While the leather shop owner Mullen was planning his family's escape from the town of Dodan, Suldak was still standing on the city wall, testing the specific destructive power of the fire scale bullets produced by the Constantinople Firearms Workshop.
In fact, this kind of fire scale bullet with fire magic patterns engraved on its surface is very reliable.
Andrew threw a fire scale bomb nearly sixty meters away. The fire scale bomb landed on the dense ant colony on the mountain wall and exploded like fireworks.
Suddenly, nearly a dozen ghost-striped soldier ants huddled together on the mountain wall were blown off the cliff. Their stumps and broken legs were splashed with acid liquid. Although the explosion affected a range of less than three meters, the ghost-striped worker ants were
After all, there were too many, and in order to avoid the wall of fire burning at the foot of the mountain, they had to detour through a very limited area on the upper part of the mountain wall.
The location where Andrew threw happened to be where the densest concentration of ghost-striped worker ants was.
Surdak felt that a fire scale bullet could not stop the offensive momentum of the ghost-striped worker ants, he just wanted to give it a try.
However, the explosion frightened the ghost-striped worker ants that were following behind and hesitated. Their survival instinct caused some fear in the hearts of the workers. The ghost-striped worker ants behind them surged up and had no room to retreat. They could only continue to rush forward.
.
The sphere at the core of the fire scale bomb contained a can of kerosene. The moment it exploded on the mountain wall, the viscous kerosene also splashed on the mountain wall. Suddenly a ball of flames burned against the mountain wall, and the dancing flames
Some ghost-striped worker ants that were forced to climb on the top of the mountain wall quickly escaped.
There were not many areas that could bypass the fire wall under the city wall, but this flame blocked the mountain wall, causing a commotion among the attacking ghost-striped worker ants.
Some hard-headed ghost-striped worker ants rushed into the flames. Once their eight legs were ignited by kerosene, they would gradually lose their ability to climb and fall from the mountain wall one after another.
Only a few ghost-patterned soldier ants with hard shells and huge bodies were not afraid of the flames on the mountain wall and climbed up step by step. Even the flying arrows seemed to deliberately avoid these ghost-patterned soldier ants, waiting for them to climb up.
The moment they reach the top of the city, there will be soldiers from the heavy armored infantry regiment and bed crossbows on the city wall to entertain them.
Surdak felt that the hard-skin armor of the cavalry battalion's horses must be funded by these ghost-patterned soldier ants.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Andrew watched the fire scale bullets he threw burning on the wall, and shouted excitedly:
"So this is how this thing is used..."
Surdak glanced at the rows of fire scale bombs in the wooden box at his feet, and ordered the city defense guards next to him: "Try to throw a few more bullets!"
Fire-scale bullets scattered on the cliff, and more than a dozen burning spots on the mountain wall became new obstacles for the ghost-striped worker ants. The flames illuminated a large area of the cliff at the same time, and many ghost-striped worker ants were burned in the fire.
It screamed weirdly.
The vision of the city guards standing on the city wall became clearer, and rows of crossbow arrows were shot out, shooting down the ghostly patterned worker ants that bypassed the flames.
With these dozen burning points, the pressure on the guards on the city wall was suddenly relieved a lot.
"It seems to be working well!" Suldak said.
…
Adams led three squadrons of heavy infantry onto the city wall, and he was responsible for guarding the city wall at night.
Since Gallatin was injured and unable to participate in the battle, Suldak asked the ogre Gulitum to cooperate with Adams and guard the city wall at night.
The young ghost-striped ant queen in the canyon in the distance acted very cautiously. It did not rashly lead its bodyguards to attack the north city wall. After nightfall, the light in the canyon dimmed, and the ghost-striped ant queen disappeared into the darkness.
middle.
The city defense guards who had just climbed onto the city wall saw more than a dozen fire spots burning on the mountain wall. The ghost-striped worker ants were shot with arrows in the fire and fell to the bottom of the cliff, and they immediately let out a burst of cheers.
When they were guarding the city wall last night, they did not have it so easy. If they could not completely clear away the ghost-striped worker ants on the mountain wall, the heavy armored infantry guarding both sides of the city wall would be under great pressure.
This pressure will also be passed on to the bed crossbow operators on the city wall, who need to control the bed crossbows in advance to hunt down some ghost-patterned soldier ants to reduce the battle pressure on the city wall.
Despite this, ghost-striped worker ants took advantage of the morning fog to rush up the city wall this morning.
Adams and Gallatin also suffered heavy casualties and waited until reinforcements arrived before forcing back the ghost-marked red ants that had rushed up the city wall.
"If we had taken out these good things last night, there would not have been so many casualties this morning." Adams took out a fire scale bullet with magic patterns engraved on the surface from the wooden box and sighed.
Suldak kicked the two wooden boxes under his feet and said to Adams:
"It's not too late to take it out now, but the inventory of this thing is very limited, so you have to use it sparingly."
Adams weighed the fire scale bullet in his hand and said hurriedly: "I know."
Suldak warned Adams and Gulitem:
"During the day, we found a ghost-striped queen ant in the canyon. Be careful at night and call us if necessary."
With the fire scale bomb, Adams immediately became more confident and promised Suldak: "Don't worry, if it hadn't been for the heavy fog this morning, it would have been impossible for the ghost-striped worker ants to rush up."
As the soldiers brought by Adams gradually took up their positions, Andrew led the city defense guards, heavy armored infantry and archers who had been stationed on the city wall during the day in a queue and walked down the city wall.
Surdak led Adams to the corpse of the giant ghost-patterned soldier ant with a tough and tough skin, and took a standard Paglio spear from the heavy armored infantry, and stabbed the giant ghost-patterned soldier hard.
On the ant's carapace, the spear tip could not penetrate the hard carapace and made a continuous "Puff" sound.
"There is also a new type of ghost-patterned soldier ant. The hard carapace on its body is so tough that even a crossbow can hardly penetrate it. However, you can still kill it by aiming at the weak part of its carapace. Be careful when you encounter it.
If you hunt that big guy again, remember to send someone to call me."
After speaking, Surdak returned the Paglio spear to the heavy armored infantryman.
Then he said to Adams: "I'll go to the shed to have a look." After that, he walked down the city wall.
From a distance, I heard Gulitem shouting: "Send another soldier ant over, and this time I will smash its head..."
…
Surdak did not expect that Malen, the owner of the leather shop, would abandon the business he had worked so hard to build in Dodan Town and run away with his family overnight.
He may indeed have caused huge losses to himself by concealing the information about the hard armor on the ghost-patterned soldier ants. It is just the right of a citizen of the Green Empire to say it or not. If he is unwilling to say it, it will only make him feel dissatisfied at most.
.
Speaking of which, it was probably the conflict between the nobles and the common people that made him worry about the serious consequences he would bear if he deceived a noble.
There were only three leather shop clerks with bitter faces left in the work shed. Looking at their cautious expressions, you could tell that they were also scared to death.
There were still nearly ten corpses of ghost-patterned soldier ants waiting to be processed outside the work shed. Two hunters were temporarily transferred from the cavalry battalion, wearing leather pants commonly worn by butchers and carrying single-edged axes. With the cooperation of the three leather shop clerks,
, handle the ghost-patterned soldier ant heads carefully.
Therefore, the treatment of ghost-marked soldier ants has not been affected much.
Aung San and several indigenous people from Dodan Town were still building the second pit overnight.
Several aborigines were holding long hooks and fishing out the carapace of the ghost-striped soldier ants in the center of the pit. They transported it to the river for cleaning and then placed it on the grass to dry.
In order to prevent thieves, there are also cavalry patrolling the area.
…
Surdak returned to Pussy Mountain with a batch of hard carapace of ghost-patterned soldier ants that had not yet fully dried.
After stepping through the Void Gate, before the magic halo underfoot completely dissipated, Aphrodite came up to meet him. Seeing Surdak's tired face, she asked him:
"recently, I am busy?"
Surdak walked to the place where the red crystals were stored, put a bag of red crystals in, and said:
"The tide of beasts has begun."
After saying that, he took out a pile of hard carapace of ghost-patterned soldier ants from his magic pocket and placed it in the lava cave.
Although these hard carapace are pressed flat, they still retain their most original appearance, which can fully reflect the ghost-patterned soldier ant's form during life.
Avrola stretched out her slender fingers and touched the hard armor of the ghost-patterned soldier ants, and said with surprise: "It's actually this kind of ant tribe. There are also this kind of ant tribe in hell. The taste is not bad, right?"
...The demons like to hunt them, and they are pretty good food in the hell world."
She squatted down and rubbed the hard armor of the soldier ant.
When squatting, the black robe perfectly outlines the outline of the plump body.
Aphrodite leaned over and smelled it. She didn't seem to mind the faint sour smell on the hard armor and continued to introduce:
"They have strong fecundity and strong vitality, so they are very good food."
Aphrodite patted the hard armor, carefully distinguished the magic patterns on it, and revealed to Suldak: "Some slaves even keep these red ants in captivity, just like you raise them in animal pens."
They are similar to cattle and sheep, but these red ants are easy to raise, they will eat almost anything, and they are never picky about their food."
"If they hadn't been good at building their nests underground and rarely came to the ground, I guess all the red ants would have been killed by the demon hunters long ago."
Surdak did not expect that these ghost-marked red ants were actually monsters from hell.
At this time, Aphrodite had already moved close to Surdak, hugged one of his arms, pressed her soft breast tightly against his arm, and rested her pointed chin on his broad shoulder.
He blew out a breath gently into his ear and said:
"Boss, I want to go to the Bailin plane to see the beast tide there, what do you think?"
Aphrodite looked very interested, and her charming eyes... Even if the two of them signed a magical contract of equality, it still made Surdak a little unbearable.
Surdak looked at Aphrodite in astonishment and said with some embarrassment:
"How to get there? Are you planning to run to Helensa, then take the magic airship to Bena City, enter Wilkes City through the portal, and ride from Wilkes City to Dodan Town? At least you can still
It takes seven days..."
"Now the teleportation gate in Bailin plane is controlled by the military. It is not easy to get a teleportation pass. Your current identity is so special. How confident do you think you are that when you pass through the checkpoint?
Without being discovered by the guards?”
Aphrodite rubbed her forehead with her fingers, moved closer to Surdak, narrowed her eyes and said:
"By the way, haven't you always wanted to learn the summoning magic circle? If I teach you the summoning magic circle, then you can summon me there."
Surdak did not expect that Aphrodite would share the summoning magic circle so easily, and hurriedly said to Aphrodite:
"Well, okay! If you are willing to teach me, I can learn it."
Then he asked the succubus Aphrodite:
"Has the batch of supplies from Halanza arrived?"
Aphrodite walked back to the hard carapace of the ghost-patterned red ants, picked up a piece of hard carapace, looked at it and said:
"We arrived yesterday! Luke is still waiting for you at the bunkhouse at Camp Sulfur."
Surdak raised his pocket filled with red crystals and said:
"I'll go see Yisel first, and then I'll see Luke when I come back."
…
When Surdak walked into the treasure chamber, he found the red dragon Iser with his head resting on the platform. It had its eyes closed and seemed to be sleeping.
But after taking two steps, Surdak realized that something seemed wrong. A few dragon scales fell off the neck of the red dragon Iser, and there were two not-too-deep scratches on the exposed dragon skin.
Although the wound has almost healed, you can still imagine that it must have gone through a hard battle.
Surdak climbed the steps.
As if feeling Surdak's breath, Israel opened a pair of huge eyes, showing a little grievance, and lay there motionless.
Surdak sat on the ground in front of the red dragon, then took out the cloth bag in the magic waist bag, pulled out a piece of red crystal and stuffed it into Israel's mouth.
"What happened?" Surdak asked.
Israel shook the dragon's head excitedly and let out a low dragon roar, causing the entire treasure chamber to shake...
After a while, it calmed down.
He lay down in front of Surdak again and told him: "I flew a little further this time. After crossing a mountain range, I saw a red continent, and then I flew over a sea. It was a small island that was not too big.
There is a tree of life growing on the island. I wanted to go to the tree of life and drink a few sips of magic spring water. Unexpectedly, a group of dragon eagles flew out from the cliff opposite the jungle."
Israel's eyes showed unwillingness and resentment: "I was so scared that I ran away quickly... I passed through the clouds and flew as high as possible, hoping to get rid of them. Unexpectedly, these dragon eagles kept chasing me."
During the narration, it seemed to want to spread its wings, but unfortunately the body below the neck was on the other side of the stone wall. Normally, Surdak could only see the part above the neck.
Israel continued: "They chased me all the way. I flew with all my strength and got rid of almost all the dragon eagles. Only the biggest one couldn't get rid of it."
A pair of huge eyes showed anger.
It showed the scars on its neck and showed it to Surdak: "These injuries were all caused when fighting it. I didn't even want to duel with it, but it was aggressive and pursued me closely. It was better than me."
It flew so fast that it was like brown candy and couldn't be shaken off. Finally, it flew over the sea and came to the sky above the red continent. I couldn't fly back to the nest directly, so I just circled with it in that sky."
Surdak used Holy Light to heal the red dragon Iser, but it was of little use.
