Just when Tang Ruiyi was in high spirits and was about to take the opportunity to teach the newly canonized guards some basic swordsmanship skills, the alarm bell of the watchtower suddenly sounded in the distance!

Unless they find an unstoppable enemy, the patrol will not sound the alarm.

"Inform a group of men who are capable of fighting to gather in front of the castle. He said to the newly canonized guard, then took a deep breath, and in an instant he entered the state of a blood lizard, his bloody bone wings spread high, and he jumped and glided into the air, leaving Atail stunned.

In the training ground in the direction of the castle, Tomil was sweating profusely, and with abundant nutrition and adequate exercise, he began to develop towards a sturdy boy.

After hearing the buzzing sound, he took a towel to wipe off the sweat, and the excitement in his eyes was clear.

"Has this day finally come?"

He put on his equipment and immediately walked out of the castle backyard and drove towards the city walls, when suddenly he walked in the direction of the wheat field, and a bold idea took shape in his mind.

When Tang Ruiyi arrived at the castle, the militia was already in place, and the three hundred-man phalanx stood under the platform, and the spears raised were glistening in the cold, which made him feel a little relieved that so many gold coins had not been in vain.

The 13th Infantry Division of the fully armed infantry is on standby, the previous careful preparation has played a huge role, all twenty people silently checked the weapons and equipment, and finally put on the shiny helmet, the equipment created in the blacksmith shop and the dwarven Mithril Hall is always the best, and the attributes are already [Kingdom Infantry: Life 120, Attack 4-5, Low Armor, No Magic Resistance, Medium Speed]

The approaching roar of rage unsettled everyone.

A new campaign has begun, and the system has appropriately sent a hint:

Our territory is prosperous, thank you, Your Majesty, but if you want to continue to grow, you must open a safe passage to the outside and defeat the spider army! The first stop on your journey will be the abandoned swamp mines, which are the nests of eight-legged insects entrenched in the mines, and in order to assist in your victory, we have sent our most elite soothsayers to offer a chance to use the forbidden spell of the rain of fire from the sky. 】

[Terrain: Forest, swamp.] Mission Type: Defensive Warfare. Difficulty: Easy. Rewards: Advanced Artillery Design Blueprints, Special Buildings, Brood Design Blueprints, 1 Item, 200 Gold Coins. 】

[Hint, there are many types of spiders, don't take it lightly.] 】

"Whew, defensive warfare, and the support of a large forbidden art. ”

He exhaled and looked in the direction of the jungle at the mouth of the gorge, and after the enhanced vision, he could clearly see a group of huge black figures slowly moving forward, and he estimated the number, about twenty.

Savaka walked slowly over with his wand in his hand, saluted, and reported, "Your Majesty, the attacker is a spider entrenched in the Silver Oak Forest. ”

"Spiders, why did they leave the forest?"

"The reason for this is not clear," Sakava explained, shaking his head, "and they went berserk without warning, and several of the patrolmen have been murdered. ”

In a sense, large spiders are not as threatening as small spiders, because the toxins in their bodies have been diluted by too much bodily fluid.

Tang Ruiyi carefully observed for a while, and found that the individuals in the spider group were indeed large and small, at least they could distinguish individual differences, and what was even more strange was that they did not seem to leave voluntarily, at least he saw that there was still some white silk left in the lower body of a spider, which seemed to have left suddenly halfway through the web.

"Could it be...... Someone drove them away?"

Saka cavillated for a moment, then lowered his head as if feeling something.

"Your Majesty, I feel the surge of dark magic," Sakawa leaned over nervously, "I probably understand why there are different kinds of spider swarms acting, they must have been manipulated by some kind of magic. ”

When he thought of the spider, Tang Ruiyi thought of the Twilight Elf, and he nodded, "Can you find out who did it?"

"It's difficult, it's the first time I've seen this kind of magic, although these spiders have a very low IQ, but if you want to tame such a number of spiders, I'm afraid the opponent will not be able to deal with them. ”

"Okay, then you try to find a way to create a source of interference," Tang Ruiyi nodded and said, "Let Shenfeng try the strength of these spiders first." ”

One of the fastest spiders was the first to enter the range of the bow tower, and without the slightest hesitation, the ready-to-go Shenfeng and the other three archers (one more from the watchtower) stood in the cold wind, they didn't even blink their eyelids, they roughly estimated the distance The arrow was like a wild horse, and the four arrows pulled out a graceful arc side by side to hit the big spider accurately.

Just like an eggshell shattering, an arrow pierced the chitin shell, and Tang Ruiyi even heard a pop of flesh and blood splashing in his head.

The big spider paused, the foreign object in its body made it itch and hurt, but it was still moving forward with pain.

Gu Bo was not shocked in Shen Feng's eyes, and he squirmed his lips: "Arrow!" The assistant on the side hurriedly put an arrow on the bow, and soon shot two waves in succession.

As the distance approached, the accuracy and power of the arrows gradually increased, with one of the arrows landing precisely on the spider's compound eye and the other into the target's leg.

However, instead of yelling angrily or speeding up, it just howled twice and continued to push slowly.

Such a terrifying ability to resist blows stunned everyone.

Without waiting for Shenfeng to detect, he had already passed the monster book, and he also knew the attributes of the big spider:

[Big spiders, huge size is their best weapon, health 256/300, attack 1-3, low armor, low magic resistance, slow speed. 】

Usually the blood volume of monsters is directly proportional to speed, and the blood volume of this spider is five or six times higher than that of its kind, and I am afraid that it is not far from the average leader.

Seeing that the big spider was about to climb out of the shooting range of the bow and arrow tower, Tang Ruiyi shouted: "The militia is attacking!"

During the Battle of Storm Gorge, he found that the militia's combat effectiveness was extremely low, and even if they were equipped with good weapons, they could not exert their due strength at all.

After thinking hard, he remembered that there was a type of army that was very active in the European battlefield, and the Mongols encountered great obstacles from them in the process of conquering Europe, that is, ———— tower shield soldiers evolved from the Qin warriors who "held iron shields, were heavily armored, and laid out phalanxes" during the Warring States Period, but they did not receive attention in the era of competition between the heroes and gradually disappeared.

In view of the extremely strong defensive characteristics of this class, Tang Ruiyi simply asked the blacksmith shop to build a large number of steel tower shields, so that they could be used exclusively for defense, anyway, the excess iron ore could not be used up at all (copper ore had to be used to build farm tools).

The tower shield soldiers use huge tower shields and short spears as their main weapons, and they belong to the melee infantry that is purely biased towards defense, with weak attack power, but extremely strong defense, and when using the shield defense, the front is almost invincible, which can be called the king of defense. However, the weak back is the weak point of the tower shields.

Seeing that the speed of the big spider did not decrease at all, it was moving forward with eight legs alternately.

"Form a shield wall!"

Forty militiamen held shields in the middle of the narrow road, and there was a loud bang! All the tower shield soldiers slammed down, and the iron shields in their hands were seamlessly combined layer by layer, and a huge iron wall three meters long and ten meters wide appeared, which looked sparkling in the sunlight.

The unabated big spider crashed into the tower shield in a daze, its forelimbs shattered directly under the huge impact, and its entire body was tightly attached to the shield wall.

"Hold on!"

At least three tons of pressure was shared by forty tower shield soldiers, and even so, Atail, who was standing at the front, still felt a huge force rushing at him, and his position holding the shield handle was hot and painful.

The same thing is said over and over again in my head: "Steady, steady, don't retreat." ”

Even in the safest place, he still couldn't stop his heart beating, through the small hole in the shield, he saw the whole picture of the big spider———— the horns of the demonic spiral, the big crow stained with pus, and the dense compound eyes, he thought that he was a brave man who had been in battle for a long time, but today for the first time in the face of such a terrifying monster, he still felt his legs tremble.

But at the thought of being chosen by His Majesty the King to be the guard, Atayl tried to pretend to be calm, resisting the onslaught from the front with all his might.

The combined force of forty people was finally stopped by the attack of the great spider, and it flicked its limbs helplessly, plowing furrows in the ground.

"Fight back!"

Atayir's mind went blank, and when he heard the order, he subconsciously stabbed with all his might, and the spear pierced deep into the abdomen of the great spider through the hole in the shield, and it was also the only place where he was not covered by a carapace.

"Roar!" the spider let out an earth-shattering roar, and the green bodily fluids spurted wildly, splashing onto the shield with a clattering sound, and the internal organs and eggs flowed all over the ground.

At this time, the rain of arrows from behind also fell, hitting the target accurately.

"-10, -10, -40, -10, -40, -40, -10, -10, dodge!"

A series of injury prompts appeared on Tang Ruiyi's retina, and a militiaman seemed to be too nervous, and with a slip of his hand, the spear actually grazed the carapace and stabbed out.

However, although the Great Spider has lost quite a lot of blood, only an archer like Shenfeng can hit the abdomen twice in a row and deal a high damage of 40 points

The rest of the big spiders saw their dying kind, and they rushed over with a roar of rage.

The tower shield soldiers who didn't have time to change their formation were rushed to pieces, and although the follow-up troops had quickly stepped forward to support, two people were still crushed to death on the spot!

Several large spiders spit out a thin pale white thread from their mouths and stuck to the tree, and a huge web instantly formed, sealing the retreat of the tower shield soldiers.

Everyone knows that spiders can spin silk and form webs, but Tang Ruiyi never thought that the big spider could not even break free from an adult!

It was terrible! Even if he was besieged by twenty large spiders trapped in a web, he might not be able to hold on.

Then there was a loud bang, and the Demon Crystal Furnace, which had been burning for half a month, finally revealed its hideous face, and the extremely compressed energy crystals were like tassels falling from the sky, and the terrifying impact blew up the big spiders in all directions, and the severed limbs and remnants flew everywhere.

Before Tang Ruiyi could breathe a sigh of relief, a small mound suddenly protruded on the ground, followed by a huge red spider out of the hole, Tang Ruiyi swore that even in the most terrifying thriller, he had never seen such an ugly and fierce thing! Its carapace was covered with skull red spots, and every foot was as red as if soaked in blood.

[Bladefoot spiders, ferocious spiders, they have blade-like feet, separated like a well-forged sword, health 70, attack 8-12, no armor, high magic resistance, speed. 】

The unsuspecting tower shield soldiers screamed one after another, which was extremely harsh!

Then there was the sound of arrows breaking through the air, and the roar of the Crystal Furnace.

Tang Ruiyi immediately woke up, high attack and low blood, a typical assassin-like monster! Regardless of the safety of the remaining tower shield soldiers, he quickly ordered the fire scorpion heavy trebuchet to be launched, if these terrible dark killers were allowed to break through the defense line, God knows how many more people would die! He got up and jumped outside the city wall, and when he looked at it, he found that the rear of the tower shield soldiers was being attacked by a large group of blade-foot spiders!

The speed of the bladefoot spider attack was extremely fast, and the indestructible iron shield was like paper paste in front of them, and some of the bladefoot spiders directly crossed the defense of the tower shield and slaughtered into the dense formation.

For a time, the screams were screaming, and the flames of blood and fire were pervasive.

Boom!

A blade-footed spider jumped and scurried across the two trees, stopping between the remnants of the tower shield soldiers, and the sharp blades swept across, and several people clutched their necks in disbelief, and a red line of blood appeared.

The tower shield soldiers who fought bloodily mixed with the spiders, Tang Ruiyi pulled out the flail of dysentery (changed), and roared as he ran: "The 13th Infantry Division, charge with me!"

By the time they reached the battlefield, the battle had been crumbling, with the sound of wailing wounded and chewing bones.

Guilt and anger mixed together, and his heart was like a knife, if he hadn't miscalculated the battle situation, these tower shield soldiers would not have died in vain.

At this time, a blade-legged spider that was eating turned its compound eyes, and when it saw Tang Ruiyi, it first froze, and then it was controlled by bloodthirsty desire, and it climbed along the huge spider web.

Seeing the Bladefoot Spider crawl above his head and fly up, it was responded to by a terrifying scorching sword aura, and the Bladefoot Spider tried to block it with its footblade, but it didn't know that the blade that was covered by the Force had completely ignored its defenses.

With a click, the blade flew out, and the sword slashed into the head of the blade-footed spider, splitting in two! The tenacious vitality made it not die for a while, and the hairy blade was still twitching.

After a little anger in his heart, he gradually calmed down, knowing that blind anger could not solve the problem, at this moment the way ahead was almost blocked by cobwebs, this flexible material was almost invulnerable, he tried it with the Force, and found that although it worked, the speed of cracking was too slow, and I was afraid that when he finished cracking it, all the people inside would die.
