Volume 1: The Wind Rises in the Heart of the Tree Chapter 15: The Battle of the Watchtower (1)
Soon, there was a buzzing sound in the distance, the sound of a large number of bee wings vibrating, and soon everyone saw the hornets flying out of the edge of the woods, these wasps were the size of adults, most of them smooth, with various color spots, mainly yellow and red. The upper jaw is well developed, the mouth has a long needle-like weapon, and the tail also has a tail needle.
The hornets kept a certain distance from each other, apparently for fear of being hit by some spell, and due to the limitation of their wings, the hornets did not fly very high, but they still flew more than twice as high as the top of the watchtower.
When the front team of the hornets was still a few kilometers away from the watchtower, the rear team had all flown out of the woods, and the watchtower watchers had estimated the approximate number at this time, targeting more than 1,000 of them. It seems that the hornets also underestimated the combat effectiveness of the watchtower, and did not play the tactic of winning by quantity. Tiger Thorn Mei glanced at the group of demons next to her, estimating that they would suffer heavy casualties, but this was not something she could take into account.
Seeing that the watchtower was ahead, the hornets pouted their butts, the tails on their butts facing forward, and then launched a sudden fire, starting to shoot in the direction of the watchtower.
The sound of thumping firing reached the side of the watchtower, and the sentinels covered their bodies behind the shields, and countless tail pins of about one meter were all hit on the shields. There was a tinkling sound, and the shield was pierced like a hedgehog, but it did not break the shield.
However, the demons over there suffered heavy casualties, and the monsters with thin skins and low defenses were shot and fell down one after another, and they were screaming in chaos. These tail needles are highly anesthetized and highly poisonous, and they are basically unable to survive if they are shot.
There was no fire on the watchtower, and the watchmen on the watchtower were afraid of scaring away the buzzing hornets, and when the hornets got closer, their clenched fists finally waved, and the pea shooters in the watchtower facing the hornet's attack opened fire in unison.
Countless peas and spikes full of spiritual essence spilled out like raindrops, and the hornets that had just recklessly shot the demons with their tail needles were suddenly swept away. Then it falls down like a dumpling.
The leading hornet was enraged, roared and commanded the hornets to launch an attack, and the hornets followed it to the sky, and after flying to the sky above the watchtower, they swooped down collectively, drawing a large arc, ready to use the momentum of the dive to stab the steel needle in the tail into the enemy's body.
At this time, the red lily inside the watchtower began to accumulate, and the flower buds began to compress air, and after holding it to the limit, it shot out suddenly, and the shuttle-shaped eggs broke through the resistance and flew into the sky. The wasps in front saw several white objects flying straight towards them, and hurriedly dodged to the side, but unfortunately at extremely fast relative speed, they were hit before they made any movements, and the white eggs exploded, and the milky white acid was scattered and splashed, and the surrounding wasps were poured with acid, and suddenly green smoke came out of their bodies, screaming and falling down one after another.
A total of eight red lilies were shot in one round, emptying half of the hornets that dived down. However, the leading wasp spirit was lucky, because he was in command from behind, the red lily's egg actually missed him.
Seeing that his men had suffered heavy casualties, the leading wasp spirit was furious, and led the remaining half of the hornets to swoop down from the side of the outpost, slightly towards the group of demons outside the outpost, trying to open the situation by striking at the weak link.
The wasp was eyeing a quagmire that was about three meters tall and had a slimy, wet appearance. Seeing that the wasp spirit was aiming at him, the quagmire monster suddenly shrank into a ball in fright, and the wasp spirit roared down neatly. The slender forelimbs turned into charging blades, and the forelimbs of the leading wasp spirit smoothly split the ooze monster in two. The hornets behind obviously did not do less such actions, and the dense cone formation brought the impact into full play. More than 500 hornets swept through the group of demon teams, except for a few on the periphery that were beaten down by agile monsters, most of them rushed through smoothly, and the unorganized group of demon teams was suddenly rushed through a gap.
The quagmire that was swept into two pieces first wailed, but it was not dead, and the upper body that fell down stretched out its arm to hug its lower body, and then pressed the upper and lower bodies together with his hands. That's right, just press it together. Then the whole body begins to gurgle and bubble, and in an instant it will return to its original state. The ooze monster with his limbs stretched out touched the wound on his belly that no longer existed and was afraid for a while: "It hurts, it's not fun at all." As soon as he shrunk his neck, he hid back in the team, but the other demons didn't have such resilience as it, looking at the scattered team, and dodging in all directions.
The hornets that swept through the demons continued to rush towards the sentry team that was waiting for a tight formation, although the number of sentinels was small, but the formation was tight, and the leading wasp spirit saw that the formation in front of him was as immobile as a mountain, so he pulled up and rushed towards the sky, avoiding the fate of being pierced into a hedgehog.
The hornets behind did not have this ability, and they collided with spears and shields one after another, stacking two layers of shields to rely on each other, although the guards trembled with their arms and even their entire bodies, but this was the result of the enemy's life in exchange, which was a big advantage, and tried their best to maintain the formation.
The hornets in the back saw that a large number of people were dead in front of them, and finally had time to pull up and fly upward, or turn left and right, avoiding the fate of continuing to die. But by this time dozens of hornets had already been killed
The wasp spirit hovering in the air stared firmly at the sentry team below with compound eyes, and found that there was a small gap in the middle of the sentry formation, and Tiger Thorn Mei was standing there, so he pinched his fingers with both hands to cast spells, turning into a humanoid state wearing gold and black armor, thin legs and thin arms, holding two thin swords. Avoiding a string of peas flying from the watchtower, folded his wings, and swooped down with gravity, the tiger thorn plum saw the other party coming, and shouted: "Plum blossom array, scatter."
The sentinel's circular array suddenly dispersed, pushing away the hornet's corpse in the outer ring, and instantly transformed into a plum blossom array of three, the plum blossom array was a little worse than the circular array's ability to defend against the outside, but the ability to defend the sky and the interior was excellent.
The wasp spirit in black and yellow armor swooped down, aiming straight at the place where the tiger thorn plum, when there was only about ten meters away, the tiger thorn plum flashed to the side, the body of the wasp spirit slammed into the ground, splashing a lot of dust, the dust had not fallen, several sentries near the landing point had stabbed the spear in their hands, but the wasp spirit was separated by a thin sword, the wasp spirit took advantage of the situation to swing the spear, bullying forward, another thin sword stabbed at the sentry in the chest, and the move used the old sentry to see that he was about to be stabbed, the sentry on the left raised his shield to protect his body, the shield succeeded in holding back the rapier, and the spear in the hand of the other sentry on the right stabbed the wasp element, causing it to return in vain. This is the plum blossom array, a group of three, relying on each other, one attacking, one guarding, and one supporting.
