Chapter 968: The Second Wave
Those new beasts that joined the war group were automatically divided into several parts, and the different beast groups lived in "harmony" with each other.
All day of the day, there was not the slightest movement of the beasts.
It wasn't until it got dark that they launched a second wave of attacks.
This time the momentum was even greater, no longer attacking round after round, but a joint attack of several fierce beast groups that cooperated with each other.
For example, when the mutant mammoth hit the city wall, the ground armor lizard crawled to the bottom of the city wall in the cracks, and then drilled out one by one from under their hard scale armor, and began to dig holes and gnaw at the city wall frantically...
Soon, several holes in the walls were breached, and the numerous and small hyenas were desperately burrowing into the holes......
These guys are a mortal threat to ordinary people, but they don't pose much of a threat in front of the bodyguards and defenders of the battlefield.
The greatest threat still comes from the collision of mutant mammoths.
They are so well defended that they are a moving hill, and it would take half an hour to take down one of them even if all the defenders on the walls were to concentrate their fire.
The point is that by the time they come into range, they are already close. Half an hour was enough for them to hit the city wall several times without their lives, coupled with the simultaneous attack of the stone mutant mammoth, soon, several holes appeared in the defense of the first layer of the city wall, and they began to tighten.
Qingu ignored the hyenas and gophers, and directly looked at the mutated mammoth.
She already had the experience of killing, one head after another, and in less than an hour she had managed to finish off the remaining dozen mutant mammoths that attacked.
Without the mammoths that helped the ground lizards and gopher-drilling moles from their arrows, they could not even reach the city under the dense vitality and fell one after another.
The ground carapace lizard and the gopher drill were vulnerable in front of the powerful bodyguards and were quickly killed.
As for the hyena herd, they only have a numerical advantage, but the gaps in the walls can only allow two or three at most to enter at the same time. Happened to be killed by the company's guards or bodyguards, one killed one when they went in, and two were destroyed when they went in.
The beasts that had crept into the city were quickly destroyed, and a "wall" of beast corpses was laid outside the walls of the Wind Castle.
No matter how tightly organized these beasts were, in the face of the meat grinder-like walls, their attacks became slow, and some of them even began to retreat. Those who retreated were directly bitten to death by the fierce beasts that supervised the battle in the rear.
Looking at the corpses of the beasts piled up like a high wall in front of them, they thought, since rushing forward is sending death, and retreating is also death, then run away.
But the result is still the same, the fierce beasts that are supervising the battle in the outer circle will directly kill those who escape.
There's only one way for them – up.
They get even crazier...... But the result is the same, send to death!
As Wind Castle successfully defended itself against the second wave of the beast tide, a shrill howl rang out.
In the night, Qin Gu vaguely saw black "bags" bulging on the horizon, and the "bags" continued to rise and rise, and finally stood like dozens of lighthouses in the black and oppressive group of fierce beasts.
As the "lighthouse"-like beast entered the herd, the tide of beasts that had originally retreated gathered around them again.
Qin Gu felt faintly uneasy in her heart, she was still cleaning up those deadly beasts under the city wall, seeing the vision in the distance, she instinctively felt that it was not good, turned around and ran towards the direction of the city wall, with the help of wind control techniques, a few steps to leap up the city wall, ready to tell the information to everyone.
However, her worries were unfounded, and the people in the watchtower had already noticed this through the binoculars and reported it quickly.
At the moment, they are already readjusting their response.
Qin Gu asked the person next to him, "What kind of monster is this?"
The man's eyes were also fixed on the distance, in fact, it was early in the morning, it was very dark, and even with the stronger eyesight of the guards and bodyguards than ordinary people, only a faint silhouette could be seen.
He didn't look back, his lips trembling, "Yes, yes...... Arthropod ......"
Arthrothicoons?
A little closer, Qin Gu can see completely clearly, this knot beast is the stick monster that has always been super big.
It has a body similar to that of a praying mantis, a triangular head raised high, and four slender nodule feet stand on the ground like four long, thin chopsticks, except for two front paws that look like barbs.
Except for the raised head, the body alone is more than twenty meters tall.
With each step, their long legs can walk tens of meters away.
Each of these arthropods had a basket tied to their backs, which was stuffed with ...... Person?
If Qin Gu is not mistaken, the giant stick monster is actually carrying a human on its back?!
"The orcs are coming, the orcs are coming......"
"Orcs?"
"How can there be orcs here?"
Accompanied by the frightened shouts of the people, everyone's expressions became extremely solemn, and although they instinctively feared, no one flinched, but clenched the weapons in their hands.
Qin Gu was not mistaken, the stick monster was dragging people, orcs.
Qiangu found that these orcs were similar to the "bandits" she had encountered in Wulizhuang before.
They do look exactly like humans, but if you look closely, you can see that they are generally bigger than humans.
The color of the eyes is also different, the entire eyeball is gray or amber, and only the central pupil is black.
Qin Gu frowned slightly, could it be that the robbers he killed before were actually orcs, or a branch of the orcs?
Xiao Z felt that during the mission this time, his data tentacles basically did not stop, and they were constantly exchanging data.
Fortunately, the last time the shopkeeper opened his permission, so he could deduce and retrieve at any time.
However, this is also very amazing for energy consumption, just this hour, he used more than 20,000 yuan of energy to derive alone...... He's already very economical.
Xiao Z: "That's right, the 'bandits' in Wulizhuang before were indeed a branch after combining with humans, and they learned human language, even human lifestyle, and how to communicate with people...... However, no matter how much they resemble "people", their blood does not change their nature of aggression and killing. ”
Qin Gu nodded clearly, I see.
This also explains why those "robbers" treat human beings as food without any sense of "harming them", it turns out that they are not "of the same kind".
Since it is not "of the same kind", it looks like "of the same kind".
They can treat people as food without any scruples, and it is really frustrating for people to know that they are not the same as themselves, but still unable to "cannibalize" regardless of their appearance.
