As one of the gathering points for adventurers on the outskirts of the Acala Desert, the town of Mula has a combined population of about 10,000.

But there are actually only about 3,000 professionals and townspeople in the town who have actually experienced the battle.

On average, each person would have to kill dozens of desert marching ants to completely wipe out the monsters.

It's just that those adventurers don't fight hard for the town, and many foreign adventurers choose to flee in the first place.

The size of these marching ants is the size of a fist, and the level is generally between Lv1~Lv5, and their combat effectiveness has skyrocketed under collective combat.

The defense line of the town of Mura is crumbling, and the marching ants are hunting frantically in the town, and countless civilians and warriors are being eaten away.

"How so...... Why do marching ants come here? Shilu turned her head away in fear.

In sight, the corpses of several guards were only half cut in their mouths being swallowed by the marching ants.

"Shilu, is the town of Mura often attacked by monsters?" Chu Yun frowned, it seemed that this town was not suitable for a long-term stay.

Xilu hurriedly explained, "No, this is located on the edge of the desert, and few monsters usually come here. ”

"The Desert Marching Ant is the Grim Reaper of the Akhara Desert, and no grass grows wherever it passes."

"But it's common for humans to place sulfur hedron devices on the outskirts of towns to keep out marching ants and other femme fatales. This method has been effective for nearly 100 years since its discovery. ”

Sulphur hedron has a peculiar pungent smell that is very deadly to marching ants, which rely on their sense of smell to find their way, and can drive them away.

As if they had smelled the human aura on Chu Yun and Xilu's bodies, the marching ants near the town gate split up a team and attacked towards them.

Despite their small size, they are not slow and have a lot of stamina.

"What now?" The chocobo beneath Xilu cooed in fear, as if ready to flee at any moment.

She's just a Lv11 junior magician, and even if her magic can kill individual marching ants in seconds, her magic won't last long.

"The words of the group monsters...... There should be a boss, right? ”

Chu Yun wondered if elite monsters and bosses such as the Queen Ant could bring more natural fragments to him.

“BOSS？ Chu Yun, you're talking about the queen ant, right? ”

"Well, probably. As long as you kill them, these ants will leave. ”

"Do you want to kill the queen? No way! It's too dangerous, and even you won't be able to get out of it. Shilu hurriedly dissuaded.

"It's getting dark now, and if you don't solve the problem of ants, you have to keep going, so it's easier to kill the queen ant."

"You go to the distance first, it's not a problem to dodge the marching ants at the speed of chocobos, I'll go and go back."

After speaking, without waiting for Xilu to react, Chu Yun turned over and rushed towards the town.

The marching ants that had just broken up and rushed towards this side in a small team had suffered, and the thunder-based magic spear in Chu Yun's hand erupted into terrifying thunder under the infusion of his huge magical power.

"Get out of the way!"

Chu Yun's speed was as fast as thunder, and the marching ant team was pierced by him, and after the lightning struck the marching ants, it began to jump and spread towards the other marching ants.

This team, which consisted of nearly a thousand marching ants, instantly emitted an enticing burnt fragrance, and Chu Yun felt that his stomach was a little hungry.

"What a powerful magic!" Shilu's eyes were blinded.

This weapon can channel the energy inside the thunder attribute crystal nucleus to carry out attribute attacks, but the effect is very different for different people.

In the hands of the cavalry captain, the weapon could only make the thunder light jump at the tip of the spear, but in Chu Yun's hands, it could burst out with powerful power in an instant.

However, there is a downside to this, the crystal nucleus embedded in this spear is already a little dim, and it seems that the energy is used too much.

The reason why Chu Yun went on a killing spree was actually to solve the hidden danger of this team of marching ants so that Xilu would not be besieged.

Xilu also saw what Chu Yun meant, and her heart became grateful again.

After solving the trouble, Chu Yun did not use the magic weapon to attack again, but stepped on the marching ant and quickly advanced towards the interior of the town.

There are three lines of defense in the town.

The first was the fence and gate, which had collapsed by this time.

Even if it doesn't collapse, it's easy for ants to climb over.

The second line of defense is a human wall composed of guards, which is still supported but has been broken through in many places, and has existed in name only.

The last line of defense was outside the town's church, where those who had not been able to escape before the siege had gathered for refuge.

The knights of the Church have full body armor, and the marching ants cannot break through the defenses.

At this time, they held the entrance and held their positions and killed many monsters.

The pastor behind him uses healing techniques to help the injured and sick, and at the same time leads the people to pray and soothe people's hearts.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and more and more marching ants crawled towards the church, and one of the huge red ants made them even more frightened.

The crimson marching ant is the queen, which is more than 5 meters long.

She was accompanied by ten elite soldier ants with hard carapaces, slightly smaller but 2 meters long.

At this time, the queen ant was opening its bloody mouth and emitting a fiery breath, and a huge fireball began to gradually form.

"It's not good, it's a fire blast technique, quickly bless the knight with a magic shield!"

The Knight's Armor is a good barrier to the attacks of ordinary marching ants, but it is not very resistant to magical attacks.

Especially with a spell like Burst Flame, the heat alone is enough to seriously injure the knight.

"Oops, I've run out of magic." The pastor was sweating profusely but could not do anything.

The priest of the church has been in the town for many years and has little combat experience, so it is not time to treat the wounded and sick, but to concentrate on the knights who are fighting on the front line.

The queen ant didn't wait for them to regain their magic, and a flame burst of about half a meter flew towards the knight stationed at the church gate.

The terrifying heat of the fireball distorted the air like a small sun about to set.

Not only that, but those elite soldier ants also have the ability to cast magic.

Ten basketball-sized fireballs followed, trying to crush the defense in one fell swoop.

The knights hurriedly raised their shields and stepped forward to block the attack.

"Boom!"

The flames exploded like missiles, and one knight was even blown out of town.

The sturdy iron shield was blasted into countless fragments and shot out, causing secondary damage, and the door of the church was suddenly in chaos.

The marching ants took advantage of the weakness and flocked to the church breach from all directions.

Screams, wails, and cries mingled, and the last of the towns of Mura were about to be lost.

However, this was only the beginning, and the queen condensed an even larger fireball of flames once again.

Once this fireball is unleashed, the human defenses will be completely disintegrated.

The crowd no longer had the courage to resist, and now they could only wait here for death.

However, just as the queen ant was about to release the second flame blaster, a thunderbolt pierced the night sky.
