793. Battle of the town of Prentos 3
At the beginning of the battle, Andrew led a group of cavalry around the large group of cavalry, clearing the ghostly red ants that were pouring in.
The closer they got to the town of Plantos, the more and more ghostly red ants crawled out of the town, and the cavalry did not have enough space to charge back and forth, and slowly the two Thunderrhinos rushed to the front of the team, and the cavalry protected the flanks and back of the Thunder Rhinoceros.
Surdak, Andrew, Gallatin, Intas, and Hampton also rushed to the front, and in addition to Surdak's aura of power, Intas commanders also had a piety aura that increased the armor of the cavalry and made it stronger.
Unexpectedly, Commander Hampno was actually a master of swordsmanship, and he also had good combat power on a war horse, he could always find the most labor-saving way to slash the ghost pattern soldier ant in front of him with a sword, but he rarely killed the ghost pattern red ant directly, and there would be a soldier who was responsible for mending the knife behind him.
The ant colony could not shake the cavalry, and more soldiers gathered here.
Six ghost-patterned males and ten giant ghost-patterned soldier ants smashed through the town's courtyard wall and burst out of the town in a cloud of ruins.
Behind them, a large number of ordinary ghost-patterned soldier ants also gathered in large numbers, which also poured out overwhelmingly.
These ghost-patterned red ants contain a large number of soldier ants, and the attack rhythm is almost the same, which is obviously regulated by a ghost-patterned ant queen.
At present, the cavalry has attacked the foot of the mountain, and they have to climb halfway up the mountain to meet the ghostly red ants before they can reach the town of Plantos.
The slope is not too steep, but if you want to go uphill, you have to withstand the impact of the ghostly red ants.
Surdak followed the wooden ladder, climbed up to the platform on the back of the Thunder Rhinoceros, and looked halfway up the mountain, and sure enough, at the gate of the town of Plantos, he saw a dark red ghost ant queen, three pairs of wings holding a fat hook-shaped body hanging low in the air, surrounded by a group of ghost pattern male ants, watching the movement here.
Dense ghost-patterned red ants poured out from behind it, overwhelmingly surging down the mountain.
Many of these red ants are soldiers, and they make a small shuddering sound when they run, causing a loud 'buzzing' sound throughout the mountain pass.
The two commanders, Intas and Hampton, who had not led the cavalry to meet the ghost-striped red ants in the field, saw such a scene, their faces tightened, and tried their best to appease the somewhat irritable war horse.
Surdak knew that at such a time, the cavalry must be built up with the belief that they will win.
He pointed to the ghost-patterned male ants a few hundred meters away, turned to Samira beside him, and said, "Shoot all the ghost-patterned males in the colony as much as possible......"
Samira rolled her eyes and began to adjust the shooting angle of the bed crossbow, this elevation angle was easier to aim, those ghost-patterned male ants have a bulky and huge size, and the armor on their bodies is extremely thick, even if it has a giant crossbow arrow with 'armor piercing', it is difficult to shoot through the armor of its body, only by shooting the mouthparts of the head and compound eyes, can it shoot through the weak armor.
In order to find a better angle to shoot, Samira gave a command to the rider who sat on top of the Thunder Rhinoceros.
At this time, the two thunder rhinoceros, which were like small hills, actually slowly turned their bodies sideways.
Four bed crossbows were aimed at the ghost-patterned red ants that rushed up on the platform, and almost at the same time, four giant crossbow arrows flew out of the platform on the back of the thunder rhino.
The two ghost-patterned males in the colony were hit by arrows, and their entire heads burst out with a thick green sour liquid.
The other two ghost-patterned males were lucky, and the giant crossbow bolts were stuck in the thick armor on their backs, although the giant crossbow arrows were stuck in the ghost-patterned males, but they did not do much damage to them.
Surdak saw that the ghost-patterned soldier ants rushing to the front were only less than 100 meters away from his own camp, and hurriedly climbed down the Thunder Rhino and stood side by side with Andrew.
Then four more giant crossbow arrows were fired, and two more ghost-patterned males fell on the way to attack, and finally the two remaining ones also had giant crossbow arrows stuck in their bodies.
……
The front row of ghostly soldiers had already rushed forward, and was blocked by a group of heavy cavalry who had abandoned their horses and held tower shields, including Andrew and Surdak.
The moment the two sides collided together, a two-faced four-armed demon god's phantom lit up behind Surdak, and almost at the same time, this demon god's phantom became very solid, the demon god bent down and protected Surdak's body with four arms, and the dwarf chain shield on Surdak's arm emitted a dazzling holy light.
Behind Andrew there is a complete face of a berserker, and that is Andrew's 'Berserker Soul'.
A pair of blood-red eyes burned with rage, along with a layer of fire burning throughout his entire body.
At the same time, all the first-turn veterans standing with Andrew had a phantom of 'potential' behind them.
The wave of ghost-patterned red ants rushed up, almost breaking the tower shield in the hands of the cavalry.
The first wave of the Red Ant attack was stopped by the veterans of the cavalry battalion who unleashed the 'momentum'.
The cavalry behind raised the knight's spear and stabbed at these ghost-patterned soldier ants, but unfortunately they did not have the power to charge, and the knight's spear alone hit the red ants that rushed up, almost half of the impact force was missing, and the spear was only able to pierce the hard armor of the ghost-patterned soldier ants.
Andrew's body burned with flames, like a killing god, and he jumped up from the crowd.
The butcher's axe in his hand was raised high, and he slashed down again, bringing up a crimson horseman, and the head of a ghost-patterned soldier ant that rushed forward was split open by Andrew, and his whole person also stepped between the giant pincers of the ghost-patterned soldier ant, and stepped on the head like a rotten watermelon, and the butcher's axe in his hand rotated and cut off the soldier ants on the side.
Andrew stood at the front of the group and was brave.
At this time, Surdak carried the dwarf chain shield and the torch of holy light, followed behind Andrew, blocking the ghost pattern soldier ants rushing up from both sides, the shield in his hand frequently burst out with divine brilliance, the holy light torch smashed on the top of the ghost pattern soldier ant's head, and the magic pattern circle that appeared frequently in front of him burst out with huge power, and the light on the torch could almost smash the head of the ghost pattern soldier ant like a rotten watermelon.
There was no way to use the Scarlet Crescent in this situation, and he didn't want to slash that long sword to the ground.
The aura of power under his feet radiated a large area, and Surdak's body flashed with thunder light, and beams of electric light passed through the ant colony, causing extensive damage to the ant colony.
Intas and Hampton hurriedly followed, they finally knew what was special about this cavalry battalion, and the commander led the charge.
A group of veterans followed as if they were not dying.
With their strong armor and sharp swords, this group of veterans fought their way inside, and all the cavalry rushed forward by stepping on the corpse of the ghost-patterned red ants.
And the four bed crossbows on the two thunder rhinoceros almost suppressed all the ghost pattern male ants and giant ghost pattern soldier ants who dared to rush up, and from time to time someone threw fire scale bullets from the thunder rhino quilt, blowing up the surrounding ghost pattern red ants to pieces and flesh and blood.
Intath and Hampton fought hard in the team until they were exhausted, and only then did the cavalry in the team fill in, and everyone took turns killing the ghostly red ants at the outermost part of the team.
But they were surprised to find that Commander Surdak and the Nanai warrior had hardly been replaced, and had always been at the front of the line.
From noon to dusk, Surdak's cavalry battalion finally fought hard into the town of Plantos.
……
With two thunder rhinos in front and wounded cavalry in the middle, the thunder rhinos smashed through a wall south of the town, and the ruins were covered with thick dust after the masonry collapsed, and a group of cavalry followed the footsteps of the thunder rhino into an unknown manor.
The queen ant who was guarding outside the town saw the ghost-patterned male ants being shot one by one by the bed crossbow, and they dared to linger outside the town, and they had already entered the town of Plantos with a flock.
At present, the main target of the ghost pattern soldier ant rush has become the thunder rhinoceros.
Probably driven by the queen ant, they rushed up desperately, just to climb on the body of the thunder rhinoceros and bite twice.
The buildings here were built on the hill, and the cavalry were forced to dismount and fight.
When you enter the town of Plantos, the first thing that catches your eye is some dilapidated and messy streets, full of blood and traces of battle, but there are no corpses in sight, and occasionally there are traces of ghost-striped male ants passing by in some places, huge bodies crushing the buildings and walls facing the street, and even these common weapons are scattered on the streets.
On street corners and in the courtyards, scattered these black, viscous and disgusting pastes, mixed with some corroded and tattered armor, presumably the soldiers and townspeople who had died in battle would have long since become.
Some ghost-patterned red ants climb over the wall and pass through the courtyard, and they are not affected by the terrain of the town, and it is impossible to prevent them from covering up.
On the contrary, the cavalry would be very constrained when they shuttled through the town, and they could only walk along the streets, and some ghost-patterned red ants poured up from all directions, making the battle extremely difficult.
However, it also restricts the ghost-striped males, who have not been seen since the cavalry stormed into the town of Plantos.
Surdak divided the cavalry battalion into seven teams and marched along the town's long streets.
Andrew had been fighting for an afternoon, and his body was covered with the blood of the ghost-patterned male ants, not to mention, the 'Earth Shield' on the Demon Pattern Construct had been activated almost three times, and there was already a very serious damage on such a set of top-level Devil Pattern Structure.
His whole being was immersed in a state of killing.
Andrew led fifty veterans to rush forward along the central street of the town of Plantos, through the whole town, the long street was full of ghost-patterned red ant corpses, and when they rushed to the front of the pass, they found that there were more than a dozen ghost-patterned male ants blocking the empty field in front of the pass, and these ghost-patterned male ants blocked the pass solidly, and the ghost-patterned ant queen hid on the high wall of the pass.
A large number of ghost-patterned red ants had just crossed the pass and poured into the town when they collided with a group of cavalry.
At this moment, Andrew's wheezing sound was like a wind box, and the 'swoop' sound was very heavy.
Sweating like rain, the butcher's axe in his hand was taken off several times, but his fighting spirit was always burning.
He walked step by step on the stone path on the long street, and saw thirteen ghost-patterned male ants side by side in front of him, and there were also more than a dozen ghost-patterned ant queens clustered on the head of the city.
Andrew's footsteps have not stopped, the battle intent in his heart is so strong that it almost forms flames, and the cyclone on his body continues to converge from all sides, and some ghost-patterned soldiers and ants rush up recklessly, and they will be strangled by the butcher's axe immediately.
Surdak also noticed Andrew's strangeness at this time, he was almost on the verge of collapse, but he still rushed to the front.
Andrew ......
At the moment when Surdak shouted, a giant ghost-patterned soldier ant actually broke through the ground and cut into Andrew's abdomen with giant pincers.
Andrew's demonic armor once again burst out with three 'earth shields', blocking Andrew's killer blow from the giant ghost-patterned soldier ant.
The 'Shield of the Earth' shattered, and several ghost-patterned soldier ants rushed up to bite the ankle of Andrew's steel boots, trying to tear the enemy in front of him apart......
The phantom behind Andrew reappeared, and a funnel-shaped cyclone appeared around the berserker's face, and countless energies surrounded Andrew's 'momentum', quickly repairing that face into a humanoid phantom.
At the same time, Andrew's body also erupted into a huge spiral cyclone, and the humanoid phantom instantly merged with Andrew.
Andrew's momentum seemed to have broken through some kind of shackles, and a devastating aura erupted from his body.
The giant claws of the giant ghost-patterned soldier ant failed to snap Andrew's waist, but were torn apart by the cyclone that gushed out of his body......
Surdak, who was following behind, subconsciously stopped, watching countless cyclones inverted into Andrew's body, the butcher battle axe in Andrew's hand lit up with incandescent flames, he swung the axe in his hand out, and fiercely penetrated the body of the giant ghost-patterned soldier ant, at this moment, a flash of lightning burst out of the white flames.
The entire body of the giant ghost-patterned soldier ant was scorched by lightning.
The ghost-patterned soldier ants that rushed up around were also affected, and Andrew's swept axe brought up a white streamer, and the moment the streamer touched the ghost-patterned soldier ant, the ghost-patterned soldier ant's leg was broken into two......
Andrew's momentum skyrocketed wildly, stepping on the corpse of the ghost-patterned soldier ant and killing wildly at the corner of the street.
……
Intus and Hampton's eyes straightened.
They didn't expect that this brave indigenous warrior would actually break through the shackles of level 20 directly on the battlefield and be successfully promoted to become a second-rank powerhouse.
The powerful coercion emanating from his body directly suppressed the giant ghost pattern soldier ant opposite.
In the Grimm Empire, the difficulty of a first-turn warrior being promoted to a second-turn powerhouse is no less than that of ordinary people awakening the magic pool to become a magic apprentice.
There was a second-turn strong man in Surdak's cavalry battalion, and it was directly advanced on the battlefield, and the morale of the cavalry soared, and the cavalrymen who were originally tired let out a loud shout, blocking the ghost-patterned red ants in front of them, and beating back the ant colony that rushed up from all directions.
At the same time, the two thunder rhinos also rushed to the empty field of the pass at the north end of the town, and the cold and glistening bed crossbow on the back of the thunder rhino brought inexplicable pressure to these ghost-patterned male ants in the square.
Seven cavalry teams gathered in front of the pass north of the town of Plantos, and the ghost-patterned red ants, which were forced to retreat by the cavalry, collided with the ghost-patterned red ants that emerged from the pass, and the battlefield made a 'hissing' sound.
The ghostly queen floated on the city wall, looking coldly at everything beneath the city......
