Chapter 105: Elven Iron Triangle
As the saying goes, there are more than 10,000 people, and there is no boundary, especially for insects that are several times larger than the human body. Nearly 40,000 wild beasts suddenly poured out from the northeast, east and south directions of Qiping Town, and from the vision of the Pegasus Knight in the air, it was like a black tide rushing towards Qiping Town.
In the face of such a large number of demon tides, the tentative little tricks in the early stage can no longer come in handy.
The Holy Light Technique is not useful, and these cheap scrolls can only disrupt the formation of the insects when they are smashed down. It was like throwing a small pebble into a huge wave, and there was a little splash, but these little chaos, carried by the surrounding insects, continued to rush towards the city wall.
Terrain traps don't work, and the cannon fodder of the wild beast can not only be used to charge the battle, but also to fill the trap is also very useful. The quicksand and craters were filled, and the bugs behind did not hesitate to continue their charge on the shards of their kind.
It was only when it was close to 500 yards that the Beast Wave hit the hardest of the rocks.
The five mountain giants lined up and cut off the insect's unstoppable forward. These big guys, who were nearly fifty feet tall, picked up their huge granite arms, like old farmers hoeing the fields, and smashed the army of wild beasts into the air.
The bugs had to stop and get entangled with the big granite and dirt men.
The Mountain Giants are the most powerful shield for the elves against the sea of insects. These big guys are actually a kind of mutated dwarf tree people, and even if the elves are bombed now, their number is quite rare.
Chiping Town has five such powerful legendary creatures at once, and Cesar has managed it well for many years. In Castile, this number of mountain giants, only medium-sized cities are equipped with.
Under the sweep of the five mountain giants, the Zerg's offensive was contained. The limbs and torsos of these giants were wrapped in a thick layer of granite, with only a few dirt and roots exposed in the crevices of the granite, and even a few green leaves.
The beast's slashing weapon is unmatchedly sharp, and it can slash a fully armed ranger in half. But they can't do much with rock formations that are more than ten feet thick. Many of the beasts bit and slashed at the mountain giants' ankles, some even climbing up their calves.
But apart from a few stone chips, they found nothing.
At this rate, if you want to cut off the leg of the mountain giant, you really have to show the spirit of Yugong to move mountains.
A large number of wild beasts were blocked by the mountain giants at a distance of five hundred yards, densely packed together, which gave the treants behind them an excellent opportunity to attack.
Thousands of pounds of boulder were sent into the sky by the Treants, and then slammed into the swarm in a graceful parabola, bringing up a large splinter of splintered limbs. And that's not all, the boulders that are still unabated will roll for dozens of yards in the shape of the insects before they stop, and each boulder will leave a bloody passage behind it.
The swarm has been fighting with the elves for many years, and the relevant records are passed on to the mother of the population through the genetic code. So this parent body besieging Qiping Town knows the weaknesses of this giant well. It commanded the beasts to gather at the feet of the mountain giants, looking for an opportunity to climb upwards.
The mountain giant may seem to be immensely powerful and thick-skinned, but as soon as a wild beast climbs its neck and cuts off the exposed taproot, the legendary creature will soon have to take a break.
The trunk of the Mutant Dwarf Tree Man is very low, almost a shrub. But their root system is unusually well developed, and not only can they reach a depth of fifty feet, but they are also incredibly powerful.
A dwarf tree man grows on rocky hills, and over the course of a few hundred years, his root system can pass through these rocks and hold on to them firmly. When necessary, the Dwarf Tree Man can take these granites to the ground and become a powerful mountain giant.
However, his body is relatively fragile, and is no different from that of a normal treeman. The Dwarf Tree Man is a dwarf tree on the head of a mountain giant, and is not protected by a rock layer. Because they are trees after all, they need to stretch their branches and leaves to shine in the sun.
If a beast climbs up and cuts off its trunk, the entire root system beneath it will collapse due to loss of control. It's like a human or an elf having their spinal cord cut off.
A mountain giant peaked northwest of the town of Chiping, about 800 yards from Yolanda. His name is Purr and he is not yet a thousand years old, which is quite young.
Snoring and snoring, diligent, not at all afraid of these diaphragmatic little bastards. His brain is not very good, and the dwarf tree people have this defect. For the little bugs that crawled on his body, he just waved his hand and dusted it off. But there is no good way to snort for the little bugs that crawl up from behind. He has a big waist and a round waist, and he is strong and heavy, and this kind of thing is really difficult for him.
Countless wild beasts gathered at his feet, and ants attached themselves to him, like an ant colony trying to devour an elephant.
Most of them were swept away by the snoring and waving of their hands, or stomped and knocked down. But there are always some lucky ones who climb up quickly along the back, out of reach.
The swarm's will is clear, the dwarf treemen at the top of the mountain giants, but the elves also know this. On the wall behind the purr, the elven rangers fired thousands of arrows, and these arrows shot precisely into the joints of the beasts, causing the bugs to fall.
But the rain of arrows that fell was unharmed by the snoring, he was not afraid of the slashing of insects, and the steel arrows were even more tickling. He roared and snorted, and seemed to be very pleased with the elves' assistance. Then he raised his right foot high and came a war trampling. A circular shockwave flew out, and the beasts gathered around him were shattered to pieces.
Each of the mountain giants is extremely precious, and it cannot be fallen for such a ridiculous reason.
The will of the swarm was very angry, but the elves and the treants cooperated tacitly, and it was helpless for the time being. Seeing that nothing could be done, the beasts changed their strategy, and they divided some cannon fodder to entangle the wooden heads, while the rest turned around and crowded through the gaps in the mountain giants' defensive lines, aiming at the walls of Qiping Town.
In the morning, hundreds of wild beasts only attacked the eastern wall of Qiping Town, and the elves were unharmed. But this time, the attack of tens of thousands of wild beasts almost became a three-sided encirclement.
The dwarf tree people blocked most of the beasts, but the number of beasts that leaked out was also quite impressive.
Yolanda and Turin and the others no longer have to complain that they can't catch the blame, they just hate not having three heads and six arms, and they use dozens of strong bows at the same time.
Five hundred yards were instantaneous, and the rangers had only time to shoot eight rounds of feathered arrows before the beasts had already rushed under the walls of the giant wood.
The city walls, which are more than ten feet high and several feet thick, are only something that human soldiers can look up to, but they are not a problem at all for insects.
They climb walls quite well, and they really can't use the same kind of footpads. Yolanda's squad looked down, and the arrows shot straight into the beast's face.
At this distance, there is no chance that the rangers will be lost. Stainless steel arrows plunge from the beast's compound eyes into their brains, shattering the central nervous system that controls the body's rhythms, and a single arrow can take away a bug.
But there are too many bugs, and they don't kill as fast as they come. They are not afraid of death, and perhaps the death of their own kind is exactly what they need. Beasts are evil and bloodthirsty, but on the other hand, as cannon fodder, they are quite upright. Some of the beasts scratched the tree wall with their forelimbs, and found that while they were easier to deal with than granite, digging a hole a few feet deep in the tough xylem was not something that the little claws on their chests could do.
They gave up attacking the tree wall, and countless insects piled up under the wall, and gradually built a slope. Just a few feet higher, the beasts behind them could leap to their feet and feast on the flesh of the elves - if there were no treants.
The walls of the giant trees are made of trees driven by the trees and arranged tightly together, and it looks like a tree wall with towering logs. But in reality, the tree people are also hiding in it.
When the insects approached the walls, the treemen stopped throwing stones, but gathered their branches and closed their eyes, lining up with the big trees.
But at critical moments, such as now, the wooden-looking Treants are also happy to make a sneak attack.
A lucky beast stepped on the bones of its brethren, and in two more steps, it could cross a distance of less than two feet and crush the elven girl in front of it who kept shooting arrows...... Uh, cut into pieces.
Yolanda was calm, this beast would never have a chance, its corpse would stop at a distance of 10 inches in front of his feet, and the fashion leader of Qiping Town was so confident.
She reached for the quiver behind her with her back, and her face turned pale. She now finally understood why her father was repeatedly verbose, and he had to keep the last arrow in his quiver.
There were no arrows left in the quiver, and the beast was about to jump its face, it was too late, Turin and Phobis were fighting hard, and no one noticed it. The arrogant Yolanda has a cold heart, regrets it to death, and he would have listened to his father if he knew it. If Alveta had known that Yolanda had lost her life so hastily, she would have resented herself for beating her less.
At the moment of crisis, a pair of old eyes opened on the tree wall.
"Hey!"
The old tree man stretched out his arms and slapped the small slope of the insects into a cake, and the beast that was about to jump its face became a beautiful piping flower on the cake.
The female ranger patted her chest in fear, and while changing her quiver, she gratefully shouted to her subordinates: "Thank you, Lord Canute!" ”
Master Canute stared blankly at the insects that had gathered again, and the whips formed by the branches were jerked down. The irascible beast was wounded and killed when it rubbed it, and it was neatly split in half in the middle, splattering yellow-brown blood.
"It stinks." It took a while for the old tree man to react and complained slowly.
The same scene repeats itself in various sections of the tree wall, where the treemen hiding in the walls whip the insects attached to them to pieces. The elves of Castile have been fighting the bugs for more than a thousand years, and if the mere melee beasts could break through the elven defenses, they would have perished.
The Berserk Beasts are not without the ability to deal with the Treants, who are slow to move. In between attacks, a swarm of bugs can drag the Treants out of the walls, and then be wrapped in a mass of worms.
On the city wall due east, where the swarm was most dense, the two young treants had just set their sights. They rolled on the ground, trying to shake off the bites and slashes of the bugs. But how could the wild beasts spare their lives, and in the midst of the flying sawdust, the treemen screamed loudly and hissed, and after a while they lost their breath.
But in the sawdust, two tiny seeds silently fell into the dirt and swooped deep into the ground. In a few hundred years, they will grow and awaken into treants, but they will not retain the memories of this life.
"My two people...... It became...... Seed. Master Knut was in a trance for a moment, and sighed in a sad tone, "Young man...... Engrossed. ”
"Yes!"
Yolanda, Turin, Phobis and Tiri, four young men and women, blushed with shame.
In the alliance against the Demon Tide, the synergy of the Treants and the Elves is the most important. The Treants make up for the Elves' lack of defense and strength, while the Elves make up for the Treants' agility and numerical shortcomings.
In the Iron Triangle of Mountain Giants, Treants, and Elven Rangers, Elven Ranger plays a vital role as cover. The Treants and the Beasts were just facing each other, giving their backs completely to the Elven Archers.
Whether it's the beasts that climb the mountain giants, or the bugs that swarm the treemen, the rangers on the city walls need to be killed with precision. If the elves fail to do this, then the allies are in a very dangerous situation.
The two tree men who died were of course careless because of their youth, but the rangers at the head of the city were probably even more rash than them. Perhaps the game-like annihilation of the morning made the young people impetuous. But the battlefield is not child's play, and the Zerg is not.
The four young men were ashamed of the lesson of Master Knut, and they ignored their already sore arms, calmed down, recalled the content of their usual training, and opened their bows to shoot at the swarm of bugs that were raging below.
