Sure enough, the next moment, at the place where several magic guards gathered, a loud rumble came from the ground.
A huge figure burst out of the ground and tore several magic guards into pieces with its fanged mouthparts.
This figure is indeed the Dune Giant Worm.
After this giant sand dune insect killed a group of magic guards, it twisted around flexibly and plunged into the soil again, as easily as a fish bait diving into the water.
In the past, Nalant would have been prepared for such a guy, but now he was sure of winning, so he became methodical.
"Little Bear Bear, come and help!"
"Hoho, okay, Nalant!"
The little bear jumped out immediately after hearing the words, and then headed towards the direction of the giant sand dune insect with Nalant.
Little Bear transformed again while running, turning into a fighting form more than ten meters tall.
Nalant continued to release more than ten magic guards in one go.
Soon, the two arrived at the location where the giant dune insect existed.
"It's here!"
When the two came to the area where the giant dune bug appeared earlier, the magic guards gathered together again and immediately began to circle in the open space together.
"Little Xiongxiong, follow the same rules later, you come and hold him for ten seconds!"
"Okay, leave it to Ben Xiongxiong!" Xiao Xiongxiong immediately patted his chest and assured after hearing this.
Then, Little Bear deliberately took big strides on the ground, and the giant sand dune bug slowly began to circle around Little Bear.
Although this guy is not particularly intelligent, he also knows that he must first deal with the existence that poses the 'biggest' threat to him.
Boom!
Just after the giant sand dune insect circled Little Bear Bear five or six times, it suddenly went behind Little Bear Bear, and then directly broke through the ground and launched an attack.
And with the magic guards as beacons, Little Bear will naturally not be attacked by surprise.
"If you want to sneak attack on Mr. Xiong, you are just dreaming!"
Following the rumbling sound, Little Bear immediately turned around and cursed.
Immediately, the little bear stretched out its thick arms and hugged the giant insect that just broke out of the sand dune.
Nalant had been waiting for a long time, and upon seeing this, he immediately waved his staff and cast magic.
"Space Blade!"
In less than nine seconds, Nalant's spell casting was completed, and with a soft drink from his mouth, the space blade was released.
"Little Bear, let it go!"
When the Space Blade was released, Nalant called out to Little Bear again.
"OK!"
Upon hearing this, Little Bear immediately released his arms, and then the giant sand dune insect that had lost its restraints immediately turned around and burrowed underground.
This is the attack habit of this giant sand dune insect. After crossing the ground and missing a hit, it will immediately burrow into the ground, and then wait for an opportunity to attack again or escape.
And just when the giant sand dune insect thought that it would successfully drill back to the ground this time, a popping sound suddenly came from the field.
Then, the originally active giant sand dune insect froze up and fell to the ground before it even had time to cry out.
"It's a little crooked, otherwise you can just cut it in half from the middle!"
Upon seeing this, Nalant made a comment. The giant sand dune insect had now been cut off from its mouthparts to the back third of its body. It was not as well-proportioned as last time.
In addition, the reason why Nalant's Space Blade was not released directly on the Dune Worm, but was placed aside, waiting for it to hit it actively.
That's because Nalant was worried that the Dune Worm's vitality was too strong and it wouldn't be able to kill him if it appeared directly.
Instead, let it actively bump into it when it escapes back to the ground, just like hitting the edge of a knife, maximizing the damage.
After all, Nalant currently only has one space blade, which is like a black line about 1.5 meters long.
If Nalant's strength increases and he can cultivate the multiple black lines mentioned in the spell manual, it won't be so troublesome.
"Little Bear Bear, call it a day!"
However, the trouble is a bit troublesome, but now it doesn't take much effort to deal with the sixth-level dune giant insect, which is already very good for Nalant.
After the giant dune insect was dealt with, there was no suspense in the ensuing battle.
In just over half an hour, all the dark creatures in the field were eliminated.
"Sir, this is the earth spirit found in a death knight!"
When all the dark creatures were dealt with, Quick immediately sent the earth essence that had been contained in a crystal bottle.
At this moment, the essence of the earth is shining brightly in this crystal bottle, a bit like a light bulb with a hundred watts.
"Quick, how are the casualties? Have they been counted?"
Nalant put the earth essence and the bottle directly into the storage space.
"Sir, two goblins were killed in this battle, and none of the other teams were killed."
"As for the serious injuries, there are a total of twelve people, including spearmen and goblin soldiers!" Quick reported the battle damage truthfully.
"That's right. Once the wounded are transported away, let everyone return to the camp and have a good rest!"
Now, as the strength of the subordinates has improved, the casualties have become less and less.
Moreover, this is also because Nalant's subordinates also have sufficient experience in dealing with dark creatures.
Soon, Nalant returned to the camp with a group of subordinates.
The logistics staff cooked a late-night snack for all the soldiers as a reward, and then the entire camp fell into silence.
However, I have to say that this path is truly worthy of being the Lord’s path.
Just in the middle of the night, Narant was woken up by the guards again.
It turned out that the Swift Eagle released by little girl Shirley returned again and landed in front of a group of night guards.
When Narant was woken up, he immediately had little girl Shirley called over.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Little girl Shirley rubbed her sleepy eyes and came to Nalant's tent.
"Shirley, Swift Eagle has just returned. Please ask if any dark creatures have appeared!"
"Okay, my lord!"
When Shirley heard this, she naturally did not dare to neglect, and immediately asked the Swift Eagle on the side.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then, as expected, there was news about the appearance of a team of dark creatures.
Fifteen miles away from Nalant and the others, there was another team of dark creatures favoring them.
There were more than six thousand dark creatures in the team, and there were also earth spirits.
"Very good, since there are earth spirits coming to our door again, there is no reason to let them pass!"
At that moment, Nalant immediately began to give instructions to his subordinates.
After giving instructions to everyone, Nalant asked little girl Shirley to send the Swift Eagle to monitor the team of dark creatures.
Su Ri'an's team of dark creatures also includes bloodthirsty bats and gargoyles, but the surviving Swift Eagles now also know how to protect themselves.
When seeing these dark creatures from a distance, they will not approach them, but will return immediately after observing them from a distance.
After everything was ready, Nalant continued to wait. Almost an hour later, the dark creature appeared in front of the ambush of Nalant and others.
The attack process this time was not much different from the previous one. The same method was to use fire protection to light up the wood pile, and then the attack started with full firepower.
The strongest leader in this dark creature team is the giant corpse-eating insect.
Facing this big beetle, Nalant also relied on the space blade.
First let the little bear step forward to attract the big guy's attention, and then directly use the space blade.
After the Space Blade is released, let this big guy throw himself into a trap and hit the Space Blade, causing maximum damage.
During the whole process, Nalant and Little Bear Xiong cooperated very harmoniously, and the big guy was taken care of in less than half a minute.
Therefore, this big guy did not cause any harm to Nalant's subordinates.
When the half-hour battle ended, Nalant once again obtained a group of earth spirits.
After receiving the essence of the earth, Nalant fell asleep again happily.
Time passed and it came to the second day.
But during the day, Nalant's 'business' was actually more popular than at night.
At noon, Nalant encountered three teams of dark creatures transporting earth spirits.
Not surprisingly, all three teams were eliminated by Nalant, and naturally all three groups of earth spirits fell into his hands.
After acquiring three groups of earth essences, Nalant ate a delicious lunch and prepared to continue waiting for the next 'business' to come to his door.
But this time, Nalant did not wait for business immediately. Instead, he waited for a few strange gargoyles.
Why is it strange, because there are only five or six gargoyles in total, and they are actually acting alone.
And on top of one of the gargoyles was a guy who didn't know whether it was a dark creature or a human race.
Of course, Nalant deduced that the probability of it being a humanoid dark creature was higher. After all, he had never seen a human race along the way.
He has even temporarily forgotten about the church.
When these guys discovered his camp and actually hovered over his camp, Nalant did not hesitate to let a group of boys and girls take action.
Fireballs shot out one after another, and finally three gargoyles were shot down.
The gargoyle carrying a guy in a black robe whose face could not even be seen was quite lucky and managed to escape.
Of course, that was also because the gargoyle flew the highest with caution, so Nalant could only watch it fly away.
Of course, Nalant didn't care. He intercepted the transaction halfway and knew that there would be a time when he would be exposed.
Even if there are dark creatures really coming to surround and suppress him, he can predict and respond in advance through Swift Eagle and Little Bee.
"I just hope that because of my presence, these dark creatures will no longer dare to escort the earth spirit through this avenue!"
Narante continued eating his lunch, mumbling to himself.
"But having said that, in just one night and one morning, I have acquired five groups of earth essences. This deal is so comfortable!"
"In addition, if I don't intercept this earth essence, will it be an advantage to other empires and principalities in the alliance?"
"I hope they won't blame me afterwards!"
Little did Nalant know that a number of empire and alliance teams were trapped in a tight siege.
I also felt that it was a bit unkind to do so.
After all, so many earth spirits were sent to the Duke's City. If he didn't intercept them, it is estimated that many earth spirits would fall into the hands of the principalities and empires.
Of course, being kind is not kind, and Nalant was not prepared to let go of a good thing like the Earth Spirit.
Moreover, there are actually two roads leading to the Duke City, so he can only harvest half of the earth spirits at most.
Nalant didn't know that his predictions about the situation of those gargoyles and the current alliance's duchy and empire teams were all wrong.
The dark creature that dragged people earlier was none other than the man sent by the Pope to find out why the earth spirits had inexplicably decreased in the past two days.
The spy first explored several gathering places along another avenue and found that everything was normal.
However, when they explored Nalant's route, they found that three gathering places had been breached.
And when he was about to return to report, he happened to see Nalant's camp halfway.
Originally, the spy wanted to get closer and observe more to see why a human team appeared in the rear, but he almost capsized in the ditch.
After he escaped by chance, he naturally did not dare to stop at any time and headed straight towards the Duke's City.
As for the alliance's duchy and empire teams, they are now in a desperate situation of struggling to support themselves.
If they knew that Nalant was dealing with the earth spirits of dark creatures, they would definitely not complain, but would burst into tears and express gratitude, allowing Nalant to suffer more.
Since the church replenished the number of dark creatures yesterday, the morale of the coalition forces has dropped to the lowest point.
What's more terrible is that their food has gradually reached the bottom, which has forced them to reduce their daily quota again in order to survive for two more days.
Under such a situation of low morale, lack of food, and a constant supply of enemies with increasing numbers, all the coalition forces were already feeling desperate.
"Everyone, what should we do now?"
At the impromptu meeting in the ducal city, the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.
President Theodore took advantage of the temporary weakening of the dark creatures' offensive to convene the meeting again.
"I think we should prepare for a breakout!"
Prince Eric of the Bach Empire spoke up.
"Indeed, there are an endless number of dark creatures now, and the more we kill, the more they will become. If we continue to delay, even if we want to continue to break out, we will still be in great danger!"
Carlisle nodded in agreement after hearing this.
It turns out that since last night, some principalities and empires have begun to propose a forced breakout.
"Prince Eric, Magister Carlisle, what about the soldiers in the city?"
However, this forced breakout also means that not many people can break out. I am afraid that only a small number of elites and strong people can retreat safely.
In this way, I am afraid that 95% of the remaining soldiers will be left in the Duke City and die under the swords of dark creatures.
Upon hearing this, Duke Miller did not agree with the two men's actions.
If you abandon your subordinates and flee under such circumstances, can you still be considered a qualified knight noble?
You know, that's more than 200,000 lives.
"Duke Miller, do you have a better way? If you continue to delay, everyone will die together under the siege of dark creatures!"
"And now we are starting to break out. Although we cannot take away most of the people, we can still keep some elite knights and nobles alive!"
"In this way, isn't it a profit? Only by living can we kill more dark creatures!"
