"Poof!"
Heavy, sharp triangular steel arrows fell from the sky, making a piercing whistling sound that tore through the air, and plunged headlong into the body of the giant "Six".
Tens of thousands of arrows of different types were fired at the same target, most of which hit at the same time, and the powerful reaction force produced made the giant "Six" stagnate, and then lost its balance, raised its hands, and waved it in the air, trying to maintain its balance, and finally rolled backwards and fell hard.
This scene made the defenders on the lock dragon pass collectively silent for a few seconds, and then burst into deafening cheers.
"That's right, that's it, shoot it!"
"Keep shooting."
"Take aim, just say hello to your head, that position must be its key point!"
Even the slightest change can make the desperate person feel confident, the barbarian warriors stationed at the pass are like a shot in the arm, and the head of the adjutant that Shi Zhenghao cut off before is hung in the most conspicuous position in the middle of the city wall, under the multiple psychological mixtures of fear, death and hope, people feel that they have found a breakthrough in thinking in an instant.
The frequency of bow and arrow shooting reached its peak, wave after wave.
Hu Yong first pressed his hands on the inner edge of the city wall, like a fierce tiger ready to attack, nervously and with a hint of joy staring at the giant "Six" outside the city. Although there were many signs that bow and arrow shooting was ineffective against this monster, deep down, Hu Yongxian still had a little luck.
It wasn't that big before. Maybe this is the negative effect of the sudden increase in size, causing it to develop some weaknesses in the process of growing up?
So ranged attacks can deal damage to it?
If this is the case, then this battle still has to be fought, at least our side will not be in an absolute weakness.
The deep worries that had plagued Hu Yongxian these days were finally relieved slightly, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath, and his eyes moved away from the giant "Six" that had not been able to get up since he fell to the ground, and shifted to the other small "Six".
There are a lot of them, in the thousands. These dark red monsters, which had gathered at the base of the city wall yesterday, had left this morning, wandering slowly back and forth in places that could be seen with the naked eye.
Hu Yongxian's brow furrowed again.
These monsters, which were the equivalent of adult barbarian warriors, did not gather, and there were no signs of merging collectively after dissolving. The giant "Six" seems to be unique, or it may be a variant caused by some accident among them, which is a special case that is not universal.
They just stand in place, occasionally moving their legs and walking at an extremely slow pace. All the small "Sixes" turned to the giant "Six" who had fallen to the ground, and all their eyes were on that direction.
Shi Zhenghao inserted the saber into the scabbard, he took a hard bow from the guards, strode to Hu Yongxian, who was staring at the outside of the city, observed the situation outside the city intently, and asked uncertainly: "That big guy, is it their leader?" ”
"Maybe!" Hu Yong first withdrew his gaze from a distance and fell on the giant "Six" lying under the city wall. It was struggling, and it seemed to want to turn over, but its clumsy hands and feet could not complete the commands transmitted by the brain, and it seemed very sluggish, like a newborn baby, kicking its feet and grasping its hands.
……
On the opposite side of the battlefield, the positions of the coalition forces of the kingdom.
Flamar heard footsteps behind him, and he was astute to recognize that it was Bishop Somsen and his guards. Putting down the binoculars in his hand, the Duke turned around, first glanced at Calis standing on the side, and then his eyes fell on the black-robed bishop.
"This is what you call a surprise and a miracle?" Framar did not hide his mockery, he raised his hand sideways and pointed to the battlefield in the distance: "Your Excellency, the so-called secret weapon is obviously not as powerful as you say. The barbarian could shoot it down casually with a bow and arrow, and now it could not even stand up. ”
Calis raised his hand and patted Flamar on the shoulder, giving a kind reminder: "Don't do this! It is not the fault of His Excellency the Bishop. The position where Six is currently located is dangerous for us, and if it were our soldiers on top, we would have suffered heavy casualties. ”
Bishop Somson's attitude towards not caring about Flamar is not a good thing. The smile on his face was much more restrained than usual, more formulaic and slightly serious: "A little patient." We've been waiting for so many days, and it's okay to wait a little longer. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a war, and as long as it can be won, it is normal for the process to be tortuous. ”
Flamal really thinks about the same as the bishop, but he is stubborn and belongs to the type that refuses to admit defeat. So he sneered: "An oversized baby, this is the key factor that determines the outcome of the war?" ”
Bishop Somson looked the same: "It will help us break through that wall." ”
Flamal was not interested in arguing with the bishop on matters that he was not familiar with. He quickly changed the focus: "I think it's almost time, it's time for our artillery to show its might." ”
Bishop Somson's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he stared at Framar in a calm and cold tone: "If I were you, I would choose to continue waiting." Be patient and don't be so impatient. ”
"Sorry, I don't like pointless arguments. Of course, I can't wait, but at least I have to come up with enough convincing evidence. Flamar was a little angry, and he released the words that were mixed with this emotion: "Many of my soldiers have frostbite, and we must speed up and end the war." ”
He did lose much patience with the war. It's not that Flamal has some kind of affection for the northern giants, but it's a matter of choosing the timing of the troops. It was so cold that the soldiers of the Viking Kingdom were very uncomfortable with this, and the logistical supply was also very difficult, saying that it was "providing enough coal", but in fact it could only allow each tent to get a supply of charcoal basins per day, that is, about four hours of burning time.
The winter nights in the area north of Kamui Fortress are long and chilling to the bone.
The first battle of the "Six" was good, and it completely annihilated the vanguard of the Northern Giants. This gave Vlamal a glimpse of victory, and made his soldiers feel frightened and shocked while glad that the terrible monsters were on their side.
But after that battle, thousands of proliferating "Six" wandered around the battlefield like ghosts. For so many days, their only progress was to get close to the walls of the Lock Dragon Pass, stretch out their hands, and scratch uselessly upward.
Doing so will never be possible to climb up.
Flamal felt that he had to do something, such as assembling artillery and smashing the wall with the power of science, so that hordes of Sixes could rush in and fight the northern giants to the death.
"Huh! This war will last for a long time, and all you are talking about is breaking through and capturing the Lock Dragon Pass. Bishop Somson corrected the Duke's mistake as he continued to explain to the huge "Six" on the battlefield in the distance: "They have already made some gains, and they need more time to learn." ”
The bishop's point of view differed from that of Flamar. If the Duke is a radical, Somson is undoubtedly a conservative.
"Studying?" Flamar grasped the key words in the bishop's words and unceremoniously opened his mouth to sarcastically: "Let a group of monsters with intelligence as babies learn? That's a good reason indeed. ”
Bishop Somson put away his smile and responded with mockery: "Don't look at things with fixed eyes. They are changing, gigantic means development, and increased brain capacity means more intellectual base. ”
After a pause, the bishop sneered and took his eyes off Framar's face, cast his gaze on the mountains and city walls in the distance, which normal people could only discern faintly, and said lightly: "This is the will of the Holy Lord, and it will lead us to victory." ”
……
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of barbarian warriors on the Lock Dragon Pass, the huge "Six" held the ground with both hands, rolled on its side, and slowly got up in sluggishness and heaviness.
Hu Yongxian's face suddenly distorted.
He saw that as the blood-red giant stood up straight, countless arrows appeared on the ground where he had been lying down.
Thick heavy crossbow arrows, various types of feather arrows, broken shafts...... These jumbled weapons had been deeply embedded in the body of the giant "Six" during the previous shot, and were once believed to have inflicted heavy damage on the target by the townspeople who locked the dragon. But now it seems that nothing that should have happened has happened. Monsters are still monsters, and no arrows of any kind can damage it, like sticks piercing through the mud, but the essence remains the same.
"Archon, look over there!" Behind Hu Yong, the frightened shouts of the captain of the guard were heard.
Following his guidance, Hu Yong first saw the most terrifying image that he would never forget, causing the pupils of his eyes to instantly constrict into needle tips.
In the land outside the city that had killed countless barbarian soldiers, around the giant "No. 6" that was tens of meters high, thousands of wandering single "No. 6" began a new round of changes. They are divided into areas by their respective locations, clustering towards their most central goal. Two, three, ten, hundred...... The whole process was exactly the same as what the giant "Six" had done before.
Immediately, a dozen or so large and expanding dark red "flesh mud masses" appeared in the open space outside the city. Standing on the top of the city and looking down, it was like a giant mushroom suddenly growing on the surface of the cold earth shrouded in a small amount of snow and broken ice. The flat red surface is bulging, and human heads with vague facial features are "growing". Their appearance is identical to that of the first giant Six, with the most striking feature being the frightening ring of eyes that surround the bridge of their noses.
These new giant "Sixes" spawn much faster than the first one. Whether the individual is dissolved intensively or recondensed into a new torso, the time consumed is reduced by at least sixty percent.
Hu Yongxian trembled violently, as if all the blood in his body was instantly drained, and his hands and feet became cold.
Not even one can be dealt with...... Now, the same monsters have increased so much.
They...... I used to be a warrior under my command!
"Kill!" Shi Zhenghao's roar came from behind him. Whether it works or not, you have to do it to know.
Hu Yong stared blankly at the giant "Six" that had risen from the ground and strode to the wall. There was no expression on its disgusting face, and it swung its large, heavy right fist high, and slammed it into the wall, with a heavy muffled sound, centered on the point of the fist, and a circular shockwave immediately spread. Countless rocks shattered, and a few archers standing nearby staggered and could not keep their balance, nor did they have time to turn and flee, falling with the falling rocks and sand. They let out screams of terror and fell into the spread feet of the giant "Six" in full view of everyone, sinking on the spot, unable to get out despite their desperate struggles. The red flesh and mud that made up "Six" seemed to have some kind of consciousness, and it split off from the calf near the surface of the foot and covered it directly over the poor man's head.
Hu Yong subconsciously pulled out his saber first, and was about to issue an order, when the giant "Six" swung his fist again and slammed it towards the wall. He was so shocked by the force from under his feet that he couldn't keep his balance, and he had to bend down to stay in a half-kneeling position, and the handle of his pestle barely fell on the spot.
Seeing this, Shi Zhenghao quickly passed through several soldiers, rushed directly to Hu Yongxian, grabbed his arm and pulled him up, and said in surprise and anger: "Great Commander, it's too dangerous here, you go down first, and I'll take the others to block for a while." ”
"Nope! If you want to go, you go! Hu Yongxian's face showed a strange and painful expression that Shi Zhenghao had never seen before, and then became extremely determined: "The city wall here is very strong, and this level of impact cannot cause damage. That's it, you take half of your men and retreat, immediately build a second line of defense, and I'll try to buy you time. ”
Shi Zhenghao asked in amazement in the violent shock and shaking, "You mean to continue to pray to the guardian spirit?" ”
"I'm not sure if it's going to work." Hu Yong turned around first, and looked at the giant six, his eyes were full of hatred flames: "I don't need any hole cards anymore, I can use all the methods I can use." If you can kill one, you can kill all the monsters! ”
Shi Zhenghao looked at him deeply, did not speak, let go of his hand, turned around and ran towards the nearest group of soldiers.
So far, no solution has been found to deal with the giant "Six". After witnessing the proliferation and mutation of "No. 6" caused by the battle outside the city, Shi Zhenghao and Hu Yongxian both knew very well that fighting at close range would only waste their troops, and in turn would add more flesh and blood resources to the opponent.
The top of the city wall of Suolong Pass is very high from the ground, and the giant "No. 6" can't reach the top of the pass with his hand. In short, if you can procrastinate, you can procrastinate, and maybe at some point, a miracle will suddenly befall you.
Hu Yong first believed in the gods.
All barbarian warriors are fanatical believers in the gods.
They didn't know what "science" was, but they believed that the Patronus would be called accordingly.
