The wind in the canyon seemed to blow out the torches on the ramparts, and the flames on the twine-soaked twine were tenacious, and the flames made a fierce sound in the wind.

The ghost red ants emitted a sour smell that became clearer and clearer as the colony approached the walls.

They kept opening and closing the giant pincers on their heads, and the bone armor kept rubbing against each other, making a 'click' sound, and when this sound was connected, it made people feel a kind of shiver from the cracks in the bones.

The sense of oppression brought by those huge ghost-patterned soldier ants is far more terrifying than that of steppe lions and jungle tigers.

They are numerous and ubiquitous, and can cross almost any obstacle.

The northern wall was only a slightly steep hill for them.

More and more ant soldiers rushed to the northern wall, and Surdak felt as if the ground was trembling.

There are only stars in the night sky.

Samira had already jumped on a bed crossbow and aimed at the ghost-patterned soldier ants that were crawling up the walls directly below, and shot the giant crossbow arrows.

The touch of the machine is very good, and Samira can't control the trace of wind element in her body for the time being.

'Buzz'

The crossbow strings trembled, and the sound was somewhat muffled.

The giant crossbow bolt completely melted into the darkness, bringing with it a remnant, and also carrying a wind element wrapped around the shaft of the arrow.

The crossbow arrow instantly penetrated the body of the ghost-patterned soldier ant, not only shooting through this ordinary ghost-patterned soldier ant with a body length of nearly three meters, but also the tip of the arrow emerged from the tail of the ghost-patterned soldier ant and penetrated into the head of the ghost-patterned soldier ant behind it again.

A crossbow bolt pierced through the two ghost-patterned soldier ants, causing a cheer to erupt from the city wall again.

The ghost-patterned soldier ants who had just climbed the city wall immediately quickened their pace and climbed up, and the thirty-five bed crossbows on the city wall shot a row of giant crossbow arrows almost simultaneously.

The buzz was continuous......

This giant crossbow arrow, which was slightly longer than an ordinary spear, suddenly fell under the city wall with ghostly pattern soldiers.

However, it was quite laborious to reload the bed crossbow with a new giant bolt, requiring at least two warriors to work for a while, one to take a giant bolt from the wooden frame and load it into the slot, and the other to pull the string apart with a winch.

It takes at least two minutes to load a giant crossbow bolt, so these bed crossbows alone can't suppress the ghostly red ants that are pouring up like a tidal wave.

The ghost-patterned soldier ants who rushed to the front quickly climbed to the top of the city, and the hoplites and knights in full-armored armor held long-handled weapons in their hands, and at the moment when the ghost-patterned soldiers and ants emerged from the cracks in the battlements of the city's walls, a group of tactics and mercenaries with one-turn strength raised their spears and stabbed out, and the sharp spears pierced into the skull precisely along the jaw.

Suddenly, these ghost-patterned soldier ants twitched a few times and kicked their legs directly, and some acid and putrid liquid continued to gush out of their mouths.

The warriors would never let these ghost-patterned soldiers fall into the city, and they held iron hooks in their hands to drag these ghost-patterned soldiers and ants up to the city.

A large number of ghost-patterned soldiers followed behind, and after rushing to the top of the city, they began to spit a large amount of acid at the soldiers on the city walls.

The city defense guards waiting on the arrow tower were armed with repeating archer crossbows, and with the light of the fire, they aimed at the mouths of the ghost-patterned soldier ants and fired a series of crossbow arrows, as long as they hit the mouthparts of the ghost-patterned soldier ants, the acid spitting would stop abruptly.

Some experienced one-turn warriors rushed forward at this time along the trajectory of the ghost-patterned soldier ant spitting acid, and stabbed the spear in their hand into the jaw of the soldier ant.

There were also some heavily armored warriors holding shields, but they did not completely avoid the acid liquid, and were sprayed by the acid, screaming at the head of the city.

At least fifty ghost-patterned soldier ants were seen crawling onto the city wall and engaging in a scuffle with the guards on the city wall.

Andrew hurriedly ordered: "Put down the rolling stones......"

When the guards who were waiting next to the Rolling Stone heard Andrew's order, they couldn't wait to push down the Rolling Stone, and some of the ghostly soldiers even climbed onto the Rolling Stone, and at this moment they fell down the city wall along with the Rolling Stone.

These rolling stones are coated in a layer of oil-soaked flax that will not be easily extinguished when a fire is lit.

The rolling stones were connected in a string, and almost all the ghost-patterned red ants that were climbing the city wall were swept away.

The ghost-patterned red ants located on the rolling path were crushed into pulp by the rolling stones almost instantly.

The pressure on the city wall suddenly decreased a lot, Surdak, Andrew, more than 20 veterans in the cavalry battalion and a group of elite soldiers selected from the mercenary group blocked the ghost pattern soldiers from the front, and more than 200 heavy armored infantry and full-armored cavalry swarmed up, and everyone killed these ghost pattern soldiers and ants with all hands and feet.

As long as it is a fight, it is difficult to avoid injury.

However, Surdak possessed the Holy Light Technique, which made the warriors have a lot less to worry about when fighting.

As the rolling stones rolled to the bottom of the city wall, countless ghost-patterned red ants mixed together, killing and wounding.

Some of the ghost-patterned soldier ants tried to crawl out of the pile of corpses that were mixed together, and the ghost-patterned red ants that came up from behind stepped on their bodies and continued to climb towards the city wall.

Another rain of arrows has fallen, and the number of ghost worker ants in the colony has decreased dramatically.

The bed crossbow at the head of the city completed the second installation of the crossbow arrow.

This group of ghost-patterned soldier ants rushed up, and another row of giant crossbow arrows swept out, and dozens of ghost-patterned soldier ants immediately lay down.

The ghost-patterned soldier ants in the back continued to climb up......

The flaming rocks blocked their path, and they could only pass through the crevices where no fire was ignited, slowing down the ant colony's assault on the walls.

This time, the wall of fire was not lit under the walls, but only slightly blocked by the rolling stones that lit the fire.

Maybe he heard the sound of battle on the city wall, and it didn't take long for the ogre to appear on the city wall, holding a bone-crushing stick in his hand, and stepping on the head of the ghost pattern soldier ant. Leg clamp down.

The bone-crushing stick in the ogre's hand smashed down again, and the giant pincers on his head were smashed open......

Almost at the same moment, the catapult inside the city walls threw black iron balls out of the city again.

The black iron balls exploded in the canyon, and dazzling fireworks erupted in the dark night, landing less than four hundred people outside the northern city wall.

A round of explosions, a roar resounded through the canyon.

At the same time, the front and back of the colony are completely isolated, and the queen ant behind the colony cannot give instructions to the ghost soldier ants and worker ants in front of them, and these ghost soldier ants stop in front of the burning rolling stones.

The ghost-patterned soldier ants that rushed to the city wall were not as dense as before.

The number of ghost-patterned soldiers attacking the city is insufficient, and the thirty-five bed crossbows on the head of the city can control the number of ghost-patterned soldiers at the head of the city......

The north wall at night is like a large slaughterhouse, each warrior has a clear division of labor, as long as there are ghost soldiers and ants climb up, the way to deal with it is basically the same, and in the end the corpse will be pushed into the city wall by the city guards.

During this period, the occasional giant ghost-patterned soldier ants that rushed up did cause a lot of trouble to Surdak, and when they encountered this kind of big guy, he and Gulitham were basically in front, and Andrew and Samira looked for an opportunity to kill the giant ghost-patterned soldier ants.

But those ghost-patterned male ants didn't appear until dawn.

The warriors on the northern city wall fought continuously all night, and a large number of corpses of ghost-patterned soldiers were piled up inside and outside the city.

Although the ground on the walls had been washed several times that night, the acid was still flowing sideways.

Some of the ghost-striped ant ants had stumps and broken teeth scattered on the ground.

The sun shone into the valley and cleared the dense fog in the mountains, and the siege of the ant colony calmed down.

The vast battlefield outside the northern city walls has been smashed to pieces,

The ghost-patterned red ants retreated to the middle of the canyon, leaving the remains of many ant corpses on the battlefield.

Surdak was still thinking about how he couldn't see the ghost-patterned male ants during the siege last night, but when it was dawn, he found that the homemade bomb thrown by the catapult last night had blown up a team of ghost-patterned male ants again, and his huge body was still struggling on the battlefield, and it didn't look like he was completely dead.

These dead and wounded ghost-patterned red ants could not leave the battlefield in front of the northern city wall, and when the thick fog cleared, they all emerged.

In order to rinse off the acid and putrefaction on his body, Andrew poured several buckets of water in a row, and his whole body was wet.

There were still some ghost-patterned red ant carcasses hanging on the city walls, and the red lizard skin armor on Surdak's body had a cut in his back during the battle.

But fortunately, before the battle last night, he sacrificed the heads of several ghost-patterned soldier ants, not only the 'Divine Blessed Body', 'Overlord Body' and 'Insight', but also the 'Blessed Shield' and 'Divine Shield'.

On the city wall, the dwarven chain shield in Surdak's hand turned into a holy shield, and as long as the ghost-patterned soldier ant got a little closer to Surdak, it would be burned by the divine aura on the shield.

Even if he blessed himself with so many divine blessings, the salamander leather armor on Surdak's body was still cut open by the soldier ants, and it was basically scrapped.

Samira's condition seemed to be better, the fog had made her broken hair wet, the black veil on her face was translucent, and the aura of the wind attribute on her body was getting stronger and stronger......

Surdak was treating a piercing wound on the leg of a warrior with Holy Light when Andrew pointed to the outside of the city wall and asked:

"What about these big guys?"

He raised his head and saw the huge corpse of the ghost-patterned male ant along the wall, and there were only scattered ghost-patterned red ants around the battlefield, so he said: "Of course we will snatch it back, and don't waste one, since they have withdrawn, of course we must expand the results of the battle." ”

"I'll take the men down from the walls, and you keep an eye on the city." Andrew said to Samira.

After saying that, he went to the back of the city wall to find a rope, tied the hemp rope to the wooden frame behind the city wall, and threw the other end under the city wall, and a group of veterans of the cavalry battalion followed behind Andrew, all of them tied the rope.

Surdak instructed the men: "Be careful when you clean up the battlefield, some ghostly red ants will pretend to be dead and bite you if they see you approaching...... More than a few ropes......"

Andrew grabbed the rope with both hands and slid straight down the wall.

Samira sat on the city wall and watched quietly as Surdak treated the wounded soldiers, and after a while said to Surdak:

"I found that these ghostly red ants are improving every day, and this time I went back...... It is estimated that when the next time I rush up, this northern city wall will not be so simple to guard. ”

Surdak looked up at the canyon outside the city, where the colony had retreated to the middle of the canyon.

Adams led a group of his men to climb the city wall, and saw that the city wall was full of booty, and the city guards used ropes to drag up the corpses of the soldiers under the city, and the scene was very lively.

There was still a faint smoke on the battlefield outside the city, and Andrew led a group of veterans to surround a ghost-patterned male ant, which was blown off four legs, and the remaining two legs were unable to support its huge body, lying on the battlefield and unable to leave.

When it saw a group of humans approaching, it began to struggle violently.

Andrew couldn't pierce its armor with his spear, so he slowly approached from the corner of his line of sight and cut off its last two intact legs.

So it can only curl its body like a worm, and once Andrew and the others get close, it stretches its body and spits acid putrefaction around.

For a moment, Andrew could only let people throw long iron chains from the city wall, and several veterans stood far away, cooperating with each other to tie up the ghost-patterned male ant, and using the door-shaped hanger on the city wall, the ghost-patterned male ant weighing more than 2,000 pounds was directly hoisted to the head of the city......

One of the storehouses of the city guard brigade ran up the walls out of breath and reported to Surdak:

"Commander Surdak, the fifth batch of supplies for Wilkes City has arrived!"

Surdak paused again and asked, "Is there anything special this time?" ”

The warehouse keeper said excitedly: "In addition to grain and arrows, some fire oil has been brought in this time!" ”

……

In the morning, Surdak personally met with the quartermaster who had arrived from Wilkes to escort supplies, and slept in the small building for a while.

When I woke up, I found that some valuable giant soldier ants and ghost pattern male ants had almost been transported to an open field in front of the small building.

From time to time, this ghost-patterned male ant will spew out a stream of acid from its mouthparts, probably the acid in the stomach pouch has been spit out, and it can only accumulate a little and then spit it out, although it is bound by chains all over its body, but the huge head can still twist slightly, and the dark red spar-like eyes above carry a cold feeling.

It didn't make some weak hissing sounds, and the two giant pincers were wrapped around the chains, and they couldn't open and close properly.

Many warriors stood around the empty field, watching the ghost-patterned male ant.

A total of three ghost-patterned males were harvested in this battle, and the dead two ghost-patterned males were far less valuable than the giant ghost-patterned soldier ants, although they also had life patterns on their bodies, they had been completely destroyed.

The magic materials that can be obtained are also limited, except for a magic core, only the hard armor skin on the body.

It's nowhere near as valuable as the giant ghost-patterned soldier ant.

The six legs of the giant ghost pattern soldier ant all have life magic patterns growing on them, although these life magic patterns are not complete, as long as you look carefully, you can always harvest some power-type life magic patterns.

Fourteen Giant Ghost Tattoo Soldier Ants were hunted all night last night, and in order to prevent the magic power on the legs of the Soldier Ants from naturally dissipating after death, Surdak gave priority to the fourteen Giant Ghost Pattern Soldier Ants that had died.

With the help of the 'True Eye', Surdak managed to find nineteen complete life patterns on the legs of the fourteen giant ghost-patterned soldier ants, but due to the varying degrees of damage suffered by many of the giant ghost-patterned soldier ants, Surdak only managed to peel off thirteen complete life patterns.

Two days ago, during the battle to hunt the Ghost Pattern Ant Queen, he had harvested twenty-four Demon Patterns from the giant Ghost Pattern Soldier Ant.

Counting it up, he had already obtained forty-eight Life Demon Patterns from the Giant Ghost Pattern Soldier Ant......

The magic patterns on these giant ghostly soldier ants were very difficult to peel off, and Surdak was busy almost until the evening.
