Chapter 163: Divine Punishment
Frankly speaking, the sudden arrival of the beast tide is no less than a catastrophe for the boring station. Luckily, there is a strong warrior like Mario to take the lead, luck, there is an organizational talent like Qingge, luck, there is a flickering talent like hip-hop, luck, and the elite knights behind Amanda to press the formation.
There are too many coincidences, too many accidents, but they come together as if they are inevitable results. Where blessings and misfortunes lie in place, and where misfortunes and blessings rely, no one can say which is better or worse. For the beast tide, why is it not in a hurry? Originally, the large-scale beast tide would come in late winter and early spring, and that was the best time for the demonic beasts to go weak and stay strong, because at that time, most of the demonic beasts had been baptized by the crimson moon, and those who could survive the beast tide were all demonic beasts with outstanding bloodline talents. And humans? Hehe, for Warcraft, it's just food, and the beast tide is not only to remove the weak and stay strong, but also to drive Warcraft to go out hunting for food.
For the powerful Temple of Light, maybe the dragons will give some face, and for the humans of the mercenary empire, the dragons just treat them as food for the doorstep. Similarly, year after year, the mercenary empire has also created a brave and fierce style, as long as it is not deliberately sent to death as cannon fodder, no one will be cowardly, and no one will retreat. If you retreat, it may be your family who will die, and if you rush forward, there is at least one hope.
Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering roar on the other side of the river, and the beasts immediately rioted, the tall and strong monsters rushed forward with heavy steps, and the short and sharp movements of the monsters swam beside the huge monsters, and they all rushed to the pontoon bridge less than ten meters wide that connected the south bank of the Calvin River in Tucheng.
"Hunter ready, throw!"
Qing Ge did not issue a detailed battle order to the mercenaries who were temporarily huddled, and he didn't even point to them, leaving them to play on their own, it was obvious that a hundred hunters would have a hundred targets, and the rain of arrows, which was not dense enough, suddenly sparsely drew an arc and threw it into the group of demonic beasts. However, at least, these are mercenaries with a lot of combat experience, and they are not too outrageous to shoot,
The large demonic beasts were almost accelerating against the rain of arrows, and only a few small demonic beasts that were blocked by the large demonic beasts were shot to the ground, and then they were trampled mercilessly by the beasts behind them.
In the mercenary camp, only the hunters were throwing wave after wave, and the others were waiting for Qingge's command. No one doubted Qingge's status in the Boring Mercenary Regiment, because on the earthen city wall behind her, Sophie's shining knight's armor was particularly eye-catching, like a warlord general, exuding a murderous aura. Many mercenaries with active brains have already guessed that this is not so much a city defense activity by the boring mercenary group as a boring mercenary group requesting mercenaries, but a selection and elimination held out boringly, because Qingge said very clearly, the weak go, and the strong live.
The speed of the beast tide is very fast, that is, the four waves are thrown over, and the beast tide has already rushed to the north bank, and at this moment, the fast demonic beast suddenly broke out, and a small group of demonic beasts suddenly came out and grabbed the pontoon, and the speed was staggering.
"Annie, Mage Regiment." Qingge's voice did not have a trace of warmth, Qingge at this moment seemed to be a different person, and there was only the battlefield in his eyes.
"Burst the fireball, aim for the pontoon and fire!" The order was such an order, and the mage group was only five or six people, including Anne, because mages were so rare. But just as Anne finished speaking, the explosive and outstanding fire spell that this ordinary mage needed to chant to cast was thrown out of Anne's hand and shot out.
The blazing fireball, faintly rumbling, exploded in the middle of the pontoon bridge with a bang, and the pontoon bridge was suddenly blown into two pieces at once, and the extremely fast monster couldn't contain its feet and fell like a dumpling. A few seconds later, a burst of fireballs came belatedly, and in the absence of precise command, these bursting fireballs were almost spread out along the pontoon bridge, and on the bridge and in the water, the monsters roared continuously.
The Calvin River is wide and turbulent, but it is precisely here in Tucheng that a zigzag detour is formed, which also creates the geographical location of Tucheng's protrusion. And this zigzag seems to be like a steel knife inserted into the Warcraft Mountain Range, but if there is a choice, the mercenary empire would rather give up this advantage, because, due to the problem of the direction of the river, although it has become wider, the water flow has become slower, and a large amount of sediment deposition has caused the river channel to become shallow, which is the best place for Warcraft to cross the river.
The huge monster, puff puff puff directly waded through the river and began to cross the river, the river water more than one person deep, just touched the belly of the monster, and the small monster, some began to swim, and some simply jumped on the back of the giant monster and followed the river.
"Hunter, flat shot. Mages are free to play. "Qingge can only command the hunters now, as for the mages, one is because of the small number of people, and the other is because the strength is uneven, and the spells learned are also varied, and it is difficult to command them in a unified manner.
The melee mercenary suddenly squatted on the ground under Qing Ge's order, and the hunter put his bow on the arrow, and shot the arrow as much as possible at the small monsters that jumped on the back of the giant monster to cross the river, because the arrows had no actual lethality to the giant monster, and the monster that swam across was almost level with the water, and the angle of flat fire was difficult to master.
At this time, Anne's hands were slowly spread, and a two-meter-long staff appeared in her palm out of thin air, and Anne knelt on one knee with the staff, and the melodious and ethereal chanting sound actually overwhelmed all the noise and echoed in the air.
"O goddess of light, walking in heaven, forgive the sins of the world, once again send the light on this filthy land, and save your faithful believers with your love......"
Anne's chant became more and more rapid, and the tone became higher and higher, until at last, even the sky faintly resonated, as if countless people were praying at the same time for the forgiveness of the goddess of light, and the sky suddenly brightened, even in the sun, the holy white light was so unique, so eye-catching.
"Divine punishment!"
There was a buzz, and there was only a sigh in everyone's ears that seemed to come from heaven, which was so pleasant, so kind, that people had an urge to worship. All the knights, including Amanda, put their hands on their chests and bowed their heads humbly.
A curtain of light hung down and landed in the center of the river, and then it was like two sides unfolding, and the demonic beast desperately rushed towards the south bank of the river in horror, but at this moment, as if time had become slowed down, even the fastest demonic beast had become slow motion.
Countless demonic beasts struggling in the river, white smoke rose from their bodies, and the demonic beasts struggled in pain, wailing, and finally turned into corpses, floating on the water, and flowing downstream with the river.
Sophie's pupils suddenly dilated, and the shock in her heart was indescribable, because she could see that there was no obvious burning on the surface of the demonic beast, but the inside was almost evaporated, otherwise, the corpse of the giant demonic beast would never float on the surface of the water so easily.
