Chapter 152: Volcanic Spider

The battle situation on the northern wall of Isttalon is not a crisis but it is very troublesome, after the rebellion, the garrison garrison stationed on the wall has suffered a lot of losses, while the number of groundwalker troops gathered outside the city is increasing, and the initiative of mankind will inevitably disappear little by little. (For the latest chapter reading, please visit)

The new Earthwalker troops had a very different style from Rangalia's troops, and His Highness's legion was rather cautious, while this group of Earthwalkers was arrogant and domineering. After gathering a certain number of troops, they brazenly launched an attack on the human city.

As a military fortress with historical roots, the outer walls of Isttalon are among the strongest even within the kingdom, and it is difficult to defeat them head-on unless you encounter a powerful monster like the Obsidian Titan.

Although it was not built with an enemy in mind, the height and thickness of the walls themselves were the most powerful protective measures. Even the earthwalkers, who are adept at climbing and digging, are helpless for a moment by the smooth appearance of the city walls.

However, for the arrogant and domineering Earthwalker Legion under the Ranga Aka Rosette, there was never an option to retreat from the war, and after the failure of the first attack, they not only did not give up, but launched a second attack without hesitation.

The warriors of Isttalon are battle-hardened, but the legions of Earthwalkers are equally intelligent in war. After several attempts, they discovered the weakness of humanity - the lack of garrisons on the walls. On the flip side, however, their own numbers are also insufficient to launch an all-out offensive. The real advantage of the Earthwalkers is that they are more mobile outside the city than the humans on the city walls, and can freely choose the direction of their attack, while the humans can only temporarily defend passively due to internal reasons.

From the human side, there was no shortage of defensive equipment on the city walls, but due to the problems of Commander Anderson, the troops remaining in the city could not come to the rescue in time. Ahmed's group of mountain hunters overpowered the Earthwalker's Firehounds, but this advantage was reversed as soon as the opposing Spider Riders joined the battle.

The Alpha Spider Knight, the main combat unit of Princess Ranga Akalian's legion, is a half-human, half-spider giant monster that can shoot acidic slime similar to spells from its mouth organs, and its range is even inferior to that of a human archer, and it can also carry another kind of Mantes raider who is good at melee combat with the Warlord Worm Guardian Mantes Scout. 【Starter】

Unlike the subordination of the Human Knights, the Alpha Spider Riders are actually dominated by mounts, and the Mantes Marauders on them are the secondary guards.

The Alpha Spider Knights immediately displayed terrifying combat prowess when they joined the battle, and they had super bounce abilities that allowed them to jump directly onto the city walls, drop the Mantes Marauders and go on a killing spree. El's improvised mixed forces were caught off guard and nearly suffered heavy losses, but it was Palanti and Ahmed who managed to kill the monsters with all their might.

By the time El returned, the fighting had just subsided, and the walls were littered with the corpses of human soldiers and Earthwalker insects. Palanti hid in the corner in a daze with his sword in his arms, and Ahmed slashed around the spider's corpse with a knife, not knowing what to do.

Reinforcements brought by Timmy have taken over the defenses of the city walls, along with the news of the deaths of GLP and Anderson. The deaths of the two senior commanders were devastating to the morale of the improvised mixed forces, with the cavalry and black knights of the city defense corps losing their direct commanders, and the priests of the Temple of Life were even more tragic, and they didn't even know what position they should hold.

But now they haven't completely lost hope, as El has been officially promoted. Although everyone knew in their hearts that this was just an expedient measure in a state of war, he might not be able to reach the status and prestige of the three-headed guard dog in Istalon before. But for these confused soldiers, there is at least one backbone.

As El climbed the city wall, he immediately felt the countless expectant eyes around him converge on him, most of which were cast on the silver badge on his chest. He could clearly feel that after his arrival, although the soldiers did not speak, their inner spirit was significantly improved.

"What's going on out there now?" El asked Ahmed.

"God knows what those bugs think, maybe they'll rush up later. Ahmed shook his head with a wry smile and broke off two thick spider legs and slung them on his shoulders.

Humans really can't understand the mindset of the Earthwalkers, but thankfully they have a real Underlander in their hands. El followed Ahmed into the tower, and saw the kobold crouching around the campfire humming a little tune, using a wooden stick to pick up the spider's legs and grilling on the fire.

"Aha, the legendary Volcanic Dreadworm Legs, one of the most famous delicacies in the underworld. Friends, try it! No need to add any condiments, just sprinkle a little salt on it, and it is the most delicious taste! The highnesses who are close to His Royal Highness Ranga Akaren are the most fond of entertaining distinguished guests with this dish. Poor Apache had only heard of it before, but never before ......"

The kobold snort shook his head and snorted, rubbing his fingers to break off the roasted spider's leg, putting it in his mouth and sucking it hard, with an intoxicated expression of happiness on his face.

El rubbed his temples and gritted his teeth and asked Ahmed, "Why do I think this guy has become an uncle now?"

"Because you need a professional who knows the information of the Earthwalkers, archers. Apache shook off the shell of the spider's leg and grinned.

"I don't trust this guy. El said to Ahmed.

"We don't have a better choice, at least he can tell us the answer, and even if it's made up, it's better than nothing," Ahmed said helplessly, spreading his hands.

"Well, Godstick, looking at your laid-back appearance, aren't those bugs going to trouble us again?" El asked patiently, rolling his eyes as he sat down across from the Apache.

"At least until tonight you can rest easy, because they have more important things to do. Apache smacked his lips and snatched Ahmed's spider leg from his hand and placed it on the campfire, "Don't worry, archers, we can enjoy this meal before we think about escaping." ”

"What's more important? Tell me everything you know. El said, staring into Apache's eyes.

"I don't know if you humans have similar fables, but for us kobolds, sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing. A glint of wisdom flashed in Apacchi's two small eyes, and he cracked his mouth and smiled: "What's the point of knowing the secrets of the Earthwalkers? You can fight against the great Ranga Akalian? There are only two paths in front of you, one is life and the other is death, if you still want to live, why don't you put your mind on escaping?"

"Escaping is also a technical job. El said very seriously: "For a hunter, only with sufficient intelligence can he make the best escape plan. ”

"The best plan of escape is to follow the guidance of the prophet. Apache smiled and said, "But since you have to know, it doesn't matter if you tell you." ”

The kobold diviner raised the spider leg in his hand and handed it to El, who sniffed twice with his nose and smelled a fresh aroma, so he didn't refuse. He had eaten even more bizarre things in the forest before, and he understood very well the truth that delicious food should not be disguised.

The spider leg meat was layered like garlic cloves, and the taste was similar to the river crab he had eaten, but it was more tender and refreshing, and it was indeed a rare delicacy that made El whet his appetite. Little Langa, who was hidden in his arms, smelled this aroma and immediately became restless, saying that this thing should be eaten by her the most. El slapped his chest helplessly, and tore off a large piece of flesh and stuffed it into his collar under Ahmed's astonished gaze.

"This thing is called the Volcanic Dire Spider, and it is a special race in the territory of His Highness Ranga Akalian. She was one of the most powerful Highnesses of the Earthwalker Clan, and the previous Highness Rangaria was nothing more than a child in front of her. Apache flipped the other spider legs, and his usually unorthodox face finally became serious.

"For His Highness the Earthwalker, they are undying enemies. If I'm not mistaken, His Highness Ranga Akalian's forces must have followed His Highness Rangalia to the surface. And your city is just a pebble in the way of her troops. ”

"The large forces of the Earthwalker Legion cannot reach the surface world through narrow passages, and can only build portals like His Highness Rangalia, which they call wormholes themselves...... Building portals requires a lot of flesh and blood, and this area has just been swept away by His Highness Rangalia, and the only living colony is this human city, which is why you are under attack. ”

"It's just that your stone is relatively hard, and after they find that the forcible attack is not worth the loss, they will turn to the last resort - to build a portal with the flesh and blood of their own troops!"

"I don't know how long it will take Earthwalkers to build a portal, but at least they won't have the strength to invade during this time. But on the other hand, you must be prepared to bear the cost. After the real Earthwalker Legion teleports over, it will first target the city!" (Go read OM) (Jiangsu.com)
