Wu Yan issued a stern warning, and the cavalrymen's expressions changed after hearing the words.
Wild monsters are spirits that "transform" from material elements, and "melt transformation" is a further level of change. That is, when certain conditions are met, more than a plurality of low-level monsters can aggregate and undergo "melt transformation" to form
Improve quality at the expense of reducing quantity, and generate more powerful high-level monsters.
For the soldiers who have been dealing with strange monsters for many years, "melting" is undoubtedly the last thing they want to encounter.
"Don't panic! Steady your position!"
Before the cavalrymen came to their senses, an arrow suddenly shot from behind. The arrow passed over the heads of the mud monsters, accurately hit the cocoon behind them, and caused a small explosion.
The one who fired the feather arrow was the female general Han Yu who was on guard at the rear. Her specially-made explosive arrow exploded a piece of the cocoon, exposing the dark gray stone at its core. The exposed stone trembled slightly in the air, and then suddenly popped out after a moment.
He pulled out five fingers and pulled off the cocoon shell in one go.
The removed soil cocoons collapsed one after another, revealing a human figure made of dark gray stone. The stone human figure was about two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a broad body, except for its extremely flat head. There was a pair of small holes on the flat head that looked like eyes.
The cavalry were locked on the cavalry not far away and rushed forward with low roars.
"Be careful, we're coming!"
The cavalrymen made nervous calls and hurriedly raised their halberds to get into battle formation.
The gray stone monster that was "melted" from multiple earth monsters was far superior to its predecessor in terms of size and speed. The gray stone monster was seen aiming at the feathered cavalry at the front, striding to close the distance between them. On the other hand, the gray stone monster had just escaped.
The cavalryman entangled by the monsters reluctantly thrust out the halberd in his hand.
The halberd hit the gray stone monster's right shoulder, but the halberd blade was deflected by the hard stone. The cavalry's attempt to contain the thrust only left a light white scratch on the opponent's body, and the gray stone monster was not affected at all.
He rushed forward to the cavalry and beat them down with his fist as big as a millstone.
The cavalryman jerked the reins, and the bird sitting on his crotch jumped back quickly, narrowly avoiding the heavy blow.
The cavalry wanted to use the explosive power of the hammer-headed bird to distance themselves, but who knew that the gray stone monster let out a violent roar and actually reached out to grab the soil monster at its feet and smashed it towards it!? This unexpected move caught the cavalry off guard and barely managed to
He raised his halberd to block the monster, but was knocked off the bird's back by the impact.
The cavalryman rolled to the ground with a distressed look on his face. After blocking the impact of the monster, his arms were temporarily paralyzed, and even his halberd flew out of his hands. When the cavalryman was trying to get up in a panic, the gray stone monster over there had already strode closer.
, aiming at the cavalryman who landed on the ground, he once again waved his fist, which can be called a murder weapon.
The cavalryman could not move, with a look of despair on his face.
At the next moment, the cavalry heard the sound of breaking wind. A feather arrow passed through the gap between the stone arm and the shoulder, and swished into the gray stone monster's brow. The explosive arrow that hit the face immediately exploded with a loud bang, and half of the stone was lost.
The gray stone monster with a head fell backwards involuntarily, followed by two more arrows, which hit the gray stone monster's left and right knees respectively.
In the explosion, the gray stone monster's feet lost support and fell heavily to the ground.
In order to deal with the elusive tricks of the wild monsters, the Yuqi Battalion, in addition to the standard-armed ordinary cavalry, is also equipped with tactical units like the female general Han Yu who have special skills and can suppress the opponent's edge at critical moments. They were struck by three explosive arrows.
After being hit one after another, the gray stone monster, which had lost its head and legs, was flopping around on the ground, but it was no longer a threat.
"Surround it and annihilate it with a phalanx."
Under the command of Wu Yan, four cavalry formed a square formation to surround the gray stone monster. They first restricted its movement with halberds, and then urged the sitting birds to attack. After being violently pecked by the hammer-headed bird, within a moment, the flapping gray stone monster
It turned into broken stones all over the ground.
At this time, the cavalryman who had fallen off the bird also seized the opportunity to climb back onto the bird, showing a lucky look on the bird's back that he had saved his life. The cavalryman cast a grateful look at the female general who provided strong support, and grabbed
He raised his halberd and prepared to return to the battle line, but the moment he looked away, his expression froze.
"That, that's it!?"
After confirming that the tactics were effective, the group of earth monsters began to "melt" desperately. In a moment, seven or eight stone cocoons appeared behind them!? The aggregated stone cocoons slowly peeled off their shells while trembling. They were similar to the gray stone monsters before, just like that.
Emerging from the stone cocoon one after another——
"Hey, are you kidding me?"
"Melting or something like that should be quite rare."
The cavalrymen looked at the scene in front of them almost dumbfounded.
The powerful and hard-bodied gray stone monster can be classified as a "scholar" in terms of rank. Previously, it was so laborious to defeat just one gray stone monster. Now, seven or eight of them appeared at the same time. It can be said that it has already been completed.
It was completely beyond the number that the cavalry could handle.
Despite this, the feathered cavalry did not take a step back, and it can be seen that they are indeed an elite regiment famous in all countries.
At this time, a little later than the cavalry, the fleeing people over there who were packing up their assets also noticed the strange changes in the group of monsters.
"No, it's not good! There's a stone monster coming out!"
"Don't panic, there are soldiers from the leadership to help us block it."
"No, with such a quantity, it's impossible to stop them!"
Perhaps they had learned the lesson from the previous solo attack and were besieged. The newly transformed stone monsters no longer rushed in recklessly. However, seven or eight ferocious stone monsters over two meters in size were slowly approaching us in a row. It was a nightmarish scene.
Enough to make even the bravest settlement people weak in their knees——
If it is a loose and slow-moving soil monster, you can still use sticks, hoes and bravery to fight against it, but if it is replaced by a stone monster with a hard body and infinite strength, it will be useless no matter how many lives are piled up. This is a settlement.
The precious experience gained by the people with countless generations of blood and tears.
"Back off! Back off quickly!"
"Take the children with you, and the woman should go in front!"
"Anyone who has the strength to help push the cart! We are about to run away!"
The moment they confirmed that the situation at hand was irreversible, the refugees reacted immediately. The refugees who gathered next to the overturned cage truck immediately gave up the materials they had dug out, turned around and ran away. The three cage trucks were also dragged by the beasts of burden.
Moving forward, the men gathered next to the cage car and pushed and pulled it hard, while the women also led the children and ran ahead.
The scene that was originally lacking in order was now more like adding fuel to the fire and descending into chaos.
Although they are in chaos, the general trend is that the fleeing people are planning to leave the battle formation. This is also a grateful choice for the feathered cavalry. Since the objects they are guarding have begun to evacuate, of course they no longer need to use the poverty and weakness in front of them.
There are too many people to fight against the ferocious stone monster.
"Is that the end..."
Wu Yan, who grasped the battlefield with an overall vision, let out a reluctant sigh.
As a leader, she certainly knew the importance of the assets on the carriage to the settlement people. She originally thought she could help them buy some time, but the melting of the monster group was indeed an unexpected change. The gray stone monster is a soldier.
Even an experienced pioneer would have to work as a three-person team to defeat this monster. However, this time we encountered more than one ferocious stone monster at the same time, and the strength of only twenty cavalrymen could not stand it at all.
Although Wu Yan also has the confidence to not lose to the experienced pioneers in terms of force, even if she is added now, it will not have a fundamental impact on the current situation. It is impossible for Wu Yan to hold on to his assets, but
Losing property in exchange for the separation of the people in the settlement is a reasonable choice.
Settlement residents who lose their assets often become refugees, and Liyang City has already suffered from refugees. The scene of Li Ru and other civil servants complaining endlessly appeared in Wu Yan's mind, and he raised the short whip in his hand with a wry smile.
