Chapter 93 The beast tide is coming! Who are you?(1/2)
Following Levi's dragon roar, and the earth-shattering howl of ghosts and wolves under his command, Zelandia, echoed in the sky above the entire city of Gelthorne.
For a moment, the tension and panic caused by the incoming beast tide just now seemed to be completely destroyed.
But as those sounds disappeared, the solemn feeling of an impending war came again!
The entire city of Gelthorn, following the city-wide mobilization order issued by the Shadow Queen, started like a machine with full power.
It has to be said that the prestige of the Shadow Queen is quite popular in the entire city of Gelthorne.
In addition, as mid-level officers who command battles, they have accumulated a lot of experience in years of foreign battles.
Under their orderly command, one can see the urgently mobilized temporary civilian soldiers and slave servants carrying their few worn-out equipment and walking out of various urban areas.
Finally, like water droplets flowing into a river, they set foot on the designated defensive location under the command of the officers.
Because the beast tide had already occurred five years ago, you only need to follow the normal response methods.
There will no longer be a sudden attack of beast tides like five years ago, causing heavy losses.
Because they didn’t know the laws of the beast tide, at the end of the first beast tide invasion, when the crazy monsters that were dozens of times the previous number came like a flood, all the drow elves were
shocked.
The result of that battle was that even the northern city wall fell for a time, and the three-mile city area was eroded.
In the end, it was the Shadow Queen and several legends from Gel'thorne City who took the risk of being sniped by the illithid monsters of Ironforge Keep and took action in person to repel the horde of beasts that came from the sky.
After that, the drow finally figured out the laws of these beast tides.
They are indeed as if they have been infected by some unknown disease or mental infection, becoming out of control and crazy.
And this kind of madness can also be spread through the saliva and blood of bites, and even drow were once infected.
Fortunately, this infection can be suppressed and eliminated at the first opportunity through magic, healing, or even surgical amputation.
Otherwise, I am afraid that as early as five years ago, the drow in Gel'thorne City, the illithid in Ironforge Castle, and the dragonborn monsters in Lady Corruption's Shadow City would have all moved away together.
Already.
Conditional creatures can be suppressed through various means, but those who live in the dark areas and have a wide variety of beasts and lower intelligent creatures have no way.
After being infected, they can only gradually lose their minds in despair and join the tide of beasts, spreading like a snowball into the distance and deeper into the ground.
Therefore, when they are stimulated, there may only be dozens or hundreds at first, then the smell of blood will attract thousands of them, and finally, the monstrous blood will attract a tide of beasts covering a hundred miles radius.
And this wave is often the most difficult for many underground city-states to resist, and it is also the time when they suffer the heaviest losses.
Only by repelling these incoming beast tides can we get a period of respite until the next more turbulent beast tide from deeper underground strikes.
In these short five years, the elves of Gelthorne City, who had learned enough lessons, not only reinforced and built all the city walls, but even dug many traps, trenches, and stalagmites outside the city.
It becomes an obstacle similar to a horse-rejecting formation.
The 'steam bomb' presented by Dishana, the new matron of the Jadir family a few years ago, was also produced on a large scale and was deployed on a large scale in the wilderness outside the city before the beast tide came.
Since those beasts that don’t have much sense left generally won’t attack dead objects that are not dead ends for no reason, so soon after the mighty beast tide overflows these steam bombs, these steam bombs that reach the valve point will detonate, often causing good damage.
.
If we want to talk about shortcomings, it is that the cost is slightly high, and there are too many duds due to air tightness issues, but it once made the Drow officers very angry.
Gelthorne City, the mottled outer wall on the north side.
Salina, the eldest daughter of the Bangir family, naturally heard the calls of Levi and Long Roar and his men, which were like the trembling of the mountains.
While his face turned pale, he felt conflicted in his heart and hoped that this force, which was both an enemy and a friend, would come over quickly to help defend him.
The scale of the beast tide has become more and more terrifying in the past few years.
Although this was not the first time that she personally went to the defense line to gain merit, but for some reason, this time, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Just when she ordered everything and held her breath to adjust her combat status.
After being accidentally struck by Levi's dragon roar, the Narbondel clock in the center of Gelthorn City rang its solemn bell again.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Listening to the heart-wrenching sound of the bell, many of the slaves who were brought up to fight for the first time could not help but turn pale.
The drow's generally superior hearing, in the ticking, ticking sound of the mechanical clock built by the gray dwarf ancestors when the gears are running every minute, makes the nerves tense like clockwork!
Tighten.
And just when this nerve seemed to be on the verge of breaking, the drow archer who was using the Eagle Eye technique on the arrow tower on the side of the city wall screamed in horror:
"Oh my God! Come on Rose! Why are there so many this time!"
Since the outbreak of the animal epidemic.
Unprecedented peak tide!
It’s coming!
Some slaves without dark vision could feel the city walls under their feet beginning to tremble before they even saw the beast tide.
As the vibrations became stronger and stronger, the boundless tide of beasts coming like a black flood finally came into view of everyone.
If it were normal, the main vanguard of this beast tide should be relatively weak races such as goblins, goblins, hominins, and kobolds.
And even for such a weak existence, after being infected with madness, their strength will increase by 30 to 40%. The most important thing is that they look like crazy and are not afraid of death!
Once the natural barrier is lost and they are allowed to climb up the city wall, three or four of them will bite madly, which will make a warrior who has been on the battlefield several times tired to deal with it.
Under siege by more than a dozen birds, even veterans' lives would be in danger.
After that, there are powerful races mixed in.
Such as tauren, earth bears, lizard men, ogres and the like.
Occasionally, large earth elemental creatures and Thor stone monsters will appear, which are troublesome existences that even high-level professionals have to deal with in groups.
This time, there were significantly fewer goblins, goblins, hominins, and kobolds living on the surface of the Underdark.
Powerful races such as tauren, geomancers, lizardmen, and ogres are the main force.
What's even more frightening is that in the northern battlefield alone, at least a dozen earth elemental creatures and a giant Thor stone monster have appeared.
This thing looks like a tree covered with stones. It is made of stone as the main material.
There are three huge feet growing on his body quite harmoniously, three knobby claws that are bent at will like tentacles, and eyes located in three directions.
This allows the Thor to look in any direction.
It also means that a siege of a certain intensity may not be that effective for it.
Once this damn thing gets close, the city wall will probably look like paper!
"How could this happen? It shouldn't be!" The pale-faced Salina muttered to herself as she looked at the raging madness that was setting off dust and smoke all over the sky.
As if the tight nerve had finally broken, he staggered back a few steps, then turned back sharply and yelled at the adjutant in pain:
"Go back to the family and ask for help! Otherwise Beicheng District will not be able to resist it! Immediately! Hurry!!!"
"And Hogg's damn jackal! Doesn't he also want to help defend Beicheng District? Order him! Take his people with him immediately! Come over here! Immediately!"
"Yes!" The adjutant's face also looked a little ugly.
However, this order made her relax. With her strong hands, she jumped on the 90-degree wall corner and landed lightly on the ground.
He ran all the way towards Benjier's mansion.
Looking at the adjutant's leaving figure, he showed a look of struggle.
She wants to escape, but at this time, as a commander, if she escapes, she may face a punishment more terrible than death.
After a while, she finally defeated her instinct.
He pulled out the long sword from his waist and pointed it forward, shouting arrogantly:
"The whole army obeys the order! The soldiers in the front row raise their shields!
“Brother, oil, and boulders are ready!
"Trebuchet prepares stones!
"Wizard team, free release of energy-shaping spells!"
"Archer! Throw at thirty-five degrees!
"put!"
Amidst the trembling sounds of bowstrings, arrows shot out towards the city wall like swarms of bees, raining down like rain.
However, this extremely effective suppression method against the humanoid army has little effect under such a beast tide.
On the spot, many beasts that had been hit by critical injuries or blasted by energy-shaping spells fell to the ground, but then more ferocious beasts trampled them into mud and surged forward.
Like a torrent.
Unstoppable! Unstoppable!
To be continued...
