6. The Decisive Battle of the Wild Sands Chapter 327 Return to the Horse Fortress (I)
The young man and Mira had a lot of trouble when they returned to the fortress.
Outside the fortress there are three abrupt boulders, each seven or eight meters high, as tall as a small hill. The defenders of the tribe carved these boulders into the shape of a large and small bunker, on which dozens of archers were stationed to cover each other.
As soon as the young man's army approached the fortress of Huima, they were simultaneously fired at from all directions. He and Mira made several more attempts, but were repulsed by a rain of arrows from the megalithic fortress.
When the assault fails, Mira proposes to lead her special operations team up from their shooting blind spot. But she didn't expect that after her repeated observations, all the blind spots could not be climbed, and all the places that could be climbed would be shot into hedgehogs by random arrows.
In desperation, the young man could only send small forces to harass the megalithic fortress, intending to consume their supplies - after all, there were twenty or thirty people stationed on each megalith fort, and with such frequent archery, there must always be a time when the arrows ran out.
Even if they had the foresight to stock up on 100,000 arrows in the stone bunkers in advance, the daily food consumption of so many people would not be a small amount.
It was not easy to store food in the desert, and it was certainly not possible to cultivate and breed in stone bunkers, and theoretically after a few days of siege, those in the stone bunkers would either surrender or starve to death.
But on the third night, the young man was suddenly woken up by Mira: "There is a situation on those big rocks. β
The young man hurriedly followed Mira to the front line, only to see several ropes flying out of the huge stones at some point, linking up with each other in the air to form a ropeway network.
Boxes of supplies, bundles of arrows swayed out of the Huima fortress on the ropeway, and one after another into the three stone fortresses.
"I'm going!" The young man almost vomited blood, "There is still such a way to play?" β
Mira reminded in a low voice, "A captive said that the guards over there are now Heru and Craigie. β
The young man sighed. Heru is one of the few brave and resourceful people in the eighteen tribes, and his tribe originally had only a few dozen people, but now it has developed into a large tribe of more than 2,000 people under his years of management.
It can be said that if it weren't for the bigger and stronger clan inherited by Isam, the position of the leader of this alliance probably wouldn't have fallen to him.
"What now?" Mira asked quietly.
The young man looked at the boulder bunkers in embarrassment, pretending not to speak, but in fact he couldn't think of a way. Just as he was at a loss, a huge black shadow flashed hurriedly in the night and caught his attention.
Desert giant spiders?
The beast seemed to sense that someone was watching it, and suddenly stopped. The rock-like body slowly turned its head, its compound eyes glowing with a turquoise phosphorescence.
A smile appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth, "The key to breaking through these fortresses lies in this spider." β
Mira looked suspicious: "You don't want me to climb up on this disgusting thing, do you?" Let me start by saying that my ability to drive the beast is only enough to control it for a short time. β
Obviously spiders are a terrible thing for women.
"Take it easy." The young man laughed, "Do I seem to be such an unreasonable person?" β
As he spoke, the soul flame on his tail ring flickered, and the red dragon giant sword had already appeared in his palm, "Let's go, let's go and catch this demonic beast first." β
For ordinary people, it is a great thing to be able to survive from the claws of the desert giant spider, but the young man is now full of ambition to catch it?
Mira sneered, "Isn't that unreasonable? β
The two silently carried their weapons and slowly approached the terrifying beast. Its huge mouthparts, sharp arthrops, and glowing compound eyes can be clearly seen in the night.
The young man gripped his greatsword tightly, and Mira took out a steel fork and tied a thick rope made of vines to it.
The desert giant spider watched the two figures leaning over, knowing that the comer was not good, and the breath of soul magic gradually sprouted on his body.
Its massive body spun around in the desert, staring warily at Mira and the young man. Six strong arthropods made deep marks on the ground, and the hairy body exuded majesty and ferocity from the primordial soul beast.
"This guy's venom is pretty dangerous." Mira whispered to the young man that with her years of experience hunting in the jungle, the threat of this desert spider must not be underestimated.
The young man nodded, his eyes fixed on the giant arachnid. Under the light of the moon, the body of the desert giant spider looked even more terrifying.
"We have to be careful not to alarm it." The young man whispered. It's just that the "it" he is talking about is not the monster in front of him, but the guards on the boulder bunker.
After all, it is not as easy to deal with a demonic beast as imagined, and if it rains arrows from the sky, the difficulty will directly increase to two levels.
They quietly separated, one from the left and the other from the right, trying to surround the desert spider. The young man crawled over the sand, getting closer. Mira, on the other hand, takes advantage of the terrain of the sand dunes to stay hidden.
As the two of them took their respective positions, Mira waved at the young manβshe was ready. The young man rushed out in an instant, and the giant sword in his hand slashed at the head of the desert giant spider.
The desert spider immediately sensed the threat, its eyes sparkling, and it quickly turned to fight the young man - it had been fooled.
By the time its butt was aimed at Mira, two flying forks had broken through the air, piercing through one of the desert spider's arthropods. The ropes between the steel forks quickly bound its pair of claws.
The desert giant spider roared, and its huge body instantly lost its balance and fell to the ground. It struggled with its might, trying to break free from the ropes. But Mira waved her hands together, and another pair of steel forks flew in, tying up her other two long legs.
Mira threw another steel fork at the young man, who quickly caught it. The two of them quickly circled the desert spider with a long rope, trying to tie up more arthropods.
The desert spider lay on the sand, writhing in pain and making a high-pitched cry. But it was still ferocious, trying to whip the young man and Mira with its huge legs.
The young man and Mira are agile and changeable to avoid the attacks of the desert spiders. The rope tightened, and Mira pulled a bag of dust from her waist and slammed it into the desert spider's head.
It is a medicine used in her tribe to tame magical beasts. Although she can't tame magical beasts, she can still put them into a short stupor.
Under the effect of the powder, the desert spider's movements became more and more sluggish, and its roar gradually weakened. Eventually, it collapsed on the sand and stopped moving.
The young man and Mira finally breathed a sigh of relief.
