795. The Great Swordsman of Chester
In a col south of the town of Plantos, the Chester Swordsman led more than 2,000 cavalry to surround and annihilate a colony of ghostly red ants.
Taking advantage of the cavalry's very flexible use on the grass, the Chester Great Swordsman has cleared out a large number of ghost-patterned worker ants on the periphery of the ant colony, and now nearly 10,000 ghost-patterned soldier ants have gathered together to form a huge circle, and there are more than thirty ghost-patterned male ants in the center of these ghost-patterned soldiers, and they are clustered with a ghost-patterned ant queen with a pair of huge dark green compound eyes.
The ghost-patterned queen ant floated in mid-air, its body flashing with magnificent runes, and the three pairs of insect wings trembled alternately, translucent, emitting a low hum.
The males below form a circle, with all males facing the center of the circle with their tails facing outwards to ward off enemies coming from all directions.
The Chester Great Swordsman saw that this group of ghost-patterned soldier ants were very densely huddled together to resist the cavalry's charge, and immediately let the cavalry wander in the outermost circle, no longer attacking the ghost-patterned soldier ants.
The grass was littered with the corpses of ghost-patterned worker ants, and some of the horses were covered in acid and rot and fell to the ground, and they were still tied with saddle covers that they had not had time to remove, and their bodies were covered with some bite marks.
The battle has been going on for several hours, tens of thousands of ghost-patterned red ant knights have been strangled so far, and only nearly 10,000 soldiers are left, and there are no ghost-patterned red ants on the side of the mountain pass in the town of Plantos to continue to surge, this ant colony has entered a state of turtle contraction, and the queen ant in the central area has restrained them together.
The cavalry couldn't tear through the defensive formation, so they couldn't continue to charge inside.
Two thousand cavalrymen surrounded nearly 10,000 ghost-patterned soldiers and ants, and according to Chester's knowledge of ghost-patterned red ants, these ghost-patterned red ants were obviously waiting for the night to come.
So the Great Swordsman of Chester immediately decided to lead three hundred swordsmen to attack from the front.
The queen ant floating in mid-air, her body emitted a ripple-like aura that continued to spread outward, and continued to release spiritual power.
The ghost-patterned soldier ants are very closely aligned under the control of the queen.
The three hundred swordsmen brought by the Great Swordsman of Chester were all one-turn swordsmen, and although they were not equipped with a complete set of magic pattern structures, all of them were very well armed.
This group of swordsmen graduated from the High Swordsman Academy in Bena City, and participated in the intensive training of the Luther Legion's Constructed Swordsman Regiment Reserve, and usually trained hard in the training camp, these swordsmen can form a Constructed Swordsman Regiment as long as they wear the Demon Pattern Structure.
This group of swordsmen can basically occupy some advantages if they fight one-on-one with the ghost pattern soldier ants, and they have some team fighting skills, so they are much stronger than these ghost pattern soldier ants.
Every six swordsmen form a squad, and these squads almost always advance and retreat together when fighting.
The ten squadrons are led by a squadron leader, and these squadron leaders are the best of the swordsman reserves, and their strength is quite outstanding.
A giant ghost-patterned soldier ant occasionally pops up on the opposite side, and basically the swordsman captains get together to be responsible for the siege.
The Great Swordsman of Chester held a double-edged sword in his hand, and led three hundred swordsmen directly into the ant colony, like a wedge driven into the cracks of trees.
The ghost-patterned soldiers who were controlled by the queen rushed out like crazy, and pounced on these swordsmen in pieces.
The long sword of Xue Liang almost always wielded, and wearing ordinary light armor, all the swordsmen were very agile, and their bodies were light and flashed and jumped on the battlefield.
Soon tore open a hole in the ant colony, and the Chester Great Swordsman stood at the front of the team with a light blue fighting qi around his body, and the giant sword in his hand threw out a three-foot-long light blue sword qi, and the blade touched the body of the ghost pattern soldier ant, and it would instantly shatter the hard armor.
The Chester Great Swordsman rushed forward in one breath and killed dozens of meters, and did not stop until he met the four ghost-patterned male ants in front of him.
Behind him, a phantom of an angel holding a giant sword appeared, the Chester swordsman held the sword high above his head with both hands, the angel phantom became more condensed, exuding a divine aura all over his body, and also raised the giant greatsword several meters long in both hands above his head, the pure white wings of the angel phantom were fully opened, with a divine aura, and the five-meter-long big sword phantom slashed towards the four ghost-patterned male ants.
At the same time, the ghost-patterned males greeted them with dark red pincers, and circles of magic patterns emerged from their abdomen, constantly lighting up.
The angel's giant greatsword contained the full force of the Chester Great Swordsman's blow, and a white horse fell with the giant greatsword, changing from a vertical split to a sweep in mid-air, and the giant tentacles of the four ghost-patterned male ants were instantly cut off by the angel's phantom, and the last one was also half broken.
A large amount of light brown liquid gushed out from the wound in front of the skull, and with the hissing sound of the ghost-patterned males, the pure white archangel phantom dissipated above the head of the Chester Archswordsman......
Streams of acid erupted from the mouths of these ghost-patterned males, but the Chester Great Swordsman leaped forward, stepping on the back of one of the ghost-patterned males, and continued to charge towards the center of the group.
At this time, under the leadership of the captains, the three hundred swordsmen separated to the sides, forcing the ghost-patterned soldiers in front of them to retreat a few steps, and forcibly opened a passage dozens of meters long.
The four commanders, with their elite cavalry, rushed from the outermost part of the colony to the ghost-patterned male ant in the center......
At this moment, the Great Swordsman of Chester had already seen the ghost-patterned ant queen in mid-air.
Realizing that she might be in danger, the ghost queen quickly flapped her wings and flew upwards.
At this time, how could the Chester swordsman let this ghost ant queen escape, he stepped on the back of the male ant and jumped in the air, pulled out a short sword from his leg and threw it out, the short sword carried a trace of afterimage, the short sword was like hitting a piece of glass, making a crisp sound.
One of the Ghost Queen's wings shattered into a gap, and it couldn't maintain its balance in the air, and it staggered and slowly descended from mid-air.
Several ghost-patterned males tried to turn around to protect the queen, and at the same time pounced on the Chester Great Swordsman,
A group of knights also rushed up from behind the Chester Great Swordsman, spears thrust into the joints of the ghostly males.
The ghost pattern ant queen landed on the back of a ghost pattern male ant, and a faint magic pattern flashed on its body, and its dark green eyes slightly emitted a magical light.
'Mental Shock'
The Great Swordsman of Chester only felt that the battle qi around his body was dissipated by an invisible impulse, and then he had a splitting headache, like countless steel needles inserted into his head.
At this moment, he lost control of his body and almost fell.
He was a little in a trance, and with his balanced strength, he dodged the tentacle bite of the ghost-patterned male ant next to him, forcibly used the fighting energy in his body, stepped on the ground with both feet, and quickly withdrew with an afterimage.
A black ray shot out of the queen's eyes again......
Chester's eyes darkened, and he instantly lost all five senses of his body.
A huge round mountain appeared in front of him, and his body was restored, and he lay at the foot of the mountain, watching countless ghost-patterned red ants emerge from the burrows in the ground below the mountain and rush into the Invercargill Monster Forest.
He looked at his lilting body, and realized that this was the ghostly ant queen's natural ability: illusion.
For the innate ability of these ghost-patterned ant queens, the Chester Great Swordsman had also heard of it, and he had prepared for it before.
It's just that I didn't expect that I was carrying a sober pendant, and I was actually pulled into the environment by the ghost pattern ant queen.
On the battlefield, where did he dare to hesitate, endure the heartache and hammer it his chest, inlaid a rune stone on the magic pattern structure to activate the ......
The Great Swordsman of Chester vanished in front of him, and saw that the tentacles of the two ghost-patterned male ants were close at hand.
Chester's great swordsman's body turned into a phant, and the next second it appeared on the top of the ghost-patterned male's head, and the double-edged greatsword in his hand brought up a white sword qi and slashed heavily at the ghost-patterned male's skull, leaving a huge wound on the hard armor.
If there were other monsters, the Great Swordsman of Chester would be able to slay them with this sword.
But the hard armor of this ghost-patterned male ant was too thick, and such a sword only split a two-foot opening, and the Chester swordsman didn't have time to make up for it, so he quickly jumped up, dodged the attacks of the other ghost-patterned male ants, and slashed at the ghost-patterned ant queen not far away.
A ghost-patterned male ant stood in front of the queen, and the figure of the Chester swordsman who rushed towards the ghost-patterned ant queen dimmed until it disappeared.
The next moment, the Great Swordsman of Chester raised his great sword in both hands, and his body soared into the air.
Then it was like a falling meteorite, crashing into the body of the ghost queen......
Moments later, the Chester Swordsman was carrying the head of the ghost-patterned ant queen and standing on the back of a ghost-patterned male.
The tide of the ant colony battle also changed, and the cavalry and swordsmen gradually took the initiative.
Under the leadership of the Great Swordsman of Chester, a group of ghost-patterned male ants were gradually strangled by the swordsmen.
Just as the Great Swordsman of Chester was leading his men to clean up the mess of the battlefield, three green magic flares flew out over the Pass of Plantos Town, not far away.
……
Surdak climbed the pass and uncovered the blood-stained walls, and the city was in shambles, littered with broken armor and scattered weapons, and some wooden frames loaded with rolling stones had collapsed.
Andrew stood on the city wall, wielding the butcher's axe in his hand, splitting the heads of some of the ghost-patterned red ants that had just probed from outside the city wall, and a thick layer of ghost-patterned red ant corpses had been piled up under his feet.
The veterans next to him also lined up, standing behind the battlements, holding the knight's spear, and constantly stabbing the ghost-patterned red ants that climbed up to death.
The veterans cooperated with each other, and even if some ghost-patterned soldiers occasionally avoided spear assassination, they would then be beheaded by the knight's sword.
Dozens of bed crossbows at the head of the city have been damaged to varying degrees, and Samira is leading a group of archers to repair the bed crossbows at the head of the city.
Surdak walked to the oil tank of the city wall and saw that all the oil drums here were empty, and there were still heavy burn marks under the city wall, and it was estimated that all the fire oil here had been used up.
Fortunately, this time Surdak came to the town of Plantos this time, loaded a few barrels of fire oil on the body of the thunder rhinoceros, and now carried it to the head of the city, and poured it into it along the oil inlet at the head of the city without hesitation.
Unfortunately, he only brought six barrels of fire oil, which was far from covering the entire city wall, but only six bonfires were lit under the city.
As the fire under the city burned, the ghost-patterned red ants that were climbing the city wall were quickly forced back, and the defense pressure on the city wall was instantly reduced a lot.
The veterans kept throwing the corpses of the ghost-patterned red ants on the fire, and through the smelting of the raging flames, these ghost-patterned red ants came out of their bodies, and the fire became bigger.
Fortunately, the bed crossbow on the city wall was not too badly damaged.
After dismantling and repairing, thirty of the thirty-six bed crossbows were barely restored, and the wooden frame on which the giant crossbow arrows were stored at the head of the city was not damaged, and those giant crossbow arrows were still usable.
As the bed crossbows were restored one by one, the range of the bed crossbows covered the mountain walls on both sides, and the defense of the city head was basically stabilized.
The two commanders, Intas and Hampton, led their cavalry in the square below the pass, blocking the counterattack of the ghostly red ants in the town of Plantos.
Seeing that the situation at the head of the city was basically stabilized, Surdak asked Andrew and Samira to guard the city wall, and led Gallatin to the square below the pass, where the cavalry on the battlefield were relying on two thunderous rhinos to resist the attack of the ghostly red ants.
Obviously, the number of ghost-patterned red ants in the town has been significantly insufficient, and it has been unable to form a scale on this side of the square.
Surdak ordered all the cavalry to take turns to camp and rest in the square under the pass, mainly after most of the battle, these horses were already exhausted, and needed to drink and feed, and rest to recuperate.
Almost all of the cavalrymen were wounded, and everyone urgently needed to wash off all the acid and rot that had been stained on their bodies.
Beneath the walls of the pass, veterans of the cavalry battalion found some locked warehouses.
The cavalry kicked open a locked warehouse door, revealing stacks of giant crossbow arrows, boxes of steel arrows, rows of brand-new alloy bows, and repeater crossbows.
Seeing that it was still clean, Surdak asked the veteran to put the three marching beds in the warehouse, and a few lanterns were hung in the warehouse, and the room was lit up at once.
Then, without Surdak's orders, the veterans moved all the ghost-patterned ant heads collected on the battlefield to the warehouse.
The cavalrymen of the other two cavalry battalions also followed the example of this group of veterans and moved the heads of these ghost-patterned soldier ants and ghost-patterned male ants.
"Okay, let's follow the old rules, treat the seriously wounded first, and this time the seriously wounded of the three cavalry battalions are lined up ......together," Surdak commanded his subordinates.
There were 1,800 cavalry in the three cavalry battalions, and most of the cavalry were injured to varying degrees, and Surdak wanted to rely on the 'Holy Light Technique' for treatment, even if all the divine aura in his body was drained, it would definitely not be enough.
Therefore, this time, Surdak directly changed his strategy, and all the wounded would receive the blessing of the gods of the 'Divine Blessed Body', but those seriously injured cavalrymen would receive more refined treatment, cleaning wounds, stitching, Holy Light treatment, and so on.
This time the town of Plantos was attacked, and the sacrifices were harvested to be sufficient.
I don't know how many fierce battles will be fought next, and we can't be stingy at this time.
The two commanders, Intas and Hampton, came out of the makeshift treatment room and realized that the cavalry under the command of Commander Surdak was so brave because this cavalry battalion was not afraid of injury at all.
As long as the wounded soldiers persist on the battlefield...... will survive.
