Chapter 50 22. The dice rolled and
the head of the six wild manticores hit the wall of the village hard. The wall shook, and the wood made a tooth-piercing sound.
The Druchi soldiers guarding the Reaper ballista raised their weapons and cheered.
If a siege is possible, with luck it may take two to four teams of Druchi soldiers to eliminate a wild manticore. The terrain like the city wall is just for added fuel, and you get as much as you want.
In mid-air, a dense group of harpies pounced down, the reaper crossbows switched to shotgun mode, and the black sharp repeater's repeating crossbow and the trainer's harpoon crossbow also started shooting.
Darkus took his bow and shot two arrows, accurately hitting the heads of the two harpies.
The crossbow arrows in shotgun mode swept away a large area, and the harpies fell like raindrops and fell to the ground.
Several harpies got through the intensive anti-aircraft firepower and began to attack the Druchi soldiers on the wall. The Druchi soldiers were afraid of the wild manticores, and the harpies had their own ways of dealing with them.
The fear spearman will place the spear diagonally on the ground the moment the harpy pounces, with his body half-bowed and his shield horizontally. The harpy will usually directly skewer it on the spear, and the sad swordsman next to him will cooperate to cut off the eagle. The claws of the banshee were processed harmlessly.
Franais and Renn raised their shields in front of Darkus, blocking the swooping attack of a harpy. Darkus immediately drew out the Mercer knife and cut off the harpy's claws. , the second sword cut directly in half, and the harpy screamed and fell to the wall of the village.
In this wave of harpies, only a few escaped, and they were still missing arms and claws. One harpy even took a spear away.
An hour passed and nothing happened.
The Druchi soldiers began to slack off, and for them this year's Twilight Tide seemed to be over.
The dinosaurs lying on the square began to take a nap around the campfire, wagging their tails in various ways.
After another two hours, the Druchi soldiers began to sit on the ground and rest under the orderly arrangements of the captain and centurion.
Darkus sat down and asked curiously: "Is it over?"
Franais still stood on guard and said seriously: "Sir, it should be over."
Darkus shrugged boredly.
"It's really anticlimactic."
After another two hours, Darkus was about to fall asleep.
Suddenly, Carlion shouted: "Be on guard! Something is coming, a lot of it!"
Darkus suddenly became energetic, tilted his head and revealed half of his face to observe, but there was nothing in the forest.
"Close!"
Darkus also heard the footsteps.
Morsribu was plump and plump, standing out in the sky. It had risen to the highest point, as if it was right in front of Darkus and could be touched by reaching out.
The group of beastmen rushed out of the forest like a tide, waving stone weapons in their hands and striking the wall in a chaotic manner. The ones who rushed over jumped directly into the pit. The group of beastmen began to build a wall and attack. One beastman finally climbed up and was directly hit on the head by Walter's leaf hammer. The beastman did not fall. Or screamed, but paused, seeming to be a little dazed after being beaten. Walter showed a surprised expression, and swung the hammer again, hitting the place where he attacked before. Darkus clearly heard a bone cracking sound. At the sound, the beastman fell down directly.
This kind of beastman completely broke through Darkus' cognition. He had always believed that beastmen were bipedal goat-headed monsters, centaurs or minotaurs like those in Duncanwald Forest or Arden Forest in the old world. .
This kind of beastmen seems to have little intelligence. They have no long-range weapons and command, and they do not carry siege weapons such as ladders, or carry sandbags and other things to fill trenches.
This kind of beastman seems to be very smart? They only attack one point on the wall, and only four Reaper Ballistas can attack the wall.
By now the big hole had been filled, and beastmen kept pouring out of the forest. Beastmen began to climb up the wall of the village in large numbers.
"Why didn't the group of harpies attack at the same time as the beastmen just now? Is there a disconnect between ground and air coordination?"
Darkus had no chance to participate in the battle. The battlefield was only so wide that he couldn't squeeze in, and neither could those Druzi. Let him squeeze in.
Facing this group of experience babies coming in like a tide, Darkus doesn't need experience to level up. He could only take out his bow and shoot two arrows, and the arrow accurately hit the beast man's head, but the beast man continued to climb up the wall of the village indifferently.
Although the Dread Spearmen and the Gloomy Swordsmen cooperated well, more and more beastmen rushed up. These beastmen were extremely powerful. The Drukhi soldiers couldn't stand it anymore, and gradually opened them to both sides, and the battlefield became wider and wider. Small. Several Druch soldiers retreated and were knocked to the ground before they could react in time. They screamed a few times and then died.
Kalien decisively commanded the Reaper Ballista battery and asked them to set up the Reaper Ballista in the square and start shooting at the wall.
Edmund put the five groups of soldiers watching the fun on the other side of the wall and the five groups of Druchi soldiers preparing in the barracks between the beasts and reaper crossbows who jumped off the wall, and fired the crossbow in shotgun mode. He went out and nailed the beastmen who had just climbed up the wall to death.
Alyssa released four scorching amber spears in succession, slightly containing the beastman's offensive.
Edmund found Darkus and asked to open the gate of the stronghold so that the reserves could go out to surround the beastmen and widen the battlefield.
A crow suddenly landed on Darkus' shoulder, tilting its head and looking at him.
Darkos's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a very bad feeling.
"It's too late, we're in trouble, something big is coming." He pointed to the square.
A purple portal slowly appeared in the square inside the village.
A group of Slaanesh demons rushed out.
Darkus knows this thing. Among the servants of Slaanesh, there are the most libidos. They are very charming, especially their long tongues, which can lull people to sleep. Although they are hateful in appearance, they can be made extremely beautiful by applying magic. The lust demons cross the battlefield with light steps, and the flashy tattoos on their bodies are like whirlpools of color, all kinds of strange and dazzling. These strange creatures dance in the formation, their claws piercing armor and flesh, causing the enemy to feel fatal pleasure.
I talked about the Tide of Twilight before, just like rolling a dice, but this time Darkus rolled a six. This six has a double meaning. One six means that there are a lot of beastmen tonight, and the other six represents the relationship between love and art. The holy number of Slaanesh.
"It's really six."
