Section 437 - Sand!~Sand!~
There are many people on one side, and they want to eat Baiyang Town and the 29th Legion loyal to the royal family, but they don't want to be half-crippled by the strange alchemy bomb like the 14th and 15th Legions.
Although the other side has a killer feature, in order to buy time to cover the friendly army to complete the strategic purpose of resting, it has to deliberately suppress the hole cards.
What was supposed to be a tragic offensive and defensive battle turned into a tentative hand-to-hand battle from beginning to end with the tacit understanding of the commanders of both sides.
However, it was not without real fire, the three high-level mages of the space system who supported the fourth prince of the Tessie Empire Vebron had just successfully joined forces to annihilate the spellcaster team of the 29th Legion in one fell swoop, and before they could be complacent, they ran headlong into a thirsty silver dragon egg, which was smoked into ashes along with the life force.
With three space magicians as the record, the 29th Legion barely managed to draw with the rebels' spellcaster force, which was considered a defeat for both sides, and no one took advantage.
It's just that from a strategic point of view, the Silan Empire has made a little bit of money, after all, space magicians are not as ubiquitous as cabbage sold on the streets.
After the Armageddon in the Central Mountains of Hailar, the Tessie Empire was already in danger of being cut off from the inheritance of space magicians, and now it was even worse.
Nine kilometers west of Baiyang Town, there is a small hill, not connected to the distant mountains, more like a random arch of rocks on the ground, perhaps only fifty or sixty meters above the surface, and there is not a single tree on the bare top, but a rock watchtower has been erected.
"Have the people of the four princes all retreated? I haven't seen their shadows for three whole days, ouch!"
Soldier Gerry leaned lazily against the edge of the stone stack with his spear in his hand, and glanced out carelessly, not wanting to get a blow to the door.
Ten soldiers took turns standing guard on the watchtower, and this time period happened to be in charge of him and another veteran, Gosmo.
"Fourth prince, you kid is making a mistake again, that's called a rebel! You have to call him a rebel Veblen. ”
The spear in his hand knocked heavily on the other party's head, and Gosmo glared at the hairless kid with his mouth, the four princes and the four princes called so kindly. Do you want to have a different heart?!
"Old Gosmo, I'm just talking about it casually, and then I'm talking about who to do it or not? I heard that the rebels are paying five times the salary, oh my God, it's five times, and if you sell your life for two months, you can top the previous year. ”
Gurley smacked his lips and shook his head.
In fact, the salaries of the Northern Frontier Army were even lower, no more than six times faster than those of the rebels.
No matter how the imperial city changes its flag. As a low-level soldier, it's just a change of salary.
"Hmph, it depends on your fate, you don't have a fate, the royal family still has the advantage, the rebels are just surviving, maybe the Tessi are just using them, these Tessie dogs are not good. ”
The veteran Gosmo pulled out his water bag and took a sip of the somewhat sour ale mixed with water. looked outside, suddenly froze, looked straight at the sky, and said, "Heavenly." Look, there's something in the sky, so much!"
"What? are the four rebels?" Gerry felt that he had made a mistake and quickly changed his words. Follow the veteran's line of sight.
Dozens of black dots suddenly descended from the clouds and were heading towards the location of the watchtower.
They are very fast, and their shapes are becoming clearer. You can see a body as black and shiny as a lion, with sharp and angular muscles, a head like a falcon with a hooked beak, and four thick claws under the body that seem to be grasping huge cylindrical objects, stretching out the same black wings and gliding and diving.
"I don't know what to do, maybe it's the Sky Knight!
The veteran Gaussmo faintly sensed that something was wrong and immediately became vigilant.
He hurriedly took out the flint, ready to set fire to the dry cow dung to warn, I don't know what the road is for, although the sparks are splashing, but it can never catch fire.
"Look, those things are throwing things on the ground, they're not empty riders, they don't have knights on their backs, ah!
Whether it is an empty horse or not, in fact, it is easy to tell, Gree, who has been staring at the sky nervously, saw that those black flying beasts quickly landed on the flat ground not far in front of the hill where the watchtower was located, where there was originally a sparse grove, but after the 29th Legion entered Baiyang Town, it was cut down.
After dropping the thick columns, the flying beasts swung their wings again and soared into the air.
It seems that not only that, but even grabbed the end of the cylinder under the claws when taking off, revealing the original face of the hollow cylinder.
Without exception, they all seemed to be hollow cylinders, which puzzled Gerley, the soldier who had been on the watchtower.
Thankfully, the flying monsters didn't continue in their direction and the town, as they seemed to have just dropped their objects and turned back into the air, without any threatening movements from start to finish.
"What?"
The veteran Gosmo suddenly raised his head and looked outside the battlement, the flint shook out a few sparks and landed on the fire medium, the flames immediately rose, burning his hand, and the falling fire medium immediately fell into the pile of cow dung cakes, and a wisp of black smoke gradually rose, accompanied by a strange smell and grass smell.
"No, no! The color on the ground is changing, and something is coming out of the cylinder. ”
Gerley's eyes were sharp, and he immediately noticed the change in the ground where the cylinders had landed, and immediately shouted loudly.
The veteran Gausmo rubbed his eyes and stretched his neck to take a closer look.
The ground near the cylinders seemed to be rapidly spreading out, encroaching on the ground, as the young soldier had said, and because it was still far away, it was only faintly visible that the color was coming from the cylinders that had been opened at one end.
The dark red quickly spread over the clearing, and quickly poured towards the hill where the watchtower was located, and the speed was not slow, and at this time, the two soldiers saw the real body of these dark red.
It was a swarm of huge ants the size of a puppy, dark red, with long, sharp spines sticking out of their joints.
"Conspiracy, it must be a conspiracy of the rebels! Gree, take the horn, let's go! Untie the reins of the horses, quick!"
Veteran Gausmo turned his head to look, and thankfully, the cow dung cake had been completely lit and was emitting billowing smoke into the sky.
"Boom!~"
Although they did not see the ant colony like the two Terran soldiers, the horses under the watchtower seemed to sense the approach of great terror, neighing loudly in panic and struggling desperately.
The stakes that bound them soon could not stand the pull of the two horses, and they were dragged out, and the two horses broke free before the two soldiers could rush at them.
"Rustle"
A strange noise came from under the mountain bag, and it tended to get bigger and bigger.
The two soldiers looked at each other, and Gosmo let out a low shout: "Go!"
Although the war horse fled, it is likely that something bad will happen if you stay here.
No matter how sluggish the reaction is, you can guess at this moment that those extraordinarily huge and hideous-looking giant ants are not easy to mess with.
Woo!~~Woo!~~Woo!~~
The sound of a horn means that something most urgent has happened.
"Run! those things are catching up!"
The veteran Gausmo never imagined that he and Gurley had just escaped from the hill from the other side, and those red giant ants swept over the entire watchtower like a tide, and the towers made of rocks collapsed almost instantly, and what was even more terrifying was that the speed of those giant ants was not slow at all, following their footsteps, and slowly closing the distance between the two sides.
"Oh my God, what the hell are those?!"
Gerley's face turned pale, and he couldn't breathe, gritting his teeth and running with him desperately.
Sand!~~Sand!~~Sand!~~Sand!~~
Not only the ground, but also the nearby flowers and trees, rocks and soil suddenly trembled for no reason, and they trembled at a strange frequency like the rustling sound coming from behind them.
"Quick! Don't look back!"
Gosmo ran as hard as he could, not daring to stop, and without warning, he let out a scream in his heel and immediately lost his balance.
"Gosmo!"
Gerry suddenly felt something strange on his side, and looked back, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, but this time he was in a state of distraction, and a giant crimson ant was stabbing his pair of sharp pincers into the veteran's ankle, causing him to let out a scream of pain.
At this time, more giant ants pounced and crawled onto this Gausmo's body, and the spikes all over his body collided with each other, and even faintly visible sparks bursting out, constantly tearing at the prey.
"Gree! Run!"
Despite being surrounded by giant ants, the veteran was still hoarsely urging the young soldier to flee, and in the blink of an eye, the screams were swallowed up by the ant colony.
"How could there be such a terrible thing!"
The ant colony was a little closer, and Gurley no longer hesitated, and continued to run wildly, not forgetting to put the horn to his mouth and blow it with all his might.
Woooooo
Scattered and hurried, although it does not meet the standard, it still spreads the emotions of the enemy.
In the distance, another horn soon sounded, and the alarm was spreading to Baiyang Town.
"Ahh
In the wilderness, a soldier who had fled for his life could not escape the ant colony behind him, and was thrown to the ground from behind by several giant ants that were red in color and larger in size, and the screams stopped immediately.
A creepy tearing and chewing sound ensued, and the colony drowned it all out, leaving only a patch of broken bones and a broken horn.
"Hmm, something strange is approaching!"
Xuanyu Huangxing, who had been outside the town for many days, woke up from his false sleep and opened his eyes as big as four wheels.
"Is it a rebel?"
Lin Mo walked out of his exclusive tent, and every time such a horn sounded, it meant that the war was about to begin-
(To be continued......)
