A sturdy soldier stared with bloodshot eyes, roared and slashed with a knife, knocking down a prairie barbarian who had climbed onto the city wall. However, the degree of mutation of this prairie barbarian was not low, and the hard flesh on his body was
The insect beetles and scales actually blocked most of the power of the sword, so that the force that should have been used to decapitate him only penetrated half of the neck.
Suffering this severe injury, the mutated prairie barbarian did not die for a while. Instead, he became ferocious. He waved his hands that had mutated into sharp claws and struggled to pounce on the soldiers guarding the city. The soldiers wanted to chop again, but found that the machete was jammed.
It was stuck in the neck bones and muscles of the prairie barbarians and could not be pulled out for a while.
Several soldiers nearby who wanted to help were far away and could not arrive in time. Seeing that the other party's sharp claws were about to pierce into his chest, a sharp red sword suddenly fell from the side, killing the mutant.
The prairie barbarians were split in half and completely dead.
"The enemy's sorcery is becoming more and more powerful, and the vitality of these barbarians has become very tenacious. Don't be careless!" Along with the shout, a middle-aged man was covered in blood and his armor was broken, but he still maintained his majestic and heroic aura.
The general strode over.
"It's General Li!" "Great, the general is here. We will definitely survive this wave of attacks!" "General, when will our support return? Brothers can't hold on anymore."
Seeing the middle-aged general coming, the nearby soldiers formed a morale formation and fought back the attack of the prairie barbarians. Then they rested and asked him questions. Obviously, this General Li was here.
Yingyangguan's prestige is very high, and he can always get along well with his subordinates.
Looking at the expectant looks of the soldiers around him, General Li first laughed and cursed, "You guys, you guys always complain that you don't have enough fun fighting those grassland barbarians. Why did they kill you this time when they rose up?"
Your courage is gone, and you can’t wait for reinforcements? It seems that you haven’t trained enough before!”
Then, he glanced around and said in an exciting tone: "The worshipers in the city have just received the Feijian message, and the fastest group of people to come to help will arrive in half an hour! Although they are not many in number,
, but they are all worship experts who have fought against the Northwest Demon Legion for a long time. They are rich in experience and powerful, and can exponentially increase the defense capabilities of our Yingyang Pass. This time, you can rest assured and take a rest quickly.
If you survive this half hour, wait for the reinforcements to arrive and repel the invading prairie barbarian coalition, the imperial court will certainly reward you!"
Hearing what General Li said, the nearby soldiers suddenly became energetic, their faces could not help but show joy, and they started talking happily. Soon, the news that reinforcements were coming spread throughout Yingyang Pass, and the defenders
A huge morale formation was formed, and they cheered up and repelled the attacks of the prairie barbarians one after another.
However, they were happy too early.
Just when the night was getting darker and darker, it was almost impossible to see without torch lighting, and even the warring parties were tired. When they took a short rest at night, the earth suddenly began to tremble continuously.
Immediately afterwards, countless large and small holes appeared on the ground, and streams of filthy, evil, and fishy gray-black gas emerged from the holes, quickly filling the entire battlefield as if it were alive.
This gray-black gas is obviously toxic. As long as you inhale a small amount, you will cough endlessly, then become unconscious, your hair will fall off, your skin will melt, and eventually it will turn into a pool of pus while screaming.
The first ones to suffer were the prairie barbarians. First, large numbers of wounded people gathered in tents to recuperate were infected. (Although their minds were distorted by the "evil fetal movement", they still had the basic ability to judge. The senior leaders of the prairie barbarians would not leave the wounded to fend for themselves.
Self-destruction, he can still go to the battlefield after recovering from his injuries), probably because his resistance was weakened due to injuries, and the poisonous gas on the wounds caused the attack faster, and they screamed and rolled, and then died in the struggle.
Then came those warriors with weaker constitutions. They were confused at first, and then they fought and bit each other. After wounds appeared on their bodies, they quickly died of poisoning.
Only those warriors with a higher degree of demonization and mutation, not only were not poisoned, but seemed to enjoy the nourishment of this poisonous gas. They were obsessed with pursuing the origin of the poisonous gas. They no longer obeyed the commands and orders of their superiors and jumped in like a demon.
Large and small cave entrances appeared not far away.
The powerful leaders and shamans among the prairie barbarians saw that the army had lost control, and hurriedly sought help from the demonic cultivators accompanying the army. However, the demonic cultivators accompanying the army this time were generally not very strong, and the strongest one was not
They were in the late stages of refining gas and becoming gods, and they were unable to break through this weird poisonous gas. In the end, they had no choice but to activate their own defensive magic weapons and retreat in confusion.
The garrison at Yingyang Pass in the distance also discovered the changes in the barbarian camp on the grassland at this time, and immediately reported it to their superiors. Not long after, the top defenders headed by General Li also appeared on the city wall, looking at the turmoil in the barbarian camp on the grassland in the distance.
While he was gloating about his misfortune, he was also filled with doubts.
However, since this poisonous gas is so lethal, there is no guarantee that it will not drift to Yingyang Pass, so they immediately asked the worshipers to activate the complete city protection formation again to prevent this poisonous gas from entering the city. (Complete city protection)
Although the formation has the strongest defense and is the most comprehensive, it consumes too much and can only be used in emergencies. In normal offensive and defensive battles, it is half-activated or even not activated.)
Not long after Qingguang Yingying's city protection formation rose, the tremors of the earth suddenly became more violent. Then, monster insects with weird shapes emerged from large and small holes in the ground. They were covered in blood, and even
There were some internal organs and pieces of flesh and blood hanging on the body. Apparently, the mutated prairie barbarians who had entered the cave entrance had become their food.
These demonic insects are as small as calves and as big as elephants. They are covered in hideous scales and armor. Some of them have huge bone horns on their heads. Judging from the cold light and magical luster shining on the bone horns, once they hit the city wall, they may not be able to use it.
How long will it take for this solid city wall to collapse?
Just as the defenders frowned, they saw the demonic insects turning their heads in one direction and chirping non-stop.
Along with the screams, a huge crack slowly opened in the ground. First, a strong black-brown poisonous gas was emitted, and then, an ugly demonic insect as huge as a hill crawled out.
It has no carapace on its body, only layers of thick and wrinkled scales. Its body shape is similar to a combination of a centipede and an ant. It has dozens of pairs of huge jointed limbs, dragging its fat belly, its upper body is high, and it has a mouth.
It has huge fangs and dozens of large and small eyes all over its head, constantly glancing around, emitting an evil and strange light.
Obviously, it is the leader of these demonic insects!
