Chapter 738: The Sticking Emerald Wood Fortress (Ask for a Recommendation Ticket!Ask for a Monthly Pass!)
"How are they going to defend themselves?" thought the communications man. He took a sip of warm water from his leather bag and followed behind the commander-in-chief of the Confederate forces. He had already reported to Green the information on the monster army, and the commander-in-chief had incorporated it into his communications team.
"The Black Willow Swamp is not suitable for large armies, even for monsters. So their only option was to lay down our 'floating land' and march through that swampy passage to another 'floating land'. ”
Green's words were logical, and he was confident in the walled city that stood in the outermost part of the swamp. But the communications soldier was still a little uneasy. The walls of this walled city are still too low, and there are not many ballistas and other defense machinery.
As if sensing the communications soldier's doubts, after inspecting the defense of the walled city, Green said to him loudly so that more people could hear it: "We don't have many soldiers, and we also lack solid walls and complete defense machinery like Emerald Wood City, but that doesn't mean we don't have defensive forces or weapons, as you'll see." ”
"I think I can see," the communications soldier grinned, baring his teeth, "I'll wait for them to arrive." ”
Two hourglasses later, an army of monsters descended on the city. They swept along the way, surging like a stream of water into a narrow channel. Raven people, reef claw monsters, weeping horses' heads, ten-armed octopuses, and the newly created one-eyes beasts of the emperor jostle each other and rush to the outer walls of the walled city. Green stood on the watchtower, observing the scene below.
"Damn it...... I'm afraid they're close to 10,000. The messenger cursed in a low voice. An army of monsters filled the small plain in front of the outermost walled city of the Black Willow Swamp, and it looked like a large wave of flesh swept forward with weapons. Their previous encounter was so intense that his estimate of the number of monster pawns was a bit skewed.
"It's a lot," echoed him, along with Grimm and the other generals of the Emerald Fortress, as the defenders of Emerald City call the floating fortress, "but it doesn't matter. The soldiers will block, and the water will flood. ”
Grimm took his well-wound crossbow and aimed at a one-eyed beast ready to throw stones into the walled city. The bowstring reset, making a "bang" sound, and the hollowed-out crossbow bolts tore through the air and emitted a piercing chirp. The archers, who had been preparing for a long time, bent their bows and arrows to gather fire on the target set by the commander-in-chief, and the rain of arrows fell on the one-eyed beast that rushed to the front.
"Leave the ordinary monsters alone, all archers, crossbowmen, and furious gunners are free to attack the one-eyed beasts, and don't let them approach our walled walls!
Soon, the "vanguard" of the monster army, the one-eyed giant, was fiercely attacked.
The monsters resembled misshapen, muscular humanoids, with a large bloodshot eye on their face and short jagged horns on their eyebrows. Their bodies resemble tall and sturdy giants, but the lower half of their bodies resemble half-sheep men who have magnified many times. The legs are arched back, and there are stiff hooves with split toes.
Under the dense rain of arrows, although they tried their best to resist with the mace in their hands, many missed arrows still burrowed into their bodies. It would be nice to shoot them in the body, after all, these guys were all thirty feet tall and weighed nearly eight thousand pounds, and those arrows would not be able to penetrate their flesh even with armor-piercing arrows.
However, there were some arrows that hit the fragile eyes of some of the Cyclops. It's fine to say if you get shot directly, but if you don't, those behemoths that are furious because of the pain will become a nightmare for the other monsters around them. They will attack everything around them indiscriminately, while also throwing allies at random as stones.
The commander who led this army was none other than the latest created robber. He himself was a cloud giant merchant, and later worshiped the emperor's door to learn spells.
After being transformed into a robbery general, Cai Tongtian's appearance has changed a lot. His powdery blue skin had grown deeper, his fingers and toes had grown claws, and the fangs in his mouth had jutted out of his lips, like a lowly orc.
It's just that he doesn't care about it, and as the price of gaining power, the change in appearance is completely acceptable to him.
After the resurrection, Cai Tongtian not only used his business talent to serve the emperor, but also contributed the powerful class of one-eyed monsters to the monster army - he personally collected more than 100 hill giants, and then twisted them with the power of the emperor, and finally created the one-eyed giant. As the creator of such monsters, Cai Tongtian knows their habits very well.
"Stand back! Stand back, you idiots, duck behind and throw stones. The Doom waved his arm, and on his wrist was a bracelet made from the spine of a cyclops, a spell item that he could use to give orders to the cyclops.
Affected by the spell, most of the cyclops quickly retreated to the rear of the army, where there were throwing stones specially prepared for them. It's just that there are two one-eyed beasts that were blinded, and because they fell into a beastly rage, they didn't listen to the dispatch of Cai Tongtian at all. "Useless waste," the general snorted coldly, and R appeared beside them, ripping their throats at once.
Immediately after, Cai Tongtian stretched out his finger and chanted a spell in the direction of the Emerald Wood Fortress. The black willow swamp on the periphery of the floating ground suddenly rose steam, and the white clouds and mist rushed over in an instant, enveloping the entire fortress. "Be blind, you can't take care of each other, see how you deal with the siege of our army!" laughed the general, he was very satisfied with his plan.
After doing this, Cai Tongtian waved his palm.
The army of monsters behind him immediately surged into the tide, and the aquatic monsters such as the Reefclaw and the Drooping Horsehead all moved forward silently, diving into the swamp and attacking the Emerald Fortress from both flanks.
The Raven Men carried their shields made of planks and leather to protect their figures, and as the main attack on the gates, the ten-armed octopuses were protected by the Raven Men, who would use their spells to blast open the walls and gates of the fortress.
As for the one-eyed beasts that ran to the back of the team, they all picked up the round throwing stones at this time, and put on a throwing pose, only to wait for the other monsters to get close to the city wall, and they would use the flying stones to suppress the counterattack of the fortress defenders at the sound of the command.
Seeing that everything was ready, Cai Tongtian snapped his fingers, and the clouds and mist that shrouded the emerald wood fortress dissipated.
