Chapter 1440: Resuscitation of the Volcano (V.)
Bavra flew to the net, changed back into her original form, and used the catman's housekeeping skills, crawling up the treetops, hiding among the dense foliage to secretly observe the large group of fire bats chasing behind her.
Peter's trap proved to work, as the bat's eyesight was so bad that it couldn't see anything up to 10 feet away, and it relied on sound waves from its mouth to detect its bearings. When the sound waves touch the area radiated by the "silence technique", they are immediately absorbed. The fire bat could not receive the echo, and subconsciously thought that there was an open area ahead, so it broke in defenselessly, hit the barbed wire fence headlong, and its wings were stuck with glue, and it was unable to break free for a while.
The fire bats that followed one after another also fell for the same trick, hitting the barbed wire one after another, like mosquitoes firmly entangled in spider webs. These "big mosquitoes" turned the barbed wire fence into a burning wall of fire, and the trees supporting the nets on both sides were also set on fire.
"Hurry up!" Pavra couldn't hide her tracks, and shouted a message from the tree to Peter and the nearby militia.
Peter jumped out of the cornfield, held aloft the emblem and unleashed the "water-making technique", and a shower fell from the sky and drenched the barbed wire fence covered with fire bats.
A "water-making technique" was not enough to extinguish the flames on the many fire bats, and the militiamen also lifted the buckets they had prepared and threw them at the iron net. Farmers in the valley villages, who were hiding in cornfields, also dared to run out, picking up pots and pans and other containers filled with cold water and spilling them on the barbed wire.
Hundreds of people worked together, and the water splashed out of the river was like a torrential rain, pouring all the fire bats hanging on the barbed wire into "soup chickens", and there was no spark on their bodies, and white steam was rising.
Lost the protection of the flames, and glued to the barbed wire and lost their freedom, these "soup chickens" have all become live targets. Peter and Pavra did not miss the opportunity, and called on the militia to rush forward with steel forks and kill the killers, killing all the fire bats on the wire net in less than two minutes.
Everyone was very excited about the first victory. Bafra volunteered to lure the enemy again, but the second wave of fire bats crashed into the barbed wire, first doused with cold water to extinguish the flames, and finally all of them were killed under the bright steel forks of the militia.
The same tactic was tried and tested, and within two hours, dozens of fire bats were buried under the barbed wire. It's a pity that Peter's Silence Scroll has been used up, and the barbed wire has been repeatedly burned red by fire bats and splashed with cold water to cool down sharply, and the toughness has become much worse than before, and several large holes have been broken, which can no longer play a role as a barrier to stop fire bats.
Fortunately, there were too many fire bats that had died here to arouse the alarm of their kind, and then they deliberately bypassed the area where Peter and Bafra were stationed and attacked the defense line where the other militia squads were stationed.
Peter and Bafra's tactics of slaughtering large swarms of firebats cannot be replicated in other positions, but it can still inspire the militia to muster up courage to confront these flaming monsters. The villagers next to the militia were also inspired by the mission to defend their homes, and despite the threat of being burned by fire bats, they approached them and poured cold water.
There are more than 1,600 residents of the valley village commune, except for the elderly and children, all gathered at the edge of the field, working together to build a flesh-and-blood defense line and do everything possible to resist the invasion of fire bats.
Bafra climbed to the treetops and looked out over the land, where a wall of people stretched out along the farmland, sporadic fires dangling in the air, all blocked from the farmland.
At first, the fire bats did not take these people in their way seriously, but still adhered to the usual hunting rules, and pounced on the living creatures when they saw them. However, after being hit head-on many times and losing hundreds of their kind, they finally realized that these humans were not easy to mess with.
After paying a heavy price, some of the more intelligent firebats changed tactics and instead of going head-to-head with the defenders, they climbed the altitude and tried to leap over people's heads in search of easier prey.
Behind the line of defense were fields of corn that had not yet been harvested, and Nikolai certainly could not sit idly by and watch the fire bats rush into the fields and lead a group of elite cavalry to chase after them and intercept them with bows and arrows.
After a rain of arrows, three firebat fell, but most of them still flew towards the cornfield in groups.
Nikolai looked at the group of fire bats that were fading away in the air, feeling powerless. Although the militia training in Gudi Village has been very serious and hard in the past six months, and has made great progress, it is not enough to train all these peasant youths into sharpshooters who can wear a hundred paces, and if they want to shoot fire bats in the middle of the night, it is more of a matter of luck.
"Kitten, cast a spell to stop those fire bats flying towards the farmland!" Seeing the urgency of the situation, Peter hurriedly asked Bafra for help, after all, Catwoman is the person with the strongest spell casting ability in Valle Village, and if she can't do anything, the farmland may not be saved.
In fact, Bafra was already preparing to cast a spell, her emerald eyes staring at the group of firebats in the air, magic surging from between her fingers, and when she spat out the last prayer, a whirlwind rose from the ground and surrounded the firebats.
The whirlwind barrier created by the 3-ring "Wind Wall Technique" swept the fire bats into the air current, and flew with the whirlwind, but there was no light-hearted expression on Bafra's face. She knew that the Wind Wall Technique could not kill the fire bats, at most they would be dizzy, and when the mana was exhausted and the whirlwind subsided, everything would be back to normal.
Peter looked up at the whirlwind and noticed that a little flame was swirling in the wind, and guessed that it was a fire bat trapped in the wind, and hurriedly raised the emblem to perform the last water-making technique he had prepared today.
The militiamen and the peasants who followed him saw Mr. Reverser throwing water into the whirlwind, and they all followed Peter's example by holding up containers full of water and throwing them into the wind.
Most of the cold water poured out was mixed into the whirlwind under the traction of the air current, and the "Wind Wall Technique" then became the "Water Wall Technique", drenching the fire bats wrapped in it.
Seeing this scene, Bafra's eyes flashed with surprise, and she hurriedly cast another druid 3-ring magic spell "Snow Storm", and the cold rain mixed with snowflakes and hail fell from the sky, and was sucked in by the whirlwind, freezing the fire bats that had lost their protective flames.
By the time the whirlwind subsided, the fire bats, first dizzy from the wind, then drenched in cold water, and finally frozen by a snowstorm, had only half a life left, and the only thing they could do was to flap their stiff wings and try to escape from this terrifying place.
"Launch!" Nikolai drew his saber and pointed forward, the militia pulled the crossbow machine together, and the dense arrows shot into the night sky, and the fire bats that had been hit by the snow storm and were far less agile than before, all became live targets, and were shot down one after another.
The crisis was temporarily lifted, but Nikolai, Peter, and Bavra could not relax their tense nerves. While they were chasing down the group of fire bats, more fire bats had already crossed the line of defense and flew towards the farmland.
