Chapter Ninety-Three: The Beast Tide Is Coming!
With Levi's dragon roar, the earth-shattering howl of ghosts and wolves under his command echoed over the entire city of Gerthorne.
For a while, the sense of tension and panic caused by the attack of the beast tide just now seemed to have been completely destroyed.
But as those voices faded away, the solemn sense of impending war struck again!
The entire city of Gerthorne, after a city-wide mobilization order from the Shadow Queen, started like a machine with full power.
I have to say that the prestige of the Shadow Queen is still relatively popular in the entire city of Gershorne.
In addition, as middle-level officers who command battles, they have accumulated a lot of experience in foreign battles for many years.
Under their methodical command, the urgently mobilized makeshift civilian fighters and slave servants were seen carrying their few shabby equipment and heading out of the city.
Eventually, like a drop of water flowing into a river, they set foot on the designated defensive site under the command of the officers.
Because the beast tide was born five years ago, it is enough to follow the usual coping methods.
There will never be another beast tide like five years ago, when the tide of beasts suddenly hit and suffered heavy losses.
Because they didn't know the law of the beast tide attack, at the end of the first beast tide invasion, when the crazy monsters dozens of times the previous number came like a flood, all the drow elves were shocked.
As a result of that battle, even the northern city wall fell for a time, eroding the Sanli City District.
In the end, it was the Shadow Queen and a few legends of Gerthorne who risked being sniped by the Psions of the Iron Molten Castle and took it upon themselves to repel the incoming beast tide.
And after that, the drow elves can be considered to have figured out the law of these beast tides.
It's as if they've been infected by some unknown disease or psychic infection, and they've become out of control and crazy.
This madness also spreads with biting saliva and blood, and at one point Drow elves were even infected.
Fortunately, this infection can be suppressed and removed in the first place through magic techniques, healing techniques, and even surgical amputation.
Otherwise, I am afraid that as early as five years ago, whether it was the drow elves of Gerthorne City, or the spirit-absorbing monsters of Iron Molten Castle, or the dragonborn monsters of Corrupt Lady Phantom City, they all moved and ran away together.
Conditional creatures can be suppressed by various means, but those beasts and low-level intelligent creatures that inhabit the dark regions and have a wide variety of them, there is nothing they can do.
After being infected, they can only gradually lose their minds in despair, and join the beast tide with the tide, snowballing into the distance, towards the deeper underground, and constantly spreading.
Therefore, when they are stimulated, there may only be dozens or hundreds of them at first, then the smell of blood attracts tens of thousands, and in the end, the monstrous blood will attract the tide of beasts within a radius of hundreds of miles.
And this wave is often the most difficult time for many city-states underground to resist and the most painful losses.
Only by repelling these incoming beast tides can you get a respite until the next beast tide that is deeper and more turbulent in the depths of the earth.
In just five years, the elves of Gerthhorn City, who had learned enough lessons, not only strengthened and increased all the city walls, but even dug many horse traps and trenches outside the city, and set up obstacles similar to the horse rejection array made of stalagmites.
The 'steam bomb' presented by the new matrimonial mother of the Jadir family, Dishana, a few years ago, was also mass-produced, and was placed on a large scale in the wilderness outside the city before the beast tide arrived.
Since the beasts that don't have much sanity left generally don't attack dead things that don't kill for no reason, it is because when the mighty beast tide overflows these steam bombs, these steam bombs that reach the valve point are detonated, and they can often do good damage.
If you want to talk about the shortcomings, it is that the cost is slightly higher, and because of the problem of air tightness, there are too many duds, but it once made the Zall officers angry enough.
The city of Gerthorn, with its mottled façade to the north.
Salina, the eldest daughter of the Bangil family, naturally heard the call of Levi and the dragon's roar and the trembling of the mountains under his command.
In addition to his pale face, he hoped that this army, which was also an enemy and a friend, would come over to help defend as soon as possible.
The scale of the beast tide in the past few years has become more and more terrifying.
Although this is not the first time she has personally gone to the defense line to reap the merits, for some reason, this time, she is faintly uneasy in her heart.
Just when she ordered everything to hold her breath and adjust her combat state.
The Nabondel clock in the center of Gerthorn was struck by Levi's dragon's roar and rang solemnly again.
Knock Throat!
Knock Throat!
Knock Throat!
Listening to the heart-wrenching bell, many slaves who were pulled up to fight for the first time couldn't help but turn pale.
The Drow's generally superior sense of hearing, in the ticking, ticking sound that came from the mechanical clock built by the ancestors of the gray dwarves as the gears ticked and ticked.
And just as this nerve seemed to be on the verge of breaking, the drow archers on the side of the city wall who were using the Eagle Eye technique screamed in horror:
"Oh my God! Rose is on top! How could there be so much this time!"
Since the outbreak of the beast tide.
Unprecedented peaks!
It's coming!
Some of the slaves who did not have dark vision, and even before they saw the beast tide, they could already feel the walls under their feet begin to tremble.
As the vibration became stronger and stronger, the boundless beast tide that was surging like a black flood finally entered everyone's eyes.
If it were usual, the main vanguard of such a beast tide should also be the relatively weak races such as goblins, goblins, cavemen, and kobolds.
And even if they are such a weak existence, after being infected and crazy, their strength will increase by three or four percent, and the most important thing is that they are crazy and not afraid of death!
Once they lose the natural danger barrier, after letting them climb the city wall, three or four of them can frantically bite down, which can also make a warrior who has been on the battlefield several times tired to deal with.
Under the siege of more than a dozen soldiers, even veterans will be in danger of their lives.
After that, it's the powerful races that are mixed in.
Such as the Minotaurs, the Earth Bears, the Lizardmen, the Ogre, and the like.
Occasionally, large earth elemental creatures and Thor stone monsters will appear, which is a problem that even high-level professionals have to deal with in clusters.
And this time, there are significantly fewer goblins, goblins, cavemen, kobolds and the like that inhabit the surface of the dark region.
Powerful races such as the Minotaurs, Earth Bears, Lizardmen, and Ogres are the main force.
What's even more terrifying is that in the horizon of the northern battlefield alone, at least a dozen earth elemental creatures have appeared, and there is one... Giant Thor Stone.
This thing looks like it's covered in stones... No, it's made of stone as the main material.
His body was a harmonious collection of three giant feet, three knotted claws that bent like tentacles, and eyes in three directions.
This allows the Thor Monsters to look in any direction.
It also means that a siege of a certain intensity may not be so effective for it.
Once this ghost gets close, I'm afraid the city walls will become like paper!
"How so! no!" Salina, who was pale, muttered to herself as she looked at the surging tide of dust and smoke that was pouring into the sky.
It was as if the tense nerve had finally broken and he staggered back a few steps, then turned back sharply and yelled at the adjutant in pain:
"Hurry back to the family for help! Otherwise, Beicheng District won't be able to resist at all! Immediately! Hurry up and !!."
"And Hogg's damned gnolls! Isn't he going to help defend the North City too! Order him! Take his men with him at once! Rush me over!
"Yes!" the adjutant's face was also a little ugly.
However, this order relieved her, and she landed lightly on the ground with a few happy bounces on the corner of the wall at 90 degrees.
All the way to the Bangill mansion.
looked at the back of the departing adjutant, revealing a look of struggle.
She wants to escape, but at such a time, as the commander, if she escapes, she will face a punishment worse than death.
In the middle of the ring, she finally overcame her instincts.
Pulling out the long sword at his waist, he pointed forward, and said arrogantly:
"The whole army obeys the order! The soldiers in the front row raise their shields!
"Braziers, hot oil, boulders ready!
"Trebuchet prepares stones!
"Wizard Squad, Plastic Energy Spells are free to unleash!"
"Archer!
"Put!"
With the sound of bowstrings trembling, arrows rained down like swarms of bees outside the city walls.
But this extremely effective suppression method against the army of humanoids has little effect under such a beast tide.
On the spot, many beasts that had been shot or hit by the plastic spell fell to the ground, but more beasts behind them trampled them into flesh and surged forward.
Like a torrent.
Unstoppable!
Until this crazy black tide overflows those dense steam bombs...
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The deafening and roaring crackling sound that continued one after another, accompanied by the scorching steam of up to 800 degrees, wantonly caused the surging and terrifying momentum to be suspended for a few moments.
After these torrents destroyed all the obstacles in their path and filled all the trenches with corpses, they slammed down on the walls like a lunar eclipse tide!
The brazier, hot oil, and boulders only lasted a few moments before they were used!
It's not that the reserves of baggage materials are not enough...
It's that these beast tides are too crazy!
After hitting the city wall, he trampled on the flesh in front of him and piled up all the way up to form a mountain of twisted and wriggling meat.
In just a few minutes, he directly passed over the tall city wall that was more than 20 feet high!
It also means...
The most cruel, bloody, and dehumanizing hand-to-hand encounter!
At first, against those relatively weak races, they were barely able to resist through the advantage of equipment and strength.
But when the plurality of minotaurs, ogres, and lizardmen also began to climb the thick walls, the battle on the entire city became extremely bloody.
Salina finally felt a little broken after slashing down the eighth medium-sized monster in quick succession.
The scattered silver long was covered with flesh and blood, and her bloodshot eyes and silver teeth clenched and roared in a low voice:
"Damn! Didn't you say that Hogg's deployment zone is also in the North City!
"The slogan is loud!
"Who are you!!"
