Chapter 255: Facing the Swarm, or Facing Me
The sight outside the walls made Abraham feel a tingling in his spine.
On the ground, the insects were densely packed, crawling in the direction of the city wall with their bellies against the ground, unconcerned about the charred ones around them.
They were followed by another species of bugs, more than two people tall, with various hand-to-hand combat and jet-type murder weapons on their forelimbs.
They crawled slowly, seemingly unconcerned about their own casualties, their bony joints and carapaces reflecting white light from the artificial light source.
"My Witch King!" The courage of the Templars, who had managed to gather together, collapsed almost instantly: "There is no way we will survive!" ”
The insects, their eyes reflected a little bit of light in the light of artificial light, and those eyes looked like dead things, there was no emotion there, nothing there.
The Demon Hunters are now glad that most of the soldiers in this fortress are slave soldiers with no freedom, and even fear is not under their control.
Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be no one on the walls anymore, just like the mercenaries, who almost instantly gave up their intention to resist.
The archers were trying to snipe the insects that flew under the mage's sweep, when they suddenly saw the progressives jumping down from the city wall one by one, shouting and asking, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”
Without waiting for the first mercenary to speak, a long sword with flames slashed through a long trajectory, splitting the chainmail-clad mercenary in two from top to bottom.
Behind the blood in the sky, the eyes of the demon hunter with white flames were revealed: "Return to your post, or this will be your fate!" ”
In an instant, Xu Yichen chose a lone wolf-type mercenary as the target of punishment, and he hoped that this kind of rout could be resolved within two lives.
"Damn Seris, there must be some ...... between you and that damn mage" Before the mercenary with a sword and shield in hand could finish his sentence, half of his head was cut off by the demon hunter.
The Demon Hunter who turned on the [Red Time] made it impossible for the others to even keep up with their eyes, and no one could see how this Seris had crossed a space of nearly ten meters to kill another person in this chaotic battlefield.
"I said, go back to your post." Xu Yichen's words were cold, glancing at the mercenaries who had already jumped off the city wall, or were about to do so.
Standing on the wall, the Templar Abraham felt that the other man's eyes were the same as those bugs, no, far colder than those bugs!
"Either hold the wall, wait for the bugs' attack to be repulsed, and bet that you can survive!" The voice of the Demon Hunter echoed inside the fortress: "Or, I'll kill you here now, as a coward!" ”
The slain sword and shield mercenary belonged to the largest group, and his friends seemed to be about to rush to it, only to have a crossbow bolt nailed to their feet.
On the ramparts, a taciturn Mancini shot a crossbow from his military crossbow and was methodically loading the second one: "You'd better listen to him, or you'll be bleeding here before the worms eat you!" ”
The leading captain stopped his teammates with his eyes and led the way back to the city wall, knowing that holding this line of defense was the best guarantee that they would survive.
But in the face of the insect tide, everyone subconsciously wanted to escape.
"What do you do Abraham! There's no way we're going to be able to fend off the bugs! Seeing that the mercenary's mood stabilized, the trainee commissar's anger erupted on the trembling Templar.
Abraham trembled and commanded the slave soldiers, using a spear assembled nearly five meters long on the wall to block the insects from approaching the wall.
Another group of slave soldiers aimed their crossbows at the swarm outside the city wall with their crossbows, and these slave soldiers could not aim accurately, so they could only follow the command to fire a volley in one direction.
Fortunately, the current situation does not require aiming at all to kill bugs.
As the long-range fire on the walls erupted, the bugs finally realized that the game of life and death had begun, and no longer approached the walls slowly.
They rose from the grass and rushed straight in the direction of the fortress.
The demon hunter who returned to the city wall, and from a distance, a multi-armed murderous monster swooped down on him with the intention of eating it raw.
He took one last look at the tower behind him, and the mage Werther summoned a fireball that fell from the sky, and the flames of the explosion continued to bloom in the middle of the swarm.
Briefly reflected in the karmic fires of hell, the demon hunter turned around and looked around the fortress, he was a reserve, he needed to pay attention to where the weak points of the defense were.
The density of the bugs was greatly reduced by the mage's spell bombardment, and the fire that the mage burst out in this battle shocked the demon hunters.
Compared to those witches, it's simply the difference between a machine gun and a cannon! Demon hunters originally thought that regular spellcasters, if they were stronger than witches, were not much stronger.
But now, Xu Yichen has made up his mind that when he encounters a mage-type enemy, if he can't kill the other party at the first time, he will hurry up and retreat!
Maybe when this task is completed, you need to face up to your follower Sildo? Roosevelt? The Demon Hunter looked at the tower where the mage was located with shiny eyes, and thought that this thing must be quite valuable!
Although the number of insects outside the city wall is quite huge, the individual strength is not outstanding, and when it does not form a scale, it does not even have a chance to fight back under the city wall, and it is stabbed to death one by one by the fearless slave soldiers with spears at the base of the wall.
However, Xu Yichen knew that these slave soldiers could face dozens of times the enemy without fear, and still calmly maintain their combat effectiveness, but they could not maintain their physical strength.
With the help of the professional mercenaries, the slave soldiers stubbornly held their defenses, despite the fact that some people were dragged out of the city walls from time to time and died tragically.
About fifteen minutes after the swarm began attacking, the bugs broke through the walls for the first time.
When the Demon Hunter was patrolling the eastern end of the south wall, he noticed several bugs climbing the other side of the wall, and an exceptionally large bug was roaring proudly, and he realized that there was no one left on the wall.
"Damn it!" Without thinking about it, the Demon Hunter activated the 'Flash' skill attached to the [Not So Crippled Pendant] and appeared in front of the bug.
