However, phenomena sometimes do not develop according to people's minds, and some things may be as fragile as they seem, while others are stronger than they think. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the black monster rushed towards the improvised wall with all the strength of its body, a gray curtain of light lit up on the empty ground. They were like ethereal light and shadow, but this almost insubstantial brilliance turned into a wall that stopped the monsters from moving.

The monsters were caught off guard, and the huge black body didn't have time to slow down before it had already slammed into the gray light curtain that suddenly blocked the front. The gray tabernacle that seemed to be weak and powerless did not move at all, but the two giant beasts that rushed to the front of the other party fell to the ground because of the recoil force of the impact.

Boom!

At the same time, a violent impact suddenly sounded in the eastern wilderness, as if someone had smashed a hammer on a metal plate. The "tin can" buried by the sorcerers exploded, and the dirt mixed with the contents of the device and scattered into a cloud of mist.

The attackers apparently did not expect to be stopped in this way, and the black wolves that followed closely behind also cautiously stopped. They had apparently become accustomed to the old defensive structures during their days wandering around Lemongrass, and were thrown into disarray in the face of the sudden change of spells.

Even with a high level of intelligence, monsters are monsters after all, and relying on intuition to act can easily be toyed with and applauded by those who know the laws of their actions. For a moment's hesitation in the as-yet-unnamed black "giant wolves", the mist erupted from the ground engulfing their bodies.

The mist was composed of cold ice particles and moist soil that seeped into the cold water, which were dispersed into the air by the mana, causing the temperature to drop by more than ten degrees Celsius. A drop of water would freeze into ice in an instant, and white ice ballasts appeared on the black fur of the giant wolf trapped in the fog - and the ice was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, entangled around its body.

The slight hesitation caused by the tabernacle became the source of the wolf's inability to move any further, and the white color that continued to spread on the monster's body slowed down the movement of its limbs. Allowing them to struggle with all their might will only make the ice spread further, and their actions will become more inadequate.

- So they became the best targets for shooters.

The roofs of the houses near the outer walls had been reinforced by the vigilante regiments, forming a fortress for sniping the enemy. The soldiers under the orders of the centurion rushed to the front line of the monster's attack before the monster broke through the outer defenses, standing on the roof of the house and sniping at the monster wrapped in cold air with an infantry-style mechanic's gun.

Bang! Bang!

The roof of several houses near the eastern wooden wall sounded the sound of the mechanic firing, and the silver metal projectile flew towards the monster's body through the night. The monster's dark black body bloomed with a few blood flowers in the blink of an eye, but apparently none of them dealt fatal damage to the enemy.

Only two of the monsters that fell to the ground were incapacitated by the heavy blow of the mechanic, and the rest of the monsters only appeared to have some abrasions.

If you look closely, the soldiers at the forefront are holding the Empire's standard machine gun from the last war, codenamed E1890, which was widely equipped by the Imperial Legion. The regular ration magazine contains 10 rounds of all-metal shelled ammunition, and if necessary, it can be replaced with magic bullets enhanced by mana crystals.

This is a very good mechanic, which has a good balance in terms of rate of fire and power, so it has always been well evaluated in the army. If there is any fly in the ointment, it is that it is slightly behind the times, and its performance has been compared by the new generation of military equipment.

The Empire's garrisons in the Northern Governorate were not front-line troops, so most of the mechanics widely used by the local legions were old weapons that had been re-equipped from the front. Although the E1890 Infantry Mechanic Gun is not the latest model, its power cannot be underestimated, and even if the tough fur of those "giant wolves" can withstand swords and other slashes, it will not be able to protect them in the face of the continuous accumulation of fire.

The metal projectile has a stronger piercing force than a normal crossbow, and can shoot through the fur of the "giant wolf" and roar into their flesh. I don't know if it was because they smelled the blood coming out of the wound, and the constant injuries provoked the ferocity, and their actions became more violent.

Even if you are not human, you should be more or less cowardly by feeling the constant onset of pain - which is a sign of danger. But these monsters seem to have gained strength through injury, and the ice that blocked their bodies kept making a cracking sound that was on the verge of collapse.

The eyes of the pitch-black "giant wolf" turned blood-red, and he stared viciously at the soldiers who shot at them, as if he was about to bite their throats in the next moment. The swollen muscles made their bodies seem to enlarge in a circle, and even the giant snake attached to its tail seemed to become thicker.

But compared to the blood-red eyes, the snake on the tail has a strange presence, it no longer flicks aimlessly, but stares at the soldiers with the eyes of the main body. Even though it wasn't aimed at him, Flick could feel a strange magic emanating from the viper's eyes.

In an instant, the soldier who was being targeted by the "tail" suddenly stopped moving, and looked as if he was engulfed by fear from nowhere, and even his body was paralyzed. Frog Targeted by Snake - Although the image of the two sides is different, the soldier who is restrained from movement is no different from the frog.

Sensing that his companions suddenly became as stiff as dead men, the soldiers were obviously a little confused, but they did not stop firing.

Based on his mental knowledge, Frick judged that it might be an effect similar to that produced by the "evil eye", and that some monsters were indeed born with the ability to exert magic on their subjects through their eyes. It's not like the venom stream that weak animals don't have fangs and claws to use as weapons to survive, but it's a much more aggressive force.

Monster scholars believe that this is a primitive form of magic, and as a result, monsters with this ability are often sent to the test bench as samples. For monsters, the Evil Eye is not only a good ability to hunt, but also more effective when facing dangerous enemies.

"Contact the Eastern Defense, the first and second groups will immediately support the interfered players, and the third group will aim at the 'head' on the tail of the beasts and shoot at them!"

However, there is a limit to the power that can be unleashed through the eyes, and at the same time, it will expose the undefendable weakness to the enemy. While the monsters that still had the physical strength to move were able to cast the Evil Eye by gazing at the soldiers, Captain Cadiz Milt gave the order to shoot the team members who had not received the magic power.

I saw that the clerk who was following the centurion injected some magic into the metal box in his hand, and the soldiers who were still on the front line received the content of the order. The people who were still able to move were immediately divided into three groups, one group of people kept shooting, and the remaining two groups took away their stiff teammates.

The "snake body" that attracted the attention of the soldiers obviously did not have the defensive power of giant wolf fur, and would fall into painful convulsions when hit by a single bullet. Once they continue to shoot the middle of their mana, soldiers paralyzed by the effect of the "Evil Eye" will no longer be affected.

Although it is impossible to recover the physical strength taken away in an instant, as long as the body is no longer as stiff as a corpse, it is enough to boost the morale of the soldiers. While the power to immobilize people in an instant is incredible, it's not an irreversible change.

The roar of the Mechanic's Gun became regular again, followed by a "poof" sound after the bullet hit the enemy and pierced through the flesh. In normal times, Frick could say that he hated the sound very much, but tonight, it symbolizes victory and safety.

The sound of shooting from the eastern side wall continued, and most of the monsters in the first wave had fallen under the baptism of projectiles, and only a few were still barely trying to break free from the spells that bound them. However, they have already left several penetrating wounds on their bodies, and it is only a matter of time before they fall.

The fight of the trapped beasts, the monsters that fell into the trap set by Sir Leinster and died, made Flick think of this word. The scars all over their bodies made them extremely violent, but in the end, there was no glimmer of hope, and they could only fall one by one under the fire of the bullets.

Blackened blood stained the snow-covered land, but the fishy liquid probably didn't make the barren land around Lemongrass fertile. The liquid even reacted with the magic of manipulating the cold in some way, making a "stinging la-la-" sound.

In just a few minutes, all the monsters that came from the east were shot by the soldiers, and the lifeless bodies were no longer a threat to the village. But Frick felt that their behavior was too strange, such a violent behavior was contrary to the laws of any monster's action, and there was no benefit in it.

The root cause of monster attacks on settlements and animal disasters is almost always due to food plundering, or it is possible that the existence of settlements poses a threat to their survival. However, now that they have found a head-on attack after launching an attack, they should also choose to retreat knowing the danger.

However, these monsters had no intention of retreating from the beginning to death, and even if they were subjected to intensive strafing by the mechanics, they did not take a step back, as if they were a group of berserkers who forgot to die. If it weren't for the cold air encapsulated in the "can" that held them back, those monsters would have destroyed the walls even if they used their last strength.

But even if each of them is strong, these monsters are flesh and blood, and they will die from injuries - they can be destroyed, they can be defeated. Looking at the hordes of monsters that could no longer stand up, Frick felt that his fear of them had faded slightly.

Until the other side of the village sounded again the sound of the monster attacking.
