"Wishes are not fish, otherwise the world will cast their nets. ”

Although Quest managed to "recruit" the half-lich Sneijder, he still had to face great trouble as he made his way to the fortress.

"Are you sure the undead can't be controlled?" asked Quest as he turned to the floating skull beside him.

"Sir, you have no doubt about this, I have tried three times and have not been able to establish a psychic connection, which means that it already has a manipulator. ”

The half-lich replied to Quest in a cold, unchanged tone. According to that damn agreement, he could not refuse or misinterpret any task that Ques had given him during the period of "hard labor", or he would suffer a permanent reduction in his intelligence as punishment.

In order to determine who was behind the slowly moving monster, Snead summoned his gargoyle butler from afar, and it was the gargoyle's report that made him and Quest realize that it was a good thing to do by a group of ill worms.

"Big deal, I'm afraid this immortal creature already has the strength of a legendary monster!" Quis silently assessed in his heart.

"Your Excellency, the monster has entered the realm of Hellroar and the Spellcaster's attack. "A bone demon herald has sent new information.

"Order all the artillery to adjust the angle and concentrate the fire. Quest pondered for a moment, then continued, "Let the caster make it a priority to plug the hole that leads to the back of the third layer of defense, and make sure that there are no more surprise attacks like this." ”

The order was like a mountain, and the command of the fortress commander was transmitted as fast as possible, and it was executed at a faster speed.

The enemy's sheer size makes it easy for Quest's barbs who wield their cannons to aim. A whole hundred artillery salvos called Hellroar made a deafening loud noise, and the rising smoke filled the artillery positions throughout the fortress.

Two-thirds of the hundreds of shells hit the target, and most of the rest bombarded the mushroom grove around the target. The huge impact made this giant composed of corpses and decay stagger.

It was as if he felt a great pain, and the phosphorus fire that made up his facial features boiled. The reticulated meridians of yellow-green pus throughout its body spray a large amount of disgusting fluid, contaminating large swathes of the surrounding land.

The calamity insect group hiding behind its own creation was naturally not affected by the artillery fire. Looking at the mushrooms around him that had been ignited by the shelling and the other Tanari demons lying on the ground, he or they let out a nervous maniacal laugh, as if to congratulate himself on his own integrity, as if to mock the other fallen of his kind.

The demon of worms bent down, and the clumps of worms reached into the ground, pulling out a fragment of a cannonball embedded in it.

The shell fragments were stained with pink and green sap - left by an acid mist worm that had been hit by a ricocheting projectile and "bursting". Most of the remains of this peculiarly colored acid mist worm were hanging from the fast fragment at this point.

The Calamity Worm Mass stuffed the pink-green worm remnants into its body, and it was amazing that the Acid Mist Worm, which had already died due to the "bursting pulp", was actually reborn on the body of the Worm Mass.

This is a specially evolved acid mist worm, far smaller than other similar species and has no attack ability, and its existence is to be used as a communication tool for high-level worm demons.

Quietly feeling the message that the worm had conveyed to him, the Calamity Worm immediately took the newborn worm out of its body again.

The claws of the same clump of worms grabbed a large amount of clods of dirt, and the Calamity Bugs buried the pink-green worm back into the earth.

"We're called the Bugs because of how many of us there are. ”

At that moment, a new artillery attack once again covered the huge body of the Calamity Bringer in front of the Calamity, and the giant of corpses and decay was staggered again, and the crater on his body that had not yet healed deepened.

"Gollum...... Vomit"

A devastating missile of negative energy and yellow-green corpse fluid erupted from the monster's mouth and flew condescendingly towards the defenders of the fortress who attacked him.

The Herald of Calamity uses the method of "spitting" to launch the first attack since its birth. The disgusting monster "Thick Phlegm" also has amazing destructive power.

Although the artillery units behind the defensive line were not attacked, the defenders in the third defensive position on the periphery of the fortress were spat in the face by this "thick phlegm".

A full two-and-a-half-man squad of ten, nearly thirty heterotopic mercenary defenders, and two captains of the squad were baptized by yellow-green corpse fluid shells.

No matter how well they are armoured, they can't avoid its powerful impact damage, not to mention that the Calamity Messenger "Thick Phlegm" also carries deadly toxins.

All the downed defenders were quickly poisoned to death, and this was not the end, the negative energy contained in the yellow-green slime polluted every inch of land it touched.

As the viscous liquid spreads, large puddles of negative energy are formed. The corpses of the fallen soldiers had all undergone terrible changes.

The corpses that had been lying down all had spasms, and the souls that had not yet had time to dissipate were bound by the muddy puddle rich in negative energy, and zombies covered in slime rose from the mud.

"Watch out for those zombies, are there priests or mages, dispel toxins and negative energy fields. ”

The gendarmerie squad, composed of several skull demons and barbed demons, immediately suppressed the panicked soldiers, and immediately made emergency measures according to the situation.

However, the Calamity Messenger, who was moving towards the fortress, saw that his attack had an effect. More "thick phlegm" missiles ejected from its mouth.

The sticky and deadly yellow-green liquid was thrown at Ques's fortress again and again, not only breaking down a small section of the city wall, but also connecting the poisonous mire full of negative energy on the ground.

What's more, on a whim, the messenger of calamity pulled off one of his arms and threw it as a weapon at the fortress's defensive walls.

"No retreat. ”

A group of barbed demons led by bone demons stopped the panic that was gradually spreading. Under the threat of hook scythes and machetes, the vast majority of soldiers from the Terraplane chose to compromise. The sporadic explosion of stabs was cleaned up on the spot by these gendarmerie squads into the shape of undead creatures that would be difficult to turn into even if they were infected by negative energy.

"Mr. Ricknaz, what's your observation record?" asked Quest, standing in the fortress command room, using a communication circle.

Guarded by Mechanic 21 and the Ogre brothers, the goblin engineer volunteered to lead his men around the periphery of the battlefield. In some inconspicuous corners, he deployed a new invention that can observe the whole battlefield more objectively, the "Goblin Battlefield Observer".

This new invention is covered in camouflage rocks, and its core looks like a metal eye. Dozens of mechanical eyes throughout the core can be telescopic and twisted to achieve a vision effect without dead ends.

In addition to the normal observation system, this "Goblin Battlefield Observation Rule" also uses the principle of infrared imaging to simulate dark vision, and this function can also be used to detect some enemies that use low-level stealth to lurk.

The new invention is powered by the lead-acid battery from Cottman's manufacturing plant in the desert of the ash world, a simple but surprisingly easy battery that surprises the goblin Ricknaz.

After figuring out the principle, he realized that this was a new form of energy storage in addition to steam energy and spell energy, the two most studied energy sources by the scientific research team under the Wrench family. According to Quest, this is a whole new field of knowledge that converts matter into electricity through chemical change.

With a small amount of energy, he was able to invent this new "Goblin Battlefield Observer".

"Mr. Commander Quest, I think you might need to take a look at this. Ricknaz replied to Quest after installing the last observer.

Through dozens of new inventions erected, the situation within a radius of several miles with the fortress as the center was fully presented on the magic sandbox in the command room where Quis was.

"Outside the basin where the fortress is located, a huge number of demon armies have been found, and these are all demons parasitized by acid mist worms!"

The goblin Ricknaz and his party had already opened the portal through the beacon reserved in advance and returned to the combat command room, except for the mechanical samurai who could not have expressions and often had strange arguments, everyone else had a solemn look on their faces.

"So, this difficult monster in front of you is actually feintting, and the purpose is still to create chaos, so what is their real attack?"

Quest was saying these words to the newly recruited "little brother" half-lich Sneijder, and of all the people present, he was the only one who had been in this abyss for more than three hundred years.

The half-lich looked at the huge demon army that was about to be assembled on the magic sandbox, and said in an icy tone, "Worm Gate." Worm Gate for sure—"

"I will open the door of worms for you, and the whole army will attack!"

The group of calamity insects, which had originally stood behind the huge calamity messenger, was now standing on top of the former's huge head.

The worm mass erupted into another uniform speech, and worms snag down from its body, and the entire Calamity Worm was only a breath or so for a breath or so, like ice and snow melting, covering the head and shoulders of the monster of the Calamity, as if it had put on a blanket of acid mist worms.

"Worm Gate", "Worm Gate", "Worm Gate", ......

Each of the Acid Mist Worms that originally formed the Calamity Worm Group was chanting the same slogan in the Abyssal language at this time, that is, to make an announcement, but also to remind themselves of what they were going to do next, there was no way, the Calamity Worm Regiment that had been lifted from the state of aggregation had lost most of their intelligence.

After reminding each other, the acid mist worms that make up the worm blanket twisted and buckled, and soon formed a huge door-shaped structure.
