Chapter 24: An Ode to Ice and Fire
The battle has been going on for an hour, and the sun's rays in the west have gradually dimmed, but this long-lasting offensive and defensive battle is intensifying.
"The density of monster attacks continues to increase, and a large number of monsters continue to pour out from the east, west, and north directions, and the variety has also increased, what's going on?"
Lista, who was battling monsters, also noticed this phenomenon. "Oh no, the smell of blood is too strong, and it attracts monsters that should be running elsewhere. ”
Su Ke didn't think much of it, his whole body was wrapped in raging flames, and he slashed wildly, burning everything in his path, leaving a sea of fire in his wake.
To the west of the city, a large number of black ants the size of adult hounds poured up, tearing at the corpses of monsters, their huge jaws clamping so wide that they looked like horns on the heads of bulls from a high place, and their bodies looked wet and brown with obvious patterns, which looked disgusting.
To the east, a large group of dark green spiders with twelve legs were introduced, not counting the limbs, and the body part was the size of an adult boar, and some were a few points larger than a yak, and they were also carnivorous monsters, and when they saw the corpse, they were bitten, and their mouths made strange sounds.
There are relatively few in the north, but that's only relative, and the numbers are still unstoppable.
Soon, they noticed the humans on the city wall, and some of them directly ignored the dead bodies on the ground and ran directly to the knights on the city wall.
"With a spear, stab them down. "There are so many of them that it's too late to use crossbow arrows.
"Hold on! They must not be allowed to attack. Handel shouted, the blood on his face mixed with sweat, adding a bit of heroism.
The knights picked up their spears and stabbed at the huge ants and spiders that climbed up, but they were not so easy to deal with.
The shells of these ants are extraordinarily strong, they can't be pierced without exerting all their strength, and even if they do, they can't kill them instantly, they flow white mucus from the wounds, but they still look alive, their six spiked legs firmly grasp the rough part of the wall, and the jaws are wide open and the spears that have been stabbed are against each other, and some spears are directly clamped, and then they are cut off in an instant.
The spiders on the other side are even more ferocious, their bodies are covered with dark green fluff, their black mouthparts are dripping with disgusting slime, and their eight protruding black eyes are lined up in two rows in front of their foreheads, they climb on the wall, leaving a thick spider silk behind them, and after a while, the entire wall is covered with white spider silk. This makes it even more convenient for them to walk.
These spiders will also spit out acid, and several knights who don't know the truth will be hit at once, and the acid will be spit onto their bodies, and the armor will immediately corrode a large hole, and the clothes inside will not be spared, so they can only take off their armor and shirts in a hurry to avoid erosion on the skin.
There were also three knights who were very unlucky, the acid was sprayed directly on their faces, they immediately felt an unbearable burning sensation, their eyes instantly lost sleep, they fell to the ground wailing, rolling, wiping the acid on their faces with their hands, but in an instant there was a burning pain in their hands. In less than half a minute, their faces and hands were already unrecognizable, and in some places they were revealing white bones.
"Quick, medical personnel, there are wounded soldiers, emergency treatment. The squad leaders in charge of each squad shouted loudly.
The entire city area is about 400,000 square meters, and the defense line with a total length of about 2.6 kilometers is being breached step by step, and huge ants and spiders are climbing the city walls, these guys are obviously much more dangerous than the lizard people and the bull-headed guards, not to mention, the acid of the green-haired spider alone makes people unguardable.
"Does this thing really work, will it break?" Angel looked at these monsters hurting people, her face turned blue with fright, she grabbed Aisha's arm with one hand, and pointed to the enchantment with the other and asked in horror.
"I believe in Brother Tar, it must be fine. Aisha clutched her chest, trying to calm herself.
"Sister, I'm so scared. Xiao Yueyue hugged An Jie'er's neck, and her voice changed in fright.
"Xiao Yueyue, don't be afraid, my sister is by your side!" Although An Jie'er was afraid, she still comforted Xiao Yueyue with a trembling voice.
At this moment, Handel pulled out the knight's long sword at his waist and shouted loudly: "Those who violate my homeland will be punished even if they are far away." ”
The knights drew their swords one after another, fighting these monsters without fear of death.
There are more and more huge ants and spiders, and slowly they are starting to encircle the entire city.
Lista flew to Suke's side, told him about the current situation, and said, "You go to the west to relieve the siege first, and I will go to the east and go our separate ways."
"Okay, no problem. ”
Su Ke didn't think about it so much, he only knew that there was danger in the west, so he rushed over at full speed, killing all the monsters that stood in his way along the way.
Lista's mobility is much stronger, he can use the power of the wind to fly in the air, and then use the air superiority to carry out a covering strike, as long as it is not a high-defense monster like a giant lizard, it is basically an instant kill.
Su Ke sprinted violently for a distance of about two hundred meters, and when he came to the western city wall, he immediately saw these huge black ants wading through the moat, crawling densely all over the wall, making people's scalps tingle.
Su Ke jumped up with a burst of shouts without thinking, and then his whole body instantly erupted into more intense flames, and those orange-red flames were swirling, like a blooming lotus flower, as his body fell downward, smashing into the giant ant colony.
Unless it could use magic itself, there was no creature that was not afraid of fire, and Suk rained down from the sky like a fireball, and the flames exploded along the ground, enveloping it in a radius of more than ten meters.
Those giant ants avoided one after another, colliding with each other in a panic, and instantly became a mess, some of them did not have time to run away, and were directly engulfed by the flames, they struggled and rolled in the flames, and then shrank and burned, and a stench of burnt proteins filled the four directions.
Su Ke controlled the flames around him, causing them to slowly gather, slowly revealing the outline of his human body.
Those giant ants were also irritable, they had just suffered a big loss, how could they bear it, and they rushed up towards Su Ke with huge jaws and clamps, wanting to tear Su Ke apart and devour him.
"Red Lotus Burst Flame Sword. Su Ke exhaled and raised his voice, strode his horse, held his sword in both hands and crossed the left, and then slashed sideways with a fierce swing of his sword, with a loud "boom". The flames erupted in an instant, sweeping through everything around them like a tornado.
All the giant ants that pounced on Suk were swallowed up by the flames, and those who rushed to the front were directly turned into green smoke, and the latter were reduced to coke. The flames crossed the moat and crashed into the wall, then rushed straight up, scorching the ants that crawled on it to death, and even the knights on the walls were nearly burned by the heat that rushed over their faces. The giant ants standing on the periphery were not spared, and they were swept away by this scorching shockwave, falling to the ground and struggling, their limbs atrophied from the burning, and they could not stand.
"Beasts who don't know whether they are alive or dead. Suke didn't stop, brandishing the Dawn Moon Greatsword and stabbing wildly, leaving corpses in his wake, flames burning on the corpses, emitting a foul stench.
The battle on Lista's side was much quieter in comparison, he flew directly to the city wall, only to see an afterimage leap by, using the wind spirit lightning Lista was as fast as lightning, swinging his knife to kill all the green-haired spiders in his path.
Standing on the rampart, his hands glowing with a pale blue glow, he was unusually bright on this dim evening, and the temperature around him dropped rapidly, at first taking on a white mist, and after less than two seconds it was frosting.
Lista pressed his hands against the railing of the city wall, and a cold blue light flashed in his eyes, and the wall immediately froze, quickly covering the entire wall, freezing the spider silk and the legs of the green-haired spider.
The green-haired spider screamed and struggled, and its mouth was a disgusting black slime, but to no avail.
As the cold light in Lista's eyes released again, those frozen ice surfaces began to grow ice spears, from top to bottom, quickly spreading to the entire wall, as far as the eye can see, the entire wall has become a sword mountain, interspersing all the green-haired spiders climbing on it to death, black body fluids flow out along the ice spears, dripping into the moat.
Lista jumped from the top of the city wall more than 20 meters high, his whole body was like falling ice, and with the cold air, he drew a white graceful arc in the air, and his knees were slightly bent and fell steadily to the ground.
Lista's expression was flat, without a hint of emotion, as if the gods were looking down on all living beings.
However, as a low-IQ green-haired spider, they did not understand what this meant, and they opened their huge mouthparts and pounced on Lista without knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Lista remained silent, his eyes were shining with a cold light, and a cold current with a strong wind swept by, and within a radius of a hundred meters, it was instantly white, and frost flowers fell from the air to the ground, and even the moat was frozen.
The green-haired spiders didn't even have time to curl up together, and they were all frozen straight into ice sculptures, which quickly shattered and shattered into ice with a snap of Lista's fingers.
The knights on the city walls watched all this, and they almost jumped up with excitement, and they were all amazed by the great strength of the two of them, as if as long as Suke and Lista were there, they would not be able to face any strong enemy.
