Chapter 133: The Monster Army (Fifth Update)
"Soth! These monsters have obtained a large amount of weapons and armor by raiding the villages and caravans around Myratma.
They are no longer ordinary robbers.
Rather, it is an army of evil that threatens the lives of cities and ordinary people.
Whether it's for the safety of the caravan or for the protection of those innocent civilians, we must act.
I know you don't want to get into too much trouble, but don't sit idly by and watch the evil expand this time.
Otherwise, countless people will die because of it. ”
Aroline stood in front of Zuo Si with a serious face.
Obviously, through the short battle just now, she had realized that with her pitiful combat skills, let alone dealing with an adult red dragon that controlled an army of tens of thousands of monsters, even the large group of goblins who were easily slaughtered by the Phantom Legion could not defeat them.
If we want to solve this crisis, we must use the power of Zuo Si.
Whether it is the already terrifying Shadow Legion, or the terrifying spell-casting ability that he himself cannot guess according to common sense, it can deliver a fatal blow to an army of monsters that number up to tens of thousands.
Looking at the young palain's expectant eyes, Zuo Si pretended to think for a few minutes, and then quickly nodded: "What you said makes sense. With the current dire situation, I really can't sit idly by. In that case, let's simply wipe out this group of complete monsters. ”
"Huh? You...... You agreed! ”
Aroline's mouth was wide open, her face full of unbelievable surprise.
She couldn't believe that someone like Zuo Si, who had a mature mind that was not commensurate with his age, would be easily persuaded by a few words from herself.
"Why not?"
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders, touched his chin and explained, "After all, I'm not a devil, and I'm willing to do something good occasionally."
Plus the threat of this monster army is visible to the naked eye.
Without cleaning them up, it would be almost impossible for a caravan to pass through Myratma safely.
And I'm looking forward to what kind of bounty the lord of Myratma will offer to solve this crisis. ”
"And what are you going to do?" Aroline asked impatiently.
"It's easy! I need to first figure out what is happening on the other side of the Iss River. ”
Speaking of this, Zuo Si immediately took out a creature card and chose to pay mana to summon without hesitation.
Moment!
A large manticore, more than three meters long and weighing nearly half a ton, appeared in front of everyone out of thin air.
Especially those slaves and civilians who had just been frightened, after seeing this terrible monster, they all subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away.
But he was soon intercepted by mercenaries who had seen a little of the world.
You can't blame them for being cowardly, it's just that this unexpected appearance is too scary and scary.
Even Zuo Si, who was mentally prepared, was obviously taken aback.
In particular, the ogre-like face, as if it had been peeled off, and the large mouth with at least three rows of sharp fangs, anyone who saw it would feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
Coupled with the dense spikes on the tail like steel needles, it will definitely make a person with dense phobia die on the spot. …
"Ahh I smelled blood, death, and delicious fresh meat. ”
As soon as he was summoned, the manticore stared at the corpses of the dead monsters around him and began to drool.
As a typical evil magical creature, it does not have a high IQ, but it has the most basic ability to speak.
However, Zuo Si ignored the manticore's desire for flesh and blood, and directly cast a two-ring prophecy magic [Visual Connection] to connect the vision of the summoned creature with himself.
As soon as the spell took effect, he ordered, "You now fly over the river ahead and make a great circle north along the edge of the city on the other side of the river." Remember, try not to be spotted by too many people. ”
"As you wish!"
Although the manticore, who was not allowed to eat, looked a little reluctant, he still honestly chose to carry out the order.
In the blink of an eye, it flapped the huge wings on its back and soared into the air, quickly turning into an inconspicuous little black dot.
Zuo Si himself sat motionless in the carriage, observing the situation on the ground through the perspective of a manticore.
With great speed and skill, it didn't take long for the big guy to cross the great river that ran through the entire kingdom of Tesser, and saw a city that stood at the mouth of the river and was surrounded by towering walls.
Undoubtedly, this is the southernmost border city of the Tesser kingdom - Myratma.
It was once part of the ancient dwarven kingdom of Shanata, but was later conquered and occupied by the rising Kalinshan people.
It is said that there are still intricate tunnels and treasures left behind by dwarves.
Myratma looks no different from Manon to the south, and most of the buildings still retain the Shayn style.
Whether it's the dome-shaped spires or the three-story stone buildings that line the streets, they give the illusion that it should be part of the carlins cedar.
Normally, as an important hub and transit point for border trade, it should be very busy and lively.
But through the perspective of the manticore, Zuo Si found that there was not even a single person on the streets of the entire city.
Only the walls and gates were surrounded by heavily armed soldiers.
No!
To be exact, it should be a young and middle-aged civilian who has been temporarily conscripted.
This is despite the fact that these men are dressed in old-looking leather armor and carry weapons such as spears, scimitars, and crossbows.
But the frightened expressions and shivering reactions were not hard to see that most of them had no military training.
It was only under the supervision and urging of some officers and veterans that they were forced to come to the city walls to defend the city at their feet.
After all, the previous initiative has caused Myratma to lose almost two-thirds of its troops.
The adventurers, mercenaries, and temples that had been active also suffered a devastating blow.
At the moment, there should be no other way for the local lords to do anything other than mobilizing the whole people.
Outside the walls, thousands of goblins, goblins, bear goblins, orcs, half-orcs, gnolls, ogres, half-giants, wolves, lizardmen, snakemen, and many magically controlled animals surrounded the city.
The goblins who are proficient in the art of warfare are even directing those cannon fodder goblins and captured humans to cut down trees, doing everything they can to build all kinds of siege equipment.
In the open space behind, at least four large siege towers, a ram for breaking the city, as well as seven or eight crude stone throwers and a large number of ladders can be clearly seen.
No doubt!
This is an army of monsters in the true sense of the word, not the bandits I encountered before who can only rob but have no ability to attack.
Once they start to launch a general attack, it will be basically impossible to stop it with the current strength and quality of personnel in Myratma.
At most, the priests who relied on the city walls, arrow towers, and major temples, plus the few remaining mages and warlocks in the city, barely resisted for a few days.
It was only a matter of time before it was lost and fell.
Coupled with the large amount of food, steel, weapons, armor and other materials obtained through looting, this huge monster army has no shortage of logistical supplies at all.
The arcane spellcaster among the snake people and the priest among the orcs perfectly make up for the lack of spellcasters.
It is no wonder that Manon's defenders thought that Myratma could be conquered and captured at any time.
However, what made Zuo Si feel incomprehensible was how exactly Vermes managed to bring together so many different kinds of monsters.
And then make sure that they don't break out into civil strife, but are as disciplined as an evil and orderly army? . .
