kept retreating to the mouth of the valley, Li Yuan and they still had heart palpitations, Lin Xiaoxin bit her lip tightly, Lin Yinyin leaned on Lin Xiaoxin, whenever she was afraid, she would subconsciously do this to seek a sense of security.

And Fei's face was even paler. At first, she somehow didn't hear the sounds of the desert locusts, but when she saw the desert locusts and deliberately perceived them, the sound like the sea burrowed into her head and almost burst her head.

"How many are there, can you estimate them?" After listening to what Li Yuan said, Brother Zhang's face was also unexpectedly solemn.

"I don't know, I'm afraid that even the number we see is 10,000, right?" Li Yuan was a little unsure.

"One hundred thousand, at least one hundred thousand!" Fei shuddered and picked up the number.

"Ten, one hundred thousand?" Tuomu lost his voice and glanced at Brother Zhang in shock.

"Looks like we'll have to let the old mayor assign more reinforcements." Brother Zhang groaned. Compared to Takumu, he seemed much calmer.

"And according to our previous preparations, we have to add a few more lines of defense." The foreman in charge of the construction said in a deep voice.

"Hmmm......"

So, several of them commanded, and the pace was quickened, and the forward base was quickly built, and at the same time the men and horses were directed to set traps.

The day passed quickly, and before I knew it, the twilight had set westward, and the remnant sun in the distance was as red as blood. The forward base has been set up, although it is a little simple, but it is connected in a row, and the area is not small, enough for hundreds of people to settle down.

In addition, before advancing to the base, a triple mechanism was set up with a net, and the large net was coated with oil that the locusts did not like to eat, and some mucus mixture.

This kind of thing is a trap that Brother Zhang used to deal with locusts in the past, and sometimes it is extremely useful.

At the front, there is grain buried in the yellow sand, which is used to lure these locusts to eat. And the grain is also mixed with a batch of candles and lanterns, as well as oil that can be used for burning.

After Merlin's explanation, the Desert Locust Commander commanded these Desert Locusts, which was nothing more than a general leading his troops into battle. The greater the number, the stronger the deterrent, but the more difficult it is to control.

For example, there are at least 100,000 desert locusts, and no desert locust commander can control them perfectly, not even ten.

Therefore, Merlin analyzed that the commanders of those desert locusts only gave the order to attack at most, and the rest was purely dependent on the instinct of these locusts.

When it was almost implemented, Li Yuan sent a message to the old mayor, briefly explaining the situation and their location, and the old mayor replied after a while.

In the town of Carlo, the town, which had gradually deserted due to nightfall, was completely lively. A horse-drawn carriage set off from the town and galloped towards the wasteland.

In the carriage, except for the first one, the back was almost full of people, and even many people climbed to the roof of the carriage and lay on it.

Nearly seventy or eighty wagons were running out of town—that was the number of all the wagons in Carlo.

Gradually, the sound of horses' hooves faded away, and the mouth of Caro returned to quiet. The old mayor put his hands behind his back, looked at the direction of the rolling yellow sand for a long time, and sighed faintly: "I hate the old man, otherwise I will go out with you and others, spill the loess with blood, and kill this harmful insect!" ”

…………

The carriage sped along the moor, and although there was a team of locusts on the way, the group abandoned it and continued to run forward, leaving the locust patrols behind.

With the help of a horse-drawn carriage, it took only three hours to walk for most of the day.

Seeing Wu Yao in the carriage at the front, Li Yuan stood on a high place, raised his hand high, and waved it.

Wu Yao arrived at the forward base, put away the pointer, got off his horse without saying a word, glanced at Li Yuan, and then his gaze drifted behind him again.

Li Yuan was embarrassed for a while, this greeting was really not a fight, and it was not a fight. Fortunately, after a while, Wu Yun jumped out of the carriage, high-fived him with his fist, and said with great interest: "Li Yuan, let's fight it out this time!" ”

"Don't think about playing yet, the situation is very serious, and we'll talk about it when it's over." Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Huh? What's going on? Wu Zhi also got out of the carriage and asked.

is worthy of Sister Wu Zhi, as soon as she came out, she pulled the atmosphere into the right track, which is much more reliable than her two younger brothers...... Li Yuan secretly sighed.

Li Yuan told Wu Zhi what he saw again, and Wu Zhi's face was much heavier when he heard it.

Gradually, a horse-drawn carriage drove into the forward base.

When the people arrived, Brother Zhang took the lead, and according to their plan, the team was arranged for the people who came, and the location of the garrison was determined according to the place where they arranged the trap.

After arranging, he went to a high platform at the forward base, raised his arms and shouted: "Soldiers! For the town of Carlo! For the property we want to protect behind us, wife and children, fight! ”

"Oh! ~"There are people at the bottom who respond, but there are not too many people who respond.

Among them, Brother Zhang has a certain prestige in the hearts of the residents of Caro Town, but he does not have much influence among novice adventurers.

And these novice adventurers, one by one, were demoralized, and some of their faces were still pale, as if they had not recovered from what had happened before.

Seeing this scene, Wu Zhi didn't say a word, went on stage, and glanced sharply at the novice adventurers in Caro Town below, and then said, "What? After experiencing previous failures, you were cowardly? How dare you claim to be the warriors of Carlo? What about the momentum that they boasted in the tavern? ”

"If you're scared, go back quickly, go back and wear a Suluo skirt, don't be a man. lest I be ridiculed for being ridiculed, you men are not even as good as me as a woman! ”

After that, Wu Zhi stepped down proudly, leaving behind a figure with curly hair and a ponytail fluttering. Bottom, the expressions of those novice adventurers gradually changed.

Immediately, Li Yuan and Brother Zhang and their group worked together to assign tasks to everyone here.

The twilight is getting darker.

The howling wind gradually subsided.

In this valley, whenever this time comes, the wind will cease for about three hours. And these two hours are the time for each locust commander to choose a big attack.

After receiving a message from the locusts patrol on the road, they are bound to go out tonight.

"Get ready, get ready!" Brother Zhang shouted and shook the gun in his hand. As the captain of the locust army all year round, he has developed a good voice early.

And Takumu untied the crossbow-bow behind him and waited solemnly.

The wind ceased, and the wasteland seemed to be shrouded in a curtain, with only the torches and the candles and lanterns hanging in the valley still flickering and dimming.

After a while, Fei heard their voices and whispered, "It's coming!" ”

Li Yuan's heart gradually hung up, although they had made all the preparations, but no one knew whether they could withstand this wave.

In the silence, time seems extraordinarily long.

I don't know how long it took, Fei suddenly said loudly: "There are only a few hundred meters left!" ”

Sure enough, in just a short moment, Li Yuan and the others saw a long black dragon flying out of the valley through the horse lantern hanging on the mountain wall, quickly approaching them.

Some of them were timid, and their faces turned pale when they saw such a scene.

But when the long black dragon was only a hundred meters away from them, it suddenly dived and pounced on the grain traps that had been set up on the ground.

In less than a minute, the locusts were crawling all over the ground.

"Yin Yin, do it!" Li Yuan shouted.

Lin Yinyin resolutely began to chant, and a crimson light flashed on her magic book, followed by a ball of fire. Everyone looked sideways, and those people looked at Lin Yinyin with surprise on their faces.

As the last word came out of Lin Yinyin's mouth, the fireball swept out of the magic book like an elf flying in the night, shattering the horse lantern in the grain pile.

Rumble! There was a loud bang, and a huge fireball exploded. The flames spread rapidly along the grease they had laid down, quickly sweeping in all directions.

At the same time, the archers and mages in the team each shot according to the previously agreed goal, hitting the candle lanterns hanging on the edge of the cliff.

Boom Boom Boom! The bangs continued.

Throughout the valley, fierce flames erupted, rushing straight to the sky, like a demon opening its mouth, swallowing the army of locusts at once.

"Oh! ~" The people present raised their arms and roared excitedly, and the low morale was reversed at once.

Scattered around, a small number of locusts rushed out of the flames, burning all over their bodies, and squeaky groans came out of their mouths.

Seeing this, a group of people were overjoyed, rushed up like crazy, raised their weapons, and slaughtered the locusts.

"Come back! Come back! Li Yuan was in a hurry and yelled at the top of his throat.

But there were very few people who listened to him, and some of them were in the tavern before, and Liu Laoer, who had clashed with them, passed by his side and sneered at him: "You are from a foreign country, and you still want to be the boss among us?" ”

With that, he took the bow and arrow in his hand and rushed out. In a crowd of people, he can't find a suitable output point for an archer.

"Damn it!" Li Yuan was in a hurry, and shouted at Lin Xiaoxin: "Xiaoxin, you are ready!" ”

"Hmm!" Lin Xiaoxin agreed.

Sure enough, after a while, many desert locusts took advantage of the fire waves to fly dozens of meters high, flew over the mouth of the valley where the flames were raging, and swarmed towards the group of people.

The black swarm of insects is like a tide, wave after wave, endlessly. A level four or five novice adventurer might be able to deal with dozens of desert locusts in a day, but it is absolutely impossible to deal with ten or twenty desert locusts in one go.

With such a number, it didn't take long for the gang to start stretching thin. The desert locusts took advantage of their numerical superiority to pounce on the group of people at the forefront of the charge, directly surrounding their entire people and eating them.

The man's screams rang out in front of the raging flames, high-pitched and numbing to the scalp, but after a while, they quickly faded away. As the swarm dispersed, he was gone, and only a pool of black blood remained on the ground.

"Ahh What happened to him was like a basin of cold water poured on the heads of those who were rising up, and they were awakened at once.

The fear of domination seems to have struck like a tsunami again.
