Chapter 24: Breaking the City
Minas Nir began to charge towards the mutant hydra. Although the flying height was only more than 200 meters, this distance was enough to increase the speed. Imric also raised the Star Lance in his hand. This will be the first time for the two to fight side by side, and a perfect result must be achieved.
Feeling the strong airflow coming from the ground, Imrik aimed at the mutant head at the top of the hydra and turned on the fanatical aura. Minas Nir also felt that he seemed to have become stronger. This was what Imrik had done before. Things have been explained with it, so no surprises.
The giant beast that was attacking the city wall also discovered that the giant dragon above was charging towards it, turned its bulky body, and its five heads were ready to take the lead in giving Minas Nir a breath of fire.
The dragon tamer's spell has not failed after thousands of years, the breath of fire is blocked by the magical barrier of the oath contract, and the two giant beasts are about to start a physical fight.
As he approached, Imric had accurately thrust out the eight-meter-long star lance in his hand. Speed was power. With the blessing of Minas Nir's speed, this lance attack achieved good results. Effectiveness.
The Star Lance has the blessing of the ancient Glory Star Dragon, which will provide the user with a very high charge increase, and the lance tip made of an extremely rare extraterrestrial meteorite can pierce all objects. The lance tip He successfully stabbed a mutated head, and continued thrusting in. Half of the eight-meter-long lance did not penetrate the ugly head.
Minasnir, on the other hand, took advantage of its first mover advantage as an aerial creature. After charging, it first bit one of the necks of the hydra, and its two forelimbs also grabbed the other two heads, and its powerful hind limbs firmly grasped the hydra. Its huge body allowed it to exert force easily. When Minasnir was about to use force to tear off three heads at the same time, the remaining snake head bit its neck.
Seeing this situation, Imric relied on Asur's natural speed advantage and the bonus of the fanatical aura to pull out the lance in his hand and stabbed the remaining snake head. Although the dragon lance was extremely powerful, But it was difficult to use because it was too long, but in Imrik's hands, it was as flexible as a spear that was only a little over two meters long.
The lance of the star successfully stabbed the mutant monster's attack, but without the blessing of a charge, it only blinded one eye. The head shrank back under the pain.
At this time, Minas Nir had already used his hind limbs to fix the huge body of the mutant hydra. Using his head and forelimbs at the same time, the three huge heads were torn off from the neck.
The blood carrying chaotic energy splashed all over Imrik, but he had no time to feel the stench on his body and continued to attack the last head with the lance. But at this moment, the mutant head that had just been pierced by the Star lance seemed to be alive again. Come over and attack yourself.
And Imrik saw the leech-like sucker-like mouthparts of the ugly head rushing toward him, and he temporarily changed the direction of his lance to attack the head.
But at this time, in order to cover Imrik, Minasnir let go of the hydra's body, its huge wings began to flap, and retreated some distance behind.
After putting some distance away from the hydra, Minasnir said to himself through telepathy, "Don't be reckless, young man, you cannot use such risky methods to deal with these creatures of chaos." After speaking, Minasnir
said I began to gather my breath, intending to burn the mutant head first.
But the loud noise coming from the side indicated that the city gate had been breached by another hydra. He forced his attention to look at the giant beast in front of him. Imrik knew that the top priority now was to kill it first. Several of its necks were torn off. Granulation has begun to squirm, and a new head will grow back soon.
......... Masnuo, who was standing behind the city gate, was on guard. When the prince and Minas Nil rushed out to attack the mutant hydra, he knew that the focus of defense would be on the city gate, the ten-door eagle claw. The ballistae has been placed not far from the city gate. As long as the hydra comes in, it will have to face the firing of ten ballistae. The magic turret has also been charged and can be fired with just one command.
The high priest holding a giant ax and wearing heavy black armor was standing next to Masno. Allowing a monster to enter the fortress where the temple was located was already a huge breach of responsibility. He needed to kill the hydra. He offered his head to Ardaeus to ask for his forgiveness.
As the city gate continued to fall wood chips, the city gate made of starwood was not as strong as the poet said. After a violent sound, it collapsed to the ground.
When the body of the hydra first appeared in the eyes of the people in the city, the gunner, who had been preparing for a long time, had not waited for Masno to give the order. Ten siege crossbows had already been fired at the huge body of the hydra, causing it to howl in waves. Yelling, the snake's head hit the wall next to it, making a thumping sound, but even so, it did not die immediately.
The crossbow bolt remained on its body, seemingly without much impact. Only the end of the crossbow bolt protruding outside the body proved a successful hit.
Roaring and rushing into the city, it was as if the earth was shaking. When faced with the charge of a thirteen-meter-tall beast, not everyone had the courage to stand firm, but the Caledonians still stood firm here.
After the hydras began to charge, the beasts waiting outside the city also joined the battle. The first thing that greeted them was bursts of arrow rain. Although Imric was a little disdainful of bows and arrows, he had been training for decades or even centuries. Asur archers can accurately hit a coin at a distance of 100 meters. In addition to the extremely long training time, they are completely comparable to early firearms that use black powder.
Three hundred long arrows accurately hit the monster's body, but for the monsters outside with units of thousands, this loss can only be said to be insignificant.
Letting others stand their ground, Masnuo planned to take the Dragon Prince to deal with the hydra first. Under the influence of the aura of faith, the increase in protection brought by the Evil Moon was almost offset.
But this hydra is still extremely difficult to deal with. If he has a war horse and a lance, Masno can still pose some threat to it, but the long sword in his hand, which is like a toothpick compared to the size of the hydra, obviously has very little effect. , but he can only do this.
But the high priest stood up and stopped his actions. He first ordered three obsidian altar doors to attack the hydra, while the other two doors attacked the narrow passage of the city gate.
After the black flames were activated again, the hydra let out a hissing cry again. The black flames on its body made the creature feel extreme pain. The high priest did not give the hydra a chance and picked up the giant ax in his hand. He rushed forward. As the chosen one of Ardaeus, anger and fanaticism were synonymous with him.
Seeing the high priest rushing forward, Masnuo had nothing to do. The black flames were an attack that did not distinguish between friend and foe. As the chosen one, the high priest could ignore it and continue the attack, but he couldn't. He could only order the gunner to speed up the reloading. , remotely supporting the high priest.
He picked up the sword and shield in his hand and ordered the newly trained two-handed heroes to start attacking. He could not let these monsters escape from the encirclement of the city gate. When he raised the sword and dropped it, a saber-toothed tiger that wanted to attack him had already been pierced. Throat.
