As if sensing the aura of danger above the city, the giant ghost-patterned soldier ants suddenly stopped, and they raised their heads almost at the same time, demonstrating the sharp pincers above their heads towards the city, and their mouths emitted a shrill hissing sound like metal rubbing.

Almost at the same time, the ghost-patterned soldier ants huddled around the giant ghost-patterned soldier ants, which were almost stacked on top of each other, were like wild horses, surging towards the city like a tide.

They crawled very fast, and in the blink of an eye they had crawled through the middle of the city wall.

The outer wall of the north city wall is designed very uniquely, the designer set the front of the city wall with a gentle slope of 80 degrees, the top of the north city wall is nearly eight meters wide, but the thickness of the bottom of the city wall is six or seven times that of the top, and the length of the city gate hole below is almost more than 50 meters, which is also the main reason why the city wall is burned five meters wide and 300 meters long under the city wall, and the city head is not completely reduced to a barbecue grill.

This type of wall is built entirely of huge stone pedestals and looks more like a solid dam.

Although the pitching frame angle of the bed crossbow does not support the vertical angle of the bed crossbow downward, during the war, in order to be able to resist the beast tide, the city defense guards naturally want to use the city head as a big killing weapon to the extreme.

So the requirements of the Dark City Defenders, the craftsmen used their brains, they fixed the bed crossbow on the huge door panel, installed a huge door shaft near the side of the wall buttress, and installed the tail of the bed crossbow with a gantry-like structure, using pulleys and ropes to directly hang the tail of the bed crossbow, so that the pitch angle of the bed crossbow fixed on the giant door panel directly increased by forty-five degrees.

The bed crossbow itself also has a pitch mount that can be adjusted 45 degrees, so although it still can't shoot vertically, there is no problem in adjusting the 80-degree downward view.

The giant ghost pattern soldier ants also felt the danger, so they let the ghost pattern worker ants rush to the front as cannon fodder, their bodies are slightly clumsy, and when the huge body climbs the city wall, every step of the six legs must be wedged deep into the rock gap, so as to stabilize the bulky body.

The base of the northern wall was fortunately very strong, otherwise it would have been plowed into a deep furrow by the belly of the giant ghost-patterned soldier ant with sharp bone spurs.

Andrew raised the butcher's tomahawk in his hand and shouted, "All the rolling stones are ready to ......"

The guards guarding the huge stone ball immediately put down their repeater crossbows, and seven or eight people gathered behind the rolling stones, shouting trumpets to push the one-man high rolling stones down the guide groove to the edge of the city wall.

The stones are almost seven feet in diameter, and the sides are inlaid with coconut-sized iron rings, and on both sides, the rings are as thick as a thumb, as if they had grown out of the rolling stones, and they are very strong.

When the guards pushed the rolling stones to the edge of the city wall, the other guards actually carried bundles of arm-thick hemp ropes from behind the city wall, each hemp rope was almost fixed in length, and there were hooks at both ends, just enough to connect the two rolling stones connected to the city wall, in order to prevent the ropes from hanging on the wall battlements, after the connection, the guards threw the rope part outside the city wall.

In this way, on the north wall of three hundred and fifty meters, there is suddenly an extra pearl necklace that can only be used by the titan giant.

"Five, four, three, two, one...... Put! ”

Andrew saw that those ghost-patterned soldier ants were about to rush up, and hurriedly gave an order.

The city defenders moved the moots, and the bayonet at the end of the guide trough sank at the same time, and with the help of the city defenders behind, more than fifty rolling stones rolled down the city wall.

Because of the arm-thick hemp rope connected to each other, the trajectory of rolling down is very limited, and it almost shows a linear crushing trend.

A loud roar came from above the ghost-patterned worker ants' heads.

Some of the rolling stones deviated from the tracks but were forcibly corrected by the hemp rope, making a creaking cracking sound.

They raised the giant pincers on their heads, and before they could see what was going on, they just saw dozens of rolling stones falling, and the ghost pattern worker ants located in front of the rolling stones were directly crushed into meat cakes by the rolling stones, and the rest of the ghost pattern worker ants were about to rush up along the gap between the rolling stones, but they were pushed down the city wall instantly by a huge thrust.

A large number of ghost-patterned worker ants were entangled, tumbling and falling under the city wall, and the rope in the middle of them stirred a large number of worker ants together, and some of the ghost-patterned worker ants also became fragmented during the rolling.

The eleven giant ghost-patterned soldier ants in the middle of the city wall wedged their six legs deep into the wall almost at the same time, and their bodies remained only attached to the wall, and they even tilted their huge tentacles against the wall.

Some rolling stones roared past the giant ghost pattern soldier ants, and the ghost pattern worker ants that were stirred and entangled by the hemp rope collided with the giant soldier ants' body, and suddenly became fragmented, and the sharp spikes on the back of the giant soldier ants directly cut off the thick hemp rope of the arm, losing the restraint of the rope, and the rolling stones suddenly rolled down in twos and threes, and the power was suddenly much smaller.

Some rolling stones crushed past the ghost-patterned soldier ants, but they were resisted by the strong armor on the giant soldier ants, and the rolling stones hit the body of the giant soldier ants and bounced up instantly.

The hard carapace of the giant ant also made a clattering sound at the same time, but it did not knock the giant ant off the wall, and only suffered some damage caused by crushing.

A round of rolling stones rushed down, and the upper part of the wall was as clean as if it had been cleaned.

The ghost-patterned soldier ants were entangled with the ropes, and the broken legs began to struggle in vain.

And those giant soldier ants have pulled out the legs inserted in the stone crevices and climbed up towards the top of the city wall again, and the tide of ghost-patterned worker ants behind them has surged up again.

Andrew at the head of the city shouted again: "The bed crossbow is ready to ......"

This time it was the sound of the bowstring tauting, and with the last sound of the winch, it also stopped abruptly, and all the bed crossbows were ready.

Andrew stood on the battlement, looked at the ant colony that continued to press up, and shouted, "Three, two, one...... Put! ”

Eleven bed crossbows with a magical glimmer of light shot out with the sound of breaking wind.

When the danger was approaching, the giant soldier ants almost simultaneously raised their tentacles more than half a meter long above their heads, and before they could hiss, they saw eleven giant crossbow arrows with a string of magical glow from their tails piercing into the body of the giant soldier ants.

When the blade of the crossbow blade sliced through the hard exoskeleton of the giant soldier ant, it was inserted almost without hindrance.

After these giant soldiers fell from the city wall, their bodies became stiff, and juice kept gushing out of their bodies, and when they fell below the city, the city head suddenly let out a thunderous cheer.

Only two giant soldier ants were lucky, one giant crossbow arrow cut off one of its tentacles and flew out against its head, only to cut a long wound on its head, and the other bed crossbow simply missed, and the giant crossbow flew past the body of the giant soldier ant......

The two giant soldier ants, with a swarm of ghost-patterned red ants, continued to climb towards the city.

The city guards standing on the city wall hurriedly withdrew their bed crossbows, and threw hooks towards the city, just before the giant soldier ant corpses were submerged by the ant tide, hooked their bodies, and hung the ropes on the pulleys of the gantry, everyone worked together to force these giant soldier ants who were almost drowned in the ant colony.

Some nimble ghost-patterned worker ants tried to continue climbing with the help of ropes, but were shot down by a row of arrows fired from the city's head.

As the archers fired a large number of arrows, the ghost-patterned worker ant charge under the city was once again suppressed.

Looking at the giant soldier ants that fell up with the hook, Andrew exclaimed on the city wall, "These magic crossbow arrows are so useful!" ”

Surdak looked at the hook stuck at the head of the city, and several city guards took long hooks to pull the giant soldier ants in from outside the city, and then said with a sigh: "Such a giant crossbow arrow costs forty-five silver coins, if you can kill a giant soldier ant for every shot, it is worth it." If you can get it back, it's even more cost-effective. ”

Andrew also grinned and said, "Two crossbow arrows are worth one gold coin, which is really a bit expensive." ”

Another rain of arrows was shot from the head of the city.

The two giant soldier ants finally climbed up to the top of the city under the rain of arrows, and as soon as the heads of the giant soldier ants showed the city wall, they spat out a large patch of acid into the city wall.

A group of heavy infantry hurriedly held their shields and retreated to both sides of the city wall, half of the body of the giant soldier ant emerged, and the tentacle pincers on the top of the head began to clip towards a heavy infantryman.

The vicious tooth sliced through his helmet, and the tentacles cut a hole in his slightly bulging shoulder pads.

Seeing the corpses of several of the same kind lying flat on the head of the city, the giant soldier ants struggled to climb over the city walls, and the bed crossbow at the head of the city still had to resist the ant colony under the city, and could not immediately turn around to deal with the big one, but before it could launch a second round of attacks, a giant axe wrapped in flames on it, just like that, it fell into the sky, and an axe slashed into the most vulnerable gap between its skull and sternum.

The bones here are the most fragile, and the blade of the axe is extremely sharp, and it splits a hole in an instant, and a large amount of light brown blood suddenly spurts out from the neck of the giant soldier ant.

It didn't even see the figure, it felt like a person was stepping on its back, it wanted to flip the person to the ground, but unfortunately it was not ready, it felt like it couldn't control its body, it saw that the whole world was spinning, and there was even a huge body next to it that was spurting blood and slowly falling.

The body looked like itself, and it wanted to lower its head to make sure, but it could only let itself spin and roll......

Andrew jumped from the giant ant's body and used his axe to slash off the huge legs Surdak needed.

At the same time, Surdak also personally slashed the giant soldier ant with broken pincers.

A large number of worker ants are being shot by the rain of arrows every moment under the city.

More worker ants pounced on the city wall, and ordinary ghost-patterned soldier ants rushed up one after another, and soon the archers on the head of the city had a tendency to be unable to suppress the ant colony.

Having lost the protection of the wall of fire, the hoplites wanted the archers to bring in more ghostly ants so that they could take more merit on the battlefield.

The archers were still willing to help with such a request, but unfortunately everyone actually underestimated the combat effectiveness of the ghost pattern soldier ants, so that the number of soldiers who poured into the city this time exceeded the soldiers' ability to bear it.

At the head of the city, except for the archers and crossbow shooters who stood in front of the arrow tower and the city wall, they still used a row of shots to suppress the red ants under the city wall.

Soon, the city was plunged into a scuffle.

Although the scene was a bit chaotic, Surdak and Andrew were both on the city wall, and almost all the veterans in the cavalry battalion who had reached a turn of strength followed Andrew, these cavalrymen had rich combat experience, and when they saw the tense situation in the city, they immediately relied on the bed crossbow and began to work hard to clean up these ordinary ghost-patterned soldiers.

The walls were already covered with sour rot, and from time to time a veteran with an ice rhino horn knife would jump out, and a few cavalrymen would follow him in the battle against the ghost-patterned red ants.

In the cavalry battalion, this kind of improvised battle group is very common, and it is also very handy to deal with the ghost pattern soldier ants.

These ghost-patterned soldier ants are indeed extremely powerful, but due to their large bodies, their movements are also very clumsy.

As long as a few cavalrymen divide two to attract the attention of the ghost pattern soldier ants, the others take the opportunity to contain the ghost pattern soldier ants, and the veteran who has been promoted to a turn can cut off the head of the ghost pattern soldier ants by carrying a single-edged axe and jumping directly to its back.

It's just that the number of ghost pattern soldiers and ants released this time is too large, and the entire city wall is almost in a melee, although the mercenaries who signed the temporary battle assistance agreement are all more than one turn of the warriors, but at the moment at the head of the city, they can only guard their defensive section, and they can't kill them at all.

Andrew ran around the city walls to fight fires.

Even with such a crisis on the city walls, Surdak still did not send reinforcements from the side of the barracks.

The archers and crossbowmen at the head of the city were almost all struggling to suppress the ghost-patterned worker ants that climbed up from below the city, and the thirty-five bed crossbows did not twist the turntable to relieve the pressure on the heavy infantry, cavalry and mercenaries who were in a bitter battle on the city, and they were still constantly looking for the ghost-patterned soldier ants hiding in the ant colony, so as not to give them a chance to climb the city.

Following Andrew's order, the city guards once again pushed the prepared rolling stones from the rear end of the wall to the front along the guide trough, ready to attach tough thick hemp ropes and plow the ant colony that was climbing the wall in one fell swoop.

Surdak shimmered with an aura of power at his feet, holding a blood-red crescent moon and carrying a dwarven chain shield.

Every time he waved the blood crescent, the chest. In front of them, the power of holy light lit up along a certain pattern, and this power was instantly injected into the blood-red crescent, and the sharp blood-red crescent blade touched the ghost-patterned soldier ant, just like a red-hot iron bar touching a candle, and the hard carapace completely melted away in an instant.

The power of the Holy Light itself is very restrained by the ghost-patterned red ants, and coupled with Surdak's newly comprehended interpretation of the 'Knight Sacred Seal' in dragon language, each sword will easily cut through the hard carapace of the ghost-patterned soldier ants.

Probably seeing a large number of ghost-patterned soldier ants rushing up to the north city wall, the new ant queen who was swimming low in the canyon in the distance felt that the ant colony had a chance to attack the north city wall.

So it let out a series of piercing screams from behind, and the sound of that sound would give people a headache to hear.

It urged the ant colony in the canyon to attack, and the ghost-patterned red ants in the entire canyon were in a commotion, forming a charging formation like a wave, surging towards the northern city wall in waves.
