Lord Highlander

The exploding arrows from the bed crossbow and the flint from the catapult made these ghost-striped soldiers miserable and retreated steadily.

They were forced to give up the stone bridge, and Andrew and Samira quickly occupied the stone bridge with a span of three kilometers. As expected, the bridge deck was wider as they got to Tianzhu Mountain. The diameter of the part of the stone bridge deep into the soil is almost two hundred meters.

There are actually some other stone bridges beside it, but none of those other stone bridges are as big as this one.

Suldak led the army quickly across the stone arch bridge, and finally came to the other side of the lake.

At the foot of Shizhu Peak, I discovered that this place is the dynasty of the ghost-striped red ants. The entire mountain wall has been dug by the ghost-striped red ants. Looking around, there are ant nests dug by the ghost-striped red ants everywhere. I don't know which hole is the real entrance to the ant nest.

There are some busy ghost pattern worker ants everywhere. These ghost pattern soldier ants, which are about the size of a calf, are lined up in a neat line, with all kinds of food on their contact pincers. They gather together 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-striped 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 tribe warriors in the front are holding up their shields to block the attack of the ghost-striped soldier ants. The flints and explosive arrows shot from the crossbow continued to explode in the ant colony, and more soldier ants rushed up almost frantically.

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 are allowed to rush over, it will cause huge pressure on the army formation.

Following several rounds of counterattacks by the ghost pattern soldier ants, most of the northern bridgeheads that had already been occupied were reoccupied by the ghost pattern red ants.

Moreover, the army has been fighting on the bridge, and it is difficult to recover many giant crossbow arrows after they are fired.

Until now, the giant crossbow bolts worth 10,000 gold coins purchased by Suldak from the merchant Malakom have almost been exhausted, and the supply in the rear has shown that it is not sufficient, so Suldak can only give up the stone bridge again. , retreating to the south exit of the stone bridge, waiting for the giant bed crossbow mobilized by merchant Malakom from Wilkes City.

Every day, a large number of ghost pattern soldiers rushed out, and the battle on the stone bridge became more intense.

Among them, there are also some giant soldier ants with black hard armor mixed in the soldier ants camp. These giant soldier ants are not afraid of ordinary crossbow bolts at all. Every time they emerge from the ant colony, Samira will entertain them with magic giant crossbow bolts. .

...

Entering November, there were two consecutive heavy snowfalls during this period.

The icy lake under the stone bridge can already support pedestrians, and there is no problem with horse racing in the edge area, but Lei Tingxi can't walk on it yet.

The fighting power of ghost-striped soldiers ants was greatly reduced in the snowstorm. When Andrew led the cavalry back from the stone bridge, there was a howl of crying and screaming from the lake in the distance. A huge monster was on the yellow grass by the lake On the road, chasing the adventure group and mercenary group that collected magic herbs overnight.

A group of ghost pattern soldier ants emerged from the cave behind it. They raised their tall tentacles and caught up with those who fell behind. Immediately, blood and limbs exploded in the crowd.

Although the adventure group by the lake organized a few counterattacks, they were quickly dispersed by the rampant behemoth.

The members of the adventure group and the mercenary group quickly approached the Suldak army formation, and the ghost pattern soldiers chased after them.

At this moment, Andrew led the cavalry battalion and rushed towards the huge monster along the lake.

That huge monster was twice as thick as the ten-meter-long ghost-striped male ant, and its armor was almost dyed black. The outriggers support the body, maybe the sand by the lake is too soft for it, six outriggers are stuck in it, and each time it has to be pulled out from the sand to take a step forward.

The huge and fat belly dragged the sand by the lake out of a deep ravine. It had a pair of extremely long tentacles, like two spears, on which were already hung the corpses of six or seven members of the adventure group, waving When touching the limbs, the completely fragmented corpses were hanging on it and swinging back and forth. Not only the two limbs were stained red with blood, even its upper body was also stained red with sticky blood.

Samira stood on the high platform of the armed Thunder Rhinoceros, and she asked her assistants to install a giant 'armor-breaking' crossbow on the bed crossbow.

It's a pity that this place is a little far away from the battlefield, and I can only watch these adventure group members fleeing desperately to this side.

At this moment, Andrew's five hundred cavalry had already rushed forward quickly.

But when he saw a swordsman who summoned the phantom of the sword master was pierced through the chest by that huge monster, he knew that all the cavalry behind him could not be the opponent of that huge monster.

All the cavalry tried their best to distance themselves from the behemoth, and there were several powerful swordsmen in the adventure group, who desperately wanted to hold the behemoth and create time for their teammates to escape.

They all knew how sharp and powerful the two tentacles of this behemoth were, and they could easily pierce through even an excellent tower shield.

Fortunately, it is extremely inconvenient to move when it is stuck in the sand. It is like a huge farming machine. Every time it takes a step forward, sand and soil are flying on both sides of its body.

Andrew didn't even think about the consequences of rushing up, so he rushed up single-handedly on his horse.

The 500 cavalry behind them dispersed to intercept and kill other ghost pattern soldiers and ants who were chasing and killing the adventure group.

The two-headed ogre had just walked out of the barracks, and happened to see the giant monster by the lake, and shouted to Surdak, "Dark, there is a male ant popping up over there, Andrew may not be able to beat it, let's go help... ..."

This is the first time for Suldak to hear that the ogre is going to gather its companions to fight the opponent in groups, and the ogre seldom speaks like this.

But since Gullitum said so, he quickly got out of the tent, mounted his horse and chased after Gullitum.

Seeing Suldak and Gulitum chasing after Andrew, Samira also let the armed Thunder Rhino approach the huge monster along the grass by the lake.

Before Suldak got close to the giant monster, he felt the rumbling sound of the ground under his feet, and then the continuous huge earthquakes made it almost impossible for people to stand on the ground, and saw a large lump suddenly bulging on the ground by the lake. Then, a gigantic creature protruded from the permafrost, stretched out two three-meter-long pincers, and stopped Gulitum and Suldak in front of them.

In the cave dug behind it, countless ghost-pattern soldier ants spewed out.

Samira stood on the armed Thunder Rhinoceros, less than 200 meters away from this huge monster. Her bed crossbow happened to be equipped with a giant 'armor-piercing' crossbow bolt. Facing such a huge monster, she didn't even need to aim at it. Can hit.

The arrow flew out, carrying a trace of wind element...

He shot the huge monster in front of him in an instant, but the 'armor-piercing' crossbow actually pierced the thick armor on its chest, and couldn't penetrate the hard armor at all.

The huge beast also looked down at its chest in astonishment, and then let out a furious roar.

The shock wave rippling under his feet blew the ghost pattern soldier ants that had just crawled out of the wormhole into a private roll, and Gulitum was pushed back more than ten meters by the circular shock wave.
