767. Tide

Recently, something has spread rapidly in the barracks.

Hudson, who had broken a leg on the battlefield, was not only saved by Commander Surdak, but also had his broken left leg connected......

Not only that, but it took only three days for the veteran Hudson to get out of bed and walk on crutches.

I heard that all of this seems to be due to a magic pattern on the merit exchange list, and that magic pattern requires 30,000 merits to exchange, ranking in the top three on the merit list of the barracks station, and Commander Surdak allowed him to owe a huge debt in order to save Hudson's left leg.

Now Hudson is burdened with a huge amount of debt, and he can't wait to return to the battlefield to earn merit.

The four ghost ant queens in the Dodan Canyon have teamed up to control the ant colony in the canyon, which can already allow them to advance and retreat freely, and the tide-like ant colony is becoming more and more impactful.

However, due to Surdak's Holy Light Technique, which can quickly heal wounded warriors, the warriors guarding the northern city wall showed great courage and forcibly kept hundreds of thousands of ant clan armies out of the northern wall.

In the space of a week, the corpses of the Ghost Pattern Worker Ants were reduced to ashes outside the city, and the Ghost Pattern Soldier Ants became the most basic Warcraft materials, which were transported to Hylanza City by Surdak in batches, and his first order for the Leather Workshop in Hylanza City was to customize 500 sets of Guboraima's full-covered hardskin armor.

The number of giant ghost pattern soldier ants in the ant colony is not very large, but this kind of ghost pattern soldier ant advanced into a demon beast has the strength of a second-level demon beast, and at the same time, a life demon pattern of strength and tenacity can be found from their legs, which is the most valuable ant clan at present.

Recently, twelve ghost-patterned males have been hunted and killed, half of which were killed by explosives thrown by catapults, and this ghost-patterned male ant is covered in armor so thick that even magic crossbow arrows cannot penetrate their hard armor.

Since Surdak found that the armor piece of the hind shoulder of the ghost male ant connected to the skull, it could directly stab the brain marrow of the ghost male ant, and the threat of this giant red ant to the northern city wall was much smaller.

It's just that this ghost-patterned male ant has nothing else precious except that it contains a magic core in its body.

The hard armor itself is too thick to be made, but if it is used in siege equipment, it is still a good choice.

As for the queen ant, she has only successfully hunted one so far, and in addition to obtaining a precious high-grade leather, she has also obtained a high-level life pattern, which may be Surdak's biggest harvest at the moment.

The only regret is that the head did not stay.

……

Ten catapults take turns throwing explosives out of the city every day, but even this will not stop the onslaught of the ant colony, which has begun to master the rhythm of the attack, and they will launch a wave of rapid counterattack after a wave of explosives explodes.

In just a few days, the green grass carpet outside the city had already turned into a scorched earth, and the remnants of red ants were full of severed limbs.

The attack of the ant colony is also becoming more and more urgent day by day, and the soldier ants in charge of the charge are becoming more and more crazy, Andrew and the ogre Gulitham have been guarding the northern city wall these days, and even eating and sleeping on the city wall.

Samira was in a better condition for both of them, at least knowing that in the morning when the fog cleared, they would return to the camp to take a bath, and then sleep until noon before returning to the city walls.

Due to the state of the battle on the walls, Adams and Gallatin would not leave the walls until after midnight for several days.

The number of mercenaries guarding the city wall has increased from twenty to forty, and those who can stand at the head of the city at this time are almost all veterans with rich combat experience, except for the soldiers of the first turn.

Even so, on the eleventh night of the ant tide attacking the northern city wall, the city was crowded with black ghost-patterned soldiers, and after repelling the seventeen waves of ant colony, Surdak decided to light the fire wall under the city again.

……

With the wall of fire, the city wall was restored to the situation of two captains on duty.

During this time, he has been trying to find an opportunity to assassinate the queen ant, but looking at the tide of ants under the city wall, even if he wants to sneak into the canyon below the city, it is difficult to do so.

In the past few days, Aphrodite has used the summoning scroll to come to the military camp in Dodan Town at night to think of a way with Surdak and others.

This time the wall of fire burned for a whole week, and under the pressure of defending the city, a lot of merits have been accumulated, and the leather armor made of second-level demonic beast leather stored in the warehouse of the station has been exchanged, and everyone is eager to improve their strength.

In this case, the stronger the fighter's personal strength, the more merit he will achieve.

In addition to this, Surdak also offered a large number of magic crystals as a reward.

……

The mercenaries on the city wall have also gained a lot in the past few days, and every time they kill a ghost pattern soldier ant, they can take away the demon core inside the skull.

Almost all of these mercenaries were wearing half a set of demonic pattern uniforms, and their personal strength was super strong, almost all of them were guarding the east and west sides of the north city wall in groups of three or four, responsible for blocking the ghost pattern red ants that climbed the city wall from here.

In these sixteen days, the most harvested mercenary team harvested almost ninety magic cores, cutting out fifty magic crystals and hundreds of magic crystal fragments from them, which is almost more than the income of most mercenary groups in a year.

All the mercenaries in the town are too hot, and almost all the mercenaries want to squeeze into the city wall to take advantage, so the president of the mercenary union guards the door of the small building in the barracks every day, but in the end he finally convinces Surdak that the magicians in the mercenary team are not limited by quotas.

In this way, every day on the city wall, there are almost seven or eight magicians standing on the arrow tower, and they throw fireballs under the city wall from time to time, and the fireballs explode on the faces of the ghost soldiers, and they can still be blown off the city wall.

It has to be said that since these magicians are stationed on the city wall in turn, the consumption of firescale bullets has been greatly reduced.

The mercenaries directly took out the magic core from the skull of the ghost pattern worker ant that they killed, and all the remaining things had to be handed over to the barracks station, so the mercenaries could not enjoy the merit points in the barracks.

……

During the battle, six veterans of the first turn of strength were accidentally wounded, and then after owing a huge debt to the cavalry battalion, Surdak successively colonized the life pattern for these veterans.

The wounds on their bodies healed very quickly and they returned to the battlefield.

A few veterans with the 'Divine Blessing Body' and the 'Strength and Tenacity' Life Pattern burst out in the Battle of the City Walls, holding a tower shield and a heavy flail in the other, almost always rushing to the front.

Under the surge in power, these one-turn veterans can almost even smash the heads of ghost-patterned soldiers with their flails, and use their tower shields to jam them directly in the battlements, allowing the spearmen behind them to complete the kill.

Seeing the surge in the strength of the veterans in the cavalry battalion, the soldiers in the other combat regiments were very hot.

However, the soldiers in the other warbands did not have such preferential treatment, and since they were seconded troops, Surdak would not have implanted demonic patterns on their bodies unless they had gathered 30,000 merit points.

In just half a month, Gallatin finally scraped together 30,000 merit points, but half of these merit points belonged to Adams, and Gallatin chose the life magic pattern that gained enhanced explosive power from the Moonblade Fire Wolf King.

Gallatin and Adams were graduates of the same period at the High Knight Academy in Bena, and they had previously had similar fighting styles.

However, now the fighting styles of the two have taken two completely different paths, Adams, who has the enhanced recovery life pattern, focuses more on the one-handed heavy sword and the knight's heavy shield, while Gallatin, who has the enhanced explosive life pattern, has extremely aggressively chose a double-edged greatsword, it is said that Gallatin can cut off the head of the ghost pattern soldier ant with a full blow.

Gallatin didn't expect that just adding a simple magic pattern to his body would actually increase his combat power so much.

"I heard Baron Surdak say that if you can break through level 20 and become a second-turn powerhouse, you can also implant a stronger magic pattern on your body, but after becoming a second-turn powerhouse, you will have more things to choose from, and when we have battle energy, we can also choose to let the inscription master draw a magic pattern on the body." Adams stood at the head of the city, holding out a shield in one hand to block a ghost-striped soldier ant.

Taking advantage of the fact that it opened its tentacles, it slashed down with a sword, and suddenly the tentacles of this ghost-patterned soldier ant were cut out of a crack.

The body of the ghost-patterned soldier ant poked out from under the city wall, and he wanted to spew acid putrefaction at Adams in severe pain, but he didn't notice that a knight holding a double-edged sword came up next to him, and the big sword pierced into the gap in the jaw of the ghost-patterned soldier ant's skull from under the oblique bottom, and he just gently pushed forward with both hands, and suddenly the head of the ghost-patterned soldier ant hung down.

Gallatin was very proud, and stepped on the skull of the ghost pattern soldier ant that was still bleeding brown blood, and said beside Adams: "This is your idea, I think if this beast tide lasts a little longer, I may be able to mix up a magic pattern for myself." ”

……

Recently, the wind circle on Samira's body is no longer a thin line round under her feet, but a spiral shape and a wall of wind that rotates around her lower body, and the qi she perceives is not pure, nor is it close to the water and nature that the elves are friendly to, but can feel the presence of the wind in the breath of contact.

After possessing the Great Demon Ape's power-type life pattern, Samira almost had a smooth journey on the road to the first turn of the promotion.

A few days ago, there was a second-turn powerhouse like Viru by her side, which really made her walk out of a completely different path, elves are naturally good at bows and arrows, and it is not surprising that she has a very high talent for bows and arrows.

But now that she's trying to sense the wind element, and being able to gather around her body, that's a good start.

The promotion of a first-turn mage to a second-turn mage requires two conditions: the first point is to allow oneself to have an elemental body, and the second point is that the elemental affinity can reach a certain height, and you can enter the elemental world for a short time and reach some kind of magical contract with the elemental creatures in the elemental world.

Only in this way can you be promoted to become a second-turn magician, and after becoming a second-turn magician, you can get in touch with fourth-level magic.

Many fourth-level magic belong to group magic, and the magic power in the magic pool in the magician's body is limited, and after having the elemental body, the magician's body can become a bridge to summon the elemental contract partner, and the elemental contract partner will draw magic from the elemental world and inject it into the magician's body to assist the magician in performing fourth-level magic.

There are also two conditions for the promotion of those who change positions in the first battle and those who change to strong positions in the second place.

Many first-turn fighters can always reach the peak of the nineteenth level of the first turn through hard cultivation, but if they want to break through the twentieth level and become a second-turn powerhouse, they must also meet two conditions, the first point is that the battle-poster needs to improve his perception, and the battle-poster needs to feel the qi that exists around him, and having the battle qi is one of the prerequisites for them to enter the second-turn powerhouse level, and the second is to rely on their strong physique and strength to forcibly break through that realm.

She had accepted Viru's guidance before, and now it seemed that she was on Viru's path again.

However, it was through the Scorching Bow that Viru had sensed the fire element in this world, and Samira had now felt the wind element.

Every arrow she shoots now carries a little wind element, but this little wind element alone increases the range of the arrow by twenty percent, which is something Samira didn't expect.

The current Samira does not lack strength and explosiveness, and her coordination and balance are also excellent, so as long as you exercise step by step, you have a great chance to break through the second turn.

During this time of stationing on the north city wall, she also benefited a lot from her insights on the battlefield.

She stood on the high arrow tower of the city wall, looking down at the climbing ghost-patterned red ants on the battlefield at her feet, and she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

The ogre Gulitham was standing next to the arrow tower, and he only had to raise his head slightly, just enough to chat with Samira.

Gulitham's second head had now grown completely, and the neck and most of his face were clear, but his facial features were blurred, and he had no ears.

Sometimes, Gulit reaches out and touches his second head.

There are some sensations, and I can feel the pain even if my hand is too heavy, but it seems that I don't need any instructions from Gulitham, and the head that doesn't seem to have a clear face at the moment can naturally dodge it.

Apparently he has independent control, and Gulit is a little looking forward to it, but also a little entangled.

He worries that his other self will not get along.

Samira raised her hand and shot through the head of a soldier ant that had crept up the city wall in the distance, and the steel arrow drilled through one eye of the soldier with precision, and the tip of the arrow came out of the other, and the guards on the wall immediately gave her a thumbs up.

Although she couldn't remember how many ghost pattern soldiers she had killed like this, she could feel that the magic pattern on her arm was already slightly hot.

This meant that her right arm needed to rest, so she put down the hunting bow in her hand on the arrow tower and asked Gullitham next to her:

"Gulitham, how long do you think this will last?"

Gullit is using his fingers, which are thicker than a carrot, trying to remove the size of a ghostly male ant. The tender flesh in the leg was pulled out, the fingers were too thick, and the meat was too tender to poke it out at all, so he took two more mouthfuls with his mouth, but it didn't work.

I had to patiently smash the hard carapace with an axe, and threw the tender and juicy leg meat inside into my mouth, before I vaguely asked, "Isn't it good to be like this now?" Samira"

Samira rubbed her arm gently, letting the muscles of her arm relax as much as possible, her eyes fell on the ghost-patterned red ants outside the city, and she said with a worried expression: "I'm worried that the battle will become more and more difficult in the future. ”

Gulit didn't have so many ideas, and said to Samira: "I heard that the boss has been discussing countermeasures for the past two days, and I think it won't be long before the war here can have a result." ”

Listening to Gulitem say this, Samira's mood was much better.

Her light red eyes fell on Gullitmu's other head, and she said to him half-teasingly, "Hey, if you are awake in the future, do you need to say hello to you twice?" ”

"Probably not!" Gulit said with a moment's hesitation.
