There are many experts in the underground world who are good at climbing over walls and walls. There are many deformed monsters lurking in the darkness, and there are many ways to make yourself fly on rock walls and even upside-down domes.
Therefore, building a stronghold in the underground world is even more complicated and troublesome than in the surface world.
In the long or short history of the Spider Woman clan, it is natural that they have had the experience of being hit by the enemy's "three-dimensional offensive".
It is precisely because of this that the defense system of the spider women finally changed to the current method of using the silk of the Thousand Silk Demon Spider to completely wrap the entire nest.
The silk of the Thousand Silk Demon Spider is extremely flexible and can have multiple functions such as detection, trap, and defense at the same time. It can be said to be an extremely powerful and rare city-building resource. If it has any shortcomings, it may be that it is afraid of fire.
~
Of course, the so-called "fear of fire" does not mean that a small flame can burn down the entire Spider Girl's lair.
In order to effectively reduce the risk of fire, demon-hunting spiders often secrete some saliva on the spider silk to increase the stickiness and fire resistance of the spider silk.
Therefore, if it were ordinary mortal fire, it would basically not pose any threat to the nest system built by the Thousand Silk Demon Spider.
Perhaps it is precisely because this impregnable defense system is so excellent that today's spider girl tribe rarely has the experience of being knocked on the door, especially the nest that was overturned, even if it was the one Liu Yifei saved last time.
A small tribe of spider women whose branch stronghold was destroyed by the dungeon army was also forcibly defeated by the enemy with a huge superior force.
Ever since the Spider Woman clan developed this nesting method, let alone being attacked from the ground by the enemy, even a three-dimensional combination of rock wall hanging troops and aerial flying troops would have no chance of quietly infiltrating the Spider Woman's lair.
Medium~
Not only that, because of the sensitive reaction of spider silk and the constant vigilance and detection of the Thousand Silk Demon Spiders, it is extremely difficult even for invisible units to secretly infiltrate into the spider girl clan's lair!
However, it is precisely because this kind of comfortable life has been too long that the spider girls have developed a blind spot in their thinking. That is "no matter where the enemy comes from, they cannot bypass our nest defense"!
Once this kind of consciousness appears, it will naturally become the fatal link in the Spider Woman Clan's defensive war at critical moments!
For example~
Since the dark beetles can snake their way into the spider women's lair from "under their feet", of course they can also make the same tunnel from "over their heads"!
Of course, if only ordinary soldiers or dark beetle troops are transported, there is no need to worry too much, but when this hidden "military way" is combined with the "natural enemies" of the spider women, something like this will be born.
Apocalyptic horror scene!
The spider silk that acts as a "city wall" on the periphery of the nest is indeed not afraid of ordinary mortal fire, but the elemental flames of the elemental world are alien energy that is several times more intense and hot than mortal fire!
In previous contacts, it has been proven that the fire elemental man's attack has a huge and clear suppressive effect on the entire system of the demon-hunting spider. When the fire elemental man rushes into the spider woman's lair, it is really a disaster.
!
And when this disaster was so close, the mistress, who was struck by lightning, was so shocked that she couldn't even say a word.
The redness in the darkness spreads like blood soaking through the curtain~
Under the beating beauty, the homeland where the Spider Girl family has thrived for a long time is rapidly disintegrating!
The burning light instantly illuminated the entire empty and huge underground cave space, and countless monsters accustomed to red-hot vision and cold darkness let out all kinds of creepy screams in an instant!
The spider women screamed in fear, the slaves were commotion in confusion and terror, and with the burning home nest in the background, almost all the spider women's will completely collapsed at this moment!
When you are leaning on your home and are confidently planning to defeat the invading enemies and trying to defend the safety of your home with the heroic appearance of a victor, you suddenly look back and find that your familiar home has collapsed and turned into ashes in an instant, especially many of them.
When we meet relatives and friends who have lived together for a long time. Even the strongest warrior may not be able to withstand the impact of that moment!
The Spider Woman clan is powerful, there is no doubt about it~
However, even the most powerful warrior couldn't help but panic when he saw this moment.
battle, enemies, flames, ruined homes, enemy forces taking advantage of the situation
Everything is in chaos!
The Spider Girls had expected the beginning, but they didn't expect that the war would take such a shocking turn.
"Quiet!!!"
Just when the commotion in the team was getting louder and louder, and when it looked like the entire military formation was about to collapse, an extremely clear, loud but majestic and familiar cold drink swept across the entire place~
This is the voice of the Great Mistress!!!
All the spider heroines and the demon-hunting spiders who had just felt the same panic and commotion quieted down almost instantly, and looked uniformly towards the mysterious position in the military formation.
"Everyone, don't panic!
Keep suppressing the enemy's offensive from the front. The rest will gradually retreat towards the 'Hidden Nest'!"
The voice of the Great Mistress becomes more profound and mysterious under the blessing of phantom sound, like a master hidden behind the scenes pointing out the way forward for all the confused people.
However, people like Gregory and others who gathered around the Great Mistress discovered that the face of the Great Mistress was completely different from the calm and majestic tone in her voice!
My daughter betrayed me, powerful enemies invaded me, my home was destroyed and there were soldiers pursuing me.
Even in the long life of the great mistress, this is the biggest crisis she has ever experienced!
Even if she was the supreme ruler of her clan for a long time, facing such a major crisis that affected the life and death of the entire clan, she couldn't help but feel panic for no reason.
The calm voice is completely forced by the last bit of rationality, and if you are careful, you can also feel the complexity of the speaker's heart from the slightly chaotic breathing that spreads from the phantom sound technique~
While the mistress was speaking, the nails of her hands were already deeply embedded in the palms of her hands unconsciously.
The catastrophe of annihilation and genocide may be the scene that the great mistress is least willing to face.
However, regardless of the true mood of the Great Mistress at the moment, at least her seemingly calm command gave the rest of the people the hope and courage to continue struggling.
The main area of the Brood Nest behind is raging with fire, and it is almost impossible to get back. Even with all the efforts to rescue such a fire, it may not be possible to save it, not to mention that there are strong enemies surrounding it, ready to pounce at any time and kill the Mistress and the others in one fell swoop?
Fortunately, at this time, the main body of the Great Mistress was already in the animal pen area next to the mother's nest.
This is the only area in the entire nest that is not covered by spider silk. No matter how big the fire is, it is impossible to spread here, and right in front of the animal pen and the mother nest is what the big mistress just called the "hidden nest".
Under the central control of the Grand Mistress, the entire team began to change formations little by little. While the front line maintained offensive firepower, the center and rear formations began to slowly move toward the right front.
In the fire behind them, from time to time, some Spider Woman tribesmen rushed out of the sea of fire and flames to join the team. For these tribesmen who had almost no fighting power, the Great Mistress could not tell whether they should save or abandon them at this moment, so she simply had to let it take its course.
Naturally, when they arrived, they were allowed to follow the team and move towards the Hidden Nest.
"Your Majesty the Great Mistress~
What you call a 'hidden nest' is"
Another round of attacks returned. The Spider Woman rebels on the opposite side seemed to have noticed the intentions of the Great Mistress.
After all, they were all compatriots who had lived together for a long time, and they knew some of the secrets within the clan.
If the rebels had not been suppressed on the scene, I am afraid that they would have taken advantage of the favorable terrain to block the retreat of the Great Mistress.
And just now, Gregory led his men out in a sweeping sweep, completely scattering a group of enemy mobile flying troops, completely eliminating the opponent's idea of trying to trap the Grand Matron's troops.
"'Hidden Nest'?
That is the temple where we, the people of the King of the Cave, worship our Lord. On weekdays, only the priests of the clan can go there to decorate it.
But that place is also the last resort for our tribe when it encounters a major crisis. If we can get there, maybe we can find a way out."
"perhaps?"
After hearing the slightly unconfident introduction from the Great Mistress, the fire of soul in Gregory's eyes pulsed.
"My daughter is also one of the priests in the clan.
If her betrayal this time was premeditated, I'm afraid she must have tampered with it there."
"What?
Damn it!
Then how can you still order a retreat there?
Doesn’t this mean you’re throwing yourself into a trap?”
The blazing soul fire on the Dark Flame Bone Dragon's body was boiling and pulsing, apparently frightened by what the Great Mistress said.
"But do you have a better way?
Right now, we have no way forward and are being pursued by soldiers, and those damn Dark Beetles don't know how many reinforcements they have prepared.
Even if we can temporarily gain the advantage on the battlefield, can you guarantee that we can completely defeat the opponents in front of us before those behind us catch up?
Once surrounded by others,
Do you think we still have a choice?"
The words of the great mistress instantly left Gregory speechless~
Yes. Judging from the current situation, do they have more choices?
The bone dragon, which was like a huge blue lighthouse in the darkness, couldn't help but remain silent. Perhaps, since the first spark burst out from the red flames, the situation was already doomed.
The chaos in the Grand Matron's headquarters was quickly suppressed. However, even though they tried their best to suppress it, the counterattack force from the opposite direction of the rebels was obviously strengthened.
After the confrontation some time ago, the slave troops on the rebel side suffered a large number of losses. They were either consumed or were re-charmed and captured by the Grand Mistress Ministry with higher authority. It has to be said that the rebel group lost a certain amount of power.
After the strength bonus, the rebels will indeed suffer more if they purely use racial talents.
But is this the full strength of the rebels?
Obviously not
Amidst the high-frequency flapping of wings, a shadow suddenly danced around the edge of the battlefield.
At the edge of the battlefield, a large number of cannon fodder troops are concentrated here for fierce consumption. Whether it is the slave troops of the Spider Women or the charge troops of the Dark Beetles, they are like consumables on the battlefield, rapidly consuming blood and lives. There are enemies.
, more of my own
But in this dark corner where no one is paying attention
Cha~
A low cutting sound was heard. A black line suddenly flashed from a few meters away, and then in an instant, it penetrated the middle of a god of death who was waving a huge scythe in his hand and fighting fiercely with countless Zerg around him!
There was no warning in advance for this attack. There were no clues left at the beginning of the attack, especially when the opponent was able to escape the detection of the God of Death. His strength was unbelievable!
Fortunately, the God of Death's "Spirit Body" talent took effect, and this blow was directly ignored. Otherwise, even if the God of Death was cut off in the middle, even if he was immortal, I am afraid that it would be difficult for him to rush through the insect swarm as majesticly as he is now.
.
The enemy's attack attracted the intense attention of the God of Death, but before it could find out who was secretly attacking it, a flash of emerald cold light suddenly flashed in the darkness!
It was a cold green blade light!
The light of the blade that passed by was directed towards the face of the God of Death this time, as if intending to smash it into pieces with one blow!
The God of Death finally ducked his head before the attack, narrowly avoiding the opponent's second sneak attack. Then the giant scythe pushed out flatly, taking away the life of a dark beetle next to him who was thrown into a nightmare state~
The red power of life disappeared in a flash, and then it replenished the little physical strength that the God of Death had just lost by the other beetles around him.
And in this moment, two other shadows came over and struck the God of Death twice in half a second. If it weren't for the large number of densely packed dark beetles around it that were sucking life from the God of Death, it would have died long ago.
~
However, even so, the Death God's life was thinner than paper at this moment. At the next moment, he finally didn't want to be entangled anymore and instead "escaped" and sank in an attempt to avoid the opponent's combo attacks.
The same situation occurred in other places on the surrounding battlefields.
one two three
Not only those Death mercenaries who were rooted like nails on the edge of the battlefield were repeatedly attacked by surprise, but even the spider heroines who commanded some complex surrounding battle situations were also attacked by surprise!
Although these spider women protected by medium-to-high-level demon-hunting spiders were warned in advance that there were strange guys appearing around them,
However, the opponent's speed and movement ability are too fast, let alone the spider woman. Even the demon-hunting spider that senses the opponent's existence in advance cannot escape the enemy's attack. In a moment, there are already four mid-level or above
The demon-hunting spiders were chopped into pieces and beheaded by these almost invisible and terrifying hunters!
The central battle situation is full of momentum!
With the elite vampire army around, the enemy's offensive is like a huge wave crashing on a ten thousand year old rock, shattering into water splashes all over the sky countless times~
Although the enemy attacked again and again and even brought out a large number of elite dark beetles during the period, the vampires always resisted on the front line without retreating a step!
The gold-clad phantoms are the true immortal kings in the darkness. They exert the power of blood and terror to the extreme, and while strangling a large number of enemy troops, they always carefully control the integrity of their own team.
However, the smooth situation in the central theater cannot erase the security risks existing in the surrounding areas.
After the sneak attacks happened frequently and were successful several times, the Mistress and Gregory soon realized that someone was doing something on the edge.
But what is frustrating is that after they sent support troops to reinforce both sides, those terrorist hunters without traces disappeared!
And once these mobile troops left, those guys immediately stuck on them like dog-skin plaster until the army gradually retreated to the location of the "Hidden Nest". The army suffered a lot of losses as a result. Especially the bodies of the two spider heroines.
The death made the great mistress extremely angry, not to mention the guardian demon-hunting spider who died along with him~
"The other party has something strange in his hand!"
The Great Mistress usually arranges manpower to guard the surroundings of the Hidden Nest, while arranging elite exploration troops to go deep into the Hidden Nest to check the safety of the underground passages. At the same time, she said to Gregory next to her with a grim expression.
"Do I know how you can use your demon spiders to lock onto the opponent's position?
Those guys seem to be able to effectively conceal their soul energy, making it difficult for my men to detect them."
"It's hard
They seem to know our methods of arranging traps very well~
It's probably my precious daughter's reinforcements again, right?
They have avoided all the traps along the way. I am adjusting the spiders to re-arrange the tactile web lines, but they move very fast. Whether it will be effective or not remains to be seen. Even if their location is roughly determined, they may still be able to escape.
"
"So you want to"
Moved!
The vampire army, which has been firmly occupying the front line of the war zone since the beginning of the war. Like a rock, has steadily withstood all the enemy's offensives, and finally moved!
It seemed that because they had arrived at their destination, the Great Matron's troops could finally breathe a sigh of relief. After regrouping their defense forces, Gregory actually sent the vampires out!
The previous vampires were like a wall. An indestructible wall of flesh that was extremely solid and could block all enemy attacks!
But now, they have transformed into the most terrifying executioners on the battlefield, meat grinders!
Under the command of the commander, the vampires roared to vent the excitement and infinite killing intent in their hearts, holding high their sharp claws that had been soaked in bright red and pushing forward firmly!
One step~
Two steps~
Three steps~
The array of vampires moved forward little by little, and as the vampires counterattacked, the enemy retreated helplessly.
The remaining slave troops of the Grand Matron and the last elite demon-hunting spiders seem to have gone crazy this time~
It was clear that they were on the verge of survival, but instead of setting up an iron barrel formation to hold on, they began to devote all their efforts to counterattack!
Follow the momentum of the vampires. The wing guard troops on both sides keep up little by little, taking advantage of the enemy's retreat to advance and advance again!
this
This turned out to be a counterattack that was forced on top?
When the roaring vampire army changed from a slow advance to a surging charge, even the leader of the rebels, the daughter of the Grand Matron, couldn't help but watch with horror!
She thought she had realized the terror of these undead creatures, but she didn't expect that the power of the undead creatures on the battlefield was actually beyond her expectation!
These unclean beings who have passed away have no blood or tears, no timidity or hesitation. As long as the commander gives an order, even if they are asked to jump off a cliff, they will resolutely execute it without even frowning!
And the scariest thing is that these guys don’t even have the concept of “tired”!
"Strength" has always been a hidden setting in the game. The official has not officially proposed this concept to players. However, careful players have already discovered it.
Whether it is a player or an NPC, if they continue to perform strenuous exercise, their nerve reflexes and strength will gradually fail. This is what is called "tired".
Increasing strength and physique can effectively increase "vigor". Therefore, the more advanced and advanced an individual is, the less likely to be "tired". However, this battle has lasted for nearly two hours, even for the strongest slave soldiers.
This will also gradually show signs of fatigue.
After all, in a chaotic battlefield, you are constantly fighting for life and death. Both your concentration and physical strength must be maintained at an extremely high level. The battle lasts for several hours, unless it is a truly high-level creature.
Otherwise, even a brute force monster like the Minotaur with high morale and strong body would not be able to bear it~
However, this problem will not have the slightest impact on undead creatures!
This problem may not be obvious on ordinary days, but once it is placed on the battlefield, especially on the battlefield where there are endless battles, the impact will be huge~
Both the slaves and the dark beetles were a little tired, or they were demoralized and retreated because of the terrifying power of the vampires.
This is in sharp contrast to the almost lively vampire!
Even the daughter of the Great Mistress had to admit that fighting against the undead army was indeed the biggest unplanned mistake in this battle!
But she wasn't overly worried.
She had already expected her mother's choice, and about the passage under the "Hidden Nest" hum~
She has long been determined to pay off her old troops, so how can she give them a chance to escape?
The Hidden Nest was rarely visited by people on weekdays, so she had secretly sent people to destroy it a few days ago. Before this sneak attack started, she even asked some of her personal guards to take advantage of the slave riots to disperse the surrounding Hidden Nest.
The guards destroyed the ruined passage below for a second time, completely cutting off the last way of life for the clan~
Want to escape?
To her, it's just wishful thinking!
However, it was indeed beyond her expectation that her mother would dare to order someone to fight back at this moment.
She knows her mother's character best. She is usually a relatively conservative person, especially the demon-hunting spiders in her clan, who are her mother's absolutely precious core force!
If you can fight hard, send all the elite demon-hunting spiders to the front line to attack the central theater here.
Are they trying to break through and penetrate the entire battlefield to reach their own command center?
Hum~
If my mother really had such an idea,
That is nothing short of a dream!
I saw the daughter of the Great Mistress and a subordinate beside her whispering a few words to each other. Not long after the other party accepted the order and left, the insect swarm suddenly began to make a neat neighing sound!
The sound grew from small to loud, and in the end it seemed extremely harsh and shocking. Even the big mistress and others who were far behind the war zone couldn't help frowning at it, not understanding that these insects were so numerous that no one even bothered to kill them.
What are you doing again?
However, amidst the roar of the insect swarm, all the dark beetles suddenly began to attack like crazy at the weak defensive link between the enemy's front and flanks.
The so-called weak links are actually only relative terms.
This time, all the elite members of the Great Mistress came out, and the small group was the most powerful in the field. However, the Dark Beetles still crashed into the enemy as if they were desperate for their lives!
This is not even a battle anymore, it is simply a way of exchanging one's own life for hurting the opponent and killing both of them, and it is also a way of losing money by injuring the enemy eight thousand and losing ten thousand to oneself!
Under the crazy counterattack of the Dark Insect Army, the advance counterattack force of the Great Mistress finally slowed down bit by bit.
It's not that the charging vampires can't be killed.
Actually~
With the strength of these vampires, even if they collide with a squadron of high-level creatures, they are not without a fight. However, because the wing guards around them are trapped, if they continue to rush forward, they will only end up being divided and surrounded by the enemy.
end.
Even if the vampires are confident that they can protect themselves, at least the rest of the elite, including the demon-hunting spiders, will give up.
It is true that they are counterattacking, but they are definitely not going to die. Grigory cannot make such a decisive choice, and as the great mistress of the alliance, she will not let him make it.
As a result, the elite counterattack army was helplessly dragged in place~
Every minute and every second, hundreds of dark beetles crash into the edge of the bulging troops. However, such sacrifices ultimately trap the most powerful elite troops in the hands of the opponent!
On the other hand, the defense force used by the Great Mistress to surround and protect the entrance to the Hidden Nest is definitely weak. After losing the backbone of the main bodyguard, even the defense circle that has been basically formed is helplessly shrinking little by little.
Back
Chance!!!
Suddenly a whistle sounded among the rebels, and the next moment, a dense and strange sound of flapping wings suddenly came from the air!
And almost at the same time that the strange sound appeared, almost all the heroes on the Great Mistress' side fired all kinds of attack magic in their hands into the air as if they had agreed in advance!
Exploding flames, diffuse ice currents, jumping lightning, and rolling gale force winds
Having more AOE skills is really the best "detection method", because even if it is an invisible enemy, it will be difficult to escape if it is exposed to area attack magic that does not distinguish between friend and foe. Even the God of Death has a half chance of ignoring physics.
The attacking perverted monster had no choice but to be beaten out of nothingness in the face of a large area of magic attacks!
But this time, what the big matrons shot out in one breath were hundreds of strange and huge monster insects that they had never seen before.
