A Realistic Mount & Blade Game
#111 - Flames sweeping down the slope
‘Buzz!’
The moment Shen Mu's mind connected with the system, the Mount \u0026 Blade rules surged from his brow.
Then it soared into the sky, entering an area about twenty to thirty meters above.
“Huh? What’s that?” At this moment, the halfling elder Polo, and Liuna, who was still reaching out her hands, releasing a verdant light to heal the archer's arm, both subconsciously raised their heads to look at the sky.
In the corner of their eyes just now, or rather, in the special perception process of spirit creatures or Blue Star humans.
Both of them noticed that the white light that soared into the sky had a special flavor!
But they couldn't quite put their finger on how it was special.
They even felt like they might have seen it wrong.
But both of them were very clear that they hadn't seen it wrong at all, and that a white light had indeed flown out from Shen Mu.
Liuna was even extremely certain that the white light was a special power originating from the rules level!
This wasn't the first time she had seen this white light.
“……”
The two looked at each other, both seeing the surprise and a certain reverence in each other's eyes.
Especially the halfling elder Polo, who suddenly raised his head at this time, looking at the subtle black shadow appearing from the sky with a sharp whistle, the surprise in his eyes becoming even more intense.
‘Boom!’
But watching the black shadow with a sharp whistle crash to the ground, just hitting the outside of the city wall, in the middle of the pig-headed human horde that was originally charging towards this side, directly smashing two pig-headed humans into rotten meat, and rolling ten meters, crushing the calves of four or five pig-headed humans before stopping, was a stone ball about the size of a basketball.
This halfling elder Polo couldn't help but swallow his saliva, looking at the seemingly indistinguishable sky, the surprise in his eyes turning into horror.
“The power of rules!”
It muttered, “Could it be that this Lord Shen Mu… obtained… the power bestowed by those existences?!”
No one could have imagined that in today's Blue Star world, in addition to the original Blue Star rules.
Besides the invading undead rules and spirit world rules.
There was actually another kind of rule.
And this rule, because it had countless worlds of its own, condensed out, and also integrated a part of the Blue Star rules, a part of the spirit world rules, and finally gave birth to a new rule that was born from these rules, and was faintly higher in quality than these rules!
The Mount \u0026 Blade rules from the Mount \u0026 Blade system!
Halfling elder Polo couldn't imagine it.
Liuna couldn't imagine it either.
Because this was already beyond the limit that the two could imagine!
Even if they now saw the white light erupting from Shen Mu's brow, the first thing the two imagined was that Shen Mu had obtained some kind of powerful spirit world imprint, and had obtained the inheritance of some powerful existence.
Moreover, looking at the white light, and Shen Mu's usual politeness and respect in dealing with people.
There was no excessive compulsion or evil behavior.
Halfling elder Polo even imagined that the white light possessed by Shen Mu was similar to those… Light Divine systems that were extremely popular among the human race in the past!
Especially since Shen Mu also possessed the ability to release natural magic, which further deepened Polo's idea.
After all, some of the gods in the Light Divine system… did indeed maintain extremely good, or rather, ally-level friendly relations with the Natural Divine system and the natural pan-consciousness!
‘Boom!’
Just when the halfling elder Polo was guessing, Shen Mu was looking at the stone balls that suddenly appeared from the sky and then crashed down with a sharp whistle.
His face was calm.
But in Shen Mu's eyes, looking at the effect of the stone balls, he still expressed satisfaction.
Stone balls about the size of a basketball, in the shape of an arc, crossed the sky and just passed over the city wall and the baffle above, and smashed on the opposite side of the city wall.
Not only did they directly smash and kill the pig-headed humans who did not dodge under the city wall.
When the stone balls bounced and rolled.
Those pig-headed humans who did not have time to dodge, causing their calves or feet to be crushed, would instantly have their legs broken by the heavy stone balls and the terrifying inertia, turning into cripples!
The stone balls thrown by the heavy trebuchet themselves weighed dozens of pounds each.
Plus the inertia and the force of the fall.
Even thick stone walls can be smashed and smashed, and even towering stone towers can be bombarded to collapse time and time again.
Not to mention these fragile pig-headed human bodies composed of flesh and blood.
As long as they are touched by the stone balls.
That is the end of the fracture!
What's more, the stone balls that suddenly appear from the sky can basically appear every five or six minutes.
Representing that the heavy trebuchet can launch an attack once every five or six minutes.
The frequency is not high.
But it is not low either.
For those pig-headed humans who are still nervously attacking the city wall, and are still trying to rush to the top of the city wall, it is a devastating blow!
The killing effect caused is even greater than that of the crossbow cannons, which need to be aimed directly to kill many people!
The only pity is that because the trebuchet can only smash the enemy in front with an arc trajectory.
There is no way to directly smash the slope formed by countless furniture and pig-headed human corpses.
Shen Mu didn't care about this.
Instead, looking at those pig-headed humans who were not large in number, but were obviously more elite, and had already sent pig-headed humans mimicked by Blue Star humans to rush up desperately, he knew that these Diesel Company guys had reached the final stage.
Under the killing of Shen Mu's crossbow cannons, trebuchets, archers and crossbowmen, and even the throwing infantry of the Lake Rat Gang members.
From the start of the battle until now, it has only been less than 3 hours.
The time for the Diesel Company headquarters troops composed of these pig-headed humans to launch a general attack will not exceed 40 minutes.
The time is too short.
But in such a short period of time, so many troops have been lost.
Whether it is the temporary convoy or the headquarters troops composed of pig-headed humans, they have already suffered heavy casualties.
The number of casualties has now made Fu Jian, the commander-in-chief who led the troops over, and the mid-level commanders, who were originally thinking of easily defeating Shen Mu, the new human lord, and then seizing the spirit world imprint and returning to the orc tribe to receive rewards, hysterical and somewhat broken!
If they go back now, the tyrannical general manager will definitely not let them go.
Therefore.
Now they can only grit their teeth and fight hard!
After all, the early sunk costs are too high. If they can't win and recover all the sunk costs, then the final outcome is not as good as dying on the battlefield!
And thinking of this, Fu Jian, who had never seen such a powerful defense ability, is now furious because of fear.
He began to lead more elite pig-headed humans, personally taking the field, intending to attack the city!
“Zhang Caidong!” Fu Jian was still roaring, “Your people! Follow me! Charge together!”
“Under… understood!” Zhang Caidong was next to Fu Jian at this time, looking at the tragic city wall battlefield, and the tragic battle situation with corpses everywhere, he could only swallow his saliva and reluctantly agreed.
Pulling out his scimitar from his waist, watching these official employees of the Diesel Company around him, they all took out spirit world fragments, swallowed them directly, and began to carry out spirit world transformation, turning themselves into stronger spirit world creatures.
Zhang Caidong's heart wavered.
“What's going on with Diesel Company? Why does it feel like they are somewhat weak compared to this new human lord in front of us?”
Zhang Caidong was even more muttering in his heart.
Now he can certainly see that Fu Jian is ready to fight hard. The Diesel Company's troops have not even captured a city wall of the human territory.
Looking at the towering castle area next to the city wall, under the circumstances that the defense is obviously stronger.
If this desperate fight has no results.
Then the situation on the battlefield will be destined to fail.
“Everyone, prepare your talent spells.” Fu Jian slowly gritted his teeth at this time, as if he was reckless because of anger: “Group Bloodlust! Group Stone Skin! And the warrior skills you have all obtained! Prepare them all for me!”
As a commander, Fu Jian looked at the Blue Star humans who had been following him for a long time and belonged to the elite level.
His tone was extremely solemn: “Don't hide anything at this time. If we can't take this territory, our results, I think I don't need to say more, you can guess!”
“Understood.” Those Blue Star humans nodded slowly with gloomy faces at this time.
They did understand.
Then a faint light appeared on their bodies.
As the spirit world fragments were swallowed into their stomachs, the spirit world rule power contained inside also began to permeate.
Making the soul-level co-frequency resonance that had already completed the spirit world creature become more intense on their bodies, allowing these Blue Star humans to begin to more clearly mimic the appearance of pig-headed humans.
Taller, fatter, and more burly, with greater, more sufficient, and more terrifying power!
"Zhang Cai Dong! Tell the captains and members of your temporary teams to consume the Spirit Realm Mark fragments for me as well."
Fu Jian also turned his head, coldly looking at the captains of those temporary teams who had suffered heavy losses and had mournful expressions on their faces, roaring, "As long as you can accompany me in taking down this territory, I will apply for Spirit Realm Mark fragments for you after we return. Everyone will receive at least 50 fragments! Consider it a gift from me! What do you think!?"
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!" As soon as Fu Jian's words fell, the captains of these temporary teams looked at Fu Jian in disbelief.
50 Mark fragments.
And that's just the starting point!?
This means that if they have merit, they will receive more than 50 Mark fragments as a reward?!
"Is this true!?" Some of the temporary team captains and the members of their temporary teams who had good relationships were already asking.
"Of course," Fu Jian said in a low voice, his eyes full of hysteria, "But you must be able to break in and take down this territory!"
"…" When the captains of these temporary teams and the members of these teams heard Fu Jian's affirmative answer, expressions of shock and excitement appeared on their faces. They looked at each other and saw a plan emerging in everyone's eyes—
"Charge!"
This reward was too generous.
The members of these temporary teams, who were used to living hard lives, were now willing to risk their lives for this reward and follow Fu Jian!
Even Zhang Cai Dong, upon hearing the reward of 50 Mark fragments, felt a heavy palpitation in his heart.
He also clenched his fist, drew his scimitar, and nodded through gritted teeth, "Then we'll listen to Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian! Let's charge! Follow Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian! Occupy this territory!"
"Charge, charge, charge!"
These Blue Star humans immediately shouted loudly.
They were all Blue Star humans, with their own ability to think, and they knew how to protect themselves and detect better opportunities on the battlefield.
Compared to those stupid Spirit Realm creatures who only knew how to be reckless, the advantage of Blue Star humans was their intelligence.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Long live the Lake Rat Gang family!"
So, on the city wall, the Lake Rat Gang Destroyers gathered in front of the ramp faced even greater pressure!
Dozens of pig-men charged up, braving the rain of arrows. Many were stuck with so many arrows that they looked like hedgehogs, but as long as their vitals weren't hit, they still howled in pain, swinging their flails and charging forward with their lives, determined to reach the city wall and engage in a final battle with the human soldiers.
As a result, on the city wall, a Lake Rat Gang Destroyer's left arm was already severely injured and fractured because it used a heavy round shield to block a swinging flail, causing it to hang down limply. He could only swing his serrated spear with his right hand, gritting his teeth and struggling to fight the pig-men.
"Injured retreat! Others forward! Hold on!" Bandak had already seen this scene and the pig-men charging even faster on the ramp, making it difficult for more Lake Rat Gang Destroyers to continue resisting.
The strength brought by the pig-men's stout bodies was indeed far greater than that of the strongest Lake Rat Gang Destroyers.
Especially when it came to swinging the flail, its power was even greater than that of an ordinary hard hammer!
Like a nunchaku, it could use the chain to give the fist-sized black hammerhead an extra speed and inertia, bringing a terrifying force almost equal to the heavy blow of a two-handed warhammer.
Of course, this difficult-to-operate characteristic was greatly compensated by the pig-men's strong arms.
This led to the belief that once they entered the melee stage.
These pig-men all considered themselves to be much stronger than the human race, and it was an important source of their confidence!
In fact, that was indeed the case.
"Block them!"
A Lake Rat Gang Destroyer had already come to the front of the damaged baffle with a heavy round shield. Because of the urgency of the situation, he swung his serrated spear and directly slashed at the pig-man who had just flipped over and hadn't stood firm.
The sharp spear blade with small barbs directly cut a huge gash across the entire side of the pig-man's face.
The flowing blood made the pig-man's face even more terrifying.
This also caused the pig-man, who was stuck with more than a dozen feather arrows and crossbow bolts all over his body, to raise the flail in his hand because of the more intense pain, howling and charging towards the Lake Rat Gang Destroyer.
The force of the impact was so great that even the serrated spears poking over from the city wall couldn't withstand it.
This caused several Lake Rat Gang Destroyers in the front row to stagger backward.
They could only passively raise the heavy round shields in their hands to resist the impact of the frenzied pig-man, barely stabilizing their line of defense.
"Hold on!"
Several Lake Rat Gang Destroyers in the back grabbed their serrated spears and slashed at the pig-man's head.
It was as if they were using a broadsword to heavily crack open the pig-man's head.
Several other Lake Rat Gang Destroyers released their grip on the serrated spears at close range, picked up their armor-piercing axes from their waists, and fiercely hacked at the pig-man's head, directly splitting open the pig-man's skull with the sharp and heavy armor-piercing axe.
Even the brain matter splattered out.
Only then was this pig-man who had charged onto the city wall completely dealt with!
But just as they were dealing with this pig-man, more pig-men had already charged up from the ramp, flipped over the baffle that had been mostly smashed, and came to the top of the city wall, grunting with excited sounds.
Among them, there were many pig-men transformed from Blue Star humans whose bodies were flashing with faint light.
Howling in a pig-like voice, they directed the surrounding increasingly excited pig-men followers to charge towards the city walls on both sides, trying to create a position on this city wall that could accommodate more pig-men.
In a short period of time, on the twenty or thirty-meter section of the city wall north of the city gate, there were already more than twenty pig-men, who began to charge towards the north and south directions of the city wall.
For a time, the Lake Rat Gang Destroyers who had originally gathered here on the entire city wall were forced to retreat to both sides.
"Lord Bandak, the city gate is about to fall, we must evacuate!"
At the city gate, the experienced Lake Rat Gang thugs who were originally operating the two light crossbows began to persuade Bandak to leave.
Because while using the winch to draw the strings of the light crossbows, the other two experienced Lake Rat Gang thugs who were responsible for loading the harpoons and aiming had already drawn the fish spears from their backs and were throwing them at the pig-men on the ramp and city wall, having already joined the battle.
Not to mention the ones in front, who were still confronting the pig-men, relying on the 3-meter width of the city wall, two people could hold off one pig-man.
But they were still constantly retreating backward due to the flails swung by the pig-men, giving up more area of the city wall, causing these experienced Lake Rat Gang thugs to feel extremely anxious.
Not only did Bandak have to retreat, but the two light crossbows they were responsible for using had also reached the time to leave!
"Okay, retreat immediately," Bandak nodded, understanding their meaning, and calmly beckoned, "Bring six more Swadian light infantry soldiers to help move these light crossbows to the castle city wall!"
"Understood!" Several Swadian light infantry soldiers who were originally stationed here to relay orders immediately responded.
They stepped forward and worked with the experienced Lake Rat Gang thugs to start carrying the two light crossbows.
Several people worked together and then left from the south side of the city wall stairs, traversing through the town area, bypassing a large circle, and starting to re-establish the light crossbow firing positions on the castle area's city wall.
It was just that when the two light crossbows left, the pressure on the entire city gate and ramp area became even greater.
Those pig-men who had lost their direct threat began to charge even more fiercely.
On the entire city wall, there were already Lake Rat Gang Destroyers who had been knocked off the city wall because they couldn't dodge in time, panting heavily, but soon there was no more sound, and their pupils were dilated, obviously having died in battle, and the number of casualties was constantly increasing.
"Up! Throw fish spears!" Even under the city wall, the prepared experienced Lake Rat Gang thugs, seeing this scene, began to throw their sharp fish spears towards the city wall, killing those pig-men more accurately and with greater destructive force.
The city wall was still being lost.
Even the city gate, because it still had a 1-meter extra protrusion, could assist in stabbing and killing pig-men from the side with serrated spears, being able to withstand the impact of more pig-men, but at this time, those Lake Rat Gang Destroyers in the front were also being forced to retreat.
These Lake Rat Gang Destroyers in the front also suffered casualties at the same time.
The north and south directions of the city walls meant that in close combat, these fat, giant pig-headed men were at a disadvantage. They couldn't dominate as they had before, when there was no close-quarters fighting!
Even though archers were still shooting, the whistling of arrows and bolts tearing through the air continued.
Still, more and more pig-headed men, like hedgehogs covered in arrows and bolts, charged onto the city wall, relying on their strong vitality, howling and continuing to assault the crumbling defenses of the Lake Rat Gang Destroyers.
"My lord!" Beside Bandak, a Lake Rat Gang Destroyer said, "We can't hold on much longer!"
Although these words were hard to say.
The fact that these unruly Lake Rat Gang Destroyers could say them meant that they had truly reached their limit!
"I know." Bandak's expression was stern as he fought alongside them on the front line. From time to time, he would use his heavy crossbow to aim at the pig-headed men's faces from within 3 meters and pull the trigger, delivering a fatal blow with his heavy crossbow and steel bolts.
He naturally knew that these Lake Rat Gang Destroyers, although skilled in melee combat.
Were being forced to fight a line-holding battle on the city wall, which was somewhat beyond their capabilities.
"Swadian Sergeants! Go up the city wall from the stairs on both sides! Replace the Lake Rat Gang Destroyers!" So Bandak went to the edge of the city wall, pointed at the Swadian Sergeants who were already prepared and frowning at the fighting on the city wall, and ordered them to join the battle.
"Understood!" The Swadian Sergeants immediately responded loudly, without the slightest hesitation. They picked up their spears and quickly split into two rows, heading to the top of the city wall.
Facing the Lake Rat Gang Destroyers who were struggling and retreating, these Swadian Sergeants, who were more skilled at holding the line, slanted their 3-meter-long spears forward, forming a denser spear formation on top of the city wall!
In this narrow area, the Lake Rat Gang Destroyers were stunned by what they saw.
"Bend over, lie down! Crawl over!"
These Swadian Sergeants didn't care about the Lake Rat Gang Destroyers in front of them. They roared at them to avoid them, then raised their spears and walked towards the pig-headed men.
At the same time, the spear formation moved forward, compressing the space of the Lake Rat Gang Destroyers trapped in the middle.
"Lie down! Let's go!" The Lake Rat Gang Destroyers had lost their previous arrogance.
Having lost a dozen brothers in a short time, they were indeed unable to continue fighting with the pig-headed men, who were better at melee combat, stronger, and more tenacious, using round shields, serrated spears, and armor-piercing axes.
So they all lowered their heads, lay down, and crawled on their knees from the corner of the city wall, under the crotches of the Swadian Sergeants, quickly reaching a safe position.
They didn't care about dignity or honor, or saving face.
The Lake Rat Gang family itself was a family of robbers, a bunch of thugs.
When did these thugs start caring about honor?
Surviving now.
Is better than dying now, unable to continue serving Lord Simu!
In the Lake Rat Gang family, there would be no reputation for courageously sacrificing oneself, fighting the enemy head-on.
Instead, they would be ridiculed for not knowing how to escape at this time, and then attacking when the enemy showed a weakness, cleverly killing the enemy. They were just fools without brains or tactics, who only knew how to use brute force.
"Fortunately, these Lake Rat Gang Destroyers are quick-witted enough." Simu nodded slightly on the castle wall.
He approved of the way these Lake Rat Gang Destroyers disregarded their status and crawled away from the battlefield, even though it looked embarrassing.
These were top-tier Lake Rat Gang family troops, and Simu's precious soldiers.
He felt pain for every one that died.
Just now, after fighting fiercely on the city wall for so long, of the original 50 Lake Rat Gang Destroyers, Simu saw at least thirteen or fourteen killed.
This loss made Simu's heart bleed!
It was only when the Swadian Sergeants went over and formed a complete spear formation on the city wall that they stopped the pig-headed men's attack, briefly trapping the pig-headed men in the less than 100-meter section of the city wall, unable to advance or retreat.
"I have an idea!" Manid pulled the trigger, piercing a steel bolt into the shoulder of a pig-headed man with his war crossbow.
Watching the pig-headed man roar in anger, he turned to look at the sniper crossbows that were still firing javelins at the slope below the city wall, and then looked at Simu, reporting: "Now, it may be the best opportunity to directly attack the pig-headed men on the city wall!"
Now those pig-headed men are crowded on the city wall, and in a straight line.
If the javelins are fired along this line.
Then the results produced...
Will definitely be enormous!
Even Manid, who was not good at fighting, had this idea after seeing this scene.
"Of course, it is indeed a good opportunity." Simu nodded. At this time, he also saw the pig-headed men on the city wall who could not advance or retreat, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
His eyes were even more indifferent.
He not only wanted to bombard the pig-headed men on the city wall with crossbows, but also looked at the more pig-headed men behind, as well as the faintly glowing pig-headed men who were obviously mimicked by Blue Star humans, who had begun to enter the slope, wanting to come to the city wall, planning to completely occupy the city wall, and completely eliminate those guys!
Moreover, Simu also saw that behind them, many other Blue Star humans swallowed fragments of the mark, and the spirit world creatures mimicked, glowing all over, showing a grim smile.
Finally, he focused his gaze on the piles of furniture that were already covered with a large number of pig-headed men's corpses, but still had many wooden structures exposed, forming the slope and leveling the moat!
"Someone come." Simu turned his head and looked at several Swadian light infantry soldiers beside him, and arranged in a deep voice: "Go to the warehouse to get gasoline, and then go to Bandak, and let him sprinkle the gasoline on the slope when the battle is the most intense."
"Understood!" The Swadian light infantry nodded and turned to carry out the order.
Simu reached out and stopped him again, reminding him: "Remember, including telling Bandak, when sprinkling gasoline, be careful not to be discovered by those Blue Star humans, otherwise my plan will be ruined, and then he doesn't need to ignite it, just wait for my order to ignite it!"
"Understood." The Swadian light infantry nodded firmly again, and then turned and left.
Soon, barrels of gasoline were taken out of the warehouse, and seven or eight Swadian light infantry soldiers carried them to the top of the city gate, to Bandak, who was still using a spear formation to desperately resist the pig-headed men.
Then, under Bandak's arrangement, they carefully threw them down the slope, into the corner where the furniture was piled up.
He did not choose to directly pour gasoline.
Instead, he watched the pig-headed men around him, including the pig-headed men mimicked by Blue Star humans and other spirit world creatures, and when none of them were looking this way, he threw nearly 20 portable gasoline barrels onto the furniture.
He also found a brazier and lit a bonfire, placing it behind an inconspicuous baffle, ready to use at any time!
Bandak didn't understand what gasoline was, but it didn't prevent him from treating it as an enhanced version of oil.
The 'whoosh' of the fire that burned when gasoline was lit to make a fire at night had left a deep impression on Bandak.
Therefore, he still quite approved of this water-like thing.
"That's it." Bandak nodded solemnly, and then let the Swadian light infantry evacuate here.
The battle here was extremely fierce.
Only line-holding heavy infantry of the Swadian Sergeant level could barely withstand the pig-headed men's attack.
If it were Swadian light infantry, this ordinary Tier 3 soldier.
I'm afraid that at the moment of contact.
They would be constantly pushed back by the violent charging pig-headed men, and there would be more obvious casualties!
Now, in order to trap all the pig-headed men on this section of the city wall, Bandak believed that it was enough to have these Swadian Sergeants here!
"Lake Rat Gang Destroyers! Now, I need you to throw javelins for support!"
At the same time, Bandak immediately turned around and pointed at the Lake Rat Gang Destroyers who were still breathing heavily and had recovered from the previous fierce battle, asking them to use their hooked javelins to throw.
"Understood!" The Lake Rat Gang Destroyers didn't say anything, and immediately drew their hooked javelins from behind.
Looking at the pig-men in front of them, who had been completely blocked by the Swadian sergeants with their thick fan-shaped shields and spears, their ugly, fat faces were filled with ferocity.
The scene of themselves being forced back step by step by these ugly pig-men with their serrated spears was still fresh in their minds.
The Lake Rat Gang Destroyers were not generous people.
Now that these pig-men were trapped here, they happened to have an angle at the top of the city gate to fling out hooked javelins and snipe at the enemy at close range.
‘Swish, swish, swish, swish!’
These Lake Rat Gang Destroyers immediately took action, using longer and sharper hooked javelins to snipe at the pig-men at close range.
The pig-men, who had no means of ranged retaliation and could only use their bodies to withstand the javelins, let out screams of agony.
One by one, they were killed on the spot by the Lake Rat Gang Destroyers, who seized the opportunity to throw their javelins!
Including the 100 veteran thugs from the Lake Rat Gang below the city wall, who were throwing harpoons.
This caused even more pig-men to roar and squeal in even more miserable ways.
“Mass Stone Skin!”
But just at this moment, among the forty or fifty pig-men who had squeezed onto the entire city wall, a Blue Star human-turned-pig-man, shimmering with a faint light, let out an angry roar.
Then, a gray-black light surged out and spread to most of the pig-men.
Next, a layer of gray-black light, resembling a scab, appeared on the bodies of these pig-men, adhering to them.
As these pig-men slowed down their forward movement, the spearheads that had been stabbing fiercely and causing them great damage now made a ‘clang, clang’ sound of metal colliding the moment they touched their skin.
To be precise, it was the sound of metal hitting hard stone!
It was as if the bodies of these pig-men had directly turned into stone!
“Grunt! Grunt! Roar——!!!”
The pig-men in front, covered in Stone Skin, let out a huge squeal, and because of the heavy weight on their bodies and the added defense of Stone Skin, they swung the flails in their hands directly at the sharp spears in front of them.
Regardless, they shielded their heads with the shields on their left arms and used their flesh to withstand the spears, forcibly pushing the Swadian sergeants backward!
They really seemed like living stones, pressing against the spear formation set up by the Swadian sergeants.
Forcing these Swadian sergeants to retreat backward.
Unable to cause much damage to these pig-men!
Even the arrows and crossbow bolts that shot over from a distance clanged as they hit the pig-men.
Even the harpoons thrown by the veteran thugs of the Lake Rat Gang below could only leave some white marks on the flesh of these pig-men.
Even the spears thrust out quickly by the Swadian sergeants only made their hands ache from the shock.
As for the spearheads that were thrust out, they only sparked a series of sparks, with no real killing effect!
Or rather.
Attacking stones was unlikely to have any effect!
‘Boom!’ ‘Boom!’
‘Boom!’ ‘Boom!’
But all of this was except for the two siege crossbows on the square tower, and the two light crossbows that had been re-erected at the top of the castle area, which were bombarding this 3-meter-wide city wall!
That's right, Shen Mu's four crossbows could still inflict lethal damage on these pig-men protected by Stone Skin!
‘Crack!’
‘Bang!’
Even if it was stone, the threshold of defense was forcibly broken under the piercing of the iron spearheads fired from the crossbows, and the stone skin directly exploded and shattered.
Revealing the real flesh and blood of the pig-men underneath!
It directly pierced through the bodies of two pig-men, nailing them directly to the city wall, just unable to move, and blocking the Swadian sergeants from the pig-men behind!
And it wasn't just this group of pig-men skewered like candied haws, because there were four spears fired from the four crossbows.
Except for one that was blocked by the baffle because of the angle.
The remaining three directly pierced through six pig-men on the city wall.
Dividing them into three groups of candied haws!
Blocking the route of the pig-men behind who still wanted to rush forward on the city wall tightly.
Suddenly, they became even more agitated, making grunting sounds, and could only viciously push their still-undead companions to the side of the city wall, smashing them down with a loud bang, so that they could continue to rush forward.
There was no way around it.
Because the duration of Stone Skin was only 3 minutes.
Especially for Blue Star human-turned-pig-men who were very familiar with the duration of this spell.
If they didn't charge forward and collapse and break through the human spearmen within the duration, then they themselves would be in real danger after the effect of Stone Skin disappeared!
So now, they couldn't continue to hesitate here, so they all started to rush towards both sides of the city wall like madmen.
Causing the Swadian sergeants to retreat step by step.
It was only by relying on the more than 3-meter-long spears to block them that they could avoid the flails swinging 'whoosh whoosh' from hitting their bodies.
But even so, the spears in the hands of these Swadian sergeants, even if the front half was covered in iron, had already bent a lot, obviously bent and broken by the swinging flails!
These Swadian sergeants were forced to retreat backward, giving up more of the city wall.
Even Bandak, at the top of the city gate, was forced to lead these Swadian sergeants and the Lake Rat Gang Destroyers towards the stairs, as if unable to withstand the surging impact, and no longer able to resist, wanting to evacuate the area of the city wall!
“Kill! Kill! Kill! The city wall is about to be breached!”
“Charge up! The city wall has already been captured by us! Those humans are finished!”
“We're going to win! We're going to win!”
Those Blue Star human-turned-pig-men were cheering at this time, relying on the Stone Skin still in effect, they rushed forward regardless, hoping to seize more of the city wall.
Even the captains and members of the temporary convoy behind had swallowed spirit world fragments and the various spirit world creatures that had been transformed had also come to the city wall at this time.
It could be said that most of the elite and outstanding members of the Diesel Company had come to the city wall this time.
Came to Dehrim.
It was just that none of them noticed that among the scattered buildings in the town, a few lightly armed Swadian light infantrymen ran to the southern section of the eastern city wall where Bandak was still struggling to hold on.
Saying something to him.
Then this city defense expert, a heavy crossbow master who was good at using crossbows, immediately lit up, picked up a steel crossbow bolt wrapped in cloth, and lit it in the prepared brazier.
‘Swish!’ Then, he pulled the trigger and shot this steel crossbow bolt towards the slope more than 20 meters away!
With Bandak's decades of shooting experience, he accurately hit a gasoline barrel that he had personally dropped down, ensuring its accurate position, and wedged between the wooden furniture!
‘Boom!’
Just as those Blue Star humans, pig-men, and the rushing spirit world creatures were still unclear why a rocket had appeared.
Outside the city wall behind them, where all the wooden furniture was, and the corpses of pig-men wearing leather armor and cloth robes were everywhere, a huge flame rose up in the slope that had been filled and piled up!
And it also ignited the surrounding twenty or so gasoline barrels, carrying a scorching firestorm.
Instantly, it swept across the entire slope!
And swept across…
The rear of these Diesel Company elites!
