements, and everywhere was a dazzling aura of flame, frost, and poison when the ring burst...... It's also mixed with the creaking and creaking creepy gnawing of swarms and the shouting of the Pony Knights as they wield their spears and swords......
And the rest is the terrible screams that sounded one after another!
The Knights of the Pony have not experienced the painful and long torment of battle, nor have they not experienced the terrible test of life and death. But when thousands of beetles are not afraid of life and death rush to you, completely drowning you with a huge number, that kind of despair, that kind of torture of ten thousand insects devouring your body, little by little, is by no means something that ordinary people can bear.
In just a quarter of an hour after the start of the battle, seven Demon Horse Knights were trapped in the swarm, becoming a twisted and struggling humanoid pile in the midst of thousands of insects.
The insect witch Biliss didn't seem to have the slightest intention of showing up, and he was still hidden behind the scenes, driving the swarm to attack the Pony Knights frantically. And several captains and leaders with strong individual strength were entangled by dozens of strange insects with different shapes and effects.
Among them are the Demonized Mantis (Tier 1), which is good at stealth and flies extremely fast, and has a huge scythe in front of it, the Void Marauder (Tier 2) who can travel through different planes and has the power of spatial cutting in its attacks, and the Slayer (Tier 3), which has razor-sharp arthrops and an ultra-dense and tough insect shell......
And the one who haunted Broken Face Garo was this kind of terrifying killer of the 3rd order.
They are almost identical in appearance to the black beetles that ravage the forest, except that their bodies are more fluid, their shells are tougher, and their claws are sharper. What's even more terrifying is that they rely on two pairs of two small and four pairs of insect wings behind them to have an extreme flight speed that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
The combination of sharp claws and lightning-fast flight speed also allows them to quickly increase their attack power.
Shattered Face Garo may be able to slash the Void Marauder like a melon and a vegetable, but in the face of this kind of bug-type monster that can cut off demonized steel as thick as a human waist in one or two sections, even he has to be careful and dare not ignore it lightly.
After all, the number of killers entangled around him was as high as five!
The individual strength of a single killer is also at the level of the 3rd Order, and it stands to reason that he should not threaten Garo, who already has the peak strength of the 3rd Order. Unfortunately, bugs fight in a very different way than wizards, so they are much more threatening.
At the very least, wizards don't have the 'nonsense' combat concept of sacrificing their lives to give the other party a ruthless move, and they don't trust their battle partners wholeheartedly.
This also led to the fact that although the Shattered Face Garo, who was at the peak of the 3rd order, was strong enough to crush any 3rd order killer, he never made any gains. Because he didn't dare to pay the price to annihilate these bugs, and the main reason was ...... That terrible worm witch Billis is hiding nearby, waiting for him and the swarm to fight for a lose-lose outcome!
From the beginning of the war, Shattered Face Garo could sense a strange spiritual fluctuation hovering over the swarm, looming and mysterious. A closer look reveals that this spiritual fluctuation does not seem to be a complete and independent spiritual consciousness, but an aggregate of many tiny alien consciousnesses.
It was this strange trait that made Shattered Face Garo unable to find the true hiding location of the worm witch Billis. Or perhaps to put it simply, it is very likely that Bilis, the worm witch, used some kind of secret technique to attach his spiritual consciousness to each individual of the swarm.
In this way, without the so-called ontology, if outsiders want to kill it, I am afraid they can only honestly clean up the entire swarm!
The fighting on both sides was tense and intense......
As if he realized that even if he used the Void Marauder and Slayer, he couldn't help Gallo in the slightest, so the worm witch Bilis immediately changed his attack.
Nearly a hundred Demonized Mantis of the First Order converged from all over the dense forest, and they all flocked to the Shattered Face Garo who stood proudly in the forest and stood high above the fierce magic horse. The five-headed slayer and the thirteen-headed Void Marauders abandoned Shattered Face Garo and targeted the ordinary members of the Blood Lance Force.
The results of a simple tactical switch are also amazing!
The powerful attack power of the five-headed slayer is duly reflected in the ordinary Pony Knight. Where swift phantoms like shadows like the wind flashed, there must be a falling magic horse with a knight's shield piercing.
Once the Pony loses its high mobility, the horseless knight in black armor immediately becomes the target of the siege of the swarm. No matter how hard their swords wielded, no matter how fierce the elemental sorcery they inspired, they still couldn't stop the terrifying swarm of insects that swarmed.
Almost instantly, their bodies were crawling with black-pressed beetles.
From a distance, their area was overwhelmed by the swarm of insects, and it was almost impossible to see their tall and majestic figures anymore.
Click-click-click......
The strange gnawing sound of sore teeth and weak legs continued.
The knight wizard who was devoured by the insect swarm had no chance to escape from the sea of insects, and could only feel the sharp pain coming from his body in the struggle and resistance. The elemental shield was squeezed out, the black armor was bitten open, and countless even smaller insects burrowed into the armor, and even directly into their bodies, digging around between flesh and bones, frantically gnawing ......
In this terrifying and terrifying noise, I silently felt that my flesh, bones, tendons, and organs were gnawed away by insects...... This feeling of despair is not something that everyone has the opportunity to experience.
Most of the knight wizards who fall into the swarm will be driven crazy by this terrible feeling, and blow themselves up in despair when they have no hope of getting out.
Therefore, after the battle heated up, a huge roar sounded from time to time in the turbulent sea of insects, accompanied by countless fishy and pungent insect blood and fragmented insect corpses. As for the knight wizard, the broken corpse could not be found.
A knight wizard is not as good as a formal wizard after all!
To some extent, they are actually just a group of wizard apprentices who have mastered the power of the elements, relying on the witchcraft armor on their bodies, the witchcraft spears and swords in their hands, and special training and training methods, they have the combat power to be comparable to that of official wizards.
But the consequence of mass production is that they do not have the same advanced knowledge as official wizards, nor do they have as many witchcraft tricks as official wizards, and they do not have all kinds of strange life-saving methods.
Such a wizard army is naturally invincible in slaughtering ordinary plane natives, which greatly makes up for the lack of formal wizards. But once they encounter such a terrifying enemy, their chances of escaping are infinitely close to zero.
But fortunately, they are also mass-produced, and the loss is not as heart-wrenching as that of official wizards!
After all, there are so many talents in the wizarding world that they don't have enough talent potential to advance to the elimination of official wizards. If they voluntarily embark on this special path of being transformed and strengthened, they can also enjoy some kind of treatment similar to that of official wizards.
This is actually the most fundamental reason why wizard troops have appeared in large numbers!
It's a remote woodland just over 30 miles from the Swamp of Sorrows, and it's a hidden stronghold where Brokenface Garo leads a blood-dripping spear force to sneak in and prepare for an attack.
Unfortunately, their whereabouts were captured by the Crimson family for some reason, and it was no surprise that they were besieged by the Crimson powerhouse, the Worm Witch Billis.
Single-handedly besiege a powerful force of wizards of the House of Denell......
This kind of thing can only be done by a few strong wizards!
After defending for an hour, seeing that he was outnumbered, Brokenface Garo finally gave the order to retreat. Originally, there were only more than seventy people who were able to successfully withdraw from the dense forest with more than three hundred Demon Horse Knight Wizards, including the two main and deputy leaders of Broken Face Garo and the black-armored strong man Rayse, as well as more than a dozen knight captains of second-order strength.
Such a loss rate is already a fiasco!
However, since the Crimson family was aware of their existence, how could they let them leave at will.
As soon as they left the forest, the sky above the knights' squad was covered by a huge shadow.
The floating giant ship Vacelo had blocked their way.
Knock knock knock......
With a loud tremor, a 3-meter-tall battle weapon fell from the sky. At a height of less than ten meters above the ground, they ignited the buffer rocket under their bodies, smashed the ground into shallow pits like steel gods, and then crawled out with a squeaky metal sound, aiming the muzzles of the black holes at the defeated group of soldiers.
"Those who squat on the ground with their heads in their hands will not be killed!"
"Those who squat on the ground with their heads in their hands do not kill...... The rest of the rebels will be killed!"
A huge mechanical sound echoed over the battlefield, and the magic energy cannon on the chest, shoulder, and hand of the battle magic weapon began to charge rapidly, and countless blue rays began to converge inside the muzzle......
And above the sky, at the bottom of the floating giant ship, a magic energy cannon stretched out also began to charge silently. The gathered magical energy compressed into a huge blue light cluster inside the muzzle, and the energy impregnated inside was terrifying.
And the target of this magic energy cannon is naturally the Broken-faced Garo who still maintains his full combat power!
