The bursting arrows of the bed crossbow and the flint of the catapult made the ghostly soldiers miserable and retreated.

They were forced to give way to the stone bridge, and Andrew and Samira quickly took full possession of the three-kilometer-long stone bridge, and sure enough, the wider the stone bridge deck became, and the part of the stone bridge that went deep into the earth was almost two hundred meters in diameter.

There are actually other stone bridges nearby, but none of the other stone bridges are as big as this one.

Surdak led the army through the stone arch bridge and finally came to the other side of the lake.

At the foot of Shizhufeng Mountain, I found that this is simply the dynasty of ghost red ants, the entire mountain wall has been dug by ghost red ants, and as far as the eye can see, there are ant nests dug out by ghost red ants everywhere, and I don't know which hole is the real entrance to the ant nest.

Everywhere there are a few busy ghost-patterned worker ants, these ghost-patterned soldier ants about the size of a calf, lined up in a neat line, with a variety of food on their tentacles, gathered from all directions and burrowed into the burrow.

The lines of these worker ants look like exquisite runes from a distance.

Tens of thousands of ghost-patterned soldier ants are blocked under the stone bridge, these ant colonies are mixed with a large number of giant soldier ants, at this moment the tribal warriors at the forefront are holding shields, blocking the attack of ghost-patterned soldier ants, flint and bursting arrows shot by catapults and bed crossbows continue to explode in the ant colony, and more soldier ants are almost crazy rushing up.

There are a large number of giant soldier ants in the middle of the colony, and Samira must prioritize the disposal of these giant soldier ants, otherwise it will cause great pressure on the military formation if they are allowed to rush over.

With several rounds of counter-attacks by the ghost-patterned soldier ants, most of the northern bridgeheads, which had been occupied, were reoccupied by the ghost-patterned red ants.

Moreover, the army has been fighting on the bridge, and many giant crossbow arrows are shot and it is difficult to retract them.

By this point, the 10,000 gold coins worth of 10,000 gold bolts that Surdak had purchased from the merchant Malacombe had almost been depleted, and the rear supply had shown that it was not sufficient.

Every day, a large number of ghost-patterned soldiers and ants rushed out, and the battle on the stone bridge became more intense.

There are also some giant soldiers with black hard armor in the camp of soldiers, these giant soldiers are not afraid of ordinary crossbow arrows at all, and every time they emerge from the ant colony, Samira has to entertain them with magical giant crossbow arrows.

……

In November, there were two more heavy snowfalls.

The ice lake below the stone bridge is already able to support pedestrians, and it is no problem to run horses on the edges, but the Thunder Rhino can't walk on it yet.

The combat effectiveness of the ghost pattern soldier ants in the wind and snow was greatly reduced, and when Andrew and his cavalry retreated from the stone bridge, a howl erupted from the lake in the distance, and a behemoth was chasing the adventure groups and mercenary groups that had been collecting magic herbs overnight on the withered yellow grass by the lake.

A swarm of ghostly soldier ants emerged from the burrow behind it, raising their high tentacles to catch up with those who had fallen behind, and blood and limbs burst through the crowd.

Although the adventure group by the lake organized several counterattacks, they were quickly dispersed by the rampaging behemoth.

The members of the adventuring group and the mercenary group quickly approached the Surdak formation, and the ghostly soldiers and ants chased after them.

Andrew led the cavalry battalion to rush up the lake towards the behemoth at this moment.

The behemoth was twice as thick as the ten-meter-long ghost male, its armor was almost dyed black, its huge head was raised high, as if it had three pairs of tentacles growing on its head, and six huge legs supported its body, probably because the sand by the lake was too soft for it, and the six legs were stuck in it, and each time it had to pull out of the mud and sand to take a step forward.

Its huge fat belly dragged out a deep ravine in the sands by the lake, and it had a pair of extremely long tentacles, like two spears, on which were already hung the corpses of six or seven members of the party, and when the tentacles were waved, the corpses that had been completely fragmented hung on them and flicked back and forth, and the blood stained not only the two tentacles, but even the upper half of its body was stained red with sticky blood.

Samira stood on a platform high above the Thunder Rhino, and she asked her assistant to load a giant 'armor-piercing' crossbow on the bed crossbow.

It's a pity that this place is a little far from the battlefield, and I can only watch these members of the adventure group desperately flee this way.

At this moment, Andrew's five hundred cavalry had already rushed up to meet him.

However, when he saw a swordsman who summoned the phantom of the Sword Master being impaled through the chest by the behemoth, he knew that all the cavalry behind him could not be the match for the behemoth.

All the cavalry tried to distance themselves from the behemoth as much as possible, and there were also several powerful swordsmen in the group, desperately trying to hold the behemoth and create time for their teammates to escape.

They all knew how sharp and powerful the two tentacles of this behemoth were, and even the Excellence-level Tower Shield could easily pierce through them.

Luckily, it was stuck in the sand at the moment and it was extremely inaccessible, like a giant farming machine, and every step it took was sand flying on both sides.

Andrew didn't even think about the consequences of rushing forward, so he rode up single-handedly on his warhorse.

The five hundred cavalry behind him scattered to intercept and kill the ghost-patterned soldiers and ants of the other adventure groups.

The two-headed ogre had just walked out of the barracks, and happened to see the behemoth by the lake, and shouted to Surdak: "Dark, there's a male ant over there, Andrew may not be able to beat it, let's go and help......"

This was the first time Surdak had heard an ogre gather his companions to fight an opponent, and ogres rarely spoke like that.

But when Gulit said so, he quickly got out of the tent and rode after him.

Samira saw Surdak and Gulit chasing after Andrew, and sent the armed thunderrhino along the meadow by the lake to approach the behemoth.

Before Surdak could get close to the behemoth, he felt the earth under his feet rumble, and then the continuous huge earthquake almost made it impossible for people to stand firmly on the ground, and he saw a large bag suddenly bulge from the ground by a lake, and a behemoth broke through the permafrost and emerged from it, stretching out two three-meter-long pincers to stop Gulitum and Surdak in front of him.

In the burrow dug out behind it, countless ghost-patterned soldiers and ants poured out.

Samira stood on top of the armed thunder rhinoceros, less than two hundred meters away from the behemoth, and her bed crossbow happened to be filled with an 'armor-piercing' giant crossbow arrow, and she didn't even need to aim to shoot at such a behemoth.

The arrows flew out, with a hint of the wind elemental......

Instantly shot at the behemoth in front of him, but the 'armor-piercing' crossbow arrow was actually pierced on the thick armor on its chest, and it couldn't shoot through the hard armor skin at all.

The behemoth also looked down at its chest in amazement, and then let out a furious roar.

The shockwave rippling from his feet blew the ghost-patterned soldier ants who had just crawled out of the wormhole and rolled privately, and Gulitham was even pushed back by the circular shockwave for more than ten meters.
