Chapter 36: Thunder
Angmar and Valinor quickly rushed to the city wall, and found that a large number of beasts had emerged from the Black Forest in Mahan, most of them were two-star and one-star beasts, but there were also several huge four-star beasts.
Beast tide.
There have been a limited number of events in Minnas's records, and the most serious one occurred more than a thousand years ago, when the scale of the beast tide was finally managed to stop by the strength of the four great powers.
In the third year of the Five-Year War, some scholars of the Mahan Kingdom had already raised concerns that the atmosphere of the war would affect the beasts of the Black Forest, and eventually form a tide of beasts.
This is evidenced by the recent ferocity of the beasts.
Therefore, Surian City itself has another mission, which is to monitor the Black Forest, hoping to alert the Beast Tide in advance when it is formed.
Unfortunately, this time the beast tide did not have any warning.
The beast began to storm the city.
Fortunately, the city was built as a fortress at the beginning, and it was designed to last for months under siege.
Therefore, no matter which side it is, the city of Sindor is heavily guarded.
After the beast tide rushed out of the Black Forest, it was discovered by the guards from the north and east, and both walls immediately entered a state of combat readiness, and were blocked before the beast tide rushed to the city.
Beasts are not good at sieges, but there are many types of beasts that can threaten the safety of the walls, and when several huge pangolin-like beasts crash into the walls, the defenders on the walls have to start using the large defensive equipment used in regular warfare.
Rolling stones, hot oil, asphalt, these are all designed to deal with siege troops, and this is the perfect time to deal with the beasts that can destroy the walls.
No matter how powerful the beast is, it is no match for an organized human army, especially when the weapons of war are used.
When those huge steam cannons roared and exploded, the threat of the beast tide seemed less great.
Prince Angmar stood on top of the command tower in Weng City, his eyes swept across the entire battlefield like lightning, and his brows were tightly locked: "These beast tides are commanded!" ”
"Huh?" Valino raised his eyebrows, "How so?" ”
"These beast tides are approaching at the least cost, and the beasts that are dying now are either against the walls or those who are weak. The beast that was really threatening didn't move in the back. This is not something that the wisdom of the beast can do. With the habits of beasts, the more powerful the beast, the more qualified it is to take action first. More than eighty percent of those beasts with more than three stars have not moved! ”
Angmar could see through the situation in the beast tide at a glance.
"But who can control the beast tide?" Valino shook his head, "Beasts don't listen to people!" Even a beast tamer can control a few beasts at most, and that's already the top. It is impossible to control the tide of beasts. ”
After thinking about it, Valinor's face changed slightly: "Could it be that the legendary beastmaster has appeared again?" ”
A thousand years ago, the super-large beast tide that gathered the power of the four countries to subside was rumored to be so difficult to deal with because of the appearance of the Beastmaster.
As if to confirm Valino's words, not long after he finished speaking, he saw a huge roar like a whistle suddenly sound from the direction of the Black Forest, and a huge beast like a small mountain emerged from the Black Forest.
The giant beast was more than ten meters tall, with long metallic thorns on its back, three long horns on its head, and limbs as thick as pillars, and the whole earth was shocked with every step it took.
Roar!
Another roar like a whistle.
In the roar of the giant beast, the beasts became more violent as if they had been stimulated, and the beast herds of more than three stars that had not moved all this time also began to move, and more and more beasts launched attacks towards Sindor City.
The speed at which the steam cannon destroys the beasts can't even keep up with the speed at which these beasts are pouring out of the Black Forest.
"That's the Beastmaster!" Valino's face changed dramatically.
Angmar immediately threw his cloak back: "Bring my weapon, I'll kill this beastmaster!" ”
He Dewen immediately presented Angmar's gorgeous horse chopping knife, the huge blade reflecting the cold light.
"He Dewen, you command the city defense battle in my place!" Prince Angmar said.
He Dewen immediately took the order.
The two cloaked men stood silently beside Angmar. Valino also took off his gorgeous outer robe, revealing the soft armor inside: "It's been a long time since I've fought with you!" ”
"You're going too?" Prince Angmar looked at Valinor in surprise.
Valino smiled, "You either let He Dewen go with you, or me." Which one do you think is better suited to direct the live battle, me or Hodwin? Let me start by saying that I'm not good at tactical command! ”
Prince Angmar smiled: "Then you follow!" ”
Valino held the long sword: "Don't worry, although it is only four stars, at least it will not be a burden to you!" ”
With that, the four of them flew down the city wall, stepping on the head of the beast and rushing towards the beast.
The giant beast sensed the approach of the four people very keenly, bowed its back from a distance, and then shot two spear-like long thorns like a military bed crossbow.
The four Angmar were shocked, it was the first time they had seen such an attack.
"Be careful!" Angmar shouted, raised the horse chopping knife in his hand, and slashed it down.
The slashing knife is also a high-level magic weapon produced by the Steam Empire, and the psionic crystal in the knife is activated, flashing with pale green light, forming a huge sword shadow, slashing towards the long thorn that shoots out.
Cut it in two.
The long spike that reflected the metallic luster was actually metal, and Angmar slashed open a spike that shot at him, and the blade made a screeching sound of metal breaking.
"This beast is quirky, be careful!" Angmar reminded loudly.
The two cloaked men who had been following Angmar like ghosts stretched out their silver-white swords in their hands, dancing in the wind to block the little beasts that pounced on Angmar.
The magic sword in Valino's hand also flashed red, and he slashed two three-star beasts: "You go and kill the beastmaster, and we will block the other beasts!" ”
Angmar nodded, and rushed towards the beast.
The beast roared angrily when it saw Prince Angmar rushing towards him, and a dazzling flash of thunder flashed on its body. The long thorns on the back of the giant beast were like arrays of spears, and blue and white thunder danced on the tips of the spears.
Angmar realized that this giant beast was not a normal beast at all, and there was no breath of life in the eyes of the giant beast looking up at him, only mechanical coldness.
Spikes of thunder rained down on Angmar.
