Chapter 130: Sour Rot

In fact, Barrett didn't know what was going on in Walkerson City, and the speculation in his words just now was also quite flawed. However, after discovering the enemy's reinforcements outside the temple, the impact on these people in front of them was not small. In the need for something morale-boosting, Barrett had to make the move.

Pastor Gatsby, who came to his senses, immediately chimed in: "That's right! It must have been that they did not achieve their goal in the battle of Walkerson, so they had to choose the surrounding towns as targets.

After saying this, Pastor Gatsby immediately congratulated himself on agreeing two days ago to inform the 'Brute Stone Mercenary Regiment' detachment of the current situation in the Northlands. Otherwise, as soon as Barrett's words came out, everyone would immediately have fun watching it. Of course, if Pastor Gatsby had insisted on refusing before, Barrett would have preferred to forgo the words of encouragement rather than reveal those messages.

After hearing this, all of you present were in a somewhat better mood. Although it is not clear whether Barrett's words are true or false, people will always grasp any life-saving straw when they are in danger. Even if the thirst-quenching effect of Wangmei does not last long, the most important thing at the moment is to be able to survive this crisis. The rest of the matter will naturally be put aside later.

"That's it! Prepare a dedicated decapitator as I said earlier. Barrett then turned his gaze to Reverend Gatsby, "If there is a weapon that can be used against the hydra lizard." I'd like to borrow it for the time being, the team members in charge of the decapitation. ”

Hearing this, Pastor Gatsby touched his unvigorous beard and thought for a while: "There is still a sour rotten scimitar in the temple that can be used. However, if it is just a weapon, it should not have much effect. ”

"Better than nothing! If you use it with the right people, it can be somewhat helpful in battle. In the face of the impending crisis, Barrett can now be said to be scavenging for any chips at his disposal.

The Roman heavy swordsman on the side frowned at this time: "But there are no members of our team who are good at using scimitars to decapitate. Moreover, scimitar decapitation is generally a skill of light cavalry, and it is very difficult to accomplish that kind of task with a scimitar as a small weapon without the help of a mount. Of course, if it's a powerful warrior like you, Mr. Boreham. It should still be possible. ”

"I'll forget it!" Barrett, who said this, patted the 'Broken Peak' on his body, "My treasure is much stronger than ordinary enchanted weapons, just let the mage give a temporary blessing spell later." You don't need that scimitar. ”

Then Mr. Yodel shook his head: "I can't use a scimitar weapon. As for my men, let alone that. ”

"Just find a suitable one there. Wait, if the gate is broken, we'll have to face the damn multi-headed lizard. Barrett hesitated and was a little glad to say this. The gates of this temple in Winterspring were much smaller than those of Walkerson. With the size of the hydra lizards outside, they could only enter one by one. And once you're in the central hall, the rest of the passages can't be squeezed in unless they're made smaller by casting.

But just storming the central hall was enough to prepare the people in the temple for an escape plan. The numerical advantage on the opposite side was too great, and even if they retreated to every corridor and every room, the defenders who had lost the biggest barrier had no chance of winning.

Fortunately, it seems that because the reinforcements traveled a long way, the soldiers of the Mammoth Dynasty did not attack directly when the siege equipment was properly placed. This finally gave everyone in the temple a buffer. But after about 3 hours of rest. The soldiers in the square, who had been scattered, began to form a group under the whip and scolding of the officer.

"Get ready to fight!" Barrett, who grabbed the compound longbow in his hand again, couldn't help but complain: "Those mammoth reinforcements, the recovery speed is really fast. ”

"It's a pity we really don't have the means to deal with that big battering ram." Rielly's mood will inevitably be a little low at this time. If no one stands in the way, the mage can easily dismantle the engineering equipment alone. It's a pity that the mammoth spellcasters don't sit idly by. Therefore, Rielly, who was weak and weak, could only watch the approaching battering ram and grit her teeth.

"Whoosh" Barrett's arrow from the cross-shaped observation hole pierced the body of a mammoth overseer who was wielding a leather whip and whipping the strong man who was pushing the battering ram forward. Unfortunately, after being weakened by the thick scale armor of the other party, the overseer stumbled due to the strength of the arrow, but after picking up his helmet, the guy stood up again.

To be able to do this kind of distance was already the limit for the ordinary compound longbow in Barrett's hand. Barrett, who didn't plan to turn his longbow into a magic weapon, too. Then he turned his gaze to the strong men who were being forced to push the cart.

But then he shook his head and did not pull the bowstring again. This is not to say that Barrett himself can't bear to do it, but in the current situation, he really can't kill him. After all, among the strong men who were captured for servitude. Many of them are natives of Wintersprings. Although Barrett, who had only been in Wintersprings for a few days, did not recognize them. But there are still many members of the temple who are neighbors with the laborers outside.

If the temple is currently guarded by a unified army, then it is okay to shoot your compatriots in front of the battle for your own safety. However, in the case of the four groups, which do not fully trust each other at the moment, shooting those strong men can effectively slow down the enemy's advance, but also face the danger of possible infighting, which neither the local attendants in the temple nor the dock workers under Mr. Yodele can accept in their hearts. And players can't manage them effectively.

The sound of "bang-bang" accompanied by the 'clang' of metal chains rang out outside the temple gates. The giant battering ram was pounding against the temple door with the metal part of its hat. The sturdy wrestlers wielding battering rams ignore the threat of the vast majority of projectile weapons under the protection of the 'A' bracket.

So much so that the defenders could only scatter their firearms on the mammoth soldiers who were guarding the battering rams. And the mammoth soldiers who were forced by the commanders to brave the rain of arrows and be on guard were already scolded in their hearts one by one at this moment.

It's not wrong that large battering rams don't shoot arrows. However, if there is no one around to protect it, a surprise attack from the temple will pose a great threat to it. And those coolies, it's okay to let them push things, but in the face of swords, it's definitely as far as they have to run. If not so timid. How could they help the invaders against their own countrymen under the threat of the Mammoth Dynasty?

So the warriors of the Lactodon tribe who had a bad relationship with Nuhar fell into blood mold. They were placed in front of this and were baptized by arrows for a long time. On the battlefield though. Bow and arrow weapons can do a lot of damage, but they are often difficult to kill. So the ruffians lay down on the ground immediately after being struck by the arrow, and then wailed vigorously. It seems that he intends to use it this way, otherwise he will become the next target.

And Barrett, who shot 20 arrows in a row behind the observation hole, had to stop at this time to link his tired arm: "I wonder how long the gate of the temple can last?" Fortunately, after the distance was closer, I was able to deal with a few mammoth barbarians. ”

"It's a pity that compared to the number of people on the other side, your performance is still a drop in the bucket!" Rielly, who was recuperating on the side, was forcing her eyes to say at the moment.

Barrett smiled. "If you can kill one more, it's one! Maybe the enemy left behind now will be the straw that breaks the camel's back in the battle that waits! ”

"One last straw!" Rielly really didn't think that with the number of mammoths outside the temple, being shot by Barrett would have any real impact on the rest of the battle.

At this moment, the hydra lizards, who had been at a safe distance, suddenly began to approach the temple under the whip of the gray dwarf keeper. Seeing this scene, Barrett immediately put away his longbow and pulled out his sword: "It seems that the gate under it is almost untenable, and it is time for me to move there." ”

"I didn't expect it to be so fast. Even if you use special siege equipment to assist in spells, you shouldn't be able to break through the gate of the temple so quickly! Rielly, who opened her eyes, frowned.

Barrett moved his neck: "Maybe that battering ram itself is a strange thing!" Otherwise......"

Before Barrett could finish speaking, the damned hydra lizards approached the temple and suddenly each of their necks began to bulge slightly. As the bulge slowly slides up from the base of the neck to the head. Then, a stream of yellow-green breath suddenly erupted from the lizard's head.

As the head of the hydra lizard swayed around its neck, the pungent smell of breath danced in the square. When everything was over, the side of the temple facing the square was immediately enveloped. Although the corrosion is concentrated in an area 20 feet long and 10 feet wide, this does not prevent those acids from spreading outward on this basis. These suspended granular liquids roll forward like waves.

A large amount of acid poured into the temple along the observation holes and lighting holes in the walls. Barrett, who had sensed that something was wrong early in the morning, immediately took two steps back. The sound of "zi-zi---" is the bubbles that bubble when the acid falls into the bottom plate. Seeing this scene, Barrett said bitterly: "Good fellow! Looks like we'll have to worry about who should use that rot scimitar in a minute. Since the new breed outside can spray acid in the mouth, the weakness of so many protosnake lizards that are afraid of acid probably won't exist. ”

While Barrett spoke, there were also shooters in the temple who had no time to dodge and were baptized with acid. "Wow-" screamed, and the other party kept rolling on the floor with his head in both hands. The companions on the side held down the victim hard to prevent him from struggling. He was then transferred to a canvas stretcher and transported to the medical room for treatment.

Fortunately, the temple's defenses also kicked in after the acid invasion. The original observation holes began to be sealed by the closed rock. This prevented the defenders from continuing to shoot, but it also made the hydra lizard's acid a threat for the time being.

"I think this time it's not just about preparing for the magic and fireball spells, but also about the need to protect against the energy 'acid'. Otherwise, it doesn't feel good to be slapped by those guys. As she said this, Rielly frowned, for there were few such scrolls she had prepared now. There is no memory of this spell in the current spell slot, and there are not many people who can be blessed by their own inventory alone.

Turning to look at the missing shot hole, Barrett turned around and said, "I'll leave this to Pastor Gatsby for a headache!" That kind of common spell. The temple should be somewhat stocked. Anyway, let's take care of what we're talking about first. ”

"Wow-" screamed, and the other party kept rolling on the floor with his head in both hands. The companions on the side held the victim hard to prevent him from struggling, and then transferred him to a canvas stretcher to the side, ready to be transported to the medical room for treatment.
