CHAPTER XXVII

As the stone palatins swaggered and paced closer, Claudia could see the monster as well.

The Stone Palate Monsters are large, with thick beards and thick, angular muscular arms that seem to be carved out of granite, and in this respect they resemble dwarves, but dwarves do not lean forward like they do, and occasionally bark like animals.

Facing the approaching stone palatines, Lieutenant Ryo quickly explained what she knew:

"The purpose of the stone monsters attacking us seems to be for food, and they eat everything in the fallen city, from gnomes to metal parts to stones, and even the wires in the fallen area are eaten a lot by them."

"We can't estimate the exact number of Stone-Palate Monsters, but most of them are foraging in the tunnels and submerged areas, and these are only a small fraction of them."

……

"A single Palate Mon can usually take on four pygmy soldiers, so we're no match for it, but luckily most of the time they lack a unified command, and once the Palate Mon has suffered enough casualties, they drag their companion's corpse away."

Magni was a little surprised when he heard this: "Take your dead companion away?" I didn't expect this group of savage monsters to be quite righteous. ”

"Uh...... I think you may be mistaken, but according to our research, they should take the corpse with the purpose of eating ....... ”

It's disgusting.

There was a look of disgust on everyone's faces.

Brian at the front smacked even harder, intending to teach this bunch of monsters a lesson, in his opinion, this is not difficult, the strength of the coalition is less than half of the group of dwarf soldiers just now, but the combat effectiveness is several grades higher, and it may not be possible to recover the entire lower layer of Nomorigan, but the defense is definitely more than enough.

By the time Brian's saliva landed, the Palate had already approached a certain distance from the coalition forces, a distance long enough for them to see the enemy clearly, and according to Lieutenant Ryōre's previous description, the Palate Monster would have let out a roar and pounced on the attack.

But in the next moment, the unexpected happened.

None of the Palate Monsters attacked, they all stopped, their eyes bloodshot, and they stared at the dwarves at the front of the coalition, roaring as if they had seen an enemy who did not share the sky, and the roar was full of anger and sadness.

And that's not all.

The angry roar of the stone palatin monster was transmitted far along the closed hall, and the roars in the distance echoed one after another, as if all the stone palatins in the whole of Nomorigen were alarmed.

"It's not the same as it used to be!" Lieutenant Ryotsu opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, "Why are the stone palatins so abnormal today?" ”

After hearing the little dwarf's words, Lao Chen glanced at Brian in awe and said to Magni: "How did this brother of yours do it, and he taunted the entire monster of Nomorigen with a spit. ”

Magni whispered back, "I swear by my beard, he's a bit of an evil guy in this regard, as he was when we went on an expedition with Brian a long time ago, and he was the fastest one to be set on fire by all the monsters every time, so he had to switch to hunter skills......"

Varian didn't care about the whispers of the others, but said to Bright Spring, "Lieutenant, you'd better hurry up and get in touch with the master craftsman and tell him about the latest form here." ”

"Yes, sir!" Bright Spring quickly turned on the radio and reported the special situation, and the master craftsman said that he would support a batch of weapons and some reinforcements as soon as possible.

In addition to the parties present, Cisco Semaprag, who has been paying attention to the underground situation, also noticed this scene and said with great interest:

"Interesting, really interesting, although I don't know how you provoked this group of stone palate fools, but it seems that this group of stone palate fools can use ...... later."

Soon, Cisco came up with a brilliant plan, one that would be enough to save the pesky outsiders and Gerbyn...... from which to go.

"It only takes a little extra and everyone thinks it's a wonderful accident." Cisco said to himself with a smug smile on his face.

Nomorigen Lower Level, City Engine.

Monsters are gathering more and more, and many dwarf soldiers are getting more and more nervous as the monsters increase, they have never faced so many enemies at the same time in the past two months, and the slightest negligence will not even have a corpse left, and will be eaten by the stone palatin.

Thinking of this, some dwarf soldiers instinctively began to tremble in their legs, because they were born with a weak body, so dwarfs generally try to avoid or flee in the face of conflict, and even if they have to fight, they will try to use long-range weapons, and the encounter of having to fight in the past two months is already a nightmare for dwarfs.

Varian noticed the performance of the gnome soldiers, and shook his head in his heart, dispelling the idea of letting the master craftsmen send more reinforcements, this kind of dwarf soldiers is not as many as possible, as long as there are enough gnomes to operate their weapons, this battle still has to rely on dwarves and humans.

Varian glanced at the other members out of the corner of his eye, the gap was very obvious, compared to the pre-battle nervousness of the dwarf soldiers, most of the dwarves were excited, and the humans were even more indifferent, not even superfluous expressions.

Needless to say, dwarves are naturally extremely martial and warlike, and they like to get together to fight and vent their excess energy, so they are naturally not afraid of enemies.

And the human royal knights have participated in several battles in Mount Hyjal, and their indifference is even more normal, you know, in the decisive battle between Mount Hyjal and the demons, the royal knights are facing real bloody battles and tough battles, and the warriors who can survive from the darkness and the hell of the mountain of corpses and blood have long been tempered into the most powerful killing machines, and how can they care about this little scene in front of them.

Oh-!

Once the Palate Monsters had gathered in sufficient numbers, with the roar of a tall Palate Monster, all of them rushed towards them wielding sticks and stone axes at speeds that were not commensurate with their bulky appearance.

"Fire!"

As the Palate Monsters came into range, Lieutenant Ryūre's crisp voice rang out, and the guns of the four batteries began to roar.

Boom boom boom!

Four solid cannonballs blasted out, bringing up four lines of death, and even the strong demon officers couldn't bear it when they were hit by the cannonballs, not to mention the stone palatinal monsters, more than a dozen stone palatinal monsters were hit hard in an instant, or their bodies were blown up like cans of flesh and blood, or they were missing arms and legs, they lost their combat effectiveness, and fell to the ground and roared loudly.

None of the Palate Monsters cared about what happened to their companions, the Stone-Palate Monsters were not a race of fear, they would be very violent as soon as they entered the battle, not to mention that some of the enemies in front of them had already stimulated them and made them completely crazy.

Boom boom boom!

Less than ten seconds later, another round of artillery fire, the original rate of fire of the artillery could not reach such a fast, but the clever gnomes have invented the way of firing the rotary turret in these two months of fighting, and the fixed base of each shot will rotate, and another loaded cannon will be aimed at the enemy, which greatly increases the rate of fire of the artillery in defensive battles.

More than a dozen more Palate Monsters fell to the ground, but the Stone-Palate Monsters were already closer to the coalition forces, and even many soldiers could already see the jagged knots on the shoulders and between the eyebrows, waiting for them to be lined up by dwarves with muskets, their bullets loaded, waiting for the leader's orders.

"Shoot!"

As Magni gave the order, a salvo of muskets rang out, and many of the first-row Palate Monsters fell to the ground as if they had been hit hard by a hammer, and they couldn't get up again, and after two more volleys, the Stone Palate Monsters who rushed to the front row were much more sparse.

Even more dazzling than the dwarves is Segrina, although the flintlock pistols of this era are hugely powerful, but even skilled dwarves can only fire six shots a minute, and the accuracy is worrying, so the killing efficiency is far inferior to the bow and arrow.

Take Segrina, for example, she can shoot at least thirty feather arrows in a minute, and each feather arrow is extremely deadly, and can reach a rate of fifteen arrows in ten seconds in a rapid firing state, even if her fingers and arm muscles can't keep her in a high-speed shooting state, but even if you count the rest time, she can catch up with nearly twenty musketeers with the firepower of a high-level ranger.

The Palate Monsters continued to fall under the attack of cannonballs, muskets, and arrows, but they still charged forward without fear of death, even if the explosion of the mines laid by the gnomes did not make the Palate Monsters hesitate for a moment, the Stone Palate Monsters at the front were now less than five meters away from the Alliance warriors, and more Stone Palate Monsters had filled the empty space of their companions, as if the Stone Palate Monsters had not been reduced at all.

Looks like it's going to be a tough battle.

All the fighters in the front row realized this and raised their weapons in unison.

"For the Alliance!"

The two kings shouted the same battle cry, and the roars of humans and dwarves converged, and they clenched their weapons side by side to meet the stone palatins who pounced, and the shield guards and royal knights followed, and even the dwarven musketeers withdrew their muskets and replaced them with sledgehammers, and rushed forward.

The Confederate soldiers collided with the stone palatins in a swarm.

Call!

The cataclysmic blade in Varian's hand rang out with a cold light and a cracking sound, and the two stone palatins closest to him were instantly dismembered with their weapons and bodies.

Magni slammed down with a hammer, only to hear the air shake and let out a terrible roar, and the stone palatin monster in front of him was smashed in the chest with his hammer, and the corpse flew out, knocking down another stone palatin.

Lao Chen brandished a long-handled weapon, like a whirlwind rushing into the group of stone palatal monsters, from time to time there was a muffled sound of bang, and one by one the stone palatin monsters were smashed by the weapon in his hand and broke their tendons and collapsed to the ground.
