The explosive arrows of the crossbows and the flints of the catapults made these ghost-marked soldier ants miserable and retreated steadily.
They were forced to give up the stone bridge. Andrew and Samira quickly completely occupied the stone bridge with a span of three kilometers. Sure enough, the closer you get to Tianzhu Mountain, the wider the stone bridge deck becomes.
The diameter of the part of the stone bridge that goes deep into the soil is almost two hundred meters.
There are actually other stone bridges next to it, but they are not as big as this one.
Surdak led the army quickly through the stone arch bridge and finally reached the other side of the lake.
At the foot of Shizhu Peak, I discovered that this place is simply a dynasty of red ants with ghost stripes. The entire mountain wall has been riddled with holes dug by red ants with ghost stripes. Looking around, there are ant nests dug by red ants with ghost stripes everywhere.
I don't even know which hole is the real entrance to the ant nest.
There are some busy ghost-striped worker ants everywhere. These ghost-striped soldier ants, which are about the size of a calf, line up neatly, with all kinds of food on their tentacles. They gather from all directions and get into the cave.
.
The lines arranged by these worker ants look like exquisite runes from a distance...
Tens of thousands of ghost-patterned soldier ants are blocked under the stone bridge. These ant colonies are mixed with a large number of giant soldier ants. At this moment, the tribal warriors at the front are holding shields to block the attack of the ghost-patterned soldier ants, catapults and beds.
The flints and exploding arrows shot by the crossbow continued to explode in the ant colony, and more soldier ants rushed up almost crazily.
There are a large number of giant soldier ants in the middle of the ant colony. Samira must deal with these giant soldier ants first, otherwise once they rush over, they will put huge pressure on the military formation.
Following several rounds of counterattacks by the ghost-striped soldier ants, most of the northern bridgeheads that had been occupied were re-occupied by the ghost-striped red ants.
Moreover, the army has been fighting on the bridge, and it is difficult to recover many giant crossbow arrows after they are shot out.
Up to this moment, the giant crossbow arrows worth 10,000 gold coins that Surdak bought from the businessman Malacom had almost been used up. The supply at the rear had shown to be insufficient. Surdak could only give up the stone bridge again.
, retreated to the southern exit of the stone bridge, waiting for the giant crossbow mobilized by merchant Malacom from Wilkes City.
Every day, a large number of ghost-patterned soldier ants rush out, and the battle on the stone bridge becomes more intense.
The soldier ant camp is also mixed with some giant soldier ants with black hard armor. These giant soldier ants are not afraid of ordinary crossbows at all. Every time they emerge from the ant colony, Samira will entertain them with magic giant crossbows.
.
…
Entering November, there were two consecutive heavy snowfalls during this period.
The ice lake under the stone bridge can already support pedestrians, and horse racing in the edge area is no problem, but the Thunder Rhinoceros cannot walk on it yet.
The combat effectiveness of the ghost-striped soldier ants was greatly reduced in the wind and snow. When Andrew led the cavalry back from the stone bridge, a howling sound erupted from the lake in the distance, and a huge monster was on the withered grass beside the lake.
Go up, chasing the adventure groups and mercenary groups who collect magic herbs overnight.
A group of ghost-patterned soldier ants emerged from the cave behind it. They raised their tall tentacles and caught up with those who were left behind. Blood and limbs suddenly exploded in the crowd.
Although the adventure group by the lake organized several counterattacks, they were quickly dispersed by the rampaging behemoth.
The members of the Adventure Group and the Mercenary Group quickly approached the Surdak military formation, and the ghost-patterned soldier ants chased after them.
Andrew led the cavalry battalion and rushed towards the behemoth along the lake at this moment.
The behemoth was twice as thick as the ten-meter-long ghost-striped male ant. Its armor was almost dyed black. Its huge head was raised high, as if there were three pairs of tentacles growing out of its head, and six huge ones.
The outriggers support the body. Perhaps the sand near the lake is too soft for it. The six outriggers are stuck in it and have to be pulled out of the sand each time to take a step forward.
Gu/span>’s huge, fat belly dragged a deep ravine out of the sand beside the lake. It had a pair of extremely long tentacles, like two spears, and six or seven members of the adventure group were already hanging on them.
When the corpse was waving its tentacles, the completely fragmented corpses were hanging on it and swinging back and forth. Not only were the two tentacles stained red by blood, but even its upper body was dyed red by the sticky blood.
Samira stood on a platform high above the Armed Thunder Rhinoceros. She asked her assistant to load a huge 'armour-breaking' crossbow arrow on the bed crossbow.
Unfortunately, this place is a bit far away from the battlefield, so we can only watch the members of the adventure group desperately trying to escape this way.
At this moment, Andrew's five hundred cavalrymen had already rushed forward to meet him.
But when he saw a swordsman who summoned the shadow of the Sword Master being pierced through the chest by the behemoth, he knew that all the cavalry behind him could not be the opponent of that behemoth.
All the cavalrymen tried to keep as far away from the behemoth as possible. There were also several powerful swordsmen in the adventure group, desperately trying to hold down the behemoth and create time for their teammates to escape.
They all know how sharp and powerful the two tentacles of this behemoth are, and can easily penetrate even the Excellent-level tower shield.
Fortunately, it was stuck in the sand and it was extremely difficult to move. It was like a huge farming machine. Every time it took a step forward, sand flew up on both sides of its body.
Andrew didn't even think about the consequences of rushing forward, so he rode up on his horse and charged forward single-handedly.
The five hundred cavalry behind them dispersed to intercept the other ghost-patterned soldier ants who were chasing the adventure group.
The two-headed ogre had just walked out of the military camp and happened to see the behemoth by the lake. He shouted to Suldak: "Dak, a male ant has emerged over there. Andrew may not be able to defeat it. Let's go help...
…”:.
This was the first time that Surdak heard that the ogre wanted to gather his companions to fight against the opponent. Usually the ogre rarely talked like this.
But since Gulitem said this, he quickly got out of the tent, mounted his horse and chased after Gulitem.
Samira saw Surdak and Gulitem chasing behind Andrew, and also let the armed Thunder Rhino approach the behemoth along the grassland by the lake.
Before Surdak could get close to the behemoth, he felt a rumble from the ground beneath his feet, followed by a series of huge earthquakes that made it almost impossible to stand firm on the ground. A large lump suddenly bulged out from the ground near the lake.
, a huge creature emerged from the permafrost and stretched out two three-meter-long tentacles to block Gulitem and Surdak.
In the cave dug behind it, countless ghost-patterned soldier ants poured out.
Samira stood on the armed Thunder Rhino, less than 200 meters away from this behemoth. Her bed crossbow happened to be equipped with a giant 'armour-breaking' crossbow arrow. Facing such a behemoth, she didn't even need to aim.
Can hit.
The arrow flew out with a trace of wind element...
It instantly hit the behemoth in front of it, but the 'armor-breaking' crossbow arrow actually pierced the thick armor on its chest and failed to penetrate the hard armor at all.
The behemoth looked down at his chest in astonishment, and then let out a furious roar.
The shock wave rippling out from under his feet blew the ghostly patterned soldier ants that had just crawled out of the wormhole into rolling motions. Gulitem was even pushed back more than ten meters by the circular shock wave. We provide you with the fastest speed.
