Lord Highlander

  Chapter 760 749. Soldier ants sent to the door

  Adams guarded the city all night.

  The fire below the city wall also burned all night.

The corpse of the ghost-striped red ant was turned into ashes in the flames, leaving only a shallow layer of ash under the city wall, and the rocks under the city wall were melted by the flames, turning into uneven glass, but it was full of Impurities.

  At dawn, the corner of the city wall is still full of fireworks, and the heat wave over there can be felt ten meters away.

  The ghost pattern red ants on both sides of the mountain wall stopped their offensive, and the heavy armored infantry at the top of the city fought all night, and finally they were able to catch their breath at dawn.

At this moment, all the monsters in the canyon were devoured by the ghost pattern red ants. Except for some bones and rocks exposed by the ghost pattern red ants, even the barren grass in the canyon and the woods at the foot of the mountain disappeared completely that night. .

  The only thing that remains intact is the north city wall. The ghost-striped red ants gathered under the city wall retreated 50 meters away from the city wall.

  The densely packed ghost-striped red ants huddled together, facing the heat wave under the city wall, they dared not take a step forward.

  Galatin climbed up the city wall in the morning, and he leaned close to Adams to see that half of his short blond hair was burned by the fire, and his handsome face was also turned black, making him very embarrassed.

   Just about to make fun of Adams, he saw a commotion among the ants surrounding the city.

The ghost-striped worker ants dodged to the sides, and huge ghost-striped red ants emerged from the colony. These red ants with darker patterns had huge pincers on their heads, and sharp claws on each leg. The spikes of the giant ghost-striped red ants are at least three times larger than the common ghost-striped worker ants.

  Galatin's eyes were a little straight, pointing to the large red ants below the city, and asked, "Adams, what are those?"

  Adams hadn't seen it either, and stood with Gallatin, and didn't know what to say.

   "Ghost pattern soldier ants, they are the real fighters in the ant colony." Suldak walked over and said to the two.

  He endured the heat wave coming up from below the city, and stood by the city wall, checking the extent of damage to the city wall below, and it seemed that the situation was not bad.

Turning around, he said to one of the several squadron leaders behind him: "Go and get the catapults under the city wall to start, now the entire canyon is full of ghost-striped red ants, just blow out a flint, you can smash Don't be reluctant to give up stones if dozens of them die."

   "Yes!" The squadron leader climbed up the city wall, waiting for such a sentence.

  He ran down the city, but he didn't dare to complain.

  The catapult is like a long lever supported on a huge wooden frame. One end is a spoon-shaped throwing groove, and the other end is connected to a huge and strong iron basket box, which is filled with counterweight boulders.

   This iron basket containing counterweight stones weighs several tons, and it is hoisted to a two-meter-high platform with a block of pulleys. As long as the wrench on the platform is pulled, the flap of the platform will automatically open, and the entire iron basket will fall down in an instant. While falling, pull the lever of the catapult to throw the flint in the spoon-shaped groove at the other end.

  This kind of catapult usually needs to calibrate the throwing angle before throwing.

   This has been debugged a few days ago, and now it only needs to be loaded with ignited flint, and it can be started.

  The manipulator responsible for manipulating the catapult has climbed onto the tall wooden frame, and the flint has also been put into the spoon-shaped groove.

  Suldak stood at the head of the city and told a clerk:

"Tell Selena, let her inform the quarry in the town to process the flint with all its strength, and the blacksmith shop will also make a large number of arrowheads. Now mobilize the whole town to sharpen the arrow shafts, and make sure to increase the stock of crossbow arrows to 5,000. Bundle, tell the merchants in the town that now the Warcraft materials are only exchanged for military supplies, we need more kerosene, twine, and arrowheads, and let those merchants who come to trade with gold coins and magic crystals get out of here."

  Suldak paused for a moment, turned his head to see Adams still standing there, and shouted at him with rounded eyes:

   "Adams, why are you still here?"

  Adams was taken aback and was about to explain.

  Suldak drove him off the city wall, and said: "Hurry up and rest, the beast tide has just begun, we are not worth how long we have to guard, we must be prepared for a protracted war..."

  The ghost pattern red ants still dare not pass through the scorching fire wall.

   The flints were thrown by the catapult and exploded among the ghost pattern red ants, which caused quite a commotion.

  Those cloths soaked in kerosene wrapped around stones, lit and thrown out, rolled down in the ant colony, almost plowed a 20-meter-long deep ditch, and finally exploded into a piece of flaming fragments.

A row of ghost pattern soldier ants rushing to the front of the ant colony finally found a breakthrough from both sides of the city wall. The archers on the arrow tower suppressed the ghost-striped red ants coming from the rock wall.

   However, the ghost-pattern soldier ants rushing to the front were hit by a few arrows, and the fine steel arrows shot by the alloy bow could not pierce the ghost-pattern soldier ants' armor.

  For a while, emergency signals were sent out on both sides of the city wall.

  Andrew wants to be on duty at night. If there is no emergency during the day, he will rest in the barracks.

  Samira and the ogre Gullitum followed Suldak to the top of the city, and the ogre Gullitum followed behind Gallatin and rushed to the cliff on the west side of the city wall for support.

Suldak and Samira rushed to the east side of the northern city wall, and saw a huge ghost pattern soldier ant about to climb over the wall. Samira was still running, so he stopped immediately and took the Taking out the hunting bow of the 'Painting of Withering' on his back, a phantom of a great elf appeared behind him, and Samira squatted halfway to draw the bow...

   There seemed to be rays of light that were continuously gathering around the arrow tip.

   At the moment when he opened his bow and released his arrow, the ghost pattern soldier ant looked towards Samira with a pair of huge oval eyes. It opened its huge pincers and wanted to pounce on Samira.

  The arrow had already turned into a flash of white light, and it hit one of the ghost-patterned soldier ant's eye at a speed that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye, and the arrow was deeply embedded in it.

  Suldak stepped on the halo of power and rushed to the front of the ghost pattern soldier ant, and the blood red crescent in his hand stabbed at the soldier ant without hesitation.

  At the moment of stabbing, Suldak uttered a short rune language from his throat.

   ‘Tir-El’

  A magic pattern lit up in front of him, and moire lines lit up on the edge of the blood-red crescent. When the blade cut into the pliers of the ghost pattern soldier ant, it was like cutting into a piece of soft cheese.

  In an instant, the three-meter-long ghost pattern soldier ant was decapitated by Suldak.

   A group of worker ants hiding behind this ghost pattern soldier ant were also shot and killed by the archers on the arrow tower.

  Samila has already climbed onto the bed crossbow on one side, ready to shoot down the ghost-patterned soldiers and ants on the cliff far away with the giant crossbow.

  At this time, Suldak ordered Samira from the side: "Put in another one and let it climb up. This should be the most brainless type among the second-level monsters!"

As Suldak said, he threw the head of the ghost-striped soldier ant in a corner of the city wall. The body of the ghost-striped soldier ant was also dragged up the city wall by two heavy armored infantrymen, and then thrown into the inner city wall. And the guys from the leather shop are busy skinning the monsters that were hunted yesterday...

  Samira sat on the console of the bed crossbow, staring at the ghost-striped red ants swarming up from the distant stone wall, resisting not to pull the mechanism in her hand, and let the front one crawl closer and closer.

   Ahem, a new month has begun
