Chapter 286: A Fire
If you look down from the sky, in the gray desert world that stretches the whole field of vision, a circle of roughly ovoid stone walls isolates a precious turquoise forest, like an emerald embedded in the stone.
There are a total of six gaps in the stone wall, and each gap has a large clump of earthy yellow on the outside. They tried to get inside, but they couldn't succeed anyway.
Because on these gaps, there are countless living beings fighting desperately to defend the last pure land in the twisted world.
Under the cold moonlight, it is a battlefield as tragic as hell!
The thick body fluids of the green sand spider have long since made the sand muddy.
A staggering number of limbs and corpses piled up on the ground, forming a slope that reached the city's head. The subsequent sand spider arthropods flew quickly, stepped on the slope, tirelessly surged up, and then rolled down in vain under the sharp blade of the strong bow, turning into a part of the slope together.
The cycle goes on and on, and it doesn't stop for a moment.
Sand spiders are monsters that are actually very cooperative, and have the instinct to restrain their own kind of death. In general, such a number of corpses will not be left on the battlefield.
But today they are depleting so fast that it is too late. Those sand spiders who try to do useless work often do not get close, and even themselves sink into eternal darkness.
The earthy yellow wave hit the embankment again and again, but it could only return again and again in vain.
Under the moonlight, the fight has reached its peak.
The eyes of the archers were as cold as ice, the bowstrings exploded like thunderbolts, and the feathered arrows shot the sand spider people on their backs!
The barbarian warriors had long been bloodthirsty and mad, and countless exhilarating roars gathered together, and even the solid city walls seemed to be shaken!
Even the trolls were ignited with the ferocity hidden in the depths of their bloodlines, howling and crushing the sand spiders into pulp one by one with a one-handed hammer!
Their blood was as hot as magma, and even the cold night was agitated by it!
"Point the bucket!" Lord Lord was calm throughout, warriors can be fanatical, but commanders must be calm.
He pulled Nehru, who was shivering, up and gave him a look.
In this seemingly calm look, there is an extremely deep tyranny. Like a basin of ice water poured on his head, the kobold shaman miraculously overcame the trembling.
There were three rows of oil drums, lit every half hour, so that the defenders could get some respite, but no one expected to create an unexpected surprise.
There are too many sand spider corpses around!
At first, only the oil was burned, but then it was accompanied by mountains of bones. You must know that they have a silk sac in their body, and once ignited, the fire power is extremely pure and stable.
Especially this last time, I don't know how many silk sacs were burned.
The speed at which the fire spread was steady and unstoppable, and the initial wall of flames almost turned into a sea of fire, reflecting half the sky. The surging heat wave spread on all sides, causing the little moss growing on the city wall to quickly wither and yellow.
Blowing on the face, the heat and smoke make it difficult for the eyes and lungs to bear.
"Everyone, retreat!" Richard ordered the soldiers to take shelter for the time being.
Nearly 1,000 people choked and coughed and ran back to the open space behind, all of them disgraced. The fire burned all over the sky, and each of them was so black that they were fighting the bottom of the pot. And Richard didn't have to think about it to know...... He himself will certainly not be an exception.
Originally, it was planned to wait for the fire to subside before fighting back. But depending on the situation, not only will it not subside at all, but it will intensify for a while!
Later, even the lord was trembling in his liver. Such a fire is no longer easy to control, but if you roll out a little bit and a half into the forest behind you, the result will be unimaginable.
Richard flew to the Tyfont gap to take a look, and the situation was very different. There are also a lot of sand spiders killed over there, so it's not weak at all.
The fire lasted a full two hours before it was finally extinguished due to lack of fuel. The valley between the city wall and the Goliath gap was burned to a piece of terracotta.
But all this did not make those monsters give up.
The fierce scorching of the flames made the ground frighteningly hot, and it was not at all something that the fragile sand spider could bear. The first wave of vanguards was burned to death before they even had time to get close to the walls!
But then more sand spiders didn't mind, stepping on the scalded corpses of their kind, and continued to attack or kill with an astonishing indifference and senselessness.
There are enough corpses to finally pave a path of death that can reach the top of the wall.
Although the warriors of Alpine Fort could not understand this, they had no reason to refuse.
The sound of shouting and killing, the sound of sharp blades entering flesh, the sound of bowstrings trembling...... Another piece is loud.
It was tossed and turned until the second half of the night, and even the sand spiders began to vaguely fear the bottomless pit that devoured the lives of many people of the same kind, and the momentum gradually began to thin out and stagnate.
By the time it was over, the sky was almost dark.
"We fought all night?" said Okamako, looking up at the Apocalypse in the sky, grinning with shock on his face.
Although the stars of the New World are completely different from those of the other world, they all happen to have a morning star.
"The nights here are relatively short, probably less than six hours. ”
It was a hard night, but the experience was too rich.
Tiger Spirit and Barbarian recruits were originally generally only at the first or second order, and they required relatively little experience, and they all advanced at least once. Especially the Tiger Spirit, the efficiency of long-range shooting and close-cutting is super high, and some people have even rushed to the fourth-order "Son of the Forest".
The Charr centaur itself is not low-level, not so exaggerated, but everyone has something to gain.
Barbarians and centaur veterans also benefited. Even on the side of the Sgar people, there are nine ground dragoons who have advanced to the top soldier "Sgar Furious Dragon Fury Rider".
As for the trolls, their future is as bright as their current awkwardness.
Richard has long understood that the better the foundation and the more lucrative the promotion, the more terrifying the need for experience will be.
This is easy to understand, whether it is excellence or a large increase, the difficulty is objectively there.
Looking at the overall attribute gap between the "Wild Trolls" and the "Elite Trolls", it is obviously a conscience to say that this improvement is not too big.
Therefore, the lord has already prepared in his heart, and the experience needs of the trolls will definitely be exaggerated.
But reality once again taught him a solid lesson, he never thought that the so-called exaggeration would be exaggerated to this extent!
With that brute force, the sand spiders that the trolls killed tonight would not be much less, even if there were fewer others.
But only six trolls have succeeded in being promoted to "elite trolls"! Considering that this is only the first time to be promoted, it can only be said that there is really no free lunch in the world.
The future is bright, it's just that the road to the future is long, long.
