Thunder Rhinoceros: Near the exit of the square in front of the pass, four bed crossbows are lined up.
The magic giant crossbow arrows shot along the way were successfully recovered several times. After repeated use, the number of ghost-marked male ants hunted has reached an even number.
However, this time Samira did not ask the auxiliary soldiers to load the magic giant crossbow arrows into the arrow trough. Instead, she loaded a newly modified explosive giant crossbow arrow. The arrow shafts of these crossbow arrows were tied with three explosive bundles of black powder.
I saw two huge Thunder Rhinoceros parked at the south exit of the square. Thirteen ghost-patterned male ants in the square made a hissing sound from their mouths and launched a general attack on the cavalry camp while wearing heavy armor.
The ghost-patterned soldier ants surrounding the square also pressed forward in large numbers, crawling over the mountain wall in dense numbers and swarming toward nearly two thousand cavalry.
To the north of this square is the dozens of meters high city wall built by Plantos Town. The city wall is firmly connected to the cliffs on the left and right sides of the mountain, almost exactly the same as the northern city wall of Duodan Town. There is only one passage under the city wall, but now this
The passage is still blocked, and the ghost-striped red ants almost all climb over from the city wall. It is difficult to imagine how those huge ghost-striped male ants climbed over.
The cavalry blocked the southern exit of the square in front of the pass. There were steep cliffs on both sides. The ghost-striped red ants here were so dense that they trampled on each other.
Samira stood on the platform behind Thunder Rhinoceros, holding a torch in her hand.
Under the firelight, Samira's slender body looked a little weak, but no one among the veterans in the cavalry battalion dared to underestimate her. The captain of the archers was simply a harvester of merit on the battlefield.
After the two commanders Intas and Hampton rushed into the town of Plantos, they were transferred to the middle of the team to rest due to exhaustion. Now everyone stood in front of the square at the pass, posing to fight to the death with the ghost-striped red ants.
In such a posture, the two of them need to step up and coordinate their own cavalry battalions.
It is already dusk now, and the sky has darkened.
Once it comes to night, ghost-striped red ants are more active than during the day. They are the kind of monsters that like to lie dormant during the day and come out at night.
Everyone knows that if the pass of Plantos Town cannot be captured now, these red ants will become even crazier at night. Then the cavalry battalion will have to find a place to rest. If there is no shelter suitable for rest,
This means that the cavalry battalion has to withdraw from Plantos Town. Once it reaches that point, it means that all the efforts made during the day will be in vain.
Both Intas and Hampton knew that along the way, almost all the cavalry under Suldak were leading the rhythm of the attack.
The 7th and 9th cavalry battalions were all supporting from the side, and now they were in a decisive battle posture. They felt that they could not continue to be cowardly, so they pushed to the front with a group of elite cavalry.
But this time, Surdak calmly squinted his eyes and did not rush out recklessly. When he saw two commanders, Intas and Hampton, approaching with their elite regiments, he reached out to grab the soldiers.
Two commanders stopped him.
Not only them, but also Andrew, who was promoted to a second-level warrior, cautiously stepped back. Seeing that he was covered in sticky brown plasma, he didn't know how many ghost-patterned soldier ants he had killed to achieve this, a top-level warrior.
The primary magic pattern structure is almost on the verge of being scrapped, but it doesn't even blink. It's really arrogant...
The three crossbow operators standing on the platform, under Samira's instructions, actually put the torch on the arrow shaft of the giant crossbow. In the dusk, a flash of fire ignited the fuse tied to it, and the sparks were particularly conspicuous in the dim light.
"What is this?" Commander Apton was the first to react, looking up at the sparks on the back of the Thunder Rhinoceros.
Surdak looked a little proud and said with a smile: "You can understand it as a large fire scale bullet. I own a sulfur mine in Helensa, so I have always had close relations with the firearms workshop in Constantinople.
During business dealings, they gave me something newly developed, namely these fireworks."
"Tonight, we will hold a large fireworks show in the town of Plantos."
Four giant crossbow arrows streaked across the sky...
"You two need to lead your elite cavalry to help me block the ghost-marked red ants rushing up from the town, and cover your ears..."
Surdak reminded loudly and immediately covered the war horse's ears with both hands.
"boom……"
"Boom boom boom..."
The continuous crackling sounds were like rolling thunder overhead, and in an instant, two ghost-striped male ants were blasted into the sky.
The red ants with ghost stripes in the entire square exploded in an instant.
The cavalry in the front row threw the fire scale bullets in their hands at the same time, and a series of explosions drove back the waves of ghost-marked red ants.
Even the two Thunder Rhinoceros let out low neighing sounds, and the entire pass shook violently amidst the explosions.
Samira raised her hand again, pulled out the crossbow string, and loaded the giant crossbow arrow in one go.
Before these ghost-marked red ants could recover from the explosion, four giant crossbow arrows tied with explosives pierced the dusk sky again, shooting through several ghost-marked male ants in the ghost-marked ant colony.
The moment the male ant was about to use its giant tentacles to clip off the giant crossbow bolt, the giant crossbow bolt was detonated again.
There was chaos in the smoke-filled square.
The ghost-striped ant queen suspended on the top of the city wall disappeared again.
A group of heavily armored cavalry lined up at the edge of the square, holding five-meter-long knight spears in their hands, and launched a continuous charge towards the ghost-patterned red ants on the square.
Intas and Hampton were also among them. They saw that when the fire scale bomb was detonated, more than half of the thirteen neatly arranged ghost-striped male ants were killed. The remaining few also had their limbs broken and their arms were broken.
Wrapped in a layer of flames, it rolled awkwardly in the square.
The cavalry rushed towards the ghost-striped soldier ants. No one cared about the acid they spit. Intas, Hampton, Gallatin and others led the cavalry to rush to the base of the wall, then turned their horses and charged back again.
Before nightfall, the cavalry surrounding the square lit hundreds of torches, illuminating the place as bright as day.
At this moment, a group of veterans led by Andrew rushed up the pass wall along the steps and successfully regained the lost mountain pass north of Plantos Town.
A group of veterans quickly occupied the bed crossbows on the city wall. For the veterans stationed in Duodan Town, they had great trust in these bed crossbows. They were just waiting for the shooters on the Thunder Rhinoceros to come over and receive them. These bed crossbows were used to kill those giant ghosts.
The killer weapon of tattooed soldier ants.
There were several catapults on the edge of the square that were not completely destroyed. The veterans of these cavalry battalions repaired them quickly, and soon threw the flints from the stone racks next to the catapults onto the mountain road north of the pass...
Just after nightfall, Suldak's cavalry reoccupied the mountain pass in Plantos Town.
A bonfire was lit at the top of the city, and three green magic flares slowly flew into the night sky.
