Chapter 90: The Battle of the Fortress (1)
"Woooooo
When the desolate and dull sound of the horn sounded among the cascading mountains of the Ponse Mountains, a behemoth slowly emerged from the mountain forest, and the ground was plowed by them with deep traces, and a huge shadow enveloped the land.
This is the Ponse Pass.
The thick and tall walls are like steel casting, and the black walls are covered with traces of vicissitudes, and it is hard to imagine that in such an era of underground productivity, such a wall with a height of more than 20 meters can be built.
The whole Ponse Pass is like a behemoth crawling on the earth, the ancient wall is mottled with vicissitudes, the traces of swords, guns and axes have long been part of the city wall, and the perennial bloody wall has a bad pungent smell.
"Flail snail! Damn it! That filthy orc barbarian is here again! Get ready for battle! Get ready for battle! ……”
When a huge creature rushed out of the mountain forest, its huge body came into the eyes of those soldiers at the head of the city, they were the war beasts of the orc clan, and their huge bodies spread out to rival even the city walls.
They are flail snails.

Special Abilities:
Mucus Trail: The flail snail secretes mucus that forms a trail in the space it occupies for 10 minutes. Mucus stains can be of two types: slippery and stagnant.
This slime is mildly corrosive, and anyone attempting to move through an area covered in slime must go through a round of Reflection Immunity and Corrosion Immunity, failing which they will suffer minor corrosion and fall to the ground.
(This slime can have an oil-like effect when met with an open flame.) )
Shrinking the shell: The flail snail can shrink the fleshy part into the shell with a swift motion. At this point, its innate armor bonus is increased several times, but it cannot move or attack.
Slime rope: The flail snail causes its mucus to form a long strand of rope. It can use this slime rope to drag and hang itself along with heavy cargo.
Adsorption: The gastropods of flail snails can be tightly adsorbed to the surface. It can move slowly and steadily on a completely upright wall or ceiling.
Twist Magic: Whenever a spell targets a flail snail, there is an 80% chance that it will not affect the flail snail and will produce a random effect. Only spells that directly target a flail snail will be reversed; Area spells are not affected.
PS: This giant snail carries a brightly colored shell on its back. Its head has four antennae protruding, all of which are terminated by mace-like induration.

These huge creatures are docile in nature, and their special biological abilities allow them to travel through various natural environments such as mountains and forests without barriers.
Its combat capabilities may be weak.
However, flail snails are large creatures, and they will also attack larger creatures in self-defense. Flail snails are known for their spell-twisting shells and mallet-like tentacles.
Many years ago.
The orcs who occupied a large area of the rich land of the continent of Ash were defeated by humans, and their ancestors once organized a huge migration of flails and snails.
These large, docile creatures have written a magnificent epic with their own slime trajectories.
With the appearance of this similar troop-transporting war beast, the orcs wearing animal skins have appeared in the field of vision of the soldiers at the head of the city, those orcs their weapons are primitive and savage, but their bodies are extremely strong, and some agile orcs are running fast behind the tracks of those giant snails.
"Quick! Arrow Tower! Stop them! Shoot! ”
The commander of the castle with the Emerald Collar on his chest shouted hoarsely, and he drew his sword and gave quick orders.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Behind the walls of the Ponse Fortress, countless arrows were shot from the neatly arranged tall arrow towers, which had been ready for war since the beginning of the development of the Ponse Mountains.
In the direction of the mountainous area, there are at least twenty tall stone towers, which are layered and contain powerful weapons of war on the human side.
Roar!
A frantic roar was heard.
The valiant orcs rushed at the wall in the face of a rain of arrows, and these monsters with strong bodies seemed to have forgotten about death, and even if their companions fell, they did not hesitate to pounce on the walls.
The flail snail may seem slow to move, but for its size, this slowness is actually faster than many humans.
"Catapult troops! Those damn big guys are coming! ”
The commander of the fortress shouted with a grim face, and he saw that nearly twenty flail snails were already approaching the city wall.
This is not the first time these orc clans have attacked.
He knew exactly what would happen to these damn snails approaching the city!
Inside the walls of the fortress are the magic base arrays inscribed by the casters of the [Tower of Darkness], which can effectively prevent the erosion and bombardment of magic, although the orcs are known as the magic desert, they are well prepared.
But this damn snail is tricky.
Their powerful adsorption power and disgusting ropes of slime make them like moving war fortresses, and once they get close to the walls, they can rush straight to the top of the city.
For this.
The defenders of Ponse Pass have paid the lesson of blood and tears.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
As the flail snails began to prepare to climb the wall, there was a roar in the sky, and huge rocks smashed into the battlefield, and occasionally one or two rocks smashed into the tentacles of the snails, and the flail snails left like mace to smash the stones apart.
However, there are also some snails that will automatically retract into their shells after eating pain, and after a while, they will slowly continue to stick out their heads and climb up.
Boom! Boom!
The dull sound of war drums came from behind, and these strange war drums combined with the strange dance of the orc sacrifice made the flail snails extremely aggressive, and they actually began to climb towards the top of the city with the boulders.
Bands of orcs rushed over like a tidal wave, grabbing only the slime ropes secreted by the snails, hiding behind the huge hard shells, and climbing up the wall little by little.
The Orcs' offensive was bloody but highly fruitful.
As soon as the flail snail takes root at the top of the city, countless slime ropes will fall down, and a steady stream of orcs will rush to the top of the city until the enemy pushes them back again.
“…… Lord Montu, more than thirty percent of the warriors lost in this attack, countless were seriously injured, and three great chiefs were already close to the head of the city! Also, Lord Hamar is asking to play! An orc soldier reported on the battle.
"Ridiculous! Tell him to get out! Their clan has paid enough! Tell Hamal that they don't owe anything to the Bloodsong Clan! ”
Montu, the main battle leader of the orcs, scolded.
Since a few months ago, the orc clans gathered on this side of Ponse's Pass have begun to attack the fortress, killing countless clan chiefs and leaders, and countless orcs have left their lives here.
Montu, the Tiger Man, the orc warrior of the Blood Song Clan, stood in the rear, quietly watching the lives of the orc warriors disappear, without a trace of expression on his face.
No one can blame him.
During the first attack on the fortress, it was Montu who led the people to rush to the city, and after a difficult battle with the human army, he was hit by dozens of arrows, and when he was rescued by his subordinates, he had become a bloody man.
He is not a weakling.
Scar Rage - Montu!
Unlike ordinary orcs, Montupen is a warrior by profession, but after he advanced to the third order, a wonderful experience caused his profession to mutate.
Now.
He is a level 43 scar berserker.
