Chapter 254: The Swarm Descends
No matter how many people are praying that they will survive or that the swarm will not come, these are in the past. Because, the Grim Reaper has crossed the opposite plain and swarmed.
Under the illumination of the artificial light source, the demon hunter who already has [Shimmer Vision] can clearly see the enemy he is about to face.
Unlike those chaotic monsters that seemed to be randomly pieced together by the creator, although the bugs that appeared in the distance had different appearances, Xu Yichen was sure that these things were all killing machines that had been evolved, eliminated, and screened out after countless years.
The enemy did not appear from a certain direction as expected, but emerged from the direction of the horizon like a tidal wave, with no edge in sight.
The Demon Hunter bets that he sees more than five thousand!
The largest one is a bipedal creature with a somewhat curled stance and two other pairs of arms, one human-like and the other with powerful tearing claws.
The tight muscles and expansive jaw junction allow them to produce amazing bite force.
In the sky, just as the mercenaries had feared before, hundreds of flying insects with carapace swooped the air at high speed with their wings, swooping towards the steel fortress with a 'buzzing' sound!
In the next second, the sky was covered with dazzling lightning.
For a moment, the demon hunter thought he was blind, and all he saw was a glittering white.
Fortunately, the imprint left on the retina by the dazzling glare faded after a few seconds, and the demon hunters didn't know if it was the power of the mage Werther himself, or the power attached to the tower.
Xu Yichen believed that the latter was more likely, otherwise he would not have had a chance to get close to the red-robed mage on the airship before.
As the mage's various spells began to roar, the insects flying in the sky were shot down, shattered, and roasted one by one.
The corpses of some bugs were lucky enough to survive the first blow, and then in a more dense spell attack, they turned into corpses and fell into the interior of the Steel Fortress.
It was a terrible scene, countless charred pieces of flesh mixed with blood poured down on the defenders like a disgusting hailstone.
But the drenched people didn't have time to clean themselves up at all, and more flying bugs broke through the mage's interception.
Five meters to the side of the Demon Hunter, two straight slave soldiers were whistling past by a large dragonfly more than two meters long, cutting off their necks with their wings.
"Archers! Your life has come! The Demon Hunter lowered his head and shouted to the mercenaries under the cover of the walls, "Watch out for the wings of those bugs!" ”
With the sound of a bowstring trembling, the previous large dragonfly was nailed head-on to the city wall by an oversized arrow.
The captain of the archer team took out a large bow of human height from somewhere, and nearly one meter two arrows were densely inserted into the ground in front of him: "Take care of your city wall, we can handle these bugs!" ”
The bare-chested mad cow roared and jumped up from the ground, and used his two-handed axe to split a flying bug in half: "The mad cow is the strongest!" Ah......h
Before the brute could finish pretending, another flying bug with an even larger physique grabbed his thigh in mid-air, flapped its wings, quickly climbed high, and disappeared into the night.
Only a series of screams of the mad cow were left, and the mad cow, as the son of the earth, obviously had no good feelings for the sky.
The Demon Hunter covered his face and turned his head, shouting to the Templars under the walls, armed orcs with a band of slave soldiers, "Abraham! Get your people all squatting! Don't let them just die! ”
The roar of the mage's spells, the sound of the insects flying, and the noisy sound of the mercenaries made Xu Yichen unable to determine whether the other party could hear his voice clearly.
The good news is that the slave soldiers standing guard on the city walls are crouching down and assembling their segmented spears, and the bad news is that the bugs on the ground are finally in the light.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!" The demon hunter shouted as loudly as he could, and the battle had become white-hot since the flying insects, making Xu Yichen a little helpless.
These bugs seem to have consciously used their own flying species to disrupt their formations, and this simple air-ground integrated attack made the demon hunters feel that this task might be more difficult than they imagined.
Although the voice of the Demon Hunter could not be heard throughout the fortress, the players who could receive the text message were the first to respond, causing the other mercenaries to notice the anomaly outside the walls.
Ranger Ji Wanbing was assigned to an arrow tower, and all his attention was on the flying insects flying in the sky, and on the ground, the insect swarm had already surrounded the entire fortress in two ways.
Viewed from the air, Station 370 was like a reef in front of the waves, splitting the sea in two.
Behind the Demon Hunters, the slave soldiers organized a killing field, and they took the mage's tower as the center, and demolished and cleaned up the entire surrounding area.
The area was used as a temporary fortification around the tower, and the remains of the demolished buildings were used as improvised bunkers, and the slave soldiers dug a trench nearly two meters deep outside the walls, and all the earth was used to raise and strengthen the walls.
In this way, when any bug breaks through, the demon hunters have a second line of defense, but judging from the current number of bugs, I'm afraid it's just a drop in the bucket.
"Leave those greenskins alone!" The Demon Hunter shouted to the Templars, "These soldiers need your command!" ”
The insects below were temporarily blocked by the oversized ring of fire released by the mage on the tower, and the huge ring of flame directly enveloped the entire steel fortress.
Although the flames were still some distance from the walls, the Demon Hunters had already begun to feel the temperature of the entire high-speed railway wall rising.
These guys who designed the fortress probably didn't even think about the possibility that the defenders might turn into a teppanyaki.
The Templar Abraham walked up the city wall under the escort of two tall orcs, and the fully armed orcs were quite visually striking!
Like a small steel fortress, the heavy sheet metal armor supported by strong muscles turns these orcs into standard killing machines.
"Seeing them, I think we're a little bit more likely to survive." Abraham patted the strong arm of the strong orc beside him and said.
Then, the huge ring of fire was extinguished, revealing a dense mass of insects outside the city walls.
