Chapter 256: Swift Worm

Before the bug could try to pierce itself with its razor-sharp mouthparts, the Demon Hunter took the lead and knocked him to the ground.

The razor-sharp sword nearly cut the giant bug in half, and the upper half of the opponent's body still tried to bite his foe, and finally the demon hunter stomped the worm's head in pieces.

The bugs frantically gnawed and scratched at anything in their path, and if it weren't for their coordinated attacks, the Demon Hunter would have sworn that they were completely mindless.

As their presence filled all directions around him, Xu Yichen felt like he had returned to the planet that had been destroyed by famine xenos.

A bug broke through the Demon Hunter's defenses, its sharp mouthparts biting into his shoulder, but it couldn't break through the tough skin.

The sharp claws tore at the demon hunter in vain, and Xu Yichen didn't care about wielding the long sword with his other hand, blocking enemies in other directions.

Soon, these clever over-the-top bugs began dragging the demon hunters outwards with all their might, perhaps that's how the slave soldiers and pros who had been guarding here were wiped out.

A large number of bugs pounced on them from all directions, trying to limit the space for the demon hunters to fight with their bodies.

Fortunately, before Xu Yichen was dragged out of the city wall, a mercenary with a war hammer arrived, he was a member of the sword and shield warriors' team, and his war hammer smashed the insect's body.

Before the demon hunter could thank him, the mercenary who had come to fill his position was already thrown to the ground, and a sharp claw cut off half of his face.

The bug passed over him, tightening its body, ready to leap again, and then its red eyes turned to this side.

The Demon Hunter kicked and severed the joints of its lower limbs, and then, with his sword, sliced open its soft, unprotected abdomen, sending all sorts of debris flowing from it.

The mercenary, who had lost almost half of his head, was wailing on the ground, but Xu Yichen didn't have time to let him rest in peace, and more bugs were swarming towards this breakthrough.

Then the samurai arrived with a group of slave soldiers, stabilized the defensive line, and fought inch by inch, forcing back the worms who had rushed up the wall, until they reached the edge of the high wall.

Xu Yichen saw Vittoria lift a worm up and fall over the outside of the city wall, its claws and tail still writhing as it fell.

Then, Xu Yichen also saw how it stood up again.

Outside the wall was a small hill of their corpses, and one after another, piled up to two-thirds of the height of the high wall, more than three meters, became the siege ladder of those insects.

"Abraham! Use the fireball spell to blast these corpses out from under the wall! The demon hunter roared, dodging a spiky tail that was pumping down his throat.

Xu Yichen saw the female warrior standing on the wall, grabbing her own flail, covered with the pale green blood of insects, and the flail waved left and right, smashing the insects that rushed up one by one from the high wall.

In the direction of the Templars, a flame suddenly appeared, whistling towards the pile of corpses outside the city walls.

Then, something collapsed.

The pile of corpses flew out in the direction of the outside of the wall, scattered on the ground, leaving only pools of blood at the base of the wall.

"Well done!" The Demon Hunter gave a thumbs up in the direction of the Templars and glanced down at the mercenary who had lost his breath.

Sorry man, I can't take care of you right now, you'll have to lie here a little longer.

The bugs retreated briefly, and they left the wall.

But it didn't end there, and another swarm of bugs rushed towards the wall, very fast.

The bugs, which had flea-like hind legs, began to speed up, almost flying over the corpses left by the other bugs before them, and approached the city walls.

The mage Werther and the archers on the tower did their best to shoot them before they could rush to them, but it was only a drop in the bucket, and in the end two or three hundred bugs came under the wall.

"Be careful, it's a Swift Bug! They can jump right in! The Templars hurried out loud.

The Swifts stopped for about half a heartbeat, contracted the powerful muscles of their hind limbs, and then bounced off the walls, leaping over the walls at a height of more than two or three feet, the four deadly knife-like front claws sticking out in front of them!

These insects are not large, about the size of a large dog, but they are very fast! Their claws are very sharp!

Almost instantly, the slave soldiers who reacted a beat slower than normal suffered heavy losses, and there were many holes in the defense line in an instant.

One of the swift worms put its claws through the shoulders of one of the mercenaries, and the sharp claws easily pierced the mercenary's armor, and behind him was a hot female warrior with two scimitars, which was quite eye-catching in the previous battle!

When the Swiftworm launched a surprise attack, the mercenary in front of her blocked the first wave of attacks for her, and at the same time lost time to fight back, and the mercenary who knew that his fate was not long yelled: "Don't forget me! ”

Before the mercenary could react, he grabbed the creature's forelimbs with one hand, grabbed it to his chest, and then used his other arm to squeeze the throat of the other swiftworm that was about to rush over, and then lunged down the wall, taking the two bugs down together.

At the mercenary's terrible roar, a jagged claw swung at the Demon Hunter's thigh, but the Demon Hunter's sword was one step ahead of it, sawing off the forelimb and blasting one of its red glass eyes with its fist.

"Go down the city wall and go to the second line of defense!" The demon hunter dragged a mercenary who had been bitten off half of his arm and jumped off the wall.

Xu Yichen shouted to the archers who had no time to retreat on the arrow tower: "Organize a defense on the spot, form crossfire against the insects that rush in, and cover each other!" Leave the outside out untouched! ”

"Abraham! Get your people down quickly! The Demon Hunter shouted to the Templars, "Let the orcs move freely in the square and kill all the bugs that jump in!" ”

"Mage! We need time to retake the walls! The Demon Hunter shouted in the direction of the Tower, "You must give us five minutes before we finish dealing with these fleas, or say goodbye to your mission!" ”

Although the mage Werther did not answer, the spell shot on the tower suddenly increased a lot, and for a while, the follow-up reinforcements of the bugs were beaten and failed to keep up in time!
